Back in the cabinet, Liu Jian finally recovered some of his spirits. He knew very well that Empress Dowager Zhang endured the grief and had a great relationship with what he said. Rescuing the emperor was no longer the most important option at the moment. How to calm the demons was the top priority.

Tianjin Guards cannot be lost, and the capital must not make any mistakes. They must stabilize the hearts of the people and mobilize troops to help the king. In addition, they must also make the worst plans. If the demon soldiers really bring news of the emperor being captured, a new throne ceremony will be held immediately. The crown prince, the weak Zhu Zaiyao, must ascend the throne immediately.

At this time, Liu Jian said seriously: "Don't rush to dispatch troops, release scouts first. All scouts, including the Jinyiwei and the people from the East and West Factory, will be released. The generals of Shanhaiguan will be transferred to Beijing immediately. The three major camps in the Beijing will assist in the defense of the capital, and ordered the Warriors camp to be responsible for the defense in the palace. Do you... have any insights?"

Everyone was silent. This was obviously the best way. Haunted dispatch of troops would only give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. Since there is no rush to rescue you now, this is the best way.

The panic in the capital continued, especially the troops in the capital began to be mobilized. At first, some people thought it was just a rumor, but now no one dared to laugh at it anymore.

So the atmosphere became tense, and some people began to want to go west, and there were people who had nowhere to go, waiting in fear and anxiety for everything that might happen next.

In the capital, the gates of each gate were closed, and in this Beijing city, apart from the inner and outer cities, more people live in the suburbs.

Over the past century, the scale of the capital city has been expanding. The original Beijing city has long been unable to accommodate such a population. Therefore, most of the poor households live outside the city, with markets and countless neighbors, but there is no protection of the city wall. The people in the city are still more at ease, but people outside the city feel that they are in danger. Outside the Chaoyang Gate, there are 17 neighbors, nearly 60,000 to 70,000 people. Some people pack up their bags and go to the countryside to take refuge. Many people stay, but most of them are dead.

I don’t know if the demon soldiers will come. If they really come, I don’t know what it will look like?

The fear was obvious, and even the market was deserted. The butcher Zhao, who sold pork, closed the stall early and couldn't help but curse in a low voice. He was actually very brave, but he was not afraid of any demon soldiers. In his words, if the demon soldiers really dared to come, I would dare to fight to the death. It would be just a life. But even though he made a harsh word, he still sent his wife and son to the countryside. When he returned to the yard where he lived, he found that many people gathered at the gate of his own courtyard, all of whom were left and right neighbors. He greeted them, but saw Mr. Zhao, who taught the museum, saying, "You are here, and you are all waiting for you."

"What's wrong?" Mr. Zhao is his son's teacher. Zhao Butcher has always respected him. He took a few kilograms of pigs tied with wheat straw and said, "It's great, what are you looking for me to do?"

"For the sake of the demon soldiers, all the gates of the capital are closed now. We are not at risk to defend. Do you still know the Tumu Fort Incident? At that time, the Oirats attacked the capital, and the people outside our city were in trouble. I don't know how many people died at that time. We have been thinking about it, but you are the most brave. If the demon soldiers come at that time..."

Seeing these neighbors looking at themselves with anticipation, Zhao Butcher couldn't help but curse: "Hmph, it's so annoying to say that. This huge court is really ridiculous. With so many soldiers in it, now that the demon soldiers are coming, we will keep us out..."

Mr. Zhao hurriedly said, "Be careful of your words."

"Be careful, just say it." Zhao Butcher Zhao became angry and continued with anger: "Now my life is hard to save, why are you still careful? It's said that the emperor is stupid and the traitor is in power. Isn't that the case? Thinking about it, it's really cold. When the demon soldiers arrive, we will lose our lives, so what are you afraid of."

After hearing this, many people nodded, all thinking that what Zhao Butcher said made sense.

Mr. Zhao's face became awkward. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't say it. He had to sigh heavily and said, "Yes, this is not a solution. I heard that the emperor is indeed a little bit naughty today, and..."

These poor people have long been resentful. There is always a need for a vent of dissatisfaction. When everyone was just trying to curse, they suddenly came quickly in the distance.

Now whenever I hear the fast horse, many people can't help but hold their ears, but I don't know what bad news will come.

So at this time, many people followed the sound and went to the street. Zhao Butcher led the way. Sure enough, he saw a fast horse from Tianjin Guard swaying across the city. The man not only rode his horse, but also shouted: "Great victory, great victory..."

The rules of the government have always been like this. Any good news is needed to "report good news". The fast horse that reports good news needs to be shouted all the way.

Now that I heard about the great victory, many people were shocked.

Then he heard the man continue to yell: "Three thousand demon soldiers are coming, and Your Majesty personally led 600 new troops in the country to defeat the enemy. Your Majesty defeated the demon soldiers and killed countless thieves. The demon soldiers were defeated and were completely wiped out. Long live my emperor!"

Suddenly, the neighbors nearby seemed to be in an uproar, and everyone was excited.

A great victory?

The demon army was defeated?

Doesn’t this mean that everyone can live a peaceful life again?

Mr. Zhao was the happiest, even his face became shiny, and he stroked his beard, couldn't stop smiling, and shook his head and said, "It's great, I finally wiped out those hateful demon soldiers. Your Majesty personally fought? Why don't I know this? Oh... I wiped out three thousand demon soldiers with six hundred. Tsk tsk, this is really your Majesty's blessing, it is the blessing of the ancestors. Our Ming Dynasty is destined to have a prosperous country..."

Many people were also overjoyed and said yes. Some people were even more excited and smiled. But Zhao Butcher didn't have any joy. Instead, they frowned and said with suspicion: "I haven't heard of His Majesty's personal expedition before, let alone... I've long heard about the ability of those demon soldiers. They are invincible in the world. In Quanzhou, tens of thousands of troops could not resist. Isn't there any news that Tianjin Wei is vulnerable? Why are they completely wiped out in the blink of an eye? Is there something strange here? I don't think so. If this is the case, why would the imperial court be afraid of demon soldiers? How could Quanzhou be defeated? Zhenguo New Army has some ability. I know this, but if it is said that 600 Zhenguo New Army can defeat three thousand demon soldiers, I feel it hard to believe it. Isn't this... a lie."

In fact, when everyone heard the news first, they were all happy, but when they were reminded by the words of Butcher Zhao, they immediately stopped smiling and became suspicious.
