The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 126
Nanjing Jingying is worse than Beijing Jingying.

Not only the middle and senior generals are served by the sons of honored nobles, but even the low-level generals and a large number of ordinary soldiers are the offshoots and servants of the honored nobles.

After more than 200 years, there has been no war for a long time, and in Nanjing, a land of pink, it can no longer be described as bad, it is simply worse than the guards.

Otherwise, dozens of Japanese pirates would not have been able to kill the city of Nanjing, show off their might, and leave afterwards.

That is to say, the world has been in chaos in the past few years, and the rebels once killed Fengyang, Luzhou, Jiangxi, and the civil unrest in Zhejiang, which made Wei Guogong and other nobles feel a sense of crisis, so they recruited some new recruits. The Beijing camp finally had [-] to [-] people who could barely be called soldiers.

However, at the beginning, the military salary was paid in a serious manner for a month or two, and the food was full for a month or two. After a long time, the military salary continued to decrease, the food continued to deteriorate, and finally returned to the old way.

Well, a few months ago, the incident of setting up a new king happened, but some military pay was paid, and I ate a few full meals.

At this moment, at the Beijing camp outside the city, seeing the nearly ten thousand troops suddenly approaching, fifty or sixty thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp panicked, and took up their swords and guns one after another at the beckoning of the officers.

"Li Zongbing, what do you mean?"

A group of honorable children came to the gate of the camp in armor, looked at Li Dakai and the murderous army behind him, and asked nervously.

The leader is none other than Wei Guogong's son, the deputy general of the Beijing camp.

"This general is ordered to take over the Beijing camp. If he encounters obstacles, he will be killed!" Li Dakai held up the imperial edict.

"It is ordered to take over the Beijing camp. If you encounter obstacles, you will be killed!"

The tens of thousands of troops behind them also waved their weapons and shouted in unison. The murderous aura scared the whole group of honorable children back a few steps subconsciously.

The tens of thousands of soldiers in the battalion even had trembling legs, and the timid weapons almost fell to the ground without holding them firmly.

"General Li, Nanjing Jingying also belongs to the Son of Heaven's army, and we have always served as generals. I don't know whose order you are under?"

Wei Guogong's son insisted strongly.

Obviously he is unwilling to hand over military power at all. In this special period, once the Beijing camp is handed over, it will be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

"Of course it is the order of His Majesty and the Imperial Concubine."

"General Li, unless the imperial concubine or empress arrives in person, or there is an edict from His Majesty revoking the Nanjing Jingying, I forgive you for not letting you in."

"Kill me, anyone who does not put down their weapons and surrender will be killed without mercy!"

Seeing this, Li Dakai also knew that it was impossible to accept it peacefully, and he also didn't want to delay any longer, so he pinned the imperial decree to his waist, pulled out his long knife with a clang, and let out a loud shout.

"kill!"

Immediately, [-] soldiers of the Chinese army couldn't wait to kill them.

"Quick, block them..."

All the honorable disciples backed away in fright, shouting at the same time.

They didn't expect that Li Dakai would dare to make a real move. At the same time, he also understood that His Majesty may not be able to tolerate them anymore, and now he can only give it a go.

After all, who knows if the imperial decree in Li Dakai's hands is true?

There are still some servants around the group of honorable children, and their equipment is also good. After listening to their master's order, they subconsciously went up to kill them.

But where is the opponent of the Chinese army who is like a wolf and a tiger?

They were cut down to the ground after three strikes, five cuts, and two. As for the ordinary soldiers, they were even more unbearable. After being hacked to death and wounding hundreds of people, they dropped their weapons and knelt down and surrendered. All the honorable children were also tied up.

6 to 1 horses were easily captured by Li Dakai leading [-] people.

At this time, the team in charge of raiding the houses in the city did not go well. Seeing the groups of soldiers rushing past on the street, the whole city of Nanjing was in a commotion.

Almost everyone knows something big is up.

"Brothers, look quickly, these soldiers and horses seem to be heading for Duke Wei's mansion."

"No way? Could it be that the imperial concubine wants to touch Wei Guogong?"

Seeing the soldiers running past on the street, all the scholars upstairs looked at each other in blank dismay, and then came to their senses, all of them were shocked.

"It's very possible, let's go, go and have a look."

A scholar with extraordinary bearing rushed out immediately, with excitement on his face.

"Brother Mi, wait for me..." The others also reacted, and rushed downstairs.

This group of scholars were not unknown people, but Chen Zhenhui, Hou Fangyu, Fang Yizhi, Mao Pijiang and others who were known as the four sons of Jinling.

As the news spread, more and more scholars and common people rushed to watch the fun, and even some brothel women couldn't help rushing over after receiving the news.

There is no way, the news is too shocking, all the noble mansions in the entire Nanjing city were surrounded by soldiers and horses brought by the imperial concubine.

Obviously these nobles are not welcomed in the city of Nanjing. Normally, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out. Now the imperial concubine is very likely to eradicate all these nobles. How can everyone not be excited?
At the moment, at the gate of Duke Wei's mansion, Xu Lan personally led a hundred female soldiers and a thousand soldiers to beat the gate.

