When Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty saw the "rebels" in blue clothes and white hats all over the streets, holding sharp swords, the first thing that came to his mind was the rebellious and unfilial Zhu Cixang.
Treason! Come and save me! There are unruly people trying to harm me again...
It's a pity that a certain traitor can't come now even if he wants to! The pontoon bridge on the Wei River burned down, and the sand boat of the honest businessman Shen Tingyang also ran very fast and slipped downstream of the Wei River. The sails of many ships were even set on fire.
"Your Majesty, don't panic, I'm here to save you!"
Just when Chongzhen was calling his son, the legendary loyal minister finally appeared. Emperor Chongzhen looked over following the sound and saw a man in armor holding a spear and running towards him panting. When Emperor Chongzhen took a closer look, his heart dropped. This loyal minister turned out to be Duke Cheng, Zhu Chunchen.
Of course Duke Cheng cannot be beaten, but he is loyal after all. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he should not dampen the enthusiasm of his loyal ministers, so he nodded heavily at Zhu Chunchen and praised loudly: "Gong Cheng Guo is indeed loyal and brave! I ordered you to fight the thieves quickly, and I will hold the battle for you inside the palace gate!"
What? Fight with thieves! ? Doesn't the purpose of rescuing the emperor mean to save the emperor and take refuge in the palace? Why did it turn into a war when we got to Chongzhen... He didn't even see if Zhu Dazhong could fight?
After Zhu Chunchen heard Chongzhen's order, there was a burst of gold stars in front of his eyes. How come there is so much difference between this emperor and Qiantose Master? Although Mr. Qiantose is cunning and vicious, he can really consider the people below him, and he will not send people to do the job of sending someone to his death lightly.
But now Emperor Chongzhen no longer had real power, and Zhu Chunchen was not very afraid of him, so he stopped and refused to die. But at this time, several civil servants who came out with Chongzhen began to make noises.
"Gong Cheng, you are the commander-in-chief, and you are also a nobleman who has received the emperor's favor. Now that the matter is urgent, it is the time for you to serve the country loyally. Why are you hesitating?"
"Gong Cheng, today you fought hard against the thieves for His Majesty. You will definitely be remembered in history and respected by future generations of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely report to His Highness the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty and ask for merit for you!"
"The Duke's loyalty and bravery are unparalleled in the world. I admire him greatly. Now I will compose a poem to honor the Duke..."
Well, I even started writing poems.
When Zhu Chunchen was inspired by them, he had no choice but to do so. He was the commander-in-chief, the Duke of the country, and the head of the honorable ministers, so he always wanted to show face.
At that moment, he could only grit his teeth and roared: "Anyone who is not afraid of death will follow me! The time has come to serve the imperial court!"
I don't know whether it was inspired by his loyalty, or whether he was afraid of being settled by Zhu Cihong's wife. Anyway, Qin Mingtao, who was responsible for guarding the gate of the palace and was a martial arts scholar in the 16th year of Chongzhen, also roared and called his brother Yiqi to come forward with a dropped knife.
"My lord, come with Qin, let's guard the palace gate!" The man named Qin was obviously better at fighting than Zhu Chunchen. Not to mention his martial arts, how could Wu Jinshi be any worse? And he also knows a little bit about battle formations. Immediately, he summoned the eighty soldiers under his command to form a sword and spear formation, and blocked the palace gate.
The banner soldiers led by Qin Mingtao also belonged to Zhu Cixiang's guard camp, so they were protected by golden armor (all armor worn by Han generals). As for their weapons, they are mainly spears. When dismounting and fighting, three of the four teams under one flag have spears, and one team has swords and shields. There are no long-range weapons such as bows and arrows or muskets.
The reason for this is that bows are not easy to preserve for a long time, so most of the bows in the arsenals of Jingying, Jingjun, and Jinyiwei are rotten and unusable. Secondly, it was because there were too many showboats in Zhu Cixiang's guard camp and few of them had real skills, so it was useless to equip them with bows and arrows.
However, the old soldiers of the Dashun Army who rushed outside the Chongzhen Palace seemed to have few bows, and their weapons were not as good as Qin Mingtao's men. Not only did they have no armor, they didn't even have a few shields, and most of them only had one short weapon and not even a few long spears.
How did such equipment get into Tianjin Guard?
