In Tongzhou, the news of the invasion of the Tartars has long been known here. From officials, gentry, and ordinary people, most of them are in panic, as if the end of the world is about to come.

When a young man in a scholar's outfit walked out of the prefect's office, several young figures immediately surrounded him.

"Brother Weiheng, how about this trip?"

"Did you see the prefect?"

"It's almost a brutal fire. Our prefect is fine. Many of us, including the righteous people, want to form a righteous team to defend our country, but we can't even meet each other once."

…………

With the initial inquiry from several people, I found that the scholar pretended to be a young man with a bitter face, and someone immediately started to curse again.

This scholar pretends to be young and has the highest prestige among the young and strong. Although he has not passed the scholar in his 20s and is not even a child, this does not prevent everyone from sincerely admiring this man named Yan Yingyuan and Ziheng.

Yan Yingyuan's family is from an ordinary family. After taking the imperial examination several times, he often passed the county exam, but he would be eliminated when he was in the prefecture exam.

In the Ming Dynasty, only after passing the county examination and the government examination can he be called a Tongsheng and qualified to take the college examination and the scholar. Yan Yingyuan did not have the ability to take the scholar examination, but was a great man who was young and energetic. As long as the big man remembered that he would think about passing the palace examination, it would be very difficult.

Don’t think it’s strange. At the end of the dynasty during the Chongzhen period, the imperial examination system had already been messed up in a mess. For example, the famous Fushe gradually had the right to control the imperial examination in the south of the Yangtze River and even control the promotion and appointment of officials in the court.

Once you offend some noble people in the capital, it will be easy to prevent your future as a young scholar.

Yan Yingyuan yelled when he saw injustice. He spoke up for justice when a powerful man bullied the good man and prevented the other party from forcing the woman to seize the civilian woman. Then he was called by the powerful man to Tongzhou Academy and the chief examiner of the government examination...

Now the family of female girls who were rescued by him have long disappeared. They probably forgot his benefactor when they moved to the capital, but he, a righteous man, has become a famous person in the academic affairs department and has long become a person who is difficult to obtain even the fame of children.

This almost cuts off the reading path.

Even so, Yan Yingyuan's talent, whether talking about literature or martial arts, was slightly famous in Tongzhou Prefecture, at least convinced many people and achieved fame.

This time, when he suddenly heard that the Tartars invaded and came all the way to the capital, Yan Yingyuan even took the initiative to stand up and called on neighbors and even some wealthy families to contribute their efforts to defend their hometown.

However, he wanted to do such a thing, and was targeted by the government from the beginning. The yamen in the prefect's yamen said it very clearly. You can form a team of righteous people to surround your hometown and defend Tongzhou, but you have to get permission from the prefect's yamen.

I heard that even in the capital, there were many Yimins forming a team to defend the capital, but that was carried out with the permission and support of many officials in the capital.

Without the order from the prefectural office, what do you want to do to form a militia? Do you rebel? Or will you wait for the Tartars to kill to Tongzhou to support the Tartars?

Then, Yan Yingyuan visited the prefect's office again and again, and could not even see anyone again and again. He has been wasting his time since October and has been fruitless.

In this matter, it cannot be said that the yamen runners in the prefect's office were wrong. Even if the Tartars invaded and the capital was in danger, the soldiers and horses from all over the country would have to receive the emperor's order to serve the king before they dared to serve the king. Without the order to serve the king, you will move around. Do you believe it or not, there will be a huge consequence waiting for you?

Later, Zhu Youjian, the King of Tang in official history, was a role model. In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Ajige invaded the capital again. Zhu Youjian wrote a letter to raise an army to defend the king, but was rejected by Zhu Youjian. Zhu Youjian was so loyal that he had spent his family and recruited troops. In November, he abolished Zhu Youjian as a commoner.

Then from being imprisoned in the ninth year of Chongzhen to the 16th year of Chongzhen, although there was a battle before the Jingnan period and the Ming Dynasty was extremely afraid of the military power of the vassal kings, it also shows that when something happened, you must have orders before you can do things, especially in forming an army.

On the streets at this moment, Yan Yingyuan was not really surprised by the yamen runners who stopped him from forming a volunteer team to defend his country, but felt that the government office was too fucked.

Even if he is a sage, even if he is not qualified to meet a prefect under normal circumstances, it is time to visit him many times, and take all his money to bribe the magistrate's office. He just hopes that they will have a few more words to give themselves a chance to meet the prefect and talk about the defense of Tongzhou. He has not been able to meet again until now.

The brows are burning.

Who knows when you wake up, will you receive news that the Tartars have taken Zunhua, or even worse and more terrifying news?

"Everyone, I still haven't seen the prefect this time, but please don't be discouraged. Although my military preparations in Tongzhou have been slackening for many years, it is very likely that disaster will occur once the Tartars besiege the city. However, the emperor's army and horses in various places are not decorations. It won't be long before the Liaodong army will come to help."

"Even if we cannot form a group to protect ourselves, when the army of kings arrives, we will do our best to contribute or make money, which will help our emperor to fight against the great cause of Tartar."

Just as Yan Yingyuan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and spoke to comfort a group of friends, there was a sound of fast horses on the street in the distance, and there were even more exclaims like anime.

Yan Yingyuan and others turned around and saw several monks wearing Dongchang clothing coming on horseback.

A group of young scholars were a little confused. The Tianqi Chaodongchang manuscripts were powerful all over the world, and they were a terrifying existence that everyone was afraid of. They could stop children from crying at night. However, since last year, the Jinyiwei and even the Dongchang gradually lost their presence and almost disappeared from people's minds.

After a moment of confusion, Yan Yingyuan and others changed their faces again, and they were busy making the road for fear of missing the itinerary of those stories.

What is surprising is that after the leader arrived in this area, Fanzi suddenly stood on his horse. When the horse controlled the horse stood firm nearby, Fanzi turned over and dismounted, and then there was a neat sound of dismounting.

The leader also shouted, "Who is Yan Yingyuan and Yan Xuheng?"

When the eyes of several young men beside Yan Yingyuan looked frightened, Yan Yingyuan took a step with his face unchanged, "It's me."

The first one looked up and down and said in a strange tone, "Tongzhou Yan Yingyuan received the order."

“…”

Everyone was stunned. Ordinary scholars from the East Factory were also qualified to pass the imperial edict? At least they had to have a eunuch. Ordinary scholars bypassed the eunuch and announced the imperial eunuch. Isn’t this in accordance with the rules?

When Yan Yingyuan knelt down in a daze to receive the order, the monk said, "Your Majesty's verbal order, I heard that Yan Yingyuan of Tongzhou is a great talent, and he is very good at transferring the Beijing camp to listen to the announcement."

Zhu Youjian's spoken language is very simple, but the impact this brought to the few people present was unprecedentedly huge.

Yan Yingyuan himself was also dizzy. Why did his name be passed to the emperor? He also called himself a talented person and was of great use to transfer to the Beijing camp?
