Chapter 401 The Wind Rises
The world is dark, and compared with the hustle and bustle of the Shou Palace, the entire capital is also silent.
Since the Emperor of Heaven personally led the expedition, the capital city has strictly implemented the strict curfew system. There is no one on the streets, but there are still fires on the towers. The old and weak guards who stayed in the capital city are still faithfully performing their duties.
"We have been slashed by the Tartars since we were cut off, and the day has become a little colder, and we can't stand it!"
"It hurts to use some gravity!"
Above Deshengmen, Hou Qiang, a Beijing army bravely camped in Qianhu, leaned against the fire and beat his legs, grinning in pain.
"Or otherwise I can't stand this leg. What if I say, this time, we can follow His Majesty to go to the battle to kill a few Tartars!"
"I remember back then, let's follow His Majesty and chase the Later Jin chief Nurhaci, and the battle was so tragic. Your Majesty has great martial arts skills. He is a single horse and a cavalry. He leads our thousand brothers and kills Nanurhaci from the lieutenant general. We mentioned Nanurhaci's head for His Majesty..."
"Let's tell you, Nurhaci is really dead with his eyes open. He has pigtails on his head, his eyes widened, and then lime is applied. It looks so fuckingly cunning..."
As he was talking, Hou Qiang couldn't help but sigh:
"Otherwise, our legs are not good, and we can win a title over the years..."
Hou Qiang kept talking about these things that he had boasted countless times, and the soldiers on the side were also helpless. This matter was novel for the first time, but after listening to it for a long time, his ears were about to be called out.
Hou Qiang glanced at the soldiers who were approaching the fire and said to himself:
"But let's tell you, don't think that staying in the capital will make everything go well!"
"The situation is full of chaos now. Today is the opposite, tomorrow is the chaos, and this capital city will be in chaos at any time!"
"We are also shouldering important tasks!"
Hearing this, the soldiers present were also very serious.
They guarded the city gates and saw people entering the capital every day. The news they contacted was also everywhere. Today, listening to this turmoil and that mutiny news, tomorrow they heard someone rebelled again...
Even if you don’t understand the truth, you can’t understand the direction of the world. But... you will rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel against the rebel!
And King Shou is in the capital!
Those sour, smelly and disgusting civil officials are also in the capital!
A hundred households said with concern:
"Your Majesty is in charge of the army, and all the troops of the capital follow His Majesty to go out. In addition to our thousand households, there are also soldiers and horses in the Yongwei Battalion, and only some old and weak troops are left in each unit."
"If something really happens to this little force, it may not be able to suppress it!"
"Yes, the main force is with His Majesty on the frontier, the capital, it's too empty..."
The other generals also agreed.
"Don't worry about it."
Hou Qiang smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty has a plan and a brilliant plan. How could you not be prepared? Don't worry!"
Hearing this, several generals were stunned. Looking at Hou Qiang who was smiling mysteriously, a hundred households couldn't help but ask, "Sir, do you know what do you know?"
"We didn't say anything, and we didn't know anything!"
Hou Qiang was still smiling mysteriously, then, as if he didn't want his generals to ask questions, he immediately said: "Don't ask, you really will..."
Halfway through, Hou Qiang's expression suddenly changed, and then he suddenly stood up, his eyes instantly frozen in the darkness in the city.
"alert!"
"Send the order, all soldiers gather immediately! Get ready for battle!"
Hou Qiang looked nervous and almost shouted.
The generals were puzzled, but soon, the faint flashing fire in the darkness and the sound of horse hooves answered everything.
Under the curfew system, all ministries stayed in Beijing and were not allowed to act without any order. At this time, I ignored the curfew system and rode the capital city, and at this scale...
In an instant, the expressions of the generals changed.
"gather!"
"Everyone, gather!"
Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!
The soldiers shouted, the war drums standing on the city tower, and the rumbling sounds under the ringing also completely tear through the silence of the night sky.
"kill!"
"Punish the Li thief and restore the mountains and rivers!"
"kill!"
In the vast darkness, the sound of killing sounds suddenly rang out.
Soon, I saw soldiers and horses like tides surging towards Deshengmen on the streets.
"It's from the Five City Military and Ma Si, the Five City Military and Ma Si has rebelled!"
"Hurry, send someone to the Jinyiwei Office immediately and report this to Gong Jing!"
Hearing this, there were already frightened soldiers and generals, but they were all stunned at this moment. Duke Jingguo is in the capital?
"Brothers, don't panic. Your Majesty has long anticipated the wolves' ambitions of these beasts. Duke Jingguo has arrived in the capital under His Majesty's secret order!"
"Ten thousand elite troops have also been transferred outside the capital and can enter the capital at any time!"
"Rebellious people cannot become great people!"
"In this battle, Daheng will win!"
"Brothers, it's time to make achievements and repay the emperor's kindness!"
"After this thousand households, kill the thieves!"
A shout resounded throughout the night sky, and bloody murder also came to the capital city tower.
At this time, it was not just Deshengmen, the palace Meridian Gate, the capital Guangning Gate, Yongding Gate, the Ordnance Department Ordnance Factory, Ordnance Warehouse, and the Ministry of Revenue Treasury Granary...
All important places are bloody battles.
The rebellious Five-City Military Office, the servants and tenants of the wealthy families in the capital, and the craftsmen and guards under the Ministry of Works...
The so-called royal army, which held high the banner of restoring the Ming Dynasty, launched a sudden raid in all major places in the capital under the command of the court officials.
The long night was silent, and under the sudden blood, it was completely torn apart.
The capital, which has been turbulent and bloody for a long time, once again fell into chaos and blood.
"What a big scene!"
The Jinyiwei Office, Xu Feng, dressed in military uniform, held the military information sent by each department, sighed with emotion, and then looked at Li Ruolian with interest: "You Jinyiwei did not notice such a big battle. You, Lord Li, can't hide from this crime of dereliction of duty!"
Li Ruolian's expression was obviously ugly: "The East Factory is too deeply rooted."
"The plate of Jinyiwei is too big, but the East Factory is different. It has always been operating this acre of three-part land in Beijing. It has been more than two hundred years of foundation and it is impossible to solve it in a short time..."
After saying that, Li Ruolian shook his head: "This time it is my dereliction of duty. When Your Majesty returns to the capital, I will go and apologize to Your Majesty!"
"You should talk to His Majesty these words."
Xu Feng chuckled, then his expression suddenly turned cold: "It's better to jump out. I'll take advantage of this time to kill a group of people, and the capital will be able to settle for a while."
Immediately, Xu Feng looked out the door and shouted:
"Come!"
"The last one will be here!"
Soon, several generals rushed in.
"Send the order and order Zhongwu Camp to enter the capital immediately and follow my governor to quell the rebellion!"
"I ordered the guards of the Northern Zhili to be martial law and wait for this order to transfer the order at any time!"
When the military order was issued, Xu Feng took a step forward, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at Li Ruolian: "I will handle the matter of suppressing the rebellion. I hope Lord Li will not make any mistakes again!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Jing!"
Li Ruolian clasped his fists and responded.
"OK!"
Without saying anything, Xu Feng walked out of the government hall a few steps, turned over his horse, and then rode away with a group of soldiers and generals...
