26 Tongzhou Chaos

Almost at the same time, the governor of Baoding returned to the backyard of the yamen. Just as he was waiting for a good rest, he suddenly heard a panic coming from far and near: "Master, it's not good, it's not good..."

After listening to the scriptures, I was so scared that this time it was related to his future. If he did it well, he would have a bright future. If he didn't do it well, he would probably move his head.

He pushed away the concubine who was warming the bed, and while putting on his clothes urgently, he shouted loudly: "What's the matter?"

"Master, Jianlu... Jianlu army is here!" The servant who reported the report reported in panic.

With a "pop", I saw Jingshuo so scared that he sat on the ground, and then stood up like crazy. He strode out without caring his official uniform and shouted: "Hurry, pass quickly, close the city gates, and prepare for war!"

This time, he returned to the city as fast as possible. The situation in front of him made him feel relieved. The crowds heading to Zhangjiawan were like countless panic-disordered ants, still rushing to transport grain. Most of them were still rushing to Zhangjiawan, and only a small number of people were carrying grain back on their shoulders and hands.

In the distance, there were cavalrymen who were scattered here and were being affected by the point of being the surface. Even cavalrymen in other directions were running towards the city. As for Jianlu's shadow, they had not seen it yet.

The generals, such as Heiyunlong, Ma Dengyun and others, probably received a report and were rushing to the city and gathered with the governor of Baoding.

After reading the scriptures, he immediately asked, "Why is the city gate not closed yet? Where is Jianlu? How many Jianlu army is there?"

"..." No one could answer, all he could be silent in confusion.

After a long time, the general in charge of this section of the city responded: "Return to Zhongcheng, there are people in and outside the city, and the city gate cannot be closed at all!"

"Why are you still standing there? The gong sounded a warning, burning grain, and letting the soldiers outside the city return to the camp quickly and form a formation by relying on the city!" Xie Jingshu was furious.

The sound of "dang ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding , causing the crowd outside the city to stop instantly stumble . After looking around , they suddenly rushed back to Tongzhou City . At the same time, with a wider range of crying and shouting at parents , more people were trampled , but no one could control anyone !

After a while, more and more cavalrymen fled back, but they could not enter the city, so they had to gather near the city wall.

Although the scriptures on the city were interpreted on this cold winter day, they were sweating on their foreheads, which made people ask about the situation of these cavalry troops about the Jianlu army. However, they found that no one could tell the specific situation, either that there were many, or that when some cavalrymen ran away first, they followed.

The scriptures suddenly had a bad premonition because he was on the front line and knew the urinary nature of these soldiers.

At this moment, a thick smoke rose from the Zhangjiawan grain, and it was obvious that the grain had already started to set fire.

In the distance, more and more cavalrymen fleeing back, running back desperately. Behind the last cavalry, the shadow of Jianlu finally appeared, and was regaining the Ming cavalry who fled to the last.

This time, the scriptures were completely panicked and quickly ordered: "Hurry, close the city gate!"

"Zhongcheng, now everyone is surrounded by people and cannot be kept in the city!" The gentry general reported with sweat on his head.

Outside the city gate, there were indeed people. Not only were there people, but even the royal soldiers who were originally going back to the military camp outside the city were also confused and rushed into the city. There were dense crowds of people in the land. It would be strange if they could close the city gate!

The sweat on the forehead of the scriptures was dripping down. If Jianlu took advantage of the situation to attack the city, it would definitely be over!

He panicked and quickly ordered, "Call them and don't enter the city!"

Then, he turned his head and ordered the generals: "Hurry, let your servants gather again, and be sure to stop Jianlu from approaching before the city gates are closed!"

"Zhongcheng, the cavalry has just withdrawn, and their morale has been lost. They have been disobedient before and cannot respond to the battle!" Heiyunlong immediately cried out.

What he said was indeed true, and the other generals also shouted, saying that they could not stop the cavalry outside the city from facing the enemy.

"Are you just watching Jianlu take the opportunity to attack the city? Tongzhou City is broken, and you and I can't escape death!" Jie Jingchuan got angry, "Don't forget that the emperor just issued an imperial edict, no matter whether it is true or false, he will be killed without mercy!"

All of them felt the emperor's determination from the imperial edict, and knew that this matter would not be fun. In a hurry, Ma Dengyun suddenly clasped his fists and told: "Master Zhongcheng, now the only way to cut off the abortion can you close the city gate!"

When he heard the scriptures, he was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at the crowds rushing in outside the city gate, and suddenly understood what his suggestion was.

If you usually find out about this kind of thing, you will definitely report to attack it. But at this time, there is no way for the two to weigh the pros and cons.

"Good, you can do this matter. Go quickly and be sure to close the city gate within a quarter of an hour!" Jie Jingshu's face was a little hideous and he ordered loudly.

Ma Dengyun didn't expect that the job was on his head. When he was about to refuse, he found that the eyes of the scriptures that looked at him seemed to be eating people. He had no choice but to hold his fists and take the order and say, "I will obey the order!"

After a while, the top of the city gate of Tongzhou, above the city gate, a wooden rock used to guard the city suddenly fell down. The unprepared abortion was immediately smashed to death and death, and the abortion was cut off and the city gate was finally closed.

Soon, the crowd outside the city came back to their senses and knew that they could not enter the city. The crying sound suddenly shook dozens of miles. Everyone went crazy in despair, either fled in all directions or surrounded the city, trying to get as close as possible to the city. In this panic, I don’t know how many people trampled to death.

On the top of the city, Jie Jingchuan and others breathed a sigh of relief and finally closed the city gate. Only then did they look up and observe Jianlu in the distance.

But at this moment, even the governor of Baoding, who had never fought with Jianlu, saw something strange. He immediately turned around and looked at the generals beside him, with anger on his face and roared loudly: "What the hell is going on?"

Besides, Cao Huachun received the permission of the emperor and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, when I came back, I saw a lot of censors gathered at the Meridian Gate, and some officials from the six ministries seemed to be saying that if the emperor stayed, they would advise again, which was very noisy..."

After hearing this, Hu Guang understood. I was afraid that these censors could guess that their handling was to stay at home, so they thought of imitating the great ritual disputes during the Jiajing period outside the Meridian Gate and preparing to kneel down to give advice. At that time, these civil officials were proud of receiving the court stick, and they all seemed to be dying. The powerful Emperor Jiajing was very troubled by them!
