"Report!" A crisp voice immediately interrupted Qu Qubing's thoughts, but upon hearing this voice, Qu Qubing's always stern expression actually relaxed.
This is the city of Chengdu. Yongshanfang next to the west gate of the imperial city. The first courtyard on the left is the former residence of the Minister of Rites in the middle of Sichuan. This antique study was naturally the beloved place of its owner in the past. , but now it has become Qu Qubing’s temporary emergency headquarters.
On the surface, this is the temporary headquarters of the Yizhou branch of the Uniform Sect, and it is also the headquarters of the rebels who are currently opposing the Chengdu City Forbidden Army. In fact, this is also the Yizhou headquarters of the secret party, and now it is the temporary emergency operations headquarters of the Han Dynasty in Shu.
The owner of the mansion, Chu Shao, the Minister of Rites, is a well-known and tactful figure in the official circles of Sichuan. He has been an official since the late emperor until now, and he has never been a low-ranking official until now. Due to the sudden and unpredictable events, not only was he not allowed to return to his home, but he was also detained in another house across the street.
The owner of that mansion was also an official in the court that day, but he was just a big shot who had resigned. There was chaos in Chengdu yesterday. A group of refugees rushed into the house and killed all the owners. In the end, Qu Qubing and his men suppressed it and appeased the people in the mansion, so they naturally occupied it.
He was detained in this mansion because it was much higher than the courtyard wall of Chu Mansion, which could prevent people from escaping. The biggest person accompanying Chu Zao in the mansion here is the current prince, Emperor Meng Chang's younger brother, Prince Xie Meng Renyi.
He is not only the eldest prince among the emperor's living brothers, but also the most popular prince in Chengdu. He is only a few years younger than the emperor and has many children under his command. Of course, there is another important reason, that is, he has a daughter who married to the Han Dynasty in Lingnan.
Their two bosses accidentally fell into captivity and became prisoners of the Balance Sect headed by Qu Qubing. There were various reasons for this. But it became the best bargaining chip in Qu Qubing's hand. Although their identities could not scare the emperor, in the emperor's safety and eyes, they might be able to give it up. But it is still easy to scare ordinary officials.
Of course, the simplest reason for being able to control the two big bosses easily is that Qu Qubing's followers were clever and had been responsible for monitoring them for a long time. Among them, King Xie specially placed important people in charge, and when the city was suddenly attacked, he controlled the actions of two people in the shortest time.
Although he didn't treat the prince of Dashu like he treated Chu Zao, he still invited Prince Xie to the mansion here. Yesterday, King Xie and King Ya Meng Renzhi entered the palace together. King Ya brought Li Fengxiao, the governor of Yuzhou, to have something to do. King Xie himself left the palace early, neither expecting nor escaping this disaster.
Qu Qubing's planned surveillance and placement plan was mentioned by Liu Jixing when he came to Shuzhong. After arriving in Shuzhong, I found that this power is really powerful. Each of these special warriors he sent out became the confidants of officials at all levels. And my biggest benefit is that I can keep track of the latest developments in Chengdu at any time.
This unexpected action was echoed by secret sentries throughout Chengdu in less than ten minutes. Especially the specially arranged personnel, after seeing the explosion here, they started blowing down other city gates one after another.
What shocked Qu Qubing was that he did not expect that all the gates in the palace and the city would be blown down by the explosives of these people. The refugees outside the city poured into Chengdu in an organized manner, but the original refugees in the city actually marched into the Shu Kingdom Palace under the call of party members everywhere.
Although Shen Gonghu, the person in charge of the north gate, failed in the end, he not only died for the party, but also blew up the north gate, which greatly damaged the morale of the defenders and inspired the majority of party members and the refugees who followed. As the other three gates were successively captured, Qu Qubing continued to receive good news from everywhere.
The biggest good news was that his men once occupied the entire palace. This was such an achievement that Qu Qubing couldn't even imagine, but his command failed to keep up. Qu Qubing did not blame himself, but followed the situation closely and asked people to lead the refugees into the palace again.
There were some true followers who wanted to make great achievements together with him. During the days when Chengdu was besieged, they received a lot of systematic teachings. Not only did they open the palace's arsenal, but they also used human weapons to fight against the Forbidden Army.
Of course, there are not a large number of speculative refugees, who are greedy for the prosperity of the palace and the endless wealth and jewelry. Qu Qubing didn't let anyone stop them, just teach average wealth! Of course, the most important thing is that with so many of them, they can greatly confuse and impact the sight of the Forbidden Army.
I saw a large amount of silk, gold and silver jewelry being discarded, apparently abandoned in a hurry.
There is still a strong smell of blood in the air. The weather has gradually become hotter, making the air seem much drier. It is not known how many bodies were laid out in the palace. Qu Qubing didn't need to think about it to know how chaotic it was in the palace at the moment.
