"Where is the emperor's son in the pavilion now? The Yangtze River flows out of the threshold..."

The moon shadow of the flowers, the ice wheel hangs in the air, Zhu Changqing is sleeping without any intention, looking at the moon in front of the hall, murmurs.

"Your Highness, it's time to rest." Li Bao took a cloak and put it on Zhu Changqing's body, and said softly. There was still a little cold at night.

"Have all the people in the Jinyiwei Qianhu District in Hangzhou City finished running?" Zhu Changqing asked.

"Yes, Your Highness, almost all the original yamen have been gone, and the Salt Transport Department, Thousand Houses and Weaving Bureau are all empty." Li Bao replied.

Since Nanjing Kaicheng surrendered, the yamen in Jiangnan have fallen and scattered, running away, and fleeing. Few people have stood there. The county government offices are nine out of ten, just like Jiangyin County, all the officials have run away.

Zhu Changqing was thinking that this might not be a good thing, and it would be just a good thing to do without destruction or establishment, and it would give himself the space to display.

"I heard that the personal army had twenty-six guards in the upper ranks?" Zhu Changqing asked again. Emperor Shi was not very clear about the twenty-six guards of the Ming Dynasty. After all, at that time, the imperial guards were commanded by the Imperial Army, the Guard and the Lieutenant, and it was not that complicated.

Li Bao just thought that his highness had never cared about political affairs, so he briefly explained to Zhu Changqing.

After hearing the introduction, Zhu Changqing knew it in his heart, so he said to Li Bao: "Let's go and see the ten thousand royal palace guards."

Li Bao looked at the sky. It was already Hai time, but he knew that the Lu King now was different from the past. That was the nature of doing it.

After some preparation, Zhu Changqing led a team of guards to Fengshan Gate in the south of the city. The ten thousand soldiers were stationed at the foot of the mountain southwest of the city.

......

In Fengshan Gate, in addition to a small flag of the Chengcao Army, which was originally on duty, there are now more than 500 people from Fang Guo camping, led by a president.

At this time, at the city gate, some Min Zhuang was transporting rolling stones and wood and firearms to the top of the city. Another Min Zhuang was nervously strengthening Fengshan Water Gate.

Niu San, the small flag official, sat on a pile of bricks and stones used to repair the city walls, chewing a straw in his mouth. The fat jacket on his body was covered with a layer of leather armor, an old three-eyed gun on his back, and a lancet in his arms.

Several soldiers from the garrison were urging the civilians to work, and from time to time went up and scolded.

The soldiers of the Fang camp were all stationed under the city wall between Fengshan Gate and Houchao Gate. The generals who were responsible for guarding the two gates gathered in the camp to drink.

"We won't be dealt with by General Fang at this time, right?"

"It's time, I've all rested, it's okay to drink some."

One man was always hesitant, but looking at the wine on the table, he felt so greedy that he felt itchy. After a fierce ideological struggle, he picked up the wine bowl and started drinking it.

"Don't worry, if the Tartars really come, we can kill two more with the help of alcohol!"

"It won't be a problem to leave the city gate to those guards, right?"

"They are more professional than us, so anyone can see at a glance."

Now, the man-in-law no longer hesitated and started drinking happily.

At the city gate, a group of people came from the west. The young general was Fang Yuanke. He inspected the west wall and arrived at Fengshan Gate.

Niu San, who was sitting on the pile of bricks and stones, heard the sound of horse hooves, turned his head and looked at it, got up and patted his butt, ready to greet Shangguan.

"How is the reinforcement of the Water Gate?" Fang Yuanke rode on the horse and asked the small flag officer in front of him.

"Go back to the general, the work will be completed before dawn." Niu San replied with his hands.

Fang Yuanke nodded. The progress was pretty good. The water gate of Genshan Gate could be reinforced almost before dawn. This made it a little safer.

Looking around, he found that there were no soldiers from other camps. On the top of the city were all rebels from Sun Jiaji's troops, so he frowned and rode his horse toward the camp under the city wall in the distance with a cold face.

Fang Yuanke knew the problems of Fang Ying soldiers very well. It was fine. Now the Qing army may appear at any time. If you don’t have a twelve-spirit, you should really deal with it.

After Fang Yuanke left, Niu San looked up at the sky, then looked towards the main street, summoned a subordinate and whispered: "Light up the lantern!"

The subordinate nodded, looked around, and then hurriedly turned the lantern to the city tower.

On the city tower, a leader of the rebel army under Sun Jiaji stopped the guards, looked up and down, and said suspiciously: "What's going on in the city?"

The man from the garrison smiled and said, "We are about to change shifts, come to the city tower to register."

The leader of the rebel army did not understand the rules of the official army. After thinking about it, he seemed to be a common example, so he said, "Go."

On the corridor of the city walls, all the rebels on duty were wearing thin clothes and no armor. The weapons in their hands were even more diverse. However, there were many Folang machine cannons. They should have been sent to the city in the past two days, and they looked very new.

When we arrived at the city tower, there were two rebels on duty, one old and one young, sleeping soundly with each other, and the snoring sounds shook the sky.

The soldiers of the guards gently pushed open the door, and a pungent smell came to their faces. When they looked around, there were several big men lying on the ground, holding a jar of wine in their arms and talking nonsense.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the guards were overjoyed, so they tiptoed to the second floor and hung the lantern in their hands on the railing of the watchtower.

After waiting in place for a while, a faint light lit up on the dark waterway in the distance.

After the mission was completed, the guards hurriedly picked up the lanterns and returned the same way.

"Boss, here you come."

"Let your brothers be smarter, use money to do things, and don't work hard."

As soon as Niu San finished speaking, he heard a heart-wrenching wailing sound from afar, vaguely mixed with the sound of a whip breaking through the air.

Looking in the sound, I saw that it was the camp of the Fangying Guardians, and I couldn't help but sneer on my face.

At the end of the Hai hour, a carriage rushed towards Fengshan Gate.

The small flag official Niu San stopped him. He was about to check, but he saw the man who got out of the car wearing a robe. With the candlelight, Niu San saw clearly that a pair of pheasants were embroidered on the patch on the visitor's chest. He knew that this was the high-ranking official and hurriedly called everyone to pay homage.

Zhu Dadian looked at the small flag official in front of him and said, "This officer, Zhu Dadian, Minister of War, get up."

"I wonder if sir, do you have a token for the royal palace?" Niu San asked carefully.

Zhu Dadian waved his hand, followed by a guard and showed everyone the token of the Lu Wang Mansion.

Niu San hurriedly bowed his hand and stepped aside, stopping talking. He just looked at the guard holding the token, with a fair face and tender hands, not like a military man.

"I will see how this Shuimen cultivated."

"Sir, the work will be completed before dawn!"

Niu San replied respectfully, he was a little confused about why these high-ranking officials were so concerned about Fengshan Shuimen tonight. The Qing people who were the first to be hit by the Genshan Gate in the North City, and the south city gate should be a relatively safe area.

"Well, I'm going to take a look around, go and do your business." Zhu Dadian waved his hand as if nothing had happened.

Niu San glanced at the guard behind Zhu Dadian, then turned around and walked away.

Zhu Dadian walked to Zhonghe in a pretentious manner, looked at Minzhuang who was under construction, pondering for a while, nodding for a while, as if he was looking very seriously.

After a while, the defenders shouted at the top of the city: "Stop the ship quickly and reveal your identity!"

Niu San heard the sound and looked at his subordinates.

Zhu Dadian also heard the movement, his heart tightened and his breathing became rapid.
Chapter completed!
