"The original plan was for the student and several classmates to hand over the suicide note to the department. However, for some reason, on the day my father hanged himself, the classmates suddenly changed their story and said that my father was forced to death by the National Taxation Department!"
Zhou Zhiyi continued to speak, and took out the suicide note from his sleeve, holding it above his head with both hands: "Please take a look at it! In addition, there are also the prescriptions for medicine prescribed by my father, and Dr. Wang who treated him can testify."
Hai Rui took the suicide note and then glanced at the troublemakers: "It seems that someone wants to make things worse!"
Then, Hai Rui looked at Ran Yuan and other troublemakers.
"Zhou Zhiyi betrayed us, deliberately gave false testimony, rushed in, and killed these treacherous officials and cruel officials!"
Seeing this, Ran Yuan knew that the situation was not good, so he quietly pushed to the back, and after pushing to the outside, he shouted loudly.
Several students who came with him also retreated to the outside, and shouted loudly: "Kill them!"
In an instant, these students rushed in, and some of them took out weapons such as bones, pumpkins, and axes directly from their sleeves, and rushed towards Hai Rui.
Seeing this, Hu Shouren hurriedly pulled Hai Rui: "Please step back, leave this place to our people!"
Hai Rui, Lu Kun, Tang Chuanxun and others all pushed to the back.
At that time, a firearms team of the Jinwu Guards, a spear team, and a sword and shield soldier behind them had already stepped forward to form an array.
boom!
With the sound of a row of gunshots.
The students who rushed over immediately fell to the ground in large numbers, and golden melon bones fell on the ground.
Many of the students who fell to the ground began to cry and howl, holding their calves full of scars and muscles exposed from under their skirts, crying and baring their teeth.
It is obvious that many of these students are not real students, but professional thugs from the gang.
"Rush over, there are few of them!"
"Hai Rui is right behind you, just rush over and you'll be fine!"
"Bring the hidden muskets and bows to the front!"
However, among these students, there are also people who are in charge of the business.
The so-called gang is equivalent to the underworld of this era. Historically, there were gangs with tens of thousands of thugs in Suzhou, specializing in fighting against the government for the powerful right-wingers behind them, participating in armed fights between clans for minerals, water sources, etc. .
But although there are many of these fighters, many of whom are proficient in boxing and kicking, they are still unable to stand up to the professional army.
Even if a thug went around to the flank and rushed forward, he was hit by a well-trained firearms hand or stabbed by a spearman.
Moreover, the sword and shield player quickly stepped forward to cut off the head.
Not long after, the entire flank of the Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers, as standard Qi Jiajun, spit out the heads and rolled them on the ground like a machine that automatically cuts off human heads.
At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Jinwu Guards on the front were also shot by the firearmsmen, and at the same time, they attacked forward in the form of Liangyi formation with soldiers of other arms.
"Change the Xiaosancai formation!"
Luo Shanggong also issued the order to change the formation when his officers and soldiers rushed out of the lobby and came to the spacious courtyard outside the lobby.
According to Qi Jiguang's "Cao Hai Tu Bian", the so-called Xiao San Cai Formation is somewhat similar to the San San System of later generations.
That is to say, the independent combat units are further subdivided, and several sword and shield bearers, firearms soldiers, and spearmen are used to form a small two-ceremony formation, thereby forming a front and rear depth, which is convenient for attacking troops larger than one's own.
Because of this, even if the front part is killed, the rear part is still capable of fighting.
This is different from ordinary armies where the rear army is routed as soon as the front army is defeated.
At this time, several Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers holding tiger crouching cannons started massacring the soldiers who continued to attack. After a few cannons passed, several soldiers were directly knocked away. , vomited blood and fell to the ground dead.
The soldiers who rushed over were immediately stabbed to the ground, and watched helplessly as their chests bled. The axes in their hands could not cut the officers and soldiers at all. Every time, they were attacked by sword and shield soldiers who came forward with shields. Block.
There is no way. According to Qi Jiguang's military law, if the sword and shield hand does not take the initiative to block the firearm hand, he will be beheaded. Therefore, the experienced Qi family sword and shield hand are accustomed to protecting the firearm hand on their side first, and Then I think of protecting myself.
So that the firearms hand can kill enemy soldiers calmly.
As a result, these students were hit by bullets from time to time.
A soldier who was holding a musket smuggled from an unknown source and reloading his head was hit in the head by a bullet from the Kingo Guard's hawk-bill musket, a heavy matchlock gun, which flew over and exploded immediately. A cloud of blood mist appeared.
