Chapter 793 Under One Person
"well."
The newlyweds have to get up early on the second day to offer tea to their parents (elders). Jia Mu knew that Baochai was doing it according to the rules and etiquette, and she was very satisfied.
I thought Jia Qing was so spoiled by her yesterday, and even brought her in the door. I was probably going to be even more pampered in the future. But I didn’t expect that Baochai was a very sensible person, so she would not be the bride who was “superficial”.
After taking the tea, he took a sip, Baochai picked up another cup, which was the cup that represented her.
Grandmother Jia also drank it and put it next to her.
Baochai bowed again, then got up and packed up her things.
Princess Beijing watched from beginning to end, and when Baochai left, she said to Mu Jia again: "I really didn't expect that the Xue family of the emperor's merchants actually raised such a girl."
Naturally, Jia Mu smiled and said a few more words, and she was also happy for Jia Qing.
With Jia Qing's identity becoming more and more expensive, the Xue family's door has become increasingly mismatched. But from today on, with so many unanimous praise from women, I believe that no one will ever make any comments on this.
The atmosphere of Ningguo Mansion was harmonious, and everyone was about to say goodbye and return home after a while. Suddenly, a shocking sound came.
It can be vaguely heard that it was the sound of the city gate being hit.
At this time, someone outside shouted, "No, there are rebels attacking the city again!"
Everyone was shocked.
......
"The eldest prince colluded with the Beijing camp, and the Jinyi Army rebelled. Prince Kang led his troops to help the king to suppress the rebellion. If anyone dared to stop, he would be punished with rebellion and would be killed without mercy!"
Under the gate of Xicheng, the vanguard general "suppresses rebellion" informed the people who defended the city with righteous words.
A quiet voice said: "I am the Grand Marshal of the current dynasty. You are stationed outside the capital. How dare you come to the city without receiving the imperial edict? Are you all trying to rebel?"
"The Prince Wang was joking. The safety of the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty is the first priority. Now that the rebellion has occurred in the capital, we should take the initiative to serve the king and protect the emperor, and then we will show our way of being a minister.
Is it because Wang Taiwei's obstruction like this that he has colluded with the rebels and plotted to usurp the throne?"
"It's ridiculous. I am the Grand Marshal of the Three Dukes and Grand Marshal, and I am ranked first-ranked. I have received his Majesty's kindness and was named Marquis! If I collude with the thief, who in the world believes me?
The soldiers of Beidaying and Nandaying, don’t be deceived by others! There was indeed a rebellion in the capital, but it has been quelled by His Majesty. Now the capital is restoring order.
Prince Kang led his troops to Beijing at this time, and he clearly had ulterior motives. All the soldiers were the troops of the Great Chu. They must not be deceived, become rebels, and implicate the nine clans!"
"Hahaha... It seems that Taiwei Wang has indeed colluded with the thief, but he is still here with a clever tongue!
The soldiers listened and took a step further. Perhaps the Supreme Emperor and His Majesty had already fallen into the hands of rebellion. At this time of crisis, it is time for us to serve the king and protect our ancestors and establish unparalleled achievements!"
The vanguard general laughed furiously, and after a strong morale, he commanded the army to attack the city.
After listening for a long time, the soldiers under the city still couldn't tell which side was true, but they were all soldiers, and there were rules in the army and military orders were as good as mountains.
If you stop at this time, you will disobey the military order. Disobeying the military order will lead to be beheading.
So, they can only move forward.
In this way, maybe you can really make achievements...
The ladder, the siege car, hit the wood, slowly approached the city gate...
......
On the tallest tower in the capital, Jia Qing looked at the scene in the distance with a telescope and searched for half a day and found Prince Kang's place.
"San'er, can the 'long neck' you made hit this distance?"
"Marty, this distance is too far. Even with a solid bullet, it is impossible to hit so far, let alone a fickle bullet. Unless the distance is twice as close as possible, you may try it if the small ones..."
The one who is called "San'er" is a firearm research genius recruited by Jia Qing from the people. He was an apprentice in a Folang Ji man in his early years. Later, he was recruited by Jia Qing and showed extraordinary talent in developing firearms, especially in artillery.
This "long neck" is a cannon he advocated to develop. Because its torso is more than ten feet long, it is called a long neck.
The characteristic is that the range is more than twice as far as the cannons before Dachu, and more importantly, they are fired with flower bullets.
