Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 188: The rebellion in Xuanfu has been quelled. Your Majesty, please enter the city! (Part )
Hundreds of low-level soldiers have gathered around Wang Chun and Wang Shi.

After they seized control of the Xuanfu city gate from those middle-level officers, they did not open the gate rashly, but first spoke to the expeditionary forces outside the city.

"Ming Expeditionary Force! We are here to open the door for you!"

"Xuanfu General Yang Tong wants to stop us from opening the door for you, but we have no ill will towards you!"

"We! Open the door!"

After Wang Chun shouted, he and everyone else pushed open the city gate of Xuanfu.

In the distance, Yang Tong, who was surrounded by the lower-level soldiers, heard Wang Chun's shouting and saw Wang Chun opening the door. He was so angry that his eyes seemed to be spitting fire.

"Stop! I told you to stop!"

"Don't open the door! Don't open the door!"

"How dare you disobey military orders? I will kill you! I must kill you!"

"..."

Yang Tong screamed heartbreakingly, his eyes full of despair.

He was still some distance away from the city gate and it was too late for him to stop Wang Chun and the others from opening the gate.

He could only watch Wang Chun and his men open the city gate of Xuanfu and let the Ming expeditionary force enter the city!
Outside Xuanfu City, Xu Chang heard Wang Chun's shouting.

Xu Chang raised his hand and gave an order, asking the 100,000-strong army to temporarily stop the attack and retreat a distance.

At this moment, Xuanfu City was no longer as quiet as before, but was filled with noisy sounds of fighting.

Through Wang Chun's shouting, Xu Chang roughly judged that there should be two different forces fighting in Xuanfu City at this moment.

Needless to say, one side was the rebel army led by Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu, who did not dare to open the city gate of Xuanfu.

The other side is the loyal army who are shouting at the city gate and want the gate to be opened.

But how to distinguish between the two sides is a problem.

In order not to harm friendly forces, Xu Chang came up with a solution in a split second.

"All troops, listen up! Once the gate is opened, enter the city quickly!"

"After entering the city, immediately shout out to all the soldiers in Xuanfu to immediately disarm and surrender control of Xuanfu."

"Anyone who resists orders will be killed immediately!"

"Yes, Governor!"

One hundred thousand Ming expeditionary forces all obeyed the order.

Soon after the order was issued, the gate of Xuanfu city finally opened slowly in front of the 100,000-strong army.

"Enter the city!"

"Come on!"

The moment the gate opened, the 30,000-strong Xianzhen Camp of the Ming expeditionary force was at the forefront and was the first to rush into the city.

After the Xianzhen Camp were the soldiers from the Three Thousand Camp, the Five Army Camp and the Shenji Camp.

The Ming expeditionary force has entered the city!
"All the soldiers of Xuanfu, listen to my orders!"

"Disarm and abandon your troops immediately and surrender control of Xuanfu!"

"Otherwise, we will kill you without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp who entered the city first loudly conveyed Xu Chang's orders, asking the soldiers who were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty not to resist.

After hearing this, Wang Shi and others subconsciously looked at Wang Chun.

"Brother, they asked us to take off our armor, shall we?"

Wang Chun only thought for a short time and made a judgment immediately.

"Remove armor!"

Wang Chun knew that once the 100,000-strong Ming expeditionary force entered the city, the chaotic situation in Xuanfu would be immediately under control and it would not be their turn to take action.

Their armed forces would affect the judgment of the Ming expeditionary force.

In the battle for Xuanfu, the role that these low-level soldiers from Xuanfu can play is very limited.

Opening the gate of Xuanfu was the limit of what they could do.

The subsequent development of events was no longer under their control.

Wang Chun took the lead in taking off his armor, and Wang Shi and others followed suit and threw away their weapons.

As expected, the Xianzhen Camp did not make things difficult for those who had lost all means of resistance.

They rushed forward to chase and kill those generals who fled.

In Xuanfu City, the fear in the hearts of the generals who participated in Yang Tong’s mutiny plan has reached its peak, and their spirits are on the verge of collapse!
When they saw 100,000 Ming expeditionary forces rushing into the city, they subconsciously ran towards Yang Tong at the fastest speed.

"General Yang! What should we do?! They are entering the city!!!"

"General Yang! You better think of a solution!"

"It's over! We're all finished!"

"..."

Yang Tong, who was surrounded by middle-level generals, also looked panicked.

The current situation in Xuanfu is a dead end for him.

All his resistance now is just a fight of a trapped beast.

If he wanted to survive, he had no choice but to escape from Xuanfu.

But if you want to escape towards the grassland, the 100,000-strong Ming expeditionary force is in that direction.

When fleeing to the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang personally led his troops to guard in this direction.

The only way Yang Tong could think of to escape was to climb up the city wall again, cross the Great Wall, and flee to Liaodong.

After arriving in Liaodong, we can continue northward and occupy the territory of Nuzhen in Jianzhou.

If he couldn't beat Zhu Youtang, could he not deal with the group of wild boars who still lived in the mountains? Thinking of this, Yang Tong gritted his teeth and ordered: "Go! Go to the other side of the city wall."

