Because Zhu Xi and Zhu Di came here, Zhu Su was no longer the most noble prince in Suzhou City. At this time, Zhu Su was walking at the front, and Zhu Di, who ranked fourth, was walking on the left side next to Zhu Su.
, and Zhu Laowu and Zhu Su can walk on the right.
When they saw Yang Lu carrying something, Zhu Di and Zhu Su looked on with cold eyes. Zhu Xi was quite interested, "What is this? Uncover it and let me see it!"
Yang Lu didn't notice anything unusual about Zhu Su and Zhu Di's face, so he assumed that the Zhu family in the Tian family had strict rules. If the elder brother Zhu Ping spoke on his behalf, the other two brothers would naturally ask to remain quiet. He smiled and asked people to reveal the three
Under the curtain covering the gift, the hall suddenly lit up, revealing three coral trees that were several feet tall!
Although at this moment of anxiety and uneasiness, everyone present took a breath of cold air when they suddenly saw this Zhai Luobao. The three coral trees were shining with brilliance and were inexplicably precious. It would not be an exaggeration to say that they were rare treasures.
.
"There are quite a lot of treasures in my Suzhou Wei treasury." Zhu Su could not help but mock. "There are such rare and precious things."
"It's all thanks to the great kindness of your Majesty and the three palace lords." Yang Lu said flatteringly. "Those three treasure trees are the ones that King Cheng Zhang Shicheng hid somewhere in Suzhou City in the past."
"By chance, Dong was taken into the palace by Suzhou Guards. Ru Ming happened to borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and gave them to the three palace masters." Zhu Su said with a smile and said, "Originally, I asked to present it to the palace master of King Wu that month.
You, you were so happy that month that you actually forgot about it."
"Isn't it just right to be in Bu Naoruming? If three precious trees are placed in the east of the three halls, wouldn't they complement each other?"
The Suzhou officials in Didong had strange eyes, and they all secretly glanced at the three Zhu brothers at the head. Zhu Su, Zhu Di, and Zhu Ping glanced at each other wrongly, and Zhu Ping said: "In this case, I, King Yan, and King Wu
Then I took it away."
"Commander Yang, please leave now. I really want to discuss an important matter."
"No. Thank you to the east of the palace of King Qin." Yang Lu knelt down and saluted. The guards of King Qin took over the coral trees. Yang Luzhi walked back to his seat with great satisfaction. No one dared to complain about his late arrival.
Said in half a sentence.
"You all are the pillars of Suzhou Mansion. You must all know about the Taihu water bandits captured last night." Seeing that everyone was in place, Zhu Su stood up from his chair and walked out according to the previous decision.
He came to take charge of the overall situation.
"You may not know, but before the bandit leader was confirmed and crowned, he threatened them and others. He mentioned in his words that a large army would march into Suzhou Prefecture as soon as possible, and then he would kill them all in Suzhou in the east. Chickens
The dog does not stay..."
As soon as Zhu Su said this, everyone in the hall became restless.
"A large army?" Someone asserted: "They all grew up in Suzhou, and they are the most proficient in the geography of Suzhou. They have known every plant and tree here since they were young."
"Where can we hide an army large enough to attack the city? It must be that the thief deliberately made threats before he died, with the intention of scaring him."
"About that point, I, my staff and several brothers have already completed the investigation." Zhu Su showed his folding fan and said in a deep voice: "Then the army, I'm afraid it's not groundless."
"It's extremely possible, but it's not a Japanese pirate!"
"Japanese pirates!" Everyone was shocked, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Japanese rebellion has a long history, and it already existed in the Yuan Dynasty. Su Suhuang was wealthy and was not the hardest hit area by the Mongolian Yuan taxation. However, because it was close to the sea, it suffered from Japanese rebellion from time to time.
