The three brothers acted quickly, and Zhu Gaochi went straight to the cabinet to take charge.
The little laoer rushed to the Wucheng Bingma Si Yamen as quickly as possible and took over the military power.
Then an order was issued to impose martial law throughout the city.
Xiao Laosan led the imperial army and went straight to Ji Gang's mansion.
He had just received information that Ji Gang had returned home two-quarters of an hour ago and had not yet left.
Xiao Laosan led the people to Ji Gang's mansion and saw that the gatekeepers at the door were all Jinyi guards.
"It seems that he regards Jin Yiwei as his own!" Xiao Lao San sneered.
Then he stepped forward.
"Stop, what are you doing?" The two guards in uniform at the door stretched out their hands to stop the little old man.
and asked sharply.
This is the residence of the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Who dares to break in?
They were happy for a long time when they got this janitor job.
It is said that among the seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister, their boss, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, is the emperor's confidant.
The power is so overwhelming that even Chen Ying, the former censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was killed by their boss.
That is a real powerful official of the second rank.
Let me ask, who else has this power?
Therefore, the arrogance of the two gatekeepers is understandable.
Of course, understanding is understanding, and Xiaolaosan will not spoil them.
In the entire Ming Dynasty, there are only a few people who can scare Xiao Laosan.
But this does not include Ji Gang.
I saw him raising his arms and giving him two slaps
"Arrogant!"
"With your blind eyes, you don't even recognize me."
"Get it for me!"
The little old man waved his hand, and the imperial guards behind him swarmed up and directly captured the two imperial guards.
"How presumptuous. This is the residence of Lord Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards. By acting like this, aren't you afraid that my Lord will kill you?"
Seeing that the two watchdogs dared to bark, the young man was too lazy to pay attention to them. He only said: "Shut them up."
…
At the same time, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was enjoying the service of his two beautiful concubines in the mansion.
He had quite a few beautiful concubines like this, all of whom he kept privately under the guise of choosing concubines among the people.
The extent of his lust is evident.
In addition, he coerced and castrated hundreds of young children and trained them to serve him.
His audacity is astonishing.
Hearing the noise coming from outside, Ji Gang also had a somewhat unhappy look on his face.
"Go and see what's going on?" he said to one of his men.
"yes."
Soon, this subordinate came back with a panic look on his face.
"Sir, it's not good."
"It's unbecoming to be in such a hurry. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly." Ji Gang frowned.
"yes."
"Sir, His Royal Highness King Zhao has brought the imperial army to the door."
The subordinate said.
"puff!"
Upon hearing this, Ji Gang immediately spit out the sip of old wine he had just taken into his mouth.
"What's going on? Why did King Zhao come to the door with the imperial army?"
"I ask myself, have I never offended him?"
Ji Gang's mind was spinning extremely fast, and his brain was spinning at the fastest speed in his life.
King Zhao is in charge of the Jin Yiwei, but what he brings here is not the Jin Yiwei, but the Forbidden Army.
You know, the imperial army can only be mobilized by the emperor.
When King Zhao came to visit with the imperial army, there was only one explanation, and that was that the emperor wanted to take action against him.
Could it be that...his own affairs were exposed?
Ji Gang didn't dare to take a gamble. The arrival of the Imperial Guards was enough to show the seriousness of the matter.
"Gather the soldiers and kill!"
Ji Gang said immediately.
"yes."
At this moment, Ji Gang had no intention of enjoying the service of his beautiful concubine.
With a gloomy expression, he took off the Xiuchun knife hanging on the wall.
Then he killed the two beautiful concubines who had been serving him just now.
Blood splattered on his face, but he didn't wipe it.
It just makes it look more bloodthirsty.
He knew in his heart that this was an important area of the capital, with hundreds of thousands of people in the three major battalions stationed just outside the city.
It is impossible to succeed in rebellion in the capital.
But he couldn't just surrender.
As the commander of the Jinyi Guards, he is very aware of the methods of torture in prison.
To say that one cannot live or die is a relatively modest statement.
He didn't want to suffer.
…
Xiao Laosan led people into the mansion, and then asked the imperial army to go to the backyard to arrest people.
He was waiting for news in the front yard.
However, not long after, a member of the Forbidden Army ran over covered in blood.
"Your Highness, the rebels set up an ambush in the backyard, and our brothers suffered heavy losses."
Hearing this, Xiao Laosan's face looked very ugly.
"Sure enough, Ji Gang has already turned against him."
"Continue the attack and we must catch Ji Gang, the traitor."
Little Lao San then asked: "Is this place surrounded?"
"Go back to Your Highness, we are already surrounded by our mansion, which is thirty feet in the center."
"Even a fly can't fly out."
Qian Hu, the imperial guard who came with Xiao Lao San, answered.
"good."
"Now, let's see how Ji Gang, the rebel, can escape."
Xiao Lao San said.
…
The scene in the backyard was extremely bloody, with corpses everywhere on the ground.
Ji Gang's men, all wearing armor and holding crossbows, fought back against the attacking Forbidden Army on the roof.
They are at a commanding position and have a great advantage.
Some people even have firecrackers.
The offensive of the Imperial Guards resulted in heavy casualties.
The battle report was reported to Xiao Laosan again.
The latter was also shocked when he heard the equipment configuration of Ji Gang's men.
Whether it's crossbows, armor, or guns, they are all items strictly controlled by the imperial court.
No one may keep it privately.
Where did Ji Gang get so many?
But now is not the time to think about this, Xiao Lao San suppressed the doubts in his heart.
He spoke calmly: "Give me the order to stop attacking."
Judging from the current situation, Ji Gang may have expected that such a day would come to him, so he was very well prepared.
Although it can be won through a strong attack, the losses will not be small.
"Go and set up the cannon."
"Can they still hold up the cannon!"
Xiao Lao San said.
"Your Highness, this is the inner city!" Qian Hu, the Imperial Guard beside him, persuaded.
"You have to understand that the rebels have been prepared for a long time. If they continue to attack, the casualties will be too high."
"Just adjust the cannon and win the battle quickly."
"Your Highness!"
"If anything happens, I will be responsible for it."
"Execute military orders!"
"yes."
While waiting for the artillery, Xiao Laosan ordered to strengthen the siege.
In order to prevent Ji Gang and others from breaking out and causing greater chaos in the capital.
After waiting for more than an hour, two cannons were brought over.
Place it in a good position and adjust the angle.
The little laosan didn't say any nonsense and directly ordered the firing.
Boom boom! !
After several rounds of shelling, the sturdy houses collapsed directly.
The rebel above lost his center of gravity and fell down.
"attack!"
Seeing this, Xiao Laosan gave the order, and the imperial troops behind him swarmed forward.
