Chapter 491
"Rebellion! Rebel! This group of Qiu Ba is about to rebel. Come here! Anyone who dares to rush into the study of the military department will be killed without mercy!" Ma Shiying roared immediately. A group of cannon fodder dared to stab you without weapons. I will chop you up without any discussion.
.Kill a few leaders, and the others behind will naturally die down.
"Yes! Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be killed without mercy." Ruan Dacheng also shouted.
"No!" The guard drew his knife and rushed out. Although the guns were confiscated, as the Minister of the Ministry of War, the guards' swords were not taken away. Officials should have official status. Zhang Huangyan, who was responsible for accepting surrender, saw this.
Got to be very heavy.
Soon there were screams outside the door, and the noise outside stopped for a moment. But soon, more screams began.
The soldiers were so angry that they just wanted to use me as cannon fodder. Isn't it just for money that they fight desperately? Now that the war is over, they will not allow robbery. It seems that they want to default on the debt.
You can rely on other people's debts because they don't have anyone in their hands. If you are a soldier, you dare to owe money. This is the rhythm of death. The fun of being a soldier is your life. Kill a few of the brothers in the front and the brothers behind.
I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly reacted. I started fucking the guy and rushed up!
Grab whatever is nearby, and whatever you grab is a weapon. If you are far away, grab rocks and bricks, throw them at the heads of those on the opposite side with your arms thrown away.
Although Ma Shiying's bodyguards were elite, they could not withstand the large number of people on the other side. Some people in front did not want to rush, but they were pushed forward by the people behind them. Ma Shiying's bodyguards chopped down one of them, but before they could draw out their knives, they were attacked by a group of people.
People were knocked down.
Countless big feet stepped on them without any distinction. At this time, even the martial arts masters were in vain. The door was lost in an instant. The captain of the guard looked at the turbulent flow of people, gritted his teeth, took out a hidden grenade, and pulled
Open the string and throw it into the crowd.
"Mr. Zhang! There was a lot of noise in Ma Shiying's camp, and there was another explosion just now." The battle was over and it had calmed down. Zhang Huangyan was washing his feet under the service of the maid, when suddenly the messenger ran in in a panic.
.
"Oh, haven't all their weapons and ammunition been confiscated? How could there be an explosion?" Zhang Huangyan suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining with light.
"Uh... I don't know, but the sound sounded like a grenade. I guess it was hidden when we collected it!"
"What a good excuse, I can't find any. I sent an order to Master Ao and Cao Wenzhao that Ma Shiying's troops mutinied. He also hid weapons secretly, so tonight's action is ahead of schedule." Zhang Huangyan was so happy that he surrendered his troops and mutinied. How wonderful.
What an excuse...!
Originally tonight, Zhang Huangyan took Sun Chengzong's handwriting and mobilized Ao Canghai and Cao Wenzhao to kill Ma Shiying's troops. Now there is no need to make excuses, they will come to the door themselves.
Zhang Huangyan knew that Li Xiao was not very willing to do this kind of killing of donkeys. But politics has always been about eradicating the roots. As a political force, Ma Shiying's army is their biggest reliance.
If you want to completely eliminate this political force, you must first eliminate their army. Since Li Xiao is unwilling to get blood on his hands, he has no choice but to do it for Zhang Huangyan.
Ao Canghai was very angry after beating Jinling. He wanted to be the first to rush into Jinling City and show his face, but he fought for a long time and finally managed to open the city gate. This time, the First Division did not show his face, but exposed his buttocks.
Already.
Cao Wenzhao had been simmering his anger in Yangzhou. That ghost place in Yangzhou had caused their third division to lose more than half of their regiment, making the brothers of the first and second divisions look down upon. It is estimated that Zu Dashou, who was so powerful in Guanzhong, was also secretly enjoying himself.
.As a division commander, Cao Wenzhao was filled with anger.
Now we have someone to vent our anger on. The anger between these two men is related to the Nanjing Forbidden Army. It feels very appropriate for the two uncles to vent their anger on their boss.
Only five minutes after Zhang Huangyan sent out the light signal, a hail-like mortar shell hit the head of Ma Shiying's men. It was obvious at a glance that these two men had been waiting for Zhang Huangyan's signal.
The noisy military camp was suddenly obscured by artillery fire and smoke.
Zhang Huangyan listened carefully, and at first he could still hear a few gunshots. Then it became noisy and he couldn't hear a few more. The maid helped wipe his feet, and Zhang Huangyan walked out of the military tent in peace.