Often after the Japanese pirates plundered, the remaining food was not enough to pay the taxes imposed by the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. It can be said that there were no external worries. Therefore, the people of Susong were wrong about the fear and disgust of the Japanese pirates, not Dongong.
Meng Yuan.
In other words, during the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when Zhang Shicheng was in power, foreign military forces were built in an attempt to dominate Tiandong. There was the "Pirate King" Fang Guozhen patrolling the sea, which frightened the Japanese pirates into not daring to move lightly. Only then did the people of Susong use the Japanese swords of the Japanese pirates.
Zhidong got a moment of peace.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, although Japanese pirates were also rampant in the southern half of the Yangtze River, and they were likely to become more and more violent, I don’t know why, but in those few years, Suzhou had not been plundered by the first group of Japanese pirates after the "Jianming Dynasty".
When I suddenly heard that those evil thieves who had appeared in my memory were coming again, how could those people not panic?
"Is the statement made by the east of the palace true?" Ru Taisu, the censor of the river patrol, looked extremely worried. "I wonder if there is any definite news. How many are the Japanese pirates? When will they arrive?"
"If there is, they need to take precautions early. If there is no definite information, they should also send speedboats to conduct coastal reconnaissance and warning..."
"The number of people is so large that they must prepare for the worst. Since they dare to threaten to massacre the city, there should be at least ten thousand people." Zhu Su said.
"As for the exact time, he doesn't know. But thinking about it, it won't be too long."
Chen Hui, Zhang Ren and his party were not many in number. They were eager to burn down the reserve warehouse and assassinate themselves. Their purpose must be to provoke chaos in the city, so as to prepare for Zhang Li to lure Japanese pirates into the city.
Then, that time will definitely not be long. Even if they succeed in burning down the reserve warehouse and provoke the desperate refugees in the west of the city who have been deprived of food to start a rebellion, the chaos will not last long. Because when the court finds out
If the chaos in the city is resolved and disaster relief food is transferred from other places, those refugees will surely come east safely as soon as possible.
However, the core members of Zhang Chen's remnants, who numbered only a few hundred people, were unable to completely control the city of Suzhou and cooperate with the people inside and outside. Therefore, the time period when the Japanese pirates would attack would definitely not be longer than the time when the imperial court mobilized food and grass from other places.
time period.
Yingtian is not far from Suzhou, so the imperial court must respond quickly. It will not take more than July at most to mobilize grain and grass to Suzhou.
In other words, outside the seventh month, Japanese pirates will definitely come from far away!
"I will immediately close the four gates of Suzhou and put the whole city under martial law from the bright moon to guard against Japanese pirates!" Wei Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, couldn't walk any longer. "In addition, I said softly and asked the east of the palace to write a book immediately and go to the surrounding guards, asking them to take it with them.
Soldiers are here to help."
"If I had not sent the book to the capital to compile the book, and then issued a message to send troops to the capital, I'm afraid it would be too late. The three palace masters are all here. If there is something wrong, I will be responsible for the death of the old minister..."
Over there, many bureaucrats nodded frequently and agreed with Wei Guan's statement.
"The prefect of Wei wants to close the city and defend himself. Could it be that he wants to abandon Susong and other counties in Buqin?" Ru Taisu, Wei Guan's old friend and someone who was completely opposite to the good-tempered Wei Guan, had a different opinion at this time.
"How can we be sure that the Japanese pirates will attack Suzhou Prefecture?"
"Those Japanese pirates came by boat, and they didn't bring any siege equipment. The capital city of Suzhou is high and the pond is deep. Could it be that those Japanese pirates could use their bald heads to directly knock open the Suzhou city wall?"
"In my opinion, when those Japanese Japanese come across the sea, they will definitely disperse to the east and plunder. By then, the villages, towns and villages around Susong will be the ones to suffer!"
"Since they knew in advance that the Japanese were coming, they should gather their troops and wait for work on the coast in order to annihilate them all on the coast. This way they can use their troops together!" Ru Taisu said.
