Daming heir

Chapter 394 Who Is Playing the Qin at the Head of the City
Kaifeng City.

As thousands of heads fell to the ground, all discordant voices seemed to disappear overnight.People don't think about worrying about the outcome of the future, but the knife hanging around their necks makes them dare not be negligent in the slightest.

As the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Kaifeng City were mobilized to support and suppress the rebellion in the territory of Dinghe River, Kaifeng City finally closed the city gate completely. No matter day or night, there were no documents jointly issued by the three yamen. No one can open a gate.

The Sansi yamen and the various yamen in the city went up and down, and finally gathered more than 2000 guards from the third squad, and even the firefighters of the fire prevention squad were sent to the city wall.

Along with it, there are nearly [-] servants who survived the disaster in the city, as well as the servants of the unfortunate families. On the surface, they are jointly guarding the safety of Kaifeng City.

On the gate tower on the west side of Kaifeng City, as the former capital of the former Song Dynasty and a thoroughfare city, this gate tower overlooking Luoyang in the west and Guanzhong in the distance is very majestic and magnificent.

Although it has experienced wars and vicissitudes for hundreds of years, as a thoroughfare city in the Central Plains, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Kaifeng City has never stopped investing in and repairing it.

The city gate tower sits east and looks west, and the simple and plain gray-brown main color looks extremely calm.

Coupled with the battlements of the city walls, those guards and domestic servants who don’t look very good-looking and have a loose fighting posture also look quite stern, with the atmosphere of the rain on the battlefield and the dark clouds overwhelming the city.

At the head of the city of Kaifeng, where the fighting spirit is lurking, there is a long and long sound of the piano, coming from the gate tower, and leaning towards the wilderness outside the city.

Sometimes it is as light as raindrops, and sometimes it is as heavy as thunder; sometimes it is like mountains and flowing water, and sometimes it is like stormy waves.

It's confusing to people, how many kinds of things can be seen in the world can be played by the performers on the top of the city.

And in the city.

The government issued several notices in the past few days, with very cautious words, most of which were to appease the hearts of the people in the city.It's just that the more this is the case, the more the people feel that something may happen to Kaifeng City.

In addition to going out for shopping every day, most people will only look outside the house at dawn, and will continue to hide in the house if they don't see any changes.

At this moment, on the western city wall, the sound of a few footsteps broke the silence of the city wall that was originally only the sound of the piano.

A few guards in brocade clothes, dressed in dark brown and with embroidered spring knives on their waists, walked from the city to the front of the city gate.

In front of the gatehouse on the city wall, Pei Benzhi, the governor of Henan Province, was sitting under the gate. His eyes were either looking out of the city into the distance, or looking down at the Guqin under his hands.

Beside him, surrounded by the grandson of Emperor Jian Guo of the Ming Dynasty, the heirs of Prince Qin's Mansion, the heirs of Prince Yan's Mansion, as well as Zhang Hui from a hundred households of Jin Yiwei, and Tian Mai from the dark guard.

When several Jinyiwei officers and soldiers arrived in front of the city gate, they bowed and clasped their fists. They were about to speak up. Standing behind Pei Ben, Zhu Yunxi, who was watching the scenery outside the city and listening to the music of the piano in front of him, raised his hand to signal them to stay calm.

Out of the corner of Pei Benzhi's eyes, he glanced at the person coming, and his finger snapped faster in vain.

On the seemingly peaceful battlefield, the two sides, who had already formed their formations, suddenly burst out with shrill horns and drums, and then the horse infantry shouted to kill and began to charge.The two huge army formations collided heavily, and for a while, people were turned on their backs, limbs and arms were broken on the battlefield, and blood flowed like rivers.No matter which side the fighters were, they were all howling, and the red-eyed ones entered into hand-to-hand combat.

At the end, an arrow sounded in the air, and the battlefield was already full of corpses. The victorious side did not cheer or celebrate, but silently rescued the casualties of the friendly army, and made up for the undead enemy a few times.

After sunset, the barracks was still extremely silent.Celebrating victory will take a long time.

Clap clap clap clap.

In the city gate tower, Zhu Yunxi was the first to raise his hands to applaud Pei Benzhi, who had been performing for a long time.

"I don't think Da Chuan has such a skill, today he is like Zhuge Kongcheng retreating Sima."

