Wang Quanyou has a full understanding of the behavior of the imperial soldiers.
He has been doing business abroad all year round and is very familiar with this group of bandits wearing imperial military uniforms. Now that these people have been killed and their faces broken, they may be treated even more cruelly.
He would never stop and let the people in the city go so easily.
Something more terrifying will inevitably happen next, so you must find a way to hide and not be discovered.
All the valuables and valuables at home were left outside, and the servants were also separated in the chaos. They had no protection and could only choose to hide at home.
"We can't go out, we can't go anywhere, and we can't live openly at home. We have to hide. Let me see... the cellar! Yes! It's the cellar where the wine is stored! Lao Wang, come with me, help me, let's do it Order food and drink to be delivered to the cellar!”
"oh!"
Old Wangtou was Wang Quanyou's old servant for many years, and he accepted Wang Quanyou's order reflexively.
Wang Quanyou looked at Li again.
"Send the children to the cellar first, then get some bedding and clothes and throw them in. Throw in any other things you need to live in, as well as candles. Throw more candles in, and then go in and wait for us. ,be quick!"
With that said, Wang Quanyou took Lao Wangtou to carry food and water.
Fortunately, Xinrou was taken away at home, but the basic daily necessities were still there. Lao Wangtou had just baked a lot of flatbreads and steamed a lot of steamed buns to eat as dry food. Wang Quanyou was overjoyed and joined forces with Lao Wangtou to move the food. Arrived in the cellar.
Then everything else in the kitchen was moved in, no matter whether it was cooked or raw. The two of them also worked together to move two jars of water and sent it to the cellar - you can't just live by drinking, right?
Everything was ready, Wang Quanyou rearranged the woodshed where the wine cellar was hidden, and hid in the wine cellar himself.
The Wang family just hid in the cellar and did not dare to come out. They ate, drank, and had sex in the wine cellar. Fortunately, the wine cellar was large and spacious enough, and it also had hidden ventilation holes. It was not impossible to use it as a temporary shelter in times of danger. .
Wang Quanyou was somewhat cautious. When he was digging a cellar at home in his early years, he thought it could be used as a temporary shelter. As a businessman, his instinct for crisis led him to do something that seemed unnecessary at the time.
But it was this [unnecessary move] that gave the current Wang family an opportunity to survive.
However, not everyone has a sense of crisis like Wang Quanyou and is good at crisis management. Most people either don't have the conditions or didn't expect it, so they still live step by step until they encounter the Chang'an crisis.
Under Tu Dan Hexi's order to spare no effort, the Chang'an garrison carried out indiscriminate killings of Jurchen dignitaries and Han dignitaries who attacked the city gate. The city gate was stained with blood, and a large number of dignitaries who used to show off their power were killed by the army.
They were either decapitated, split in two, or stabbed through the body.
It was not until the last moment of their lives that they realized that the most fundamental source of human dominance is force.
The soldiers in the city can be regarded as "feeling proud", and finally they no longer need to suffer from such nonsense.
Their resentment was vented.
The order in Chang'an City was quickly stabilized under the suppression of force. Everyone returned to their homes in accordance with the army's requirements and did not dare to run around. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale and trembled. Soon, the entire Chang'an City It's as quiet as a ghost town.
But all this was not over. The powerful people in Chang'an City did not realize that their good days were gone forever.
The grassroots soldiers in the army are themselves oppressed and exploited by the officers. The harsh living environment in the army makes their resentment extremely huge. Once vented, they cannot stop the car at all.
Tu Dan Hexi didn't even think about putting the brakes on the situation. He took advantage of the army's inability to control their grievances and issued further orders, requiring all men in the city to participate in the defense and to gather all the materials in the city to defend the city.
He wanted to gather all the manpower and material resources in the city together, so no one was allowed to hide anything that would be helpful in defending the city, including anything that could be eaten.
When the Liberation Army was still two hours away from Chang'an City, Tu Dan Hexi gave an order, and the Jurchen soldiers roared into every household in Chang'an City, plundering them thoroughly and taking out all the available items. All supplies are "concentrated".
Especially food and money, all concentrated.
