"Draw your sword, charge forward, don't let them have the chance to line up and fire!"
"Damn it, these emperor's soldiers who drank ink, how can they be so desperate and dare to continue to attack such a big fire!"
Dong Chaoying immediately pulled out his sword and shouted, and then he couldn't help but cursed.
The rebels under his command who had not yet fought against the emperor's troops immediately drew their swords and took the initiative to take the ladder to the collapsed city wall, and took the initiative to fight with the emperor's troops who rushed up.
For a moment, the two sides were slashing with swords and axes, like heavy snow flying, and blood was sprayed from time to time. Along with it, some people rolled directly from the collapsed city wall and rolled on the snow, screaming incessantly.
But many people who rolled down gritted their teeth and stood up again after screaming, and continued to rush forward to fight.
Zhu Yijun was sitting in the chariot from a distance, watching this scene with clairvoyance, and his expression was very solemn.
He knew that it was all the evil done by the bureaucracy that made this scene happen.
Originally, whether they were the emperor's personal troops in the central government or the rebels such as Dong Chaoying who were originally from the border army in Shaanxi Town, they should all be soldiers of the emperor. They were loyal and brave men who fought for the Ming Dynasty together in this era. They should be united to the outside world. Together they protect and develop the prosperous Ming Dynasty.
But now, because of the evil deeds of the bureaucrats headed by Governor Dang Xin and the inaction of other bureaucrats, the two armies have become enemies of each other, and they want to take each other's lives.
Zhu Yijun also glanced at Li Ruhua who returned to the imperial court.
Li Ruhua also looked solemn at this time.
certainly.
This situation has long been common in the history of Han civilization.
As the saying goes, war is the highest level of struggle.
The struggle between the old and the new in the Ming Dynasty was inevitably expressed through war.
This situation will happen whether Zhu Yijun is willing or not.
But the absurd thing is that neither of the two parties fighting now is actually the real culprit of this dispute. Logically speaking, these people should all be supporters and beneficiaries of the new ritual.
However, this is reality.
This is a reality that Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, cannot stop.
Because he cannot completely require every bureaucrat to be selfless and have a bottom line.
After all, this is not a computer game of later generations, where loyalties can be fixed, but in reality, human nature is complex and uncontrollable.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun could only watch helplessly as his own soldiers fought with the rebels from the border army.
After all, the Emperor's own army had the advantage in numbers and firearms. In addition, most of them were elites drawn from the border troops in various towns and had stronger will to fight. Therefore, the Emperor's own army gradually gained the upper hand.
Wei Peng personally rushed to Dong Chaoying with a big sword and killed many rebels as if he was in a deserted area.
Seeing this, Dong Chaoying wiped the knife on his arm, and then took the initiative to kill Wei Peng with a fierce look on his face.
Clang!
For a moment, the two sides were mixed together, and only the shadow of the knife and the shadow of blood were seen.
It's just that Shen Yongmao didn't know when he brought his own fire blunderbuss to repel the rebel firearms soldiers, and then went around behind Dong Chaoying, killed the rebels around Dong Chaoying, and surrounded Dong Chaoying.
Dong Chaoying saw that he was trapped in a tight siege, and many people on his side had their bodies lying on the ground, so he stopped fighting and just froze in place.
Wei Peng did not take advantage of him to attack Dong Chaoying while he was distracted, and even waved his hand to stop the emperor's soldiers who came up with him from attacking Dong Chaoying. He only said to him:
"Brothers from the border army, we know that you are not to blame for getting to where you are today. If I am to blame, it's Dang Xin, the dog official. There are other officials who just want to live in harmony and are unwilling to make decisions for you. That's why You guys have come this far."
"So if we don't kill you, you can commit suicide and apologize!"
Dong Chaoying was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
"Don't betray the imperial court in the next life!"
"Although the dog officer deserves to be killed, he cannot betray His Majesty because of this. Your Majesty did not know his evil intentions and was deceived by him."
Wei Peng continued talking at this time.
After a while, Dong Chaoying smiled and said, "Thank you for your help!"
After saying that, Dong Chaoying wiped the knife across his neck and then knelt on the ground.
As a large number of rebels were killed, including Dong Chaoying, who had to commit suicide, the entire rebel army collapsed completely and lost their combat effectiveness.
And the emperor's own army successfully recovered the city of Xi'an.
Like Dong Chaoying, many rebel military academies were given the opportunity to commit suicide with the cooperation of the Emperor's own troops.
Because the emperor's own army already knew the reason for the appearance of these rebels when they were mobilized, and after completely gaining the upper hand, they also had a desire to harm these rebels and were willing to give them a chance to kill themselves.
Even the family members of these rebels were not insulted by the emperor's own army. Firstly, they wanted to abide by military discipline. Secondly, they did not have much hatred for the rebels. They only rescued the civilian girls detained by these rebels, including some who were already pearls. Those with dark knots were also sent to the doctors for temporary care.
The gentry and common people who survived in the city were not disturbed by the emperor's own army.
Therefore, after many gentry in the city discovered that the emperor's troops had shown good military discipline in retaking Xi'an City, they also came out of the cellars where they were hiding, and knelt down in front of the troops with tears in their eyes, saying that Master Wang had finally arrived.
These gentry who have experienced the disaster of the rebels are more welcoming to the emperor's troops who are now entering the city than the gentry in Huazhou who have been taught a lesson by the emperor's personal guards.