The city of Chengdu has not been so chaotic for a long time. Although the city gates strictly prohibit the entry of refugees every day, everyone knows that there are many refugees staying outside Chengdu. Although Sichuan is rich and prosperous, many people still cannot survive due to the expropriation by the imperial court and the corruption of officials.
Just outside Chengdu, a large number of people starve to death every day. Officials naturally turn a blind eye, and those who are interested have limited abilities. The emperor was in the inner palace and had no idea of the suffering of the people. All he saw was the prosperity of Chengdu.
Regardless of whether they have money or not, regardless of their status, everyone living in Chengdu has a sense of superiority. Seeing the beggars and homeless people coming and going on the streets every day, everyone subconsciously felt disgust and rejection.
What kind of people are these? Even in the eyes of some people, they cannot be human!
Their life and death are not in people's eyes, they are as common as a dog beaten to death on the roadside. Of course, some people feel as if they are worse than dogs.
However, this group of people has now become a nightmare in Chengdu. Not only were they walking on the streets carrying weapons, they were also constantly coming in and out of the palace. The world seems to have turned upside down, and the people in Chengdu are too scared to come out.
The air was still filled with the smell of a lot of smoke. The palace was on fire during the day. Coupled with the chaos and attacks one night, many people were frightened out of their wits. As evening approached, many palaces in the palace were set on fire, and the fires that lit up half of the sky turned red. They actually caused many surrounding palaces to catch fire, burning for a whole night.
Whether they are refugees or beggars, they can lead a crowd to rob wealthy officials, and they can boldly break into houses, because there is no one in Chengdu to interfere. If you violate ordinary people, you will definitely be killed on the spot. Because Qu Qubing's law enforcement team not only follows these people at all times, but is also responsible for fanning the flames.
Qu Qubing was not worried that there would be too many accidental killings and accidental injuries, because the statistics of Chengdu City had been completed as early as a month ago. This statistics includes various reputations of officials, merchants, landlords, and wealthy men.
Anyone who lives in a house of bullies, corrupt officials, or corrupt officials will be included in this purge. Although it cannot be done one by one, it still exposes the faces of many evildoers. Robbing wealth and criticizing people are just some of them. Not to mention the screams and triumphant laughter that came from time to time.
I heard last night that during the confrontation on the street, many officials who didn't know what was going on actually ran away with their families and out of the city. They gave up on the emperor and the country. As for how many people died tragically or disappeared inexplicably on the road, no one knows.
Such an accident made Qu Qubing feel both regretful and excited. Because, although my reaction was half a beat too slow, I lost many of my best opportunities. Today, less than half of the palace has been recaptured by Emperor Meng Chang's imperial army, but the people he sent there still surrounded the emperor in a side hall.
The capable bodyguards around Qu Qubing were all elites selected from the Green Camp that day, but now none of them were with him, and they were all sent to various parts of Chengdu. Three of them entered the palace and now they have become the main leaders.
Even an ordinary soldier has become a leader at this moment!
Qu Qubing's mind was clearer than ever. He knew that he was playing a big game, a game that Liu Jixing might not have thought of. It wasn't that Qu Qubing wanted to play this game of chess, but that all his strength had already crossed the river, and even ordinary pawns had to shoulder the greatest responsibility.
What state they can reach is only decided by Nintendo!
Although they only occupy the south gate and west gate of the capital, the other two gates have not yet been taken over by officers and soldiers. For Qu Qubing, this is both an opportunity and the biggest test. The opportunity is that it is entirely possible for his followers to occupy these territories. The problem is that the city gates will collapse. If the officers and soldiers outside the city receive the tiger talisman and the order, they will inevitably come into the city, which will be a nightmare for people like them.
Qu Qubing's biggest problem now is to capture the emperor immediately, or to eliminate all the forces in the city and take over Chengdu. It seems a bit fanciful, but it is indeed not a dream. Because there were not many imperial troops in the city, Meng Chang's patrol department was useless.
Emperor Meng Chang's orders have not yet been conveyed, and although his orders have not been fully implemented, Qu Qubing is calling on tens of thousands of refugees to disrupt the entire city of Chengdu. Not only is it completely messy, but the messier the better.
At this time, Qu Qubing completely delegated power. No matter what everyone did, they just needed to complete the tasks they assigned.
His assistant, Zhong Shicheng, is responsible for the position of deputy leader of Yizhou branch of Yizhou branch. Although he was still a young man who was not as good as a weakling, at this juncture of employing people, Qu Qubing had no way to pay attention to these things. Moreover, he was personally entrusted by the emperor to lead him, and his father was also Zhong Yunzhang, Zuo Cheng, the rising minister in the court.
