Liuzhou City is located in the north-central part of Guangxi, adjacent to the Liujiang River.

After several wars, it was rebuilt in the twelfth year of Hongwu. It is different from the common square form of city building in the north, and also different from the strip or block planar city layout in the south of the Yangtze River. It is in an oval shape. The city wall is seven meters high and six meters thick.

It is a large and impregnable city.

There is a plaque above the east gate with the word "East Gate" and the inscription "Erected in April of the 14th year of Hongwu". At the top of the city is a majestic tower, like a tiger entrenched here.

"Let us in! Please let us in!"

First, a group of refugees were driven out of the city, and then they joined the refugees outside the city. More than a thousand refugees gathered in front of the east gate and made appeals together.

Facing this seven-meter high wall, it was naturally impossible to climb inside. They only hoped that the general at the top of the city would order the city gates to be opened and allow them to go to the city to visit relatives or beg.

With the arrival of this drought, the crops in the fields have no food output, and the place with the most abundant food stocks is naturally the city of Liuzhou, and the city is their hope for survival.

It's just that the reality is so cruel. They finally arrived at this rich city, but they were blocked from the city gate or kicked out of the city, which already ruined their hope of survival.

On top of the city tower, a general wearing light armor said impatiently: "Now the city gate is closed, please leave quickly, otherwise I will blame you for being rude!"

"Please let us in!"

"We haven't done anything bad in this city, have we?"

"Where else can we go in this situation?"

…

This group of ragged refugees looked up pitifully at the general at the top of the city and begged bitterly.

Looking at the surrounding areas, there is no place for them to survive. Only by staying in Liuzhou City and waiting for disaster relief food from the government can they have any hope of survival.

"Master Baihu, no!" A general saw Huang Chengsheng asking for a bow and arrow, and immediately tried to dissuade him.

Huang Chengsheng was from a hundred households in Liuzhou City and was responsible for guarding the east gate. However, he ignored the general's dissuasion and threatened the refugees below with his bow and arrow: "I don't care about your life or death, so hurry up and

Get out of here, or this general will shoot you!"

"This is really going to kill us!"

"Is it rare that there is no place for us in this world?"

"With such actions, no wonder Wei Yinbao's power is growing!"

…

More than a thousand refugees looked at the bow and arrow in the hand of Mr. Huang Baihu at the top of the city. They couldn't help but feel helpless in their hearts, and they also felt all kinds of resentment towards the government and Liuzhou Health.

It was at this time that a cavalry team came from far and near, heading here in a mighty manner.

When the refugees under the city saw the cavalry, they also took the initiative to give way and looked at the team curiously.

"Who is coming!"

Huang Chengsheng originally wanted to take this opportunity to practice archery, but when he saw this mighty cavalry, he asked in a deep voice loudly to the people who came to the city gate.

Lin Ping Ping came to the city gate, reined in his horse and announced his home address: "I am Lin Ping Ping, Nanyang patrol commander. I am here today to help with disaster relief. Please open the city gate!"

When the refugees below the city heard Lin Pingping's words, their eyes couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope, and they all looked at this heroic girl.

"Haha... If this general remembers correctly, there were no female officials in your Ming Dynasty, right?" Huang Chengsheng said in a joking tone when he saw Lin Ping Ping in front of the city gate.

Lin Ping Ping frowned slightly and asked seriously: "Aren't you a general of my Ming Dynasty?"

"Of course I am a general of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a hereditary guard of one hundred households in Liuzhou!" Huang Chengsheng realized that he had made a mistake and immediately explained.

Although the western part of Guangxi is where the chieftains are entrenched, and the four local prefects are all in the Jiangyou area of ​​Guangxi, not all of them in the east are established by official officials.

For example, in Liuzhou Prefecture, although the main officials here are all floating officials, there are more than 190 Tu Qian Hu, Tu Bai Hu, Tu Inspection and Tu Dian Shi households. In fact, floating officials and local officials coexist.

Of course, these local officials usually hold military positions, and they have little chance of promotion, but they are far inferior to the children of military generals like Qi Jiguang, who were born in hundreds of hereditary households.

Although Huang Chengsheng did not reach the level of chieftain, he was hereditary from Tubaihu. He had held the position of Baihu in Liuzhou for many years, and the soldiers under him were his absolute direct descendants.

"Lin Xun, please wait a moment. I will open the city gate for you right now!" Niu Dongsheng, the county magistrate of Maping County, used to be the boss of Qingyuan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, and had always paid attention to the movements in the officialdom, but at a glance

Recognizing that Lin Ping Ping's identity was correct, he first shouted something down, and then accused the soldiers of opening the city gate.

Huang Chengsheng had never cared about the affairs of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, he seemed surprised and asked: "Does the Ming Dynasty really have female officials?"

"The governor of Nanyang appointed by the emperor himself last year is the biological sister of Lin Haoran, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites at that time. Please open your eyes and see clearly!" Niu Dongsheng hurriedly explained, and hurried down the tower to greet Lin Pingping, the governor of Nanyang.

The city gate opened, and Huniu and her party came in, patting their horses.

"The Prime Minister of Maping County, Niu Dongsheng, comes to pay homage to the Inspector!" Ma Dongsheng faced Lin Ping Ping, but he performed the courtesy of lowering the official without any psychological hindrance.

"I will finally join the inspection tour, sir!"

Huang Chengsheng first looked at Lin Pingdao, then bowed his hands and saluted.

Although his official position was lower than that of the Prime Minister of Niu County, he believed that he was from a small household, and faced such a girl, he had no intention of kneeling down and worshiping her.

Lin Pingping's eyes fell on Huang Jisheng, but he asked in a calm voice: "You just said: Your Ming Dynasty?"

"My general made a slip of the tongue!" Huang Jisheng frowned slightly, but said impatiently.

Lin Ping Ping's face was still serious, and he issued an order: "Come here, slap your mouth!"

As soon as this statement came out, the surrounding atmosphere immediately became tense.

"How dare you!" Huang Jisheng said angrily with his eyes widened, as if he thought he heard wrongly.

Lin Ping Ping looked at the soldiers around him who were ready to act, and immediately asked with a straight face: "Are you just like him, unwilling to admit that you are soldiers of the Ming Dynasty?"

This group of subordinates who were ready to make a move exchanged glances with each other. Although many of them had always clearly distinguished themselves from the Ming soldiers, they were still affiliated with the Ming Dynasty.

If you act rashly at this juncture, it will really be treason. After all, their Huang Baihu really spoke openly and said such treasonous words.

"Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"

Huang Chengsheng's figure was not advantageous, especially for a tall man like the rice bowl in front of him, but he kept trying to call for help.

"I wonder who dares? Do you want to rebel?"

Maping County Magistrate Niu Dongsheng also stood up at this time and shouted loudly at the surrounding soldiers.

Huang Chengsheng immediately fell into an isolated and helpless situation. Two Jinyi guards stepped forward to hold him up, while the rice bowl raised his palm and threw it hard at Huang Jisheng's face.

Snap!

Fantan slapped Huang Chengsheng hard and unceremoniously, and the sound echoed in front of the city gate, causing Huang Chengsheng's mouth to be filled with blood immediately.

But this was not over yet. Fantan slapped him ten times in a row, which made the soldiers around him tremble with fear. Huang Chengsheng's whole face was swollen like a pig's head. It no longer had the power it had just now, but it was like
Chapter completed!
