Chapter 70 The capital was detonated

A few minutes later.

The soldiers who gathered with various weapons looked angrily at the assassin's dead body on the ground.

Of course they understand what's going on.

Yang Feng had just made a big fuss in the capital and finally gave them a chance to survive. They could continue to live in this famine-stricken city without turning into skinny corpses like those who starved to death. Someone was assassinating them before dark. Yang Feng is...

What if you wait a little longer?

This is too impatient.

If Yang Feng was assassinated, the grain feeding over there would stop immediately without waiting for dark.

The emperor is useless.

If those honorable nobles no longer pay for food, would the emperor dare to lead them to kill and rob them like Yang Feng did? The emperor is not of the same mind as the military households. If Yang Feng hadn't forced him this time, the emperor would not have given food. He and the nobles were on the same side. Otherwise, how could he have watched the military households in the city starve to death? Until now Just remember to be a good person. Also at that time, without a leader like Yang Feng, would the military households in the capital really dare to attack those noble families again? Obviously this is impossible. This kind of thing requires a leader, and a leader who is strong enough and can be trusted. But there must be no such leader among the military households, otherwise they would not have endured until now. Everyone's courage was actually given by Yang Feng. It was Yang Feng's fierce fighting power that was beyond ordinary, which gave the military households in the capital the courage to resist.

Without him, the end result would still be everyone suffering from hunger.

It's up to fate how long you can survive.

After all, the vast majority of this city is actually composed of docile citizens.

There are so many unruly people.

It is in poor mountains and rivers that unruly people come out.

How can there be unruly people in the most kind place in the capital?

Even those behind the scenes were so impatient to take action before dark because they also knew this. After all, everyone has known each other for hundreds of years, and they all knew that as long as Yang Feng died, they would be in this place again. The city has the final say.

They will immediately stop feeding.

After all, if they stop for even an hour early, they will lose a lot less.

"Come on, don't let these bitches escape. I don't believe that the hundreds of thousands of native-born military households in the capital can let them escape. Yang Sheng, please wait here. The 72 guard military households in the capital have overthrown the capital. At dawn, I will catch these bitches for you before. You will see people alive and corpses! Erhu, take people to beat the evening drums. Xu Laosan goes to Chongwenmen and closes Chongwenmen first. The others go to each door separately. Close the door, and take the horn to notify the gates of all the houses along the way. Young people inside and outside the houses are raiding the guys. Any official who dares to stop will be cut down first. Using ordnance to kill people in this capital is rebellion and rebellion. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be killed. Anti-thief comrades, we are here to catch thieves, these bitches have probably forgotten that our capital city was built just for fighting."

A middle-aged soldier who looked very authoritative said angrily while holding a knife.

The young people around him left immediately.

This place is actually next to Chongwenmen Street, and they are all going to Damingmen to wait in line.

Because it takes time to distribute food, each guard goes to queue up to receive it. In fact, because the distribution efficiency is relatively slow, only eight guard households have been allocated to the military households so far. The rest of the waiting people either queue up at Daming Gate or return home. Wait for notifications at various places.

As for this house being an abandoned house, the original owner's entire family died of the plague. There are many abandoned houses like this in the capital, so the assassins were ambushing inside. They came running when they heard the gunfire, but they were just a little late. Those assassins The retreat was to retreat into the workshop, but at this time everyone in the workshop was queuing up, so there were not many people inside.

But no matter what, even if the assassin could easily escape over the square wall, he would still have to be blocked by the inner city wall.

The first step is to close Chongwen Gate.

Even if they had the ability to climb over the city wall, they wouldn't be able to do so with at least hundreds of thousands of people watching.

The remaining Zhengyang Gate has not been opened. Assassins who want to go out will have no choice but to go to Chaoyang Gate. But they will definitely not be able to get in front of these young men. When the dusk drum knocks, all the gates will be closed. As long as they are blocked in the inner city, the remaining Even if you dig three feet into the ground, you can still find it. This is an act of public anger. The siege and suppression by millions of people in the entire capital is useless. No matter how elite they are, they cannot withstand the whole city and shout and beat unless someone in the capital provides them with a hiding place.

but……

That seems better!

Officer Yang Sheng can lead everyone to continue the search.

"Those who know me say that I am worried; those who don't know me say that what do I want?"

Yang Feng stood there and sighed quietly.

He seems to be a loyal minister who is not understood by the world, but actually cares about the country and the people.

Behind him were the injured Yang Guanguang and the Song brothers. None of the three of them died.

Temporarily, of course.

