The soldiers in front of Ba Shang's tent sent troops to quell the rebellion after Shaanxi Governor Bi Ziyan asked for help!
The reason why Bi Ziyan invited the soldiers in front of Ba Shang to quell the rebellion on his own land was because the situation was too critical and he, the governor of Shaanxi, could not control the situation.
Of course, Xi'an Fucheng cannot be lost. Because in addition to a main city, Xi'an Fucheng also has four barbican cities, a Dongkuo New City, and an imperial city. Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang just took advantage of the emptiness and laxity in the city of Xi'an to launch an attack and caught the defenders off guard. This does not mean that they can really capture a strong city like Xi'an.
Therefore, even if they succeed in the raid, they will only capture the Andingmen Wengcheng and open the way to Xi'an Fucheng to "kill the rich and help the poor". It's okay to enter the city, plunder it and leave, but it's just a dream to break through the other four Wengcheng, Dongkuo New City and Imperial City that have been closed and guarded.
And Bi Ziyan soon discovered that he, the governor, simply did not have enough power to quell the chaos! He only had 3,000 pacesetters and more than 2,000 men from a city defense battalion, totaling 5,000. To say the least, if faced alone with the brave men led by Wang Ziyong and Gao Yingxiang, they could be defeated without much effort.
But what annoyed Bi Ziyan was that some hungry people outside Xi'an also took advantage of the situation and followed the intruders into Andingmen, and started looting on the long street of Andingmen... not only looting, but also looting. After that, he set fire to it! In addition to robbing things and setting fires, they also engaged in scuffles with merchants, craftsmen in Xi'an City, and soldiers from the city defense camp who rushed to suppress them. The result was that the Andingmen area was filled with killings, flames soared into the sky, and the world was completely transformed into a hell on earth!
Bi Ziyan was also a civil servant who had served as a general and soldier. In the first year of Taichang, he was sent as governor of Tianjin, responsible for rectifying Tianjin's navy and coastal defense. Although he has never actually fought, he still has courage.
After sending someone to ask for help from the soldiers in front of Ba Shang's tent, he immediately ordered 800 soldiers in the yamen. He also personally put on the cloth armor and held the sword, and the military governor went to fight to suppress the intruders.
At this time, Xi'anfu Street was already in chaos. Several county and prince mansions are now closed. There were cries and cries inside the door, and the outside was crowded with the eldest son and family members of Lao Zhu's family who wanted to go in and take refuge. Although the vassal was removed from the Prince of Qin's palace now, the descendants of the Zhu family in Xi'an City have not decreased, but are more than before. This is because many descendants of the Qing Fan of Ningxia and the Su Fan of Lanzhou have now moved to Xi'an. Although the two kings of Qing and Su have both signed memorials to "determine their children," the vassal ban on the descendants of the two factions is also due to the The two factions of vassal kings lost their vassal status, became princes, and moved to Nanjing, which was completely abolished (the vassals were all gone, so naturally there was no vassal ban). However, except for the two kings Qing and Su and several princes affiliated with the two kings, they moved their families to the south of the Yangtze River, and the other children of the two vassals all came to Xi'an.
For these country bumpkin clans whose ancestors have never left Ningxia and Lanzhou for generations, the imperial home where their ancestors once lived, where dragons and tigers lived, is too far away for them. For them, it has been a lifelong dream to move from Ningxia and Lanzhou, where military unrest is likely to occur at any time, to Xi'an, a prosperous and safe place.
But who would have thought that Ningxia and Lanzhou are fine now, but thieves came to Xi'an first!
These eldest sons and grandsons of the Zhu family were all raised as pigs. Although there were many tall and strong men among them, they all subconsciously sought shelter when they saw danger. And these princes' palaces are relatively safe places in their opinion, as if those princes have powerful guards who can protect their lives and wealth!
There are also some children of generals and military attachés in the city of Xi'an. After all, Shaanxi is a place surrounded by five towns, and Xi'an is the capital. Many generals and powerful military attachés have set up residences in the west, and arranged for some of their children who took the imperial examination route to study here. Although these military scholars have never been in the army, they have all learned martial arts and know the art of war and battle formations. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many civil servants who were both civil and military and could supervise the army in battle. A large number of them were military scholars!
The performance of these generals and military attache disciples was much better than that of the eldest sons. Many of them wielded weapons and rushed onto the streets with their servants, but they were a little dizzy by the crowds of people rushing around. They didn't know where to go. Just go.
