"Xu, you are brave, we are honorable ministers!"
Anyuan Hou Liu Zuochang, who was standing at the front, shouted first when he saw this, and then hid behind the shield of Yijiang Fangbing.
When Xu Xianchun saw this, he immediately picked up the crossbow on his waist with his left hand, and then shot an arrow at him first, hitting Liu Zuochang in the throat on the spot.
Liu Zuochang, a noble man in history who was unwilling to protect Emperor Hongguang from escaping to Luzhou and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty to seek wealth, fell to the ground with a look of shock on his face. He only twitched a few times and did not move again.
Immediately afterwards.
Xu Xianchun drew his crossbow again and shot at the other people standing in front of him.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei belong to the Royal Special Service Armed Forces. Because they have to carry out various operations to arrest important criminals, they are very well-equipped. In fighting, they often use crossbows that are very convenient and automatic but have relatively high manufacturing costs.
At this time, Xu Xianchun simply put away his sword and used the crossbow first.
Whoosh!
Xu Xianchun shot Dingyuan Marquis Deng Wenxuan who was coming with another arrow.
Li Zushu and Wang Qia were shocked when they saw this.
Li Zushu hurriedly backed away and shouted: "Xu Xianchun, you are crazy! We are all royal relatives and nobles, but you are so cruel!"
"It doesn't matter who you are, just rebel if you can!"
As Xu Xianchun said this, he first shot a military attache standing in front of Wang Qia.
When Li Zushu saw this, he said to Wang Qia: "Secretary Zong, Wang Dashima, please forgive me for being unable to do anything. The main reason is that Xu Xianchun is too crazy. I will take the first step!"
Li Zu said this and immediately ran away to the side.
At the same time, Wang Qia's Jiangfang officers and soldiers also fled directly. They really did not dare to fight against the people of Dongchang.
Because Dongchang's troops who went south this time were all elite troops recruited from the retired battalions from various border towns, as well as the backbone of Jinyiwei in the past.
In addition, Dongchang Xu Xianchun and others are desperate.
Therefore, Jiang Fang's officers and soldiers, who had long since lost their combat effectiveness, were no match for Dongchang if they really put their lives on the line.
Wang Qia saw that his Jiangfang officers and soldiers could not stop the Dongchang people.
And he really didn't dare to fight with Dongchang. He originally wanted to mobilize Jiang Fang soldiers to scare Dongchang's Xu Xianchun, but he didn't expect that Xu Xianchun was not scared by him and actually took his life.
Therefore, at this time, he could only shout loudly: "Withdraw!"
Then, Wang Qia immediately rode off with his whip and followed Li Zushu.
But Xu Xianchun jumped on his horse at this time and stopped Wang Qia and Li Zushu first: "Want to run away? I have said that those who resist the emperor's orders will be killed without mercy!"
Wang Qia became nervous when he saw this: "Xu, you, you, why are you doing this? After all, I am the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing and the Counselor of Nanjing Machinery Affairs. If you do this, don't you think you are going too far?"
Xu Xianchun rode over directly and slashed at Wang Qia with his sword: "If you have the ability, let your Jiang Fang officers and soldiers rebel to stop me!"
Wang Qia's head was chopped off by Xu Xianchun on the spot.
Xu Xianchun also lost his mind now. After beheading Wang Qia, he looked at Li Zushu: "Marquis of Linhuai! You dare to resist the emperor's order. As a distinguished noble, you dare to get involved with civil servants! Now, I will do it for your majesty." I’ll take care of you!”
Li Zushu had already rolled off his horse at this time, and then knelt on the ground, kowtowing and crying: "Commander Xu, please spare my life! I am also forced to have no choice. I am assisting the Nanjing garrison with evidence of embezzlement and embezzlement of water." The evidence of Yin's crime is in the hands of Wang Qia and Zonghe! I have to help them stop you! How can I dare to resist the emperor's order! I have received the emperor's favor in my life, how dare I be disloyal! Please Show your hand, we are all the Emperor's own people, please show your hand!"