The military camp in the distance was blazing with fire, and you could see the blazing flames in the darkness from a long distance away. These two guys must have used incendiary bombs. The whole military camp burned like a huge torch. Zhang Huangyan felt that if he stayed there
If you are a person in a military camp, even if you are not blown to death or burned to death, you will be roasted alive.
Under the blazing fire, people occasionally ran out. But those who ran out could only run for twenty or thirty meters, and then they were knocked down by a bullet flying from nowhere. But those guys with fire on their bodies,
No one would pay too much attention to the gunmen in the darkness, watching them scream and burn to the ground, continuing to burn.
As soon as Li Xiao walked out of the Daming Palace, he was frightened by the overwhelming artillery fire.
He knew Zhang Huangyan's old fox very well and Ma Shiying had tens of thousands of people under his command. This old fox would definitely be worried. In fact, the only thing that could make him feel relieved was dead people. He rushed out of the city tonight just because he was afraid that Zhang Huangyan would attack Ma Shiying.
The sound of artillery confirmed Li Xiao's judgment, and Zhang Huangyan took action anyway. Moreover, the attack was a killing move. With such fierce artillery fire, it is estimated that it would be difficult for Ma Shiying and his men to survive.
This is more than 20,000 people, not more than 20,000 pigs.
Standing on the tower and seeing the blazing fire in the distance, Li Xiao knew that it was too late.
It was obvious that the two men were venting their anger, and the bombardment lasted for a full hour. The entire military camp did not even have a complete wall, and the ruins of the wall were covered with burning wood and people, charred corpses, and human bodies scattered everywhere.
Component!
The men of the First Division and the Third Division were like hounds, searching for anyone who could still breathe. Unfortunately, they searched until the rooster crowed, but could not find a single living person. Not to mention living people, not even a few whole bodies were found.
Tool.
I have to say that Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng were lucky. It is estimated that the two brothers hid under the table during the bombardment. When the house was blown down, the two brothers were not injured at all. But the table is still a table after all, so when the whole house was bombed, they were not injured at all.
When the walls fell down, the table collapsed. The two adults under the table were naturally crushed to death.
Compared to the incomplete corpses outside, these two adults are really lucky.
At dawn, the battle report statistics came out. Not a single person was left alive, they were all killed. In terms of killing people and silencing them, it was quite efficient.
Looking at the corpses of Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng that were carried over, Li Xiao's face was so gloomy that water dripped from his face.
"Who told you to do this? It's unknown whether you will be killed or surrendered!"
Don't worry about this matter. Old Man Sun's handwriting is here. You can read it yourself. I'm just following orders!
Seeing Li Xiao's gloomy face, Zhang Huangyan sold Sun Chengzong without hesitation. The old bastard's idea was all his, if not, who would you sell to? You old man, you should have no problem wearing such a hat on your big head.
Li Xiao took the handwritten letter from Sun Chengzong with a gloomy face. The letter was written by Sun Chengzong himself. Judging from the tone of the letter, it was for Li Xiao. The words were very clear. People like Ma Shiying could not be let go. He knew that Li Xiao would not take action, so he
He was the one who made Zhang Huangyan move. He was responsible for everything and had nothing to do with Zhang Huangyan, Ao Canghai, and Cao Wenzhao. It was a completely all-inclusive attitude!
After reading Sun Chengzong's letter, Li Xiao could only swallow this breath. Even if he wanted to settle the score, he had to go back to the capital to settle the score with the old guy.
"The matter in Jinling is over. Marshal, you have to return to Beijing as soon as possible. There are many things waiting for Marshal to return to Beijing to deal with." Zhang Huangyan held his hands, but his attitude was very determined. That is, Li Xiao will not be allowed to stay in Jinling for any longer!
There really is nothing else to do while staying in Jinling!
"Things about Jiangnan...!"
"The matter in Jiangnan involves Yang Sichang. Counting the days, it will be here in three or two days. Mr. Sun means that Master Ao will accompany you back to the capital with the First Division. The Second Division and the Third Division continue to occupy Jiangnan. Although Master Man is
We are racing to enclose the territory, but after all, our forces are not stationed there.
These garrison divisions are designed to suppress the ground in Jiangnan. Our policy of allocating land in Shandong must be implemented in Jiangnan. Let Yang Sichang do these things, I will follow you back to Beijing to enjoy your happiness."
"Okay!" Li Xiao was about to go to Sun Chengzong, and he respected the old guy. But he could not get used to this problem by directly commanding the army without him.