The whole body of this student suddenly changed from green to blood, as if soaked in blood.
The student behind him was so frightened that he dropped the bone in his hand and ran out, but he couldn't because the door was blocked by people.
"Mom, load a musket, it's slower than me loading a hawk's musket! You dare to fight against our personal guards just like this."
It was Luo Sigong who shot the soldier. Luo Sigong was holding an eagle-billed gun in one hand and a fork in the other, and cursed.
At this time, outside the door, there were also infantry and cavalry of Jinwu Guards, attacking the flanks and rear of a large number of soldiers outside the door, and it was a one-sided massacre.
Even if these soldiers had already prepared archers and cannons to rush over, they would be blocked by a thick shield wall that suddenly formed like a city wall, and then they would be hit by a row of cannonballs, and collectively fall to the ground.
Not long after, each one of them was lying in a piece of bloody porridge.
"Use the Sancai Formation! Attack with two wings of vehicles and artillery to block their retreat."
The more ruthless ones are yet to come.
A large number of real and fake soldiers were attacking and running around like headless flies. They didn't know that they were encountering the emperor's personal army, which was trained on the basis of the Qi family army and was considered one of the strongest infantry in the world in this era. I don’t know what kind of existence Wei Wei is. At this time, under the command of General Hu Youde, this army will not only repel him, but also annihilate them all here.
Because Jinwuwei is accustomed to fighting in the form of annihilating all enemy soldiers in foreign operations, rather than simply suppressing the opposition.
Ordinary professional thugs who cannot even defeat Japanese pirates have limited deterrence in front of them.
As a result, a one-sided massacre occurred in Southern Zhili.
Although most of the large number of Qingyi soldiers were strong and proficient in martial arts, they had no power to fight back. Even if they wanted to escape, they would run into a group of officers and soldiers with offensive capabilities, and then be hit by a sudden flying bullet.
Groups of Tsing Yi fell down as a result.
There were also many people in Tsing Yi whose legs and feet were so frightened that they could only crawl in the bloody water.
In the end, these students gathered together and did not dare to attack. They just sat together in fear, watching helplessly the Jinwu Guard officers and soldiers approaching them, and did not dare to show off their boxing and sword skills in vain.
Everyone was so frightened that they shivered as if they were in the snow.
Professional soldiers are not too touched by killing.
Therefore, the officers and soldiers of Jinwu Guard still lit match ropes and held firecrackers. The sidecar also pushed over, and the heavy Vulcan guns and Folang machine guns still poked their heads out of the sidecar, facing the dark hole. These green clothes.
"stop!"
Only at this moment, the civil servants such as Sun Guangyou, the governor of Yingtian, Lu Hao, the admiral of Caojiang, who had already arrived on horseback, shouted almost at the same time, and stopped the Jinwu Guards from further massacre.
Because as a regular army, the Jinwu Guards were not touched by killing, but they were instinctively sensitive to orders.
They are like a controllable killing machine. With an order to stop, they are well-trained and can immediately stop attacking, put away their fangs, and become docile. Unlike ordinary mass fighting, they will not attack once they start. You can't stop fighting and you can't control the situation.
Therefore, Hu Youde and his officers and soldiers stopped attacking.
Although they did not belong to these civil servants, Sun Guangyou and others were senior civil servants wearing scarlet official robes, and the use of civil servants to control military power had already penetrated into the hearts of every military minister in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Hu Youde stopped and asked someone to report the situation to Hu Shouren and Hai Rui.
Sun Guangyou, Lu Huo and others also dismounted and couldn't bear to glance at the corpses and bloody porridge in front of them. Then they had to take a detour and enter the Governor's Yamen through the back door.
At this time, inside the governor's office.
There was no more fighting.
When Hai Rui saw that the students who had rushed into the Yamen did not attack again, he also issued an order to stop the attack.
However, a few real students who had not escaped from the Governor's Yamen gained courage when they saw Sun Guangyou and other senior civil servants appearing. They immediately crawled over, knelt down in front of Sun Guangyou and others, and said with tears in their eyes:
"Fuyuan, Qian Xian and the Grand Master, you have to make the decision for the students. Hai Rui slaughtered our scholars and was no different from a cruel official, causing many of my classmates to die miserably! Woo hoo!"
"This court has not yet asked you about the crime of breaking into the official office and intending to kill me, but you are suing me first!"
Hai Rui said something and then shouted: "Hu Shouren, take down these students who complained. I want to ask them first!"
"Wait!"
At this time, Sun Guangyou shouted loudly and looked at Hai Rui angrily.