But no matter how much they knocked and threatened, the people inside just wouldn't open the door, and even started to block the door. It can be seen that these noble slaves are used to being arrogant, and now they don't even pay attention to the imperial decree.

"How courageous, demolish my house, knock on the door, dare to resist, no matter who you are, you will be killed on the spot!"

When the female general Xu Lan saw that she had taken out the Emperor's Edict, but it didn't work, and seeing that there were more and more people onlookers, she was also so angry that her eyebrows stood erect, and immediately gave the order to attack.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

"Damn, what are you doing here? Have you never seen the house raid?"

Seeing the soldiers rushing towards them with their knives in hand, the people on the street retreated in fright, but no one left.

Obviously, they don't want to miss the scenes where the high-ranking ladies and wives of the country are tied up on weekdays.

"Brother Mi, this, this is really going to take over Duke Wei's mansion." Mao Pijiang watched the soldiers tear down a pillar and really started to hit the gate of Duke Wei's mansion, his jaw almost dropped in shock.

"Tsk tsk, this imperial concubine is really crazy, she is indeed a strange woman who cooked and ate King Fu."

Fang Yizhi pouted with gloating expression on his face.

"Brother Mi, be careful. The matter of King Fu being boiled was done by a thief. What is it with the imperial concubine?"

"Yes, yes, I made a slip of the tongue."

Fang Yizhi hurriedly laughed along with him.

That day, Hong Niangzhang revealed the fact that Fu Wang stepped on his father and ran out over the wall in the court hall, and everyone knew about it in just two days.

When Fu Wang learned about it, he was not to be outdone, and spread rumors that his father was boiled and eaten by the red lady on the way to the capital.

As a result, there are people who believe it.

boom!
With a bang, the gate of Duke Wei's mansion was finally knocked open, and the soldiers didn't even need Xu Lan's orders, they just rushed in, killing anyone who didn't kneel down while holding a weapon.

For a while, screams and wailing continued.

"This... this really kills!"

"Come on!"

Seeing that the knife was used to kill people, the onlookers finally feared that the fish in the pond would be harmed, so they ran away screaming.

"Brother Hou, Brother Fang, hurry up, don't watch the excitement, find a place to hide, not only Wei Guogong, but all the nobles have been confiscated, and the whole city is about to become a mess."

A scholar hurried over and reported to Fang Yizhi and others out of breath.

"what?"

Everyone exclaimed again.

Then they all hid in the nearby buildings, never daring to stay on the street again.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw groups of big men with sharp knives coming towards us along the streets.

They were all big and small gangs in Nanjing city.

And the backers behind these big and small gangs are the nobles. After receiving the news, they brought people here in a hurry.

For a moment, the people in the city were so frightened that they ran away one after another, falling into complete chaos, and countless local hooligans also got out and began to take advantage of the fire to loot.

At the same time, in Fengtian Hall.

Hearing the shouts and howls coming from the city, all the officials turned around anxiously.

Seeing such a big commotion, Zhang Yan, who was in the main seat, couldn't sit still. Only the red lady remained expressionless, as if she hadn't heard any movement in the city.

"Your Majesty, I have reminded you a long time ago, but you just didn't listen. It's all right now. Judging by the movement, I'm afraid the whole city has fallen into chaos."

"Oh! How can this be good?"

Everyone complained.

"Ying'er..." Zhang Yan also looked at the red lady with a worried face.

"Auntie, don't worry, this situation was already expected by my niece and daughter-in-law, just in time for all the ghosts and monsters in the city to come out, and it will be settled in one go, so as not to cause trouble in the future, I have ordered Li Dakai to lead troops into the city to quell the chaos."

The red lady came to her side and whispered.

"But how many innocent people will be hurt by such turmoil?" Zhang Yan said sadly, obviously blaming Hong Niang for her disorderly behavior.

"Auntie, tens of millions of people died in the north, aren't they innocent? There is no one out of ten people in Henan, so should [-]% of them deserve to die?

How come the lords and ladies in the south of the Yangtze River can spend a whole day in fine clothes and fine food, singing, dancing and having fun, while the people in the north are so hungry that they can’t eat enough, and their sons eat each other? "

The red lady said angrily.

Obviously, he hated these rich people in Jiangnan extremely from the bottom of his heart.

If she is still a traitor now, she must kill them all.

Zhang Yan had never seen the tragic situation in Henan like the red lady, so naturally she couldn't understand her mentality, so she had to keep her face sullen and silent.

Outside the city, after Li Dakai left 5000 people to guard the Beijing camp, he brought the remaining 5000 people into the city and began to quell the chaos.

As for the 1 people in the city, in addition to 2000 people blocking the city gates and docks, and 2000 people guarding the palace, the remaining 6000 people were arrested in various noble mansions, and then killed the gangsters who came, and there was no control over the city. mess.

Although it took only half an hour from the chaos in the city to the arrival of Li Dakai's troops, the whole city of Nanjing was still polluted.

Countless hooligans and gang members who were killed and scattered frantically smashed and looted within half an hour, and the crime of raping money was the first to bear the brunt.

Many big households suffered disaster and were rushed in by local hooligans.

"Kill! Anyone who robs things or treacherously steals money will be killed!"

After Li Dakai entered the city, he saw the rioters on the street, and immediately started hacking and killing them.
