Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 49 Encountered Siege
"I let you out, and you must keep your promise to do things. Although you may not be completely exonerated, but if you perform well, I will definitely go to Lu County Magistrate to deal with you."

Qin Shao walked up to Wang Yin and said, then turned and left.

Wang Yin bowed directly to the ground.

In the following time, the entire Anlu Prefecture fell into a tense situation again.

The news that the thieves were going to attack the city again continued to spread in the city.

Qin Shao once again saw the scene where all the people were soldiers. From time to time, gray-haired people appeared among their strong squad.

This scene is much grander than the previous scenes of villages resisting refugees.

At that time, he was the leader and commanded well, but now he leads his strong subordinates like a grain of sand inside.

What they faced this time was not scattered refugees, but well-organized and murderous thieves.

Qin Shao got the news that after Liu San committed suicide, the Zhao Tunnel Department was also severely injured, and guards Chen Han and Zhang Tong surrendered one after another.

After Zhao Tun escaped, he shaved his hair and became a monk, intending to cross the river and enter Gan Province to make a comeback.

On the way to Jiangxia, he was captured by the Ming army and escorted to Shangjing.

Qin Shao couldn't help sighing when he heard this. He had learned this history when he was in school, so Zhao Tunnel would be sentenced to the cruelest punishment in Ming Dynasty: skinning!

Although the thieves led by Zhao Tun were wiped out, the large forces led by Liu Liu and Liu Qi were still active.

Although besieged by 10 Ming troops in Songqianpo, with more than 3000 casualties, the elite troops managed to break out of the encirclement and once invaded Hebei, not only defeating the Ming army, but also killed Wang Gao who participated in politics.

Seeing that the bandits threatened Shangjing, the main force of the Ming army moved to Beijing, and the bandits went south again, reaching the land along the Yangtze River.

The land of Huguang along the Yangtze River is also in a tense atmosphere.

Naturally, Anluzhou also started a state of full alert.

Two days ago, Lu Lianxian brought news that the situation was even more serious than expected.

In addition to guarding against thieves, Liao Mazi, a peasant uprising army in Sichuan, also rushed to the banks of the Yangtze River.

Lu Lianxian yelled at the old lady of Gao Chongxi, the governor of Sichuan, at the county government office. If spitting was useful, he probably wanted to drown her by spitting.

The reason was that the Sichuan Peasant Army led by Liao Mazi was so powerful that it exceeded 20. Governor Gao Chongxi was timid and ordered to open the city to welcome Liao Mazi's army into the city.

They were also given vacant land to live, produce, and be exempted from corvee.

But Liao Mazi was no longer the farmer who just wanted to survive. He had a huge appetite and ambition to become king. Not long after he settled in, he became ill and occupied Linjiang.

Although Peng Ze led the Miao army to encircle and suppress, and the two sides fought several times, now Liao Mazi has already approached Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is so close to Anlu Prefecture, if Peng Ze can't take it down, the surrounding cities will be unimaginable.

The situation was so chaotic, Qin Shao couldn't help but tense up.

Although he knew that Daming would not be exhausted at this time, he did not expect that under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, Daming had already begun to be so riddled with holes.

Coupled with the smoky atmosphere after the alchemy king Zhu Houcong came to power, Daming's country went downhill, and finally collapsed.

He is just a small person now, and he can't care about so many things.

Daming may not perish for the time being, but it doesn't mean that bandits won't attack Anlu Prefecture, and it doesn't mean that ordinary people will be safe and sound.

If Anlu Prefecture is compromised, they may also become dust of history.

Lu Lianxian has been running to the state government for the past few days to discuss strategies against the enemy.

Qin Shao also met the county magistrate Qin who sat in the office all day several times, but they pretended not to know each other and lived in peace.

That person used to ride a horse like a woman, but under the current situation, he gradually learned how to ride a horse.

