At this time, outside the distant Shuntian Mansion, there was a moat more than 40 meters wide in front of the more than 20-meter city wall. It followed the city wall and stretched across the periphery of the capital like an insurmountable sky.
At this time, on the tall city wall of the capital, a group of royal guards walked up, surrounded by a young man wearing a black dragon robe.
He stood in the middle of the tower and looked into the distance. He saw densely packed white tents of the Lawa people around the distant forest.
"Your Majesty, according to the urgent report from Mr. Chen Haiming of Jinzhou Jinyiwei Qianhu, a large number of Jurchen troops have been found in the Northeast accumulating outside Shanhaiguan, and there is a possibility of attacking the Ming Dynasty." A Jinyiwei general flag kneeled on the ground and reported.
"It's obvious. This group of Lawa people are surrounded and refused to attack. They are probably working with these Jurchens to plot the Ming Dynasty." Emperor Jing said this with a sad and angry expression. He had only been on the throne for a few months. If he really died, The country, in the history books, he is the last king who subjugated the country, and he will be laughed at and flogged by all Han people.
"Master Zhang, how is the formation of my Shenji Battalion?" the young man said to a middle-aged man wearing a red brocade robe next to him.
"The firecrackers shipped from Jiangxi have arrived in Hebei. The remaining sergeants of the original Shenji Battalion are training the 5,000 new recruits. However, another batch of firecrackers shipped from Zhejiang were intercepted and killed by Japanese pirates in the Gaoyou section of the canal. However, the subordinates I sent killed all the Japanese pirates on the spot and should arrive in the capital in two days. According to the reports of the transporters, it is very likely that someone leaked the secret." Mr. Zhang lowered his hands and reported, and he looked sideways. A eunuch leader next to him winked at himself.
"Who leaked it? Find out quickly for me. No matter who dares to be a traitor when the country is in crisis, I will destroy his nine tribes." Emperor Jing slapped the railing in front of him and said angrily.
When the surrounding officials heard this, they were all frightened and knelt down.
"Master Zhang, if there are spies in the capital, will the city gates be opened to them freely tomorrow?" Emperor Jing asked.
Zhang Bing's face changed with fright: "I am guilty."
"I order you to investigate all the people in the capital within three days. No matter how high the official position is, if there is any sign of communication with Lawa and the Jurchens, I will arrest them." Emperor Jing said.
"I obey the order." After Zhang Bing finished speaking, he quickly retreated.
Zhou Qian, a member of the Jinyiwei family who was walking beside him, immediately congratulated: "Sir, Your Majesty has given us such high power, can we take action now to clean up those eunuchs?"
"Except for the eunuchs, all the adults who were against us in the past will be listed on my list." Zhang Bing said.
Not long after this group of people left, Emperor Jing seemed to be really worried about his family and country. He glanced outside the city for a few times and then hurriedly ordered the convoy back to the city.
In another tent dozens of meters away from the emperor's tent, a handsome man in his twenties was sitting on a soft couch. The eunuch kneeling in front of him was trembling with fear.
"You bastard, my royal guards complained in front of His Majesty today, and now you tell me that the matter is broken." Eunuch Zhao's face was full of anger, and he wanted to throw the person in front of him out to feed the dogs.
"My father-in-law, calm down, things are really not what you think. You don't know that that day, the Japanese gang almost ambushed more than a thousand elites along the coast. They had originally killed more than a hundred Jin Yiwei on the ship, but that day A man suddenly appeared on the boat..." This person talked about what happened that day, his expression was still in fear. If he hadn't been on the height of the black ship on the left, he would have immediately opened fire when he saw something was wrong. The boat escaped, and he is probably dead now without any body parts.
"Have you thought that my father-in-law has been in the palace for a long time and dares to deceive me about ghosts and gods? Someone come and take Feng Fan out and chop it up and feed it to the dogs."
"Father-in-law, I really didn't deceive you. Several people traveling with me escaped. You can ask them." Feng Fan desperately wanted to explain.
Two strong men in black clothes beside him covered his mouth, one on the left and the other on the right, and escorted him outside. There was a piece of shit and urine on the ground.
Several other eunuchs in the car quickly lowered their heads, not daring to move for fear that the powerful Eunuch Zhao would kill them.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and change all the blankets in the car for us." He yelled, holding his head with his right hand, and it hurt. However, he was still angry, and one by one people who were returning from Jiangnan called out. Come and ask.
The result was almost exactly the same as Feng Fan's.
"Is this true?" He felt that things were not what he thought, but he still couldn't believe that such a person existed in the world. He remembered something and quickly shouted: "Come here."
A strong man who had just walked out came in and knelt in front of her: "Father-in-law."
"Did Feng Fan kill him?" Eunuch Zhao asked.
The strong man saw that his father-in-law looked very eager.
"Kill, father-in-law, you don't know how many dogs there are..."
He felt his head hurt even more and waved his hand to let him out.
. . . . . . .
This river is only ten meters wide, and has accumulated a large amount of water in the upper reaches. The turbulent river water flows down along the way, and a covered bridge hangs above the river water, and the entire body is made of black wooden blocks. The green hills on both sides are like a shade and wrap up this side.
And on this sparsely populated covered bridge, a young man and woman were riding a horse together. There was a small package hanging on the horse's neck. The horse's hoofs stepped on the covered bridge, making a creaking sound.
"After passing Wenxing Bridge and walking a few dozen miles, we will enter Hebei." Shen Jie said, holding a map in his right hand and holding the reins in his left hand.
"After crossing the bridge, leave quickly. Don't let that woman catch up." Zhuo'er hugged Shen Jie's waist tightly and glanced back.
She seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves in the distance. After crossing the covered bridge, she immediately asked Shen Jie to speed up.
This walk was another dozens of kilometers away. I saw smoke and dust billowing on this road that had not rained for a long time. Walking in front were a large number of northerners riding horse-drawn carriages with their families. In order to avoid the wind and dust, he controlled the horse to walk. In the grass next to the forest.
Zhuo'er looked at them with some curiosity, and the people in the car were also looking at the two of them. Some children wanted to say something, but the adults quickly covered their mouths, for fear of delaying the trip.
Shen Jie steered the horse up a high slope. Shen Jie saw that the endless road was full of people fleeing. These people were walking very fast, and in the distance, he saw a large number of iron hooves. Come.
