Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 208 The Army Outside the City

"What's the situation now?!"

While everyone was petitioning, a clear female voice sounded, this voice is no different from the sounds of nature.

"Ah, little sister Fu!"

Liu Yuanjie exclaimed excitedly, "You've come back! Shuangguifang and the county school are gone! There are also scholars coming to report that it seems that Tartars have infiltrated the city!"

"what?!"

Cui Yushu exclaimed, "Tartar?! This, how is this possible?!"

"What about that person?"

Zuo Fu's face was terribly gloomy.She took Cui Yushu to the laboratory at Li Palace today, and told him her vision.Although Cui Yushu felt that Zuo Fu's idea was very bold, he didn't find it particularly strange.

Because people have been vaccinated against human pox since the Song Dynasty.Although the success rate is relatively low, there are many successes.Now Zuo Fu said that cowpox might be safer, and he thought it was worth a try.

After discussing the matter, the two returned.How did he know that not long after he entered the city, he saw the military households at the Chaojing Gate moving around. After asking this question, he knew that the county school had gone wrong.

Is this worth it? !
There are many students of his own in the county school, Zuo Fu was impatient at the moment, and rushed over immediately.

But just here, she heard such words again, and the anger in her heart can be imagined.

She can be regarded as careful and cautious. She is usually observed in the city, and even the refugees are carefully screened, but she did not expect people to sneak in!
"Yes, at the yamen!"

"Little friend, let's go to the Yamen quickly."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "I can't go to the yamen at this time."

Zuo Fu looked around and said, "Li Xiang, be careful."

"Yes!"

"What's the meaning of this, little friend?"

"If it's really the Tartars, then their target may be the chief official of this city."

Zuo Fu pulled past Cui Yushu, "At this time, you must not stand in a place with a wide view."

"Zhang Ming, protect the magistrate! Come and move things with me!"

"Yes, my lord!"

"Little friend, this is it?"

Cui Yushu became anxious, "If it is true as you said, wouldn't it be very dangerous for you to act like this? Although the fire is burning vigorously, but there are many people and strength, and there is no wind today, so it will be extinguished soon."

How can Zuo Fu say that I want to find a house and get some supplies?So I can only bite the bullet and make a strong and righteous gesture, "Huh! How dare you come to my site and set fire! If I don't pay back to them, I'm not Zuofu! Take care of yourself, my lord! I'm fine, go back as soon as you go !"

After finishing speaking, he took the rein that Li Xiang handed over, got on the horse, and ran out on the horse without waiting for Cui Yushu's response!

Not far from the county school is the Old Tenghua Hall, which is the place where Su Dongpo died. There is also a Dongpo Academy next to him.Alarmed by the fire at the county school, all the students went to fight the fire, and Zuo Fu just came in to get some supplies.

High-pressure water pumps, connecting pipes and hoses, thanks to the fact that Changzhou is a city surrounded by water. In ancient times, there were more houses with wooden structures, and there were more fire-fighting equipment in the city. There were large water tanks and ancient versions of pressure water guns everywhere.

If you use it yourself now, the effect will be even better.The people are more active in fighting the fire, because a fire in the city is likely to hurt themselves, so it is not difficult to collect water in this city surrounded by water.

After buying 100 sets of equipment in one go, and adding countless fire extinguishers, Zuo Fu took out the bulletproof vests and helmets he had stored in the space and put them on.At the same time, I bought another set for the personal guards around me.

It’s also due to the fact that I follow the fish wherever I go, otherwise it’s really hard to explain!

After putting them on, Zuo Fu called the soldiers in, and after demonstrating how to use the high-pressure water pump, he said, "The fire at the county school has been brought under control, but it's more urgent at Shuangguifang, so hurry up and use this high-pressure water gun to fight the fire." Use a fire extinguisher to put out the fire! Also, wear equipment and act, this city may really be infested with Tartars!"

"Yes……"

"Big girl, it's not good!"

A guard guard outside ran in, "Someone shouted outside just now, the Tartar army is besieging Changzhou!"

"what?!"

Zuo Fu was taken aback, she subconsciously looked at Li Xiang, then at Guan Yu, and saw that the two were also shocked, she couldn't help but rubbed her ears, wondering if she had auditory hallucinations.

"The villagers are shouting, and suddenly more than 1000 people appear outside the city. Although they are from the Han family, they don't look like my Han family!"

Zuo Fu's heart tightened, and she suddenly remembered the matter of transporting grain by sea in the early Ming Dynasty.

Could it be that the Tartars set out from Tianjin after being unable to cross the river for a long time, then took Taicang, attacked Changzhou, and then attacked Nanjing?
Thinking of this possibility, her face immediately turned pale!

"Big girl!"

Li Xiang suddenly shouted, "Miss, send someone to put out the fire first! If there is chaos in the city, we will have no way out!"

After all, he was a veteran who had been on the battlefield, and his reaction was much faster than that of a rookie like Zuofu.Seeing that Zuo Fu was in a daze, he immediately reminded: "Nine times out of ten, you can't go wrong! The outsiders are definitely Tartars! These two incidents started suddenly, and some scholars recognized the Tartars, Miss! Don't you want to Other times!"

