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

Chapter 189: The rebellion in Xuanfu has been quelled. Your Majesty, please enter the city! (Part )
The soldiers looked at Yang Tong in silence, standing there without moving.

The soldiers were originally obedient to Yang Tong and followed his orders.

At this moment, the fear and respect in their eyes had mostly faded away.

There was an even more terrifying look in their eyes.

They had to consider how to protect themselves after Zhu Youtang entered the city.

A military mutiny broke out in Xuanfu, blocking the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty outside the city and not allowing him to enter.

The nature of this matter is extremely bad.

After Zhu Youtang entered Xuanfu, the first thing he did was to eliminate the rebels in the city.

Those soldiers who climbed up the city wall and stopped the Xianzhen Camp from attacking the city were definitely targets for purge.

If they want to save their lives, then they must perform great deeds that cannot be ignored.

So what kind of military merit can be called heavenly merit?
Climb into the formation first, kill the general and capture the flag!
These four military merits can be called heavenly merits!
Now there is no merit for being the first to reach the enemy line, breaking through the enemy line, or capturing the flag, but here is one for the enemy general.

The soldiers on the city wall began breathing faster when they saw the head on Yang Tong's neck.

Seeing that these soldiers were slow to move, Yang Tong felt both anxious and angry.

If these soldiers did not follow him, he would be a commander without troops even if he arrived in Liaodong.

When the time comes, he will be accused of stealing the Jurchens' territory, and it will be a question whether he can survive.

He must take these soldiers away!
Yang Tong, who had been bossing the soldiers around all year round, had completely lost his vigilance towards these soldiers.

He also thought that his high-pressure rule could force these soldiers to continue to obey his orders and do his bidding.

Yang Tong could no longer command these soldiers, but he was not afraid at all. Instead, he felt a sense of anger at being disobeyed.

This anger had been suppressed in his heart for a long time, and now he wanted to vent it out in one go.

Yang Tong, together with the middle-level officers around him, returned to the soldiers.

Yang Tong raised the whip in his hand and started whipping the soldiers on the heads and faces!
"How dare you disobey my military orders!"

"Follow me now! Otherwise, don't blame me for military punishment!"

"Let's go! Let's go!"

"..."

Yang Tong's whipping completely ignited the anger in the hearts of these soldiers.

The soldiers who were forced into a desperate situation shouted: "Brothers, Yang Tong is a traitor and lied about military intelligence."

"Fabricated false information that the Oirat people had captured the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and deliberately locked His Majesty outside the city!"

"What kind of behavior is this?!"

"Plotting treason!"

"How about according to the law?"

"According to the law, he should be beheaded! All nine generations of his clan should be exterminated!!!"

"Brothers! His Majesty is outside the city now, what should we do?!"

"Kill the traitors! Catch the rebels! Open the city gates! Welcome His Majesty!"

"Then kill!"

This group of soldiers suddenly rebelled again and swung their swords at Yang Tong and the middle-level generals behind him!

Yang Tong was horrified, angry and extremely shocked. "

"How dare you!!!"

Before Yang Tong finished his words, the soldiers' swords had already chopped the horses under him.

The horses were frightened and stood up, neighing, trying to escape the attack of these people.

But at this moment, dozens of long swords fell on the horse and hacked it to death on the spot.

The horse died, and Yang Tong fell to the ground, with Yang Kui's head in his hand rolling away.

"Son! My son!"

Yang Tong stared at Yang Kui's head with a focused and panicked expression, and hurriedly tried to get up to pick it up.

But the surrounding soldiers also pressed forward.

Not only did they pin Yang Tong to the ground, but they also kicked Yang Kui's head further and further away!

"No! Son! My son!"

"How dare you rebel!"

"Let me go, let me go!"

"I will kill you, I will kill all of you traitors!"

"..."

Yang Tong lay on the ground, struggling frantically, looking in a miserable state.

But he was surrounded by big men, who pinned him down so that he couldn't move.

At the same time, many people took advantage of the chaos to seek revenge, beating and kicking Yang Tong.

"Traitor! How dare you call us traitors! You are the biggest traitor to the Ming Dynasty!"

"You actually secretly organized people and launched a mutiny!"

"If we hadn't foiled your plot in time, Your Majesty would be in danger!"

"A traitor like you! Everyone has the right to kill you!
"Your entire clan should be executed and your head should be sent to the nine borders as a warning to others!"

"I bother!"

The soldiers spat on Yang Tong, almost drowning him with their saliva.

Not only Yang Tong, even their former superiors could not escape their swords.

They wielded their knives at these middle-level officers without any scruples, capturing them alive if possible, and chopping them into meat paste if not.

They spared no one of the dozens of mid-level officers.

The same thing applies to most soldiers.

Whoever wins, who they help.

"Rebellion! They are all rebelling! How dare you swing a knife at me?!"

"You unruly people are simply rebelling against the heavens!"

"No! Don't kill me! Please, let me go!"

"..."

Soon, these soldiers not only captured Yang Tong alive, but also captured dozens of officers who participated in the mutiny.

"Brothers, capture Yang Tong alive, open the gate quickly, and welcome His Majesty into the city!" "Then present these traitors to His Majesty!"

"Okay! Quickly go down to the tower and open the city gate!"

