Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 120 It's Just a Little Riot
Fortunately, in this day and age, Xungui's family didn't have any wine bags or food bags, so their children rushed forward with their servants to help the officers and soldiers stabilize their positions.

"Master Xiang, retreat to the Meridian Gate, the outer imperial city is too big, we can't defend it at all!" Seeing this, Xue Xiang hurriedly asked for instructions.

"No!" Li Shanchang said decisively: "Even if we die, we can't let those untouchables defile the Forbidden City!"

As he said so, he pulled out his sword, cut off a part of his beard and said, "Those who dare to retreat will have such a beard!"

"Here!" A group of officers and soldiers, noble sons and servants responded loudly, blood pouring into their pupils immediately!
The military order of the Ming Dynasty fell like a mountain, and those who retreated would undoubtedly die, and it would also cause the family to suffer an indelible shame.

Better to fight to the death!

Then fight to the death!
The two parties were so angry at the top of the city, there were shouts of killing, screams, metal impacts, sharp knives piercing flesh, blood and flesh flying everywhere, and broken corpses kept falling inside and outside Chengtian Gate...

~~
At this time, the sky was getting brighter, and the two sides were still fighting in full swing.

Suddenly there was the sound of rumbling horseshoes in the distance, and a large group of cavalry swept along the Tianjie.

Those thousands of riders were extremely fast, and they were approaching in a blink of an eye, and the two warring parties quickly saw their flags clearly.

"It's Fengyang Zuowei who is back!"

"There is also the right back!" The morale of the defensive side was immediately boosted, and the exhaustion all over the body was swept away!

But the offensive on the offensive side has also become more violent.Seeing that they had no way out, the folk husbands went all out.

I have a cheap life, and I will fall down when I die.On the other side, everyone's life is precious, and if they all die together, they will not lose money, and if they kill one, they will make a lot of money.

They completely disregarded their own life and death, and even took the initiative to add sharp blades to their bodies in exchange for the opportunity to hug the enemy and jump off the top of the wall.Even if they can't die together, they must be killed with a knife!Without a weapon, you have to bite off a piece of meat with your mouth!
As a result, the battle on the top of the city became even more intense...

Outside the imperial city is another scene. The cavalry of the left and right guards of Fengyang are elite troops who can drive the Mongols back to Mobei.They wielded their long knives ferociously, and skillfully harvested the heads of the 'disorderly people', completely massacring them one-sidedly.

In a blink of an eye, the Tianjie was filled with the corpses of the Red Turban soldiers and civilian husbands, blood flowed everywhere, gathered into a river, and flowed into the deep moat...

Under this brutal unilateral massacre, the uprising civilians finally couldn't hold on, collapsed and fled in all directions...

The cavalry of the officers and soldiers did not stop them, but rushed back and forth along the moat to relieve the pressure on the defenders on the top of the city.

Without continuous follow-up support, the insurgents on the top of the city gradually couldn't hold on, and were soon divided and surrounded, and then disappeared at the top of the city like boiling soup and snow...

As the last Red Turban Army was picked off by Jiang Xiahou's son Zhou Ji with a spear, the battle to defend the Forbidden City finally came to an end.

Up and down the imperial city, there were cheers everywhere.

Seeing the bloodstains all over the imperial city under the rising red sun, Li Shanchang felt shocking.

"Oh, I'm so old, I thought I could sit back and relax with the Forbidden City." He sighed and collapsed.

At the most dangerous time, the Mingjiao was only three feet away from him, and the blood splashed on his face.

"Master Xiang had a clever plan. First he lured the snake out of the hole, and then he killed the carbine. This time the Mingjiao rebellion was wiped out." Xue Xiang hurriedly supported him.

"Remember, it's not a rebellion, it's a riot!" Li Shanchang said sternly: "We must agree with them, this is just a small riot, and everything is under control!"

"Yes, yes." Xue Xiang nodded hurriedly, but seeing the scene of blood flowing into rivers and death and wounds in the square in front of the Meridian Gate, he felt his conscience was condemned.