Although the wooden planks on the bottom of the carriage were thick and strong, which saved them as much as possible, the three of them were seriously injured, especially Song Hu, who was shot through the stomach by a bullet. Under the current conditions, this kind of injury can basically be left to fate. The advantage is that it is penetrated instead of left in, so there is no need for surgery. If it is operated, it will be fatal. As for Yang Guanguang's arm, which was broken, and more than a dozen pieces of wood splinters were stuck in his body, only Song Lian was the least injured. His leg was torn open by a bullet, but fortunately no major blood vessels were damaged.

In short, even if Yang Feng fed him cephalosporins, it was still hard to say whether the three of them would survive.

"Feng Sheng, if this happens, the capital will be in chaos."

Song Lian looked at the military households leaving one after another and said with worry.

"If they are in chaos, let them be in chaos.

If the mess becomes unmanageable, naturally someone will come to us to beg us.

The assassin was found in the city, and there was no way to look for him outside at this time.

There are only servants of the Wu family in the city today. Wu Xiang is still in prison. The eldest son of the Wu family has followed Zu Dashou to join the Jianlu army. The second son is in Ningyuan with his elite Wu family. The third son is in the capital and is trying to seduce his father. . There were more than a hundred servants following him. Someone must have fished out his father as bait to induce him to send his servants. Don't touch the Wu family for now, pretend not to know it's them, and let these military households have fun.

When those nobles couldn't stand it anymore, someone would naturally betray the Wu family.

Whoever sold the Wu family was the one who ordered it. "

Yang Guanguang said weakly.

This guy is also very cunning.

This is indeed the most insidious way to deal with it. There is no need to bother to find out who did it. Just let the military households continue to make trouble in the city. With Yang Feng here to take charge, they will also make trouble as much as they want. After all, the military households were full of resentment towards their nobles and even the imperial court. They could not be bribed with just a little grain supply, and many of them would have starved to death long ago.

No one was grateful to them for releasing grain at this time.

What's more, he was forced by Yang Feng to release grain.

"These servants are quite capable of fighting."

Yang Feng said.

The fighting prowess of these servants of the Wu family really impressed him.

At least among the Ming army he has seen so far, this is already the top in combat effectiveness. Even against the Qing army, even against the Ba Ya Lahu of Eight Banners in Manchuria, the Wu family's servants are at the same level and may even be a little stronger. If they really fight hard, , the same number of Baya Lahu may not necessarily beat them.

The Wu family has three thousand such servants.

Of course, there are tens of thousands of Eight Banners in Manchuria, so the Wu family will not use them to their death.

But what he was more confused about was his physical condition. Even if his armor protection was sufficient, he should have suffered serious internal injuries at this time.

That's one or two bullets.

What's more, he was hit in the back.

The pecking hammer is similar to a European war hammer. One end is a pointed armor-piercing cone and the other is a round hammer head. This kind of hammer is very ancient in the East. It existed in the Bronze Age. It was widely used in the Song Dynasty. Although it was not used much in the Ming Dynasty, it was used by the elite. There are a lot of favorites too. After all, weapons depend on the needs of the battlefield. As the battlefield becomes heavily armored, there will naturally be corresponding armor-breaking weapons. However, in the Ming Dynasty, cloth-faced armor was the main weapon, so whips and maces are enough. However, the Qing army began to use heavy armor again, and the Ming army naturally increased the proportion of armor-piercing weapons accordingly.

A heavy blow from such a hammer would not be uninjured even if it was blocked by a steel plate.

His was a piece of steel riveted on.

It's not like the overall plate armor can distribute the force.

"The food is better than that of Wu Xiang. They want women to procure women for them, and they can take any money they want. The Wu family supports them at home. They say they are the servants of the Wu family, but in fact Wu Xiang is more like serving them, not to mention everyone. The servants are all life and death brothers.

He can fight better than Jianlu.

But I only listened to the Wu family.

Even if His Majesty puts Wu Xiang in prison, they will still be led by Wu Xiang's son.

Others would have died violently within three days. Yang Guanguang said.

At this time, Jin Yiwei arrived late...

"Go and tell the prince, he has to give me an explanation for this matter."

Yang Feng took off his outer shirt and threw it to the Jin Yiwei who was leading the team.

Of course, he just told Wang Chengen that no matter what he did next, it was best not to let Chongzhen interfere, otherwise everyone would be embarrassed.

As for the three bullet holes on his back, a hole made by a pecking hammer, and three arrows on his arm, it seemed that there was indeed sufficient evidence. However, the Jin Yiwei held his shirt melancholy and took a look at the rivets he was wearing now. , it was obvious that the cotton robe he wore was not meant to keep out the cold. It was riveted with iron armor, so this guy kept wearing heavy armor underneath, and then swaggered around the capital. He even wore heavy armor privately and entered the palace to meet the emperor?