"Take your personal soldiers and follow me to Liaodong!"

After saying that, Yang Tong turned his horse around and galloped towards the city wall facing the interior of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, although the city wall facing the grassland had been opened by Wang Chun, 100,000 expeditionary troops of the Ming Dynasty were continuously pouring into Xuanfu from the city gate.

But the city wall on the other side was still under Yang Tong's control.

Before this, he had sent a large number of mid-level generals and their personal troops to climb the city wall here to resist the siege of the Xianzhen Camp led by Gao Shun.

So he can now take these soldiers with him and flee to Liaodong.

When Yang Tong and a group of middle-level generals fled to the other side of the city wall.

After entering the city, the 100,000-strong Ming expeditionary force was carrying out a brutal cleansing of Xuanfu behind them.

All soldiers who refuse to take off their armor will be ruthlessly slaughtered by these 100,000 expeditionary forces.

After learning the identity of the 100,000 expeditionary forces, all the lower-level soldiers followed their orders and gave up resistance.

For most of the lower-level soldiers, they have not yet reacted to what exactly happened in Xuanfu.

They are just following orders anyway, so they will obey the orders of whoever wins.

Only those soldiers who participated in the mutiny would be afraid of being purged afterwards and still attempt to resist.

Of course, there were also some rebels who were hoping for a lucky break. They laid down their armor and weapons and gave up resistance in the hope of escaping.

As for cleaning up these rebels, that is another matter.

At this moment, the Ming expeditionary force is rapidly taking over control of Xuanfu at a swift speed.

Outside Xuanfu City, Liu Jin looked at the wide-open city gate, unable to suppress the desire for revenge in his heart.

Liu Jin turned to look at Xu Chang and said anxiously: "Governor Xu, the door is open, let's go in!"

Liu Jin now only wanted to quickly enter Xuanfu, find out the people who attacked them that night, and then impose the most cruel punishment on them.

This is his personality. He will never let go of any grudge, holds grudges very much and has a strong desire for revenge.

But what he didn't know was that the personal soldiers of Yang Tong who attacked them that night had now become part of the Jingguan of Tumu Fort.

Xu Chang waited until his 100,000 troops had taken the initiative in Xuanfu City before he led the remaining troops into Xuanfu.

As soon as he entered the gate of Xuanfu City, Xu Chang asked around: "Who opened the gate for me just now? Who was shouting to me?"

The lower-level soldiers around who had given up resistance all looked at Wang Chun at the same time.

Wang Chun also took the initiative to step forward and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, it's me."

"Very good, the army entered the city, put order out of chaos, and suppressed the rebels. You should be credited with the first merit!"

"I will take credit for you in front of His Majesty!"

Hearing Xu Chang's words, Wang Chun became extremely excited and immediately knelt down in front of Xu Chang.

"Governor, I don't want any credit. I just want you to convey a few words to His Majesty!"

There is one thing that has always been a concern for Wang Chun.

And this matter can only be resolved by His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the world.

As long as this matter can be resolved, Wang Chun will die without regrets!
Xu Chang nodded, without asking further questions: "We'll talk about these things later."

"The Xianzhen Camp, listen up and open the other city gate!"

"The soldiers of the other three camps, take control of the entire city of Xuanfu and suppress all rebellious forces!"

"Yes, Governor!"

Under Xu Chang's order, 30,000 soldiers from the Xianzhen Camp ran straight towards the other side of the city wall.

At this moment, Yang Tong had already climbed onto the city wall with a group of middle-level generals.

The soldiers on the city wall's counterattack against the trapped camp below the city was still so weak and powerless.

But now Yang Tong was no longer in the mood to scold them for their slacking behavior.

He immediately ordered the soldiers: "Everyone, follow me immediately!"

After Yang Tong finished speaking, he took a group of middle-level officers and ran towards Liaodong from the city wall.

But after running for a while, he suddenly realized that the number of soldiers following him was pitifully small.

Most of the soldiers were still standing there, looking at them hesitantly.

Yang Tong turned his horse around, stared at the group of soldiers fiercely, and shouted, "What are you still doing standing there?"

"Hurry up and catch up!"

"Are you also going to disobey military orders?"

"Do you know the consequences of disobeying military orders?!"

Officers like Yang Tong all rode on war horses and ran up the city wall.

They ran effortlessly, but the soldiers on the city wall had no horses.

Follow you?
Where to go?
Without war horses and logistical supplies, where can they go relying only on their legs?
Besides, in this situation, can I really follow you?
The soldiers on the city wall were not blind. They were in a high position and had seen everything that happened in Xuanfu.

One hundred thousand Ming expeditionary forces have entered Xuanfu, and outside Xuanfu there are 50,000 Xianzhen Camp and 10,000 Factory Guards.

The most important thing is that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also came to Xuanfu in person.

The situation is now very clear, Yang Tong has been defeated.

Those who followed Yang Tong were almost all middle-level military officers who had fallen too deeply into trouble and could not escape, and would definitely be liquidated.

Apart from these, there are the true die-hard confidants and the loyal ones.

Obviously, these soldiers who stayed behind were not.

They are also considering their own interests and they also want to leave a way out for themselves.