Zhu Gaochi also praised from the side: "Pei Fangbo has such a talent, which makes us ashamed. I can't wait for such an elegant thing."

Pei Benzhi stood up with a smile, shook his head again and again, turned sideways and waved, and asked the attendants to remove the piano and the piano stand together.

Then Pei Benzhi bowed to Zhu Yunxi: "It's just that when I was a young man who was not good at learning, I fiddled with it a few times, but now I am really unfamiliar with my hands. I dare not compare myself to Marquis Wu, and there will never be a Sima family in the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yunxi smiled silently twice, and looked sideways at Xiaohan beside him.

Zhu Shangbing walked up to Pei Benzhi and motioned him to look out of the city, and then he stretched out his fingers to designate the direction for Pei Benzhi.

Pei Benzhi was puzzled for a while, so he had to follow Qin Shizi's instructions and look out of the city.

Suddenly, out of nowhere in the deserted wilderness, a group of elite cavalry with long knives at their waists, crossbows hanging sideways, guns on their horses and long muskets on their backs sprang out from nowhere.

This cavalry, armed to the teeth, rushed towards the undulating horizon in the distance, and the firecrackers on their backs were also held in their hands.The cavalrymen held their muskets, hung on their horses, and casually directed forward to fire.

A puff of smoke came out, blocking the rushing cavalry for a short time.

After a gust of wind, Pei Benzhi on the top of the city saw dozens of people appearing in the wilderness, fleeing in a panic with their backs to Kaifeng City.

The cavalry were not in a hurry, the guns turned back, and the crossbow on the side was held in their hands.This time the cavalry did not act casually, but held their breath, moving in sync with the galloping horses below them, and only when they found the most suitable opportunity would they shoot out the crossbow arrows in their hands.

Almost every crossbow arrow will get into a person's back.

When there were only a dozen or so cavalrymen left in front, they switched to long spears, and their horses caught up with the various spies fleeing in the wilderness outside the city.

The spears wrapped in red tassels pierced into the backs of the spies, and the cavalry let go immediately to avoid being dragged off their horses by the corpses that had lost their strength.

When the cavalry had rushed a long distance and there were no rebel spies in front of the road, the cavalry turned their horses and reined in the reins, and the horses paced back slowly.

When the cavalry got off their horses, the officers and soldiers led the horses with one hand and retrieved the abandoned spears with the other.Then he drew out the saber on his waist and began to count the enemy spies who were still groaning and not yet dead.

After doing all this, the cavalry were even very caring and kind, full of humanitarian spirit.All the corpses were tied together, pulled together by several war horses, and these corpses were dragged into a pit dug in the wilderness at some time.

Finally, the cavalry speeded up and disappeared into the wilderness, out of sight of Pei Benzhi on the top of the city.

Everything happened too suddenly, the killing happened so abruptly, and ended so unexpectedly.

Pei Benzhi was still at a loss as to who those people were and where those cavalrymen came from.

Looking at the empty city, Zhu Shangbing sneered, "Uncle Fang, you are my Zhuge of Ming Dynasty."

Pei Benzhi suddenly shuddered, and he turned his head to look at the son of Qin who had killed thousands of people in Kaifeng City a few days ago.

This person seems simple and honest, but now that he really understands, he feels how shocking he is.

Pei Benzhi was having a hard time adapting, turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi: "Your Highness, are those spies sent by the traitors?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded, and looked at the Jin Yiwei who had rushed to the top of the city earlier.

The leader immediately clasped his fists and said, "His Royal Highness, the rebels are being forced to Kaifeng somewhere in Henan Province. There are reports from Duke Liang and the Marquis of Xiping. Some rebels are cautious and try to escape, but they are all arrested. Siege and exterminate."

Zhu Yunxi hummed.

Now the military strategy of the entire Henan Province is to close the door and beat the dog, using Kaifeng City as the final battlefield.

Zhu Gaochi on the side asked, "How is the situation of the rebels in the direction of Luoyang City?"

The Jinyiwei officers and soldiers immediately replied: "The soldiers and horses of the Dusi yamen pretended to join the army and horses of Liang Guogong, and they went around the east and south sides of Luoyang City, and then converged to the west. The east side was vacant. Worried about our army setting up an ambush."

