Chapter 21 Daming Is Saved

When the people in the lobby heard this, they were shocked immediately, and several civil servants turned pale with fright.

"Come on, close the gate of the city!" Sun Chengzong didn't panic, and immediately gave the order, then flicked his sleeves, strode out, and said at the same time: "All follow the old man to the top of the city to watch the formation!"

Ordinary armies rarely march overnight, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.Sun Chengzong was a little uncertain, but his years of military career kept him calm.

The other generals and civil servants were invisibly affected by seeing Ge Lao being so calm, and followed him out one after another.

When they first arrived at the top of the city, an imperial edict was shouted from outside the city.Surprised, it is better to be cautious, so Sun Chengzong asked someone to hang him up with a hanging basket.

Not long after, I saw an eunuch coming towards the watchtower cursing, and was led by the guard general to meet Sun Chengzong: "Look at you, it's King Qin's army coming from outside, what are you afraid of!"

In the blink of an eye, the eunuch appeared in the watchtower.When Sun Chengzong saw it, he was a little surprised and said: "Eunuch Liu, is it you?"

"It's impossible for our family to fake it, right?" The eunuch Liu asked a little sarcastically, and then said, "Mr. Sun Ge, accept the order!"

Sun Chengzong recognized him and knew that it was impossible to fake it, so he immediately took the lead to accept the order.

"... Be sure to follow this, and if you disobey, you will be punished severely, hereby!" Eunuch Liu closed the imperial decree after reading it up and down, looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, accept the decree!"

However, Sun Chengzong and the others stood there in shock, not responding to his words at all.

When Eunuch Liu saw this, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, with a trace of irony, and he felt a little proud: "Look, I knew they would be shocked."

He waited for a while, but before seeing any reaction from them, he raised his voice again, in a shrill voice: "Mr. Sun Ge, take... the order...!"

Until then, Sun Chengzong was called back to God.I saw that he didn't follow the rules at all, he stood up directly, stepped forward quickly, snatched the imperial edict, and immediately tested the authenticity of the imperial edict.

The civil servants and military generals behind him stood up, ignoring the official rules, and surrounded Sun Chengzong one after another, wanting to see the authenticity of the imperial decree at the first time!

After verifying that it was correct, Sun Chengzong still couldn't believe it. He handed the imperial decree to the governor of Baoding beside him, then stared at Eunuch Liu and asked loudly: "What's going on? Who gave His Majesty such an idea? This... This simply does not take His Majesty's safety seriously, if the capital makes a mistake, this person will definitely become a sinner through the ages!"

"Sun Ge, be careful!" Eunuch Liu actually understood why Sun Chengzong was so shocked, because he was also shocked when he first learned about it.

But at this time, he showed a calm look and said: "This is the policy decided by His Majesty. Otherwise, Jianlu cannot be attracted to fill up the city wall of the capital with his life. Otherwise, Jianlu cannot be expelled as soon as possible, and the capital of the capital can not be returned." The people of Daming here are in peace! For the details, here is an edict to elder Ge!"

After finishing speaking, he took out a relatively thick booklet from his pocket, and immediately handed it over with both hands.

Sun Chengzong was shocked again when he heard it just now. He thought about it, but he didn't expect that this matter turned out to be a strategy set by Emperor Chongzhen himself.This is really too risky, what do those people in the court do for food, they don't even know how to persuade them?
After hearing the detailed instructions, he stopped talking, angrily unfolded the booklet immediately, and read it carefully.

This time, the civil servants and generals around did not dare to look around again. After they verified the authenticity of the imperial decree, they were shocked in their hearts and stared at Elder Sun Ge one after another.

They found that Sun Chengzong's face changed from annoyance at the beginning to surprise, then shock, and finally...he seemed to be nodding slightly at the end, actually agreeing?

This time, they became even more curious.I don't know what was written in the details in the notebook, but it actually made Mr. Sun Ge change his attitude.

After reading it twice, Sun Chengzong finally closed the booklet, and then said with emotion: "I never thought that the emperor would become so bold during the troubled times of Ming Dynasty. I am convinced."

Speaking of this, he laughed again and said: "Jianlu is in trouble, and I, Ming, can be saved!"

He is almost a veteran of the four dynasties, and at the same time he is very familiar with Jianlu.He understood that the biggest enemy of Ming Dynasty was not Jianlu at all, but his colleagues within Ming Dynasty.

Now the emperor lured them to attack the city with the temptation that Jianlu could not refuse, and then made up his mind to let the wealthy households in the capital contribute money and efforts to jointly defend their home and country.If this is really achieved, how can it be possible to capture the capital just by relying on Jianlu!
Coupled with the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wild, as well as the disposal of grain and grain, rewards and punishments afterwards, etc., hehe, Jianlu will definitely not be able to please!However, the most important thing in this series of measures is that the emperor has great courage and determination to suppress all opposition forces in the court and use himself as a bait to implement them one after another.If the courtiers had proposed this policy, the emperor would have lost all success if he faltered a little.

"Elder Ge, what exactly does His Majesty want us to do?" Baoding Governor couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer and asked.The others were similar, and they asked questions in a hurry.

Eunuch Liu watched from the side, remembering their demeanor and words in his heart, and made up his mind that when he returned to the capital, he would describe it to the emperor, and the emperor would definitely be happy!

When Sun Chengzong was about to answer, he heard the noise from outside the city getting louder and louder. It was obvious that the army had already arrived outside the city.

He glanced at Eunuch Liu, then strode out suddenly, and said at the same time: "Go, go and have a look!"

Sun Chengzong naturally knew Hei Yunlong and other general soldiers who were leading outside the city. After comparing it with the imperial decree, he lost all his previous worries and seemed to be full of fighting spirit.

About an hour later, all the general soldiers who arrived in Tongzhou gathered in the lobby of Tongzhou Yamen, and only listened to Sun Chengzong's loud order: "All the cavalry belonging to the general soldiers from all walks of life should be thrown out to the old man. If you are looking for horses, try your best to strangle them, and you must shield Tongzhou as much as possible. Afterwards, the infantry and the people of Tongzhou will all rush to transport the grain. Everyone can get half of the grain transported. If the grain is not finished when the Jian captives are approaching, they will be set on fire. If there is any The grain has fallen into the hands of Jianlu, and you and other military law will do it!"

Amidst the shock and uproar, Sun Chengzong continued in a loud voice: "All the armies of King Qin are stationed in Tongzhou, threatening the capital's Jianren, so that they dare not attack the capital with all their strength. The contingency policy will be decided by Xie Jingchuan, governor of Baoding."

If it is possible, he actually wants to sit in command by himself.But the emperor's attitude towards Zu Dashou was very firm, he was afraid that Zu Dashou would not be able to turn around for a while, and it would be bad if he made a big mistake at that time.For this matter, he had to go in person and clarify the seriousness of the relationship in order to save Zu Dashou!
In the shock of these people below, Sun Chengzong announced the details of the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness, and sent people to the surrounding cities to convey this order.

That night, Tongzhou had no sleep.No matter the officials or the people, they were all shocked by the courage of the emperor. Some cursed the madman secretly, but most of them were convinced. With such courage, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, who else can do it except Taizu Taizong?

However, Emperor Ming, who was in the center of public opinion in Tongzhou, was having troubles.
