Chapter Five Hundred and Ninety Nine: Heavenly Soldiers Come to the World(1/2)
"The heavenly soldiers are here, the heavenly soldiers are here..."
News spread wildly.
For a moment, Nanjing City began to become vaguely confused.
Some are happy and some are sad.
Someone said happily: "The Palace of King Yi is coming down..."
It seems...for some people, His Highness Yi is like their savior.
Of course... the soldiers in the guards were frightened and worried.
What they were frightened was that the heavenly soldiers were coming soon and they were about to be destroyed.
What they were more worried about was that once the heavenly soldiers entered the city, they were afraid that everything would return to the same state.
This is something many military households are worried about.
In fact, when the Donglin Army entered the city, their lives had changed.
At least, the military pay is really not deducted, and the military fields are also preparing to measure and say they are going to be distributed.
Moreover, although the new students are strict, they do not abuse lynching and will definitely not beat and scold you randomly. If they really violate military orders, they will also punish them, but they are not the kind of person with a humiliating nature.
Speaking of which, many people are grateful to His Majesty and Governor Zhang.
After all, compared with the former commander and Tongzhi, Qianhu people are one in heaven and one in the earth.
But... they are really afraid.
Some people have already started to mutter words, saying all kinds of blessings and other words.
But... this kind of blessing is obviously ineffective.
Because in the eyes of many people, these gods and Buddhas are obviously not standing on the side of Nanjing City.
In recent years, with the support of King Yi and the indulgence of Fushe, the Yinxiang Sect had long preached in various prefectures and counties in Jiangnan.
This kind of morality is actually very much in the appetite of the military and civilians, and the military and civilians do need these things to numb themselves. In addition, the government's tacit approval, it naturally went surprisingly smoothly.
They claim to have millions of believers in Jiangnan.
Even some people are too poor to go hungry to try their best to take out their last savings and donate them to the Scented Sect.
The recruited heavenly soldiers are all strange people, and in short, they were born to do this.
This Nanjing city is already in chaos.
So a hundred households of the Right Guard stepped forward and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, Governor Zhang, this heavenly soldier is powerful, why don't we close the city gates quickly, maybe..."
Emperor Tianqi never expected that the people were so afraid of the heavenly soldiers. In addition, there were many people who were ill-hearted, who took the opportunity to make jealous rumors and cause trouble, which caused such consequences.
Emperor Tianqi looked at Zhang Jingyi.
Zhang Jingyi looked at Emperor Tianqi with firm eyes and said, "Your Majesty, go to fight!"
"Yeah. Go to the battle!" Emperor Tianqi did not hesitate anymore and said with a tense face: "Left Guard and Right Guard guard the city. I personally go out to supervise the battle. Zhang Qing, how many troops will be brought?"
"Three thousand people are enough." Zhang Jing said: "It is enough to leave the Jinyiwei and two thousand people here, plus the left and right guards, which is enough!"
After pausing, he continued, "I personally led the team to charge. Damn, I don't believe it anymore. This heavenly soldier of the Scented Sect can still confront me!"
So, a command was called.
With all kinds of rapid whistles, the Donglin Army began to assemble.
The most elite first teaching team, the second, third and sixth artillery teaching team, were heading out of the city at this time.
The artillery team had eighty cannons, so naturally they would not stay in the city.
Because of this battle, the enemies that were fought are a bit special.
At least it seems very special to many people.
Zhang Jingyi even thought to himself that the other party was defeated without fighting. It was obviously no longer an ordinary rioter. First, use the cannon and see... the effect!
The Donglin Army fought south and north, and with a lot of education, although they may not be sure whether there are any gods and Buddhas in this world, at least... they do not take the incense smelling sect seriously.
At this time, everyone was ready, fully armed, and out of the city with heavy loads, like a rushing flood.
Emperor Tianqi also rode a horse and took a team of personal soldiers out of Jinchuan Gate.
This Jinchuan Gate is a single-hole city gate with a gate voucher. There is a Jinchuan Bridge outside the door. There is a Jinchuan Gate culvert and a sluice on the east side to control the circulation of the moat and the inner and outer Jinchuan Rivers.
Because the terrain here is the flatest, although there are thirteen city gates in Nanjing, the defense here is the weakest, and the military horses suitable for siege are deployed. In all dynasties, if we want to seize Nanjing City, the military horses that siege cities tend to attack from this city gate.
However, Emperor Tianqi crossed the Jinchuan River by horse, but did not continue to move forward.