As he said that, the Jinyiwei officer turned his head and glanced outside the city. It turned out that a killing broke out in the wilderness.

He continued: "Although we haven't verified it, the subordinates believe that these people today are probably military spies from Luoyang City."

Pei Benzhi also recovered from the previous shock at this moment, came up and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the rebels in Luoyang City are testing, and the current situation is not clear to them, so they will send troops and horses again and again Spy."

Zhu Shangbing came from behind and patted Pei Benzhi on the shoulder: "It's all obvious. These people are doing business with their heads hanging. If it weren't for General Lan's refusing to surrender, it would be terrifying..."

The rebellion has changed from a bargain to a life-and-death fight, and the rebels in the direction of Luoyang City are naturally cautious.

Even though the rebellion in Henan Province and Shandong Province is raging now, the imperial court has enough space and time to tolerate one or two defeats in countering the rebellion.But the rebels of the two ways can't, as long as they lose once, they will lose completely, and they will have nothing.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and said: "Decree, all rebels, thieves, soldiers and horse spies who approach Kaifeng City with the intention of spying on Kaifeng's military situation will be killed and no one will be left alive."

Several Jin Yiwei who came to report the news immediately took orders and left.

Zhu Yunxi stared silently at the wilderness outside the west wall of Kaifeng City.

In Kaifeng City, he wanted to create a scene of panic and panic for the rebels on Henan Road.Let these rebel thieves who are still testing and unwilling to make a final desperate fight can make up their minds to come to Kaifeng City.

Zhu Yunxi is thinking about the future of Henan Province.

Zhu Shangbing pulled Pei Benzhi out of the city gate: "Pei Fangbo, in my opinion, the Henan rebels can't wait any longer. The longer the time, the more prepared the court will be, and the less chance they will have. In a few days, they are likely to come to Kaifeng City."

Pei Benzhi nodded: "Your Majesty thinks the same way, so Your Highness..."

Pei Benzhi carefully turned his head to look at Zhu Yunxi who was standing in the city gate and started discussing with Zhu Gaochi about the reform of Henan Province.

Obviously, Pei Benzhi was still worried that Kaifeng City, where His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun left alone with only a few thousand Yulin Youwei hiding, was too unsafe.

Zhu Shangbing snorted twice: "You don't have to worry about Brother Xie's affairs. None of us can persuade him to do what he wants to do. I just want to talk about your affairs, Fangbo Pei..."

Zhu Shangbing, who was talking, looked up and down Pei Benzhi with ambiguous eyes.

It's like the old bustard in the hook bar, looking at the girl who is up for sale, so as to find out how much the girl is worth and how much it can be sold for.

Pei Benzhi was a little disturbed by the sight, and his perception of this Prince Qin's change in recent days had been quietly erased.

He cupped his hands and said: "If you have anything you want to say, just tell your servants."

Zhu Shangbing immediately patted Pei Benzhi on the shoulder: "I know that Pei Fangbo is the most outspoken person, and on the day when the rebels in Henan Province besiege Kaifeng City, Pei Fangbo must play a song for those rebels at the top of the city. "

"Play a piece of what?"

"Play a song that breaks your heart."

……

A few more days.

The rebels, thieves, soldiers, and horse spies around Kaifeng City appeared more and more frequently, and Kaifeng City also showed a look of urgency, as if it was hiding some secrets for fear of being known by others.

Finally, when the rebels from Henan Mansion, Runing Mansion, Xuzhou Mansion, Weihui Mansion and other places began to gather, and the military newspapers coming towards Kaifeng Mansion entered Kaifeng City one after another, everyone was worried. It fell down.

And the whole city of Kaifeng was running at full speed.

The survivors, who were too scared to sleep at night, exhausted their power, and some even demolished the unused houses in order to send all the bricks, stones and wood to the city wall.

The whole city, young and old, and under the leadership of the new third division of Henan Province and the officials of various yamen, made preparations with all their strength to resist the arrival of the rebels.

When those officials in green robes, green robes, and even big red robes appeared in person in front of the people of Kaifeng City and led them to do the same thing, the hearts of the people quietly settled down.

What the people think is very simple.

Since the officials and gentlemen are all in the city and have not escaped, they naturally have nothing to fear.

To die, it was these officials who were beheaded by the rebels first.

Just like the people whose heads had been beheaded in the Xicheng Supervisory School a few days ago.

