Chapter 173

Looking at the bottom, while saying, he didn't forget his brother who winked at him. Gunerdo above responded helplessly.

Although the younger brother took a few blows when he was free, his military literacy and command ability of marching operations were quite reliable.

In that case, let them go ahead and make a front stop.

In the camp here, the military deployment to capture Yang city began, and the refugees had arrived in Yang city one step ahead of the refugees. Following the footsteps of Lin Weiyuan and his party, they perfectly rubbed a family member who had entered the city. They had already found a temporary place to stay in the cart shop for tourists at the bottom.

The cart shop sells a large one-stop shop with one location for each person. These ten people, men and women, occupy exactly one room.

In this land and gold rich Yangzhou City, it's so cheap that it only costs three Wen to live for a day.

The yard is full of goods from merchants, mules and horses. Compared with the trade of some large commercial firms, their luggage and materials are just Pediatrics for the warehouse of this cart shop.

The family did not relax because of their temporary safety. Instead, after settling down in the hotel, they began to inquire about the news in Yangzhou city.

Temporary security does not mean long-term. Whether they can survive in this peaceful city is the problem they should consider more.

But who would have thought that before they began to figure out how to ask people, they heard a burst of gongs and drums on the square street near the government office.

"The censor of the eight provinces is now issuing an emergency war preparation order for Yangcheng."

"All men in Yangcheng, who are over 16 years old and under 40 years old, should register in front of the imperial historian's house before the next day. After entering the register, they will be included in the Yangcheng anti enemy militia team, which will be responsible for the solid defense and security of Yangcheng in the future."

"Dangdang, Dangdang, say again, whether local or foreign, under the protection of our city wall army and the grace of our big moon country, we should do our part for the guard of Yang City!"

"If you don't take the initiative to report within the time limit, don't blame us for incorporating those pricks into the dare to die camp once we find them!"

After hearing these orders, Gu Zheng and an Dahu, who walked with him, looked at each other.

An ominous premonition arose.

If there is no war, what is the purpose of such collective conscription?

They are not like Yangzhou people who are not aware of the danger at all. After listening to the briefing, they should do what they don't take seriously at all.

On the contrary, after the crowd dispersed, Gu Zheng quietly followed the Yamen who released the news in the square and began to pack up and go back.

When he came to a place with relatively few people, they held one arm of the Yamen and directly brought the relatively thin Southern young man to a hidden alley.

When the other party was about to shout for help in the next second, he handed a small silver piece cut from the silver naked, which was more than two dollars, to the Yamen.

"We don't mean any harm, sergeant. We just want to ask you something. Our brothers may not use the right method. Are you surprised?"

"If you take this little thing, you'll be surprised."

Hey, this feeling is good. The Yamen who took over the small silver piece and turned the silver in his hand found that there were two pieces of gold in it. Then he smiled and forgot his fear. He was in a good mood. After putting the silver in his arms, he asked, "you two are quite sensible. Tell me, what do you want to ask?"

"Hey, hey, thank you, sergeant. We are brothers who escaped from Ludi. We heard the recruitment order as soon as we arrived in Yangcheng. Why? There will be Tartars outside Yangcheng soon?"

Hearing the questions asked by the two brothers, the elder brother of the Yamen service nodded slightly after looking at Gu Zheng several times: "Just in time, I also want to find some people from Ludi to ask. I don't bother the two masters. I'll disclose the information I know to you, and you and I will give you the information you know. What do you think? We can communicate with each other."

What's wrong with this? Gu Zheng, as a representative, nodded.

The Yamen who reached the agreement told Gu Zheng all the information he could get.

"Didn't the rear court of the big moon Kingdom move south? Lord Shi Kefa also moved here with the little emperor."

"This adult is mainly responsible for the inspection of the eight provinces south of the Yangtze River. He is lucky. On the way to Yangcheng, he met with a small group of Tartars' investigation troops."

"According to the adult, this group of Tartars may be followed by a large army, and their final destination is Yangcheng."

"So the adult hurried to Yang City. As soon as he arrived in the city, he didn't even drink hot tea, so he first issued the conscription order in Yang City."

"If you are not a native of Yangcheng, I suggest you go to other cities quickly. No accident, Lord Shi will start with you refugees from tomorrow and fill the army."

When Gu Zheng and an Dahu heard this, they were surprised. They were very grateful and arched their hands at the little yamen: "thank you for your reminding. We'll go back and arrange it and set off immediately."

"In exchange, I don't know what the errant wants to ask us?"

Hearing this, the thin Yang City attendant was very vigilant and looked around. When he confirmed that there was no one, he lowered his voice and asked Gu Zheng: "I heard that all the people in Jicheng were killed, didn't he?"

Speaking of such a heavy problem, Gu Zheng didn't know how to react. He just nodded painfully in response to the other party's statement.

"Is it said that wherever the Tartars go, whether they fight to the death or abandon the city and surrender, they will kill most of the people of Dayue country in the end?"

When the little yamen asked here, his words had their own vibrato.

Gu Zheng pondered for a while and didn't give a positive answer, but he was not much worse: "I don't know what the situation is in other cities, but my Jicheng and the cities all the way south are like this."

"This is not a rumor, it is a bloody fact."
