Under the protection of Song San and other officials, Zhu Guorong finally ran to the governor's yamen, but learned that the governor Li Shutai was not in the yamen, but went to the Pingnan palace half an hour ago.
The governor's yamen is in the east city, the prefect's yamen is in the west city, but the Pingnan palace is in the north city, Zhu Guorong was in a hurry, he knew that the governor had gone to the Pingnan palace, he should have gone directly to the Pingnan palace, instead of running to the governor's yamen in the east city The situation on the Governor's Yamen side is not optimistic, and there are Diao people everywhere who are shouting for the arrival of the Ming soldiers, and I don't know how many Diao people have to do with the people.
Zhu Guorong was very worried that there were spies of the Taiping Army among these Diao people, otherwise why would there suddenly be such a big trouble.
He was not worried that the Taiping army would really enter the city, because it was impossible, and the three-way army of the Qing army had surrounded the Taiping army in Xiangshan, and it was impossible for them to grow wings and fly to Guangzhou.
At present, the top priority is to immediately quell the rebellion of the Diao people and minimize the losses, especially not to let the chaos spread to the whole city, otherwise he will be considered to have done the end of the Guangzhou government.
The current person in charge of the governor's yamen is Wang Zhangjun, who was just transferred from the prefect of Huizhou a month ago, and is an official who is easy to panic when things happen, has no opinions, and has little courage.
When the chaos first started, Wang Zhangjun was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, and he was so anxious in the house that the person who supervised the standard came to ask him what to do, and he didn't say a word of rice and beans for a long time.
Zhu Guorong's arrival made Wang Zhangjun see the savior, he knew that Zhu Guorong was quite capable and had ideas, so he pulled Zhu Guorong and said urgently: "Diao people are all over the city, and the governor has gone to the king of Pingnan again, Lord Zhu, you hurry up and get an idea for the official, you can't let Diao people destroy the city of Guangzhou."
Zhu Guorong was also very annoyed in his heart, and just wanted Wang Zhangjun to quickly summon the governor to suppress the chaotic people, but there was a sudden sound of earth-shattering shouts of killing outside, and the two of them were shocked: Could it be that Diao Min was entangled together to attack the governor's yamen Zhu Guorong was also a little panicked, he was not afraid that Diao Min would attack the Governor's Yamen, but that he was afraid that Diao Min would be surrounded in the Yamen, so that he would not be able to get in touch with the Governor.
He asked Song San to go to the front to see if it was possible for the superintendent to kill the Diao people outside, and then let him go to the Pingnan Palace.
Not long after Song San went, he ran to report with a panicked face: "My lord, it's not Diao Min who is making trouble outside, it's Taiping Kou, it's Taiping Kou, the Ming soldiers really killed them They are attacking the gate of the Yamen, and the people who supervise the standard are blocking them, but the small ones are afraid that they can't stand it, my lord, it's not safe here, let's go quickly."
"Taiping Kou has really entered the city" Wang Zhangjun was so frightened by Song San's words that his face turned white, and he felt that his head was dizzy, and the world was spinning.
After half a sound, he stabilized his body and pulled Zhu Guorong, with a crying tone in his words, almost begging: "Lord Zhu, you take someone to block the Taiping Kou outside, and the official will go to the Pingnan Mansion to move the rescue soldiers." ” I didn't want Zhu Guorong to shake him off, snorted, and said: "It's still Lord Wang, you take someone to block the Taiping Kou, and the official will go to the Pingnan Mansion to move the rescue soldiers" After speaking, he walked to the backyard without looking back, and said to Song San as he walked: "This mansion treats you well on weekdays, and today you have to ensure that this mansion arrives at Pingnan Mansion safely, if this mansion is safe, you will ensure that your whole family is rich" "Don't worry, adults, even if you die, you have to escort adults safely."
Song San, like his younger brother Song Wu, is also an outlaw, and he knows the truth of seeking wealth and danger, if he can really keep Zhu Guorong safe this time, he will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life At that moment, Song San led a group of subordinates to escort Zhu Guorong to the backyard of the governor's yamen, and saw so many men with knives rushing in, although they were all dressed in official clothes, and the leader was Zhu Guorong, the prefect of Guangzhou, but the maid and the servants in the house were still screaming in fright.
Zhu Guorong didn't bother to pay attention to these subordinates of the Governor's Palace, he was afraid that the Taiping Army would send someone to block the back door, so he asked Song San to find a chair to put together, and forced him to escape over the wall.
The servants of the Governor's Mansion still didn't know what was going on, but when they saw Lord Zhu of the Guangzhou Governor coming out of the wall, and then listening to the movement in front of them, they reacted, and suddenly, the mansion was in chaos, and the people were scurrying around in the mansion like headless flies.
Some of the strong male servants also learned from the gang of officials in Guangzhou Mansion to escape over the wall, and the maids were thin, so how could they have the strength to climb over the wall, so they could only cry and go to find their wife.
The screams of the subordinates alarmed Hong Shiming, who was studying in the study, he originally lived in the post house, and later Li Shutai invited him to live in the house, and originally returned to Beijing after waiting for the Guangdong Township Examination, but because of the Taiping Army raging near Guangzhou, the matter of the Guangdong Township Examination could not be finalized for a long time, and Hong Shiming had no choice but to continue to stay in Guangzhou.
This book is well read, but there is a lot of noise outside, Hong Shiming couldn't help frowning, I don't know how the subordinates recruited by Li Shutai are so unruly, this is to be placed in his Hong family, and he has already been dragged out and beaten to death.
"What's going on?"
Hong Shiming pushed open the window and saw a girl running towards the inner courtyard with a frightened face, so he called her to stop.
The maid heard the steward say Hong Shiming's identity, so she stopped crying and said: "Taiping Kou came to the city, the master went to the Pingnan Palace, everyone was frightened, many people went over the wall and walked away Hong Gongzi, you also run, the Wang steward said that the soldiers in front of him are afraid that they will not be able to stop Taiping Kou, if they let them enter the mansion, knowing your identity as Gongzi, they will definitely arrest the slave and maid who went to find your wife now, you go quickly."
After saying that, the girl ran towards the inner courtyard in a panic.
The Taiping army entered the city of Guangzhou Hong Shiming was so shocked that the book fell under the eaves of the window, and stared blankly at the back of the girl who was far away.
At the gate of the Governor's Palace, more than 100 battalion soldiers were guarding the gate, but there were more and more Taiping troops outside, and the sound of guns could be heard from time to time.
Leading the team was Qin Cheng, the chief official of Qian, who was born in the Li family's clothed slave and was loyal to Li Shutai.
Seeing that there were too many Taiping troops outside, he had one hundred and ten soldiers under his command, and he was afraid that he would not be able to stop the Taiping army from entering the mansion, so he took a few personal soldiers to protect his wife and escaped.
On the way, he bumped into Wang Zhangjun, and then looked at this right-hand politician, who had already taken off his official uniform and changed into a civilian clothes.
Qin Cheng opened his mouth to say something, but Wang Zhangjun waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave him alone, seeing this, Qin Cheng sighed, gritted his teeth and led people to the inner courtyard to find his wife.
The catastrophe is coming, and the official runs faster than anyone else t1706231537:
