The arrival of these people and the spread of panic news was tantamount to a nuclear bomb warning to the residents of Lin'an City.
He kept saying "The thieves are coming," with a loud voice, extremely high decibels, and extremely contagious.
What's even more helpless is that the spread of rumors is always very outrageous. They are clearly saying that the rebel army is "coming" to Lin'an, not that the rebel army has already arrived in Lin'an, but as word spreads, it becomes that the rebel army "has" arrived at the city. .
Good guy, this was a bluff to the residents of Lin'an City. The frightening memories of the Ming army's siege suddenly came to mind. The feeling of always worrying about the terrifying boulders and firearms falling from the sky and taking their lives came back.
What are you waiting for?
They didn't care about that much anymore. They just took care of him and immediately took their family and Xinruan to run.
Lin'an City turned into a mess.
I don't know how many people immediately packed up their belongings after learning that the peasant army was about to attack Lin'an, and fled Lin'an City with their families and fled further east.
There were ordinary people, well-informed businessmen, and petty officials who were frightened. Anyway, many people were so frightened that they ran out of Lin'an City and fled for their lives.
They didn't care about anything else, they just wanted to leave Lin'an City immediately before the "thief army" entered Lin'an City and killed everyone.
The news from the Lin'an court was relatively lagging behind because there was no formal channel to tell them what was going on. When the private news reached the court, there was already chaos in Lin'an city.
The high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the imperial court were horrified. Emperor Zhao Xun was horrified, and the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou was so frightened that he almost lost control.
Leaving aside others, Zhao Gou is definitely an expert at escaping, the number one escape champion in the world.
What? People in Lin'an started to flee?
What a joke! How could someone run ahead of me!
On escaping! I am second, who dares to say that he is first?
In this regard, Zhao Gou is very professional.
He immediately mobilized his trusted eunuchs to take care of his soft goods and many properties, thinking that even if he ran away, his quality of life would not be reduced.
Then he quickly sent an order to Yang Cunzhong, asking Yang Cunzhong to immediately mobilize the remaining 20,000 imperial guards in front of the palace to protect him and escape to the southeast, as fast as possible.
As the Supreme Emperor and a professional escape runner, Zhao Gou would never allow anyone to run ahead of him or run faster than him.
When Zhao Min just realized what happened, the news of Zhao Gou's escape was also sent.
Not only that, the news that the palace commander Yang Cunzhong had mobilized 20,000 forbidden troops to prepare for action was also sent.
Zhao Hao was frightened and remained motionless for a while. Only when Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi were about to yell in a hurry did Zhao Hao react.
"Stop the Emperor and the Forbidden Army! They can't leave! They can't leave! If they leave, there will be no army left in Lin'an!"
After the Guards Infantry Division and Guards Ma Junsi went on an expedition, Shi Hao urgently recruited more than 8,000 Forbidden Army recruits for Zhao Hao and sent them to the Guards Infantry Division as his security guarantee. This was the last direct subordinate Zhao Hao could control at present. force.
The incident happened suddenly, and he had no time to mobilize other troops to come to Lin'an. If the army in front of the palace left, Lin'an would be like an undefended empty city.
Without knowing how many enemies are coming, this is tantamount to committing suicide.
Zhao Min was so angry that he took the lead himself without waiting for others to act.
He rushed directly to the headquarters of the Dianqian Division and directly blocked Yang Cunzhong.
Yang Cunzhong, who was dressed in military uniform, looked anxious. He was surprised when he saw Emperor Zhao Xun coming, and then saluted to the emperor with an embarrassed look.
"Where is Shuai Yang going?"
Zhao Xi, who looked pale, stepped forward and helped Yang Cunzhong up.
Yang Cunzhong said with some embarrassment: "According to the order of the Emperor, we mobilized the Imperial Guards in front of the palace to follow the Emperor to hunt east."
"Dong Shou?"
Zhao Yu felt ridiculous and hurriedly said: "Yang Shuai, you can't leave, and neither can the front secretary. If you leave, Lin'an will be like an empty city!"
