Desert Eagle Suletan Khan
Chapter 1067: Blood-stained Long Knife Sleepless Night
The sound of artillery fire was an order. Upon hearing the sound of artillery fire, the peaceful city of Shenyang suddenly became chaotic, with flames shooting up into the sky everywhere.
Prince Rui's Mansion, located between the Bell Tower and the Drum Tower, at the intersection of Tongtian Street and Zhongjie Street, was originally where Dorgon lived, but now it has been converted into a granary for the Guards. More than 500 Eight Banners children, led by the former General of the Plain White Banner, He Yuetu, and Deputy General E Hai, attacked the granary. After all, Shenyang City was where Huang Taiji proclaimed himself emperor, and half of the residents in the city were Manchus. Although Zu Zepu and Nalan Mingzhu only brought more than 100 men from the Thirteen Yamen to lurk in Shenyang, a large number of Eight Banners children who were dissatisfied with the status quo have developed and are ready to make trouble during this period of time. These Eight Banners children used to enjoy the banner salary of the Qing Dynasty, and they were well fed and well-drinking. After the Guards came, they naturally would not pay them banner salary. Without a source of livelihood, they had to find a hard life in the city. Life was hard, and they thought more and more about the good of the Qing Dynasty. Under the instigation of the Thirteen Yamen, they participated in the uprising. Food is the guarantee of stabilizing the morale of the army. If the food of the guards can be burned, it will certainly disrupt the plan of the guards to move south. Therefore, Zu Zepu arranged more than 500 of the most elite Eight Banners who had served in the army and had combat experience to attack the granary.
"Brothers, follow me, the emperor will not forget our contribution!" He Yuetu, a white-haired veteran of the Huang Taiji period, shouted as he personally led his family's baoyi to attack the Yuan Rui Prince's mansion with long ladders. He had been through many battles, and most of his family's baoyi had been on the battlefield and were quite fierce. Behind him, E Hai also led his own baoyi to follow closely.
The granary was an important place, so there were naturally elite soldiers stationed there. Chahan, the grandson of Kundulun Ubash, the chief of the guards and the great taiji of the Khoshut tribe, led a thousand soldiers to guard here. Hearing the noise, Chahan was not panicked at all. He ordered his men to climb the wall of the palace and fire at the bottom of the wall. In order to ensure the safety of the military food, the defenders were equipped with advanced flintlock rifles. Even if the Eight Banners sons held wooden signs, they could not stop the shooting of the muskets and fell one after another.
"Bang~" accompanied by the sound of a gunshot, He Yuetu's body trembled and slowly fell to the ground.
"Fire rockets, fire~" Seeing the situation was not good, E Hai, who took over the command, ordered his men to fire rockets, hoping to set the military rations on fire. Not to mention that the wall was very high and it was not easy to shoot into it, even if it was shot into the granary, the granary had a water reservoir, and the defenders could easily put out the fire. Chahan defended as solid as a mountain.
The Prince Zhuang's Mansion outside the west wall of the Imperial Palace was where the fifth son of Huang Taiji, Shuo Sai, lived. Now it is the armory of the guards and was also attacked by the Five Hundred Eight Banners led by Ahai, a former Sanqilang of the Qing Dynasty. The situation was similar to that of the Prince Rui's Mansion. The guards guarding the armory easily defended the wall and killed a large number of rebels under the wall.
Near Tianyou Gate (Xiaonan Gate), Shu Shu, a former Qing imperial guard, led 58 bannermen in a desperate attempt to seize the gate, hoping to occupy and open it to leave a retreat for the rebels in the city.
In addition, rebels were setting fires in every street and alley, especially in the Han Chinese residential area of "Nanshi", which was burned and killed severely by the rebels. They hoped to create chaos and give themselves an opportunity to burn the military rations, weapons and ammunition of the guards.

There was chaos in Shenyang City, but the instigators of the rebellion, Zu Zepu and Nalan Mingzhu, were hiding on the Barhu Mountain outside the city, observing the situation in the city.