At this time, Fan Juren and Zhang Juren also saw a wedge-shaped formation formed by more than 80 soldiers at the gate of the governor's office. Moreover, the two of them also saw the yellow dragon flag held high inside the door, and vaguely saw a group of old men in official uniforms surrounding a tall man in gold armor, behind the more than eighty soldiers.
See what this means, that tall man is Emperor Chongzhen? There are less than a hundred soldiers protecting him?
Haha, what an incredible achievement!
"That's the stupid king of the Zhu family!" Fan Ju's voice was like a bell, and he pointed at Chongzhen with the spear in his hand, "Anyone who wants to make meritorious deeds, come to me!"
That’s Chongzhen!
A group of people were looking forward to King Chuang. The gangsters and gangsters from the Tianjin Guard who were waiting for King Chuang, as well as the slaves of Zhang and Fan's family, all got excited. They each held weapons and yelled and rushed towards the gate of the governor's Yamen.
Qin Mingtao looked at the chaotic "Da Shun soldiers", and the doubts in his heart became more serious. There was something wrong with this group of people. They were obviously a mob. Thinking of this, he also yelled: "The fifth flag of the guard camp, follow a certain killer thief, charge!"
Rush?
Zhu Chunchen was shocked. There were so many thieves, but he had less than a hundred on his side, and yet he still wanted to charge... Could it be that he was really going to become a loyal hero today?
Naturally, he didn't want to die, but he was dragged by Qin Mingtao and stood in the first row of the wedge formation. As soon as Qin Mingtao gave the order, someone pushed Zhu Chunchen forward.
Zhu Dazhong had no choice but to level the spear, hold it tightly, and then move forward with his head covered.
It turns out that the spear is meant to be laid flat...
When the spear in Zhu Chunchen's hand stabbed Fan Da Juren's body, the Juren master realized that his posture with the spear was wrong - Zhu Chunchen was a general, and he still knew how to use a spear. Fan Juju, on the other hand, is a serious scholar. He only knows how to use a pen and does not know how to use a gun.
However, the genes left by his ancestors still came into play, and Fan Juren's reactions on the battlefield were faster than ordinary people. Seeing the spear thrust towards him, he had no time to dodge, so he grabbed a bastard from beside him who was making noises and sent it towards the tip of Zhu Chunchen's spear. There was a muffled sound, and the bastard didn't even have time to scream before he was pierced by the spear. The head of Zhu Chunchen's spear was equipped with a red tassel. The blood flowed out along the red tassel and fell to the ground in drops, dyeing a large area of the ground red.
The bastard's body then fell on his back, and the tip of the gun was pulled out from between his chest and abdomen, bringing out a bloody...
Miserable screams began immediately, and this bastard was not the only "rebel" who was pierced by a spear. Some of them escaped their vital points and were not dead for a while, but just rolled and wailed in the bloody water.
Fan Juren and Zhang Juren were also shocked by the sudden casualties. But soon the desire for immortality overcame the fear.
There are only a few dozen people on the other side, but there are thousands of people on your side. Are you still afraid that you can't win?
"Kill all these soldiers and capture the faint king alive!"
Fan Juren shouted loudly, leveled his spear, and rushed towards Zhu Chunchen, who had just killed someone.
Inspired by him, the other "rebels" also temporarily forgot about the danger. Everyone brandished their swords and guns and charged forward with strange screams.
The gate of Tianjin Governor's Yamen suddenly turned into a flesh and blood mill!
…
"Master Chitose, Master Chitose... the bandits have invaded Nancheng!"
Zhu Cixiang, who was suffering from fever and sleeping in a daze, felt his body shaking from side to side, and a thunderous voice roared in his ears.
"What? What happened?" He woke up suddenly and sat up from the soft wooden bed. He saw his new head guards Chen Yidao and Wu Sanmei in front of him. Both of them had expressions of fear and anxiety on their faces!
"Master Qiansui," Chen Yidao said loudly, "the thieves used fire boats to burn down the pontoon bridge, drove away the sand boats on the Wei River, and used heavy troops to attack Tianjin Nancheng. And... and there was a fire in Tianjin Nancheng. The sound of killing! The thieves, the thieves seem to have broken into Nancheng!"
"What..." Zhu Cixiang roared when he heard this, his body was shaking and sweating, his body temperature suddenly dropped, and the confusion disappeared without a trace.