Of course, Yang Cun was unwilling to leave Lin'an. He was beaten to the capital city twice by enemy troops. It was a shame among humiliations. He couldn't bear it. He wanted to stay and defend the city, fight to the death with the peasant army, and maintain the dignity of the Song Dynasty. .
However, Zhao Gou didn't want dignity and life, so he insisted on leaving.
As Zhao Gou's most trusted general, Yang Cunzhong was unwilling to disobey Zhao Gou's orders under any circumstances.
"The Emperor has an order that I... must leave. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Yang Cunzhong said helplessly.
Zhao Min was heartbroken and stood directly in front of Yang Cunzhong.
"You can't leave. If you want to leave, just draw your sword, kill me, and step over my body. That way, you can leave."
Yang Cunzhong was shocked, and the generals around him were also shocked. They never expected that the emperor would say such a thing.
So they bowed their heads and saluted, expressing their daring.
Even so, Yang Cunzhong still decided to leave. If he didn't leave, it would be impossible. If he didn't leave, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou would be anxious.
Then Zhao Min blocked Yang Cunzhong and refused to let him go. Yang Cunzhong could neither advance nor retreat. The situation was very embarrassing for a time.
Until Zhao Gou rushed over angrily to question Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun still refused to let him go and allowed Zhao Gou to utter vulgar words.
He didn't talk back, but he wouldn't get out of the way.
Zhao Gou was finally angry and drew his sword to kill Zhao Hao. Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi were scared to death, and Yang Cunzhong turned pale with fright. The three of them immediately rushed to stop Zhao Gou to prevent this crazy old guy from actually killing Zhao Hao. .
"I think you just want to kill me! You just want to kill me, don't you!"
"It's the Emperor who wants to kill me!"
"Shit! You are the one who wants to kill me! Bastard! Unfilial son!"
"Don't dare! But the emperor wants to kill me! He wants to kill the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
The two of them talked to each other, which meant that there were not many people here, otherwise the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two emperors would really make people's eyes break.
In the end, Zhao Hao and Zhao Gou reluctantly reached an agreement after the three people's painstaking persuasion.
Yang Cunzhong led 10,000 people to follow Zhao Gou, while Yang Cunzhong's deputy general Yang Ci stayed with 10,000 people to defend the capital.
The matter was finally resolved, and Zhao Hao and Zhao Gou completely broke up with each other, ignoring each other and only caring about their own safety.
Because the news came so suddenly, Zhao Hao was too busy to take care of it. After waiting for the army to arrive, he calmed down a little. After thinking about it for a while, he felt that the rebels could not appear under Lin'an City.
Within two years, enemy troops came to the capital twice. How humiliating was this for the Song Dynasty court?
To the people of the world, how incompetent was the Song Dynasty court?
What kind of waste was he, the emperor, in the eyes of the officials and people of the Song Dynasty?
Can he still sit on the throne and give orders?
"If the thieves are allowed to enter Lin'an City again, I, the emperor, will probably come to an end! No, we must stop them! We cannot let them come to Lin'an!"
Zhao Min felt that he had to send troops to attack, so he discussed with his ministers how to take the initiative to attack.
At this time, Ye Yiwen and Zhou Linzhi, including Yang Ci, did not support an attack. Instead, they advocated closing the city and defending the city first, and then inquiring about the enemy's news.
Yang Ci was relatively calm and had some thoughts on this unexpected situation.
"The rebels came to Lin'an from Jiangnan West Road, almost a thousand miles away. How did they do it? And there was news in Jinhua County that they were attacked by the rebels, but after that, there was no news about the rebels, and then suddenly Appearing in Lin'an, what's going on? I think this is very strange and should send someone to investigate."
However, Zhao Min had lost his normal thinking ability in extreme panic.
He stubbornly believed that the investigation was unnecessary, and that he must take the initiative to show the imperial style of the Song Dynasty, so as to restore his dignity and avoid losing face too much.
"Taking the initiative is also investigating!"