It was so tense every day, and there was no news of the bandits attacking, and the tense mood in the city gradually relaxed.

On this day, Qin Shao took a leave of absence.

During this period of time, he was not free to patrol every day. He hadn't rested for many days, and he had to rest for a day today.

"Buy a few more bags of grain if you have time, and also stock up on vegetables, grains and oils. If the bandits really come to raid, the prices will definitely go up!"

During dinner at night, Qin Shao confessed.

Now in this Daming, he works at sunrise and rests at sunset, and Qin Shao has adapted to this rhythm of life.

It was just getting dark, and they were almost done with dinner.

"Don't worry, Lord! Miss Han took me to buy 3 shi of grain a few days ago, and she also stored a lot of cabbage and carrots in the cellar. Recently, she has been making pickles!"

The third son hurriedly replied.

"Well, well done!"

Qin Shao gave a thumbs up to the two of them.

"You don't have to worry about your family. It's already a famine year, and the grandmother at home ordered to buy food and store things. We have formed a habit!"

Han Jinrong smiled.

This is the difference in knowledge of people in different environments. Sometimes the reason why children from wealthy families are easy to succeed is that they are exposed to different environments, and their vision and crisis awareness are also different.

"Master! Why is there a fire outside?"

The third son suddenly asked, with surprise in his eyes.

Qin Shao suddenly looked up and found that the beacon tower on the side of Jingshan had been lit, and the fire was burning.

Looking from a distance, the beacon tower on the other side of the state government is also in the middle of raging fire.

The fire was so intense that thick smoke could be seen across the city.

With horror in his eyes, Qin Shao opened his mouth wide, and after a while he shouted to the third son and Han Jinrong: "The bandits are here!"

"what?"

The third son and Han Jinrong also shouted in surprise.

"I'm going to the county government! You shut the door tightly, unless I knock on the door and shout, no one is allowed to open it!"

Qin Shao got up and dressed, picked up the big knife on one side, and was ready to go.

"Grandpa, I'll go with you too!"

The third son said eagerly, picking up the new stick in his hand.

Qin Shao nodded after hesitating for a few seconds, and told Han Jinrong to lock the door, try to hide in the room as much as possible, and don't come out unless necessary.

The two took the guy out of the house in an instant.

As soon as he left the door, he saw Wang Yin running all the way, preparing to reach his door.

"Capital! Bandits raided, the county magistrate led all the government officials and soldiers out of the city to fight, let's quickly gather together!"

Wang Yin said.

He lived in the poor room of the Yamen, and he was the first to know the news, so he rushed all the way to report to Qin Shao.

Qin Shao greeted and ran towards the Yamen together.

There was chaos on the street, except for the militiamen and government servants, the residents rushed to their homes one after another.

For a moment, there was only fierce howling on the street.

Just as Qin Shao checked the crowd of his squad, Lu Lianxian came out wearing armor and holding his own sword, cursing.

His clothes were a little disheveled, and behind him was Qin Xiancheng, whose hat was askew and who was walking staggeringly.

After the counting of soldiers was completed, everyone rushed towards the gate of the city in a mighty manner!

The direction of Anlu Zhizhou has already commanded the troops at the top of the city to fight against the bandits below the city.

Qin Shao followed Lu Lianxian to the top of the city, and found that there were about 2000 people in the city.

It wasn't thieves and robbers who came, but part of the peasant army.

The main force was fighting with the garrison outside the city, and these people came to attack the city of Anluzhou.

If you want to capture the city, the main force can enter the city to fight against the Ming army.

There is not a large number of troops stationed in the city of Anlu Prefecture, except for King Xing's guard of honor, a small number of city guards and yamen servants. Although there are thousands of people in total, compared with the peasant army with combat experience, the advantage is not obvious.

"Master Zhizhou, I am willing to take soldiers out of the city to fight those thieves!"

Just as Lu Lianxian saw the direction of Zhizhou, he asked for his life directly.
