When the city defenders arrived at the Governor's Mansion, they were stunned by the sight in front of them.
I saw the masters from Baichuan Academy sitting cross-legged on the futons, row after row.
At the end of them, there were two masters standing holding banners.
【Who knows that I will suffer from the side court, even if I die, I can still smell the fragrance of the chivalrous bones! 】
The masters are all dressed in white, with a white ribbon tied on their forehead.
In the center of the white ribbon are two big red letters "Please fight"!
The masters didn’t say a word, but their proudly erect backbones all told their desire to fight!
Xia Lezhi's family and his classmates walked through the city gate of Fuming Town and came to the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
The children didn't say anything, they just silently picked up their own futons, placed them next to the Master, and then sat cross-legged.
They are small in body, but their eyes are so determined.
Among the people watching, some brought them tea and water, but more of them joined the sit-in group.
The spacious road in front of the Governor's Mansion was instantly packed to the brim.
In the end, there was no place to sit, and the people who joined behind stood there quietly, refusing to leave.
The soldiers guarding the city could not squeeze in. Looking at the scene in front of him, he was greatly shocked in his heart.
In every battle to defend the city in the past, the soldiers rushed to the front, and all the common people who could escape fled.
They really couldn't leave, so they joined the defense of the city together.
This is the first time that the people in the city are demanding war!
Wen Yu led his interview team from "Yunzhou Weekly" to shuttle among the crowd for interviews.
Some painters climbed onto the roofs of surrounding shops and recorded the shocking scene with their brushes.
The universe is clear and cloudless.
At this moment, it seemed that even the wind had stopped.
Squeak!
The door of the Governor's Mansion slowly opened.
As soon as Gu Nanxi came out, she saw countless pairs of eyes filled with aggrievedness, anger and unwillingness.
Gu Nanxi's gaze scanned the crowd from left to right. The pairs of eyes embedded in the faces of those who were young, old, rich, or poor were so similar!
Without any words, Gu Nanxi understood the demands of these people.
Suddenly, there was a little commotion in the crowd, and the crowd retreated to both sides, leaving a path for one person only.
A row of women and children dressed in mourning clothes, with hemp ropes tied around their waists and white flowers on their heads, holding the memorial tablets of their relatives in their hands, squeezed through the crowd and arrived in front of the governor's mansion.
The leader is a delicate and pretty woman with enchanting figure.
Gu Nanxi remembered her that one of the casualties of the Yunzhou cavalry during the last time they regained the major tribes in the grassland was this woman's newly married husband.
Seeing Gu Nanxi's eyes falling on her, the woman knelt on the ground and looked back at Gu Nanxi with burning eyes.
She said sonorously and forcefully: "Sir, I am willing to join the army for my husband, and I swear to protect Yunzhou's boundary monument from retreating!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a switch was flipped, and the people It exploded with a bang.
"That's right, General, we can't retreat! If we retreat five hundred miles today and another five hundred miles tomorrow, will Yunzhou be cut off from us in the future?"
< br>"If we can't fight and the Tatars invade our homeland, then I have nothing to say! Because at that time, I will definitely die on the battlefield! But now, without even using a knife, we are asked to retreat five hundred miles. I’m not convinced!”
"Yes, we are not convinced!"
"General, the Sixteenth Province of Youyun is a lesson learned from the past!"
"The imperial court abandoned our five hundred miles of land in Yunzhou today for the sake of peace talks! For the sake of peace talks next year, will we also Are we going to be cut off like the Youyun Sixteenth Prefecture?" "I would rather die than become a bastard of the Tatars!"
"Only Yunzhou will die in battle! There are no kneeling Yunzhou people!”
"General, you said that we won't give up an inch of Yunzhou's land!"
"General, the people in the south are afraid of death, but we are not! Anyway, we will die one day, so we might as well die vigorously. !”
At this time, Shopkeeper Xia also walked out.
He knelt on the ground and raised the wooden box he was holding high: "Xia Laosan of Huaishuo Town pays homage to the general! This is the entire wealth of my Xia family. I am willing to dedicate it all to the general. , used as military supplies!”
Isn’t the imperial court unwilling to send troops or give money?
Yunzhou will hire its own people and pay for it!
"General, the Tan family in Fuming Town is also willing to give all his wealth!"
"General, the Wu family in Woye Town is also willing to give all his wealth!"
The other people roared loudly, and the veins on their necks bulged.
“We have no money, but we can save our lives! After all, the Tatars want us to move the boundary marker south, so just step on our bones!”
"That's right, we Yunzhou people are guarding this border anyway. As long as we Yunzhou people are not dead, the Tatars will never even think of stepping into our land!"
Wen Yu wiped away tears and recorded it truthfully. Get rid of it all.
No need for writing or skills, because all of this has strong enough emotions to resonate with all Yunzhou people!
As if they felt that the hot oil in the pot was not hot enough, the crowd moved to both sides again to make way for them.
This time, trucks came one after another.
In the car, there were 70-year-old people lying on the bed unable to move, and there were also middle-aged men with empty trousers.
They lay on the cart and shouted loudly.
"Push us to the Yunzhou boundary monument! If I die, you will bury me there! When will you get these five hundred miles back, and when will you burn paper for me again!"
There was a choking sob from the crowd.
The cry is forbearing, but it tightly tugs at the listener's heart.
The people of Yunzhou have suffered from wars and separations throughout their lives.
They are the people who most desire peace in the world.
But they know that facing the wolf, they cannot retreat or run away. Taking a step back will lead to an abyss!
General Gu Nanxi finally made Yunzhou’s straightened spine no longer bend!
Gu Nanxi’s heart felt heavy as she met the eyes.
Since knowing the emperor's will, Gu Nanxi has tossed and turned, unable to sleep day and night.
In the silent night, Gu Nanxi asked herself countless times, with Yunzhou's current strength, could it be possible for one state to resist the Tatar army of hundreds of thousands?
For the sake of national integrity, does Gu Nanxi have the heart to displace tens of thousands of people in Yunzhou?
If Yunzhou resists the imperial decree and disrespects it, will Gu Nanxi have the courage to face the responsibility of all people in the world and insist on her choice?
Be patient for a while and everything will be calm.
Do you want to be patient? Can you tolerate breast hyperplasia and depression?
However, the words of Ma Nantian and the Ma family often come to mind.
The Dingbei Road in Fuming Town is like a whip, reminding me all the time that there are still sixteen states in the north, eagerly looking forward to returning home.
Ma Nantian said: "General, after the people of Wuzhou learned that the boundary monument was moved five hundred miles north, they held several celebrations in private!" "Yunzhou Weekly" has been carefully collected by many people. Our ancestors take it out and take a look at it from time to time." (End of this chapter)