"Brother, do you think Ambada and his men can kill the pseudo-Khan?" Nalan Mingzhu asked Zu Zepu.
"It's difficult. Not to mention that we can't confirm whether the pseudo-Khan is in Feilong Pavilion tonight. Even if we can confirm it, we will rely on luck to hit the target. Firing is just to attract the attention of the garrison in the city and create opportunities for Yue Tu, A Hai and others to seize the granary and armory of the guards. If the granary and armory of the guards can be destroyed, it will definitely delay the time for the guards to move south and buy time for our main force to capture Datong," Zu Zepu said calmly.
"What if we can't take it?" Nalan Mingzhu asked again.
"Even if we can't capture it, we can still shake the rule of Wei State in Shenyang. Don't forget that Wei State has Shengjing as its capital. Such turmoil under the emperor's feet will have a great impact on the prestige of the pseudo-Khan," Zu Zepu smiled. "Oh, my brother is still wise!" Nalan Mingzhu admired sincerely.
"Have all the brothers evacuated?" Zu Zepu suddenly asked.
"The leaders of each line have retreated outside the city as you ordered, but Amba and his fifty brothers probably won't be able to come back," Nalan Mingzhu sighed.
"Before the incident, I have made it clear to Amba and the others that the court will take good care of their families. This incident has become so serious that if we don't hand over some of our people, it will be difficult for others to collect intelligence in Shengjing in the future~" Zu Zepu said slowly.

On the Phoenix Tower, looking at the flames all over the city, the Great Khan Lianhua seemed to calm down. He said to everyone around him: "Don't worry about me, quickly mobilize troops to quell the rebellion. Order Enhe Batu to go to Li Wangfu, Mandulatu to Rui Wangfu, Urrigendalai to go to Zhuang Wangfu, Buhe Altu to Tianyoumen, Nagat, Toroshihu, Shilabu, and Okchotbu to patrol the streets on all sides. Pass on my oral order: Anyone wandering outside tonight must be a rebel, and they must be killed. Close all doors tightly, and don't let any rebel escape."
"Yes," the confidant was ordered to spread the message everywhere.
Following the military orders, the guards began a bloody massacre. Mandulatu's troops quickly rushed to the Ruiwang Mansion. The rebels, who had been somewhat overwhelmed by the defenders' muskets, collapsed immediately. In the chaos, Ehai was smashed in the head by Mandulatu's mace; Urgendalai led his troops to defeat the rebels led by Ahai, and Ahai himself died in the battle; Shushu, the leader of the Qing guards who attacked Tianyou Gate, was beheaded by Buhe Altu; the guards patrolling the streets and alleys in the city faithfully carried out the imperial edict of the Great Khan of Lotus, and saw people wandering outside, regardless of their identity or reason, and regarded them as rebels and killed them without mercy. The strong smell of blood filled the city of Shenyang. As lives were lost one after another, the originally noisy city of Shenyang quickly became quiet.
However, the cavalry led by Chang En and Batu did not find the person who fired at the palace in the Prince Li's mansion. After all, An Ba Da was the head of the Thirteen Yamen Wubeiyuan, and he immediately left the Prince Li's mansion with his men after firing two rounds of artillery.
"Search everywhere. If you find the enemy, remember to fire a flare arrow," Enhebatu ordered with a stern face. The Khan had ordered that the person who fired the cannon must be killed. If he failed to complete this order, he would be punished, so he sent out the scouts who were best at tracking to search everywhere for the person who fired the cannon.
"Chi~Chi~Chi~" After a while, three arrow sounds suddenly came from the northeast of Prince Li's Mansion.
"Over there, chase them!" Enhe Batu roared and galloped towards that direction. His men eventually caught up with and surrounded Anbada and his fifty men. Even the most elite soldiers were no match for the army. Although Anbada and his men were very brave, they were quickly killed by the rushing guards.
"Pass on my military order, give these corpses another blow. The Khan has ordered that all those who bombarded the palace must be killed, and not a single one should be spared," Enhebatu ordered coldly. (End of this chapter)
