You can hear the needle drop in the quiet courtyard.

A few house sparrows landed on the wall, and the chirping of cicadas was endless, making it a bit noisy.

It was clearly midsummer, but Lin Wude felt like he had fallen into an ice cave.

"I wonder if this military household belongs to the imperial court or to you, Lin Wude?" Zhu Changzi asked coldly. In fact, he knew the actual situation of the Zhejiang Guards Station, but he never accused Lin Wude, just because the war was about to take care of it.

That’s all.

But now Lin Wude jumps out to go up against the cow, and he really doesn’t know whether to live or die.

"When you return to the prison country, you will naturally belong to the imperial court." Lin Wude knelt down and replied.

"Since it belongs to the imperial court, do you still need to comment on how to deal with it?" Zhu Changzi immediately scolded.

When everyone in the courtyard saw Zhu Changzi getting angry, they all fell down and did not dare to say a word.

Seeing the sword in Lin Wude's waist, Zhu Changzi stepped forward, slowly squatted in front of him, and asked softly: "How does Commander Lin's sword compare with my king's sword?"

Lin Wude, who had been pretending to be calm, suddenly lost control when he heard this, his teeth trembled slightly, and he replied with evasive eyes: "The general will not dare!!!"

Zhu Changzi stood up after hearing this, turned around and walked a few steps, and then said loudly: "Lin Wude, I will give you a chance to explain your matter clearly to the Governor's Yamen."

"General, I will obey your orders!" Lin Wude dared not say even half a word, he pressed his forehead tightly to the ground and said in admiration.

"Everyone, get up. Immediately disarm the city commanders and put them under strict supervision. Leave this matter to Xianzhi, who holds the king's decree. The royal guards are at your disposal," Zhu Changzi ordered.

There are more than 700 Cheng Cao troops in total, who take turns guarding various city gates on weekdays. If so many Tatars can be let in, some of them must have been bribed, so at critical times, they would rather kill them by mistake than let them go.

"I accept your order!" Lu Ruoteng was a neat man. After saying this, he was about to turn around and go out. At this time, Li Bao grabbed him, took out a token from his arms and handed it to him.

"Zhifu Zhang, if these Tatars can hide for so long without being discovered, I'm afraid the officials you accept may also have problems." Zhu Changzi said to Zhang Yinli.

"I understand, I will go back and investigate closely!" Zhang Yinli said with cupped hands. What he was worried about now was not just the problem of internal thieves, but whether there would be many such dens in the city. Once the Qing army began to attack the city, what if these people

If you create chaos in the city and cooperate with the Qing army inside and outside, you will be in big trouble.

The matter was of great importance, and Zhang Yinli became more and more anxious as he thought about it, so he hurriedly left.

At this time, only Ren Tianan was standing in the yard as if it had nothing to do with him, his head bowed submissively.

Zhu Changzi glanced at him, ignored him, and left with Li Bao.

......

Mafu front yard.

Suddenly, a young eunuch came, stood in the courtyard, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly: "The eunuch has an order. The chief minister, Ma Shiying, has recovered from his illness. He must return to the court immediately to manage the affairs. There must be no mistakes."

The three cabinet elders who were in the cabinet room were all stunned when they heard the news.

Huang Daozhou picked up the tea cup, took a slow sip, and looked at a memorial on the case.

This memorial was Ma Shiying's reply to Zhu Changzi. After he read it, he ordered someone to send the memorial to the cabinet.

The content of the memorial is about Ma Shiying's views on Duduo's letter, as well as some suggestions, and of course, a gorgeous expression of loyalty.

"I heard that many Tatars were discovered in the city. How did they discover it?" Gao Hongtu asked calmly while flipping through the book in his hand.

"What a coincidence, he is a little beggar newspaper official." Jiang Yueguang smiled slightly, put down the brush in his hand, and said.

"Beggars?" Gao Hongtu frowned. At this time, are there still beggars on the street?

"Yes, he is just a beggar. According to the patrol officer of the Hangzhou government office, he seems to have some mental problems and it is difficult to take care of him, so he is left alone." Jiang Yueguang explained.

While the two were talking, Ma Shiying walked in leisurely.

The three people stood up in a hurry to greet them.

"I am ill. You have worked hard during this period." Ma Shiying said with a smile.

"It's indeed hard work. Now that the chief assistant is back, let's invite the chief assistant to be a director." Huang Daozhou's salty voice sounded, and Ma Shiying's face suddenly froze, and he was very unhappy.

Gao Hongtu and Jiang Yueguang stopped talking and focused on their own affairs.

Seeing that she was asking for trouble, Ma Shiying shook her sleeves fiercely, snorted, and turned around to leave.

......

"Report! The Qing army has camped twenty miles away!"

"Report! The Qing army's forward is less than ten miles away!"

Under the city, news of the Qing army continued to circulate all night, and the news was like waves crashing into everyone's hearts.

Fang Guoan came to the city wall in person and looked into the distance from time to time.

Outside the gate of Genshan is a cluster of machine-spinning workshops. On weekdays, people rinse and refine silk at the river port outside, or silkworm farmers sell their own native silk here.

Slightly to the west is the Genshan Water Gate. The water of the East Canal enters from the Genshan Water Gate and crosses the Bazi Bridge to the south. Cargo ships come and go like a weaving, and the water flies on the water. It is a beautiful scene.

But when the iron hooves of the Qing army set foot on this land, all the beautiful scenery was like a dream. After waking up from the dream, there were ruins and ruins, and the smoke of war.

At the end of the line of sight, on the horizon, a black spot first appeared, and then countless others poured out from both sides, densely packed and boundless.

"Get ready to fight!" Fang Guoan shouted.

Soon after, 10,000 cavalry troops from Liu Liangzuo, the vanguard of the Qing army, came to the city. Their banners covered the sun and they made a huge noise.

In front of the army formation, the general at the head was none other than Liu Liangzuo. He had a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and a haggard face, but his pair of triangular eyes really revealed his shrewdness.

After King Fu was captured, he surrendered to the Qing army with 100,000 troops without hesitation.

While Liu Liangzuo was observing the defenders on the top of the city, he suddenly heard a voice coming from the top of the city.

"Huama Liu, don't think that I won't recognize you even if you change your vest!" Fang Guoan said loudly.

"Commander Fang, I'm here! You and I are old friends. Let's go to the city and talk about it!" Liu Liangzuo shouted at the top of his voice.

"Hahaha, Liu Liangzuo, you, a second minister, are worthy of being friends with me? Bah!"

"Rude! Fucking rude! Fang Guoan, I still have 40,000 troops behind me, and there are still more than 200,000 in Nanjing. Can you hold on to this little Hangzhou?"

Liu Liangzuo was riding on a variegated horse, pointing his hand behind him proudly. Today, Prince Yu ordered him to test the defense of Hangzhou first. Tomorrow, he will personally supervise the main force to come.

While Fang Guoan was observing the opponent's military formation, he gave orders to the generals around him without changing his expression.

Afterwards, the two of them exchanged words with each other, and their mouths were dry.

Liu Liangzuo's face turned red as he was choked, and he was about to order an attack on the city angrily when he heard a cannon fire from the top of the city, and was immediately thrown off his horse by the deputy general beside him.

The sound of wailing sounded, and Liu Liangzuo, who fell to the ground, pushed the deputy general away and looked angrily at the place where he was just now.

His beloved horse had turned into a lump of flesh, exuding a burning smell. A big hole was made on the ground, followed by a string of soldiers lying on the ground with either broken legs or arms, howling in pain.

The sound suddenly made the army noisy.

"Fang Guoan!!! Your special code is waiting!"