You should know that most of the artillery in Dachu's previous artillery fired solid bullets, and they were mainly used to attack the city, because the killing area of solid bullets was too small. If combined with tiles, iron sheets, etc., it would affect the range...
In short, the previous artillery was quite restricted and its power was not satisfactory, so the Great Chu did not rely on artillery.
Jia Qing knew about this situation, so most of the results he developed were not announced to the public. He originally hoped to achieve a surprising victory.
He had thought before that if Prince Kang took advantage of his unpreparedness and killed him in one shot, he would soon avoid this battle?
Once he died, the rest of the rebels collapsed without fighting.
Unfortunately, although the other party did not avoid his whereabouts, he was too far away from the battlefield. The capital was surrounded again, and the sneak attack was not working for the time being.
"Mr. Marquis, do you want to move all the artillery onto the city wall to assist Taiwei Wang in defending the city?"
"No, remember, if you continue to send a message, guns with a range of more than 800 steps are not allowed to be out of the warehouse, only old-fashioned guns are used.
In addition, it is enough to bring out the two murderous intents of "sweet potato" and "sweet potato".
I have another plan!”
"Yes." San'er, Liu Xianglian and others responded.
After giving this matter, Jia Qing asked Zhao Donglai again: "How is Hu Yong going to go there?"
Zhao Donglai said: "Before, he brought people to attack the North Gate, but General Gao was prepared for it and we supported him in time, so he did not let him succeed. Now he has fled into Xiyuan with his remaining troops and resisted with the help of Xiyuan.
General Gao wanted to defend the north gate, so we did not attack hard because we were short of remaining troops. We just surrounded Xiyuan to prevent him from attacking again."
Jia Qing frowned.
Xiyuan is the largest royal garden in the capital. There are many palaces, pavilions, and there are many eunuchs and palace maids. Hu Yong and his group of defeated soldiers broke in, and they might instantly turn from royal gardens into Shura Garden.
Jia Qing felt a little unbearable.
But there is no way, this is a disaster for war! Since ancient times, this is the reason why soldiers are more frightened than bandits.
It’s not just Xiyuan. From last night to today, countless innocent people in the capital have died in an unfaithful life...
He had tried his best to control the chaos. But the capital was too big and the rebels dispersed, and he could not clean it up for a while.
Even at this moment, there are still a small number of rebels hiding everywhere and doing evil.
"Take out all the remaining artillery in the warehouse. I will go there in person and destroy this group of uncertain factors first."
After solving Hu Yong and his confidant subordinates, the capital city eliminated its worries, and all its troops were under his control.
......
The rumbling sound of cannons enveloped the black smoke from the periphery of this magnificent royal garden.
"Kill...!!"
The rebels inside did not organize effective resistance at all, so they were attacked by the Jinyi Army under Zhao Donglai, the Beijing Camp, and the fierce hand-to-hand combat began.
After all, the other party was not very morale and the number was too small. In just over half an hour, they died and were reduced.
This noble royal garden temporarily stopped the war.
"Mr. Marquis, catch Hu Yong."
"Kill." Jia Qing said lightly.
He is not a person who sticks to the rules, so there is no need to waste manpower to watch him and wait for the trial after the autumn.
Hu Yong was the commander of the imperial guards, but he still killed the cleanest.
Speaking of which, the imperial guards are not fewer than those in the Beijing camp. If you remove firearms, your combat effectiveness is even much stronger than that in the Beijing camp.
However, treason is treason, and not everyone will follow the head coach to rebel.
In addition, they were not loyal to the eldest prince to the death, and even abandoned the eldest prince at a critical moment and fled, which caused the original large imperial guard system to be divided and finally defeated by him one by one.
At this point, in addition to Wei Lize, who was still guarding the palace, the total number of two or three thousand imperial guards was destroyed overnight.
"Marty, Your Majesty has woken up and wants to see Mr.!"
The little eunuch led by Wang Sanjin rushed to Xiyuan and reported to Jia Qing.
Wang Sanjin was the first eunuch who had a good relationship with Jia Qing. After this battle, as long as Jia Qing could defend the capital, as long as he was not a person with a clear mind and few desires, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he would definitely become a powerful person who was under one person in the entire Great Chu.
But is Jia Qing a person with a clear mind and few desires?
No, because he is not stupid.
Therefore, Wang Sanjin was respectfully facing Emperor Zhengqing in front of him.
