Chapter 51 Changes in the Situation
Zhu Yuanzhang put on his clothes and went out. He happened to hear that Shanhaiguan had been breached. The Jurchen army of 50,000 troops rushed towards Funing. Now the city was in chaos.
Upon hearing the news, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked: "What on earth is going on?"
The subordinates explained immediately and were shocked when they heard that Mao Wenlong was assassinated and Dongjiang Town was captured by the Jurchens without bloodshed.
"What about the beggar?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked
"Not contacted yet!"
"We must use all means to contact him as soon as possible, so that we can know what is going on," Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
Yan Ning looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was escaping in a hurry and didn't pay attention, turned around and left.
Yuan Chonghuan received a tip that Dongjiang Town was missing. He was immediately furious, but he still held on and asked, "Where is Marshal Mao?"
"I heard that Marshal Mao has died for his country!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan immediately became depressed and sighed: "It's considered decent."
"grown ups!"
Looking at the panicked bodyguard, he reprimanded: "Why are you panicking?"
"Sir, Shanhaiguan has been breached by Jiannu, and Funing is in danger!"
"What!"
Yuan Chonghuan stood up and said, "Go to Funing!"
"grown ups."
The guard was a little worried, but before he could speak, Yuan Chonghuan immediately said: "Don't worry, I haven't fallen into a panic and fled."
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and walked out of the house to find Yan Ning and said, "We should leave!"
Yan Ning asked doubtfully: "Can't the Ming army stop them?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked in the direction of Changli County and said: "This time we will see what this so-called Governor Yuan will do!"
Yan Ning nodded and asked, "Where should we go after leaving here?"
"Shanhaiguan!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.
Yan Ning was a little confused, but suddenly thought that the Mongolian cavalry was about to enter the country. He immediately said: "I'll go back and prepare!"
The leaders, Lu Tu and Eri Bala, looked at the black smoke burning in the distance, looked at each other and said, "It seems that the Jurchens have begun to attack!"
"We need to speed up!"
The two men led 20,000 cavalry and galloped towards Shanhaiguan.
Erbeile on the Shanhaiguan Great Wall looked at the crowds of people fleeing below, and ordered his guards: "Order the troops not to be wary or greedy for property, and to attack Lulong County, the government office of Yongping Prefecture, as quickly as possible!"
"twitter!"
“What a spectacular view!”
Erbeile stood proudly on the gate of the city and murmured: "This Ming Dynasty is like this setting sun, and the world seems to be changing to a new ruler."
Dongjiang Town
Mao Wenlong fled the military camp and found an ordinary citizen's clothes halfway to put on. When he heard that the entire peninsula was announcing that he had died for his country, Mao Wenlong was furious, but there was nothing he could do at the moment.
Because Jin Bing has entered the border!
"Ouch!"
With a scream, Mao Wenlong looked at the beggar who collided with him. He had no intention of entangled with him, but turned around and left.
But the beggar said reluctantly: "Who is that? Did you know that you hit someone?"
Mao Wenlong's face turned cold and he drew his sword and said, "Then what do you want?"
The beggar pushed away the messy hair on his head, looked at Mao Wenlong and said, "I think it would be better for you to apologize to me."
"It's you!"
Mao Wenlong put away his sword, pulled Zhao Chengchu up and said, "Why are you here?"
"Begging for food"!
Zhao Chengchu agreed casually: "Thanks to Mr. Mao Mao, now I can go back to my old job!"
Mao Wenlong did not have Zhao Chengchu's optimistic attitude and was about to get up and leave.
Zhao Chengchu grabbed Mao Wenlong and said, "Sir, please stay!"
"Why, I don't have any leftover food for you," Mao Wenlong choked.
"Sir, now that we are all downgraded people in the world, no one should laugh at anyone else. Let's think about what we should do, right?"
"Aren't you from Governor Yuan? Why don't you ask for help?" Mao Wenlong asked.
Zhao Chengchu said helplessly: "Now that the Jurchens control the entrance to the sea, it is not easy to go back."
Mao Wenlong thought for a moment and said: "Now our subordinates all think that I have been assassinated by Governor Yuan. If I can get in touch with my subordinates, I should be able to control some people, and then we will have room for relaxation."
Zhao Chengchu immediately said: "So, sir, let's cooperate"!
"Boy, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about cooperation?" Mao Wenlong said with some disdain.
Zhao Chengchu pointed to another corner and said, "Come here!"
A beggar came over and said: "Gang leader!"
"How's the news for you guys?"
"We have found out clearly that General Shang Kexishang will go to Pi Island in the near future to meet with the Jurchen generals leading the army to discuss revenge for General Mao," the beggar replied.
Zhao Chengchu waved his hand and asked him to leave. Mao Wenlong said to Zhao Chengchu: "I really underestimate you, kid!"
Mao Wenlong immediately prepared to leave for Pi Island, but Zhao Chengchu stopped him and said: "If you wait until you get to Pi Island, I'm afraid it will be too late."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
Mao Wenlong was a little anxious and suddenly thought: "Then intercept him before he goes to Pi Island. The target will be Iron Mountain!"
Looking at Zhao Chengchu who was about to leave, Mao Wenlong immediately said: "Boy, let's cooperate!"
"Oh?" Zhao Chengchu said with a playful smile: "The famous Master Mao would actually ask me, a little beggar, to cooperate?"
Mao Wenlong sneered: "Then you can stay here! As long as you can hide forever."
"Why do you need to be angry, sir?"
The two began to plot in secret.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Ning walked against the flow of people towards Shanhaiguan. Some people along the way didn't understand why these two people couldn't think of seeking death. The group of killers killed everyone on sight, and now they were chasing them in the direction of their escape.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw the people fleeing. The people were going to suffer again.
Yan Ning suddenly said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I just received the news that the cavalry is coming!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face lit up when he heard this, and he asked again: "What about the court?"
"I heard that the imperial court has summoned 100,000 troops to march towards Funing County. It will take three days to arrive!"
Yuan Chonghuan sat on horseback and looked at the people who had begun to migrate. With a sad look on his face, he said to his guards: "We are strictly ordering all ministries not to disturb the people. Anyone who violates this rule will be killed!"
"yes!"
Looking at Funing County, which was just around the corner, Yuan Chonghuan asked with great energy: "Have you found out everything about the situation in Dongjiang Town?"
"Your Excellency! According to legend, after General Mao died for his country, there were rumors that you sent someone to collude with foreign enemies to kill him," the soldier replied cautiously.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Chonghuan's face turned red and he shouted angrily: "Fart!"
"Sir, please calm down. Now that Dongjiang has all fallen into the hands of the Jurchens, we have to guard against it!"
"Of course I know, but I don't have any troops, so what can I do to defend myself? When will the court's reinforcements arrive?"
The soldier hesitated, and when Yuan Chonghuan saw this, he sighed: "A bunch of rebellious officials and traitors, the safety of the country has reached such a state and they are still making their own little calculations. They really deserve to be killed!"
Dongjiang Town
On both sides of the Tieshan Valley, Mao Wenlong saw the cavalry below and nodded to Zhao Chengchu on the other side to start taking action.