"In addition to the casualties of the soldiers who accompanied me personally on the expedition, who need to be given generous compensation, good medical treatment and burial, the corpses of the rebels should also be given coffins for burial. For the sake of them also guarding the border for the country, don't humiliate their corpses. "
Zhu Yijun also issued a benevolent edict after entering Xi'an City.
Then, after Zhu Yijun entered the city, the gentry in the city who had survived by hiding in cellars and other places also came out to greet him.
"Fortunately, our emperor personally came to save his ministers and other officials and people of Xi'an from the fire. Otherwise, I really don't know what kind of misfortune we would have suffered in the future! We only wish our emperor long live long live, long live the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will prosper forever."
At that time, the gentry Liu Shengkui knelt down on both sides of the street and spoke with tears.
Liu Shengkui should indeed be sad, because the rebels robbed his grain store and killed the slaves who ran the grain store for him. As the largest grain merchant in Xi'an, he had as many possessions as the rebels occupied Xi'an for several days. There is no income from selling grain every day.
And now that the emperor's own army has regained Xi'an and restored business order, it is indeed good news for him, so he sincerely hopes that the Ming Dynasty will prosper.
Zhu Yijun didn't say much when he saw this scene. He knew why these gentry welcomed him and his troops so much at this moment.
"Where's Zhu Yifuan?"
At this time, Zhu Yijun only asked about the whereabouts of Zhu Yizhu, the former King of Qin.
At this time, Liu Wei came up and reported: "Your Majesty, the Prince of Qin's Mansion is now empty, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Go back to your majesty, I know where King Qin and the others have gone."
Suddenly, a patched-up man kneeling on the ground shouted outside through the military wall.
Zhu Yijun looked over following the sound and saw that this strong man was wearing patched clothes and looked thin. There were many men, women, old and children kneeling around him, and they all looked like beggars.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? How do you know about the affairs of Prince Qin's palace and still treat yourself like a minister?"
"Your Majesty, I am Zhu Cuncai, the lieutenant of the Fengguo Kingdom of the Qin Dynasty. I naturally know the affairs of the Prince of Qin's Palace."
Zhu Cuncai replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked in shock: "You are actually a member of the clan, but why are you dressed so sloppily?"
"Back to your majesty, because Zhu Yipiao has been cutting off our salary, he has not allowed us to leave the city, and has sent people to keep an eye on us, so we can only live in patchwork. Now because he has escaped, we can go out of the royal city to meet him. "
Zhu Cuncai replied calmly and didn't seem to think this was too abnormal.
Zhu Yijun's face darkened and he asked, "Are those people around you also members of the clan?"
Zhu Cuncai said: "Yes, they are all members of the Qin vassal clan."
"The clans of this dynasty have become like this and are not treated as human beings. No wonder the city of Xi'an is in chaos!"
"That governor Dang Xin was just killed by the rebels. He was really given an advantage!"
Zhu Yijun complained angrily to the eunuch Tian Yi and Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue in the car.
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The three people hurriedly tried to persuade them.
Zhu Yijun asked Zhu Cucai again: "Where did Zhu Yizhuang and the others go?"
"Back to your majesty, they left Xi'an to conquer Ningxia half a month ago. They said that Ningxia King Qing refused to go to the country and appointed Zhu Yifuan as the master, so Zhu Yifuan issued an order to conquer it himself!"
Zhu Cuncai replied.
Qi Jiguang and Wang Xijue couldn't help but look at each other in astonishment.
Zhu Yijun was not too surprised after thinking about the story in the history of Nanming, and said: "This seems like something they can do."
"Send a message to the Marquis of Nanchang, asking him to send someone to inquire about the situation of Zhu Yikao's rebels. In addition, he also sent someone to ask the Marquis of Tieling if he knew about this, and told him that Xi'an has been restored, and asked him to clear out the forts around Ningxia Town as soon as possible. !”
Zhu Yijun then confirmed the matter from the Jin Yiwei sent into the city in advance, and then gave a few instructions and ordered the entire army to prepare to go north to continue to suppress the rebellion after resting.
The King of Qin, Zhu Yizhuang, indeed went north to conquer Ningxia with some of his puppet officials and some armed landlords who had surrendered to him, leaving only Dong Chaoying and others to stay in Xi'an.
Because Zhu Yifeng knew that these people were no match for the imperial army, he just wanted to escape to the north, and in the name of King Qing who was conquering Ningxia, he would not take the title of king and honor him as the king.
After knowing the news, Kuaibai was quite angry about it, and said to Cao Zideng: "Obviously it was our side that sent Tian Jingnan first, why did Zhu Yifan come to conquer our King Qing's side? This is simply unreasonable! Since Everyone wants to be in trouble, why don’t we work together first, and we have to hurt each other first!”
"Zhu Yizhen is obviously afraid of Zhu Yijun's army and Qi Jiguang, and is just looking for a reason to flee north. He does not really want to be our enemy. What the general should be worried about now is how to escape intact!"
Cao Zideng spoke at this time.
After hearing this, Kuai asked, "What do you mean, sir?"
Cao Zideng suddenly slapped the table: "What else can I mean!"
"The general is not clear about the situation at hand!"
"You Tatars can't become powerful at all! Even if Ningxia has captured more and fewer Han, the reality is that they can't even capture a flower pool, and they have to watch the troops of Li Rusong and Ma Gui. They are approaching us!"