Qu Qubing's decision was not because of his father's face, but because this young man was a top student at Dongguan Military Academy and he had unyielding beliefs. At this moment, he is leading a large number of special warriors to fight. These warriors are mixed with a large number of refugees, and they are intermingled among them to take command. Taking the weapons found from the palace basement last night, they fought against the remaining forces of the Forbidden Army in the entire Xicheng District and Nancheng District.
Nowadays, the only people in the city who have the ability to resist are the few forbidden troops. As for those people in the city inspection department, because they had not received orders from King Meng Renyu, they were eager to pretend to be stupid and escape, and no one knew where they were.
Of course, Emperor Meng Chang might not have imagined that many of these people standing among the refugees were themselves soldiers of the Forbidden Army and City Patrol Division. They were instigated by different secret parties to rebel early on, but at this time they played a major and key role.
Qu Qubing was personally in charge of the Imperial City, so he was stationed at Yongshanfang. What he cares about is Emperor Meng Chang. As long as he has the emperor in his hands, he can be worry-free for the time being. At least he could use the emperor to command the princes and order the layout of the capital.
There is also Wei Yiren whom he has been looking forward to. He went to Yuzhou City and made great achievements. He led his people to occupy Yuzhou City. After joining Yang Huai, he was leading his team to come here quickly.
As long as his support arrived, Qu Qubing didn't have to worry at all. He didn't expect such a result. Even in Qu Qubing's heart, he had already prepared for the worst. Even if the Shu army gained the upper hand again, he would spend everything he had to severely damage the foundation of the Shu kingdom.
Nowadays, Chu Shao and King Xie are not the only ones in the mansion here. There are also more than ten officials of third rank or above, and more than thirty officials of fifth rank or above. These officials are now major bargaining chips in the hands of Qu Qubing, and their number is still increasing.
They had just gone to court, and before they could return to their mansion, they encountered the unlucky guy who exploded. There were also some who were in the mansion for no apparent reason, but were picked out by the noisy refugees.
The funny thing is that these officials were very lucky. They hid in various places after being frightened, but they could not escape the search of the refugees who were bewitched by the members of the Equalization Sect. The final outcome was to be picked out one by one, and some of them had obviously suffered a lot.
As for big guys like Chu Chan, after quickly revealing his identity, not only did he not suffer any punishment, he was also escorted to Qu Qubing's side as quickly as possible. After Qu Qubing wisely took control of Chu Chan, he had his home ransacked and his family completely in his hands, making him obey his orders obediently.
When Qu Qu Bing's followers led people to carry out organized chaos and destruction in the city, Qu Qu Bing met with Chu Chan. After treating Chu Zaoxiao with great justice and the situation, Chu Zaoxiao still cherished his life and family more and chose to cooperate with Qu Qubing's actions.
Now, with Chu Zao's surrender and cooperation, he not only quickly grasped the situation, but also knew the surroundings and the imperial city well. Qu Qubing continued to issue orders one after another, and the average sect quickly took the initiative at the west gate of the imperial city.
From yesterday to night, and from night to early morning, Qu Qubing didn't rest. Although his eyes were sunken, Qu Qubing felt even calmer.
Knowing that Emperor Meng Chang was protected by Han Chongsui, Qu Qubing did not regret it. This was something that was useless to regret. The good news is that Han Chongsui now has less than a hundred soldiers around him, and he has sent thousands of refugees. The side hall where they were was surrounded by water, and there were guards on three levels inside and three outside.
In the early hours of the morning, Qu Qubing once again organized and led his special warriors to lead a large number of refugees into the palace. These refugees continued to indulge in unbridled behavior, which not only disturbed the view, but also unexpectedly made a big harvest.
Not only had the imperial guards in the palace been completely eliminated, but Emperor Meng Chang was now almost captured. After a night of final confrontation, Emperor Meng Chang is now hiding in one of the side halls, although he is protected by Han Chongsui, the commander of the Shu Kingdom's guards and troops.
This Han Chongsui is the husband-in-law of Princess Meng Chang'an, Meng Chang's real son-in-law. What's more, his father Han Baozheng was also the Deputy Privy Envoy of Shu. Fortunately, he was sent to the border to guard against Zhou. Otherwise, if he was in the capital, Qu Qubing would not have such an opportunity to act so recklessly.
There is certainly no other way to surrender to the loyal Han Baozheng. But getting Meng Chang is his top priority. So Qu Qubing was considering whether to use the most vicious trick to force Meng Chang to submit.
Happiness seems to come too suddenly! Everything feels caught off guard!
There are many people with many great opportunities in their lives! However, how many people in this world can seize this opportunity!
Many years later, Qu Qubing has become one of the most famous commanders in the Han Dynasty. But when he recalled his current experience, he said in his own memoirs that he never thought that he would have such an encounter.