Shops everywhere in Xi'an were looted and burned. Now is a year of disaster and troubled times. There are really not a few people who can't survive. Now that there is chaos, there are inevitably people who take advantage of it. Whether they are local scoundrels or wandering victims, some of them have evil thoughts. The chaos started near Andingmen and moved to other parts of the city. The whole of Xi'an was boiling with excitement!
At this time, Bi Ziyan led 800 pacesetters and left the imperial city holding the governor's royal order flag. As he walked towards Anding Gate, he shouted: "Governor Bi sends troops! My eldest son, officials, gentry and people, are you willing?" Protect the home and eliminate the thieves, follow with weapons! Fight the intruders out!"
The generals and military officers who had no direction on the street were the first to react, and they all followed him and raised their arms and shouted: "Governor Bi is here, Governor Bi is here!"
Together with their shouts, the crowds running around in the street seemed to calm down a little. Bi Ziyan's official reputation was good, he was quite successful in Shaanxi Province, and he was an upright official. Both the common people and the gentry had a good impression of him.
In the midst of the chaos, many of the generals' disciples looked for Bi Ziyan's royal order flag and came closer. The officers, soldiers and pacesetters of the city guarding camp who had been scattered also found their way.
Bi Ziyan had supervised the army, and he was very organized now. He assigned military generals to restrain and command the temporarily assembled stragglers; he also mounted a war horse that he had brought from nowhere and headed west. OK. Behind him, more and more people gathered. At this moment, the men he led happened to pass by a county prince's palace, and saw the eldest son crying in a ball outside the palace. Bi Ziyan sighed and said loudly: "You are the emperor Taizu Gao, and I would like to follow my official position." Is it chaos?"
He shouted several times, but only a few of the Zhu family's disciples responded. They picked up whatever they wanted and joined in the chaos.
Bi Ziyan sighed and led his troops to continue westward. Wherever they passed, order was immediately restored. Those who took advantage of the situation and were caught by them had their heads cut off without explanation.
While Bi Ziyan was sending troops, Andingmennei Street was completely controlled by the intruders!
After Gao Yingxiang succeeded in his raid, Wang Ziyong, Luo Rucai and others outside the city immediately launched an attack. They unexpectedly killed the 300 pacesetters (commissioned by He Renlong) who were escorting them, and then mobilized the hungry people outside the city to go to Andingmen together. rush. There were so many of them that they rushed into the Anding Gate like a flood.
However, after arriving on Andingmen Street, this "torrent" immediately slowed down... After all, everyone is here to make a fortune, and no one really wants to occupy Xi'an Fucheng. So when they saw the prosperity in Andingmen, they all started looting.
Wang Ziyong and Luo Rucai didn't take it personally. They were both elder brothers. Naturally, the younger brothers below would do this kind of thing. The two of them, with a group of confidants and a group of hungry people, marched noisily along Andingmen Street, shouting as they walked: "Bai Yushan has a hundred thousand heroes here, who dares to fight!"
The current level of this group of people has not yet reached the point of "not conscripting for three years". They just want to grab a quick one... The shouting now is a bluff to scare the officers and soldiers of Xi'an Fucheng.
But I didn’t expect that someone would dare to fight!
It was Bi Ziyan who came. At this time, he had gathered a team of thousands of people. He was riding a big horse in front, holding a spear that he didn't know where. He is a big man from Shandong, tall and strong. Although he is over 60 years old, his body is still very strong. He has a big beard and a face with a Chinese character. He looks very powerful. Those who don't know it might think he is a man. Where is the old general who retired at home?
"I'm Bi Ziyan, where did you get the thieves from?" Bi Ziyan saw the "rebels" all over the streets and the Andingmen Nei Street with smoke everywhere. He became very angry and immediately roared. Questions arose.
Luo Rucai and Wang Ziyong were also on horseback. Of course, not to be outdone, they also led people to greet them.
Luo Rucai replied loudly: "This is Cao Cao from Baiyu Mountain." He pointed to Wang Ziyong beside him, "This is our great king, Monk Zijin Liang Wang!"
Bi Ziyan snorted: "Two kids who don't dare to show their real names! I already know who you are? You fake Cao Cao is Luo Rucai from Fushi County! That monk Wang is the king of Suide..." ...Where is Gao Yingxiang, whose pseudonym is Gao Ruyue? Come out and die!"
When he said this, Luo Rucai and Wang Ziyong were both dumbfounded - the imperial court knew about it!
