The rise of the poor

Chapter 1775 Zihou, Zihou, you gave me a problem
More than 2 people cried around the city, asking for the door to be opened.

Shangwei, the magistrate of Suzhou on the city wall, could not help but let out a long sigh and burst into tears when he heard the cries of the people in the city.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

Weighing the pros and cons, for the safety of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, the tens of thousands of people outside the city can only be wronged.

"I am ashamed of my elders outside the city," Shang Zhifu sighed with tears.

"Fu Zun, this is not your responsibility, all the mistakes are the fault of the Japanese pirates." The official who followed quickly comforted him.

At this moment, hearing the sound of horseshoes coming from outside the city, a group of cavalry came towards the city gate with torches in the distance.

The people outside the city suddenly panicked, thinking it was the Japanese pirates coming, the wailing became louder, and they beat the city gate anxiously.

The defenders on the city wall also became nervous and fell into a certain degree of panic, especially the defenders at the city gate, who were even more nervous. They raised several pillars and put them behind the city gate to prevent Japanese pirates from hitting the door.

"Fathers and folks, don't be nervous, don't be afraid, we are the Zhejiang Army, our own people, we are not Japanese pirates."

"We are the Zhejiang Army, and we are our own people."

Amid the panic among the crowd, the galloping cavalry shouted loudly again and again to reduce people's tension and calm their emotions.

"The Zhejiang Army, it's the Zhejiang Army. I've heard that a few days ago, the corpses of Japanese pirates pulled by the carriage were captured by the Zhejiang Army."

"It's ours, don't run away,"

"Father, mother, don't cry, this is our own army, not Japanese pirates, it's for fighting Japanese pirates."

After listening to the cavalry shouting loudly, people took a closer look, and sure enough, under the light of the torches, they saw that the cavalry were all wearing uniform armor of the Ming army. Everything is available, and it looks like a regular army, and everyone has a kind face.

No one is a Japanese pirate with a bird's head and bare feet, Japanese clothes, and Han clothes in a mess, and people are immediately relieved.

The people who recognized it first hurriedly told the people around them, and soon, the panicked people calmed down.

"The Zhejiang Army didn't stop the Japanese pirates at the Fengqiao camp. Why did they come to the city on horseback? Did they want to enter the city to avoid the Japanese pirates? If the Zhejiang army also entered the city, there would be no one outside the city to stop the Japanese pirates. If the Japanese pirates come to kill them, they will rush directly to the city."

An official on the city wall looked at the seven or eight hundred cavalry coming from the city, frowned and said worriedly.

"No, you can't open the door to let them in. If they come in, the people outside the city will definitely rush in. Tens of thousands of people will not be able to get in for a while, and the Japanese pirates will kill them immediately."

"No, absolutely not!"

"If you let them enter the city, you will become an enemy! If you let them enter the city, you will destroy the Great Wall! Absolutely not!"

Several officials next to him shook their heads repeatedly, insisting that the Zhejiang army should not be allowed to enter the city.

"You guys are stupid. The fighting power of the Zhejiang army is not bad. It is much stronger than the general guard army. Last time they captured hundreds of Japanese pirate heads in Jihai. Let them enter the city to strengthen our defense force. One more person is more power."

Some people disagreed with the opinions of the previous few people to keep the Zhejiang army out of the city, and put forward different opinions, and let the Zhejiang army enter the city to strengthen its defensive strength.

"You are so stupid, let the Zhejiang army enter the city, the people outside the city will not watch the Zhejiang army enter the city, they will definitely enter the city together! There are no less than 2 people outside, and the city gate will definitely be in chaos , Japanese pirates may come over at any time, then our Suzhou city will be finished, and all the wives and children in the city will be finished!"

Immediately, some people retorted, life and death are at stake, and they will not hold back their opinions at this time.

"Just let the Zhejiang army enter the city and not let the people enter the city, or it will be over!" The official just now replied immediately.

"Hehe, what you said is strange and light. Are the people outside the city just for display? Will they watch the Zhejiang army enter the city?"

Dissenting officials countered.

"Hehe, are the guards at the city gate just for display, and let them watch the people sneak into the city? What are they doing for food! As soon as the Zhejiang army enters the city, they will immediately drive away the people and close the city gate!"

The official just now chuckled and said calmly.

"Well, it's not impossible." The officials who disagreed couldn't help but nodded when they heard this.

It is just to let the Zhejiang army enter the city, and if the Zhejiang army closes the city gate as soon as it enters the city, they will be happy to see it succeed.One more person is more strength, and their safety can be increased by a little bit, so why not do it.

Shang Wei, the prefect of Suzhou on the city wall, watched the Zhe army coming on horseback, and listened to the conversations of the officials around him, his expression became complicated.

The Zhejiang army is not stationed at the Fengqiao camp to stop the Japanese pirates, what are they doing in the city?
If the Zhejiang army wants to enter the city, will they be allowed to enter?It was only when the Zhe army sent a warning signal that they made a warning. They said they were going to enter the city, so they closed the door to prevent them from entering? !Will it chill the hearts of the soldiers of the Zhejiang Army?

In addition, there are more than 4 Japanese pirates in Songjiang Prefecture, and only 2000 in the Zhejiang Army.

But if they are allowed to enter the city, what about the people outside the city? Are the state officials only allowed to set fire and not the people to light lamps? !But what if the pirates suddenly came here? !There are hundreds of thousands of people in the city.

Zihou, Zihou, what do you want me to do? You have given me a problem.

Shangzhifu took a deep breath, he was at war between heaven and man, two completely different opinions clashed with each other, for a while, the scene was very anxious, neither of the two opinions could convince the other, and neither could satisfy Shangzhifu.

Just when Shangzhifu was fighting between heaven and man, he suddenly saw the cavalry driving their horses to both sides of the city, flashed out of an aisle, and a young commander in military uniform, surrounded by more than ten elite cavalry, drove his horse forward and came to the city gate for a while. before all the people.

It was Zhu Ping'an!
Although the distance was still nearly a hundred meters away, Shang Zhifu still recognized it immediately from the figure and the armor.

The armor on Zhu Ping'an's body is obviously more gorgeous than that of other soldiers of the Zhejiang Army. The spear on the top of the helmet is longer and the red tassels are brighter.

This is also for the convenience of command, so that the soldiers can recognize the commander at a glance, convey and obey the commander's combat instructions.

"Fathers and folks, I am Zhu Ping'an, the coach of the Zhejiang Army. Please make way for me to talk to the city."

Zhu Pingan got off his horse, and surrounded by Liu Dadao and others, he cupped his fists and bowed to the people in front of him.

Tens of thousands of people gathered in front of the city gate, which was so blocked that it almost occupied an open space of nearly [-] meters.

100 meters.

With such a long distance, Zhu Ping'an was not Zhang Fei in the ancient times when communication depended on shouting. It was impossible for Zhu Ping'an to have an effective dialogue with the city.