No one expected that a trial that disrupted the current situation would lead to a sudden accident. Not only did Qu Qubing not think of it, not even the civil and military officials of the entire Shu Dynasty thought of it, let alone Emperor Meng Chang!
The palace of Great Shu was destroyed by a group of refugees.
This is really the biggest mistake in history.
Meng Chang, the Emperor of Shu, may become the most unlucky emperor!
And of course, there’s that inexplicable explosion! This kind of offensive weapon has never appeared in this era, and no one knows why!
For the descendants of the Ba people who believe in ghosts and gods, they have been regarded as a wrathful person, and many people spread rumors in Chaoli City.
The emperor is unruly and traitorous ministers are in power. The average religion must do justice for heaven!
Qu Qubing originally wanted to cater to Wang Shen's sudden entry into the palace, nor did he want to save the dandy. He just wanted to use the status of the dandy to cause turmoil in the palace and make everyone uneasy. Then, the entire city of Chengdu panicked, hoping to let refugees from outside into the city.
No one expected that everyone would come in now. In just one day and one night, this ancient city was almost destroyed in the hands of a group of refugees.
Of course, some people in later generations also commented on Qu Qubing, blaming the destruction of the Shu palace on Qu Qubing's inaction. However, a few people can understand that under the circumstances at that time, they would not think of Qu Qubing, and even if they thought of it, they would not be able to do anything.
The most important thing at this time is that after several months of gathering outside Chengdu, there are already more than tens of thousands of refugees under the leadership of his own followers, and they are completely bewitched.
This kind of temptation comes from all aspects, including inner hints and the pursuit of fame and fortune, but of course most of them are about food and clothing. There are also many people who have received real benefits when they were fighting against the local tyrants. They want to follow the average education, and they can enter Chengdu and get all the things they want.
Of course, what Qu Qubing is looking forward to the most now is Wei Yiren who is already on the road. In order to cooperate with his actions, after seizing Yuzhou City, he and Yang Huai hurriedly broke up and put up a smoke barrier. Departure from Yuzhou City for a few days.
The spies' report should arrive in Chengdu within the next two days. In other words, as long as he persists a little bit, if Wei Yiren rushes to Chengdu City, then Chengdu City may be truly under his control.
However, everything was too sudden!
Bombing several palace gates and city gates was originally just a plan that had been prepared for a few days, but now it has become the biggest gain in the operation.
He underestimated the power of explosives and overestimated the strength of the city gate. Thinking of this, Qu Qubing's heart surged with passion, and he looked over expectantly.
He looked up at the young man in front of him who was dressed in tatters. This was the standard Dirty Clothes Sect among the two major factions of the Average Sect. The other, the Pure Clothes Sect, was the largest force in the Average Sect. The frown on Qu Qubing's face couldn't help but relax, and he chuckled: "You kid, you have been in charge all the way, and now you have a heavy responsibility, why do you still have this temper!"
The young man also smiled broadly, raised his hand in front of his right forehead, gave Qu Qubing a military salute, and then said, "Senior, here's some good news!"
"A certain family is looking forward to it! Zhou Bao, you are in charge of the deputy altar leader's southern route. If you can come here, you must have good news from the Zhongtan Master!" This is something that makes Qu Qubing excited. One night The suffering finally bore fruit, and Qu Qubing had a smile on his face.
"Yin Shi, who was in charge of the southern route, successfully caught a big fish. After interrogation, he found out that it was the emperor's younger brother, King Meng Renyu!" The young man named Zhou Bao said excitedly: "He is the patrolman of Chengdu City. Chief, he is being escorted here at this time!"
"Remember the great contribution!" Qu Qubing also said excitedly: "But there is other news!"
"Haha, there is one more thing, I don't know if it is a great achievement!" This boy actually pretended to be a little bit off, but when he saw Qu Qubing's face turned pale, he couldn't help but said with a smile: "Vice-Chancellor Zhong has successfully occupied We got to the east gate, and they were blocking it! My subordinates didn’t understand this, and he said he was going to close the door and beat the dog!"
Qu Qubing thought for a moment, his brows widened, and he laughed loudly: "When did you think of it? A certain family wants you to be the deputy altar leader!"
The three gates of Chengdu City are under my control. What else is more important than this. From then on, there was only one gate to enter and exit the city, not to mention that the last north gate was unguarded.
There will be cases of people jumping over the wall in a hurry. There are many dignitaries in the city, and there are also many people who don't understand the current situation and will definitely want to go out of the city to escape.
This will be your own opportunity, and it will also be the opportunity for the biggest change in average teaching. Whether you can grasp and seize this opportunity well will be the most important opportunity in your life.
Qu Qubing suddenly had an enlightenment. Looking at the patterns on the study window pane, he felt a sense of appreciation for the first time. These beautiful patterns used to be a luxury for the rich and literati, but now Qu Qubing has learned to appreciate them.