Yang Tong was so filled with hatred that he wanted to roar to the sky and bang his head against the ground!
He never expected that after he rebelled against the Ming Emperor, these relatively trusted soldiers under his command would also rebel against him.

At this moment, he was captured alive by his soldiers and was to be presented to the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Such a humiliating defeat made Yang Tong furious and ashamed to death!

When the soldiers escorted Yang Tong and others down the city wall, the Xianzhen Camp had already taken control of the city wall.

"who?!"

"Take off your armor immediately, or I will kill you without mercy!"

Xu Chang, Liu Jin and others have arrived at the city gate.

The thirty thousand soldiers in the trap camp watched them hungrily, ready to kill them at any time!

Faced with Xu Chang's scolding, the soldiers who captured Yang Tong and others alive hurriedly explained.

"Your Excellency! We are the Xuanfu City Defense Force!"

"We just saw Yang Tong and other traitors trying to climb the city wall and escape through the Great Wall."

"We will immediately capture Yang Tong alive and prepare to present him to His Majesty!"

"Our loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is evident to all!"

"It was all because of this traitor Yang Tong, the traitor, who lied about military intelligence, fabricated things out of thin air, and deceived us all!"

After saying this, the soldiers immediately knelt on the ground and took off their armor.

"You guys did a great job!"

Upon hearing the news that Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu, had been captured, Xu Chang and Liu Jin were cheered up and extremely happy!

Xu Chang waved his hand, and a small team was immediately separated from the Xianzhen Camp to control Yang Tong and others.

Liu Jin stared at Yang Tong sinisterly, with a cruel smile on his lips.

He now wished he could torture Yang Tong to death on the spot, but he held back.

Although Yang Tong is important, he and Xu Chang have more important things to do now.

That is to welcome the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youtang, into the city.

Like Wang Chun before, Xu Chang first shouted towards the outside of the city.

"General Gao Shun, I am Xu Chang!"

"We have already taken control of Xuanfu. Please step back and we will open the gate!"

When Gao Shun heard Xu Chang's roar, his frown quietly relaxed.

He felt a sense of surprise in his heart. He didn't expect that Xu Chang had already taken control of Xuanfu.

He had heard a burst of noisy shouting coming from Xuanfu City.

But he had no idea that these were the troops under Xu Chang, fighting for control of Xuanfu.

They don't even need to take any action now, Xu Chang has already controlled Xuanfu!

What a pleasant surprise, congratulations!

Gao Shun waved his hand and the Xianzhen Camp stopped the attack.

After Gao Shun led the Xianzhen Camp to retreat several meters, the Xuanfu city gate, which had been tightly closed, finally opened.

Inside the gate of Xuanfu city, there were countless soldiers stationed nearby.

Xu Chang and Liu Jin were standing in the middle of the city gate. After the gate opened, Gao Shun and Xu Chang saw each other at a glance.

Gao Shun and Xu Chang couldn't help feeling a little emotional. When Xu Chang led the Ming expeditionary force to the northwest, it was still autumn.

Now when he came back, it was already halfway through spring and summer was about to begin.

After an absence of nearly a year, Xu Chang excitedly went out of the city to welcome him.

"General Gao Shun!"

Gao Shun also jumped off his horse and came in front of Xu Chang.

There was no time to reminisce and exchange pleasantries. Gao Shun always kept his responsibilities in mind.
"What's going on in Xuanfu City?"

"Have the rebels been cleared out?"

"Can we welcome His Majesty into the city?"

Xu Chang bowed and said, "General, Xuanfu has been controlled. Yang Tong, the general of Xuanfu, has been captured. There are no rebels in the city who dare to resist."

"Xuanfu is safe now. We can welcome His Majesty into the city!"

"it is good!"

Gao Shun let out a long sigh and patted Xu Chang on the shoulder.

"You and I will talk later. You should get ready to welcome His Majesty into the city."

"I will report this to His Majesty now. Please enter the city!"

"Yes, General Gao Shun!"

After Gao Shun finished his instructions, he returned to his warhorse, jumped on the horse, turned his horse's head, and galloped in the direction of Zhu Youtang.

The 50,000-strong Xianzhen Camp was divided into two teams and lined up outside the Xuanfu City, waiting for Zhu Youtang's arrival.

……

Inside the camp where Zhu Youtang is located.

Many people have seen the city wall opening, and some have even seen Xu Chang.

The opening of the Xuanfu city gate means that everything has been settled.

Many people in the ranks of civil and military officials have begun to tremble.

Xu Pu and Liu Daxia looked ashen and knelt dejectedly on the ground.

The Oirat people were confused and looked around in confusion.

After reading it from beginning to end, Bolohan finally came to a surprising conclusion.

It seems that a mutiny broke out among the Ming Dynasty's border troops?

So Zhu Youtang led the army personally to quell the rebellion?
Thinking of this, Boluohan couldn't help but look at Zhu Youtang's dragon sedan, his heart filled with shock.

At this moment, Gao Shun had already arrived outside Zhu Youtang's dragon sedan chair.

Gao Shun dismounted, knelt on one knee in front of Zhu Youtang's dragon sedan chair, and bowed to report.

"Your Majesty, the rebellion in Xuanfu has been quelled, the city gates have been opened, please enter the city!"