This is enough for Tamar to kill all nine tribes.

Of course, Jin Yiwei is sensible, so don't ask questions if you know you shouldn't.

Besides, Yang Feng had already committed a lot of crimes against the nine clans.

At this moment, horns sounded one after another in the city.

Chongwenmen.

"Quickly, close the city gate!"

Xu Laosan galloped over on horseback.

The horns in the hands of the two military households following him sounded.

"How dare you, a treacherous fellow like you, blow the trumpet in the capital?"

The eunuch guarding the gate said angrily.

Each gate in the capital is guarded by eunuchs.

Of course, it is the gatekeeper eunuch who directs the guards in charge of each gate, and the security within the city is handled by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division during the day, and the capture and robbery camp at night. The title is official, but the jurisdiction is not only the capital, but also the inspection departments in the surrounding areas.

"Xu Laosan, what happened in the city?"

shouted a soldier behind the eunuch.

"Someone assassinated Yang Sheng. He received several bullets. Fortunately, he was blocked by his armor. However, Yang Hanlin, the concubine of the left, was seriously injured. In addition, there were two friends of Yang Sheng."

Xu Laosan shouted.

"Quick, close the door!"

The soldier turned around and shouted without hesitation.

"You guys..."

The eunuch guarding the gate said angrily.

But before he could finish his words, a knife was held to his neck behind him.

He turned back in surprise.

"My lord, using ordnance to assassinate imperial officials in the capital is treason and rebellion. If you don't close our doors, are you colluding with the thieves?"

shouted a soldier behind him.

A Baihu next to him pressed the handle of his sword, wanting to show his authority, but then he saw the spears in the hands of two soldiers on the left and right pointing at him, and he quickly waved his hand upwards...

"Close the city gate and keep the thieves away!"

he shouted.

"Yes, yes, close the city gate and keep the thieves away!"

The prince also came to his senses and quickly switched to waving and shouting.

The soldiers immediately closed the city gate. At the same time, Xu Laosan was looking left and right on horseback. At the south gate of Mingshi Square on their left, a dozen businessmen dressed up and leading donkeys had just walked out and were heading towards them. Walk this way. But it doesn't seem to be anything unusual. After all, it's getting close to dark. If there is business in Mingshifang, businessmen should come out and go back to their homes. Otherwise, they won't be able to get out as soon as the dusk drum knocks and the shops are closed. They don't care at all. What's going on here, lead the donkey and continue walking this way.

The hundred households immediately waved to them.

"closed!"

he shouted.

"General, the young men are returning to Fucai Fang and are not leaving the city. Why are they closing the door now? Isn't it that the drums have not been beaten yet?"

The leader said in Mandarin.

"There are people in front of Daming Gate, you guys, let's go!"

Baihu said casually.

Those people arrived at the door like this...

"Eunuch Wang, are you always here? I would like to pay my respects to Eunuch Wang."

The leader looked at the prince in surprise, then bowed and saluted.

"you are?"

The prince said blankly.

The next moment, a small ax flew out from behind the man, and before he could react, it hit him directly in the head. Then four grenades with sparks fell in front of the city gate, and then exploded one after another.

"quick!"

In the smoke of gunpowder, the leader pulled out an ax from the prince's head and slashed Baihu's face with his hand. The others pulled out various weapons and swarmed into the chaotic gatekeepers. The latter were just standard guard soldiers. They were all frightened by the explosion. They all forgot that they had weapons and just thought about escaping. Those people chopped down several gates and began to open the closed gates.

However, none of them noticed that Xu Laosan rode directly onto the horse track.

Because the city gate was locked, those people found the key on the prince's body, and then went back to open the door again.

But just as they unlocked the door...

"Back off!"

The leader yelled.

The two people who opened the door reacted very quickly and backed away quickly, but in the end they were still a step too late. Accompanied by a terrifying whistling sound above their heads, the several-ton gate, with the friction sound of sliding down, directly crushed them into flying objects like a mountain. flesh.

"withdraw!"

The leader roared with grief and anger.

In the city above them, Xu Laosan stuck his head out and smiled proudly.

Although the dozen assassins were filled with hatred, they did not bother to kill him again. They immediately ran to the side wall and climbed in as fast as possible. At this time, a large number of young men had already rushed towards this side. The queue outside Zhengyang Gate can be said to be a sea of ​​people, swarming like an angry swarm of bees.

"Quick, go and close the Chaoyang Gate first!"

Xu Laosan shouted from the city wall.

At this moment, the dusk drum in the north of the city was beating...
