"It happened!"

     "The rebels are attacking the city!"

     The prefect of Changning Mansion panicked immediately.

     He immediately looked to the left and right: "Where is the master? Didn't he ask those gentry and wealthy households to send their servants over to help defend? Why haven't you seen anyone coming over yet?"

     And at this moment, the master he was talking about, a middle-aged man with a fat face and a fat body, ran over panting: "Master, I'm back, master..."

     The magistrate looked directly behind him: "Where is the person, where is the person?"

     The master said angrily: "No, no one, Mr. Chen and the others, they are not willing to send people to help defend."

     "They also said, anyway, even if the rebels take down the city, they won't commit any crimes, so why don't we surrender first, and then take it slowly, so as to avoid unnecessary casualties..."

     ——This is the genius of the rebels.

     Know how to attract people's hearts.

     "Shameless!"

     But the prefect scolded angrily, trembling with his fingers: "They are treason, this is treason, I must report it to the chief envoy and the court..."

     But it is useless to say these now.

     Seeing the soldiers coming towards here continuously in the distance, the prefect's voice stopped abruptly.

     He could only turn his head suddenly to look at Yang Zhengqing who was at the side: "Marquis Yang, what should we do now?"

     Yang Zhengqing also looked solemn: "Mobilize the people to defend the city, and send people to ask for help from other state capitals."

     "No matter what, the rebels cannot be allowed to capture Changning Mansion."

     Changning Mansion is okay, because this is the border of the previous dynasty, so a relatively strong city wall was built, but from Changning Mansion to the west, it is a flat plain, and most of the city walls on it are not high. Once Changning Mansion If it is breached, half of the northwest will become the back garden of the rebels.

     The prefect gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

     Then Yang Zhengqing changed his voice: "How much property is there in the treasury of the Changning Mansion?"

     He looked at the rebels below, and from their barely neat formation, it could be seen that before this, most of them were a group of ordinary people who had never been to the battlefield.

     And the reason why they joined the rebels was because they were dying.

     So as long as they can see the hope of living, they may put down the sword in their hands.

     Unexpectedly, the magistrate said: "If you go back to Lord Hou, there is only less than one thousand taels of silver left in the treasury of the Changning Mansion."

     "You forgot that the imperial court sent you to Shandong for disaster relief, but the Ministry of Household Affairs couldn't come up with any money, so they ordered the nearby counties to transfer money and food from the treasury to help Shandong. So five days ago, the lower officials sent people to Take out all the thirty thousand taels of silver left in the treasury and send it to Shandong."