"Yes! You go to put out the fire immediately, and beware of another disturbance in the city!"

Zuo Fu took a deep breath, "Everyone is there! Go back to the Yamen immediately and prepare for battle! Also, the whole city is under martial law!"

"Song Yu sent someone to close the city gate just now."

Li Xiangdao: "We have to beware of the Tartars in the city now, sir, be careful! The Tartars may use dirty tricks! You can't go to the yamen! Let's go!"

"I can't stay here at this time!"

Zuo Fu held the steel knife, "If there is no one to command, it will be even more chaotic!"

Seeing that Li Xiang wanted to speak, she stopped him, "It's only a few steps away from the county government office, let's go there now!"

Everyone knew Zuo Fu's temperament, seeing that she had said this, naturally he didn't dare to raise any doubts, and hurriedly acted.

A group of people rushed to put out the fire and pick up Cui Yushu, while another group escorted Zuo Fu back to the Yamen.

After leaving the old wisteria hall, the outside is already in chaos.

Someone saw Zuo Fu and shouted excitedly, "My lord is here, my lord is here, everyone, don't be afraid! With my lord here, the Tartars can't get in!"

The people were running in the street in a panic. Zuo Fu subconsciously glanced at the direction of the county school. The fire that had been gradually getting smaller just now became bigger again. She turned sideways and bought a loudspeaker from Taobao , under the cover of Guanyu, took out the loudspeaker and shouted, "Folks, don't be afraid! But there are only a thousand people in the district, and I can beat them back! You have to do one thing now!" "

The loud noise calmed the terrified crowd.

People remembered that their county magistrate was the one who killed tens of thousands of Tartars, and they were relieved a lot, and their restless emotions were also somewhat appeased.

Zuo Fu bent down, "Please don't panic, elders! There are not many soldiers in Changzhou, and now two places in the city are on fire, and the person who set the fire has been caught by us. They are Tartars! Those Tartars outside came from the sea. , the Tartars are not good at water, and the ships that can sail the ocean are limited. They will not have any reinforcements, just more than 1000 people! There are 10,000+ people in our city, and each person can drown them with a spit! Therefore, I implore all elders , help me put out the fire! I have brought the fire extinguishing artifact, and my subordinates will teach you how to use it! Our home must not be chaotic, otherwise we will fall into the tricks of the Tartars!"

She straightened up and continued: "Besides, the Tartars may be disguised as monks. When people see a monk, they will look at the back of his head. If there is a white spot, like money, then they will arrest him, especially if the accent is relatively weak. Strange, that must be Tartar Wuyu!"

"My lord, Cheng, haven't all the Tartars in the city been captured?"

Someone said in horror: "The Tartars kill people without blinking an eye!"

"It's two shoulders against one head. We need to be united. We can't fight one-on-one, can't we beat ten-on-one?!"

The more Zuo Fu said, the more anger in his eyes.

Even if the Qing army really set off from Tianjin, it was not easy to get mixed into this place in the south of the Yangtze River.Where did they get the guide?Where did the ultimatum come from? !
These bastards!

what time is it !
Have you heard about Yangzhou?They are still playing corruption!These people are the worst!How could the Qing army outside the city get here without them? !

More than 1000 people!Not a pig!According to reports from the public, there are actually war horses!What a fool!So many people came to the city of Changzhou, yet there was no movement at all!There must be something wrong in Suzhou and Wuxi!
There are more than 1000 people here, and it is very likely that there will be reinforcements behind, and it is very likely that they are the surrendered Ming army...

Thinking of this, Zuo Fu couldn't help but feel sad.

An army of a thousand men can drive another army of tens of thousands of people away, and some simply surrendered without fighting.She works so hard, so hard to build, for what? !Just to let this group of silverfish continue to enjoy themselves? !This dynasty has been rotten to the root, and without a thorough reform, even if it repelled the Qing army, it will still be the same!
"Fathers and elders, please quickly help put out the fire!"

Zuofu cheered up, "I'm going to organize soldiers to fight against the Tartars! You don't want to be subjugated slaves, do you?! Look at Yangzhou! Even if we kneel down, those people will not let us go!"

After she finished speaking, she got on her horse and said in a deep voice, "Let's go!"

The people fell silent.

After a long time, seeing Zuo Fu's figure disappearing from sight, someone suddenly shouted, "We should not be subjugated slaves! We Changzhou people have never been cowards! Think about the ancient village, think about the spirit of our Changzhou people during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty! Folks, Put out the fire first, and then go to support the adults!"

"The Tartars are too cruel."

Someone cried: "We are finished, we are finished! They must have come from Taicang. There used to be ships from Zhigu to Taicang to transport grain. My ancestors were water workers. At that time, as long as they were water workers, they would be fine." The whole family will be exempted from tax and labor for one year..."

His voice grew louder, and his eyes were full of fear, "Suzhou and Taicang must have fallen! And Wuxi! Otherwise, they won't be able to make it through, they won't be able to make it through! What can we do? What can we do?! God! Ah, why is our life so hard, we have had some good days..."
