"What's going on? King Hun has gathered his troops again."
"Everyone, this time King Hun is gathering his troops. Could it be that something like last time will happen again?”
"Is the Breaking Ranks really that strong? However, no matter how strong they are, they only have 10,000 people. We have more than 80,000 people now.”
"It's so early in the morning. I wonder what King Hun is up to.”
“......”
Not only were the officials confused and uneasy, but the soldiers also had heavy hearts.
It had been less than two days since the last gathering. Now that they were gathering, it instantly evoked some bad memories in the hearts of the soldiers.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the black mass of people in front of him and stepped forward to say,"Soldiers, I have gathered my troops again today for two purposes. One is to open the city gates from today onwards. Anyone who wants to escape from Beijing can leave at any time.”
"Whoosh!"
Hearing Zhu Qiyu's words, everyone was in an uproar.
Due to the influence of the Tumu Fortress incident, the people in Beijing had been in a state of panic recently. Not to mention the ordinary people, even some officials had arranged for their families to flee south.
In order to prevent Beijing from becoming an empty city, Wang Zhi, Yu Qian, and the others jointly issued a decree to close the city gates. No one was allowed to leave the city.
"What is King Hun doing?"
Wang Zhi, Yu Qian, Hu Fou, Jin Lian, and the others looked at each other in confusion.
They knew very well that if they opened the city gates and did not stop the people from leaving, the northbound traffic in Beijing would probably be cut off.
The impact of the Tumubao Rebellion was too bad. So many soldiers and horses had not been able to attack Wala. Now, Wala, Tartar, and Wuliangha had joined forces to attack the south. Could Beijing, with only tens of thousands of people, hold on?
No one had confidence in the soldiers in the city. Even if they did, they did not dare to gamble, because if they lost, they would die.
If the city was breached, it would definitely be a disaster for the people who stayed in the city.
"Your Highness…"
Yu Qian frowned and was about to step forward to persuade Zhu Qiyu.
Although he didn't want to kidnap the people in the city, what would happen to the logistics if the people left? At that time, the food and drink of the soldiers in the city would become a big problem.
"Swoosh!"
Wang Zhi reached out to pull Yu Qian back and shook his head at him."Trust your highness. He must have his reasons for doing this.”
Although he was also very puzzled, through the understanding of Zhu Qiyu in the past two days, he understood that although Zhu Qiyu was strong and domineering, he was definitely not a boorish man.
He really wanted to know why Zhu Qiyu dared to let the commoners go south at will.
Yu Qian hesitated for a moment before nodding.
"What's going on? Your Highness allowed the commoners in the city to go south at will. I can already predict the reaction of the commoners when they find out about the current situation in the city.”
"If we can go south as we please, I don't think anyone will continue to stay in Beijing unless they have no choice.”
"Although your highness has good intentions, the commoners have left. What are we going to eat and drink?”
"Don't be anxious. Didn't you see it? The ministers of the court were all present. If His Highness did not take any measures to remedy the situation, he believed that the ministers would not allow His Highness to act recklessly.”
“......”
The soldiers did not object to letting the people go south, but before that, they had to solve their supply problem.
Otherwise, who would be willing to risk their lives to fight Wala and end up hungry?
Zhu Qiyu looked at the noisy scene in front of him and became even more determined to regroup his troops. He slowly raised his right hand.
"Silence!"
The 9,000 Breaking Ranks roared in unison.
In an instant, the noisy scene disappeared and the scene became silent.
For the first time, the soldiers who entered Beijing felt the pressure of the Breaking Ranks.
Although they had never fought with the Breaking Ranks, as soldiers, they could feel the strength of the Breaking Ranks.
Zhu Qiyu was very satisfied with this effect. He waved his hand at Cheng Jing beside him."Come, bring it up."
Cheng Jing nodded and ordered a group of eunuchs to bring five hundred thousand gold taels to Zhu Qiyu.
"Hmm? What was going on? Why did King Hun ask people to carry seven big boxes over?”
"What's going on? What is King Hun doing?"
"As expected, I knew King Hun wouldn't send his people south for no reason. He must have prepared a backup plan.”
“......”
The soldiers looked at the seven large chests that were carried up, and the doubts in their hearts became even stronger.
They all looked at Zhu Qiyu with puzzled gazes.
"As expected, King Hun plans to use Xun Gui's money to buy people's hearts.”
"King Hun's move is brilliant. However, if it's like this, facing the Wala's invasion, Da Ming's chances of winning might increase a little.”
"Although King Hun is strong and overbearing, his actions are not meaningless.”
“......”
Wang Zhi, Yu Qian, Hu Fou, and the others understood and looked at Zhu Qiyu with admiration.
Although they had offended the dignitaries, they had stabilized their military power. In this way, even if the dignitaries wanted to cause trouble, they would not be able to cause too much trouble. Moreover, this move could also boost morale and give the soldiers the courage to fight the Wala.
Killing two birds with one stone, apart from the noble status, everyone was happy.
"Bang bang bang…"
Zhu Qiyu picked up the hammer Wei Zhongxian handed him and walked over to knock off the locks on the seven big boxes one by one. Then, he opened the boxes one by one.
In an instant, dazzling gold entered everyone's eyes.
"Gold!"
"F * ck, the chest is full of gold!”
"The chests are filled with gold. Seven big chests. How much money is that?”
"What does King Hun want with so much gold?”
“......”
When the soldiers saw the golden shimmering gold, their eyes immediately widened. Their breathing quickened and they kept swallowing their saliva.
They had never seen so much money in their lives.
Although gold and silver could be exchanged, in comparison, it was obvious that gold had a stronger visual impact.