Zhang Jingyi did not allow him to follow the army and attack. Emperor Tianqi was well-behaved this time and knew that he could only watch the battle. Although he was eager to try, he still managed to resist his temperament.
Then... the three thousand Donglin Army began to unfold.
The artillery began to be arranged.
The first teaching team is the main attacker on the battlefield and is allowed to rest on the spot at this time.
Other teaching teams protect both wings.
Zhang Jingyi also rode a horse. When he arrived in front of the formation, he didn't need to say much. Today he sacrificed his hair, and the students are now full of grief and anger.
This is not an exaggeration at all. In the ancient concept, mentors are equal to kings and relatives, and even one day they are a teacher and a father for life.
Hair represents the body's skin. If a hair breaks, it is like a human head.
This means that Zhang Jingyi has been "dead" once.
My mentor was killed by these dogs, so how could it be? The revenge of killing my father is irreconcilable!
Therefore, in each teaching team, the students exchanged glances with each other, and the eyes were full of murderous intent. Although everyone said nothing, there was a meaning of slaughtering them later.
As for the damn heavenly soldiers and generals, many people actually believe that they have a mentality, and the spread is so mysterious. If you don’t feel nervous at all, it is naturally fake. However, at this point, everyone’s mind is pure. No matter who the fuck is, let’s decide the male and female!
…………
Sure enough... I saw a team coming in a fierce manner.
The size of this team is extremely large.
It was so black that it seemed that there was no end to see.
This suddenly... makes people suddenly change their color.
The fast horse arrived in a hurry, and the horse jumped down quickly, went directly to Zhang Jingyi, and said, "Mr....there are more than a few thousand 'sky soldiers' coming. The men and horses are so crowded that they can't see the end. The number of people is afraid of a hundred thousand."
Where did so many people come from?
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but be surprised. He subconsciously frowned and raised his telescope to take a closer look.
After looking at Lao Jiu, he sent a scout to his periphery to inquire.
The scout caught a man on the flank of the huge team.
This man looked like a commoner, and the dress of ordinary people was already scared. When he was picked up from his horse, he was trembling.
When he arrived in front of Zhang Jingyi, the man knelt down in panic and said, "I... are innocent, I am innocent."
Zhang Jingyi stared at the man and said, "Who is that?"
The man hurriedly said, "The villain from Liujia Village, Guangyang County, Ningguo Mansion..."
"What did you do from a thief?"
"The villain has not followed the thief." The man wailed: "I heard that the great wizard of the Scented Sect brought the heavenly soldiers and generals to attack Nanjing. Many people in the village... went to watch the fun, saying that they could sprinkle beans into soldiers and call the wind and rain... When the team passed by the county, I saw many fellow villagers around and watch it, so I followed them all the way, not to mention... they also provided food..."
Zhang Jingyi: “…”
Is this... the legendary onlookers?
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but feel relieved.
Do you actually have the courage to watch this kind of excitement?
However, after thinking about it carefully, many scenes in the late Qing Dynasty... seem to be able to understand them.
So Zhang Jing asked about the important matter again and again, and said, "How many people are there like you?"
The man said, "How can the villains be counted? Anyway... many people have joined along the way, some are from the incense smelling sect in various counties, and some are like this... I just want to see how to do it."
Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but want to scold him, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just said calmly: "It's dangerous here, hurry up and leave."
"Yes, yes." The man ran away like an amnesty.
The huge team, which was as powerful as a dark cloud, began to diverge.
Many onlookers saw the official army appearing in front of them, and they did not dare to step forward, so they stopped and looked from afar.
Another group of people came out, ranging from thousands or even tens of thousands. They were all wearing five-colored clothes and wearing various flags. Some wrote: Three periods of the end of the disaster. Another flag was written on the other side: Return to the origin.
Immediately afterwards, many people came rushing to carry several huge wooden Buddhas. The Buddha statue looked very strange, but there were flags next to it, and the words "Lan Lantern Buddha" were written: "Lan Lantern Buddha, or "Future Buddha" and so on.
Almost everyone does not look like fighting, because the soldiers who fight usually wear short clothes for the convenience of marching and fighting. After all, short clothes are convenient, but they wear wide clothes. The loose clothes have wide cuffs and are more casual. If they really want to go into battle... Zhang Jingyi can't understand how they can make sure they won't be tripped by their long sleeves.
The first team appeared, people wearing five-colored clothes came out together, and hundreds of people came out. Then, someone started playing the suona.
To be continued...
