Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

"Shu Ping, I really didn't expect this old man to come to Jinan in a hurry and go back like this."

Before leaving, the expression on the old father-in-law's face was very complicated, with many meanings, but most of all he was relieved.

Zhang Deqi originally saw that Jinan might be dangerous, but his family ran to Jinan instead, and what happened after that was one nightmare after another, and now at least this nightmare is about to wake up.

Come out from the West Lane and rush to the north gate of Jinan City. If it is in the usual season, although it is early, but because it is the Chinese New Year, many people are busy with the last things before the year. For example, the creditors have been asking for debts everywhere these two days. It will not be until the evening of the thirtieth, after the last account is settled with the lantern in hand, and after everything has been sorted out, can I rest happily.

Usually at this time, the streets are full of pedestrians with relaxed and happy expressions, but this time it is deserted everywhere. When I see a few people by chance, they all look hurried, nervous, and have a look of fear in their eyes. [

Seeing Zhang Deqi and his party pushing a wheelbarrow, many people showed curiosity on their faces, but at this time, no one was meddling in other people's business, and they were just watching.

After turning around a few streets, Zhang Deqi saw Li Xin from a distance. After the two families reunited, they bowed to each other and saluted. It was also very lively. Everyone's face was full of relaxation.

Now at this time, it is not safe to go east or south, and no one can see where the end line of Donglu's attack is. Yanzhou Mansion has soldiers, but there are Liu Zeqing's soldiers and a large number of thieves there. In terms of the degree of danger They are not much better than Tartar soldiers, so going straight to Dezhou should be the best way.

In the past few days, many gentry who have the ability to escape and have a clear mind have run away. The carriages kept going to the north gate, and the direction was all to Dezhou. Li Xin was in the governor's office and saw many officials, gentry and wealthy businessmen The whole family fled, and those officials who were guarding the land had the responsibility not to leave, but he had no such scruples. Now that he was finally able to escape with his friends and family, he felt relieved. When he saw Zhang Deqi, he laughed loudly: "Shuping, morning Say goodbye to the yamen, what do you think they say?"

"Say what?"

"You say I'm too stupid! They say that Jinan is the prefecture, the provincial capital, and the seat of the vassals. How can the court ignore it? They will definitely send troops to help, and the Tartars will not dare to attack the city. This is one of them."

"Well, there's another one?"

"Yes! The second is that reinforcements have already been ordered to come."

"Which one? Liu Zeqing? If he goes to the city, I think everyone should stay away from it."

"They're not so stupid as to be so stupid. They transferred the soldiers and horses of the Fushan Battalion in Laizhou."

"Among the Laizhou soldiers, I heard that the Fushan camp is indeed the most elite. The battalion commander is a guerrilla, right? I remember that he has beheaded more than [-] people for his meritorious service. Among our Lu army, beheading is already the number one."

"Well, this man is good at leading troops. The story of six hundred breaking three thousand is a matter that embarrasses our Chief Qiu Town. I think his subordinates should have good combat capabilities."

"I heard that this person is not bad for the local people. The gentry in the Denglai area came to the province to mention this person and praised him a lot."

"Well, that's true. It was the fault of Qiu and Ni Ershuai that he wasn't transferred at the beginning. If he had been transferred a month earlier, I think we would have saved this trip. Thousands of strong soldiers would enter a powerful city like Jinan , the Tartars will not choose to attack by force. But Li Qianshi himself went there a few days ago for the transfer of troops. Don't say that the general will be arguing when he is transferred. Even if Zhang came immediately after receiving the order, I am afraid he will arrive. By that time, Jinan had already fallen."
