Armor? Is this going to be a bloody suppression?
As soon as Zhao Kai said these words, even He Guan, who did not advocate comfort, was shocked.
Although he did not advocate appeasement, he did not think of bloody suppression!
After all, those who caused trouble were the Kaifeng Forbidden Army and their family members... He Guan himself was also from the Kaifeng Forbidden Army. It's just that he is one of the few good men in the Kaifeng army who can also practice martial arts, and because of this he was awarded a martial arts title.
Li Gang, He Guan, Yu Wenxuzhong and Yuwen Cuizhong all stood up and wanted to dissuade him. However, Zhao Kai waved his hand to stop him and said: "The Kaifeng Forbidden Army has no reputation for bravery. If they continue to abolish military discipline, make noises, and threaten the emperor, how can I lead them out of the city to meet the enemy and fight against the thieves? If I don't let them know how powerful they are today, how can I lead them to defend the enemy in battle tomorrow? The enemy can't be dispersed in a hurry? So there is no need for you to persuade me!"
After hearing Zhao Kai's words, He Guan of course sighed... Of course he knew the virtues of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army. These guys would really disperse on the battlefield!
Oh, in the original history, He Guan was tricked twice by the Kaifeng Forbidden Army and was killed directly.
The first time was when I met 2,000 gold soldiers led by Guo Yaoshi at the Sanshan Floating Bridge! At that time, He Guanke led 30,000 Kaifeng Forbidden Army, and there were also 7,000 cavalry from Liang Fangping!
Thirty-seven thousand against two thousand... but they dispersed in a hurry. Even the Sanshan Floating Bridge was not completely destroyed. It was just set on fire casually, but it was quickly repaired. Then the Jin army came in force and arrived outside Kaifeng Prefecture on January 8th of the first year of Jingkang!
The second time the battle started outside the city of Kaifeng. This time He Guan did not run away and let the gold thief kill him, and he became a loyal martyr directly...
Although Zhao Kai didn't know that the Kaifeng Forbidden Army tricked He into being a loyal martyr in history, he also knew that the army must obey orders and obey orders!
There is no democracy in the military! Where can I easily go to the streets and cause trouble? How can such an army fight?
And now is an extraordinary period. Not only can the Kaifeng Forbidden Army not cause trouble, but even the unruly people of Kaifeng cannot continue to be unruly.
As soon as the Supreme Emperor leaves the palace, the defense of Kaifeng Mansion and the organization, training, and equipment of the militia will be fully launched. Moreover, Zhao Kai himself will lead his elite troops out of the city to resist the gold thieves... When the time comes, his official family will no longer be in Kaifeng Mansion, and he will rely on Li Gang, Yu Wencuizhong (who was appointed by Zhao Kai to have the right to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion) and so on. People can't suppress Bian Liangzi who is making trouble at all.
If chaos breaks out in Kaifeng Mansion, how can we defend the city?
Zhao Kai's armor is a Qing Tang Hao Zi armor. It is not only strong, but also light in weight. It also sparkles when worn on the body and is very powerful. When Zhao Kai put on his armor and walked out of the hall under the protection of Li Gang, Yu Wenxuzhong, Yuwen Cuizhong, He Guan and others, outside the hall, there were already many tall men wearing front and back armor and bronze helmets. Samurai.
These people were all soldiers from the Victory Army or from the fifth command. The total number was approximately 3,780. Now they are divided into two generals, led by Xiang Ke and Huang Wuji respectively. They have been assembled and can follow Zhao Kai into battle at any time.
However, no one expected that these were probably the most effective soldiers in Kaifeng City who would be the first to deal with them. They were not gold thieves, but the three Yamen soldiers and military dependents of Kaifeng City... and they were all composed of Song Dynasty official Zhao Kai personally led them to do the dirty work!
This feeling is inevitably a little uneasy!
At this time, Zhao Kai had already stood in front of the 3,780 soldiers. He was still silent for a long time, and his eyes slowly swept over the soldiers standing below, as if he was looking at each of them.
The 3,780 soldiers who thought that the officials were watching them all puffed up their chests and looked full of energy.
After a long while, Zhao Kai took a deep breath and suddenly said: "Very good, very energetic. What I want is men like you! I don't look down on those who are scared when they hear that the gold thief is coming." Those cowardly cowards whose legs and feet are so weak that they dare not resist the enemy and only dare to make trouble with the Supreme Emperor! Now I am going to teach them a lesson and let them know what a man of the Song Dynasty should be like? Are you willing to come with me?"
"Yes! I am willing to follow the official family to kill the thieves and put an end to the chaos!"
How could you not want to?
I'm just going to teach a bunch of cowards from Kaifeng Mansion how to behave, not to kill gold thieves...
"Okay!" Zhao Kai nodded heavily and waved his hand, "Follow me. Today, I will take the lead. You can follow me to put down the chaos! You must listen to my orders. I move forward. You must also move forward. I retreat. , you have to retreat too! Do you understand?"
"I obey the order!"
"Set off!"
The soldiers below shouted again: "Long live! Long live!"
...