Looking back at the dilapidated Jinling City, I realized that the price paid for this battle was too great. Let Yang Sichang take care of the affairs in Jiangnan. No matter how powerful he is, he is still alone. Such a huge country requires an astonishing number of people
Only if the officials come to help manage it.
"Brother Xiao, Jinling has been captured. Why aren't you happy?" Ao Canghai lay in the carriage and handed the wine bag to Li Xiao with a wave of his hand.
"I know you're unhappy, so there's no need to get drunk like this all day long." Li Xiao took Ao Canghai's wine bag and took a big sip. This is a kind of wine called Zhuyeqing in the south of the Yangtze River, and the wine is green.
It tastes a little sour and tastes a little like wine, and the alcohol content is not high. Ao Canghai criticized it as the wine that women drink, but when no one is around, Ao Canghai has this kind of wine in his wine bag.
"I'm just drunk when I'm drunk. I'm not going out to kill people or set fires. What are you afraid of?"
Jinling City is finished. After fighting for so many years in this world, we still have to go to Kuma and release Nanshan with swords and guns. I, Lao Ao, am just a catcher. I only got what I am today by following you. I am satisfied!
I thought that when I returned to the capital, I would hand over the First Division. It doesn't matter whether I let Huzi lead it or Nie Dahu took it. Anyway, you have the final say. I plan to go to Changxing Island.
I have been fighting and killing for half my life, and the happy days are only a few days old. Erya gave birth to a girl. I have been working hard in the past few years to make a silly boy out. In the future, I will go underground and meet my ancestors.
There is an explanation.
What's wrong with you? If you want to be the emperor, I won't go back. The First Division will stay in the capital. Whoever dares to oppose you becoming the emperor, I will light his sky lantern."
"I...!" Li Xiao put down the wine bag and saw Ao Cang's pirate eyes.
It's over! There are no good people in this world! Bastards like Ao Canghai are starting to play tricks!
"You want me to be the emperor?" Li Xiao glanced at Ao Canghai. These old brothers, naturally wanted to make Li Xiao the emperor. When the time comes, their worth will rise, and their wealth will be settled in this life.
You cannot ask a policeman who collects protection money from gangsters to have a noble moral sentiment.
"I really mean it when I say I want you! Not only me, but our old brothers in the Liao Army all want you to be the emperor. But if I, the eldest brother, give you advice, I think you'd better not be the emperor." Ao Canghai
He took the wine bag from Li Xiao's hand and took a sip.
"Why?"
"You are a person who values friendship. If you become the emperor, we old brothers will definitely be able to borrow from you. So, for us, it is a good thing for you to be the emperor. But for you, being the emperor is actually not a good thing.
.
I didn’t understand anything before. I just thought that being an emperor would sleep with any girl he wanted, spend money however he wanted, and do everything according to his temper. Think about it, how cool that would be! Just think about it.
I find it enjoyable!
But now that I have become a high official, after seeing so many intrigues, I don’t like being an emperor at all! If you really become an emperor and follow a group of people all day long and pretend to be affectionate, I, Lao Ao, probably won’t have a chance.
When I drink with you like this, I'm afraid there won't be a word of truth in your mouth. I'm really afraid that when I talk to you, I have to guess which of your words are true and which are false.
Tired! Feeling tired!
Sitting in that position, just the word "tired" will kill you.
Think about it, day in and day out, everyone is trying to get benefits from you. Everyone wants to get something from you, and some people want your life even more. You have to win over this one, attack that one, and face this one.
When someone laughs, you still have to be on guard against that person.
Whoever speaks, you have to go through it in your head several times, not knowing whether it is true or false. These days are simply not life for humans. So, as an old brother, I really don’t want you to sit in that position.
But if you really are an emperor, I don’t dare to tell others. My old Ao’s first division is guarding the capital. If anyone dares to have bad thoughts towards you, your brother, I will twist off his head."
Li Xiao snatched the wine bag from Ao Canghai's hand. From now on, if anyone said that Mr. Ao was a reckless man who only knew how to kill people for fun, Li Xiao would spit in his face.
How could a reckless man who only knows how to kill people for fun think things through so thoroughly?
"I haven't thought about what you said. When we were crossing the river, my second brother followed me and talked about it all night. That's what I was talking about!"
"The second brother also persuades you to become emperor?"
"He didn't say it explicitly, but the implication behind his words was that the current emperor is just a piece of shit. The whole court and even the whole world know that it is me who has the final say. Instead of the little emperor growing up,