"Master." At this time, Fengyang prefect Zhu Xiang came up out of breath and reported: "The riots in the city have been basically brought under control, but it is really impossible to catch all the rebels with only the three guards."

"It's not traitors, it's rioters!" Xue Xiang quickly corrected.

"What's the difference?" Zhu Xiang asked puzzled.

"Don't worry so much." Li Shanchang interrupted him: "Order Ding Bin and the others to control the city gate first, protect the important construction sites and Gongqing's residence, and arrest people after Huaiyuanwei and Changhuaiwei arrive... They should be here soon."

"Yes!" Zhu Xiang responded, and asked again: "When the time comes, will they all be arrested?"

"Yes, are they all arrested?" Xue Xiang also asked.

This was a migrant labor riot. I don't know how many craftsmen and peasants participated in it, and it was hard to tell who participated and who did not.

If they were all arrested, the Zhongdu project would definitely be shut down, and besides, he didn't have that many people to review them one by one.

"What do you think?" Li Shanchang threw the question back to Xue Xiang.

"If you say they all participated, there must be some injustice." Xue Xiang thought about it: "But there must be two or three... No, one or two percent of the people participated."

In order to kill as few people as possible, he added: "The point is, killing too many people will delay the progress of the project!"

"Well." Li Shanchang nodded with his beard, and then ordered: "Then kill ten percent first, let's scare it."

"Yes. This..." Zhu Xiang said with a bitter face, "Who will you kill and who will not?"

"I don't care, it doesn't matter if you draw lots or count casually, you can do it yourself." Li Shanchang said coldly: "Then tell the rest of the people that the progress of the project cannot be delayed, or they will die."

"This will inevitably allow the real traitors to escape." After all, Xue Xiang is a scholar and cannot accept this brutal method of random killing.

"That's right, we can't let the real traitors escape." Li Shanchang said with a smirk, "Then just kill them all when the Central Capital is finished..."

"This..." Xue Xiang's hair stood on end when he heard this, but he didn't expect that his kindness would actually harm those people.

"Hurry up and send someone to clean it up, and wipe off all the blood. There are still places that need to be repaired, and they must be intact!" Li Shanchang stopped talking nonsense with him, and gave orders directly.

Then he said to Zhu Xiang: "Prefect Zhu, this time Xue Shangshu's side has lost a lot, you must replenish him as soon as possible."

"Yes, but Fengyang Mansion has exhausted all the civil servants that can be recruited." Zhu Xiang was in trouble.

"Stupid!" Li Shanchang glanced at him depressedly, if he hadn't had to point at this guy in the future, he would have kicked him as far as he could.

"The Ming Cult caused such a big mess in the capital city, is your Fengyang Mansion indifferent? Shouldn't you order the counties to arrest their believers? If it's not enough, wouldn't tens of thousands of people watch the theater that day? It doesn't matter if they all count!"

See Li Shanchang is still the simple and crude way of doing things in the war years.Xue Xiang shook his head secretly, really wanted to say, my lord, times have changed.

It's a pity he didn't dare to say it.

In Jinqiaokan, the fields have begun to turn yellow, and the rice has entered the grain filling period.

"It doesn't matter if there is less water in the field, but you must keep the water level at about an inch when grouting!" Tang Jiachang stood in the field with a hoe in his hand, and passed on his experience to the Hong family brothers who were working beside him:
"If the grouting is done well, the rice grains will be full, and the yield will naturally be high. You can see whether the rice ears are big, whether the knots are firm, and whether the rate of shriveled grains is high.

Zhu Xi and Zhu Zheng worked together to carry a bucket to draw water from the river to the field, and they worked even harder after hearing this.

Their field is good, but the terrain is a bit high, and it is inconvenient to divert water for irrigation.

Just as he was working hard, he saw Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di driving the ox cart to the edge of the field.

"Fourth, stop messing around with sixth. If you have the time, why don't you help me carry a few buckets of water." When the third saw the fourth, he couldn't help it.

"Hey, let's see it this time." Zhu Di smiled triumphantly, and he and Lao Liu lifted a big guy off the bullock cart.