The street outside the north gate of Genyue is very wide, but because one side of the street is Genyue and Yanfu Palace, and the other side is the warehouse under the jurisdiction of the military supervision, so the market entrance is not prosperous, and there are almost no pedestrians on weekdays. .
But now, the eastern section of this broad street, near the north wall of Genyue, is full of people, almost all men, some young and strong, some old, some wearing civilian clothes, Some wore shabby, faded purple military uniforms. But no one was carrying weapons...it was just a riot, not a rebellion or a revolution.
These troublemakers were of course incited, but there was no organization. The meritorious families behind them don't dare to jump to the front desk, it's the Song Dynasty now! The only ones who could jump to the stage and lead this group of Kaifeng soldiers and military dependents to make a fuss were the scholars of the third school. But now students from the three schools "volunteered to join the army to serve the country" and were detained by Zhao Kai to Yanfu Palace.
Therefore, the rioting military men and family members of the forbidden army have no organization now, and they are just crowding outside Genyue and shouting in fear. Although the sound was loud, it was just a murmur, so messy that the people in Genyue Palace couldn't hear anything at all.
Tong Guan's 2000-win victorious army has already entered Genyue, and now they are all on the wall with their bows and arrows. The commander, Zhang Shizheng, was also neatly dressed, with his hand on the hilt of his sword, walking back and forth on the palace wall of Genyue. Although it was a very cold day, the old man's forehead was covered with beads of sweat... all because of urgency!
what should I do?
These rioters are relatively restrained now and have not attacked Genyue, but if no one comes forward to appease them, will the trouble get worse?
This official family is really serious. Why don't they send a minister to appease him? Could it be that the officials wanted to use these common people to cause trouble and keep the Taishang's palace in Kaifeng Mansion?
When Zhang Shizheng was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, someone beside him suddenly shouted: "Guan Guan Guan... Guan family has appeared!"
What? Officials showed up? What does it mean?
"Lieutenant Zhang, the official! The official's black bandits and cavalry have all appeared!"
"Lieutenant, it seems that the official himself is here. He, is he going to personally lead the cavalry to quell the chaos?"
Several people around Zhang Shizheng shouted. He hurriedly walked to a crenel, pushed away a soldier, and then looked up at the battlement. Sure enough, he saw six large black banners symbolizing the emperor. Under the banner, one of the cavalry led the way, and both the man and the horse were extremely tall. Although the appearance of this knight cannot be clearly seen, the knight who can ride a horse and walk under the six banners seems to be the only one in the Song Dynasty official family in the world, right?
This knight, who was suspected to be an official, wore shining iron armor and a golden bronze helmet on his head. The bright red helmet tassels kept rising and falling as the horse moved forward. Behind him, there was a field of cold-gleaming iron armor and shining golden bronze helmets, arranged eastward along the broad street north of Genyue, until the end of the street.
Obviously, these were cavalry that came from Yanfu Palace, and many of them should still be soldiers of the Victory Army under Zhang Shizheng!
Are they following the officials now... to put an end to the chaos? That shouldn't be the case, right?
While he was thinking about it, a rapid sound of drums and drums suddenly came from the armored cavalry team, and then he saw the knight who seemed to be an official suddenly pulled out a straight knife, pointed forward, and then The tall horse under his crotch began to accelerate!
The horse speed was not mentioned to be very high, but the scene of hundreds or even thousands of horsemen suddenly galloping to the sound of war drums was really scary!
The people who were making a fuss outside Genyue also noticed these cavalrymen, saw the emperor's black banner, heard the sound of drums, and saw these armored cavalry starting to run.
These people are either forbidden soldiers or military dependents. Of course they know what cavalry charging into battle is, and they also know what the emperor's six banners mean?
This is the official of the Great Song Dynasty personally bringing the cavalry to kill people!
This... the official is not only crazy, but also a martial arts lunatic. This is really scary!
The people making trouble were immediately confused. Not to mention being unarmed, even if they were given spears and crossbows, they would have to run away when they saw the enemy's cavalry!
The confused people began to run wildly, and while they were running, some people were shouting: "No, the officials are coming! This official is fierce...run away!"
The broad street north of Genyue was filled with people running wildly, and from time to time there were people trampling on each other... It was really a mess!
However, the iron cavalry led by Zhao Kai did not actually run into the troublesome Forbidden Army soldiers and family members. The war horse under his crotch rushed very slowly, leaving enough time for the Imperial Army soldiers and family members in front to dodge. Moreover, he was at the front and could completely control the rhythm and speed of the impact. When his horse was about to hit someone, he immediately tightened the reins and stopped the horse. Wait for those people to run farther away, then roar forward.
In fact, Zhao Kai's purpose was not to kill or injure others, but to make this group of Kaifeng soldiers who liked to make trouble and were afraid of going to the battlefield fear him, an official, from the bottom of their hearts!
He had to let those people know that the officials of the Song Dynasty were also ruthless, and as ruthless as gold thieves.
Only in this way can he draw out the coward soldiers in Kaifeng City to set up defenses and bluff them to scare the gold thieves.
And the effect of using thousands of armored cavalry to pretend to charge into battle to scare people must be very effective!