As for the others, whether they are useful or not depends entirely on the personal "judgment" of the military.
This made the army particularly excited.
Although they had started looting and killing on different scales without Tu Dan Hexi's order, Tu Dan Hexi's order undoubtedly made this behavior reasonable.
Tu Dan Hexi helped them take the blame.
This kind of good thing can only come by chance but cannot be sought. Once it happens, why not vent and plunder with all your life?
What excites them even more is that Tu Dan Hexi did not allow them to plunder those powerful and wealthy people in the past. Those people were so rich that in the past, the soldiers could only look at them and drool, but now they don't. Same.
As a result, this group of people became the focus of plunder by the soldiers.
The soldiers who had been captured and signed were reinforcing the city defense, and the regular soldiers were roaring and looting.
The residents in the city were brutally robbed, crying and crying for help, and they could only watch helplessly as their wealth was deprived of all their wealth in a short period of time.
Not to mention, some soldiers took a fancy to some good-looking female relatives and insisted that they were also "materials for defending the city." So they carried these female relatives and ran away laughing, ignoring the obstacles of their families and the cries of the female relatives.
Zhang Xiu, Tu Dan Hexi's general, couldn't stand it anymore and risked his life to seek an audience with Tu Dan Hexi. He asked Tu Dan Hexi to restrain the soldiers' behavior and not to indulge them too much, otherwise it would easily lead to civil strife in the city.
Tudan Hexi took a deep breath and shook his head.
"The Liberation Army is about to arrive in Chang'an City. Everyone is afraid. Most people are afraid. Aren't the soldiers afraid? I have no other way to appease them. I can only let them indulge themselves and vent their fear."
Zhang Xiu was stunned.
"When they have vented their anger, they will have the motivation and morale to continue to resist. Only in this way can Chang'an resist. If not, Chang'an City will fall in three days at most, and you and I will die without a burial place!"
Tu Dan Hexi waved his hand: "The reinforcements are in Fengxiang Mansion. It will take at least seven or eight days to reach Chang'an. During this time, we must hold on to wait for the reinforcements, so there is no need to say anything and go to defend the city." Bar!"
Tu Dan Hexi drove Zhang Xiu away.
Zhang Xiu's heart was filled with shock, and after the shock, she was filled with doubts.
When things have reached this point, what's the point of guarding Chang'an?
Tongguan is gone, Daqing Pass is most likely gone, and the fall of Guanzhong is just around the corner. At this moment, what's the point of guarding Chang'an?
Even if the reinforcements could still come, Tu Dan Hexi really didn't know what the reinforcements were.
Those things can defeat the Liberation Army, which the main Jin Army cannot defeat?
Zhang Xiu fell into confusion.
Zhang Xiu was confused, but the Liberation Army was not confused at all.
Yuan Xiantong led the vanguard and quickly arrived at Chang'an City, and took the lead in blocking the roads leading to the four directions from Chang'an City, trapping Chang'an City.
After Zhou Zhi arrived with the remaining troops, he began to build forts for the army to live in and prepare to attack the city.
Then, Zhang Yuejing also came. He took full charge of the attack on Chang'an City and ordered the city to be surrounded on all sides. A large number of siege equipment was placed on each side, and a large number of firearms were prepared to launch an attack at any time.
It was the eighth day of June, and the Jin army was still in the city, under the banner of collecting strategic materials, and was confiscating homes and exterminating families. The more wealthy families were, the more they were taken care of by these big-headed soldiers.
In the past, the unattainable nobles begged for mercy in humiliation under the threat of their steel knives. This kind of pleasure made the Jin army in the city even forget the fear brought to them by the siege of the city by the Liberation Army.
On the tenth day of June, before the general offensive was launched, Zhang Yuejing wrote a letter of persuasion to Tu Dan Hexi in the city, persuading him to surrender and ensuring that he would not die.
Tu Dan Hexi sneered and tore up Zhang Yuejing's letter and wrote a reply to Zhang Yuejing himself, telling Zhang Yuejing not to think about anything. He would rather die than surrender and fight if he wants!
Zhang Yuejing was furious and ordered the entire army to launch a general attack.