……

Outside Kaifeng City, in the wilderness between Lanyang County and Chenliu County, the silt caused by the original flood has long been cleaned up, and new crops are growing vigorously in the fields.

Zhu Yunxi, who was wearing an indigo dress, was supported by Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing, one on the left and one on the right, and under the guard of a group of brocade-clothed guards, he was on his way towards Qi County.

"You shouldn't have dragged me out of town."

Zhu Yunxi was quite helpless, even though he knew that he couldn't really stay in Kaifeng City all the time, this group of people would definitely try their best to make Kaifeng City a place of death for him.

But he never thought that this group of people would tie him up and send him out of the city before he woke up.

And he had been prepared for a long time, but he was bypassed by this group of people.

Zhu Yunxie glanced at the crowd around him, and seeing no sign of Yutian, he knew that the guards around him and Yutian's gang were probably hidden in Kaifeng City at this time, and perhaps they were already anxiously looking for him.

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing turned a deaf ear and just walked forward under the protection of many Jin Yiwei.

Zhang Hui said in a deep voice at the side: "Your Highness, I am afraid that if you are close to Kaifeng City, you will easily attract the attention of rebels, thieves, soldiers and horse spies, so put the horses not far in front, and they are about to arrive. Your Highness condescends, It’s just a few steps away.”

Zhu Yunxi was quite helpless, looking behind him, he could only see a 'courtyard with low walls'.

That is the distant city of Kaifeng.

"Let go of me first!" Zhu Yunxi sank, grasped his heels firmly, and pressed his arms.

In addition to Zhu Shangbing, he can cope with it and stabilize his body.The little chubby who hadn't practiced before, but lost a lot of weight, would have fallen to the ground at this moment if his hands were not still holding on to Zhu Yunxie's body.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the tension on the faces of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing.

He could only chuckle lightly: "We are going in the direction of Qi County."

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing nodded again and again.

Zhu Yunxi then said: "The rebels on the side of Guide Mansion have long been wiped out by the Xuzhou Guards. The Chenzhou Mansion was also basically killed by Xiping Hou and the Beijing Army, but there are some leftovers. They all go to Cuiqiao Town, Tongxu County, and go straight to Kaifeng City. In two directions, one is free of rebels, and the other is not encountered by us. Is this the case?"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing still nodded.

Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh: "Then why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhu Shangbing glanced at Zhu Gaochi who was facing him, and then said in a low voice, "Marquis Xiping's Chinese army will be waiting for His Highness in the direction of Qi County."

"It's enough for him to follow the military strategy, why did he go to Qi County again?" Zhu Yunxi felt dizzy for a moment.

According to the original plan, Mu Ying was going to lead people to spread out in Chenzhou Mansion, and then press the rebels all the way to Kaifeng City in the north to oppress them.

At this time, Xiaohan said that Muying's Chinese army was waiting for him in Qi County, so they must have arrived in Qi County at this time.

Zhu Shangbing was a little hesitant, and he spoke after a while, "Xipinghou said...he said that it was your credit for calming down the Henan Road."

Seeing that Xiaohan finally told the truth, Zhu Yunxi's eyes sank for an instant, and his face was ashen.

Unprecedented.

For the first time, Zhu Yunxi burst into anger in front of Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing.

He snorted coldly on the spot, his eyes gloomy and uncertain: "You guys are messing around!"

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Shangbing immediately turned around in front of Zhu Yunxie, bowed and lowered their heads.

As for Zhang Hui, Tian Mai and others, they had already led others to kneel down.

Zhu Yunxi's forehead was full of blue veins, and he was angry and hated.

"Where are you going to put me here?"

"The city of Kaifeng is full of soldiers and civilians. It can be said that they all know that Gu is with Kaifeng!"

"However, for the sake of that last inch of merit, you will be alone in the hands of unkind, treacherous people?"

Zhu Gaochi raised his head and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

The truth is that, but who dares to really let the grandson of the Emperor Jian Guo of the Ming Dynasty in Kaifeng City, where there are only [-] forest guards and thousands of yamen guards who are not capable of fighting?
Zhu Yunxi let out a long sigh, really helpless: "Furthermore, for the sake of credit, he defended against the enemy alone with the subjects of Kaifeng. Wouldn't the credit be more abundant?",