"This commander has said that those who resist the emperor's orders will be killed without mercy!"
As Xu Xianchun spoke, he swung his knife towards Li Zushu, severing his neck on the spot.
Li Zushu fell to the ground on the spot. Only half of his head, which was still connected to his neck, shook a few times in the pool of blood and then stopped moving.
Nanjing Hubu Right Minister Lang Zonghe looked at Xu Xianchun who had rushed forward and was so frightened that he could not speak. He only pointed at Xu Xianchun with his finger and his whole body was shaking: "You, you, you..."
"Take it!"
Xu Xianchun shouted loudly.
"yes!"
A group of Dongchang officers hurriedly pushed Zong He to the ground.
Zong He struggled and shouted: "Xu, you are so cruel, you will die badly!"
Xu Xianchun said nothing, only snorted.
At this time, Yang Huan came over and said to Xu Xianchun: "Commander Xu, we killed three nobles and a minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. This killing was indeed a bit too violent. Do you think your Majesty will really use us?" to appease the anger of the nobles and civil servants."
Xu Xianchun wiped the blood on the knife and said calmly: "What are you afraid of? If something happens, I will take care of it!"
Xu Xianchun said directly that as a relative of the emperor, he was indeed not worried that the emperor would deal with him because of this matter.
Moreover, he has had similar experiences before and knows that the current emperor is not a person who cuts off his wings in order to appease public anger.
"Yes! However, this time, it all depends on Commander Xu to make your decision on the spur of the moment, asking us to risk our lives, otherwise we may not be able to catch this guy."
Yang Huan said and glanced at Zong He who was pressed to the ground.
"This commander has already seen that these people are here to scare us, otherwise they wouldn't have just brought Jiang Fang soldiers!"
Xu Xianchun then added: "You and I both know that the real military power and strength in South Zhili are the Biaoying of Yingtian Governor Xiao Jingao and the four generals of Xichang. As long as these people don't show up, it doesn't matter." Terrible! Kill your nobles when they should! Kill important ministers when they should! Anyway, I am a relative of the emperor! Besides, you and I don’t know about His Majesty’s temper? We are His Majesty’s swords. His Majesty asked us to come to Jiangnan to kill people. Swords kill people. When do you care about your identity? Besides, it’s best to kill these noble ministers to let His Majesty know that we only care about the Emperor’s orders! No matter who they are, as long as they resist the Emperor’s orders, we can kill them on Your Majesty’s behalf!”
After Xu Xianchun said this, he ordered again: "Next, we will strictly examine Zonghe, and then report the facts here to His Majesty!"
"yes!"
Yang Huan replied.
"Report to the commander, Duke Wei is here! There is also Yingtian Governor Xiao Zhongcheng!"
At this time, Yidongchang Haotou came over and reported to Xu Xianchun.
Xu Xianchun and Yang Huan quickly looked in the direction they came from.
Zong He, who had already been put into shackles, gritted his teeth when he saw this: "A bunch of old foxes! They only appeared at this time!"
"Are Duke Guo and Xiao Zhongcheng also here to resist the emperor's order?"
Xu Xianchun walked over directly first and asked Xu Hongji and Xiao Jingao.
"Commander Xu is joking, how dare we resist the emperor's order? We heard that someone wanted to rebel and obstruct the emperor's mission, so we came with troops to support them."
Wei Guogong Xu Hongji was the garrison of Nanjing and the admiral of Cao Jiang. He and the Minister of War of Nanjing shared the military power of Nanjing. Naturally, he could mobilize troops and horses. Therefore, it is understandable that he said that he led troops to support.
Xiao Jingao also laughed: "Yes! It's just that we didn't expect Commander Xu to be so brave. He actually defeated the rebel army and captured the rebels alive!"
Xu Xianchun smiled coldly, said nothing more, and just escorted Zong He away from here.
