Zhao Ning is a person who is unwilling to talk nonsense or do useless things.

When he goes to inspect the site, he must have a purpose.

For example, this time I went to inspect the site, not to worry about Zhang Shuye's deployment, but to pay for his salary.

That's right, he went to get a salary.

Because of the financial constraints of the imperial court, the imperial troops guarding the city have not been paid for several months.

People are just human. As a boss, if you don't pay your employees for a long time, no matter how loyal your employees are, they won't be able to handle it.

After all, every employee has a family behind him, and he has to support his family.

Raising a family is the real life of an adult!

A team of people escorted the money just moved out of the treasury and split up.

Zhao Ning went to the south gate to distribute money on the spot to encourage people.

People can be seen everywhere on the roadside, some holding wooden sticks, some holding kitchen knives, some pushing carts with some stones on them, and some holding long knives in their hands.

The order in front is a bit chaotic.

In a liquor store on the other side, someone could be heard crying: "We are finished! We can't win! Run for your lives!"

The man obviously drank too much.

The faces of some people around also showed confusion and worry.

"Where are you going to run now? The golden thieves have blocked the city!"

"Hasn't the imperial court already ordered a war? It also killed a high-ranking official who wanted to make peace. It seems that he was the governor of Kaifeng!"

"So what if I kill him? Can I kill the golden man?"

A desperate tone, a desperate atmosphere.

People miss the past Tokyo city. It was a peaceful era with no war. Even in winter, many people would come out to enjoy the snow and drink tea.

But now no one wants to enjoy the snow.

Even outside the bustling Donghua Gate in the past, the bustling brothels in Yemen were deserted.

Some people outside were walking quietly toward the tower. Some of them had been temporarily mobilized to provide support.

These people believed that they would be able to repel the Jin army and protect their homeland.

But you have to admit that the overall atmosphere is heavy in the face of a formidable enemy.

In addition, in the past few years, the Song army has been retreating steadily, and everyone has become numb to failure.

The concept of Jin people being invincible is deeply rooted in people's hearts, and people's expressions change when talking about Jin people.

Their biggest wish is to keep their home, and no one has the luxury of returning to their previous life.

Zhao Ning saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.

He also heard the desperate voices in the tavern.

He doesn't blame them.

They are just ordinary people, ordinary people who are easily discouraged when facing difficulties, let alone disasters.

Zhao Ning walked for a while, and the bustling city of Tokyo seemed to be completely gone. What was left was heaviness, depression and pain.

There was still light snow falling in the sky, and the clouds were low.

There were barking dogs and some noisy noises ahead.

Suddenly, someone shouted loudly: "We will definitely defeat the golden thief! We must defend our home! We must defend our home! For our children, we must fight to the end!"

"Defend your homeland!"

Suddenly, a childish voice came. Zhao Ning looked for the sound and saw a child sticking his head out of the house on the roadside and shouting loudly.

She was only about eight or nine years old, and she looked cute, but she blushed and shouted: "Defend our homeland!"

Zhao Ning felt a burst of emotion and relief in his heart, the common people can use it! The people's hearts can use it!

It's just that we haven't reached a united front yet.

After Qin Hui finishes the daily report, I will start writing articles in vernacular!

I want to tell everyone that we can defeat the Jin Army, but it will take a little more time. Everyone must stay calm and be patient.

If the people's support is available, it will be invincible!

This more or less dispelled Zhao Ning's anxiety.

After walking some distance, we were not far from the South City Gate.

Suddenly there was a burst of screams from the front, and several soldiers-looking people ran out of a room. A man rushed out from behind and cursed: "You are robbing my things, what are you doing? Go and fight if you can."

Gold thieves! You bunch of beasts!"

A boy about twelve years old rushed out quickly, hugged a soldier, and shouted loudly: "This is all our family's rations, what are you going to do! You have taken away what we eat!"

"Fuck you!" A soldier punched the boy. The boy felt pain, but did not let go. Instead, he bit the soldier's arm.

The soldier immediately screamed, and several others quickly gathered around and brutally pulled the boy away.

Then he punched and kicked the boy.

The father behind saw this and quickly rushed over to protect his child.

One of the soldiers yelled angrily while fighting: "We are fighting now. We are following orders from the imperial court to requisition food. We dare to disobey even the imperial court's orders. You don't want to live!"

Zhao Ning looked up and looked at the scene in front of him and the clothes the soldiers were wearing. Aren't they the Forbidden Army?

That's really the Forbidden Army!

The imperial guards in the late Northern Song Dynasty really had this virtue.

In other words, quite a few of the Forbidden Army are like this.

After the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the imperial army was basically abolished.

Of course, there are really good prospects, such as people like Jing Chao, but relatively speaking, there are not many of them.

There is a clear record in the history books that when the Jin Army besieged Tokyo City for the second time, some members of the imperial army did not guard the city and took advantage of the chaos to rob the people. They were no different from bandits.

When Zhao Ning saw such a scene, he immediately said angrily: "This is unreasonable! Jing Chao, take your people and arrest those people for me!"

"yes!"

It is really convenient to have people like Jing Chao now.

Gao Qiu asked him to do easy jobs such as collecting information and confiscating homes. After all, he was old.

Jing Chao led a dozen guardsmen, rushed over, and captured the sergeants.

One of them was still talking and laughing: "Hey, we are our own! We are our own! We are also the Forbidden Army! We are from the Infantry Division of the Guards!"

The Infantry Division of the Imperial Guards, one of the three yamen, also belongs to the Forbidden Army.

Jing Chao said harshly: "Shut up, everyone!"

At this time, Zhao Ning had already led someone over.

The number of people watching around gradually increased.

Zhao Ning got off his horse and walked to the injured boy, ready to help him up. The boy was obviously a little scared and shrank into his father's arms.

When the man saw Zhao Ning's clothes and the people who came with him, he knew that Zhao Ning was a big shot. He quickly picked up his son and took two steps back.

This feeling of being feared is actually unfamiliar and not good to people in the 21st century.

But he had to admit the fact that he was the emperor now, and it was reasonable for others to fear him.

"Are you okay?"

The boy shook his head sensibly: "It's okay."

He is only twelve years old. In the 21st century, he is almost in the first grade of junior high school?

It is the age when you are cared for by your parents and teachers.

He thought again of the girl he had just seen at the window.

When war comes, it is the common people who suffer in the end!

Zhao Ning touched his head and said with a smile: "You are very brave."

After saying that, he turned around and looked at the Forbidden Army soldiers. The smile on his face disappeared and became as gloomy as ice.

"This is your Majesty!"

When the guardsmen heard this, they quickly knelt on the ground, trembling all over, obviously frightened.

(When people other than Song Dynasty officials see the emperor, they can kneel down if they want to. If they don’t want to, they don’t have to kneel down. They have a high degree of freedom.)

They trembled and said: "See Your Majesty!"

"Who told you to rob people here?" Zhao Ning lowered his tone and said angrily.

There were eight people in total, and eight people robbed one family's belongings.

They hesitated, sweating on their foreheads.
