I have a cornucopia

Chapter 71 Real men play with the red cannon

Amidst the obviously advanced evening drum beats, all the gates of the capital city were closed.

This is the order to close the door.

As long as you hear the beating of the evening drum and the doors are closed and locked, it will be fine.

It doesn’t matter who rings the bell.

There are soldiers guarding the drum tower. Since the drum was sounded in advance, there must be an order. Besides, the gunfire just now was not unheard at each door. There must have been major changes in the capital, so the evening drum was knocked in advance to close the door. Not only the city gates, but also all the buildings, even those that had not received the news, such as those in the west of the city, immediately closed their doors.

The entire capital quickly entered the grid.

Using streets as a network and square walls as grids, more than twenty small closed towns are formed in a city.

All that's left is to search.

There is no need to make any special plans, because this city is already under military management.

Young Zhuang blocked the streets.

There are people watching the fire everywhere.

People on the city wall.

Search teams from all the houses entered the house and searched door to door in the house. They were all from the house. As long as they were strangers, they would be captured first. Everyone on the Guanhuo Tower and the city wall would stare down from above. If they found anything, they would immediately notify the search team below. .

No special command is required.

After all, each workshop originally had its own command system.

Health system.

Lijia system.

All have a chain of command.

There are even plans for this situation.

Of course, the premise is that the soldiers and civilians in the city really take action.

""Yang Sheng, our family has only one request. You can do whatever you want, but don't disturb the Holy Master. "

Wang Chengen looked at Qing Zhuang, who was running towards him with anger, holding a torch and carrying a knife and gun, and said with a look on his face that he was about to cry without tears.

Of course, it was impossible not to disturb the Holy Driver.

In fact, Chongzhen was frightened. He didn't expect that the game would be so big. He was directly treating the capital as a battlefield. He liked killing Yang Feng, but is your method too unscrupulous? You directly use ordnance to assassinate people in the capital, using big turtle doves, blunderbuss, and grenades. What do you think of the emperor's face? Of course, what is even more frightening is the reaction of the military and civilians in the capital. The actions of millions of people were carried out without imperial edicts, orders from officials, and without any command from the government. They were all done by the people themselves. It sounds like they are loyal, but they spontaneously arrested them for the imperial court. The thieves who create chaos in the capital are, to put it bluntly, rebellion in itself.

This is a mutiny.

This is a civil uprising.

And what happens next if you are not careful is likely to be the Jingyuan Incident.

Even Chongzhen had issued an order to let Jin Yiwei and Nei Cao take over the gates of the imperial city to prevent the chaos outside the imperial city from spreading to the imperial city. The guards and nobles could no longer believe it.

The former are all waiting to share the food!

Since the latter dared to assassinate Yang Feng, it seemed not impossible to take advantage of the chaos to kill him.

"It's okay if Qin Ming says it has nothing to do with His Majesty. I know this matter has nothing to do with him, but if he insists on interfering, it does have something to do with him. You can also tell others for me that this time I won't find out the assassin and the mastermind behind it." Just give it up and wait calmly and calmly. If I cause any inconvenience to everyone during the search, I will bear with you. After all, this matter has already happened. Song Hu is still in a coma. It is hard to say whether he will survive. Our clan My uncle and Song Lian are also seriously injured and their lives are uncertain. I have sent people to notify their relatives, and my uncle and nephew are leading troops in Yangcun."

Yang Feng said.

Lao Wang felt melancholy...

So you are still preparing to send troops here, right?

You must know that Shandong general Yang Daxun and deputy general Yang Wei are in Yangcun with 10,000 Shandong soldiers, among whom Yang Wei is Yang Guanguang's so-called nephew.

Clan nephew.

His men are elite cavalry.

Because several other generals pursued Jianlu all the way to Zunhua, they are still in Zunhua, Jizhou and then Shanhaiguan, heading west to Baimaguan, so the one closest to the capital is Yang Daxun. They were originally dragged at the back on purpose. Ever since they left Shandong, they, the most powerful army in Shandong, started to mess up.

It's understandable, after all, they were trying to protect Sangzi before, so of course they would be destroyed after they left Shandong.

"Member Yang, the young men have searched everywhere in Mingshifang and Huanghuafang, even Jiaofang Sidongyuan. However, they did not find the culprits, but they arrested dozens of officials who were fooling around in Jiaofangsidongyuan. , and also found a group of gangsters who were harvesting and cutting raw materials, and they had been beaten to death with random sticks. But ordinary people dared to go in and search, but for those high-ranking officials and nobles, they were not allowed to enter, and they even mobilized all the people. The slaves were guarding with swords and guns. Especially Sui Anbo's house in Huanghuafang injured one of our brothers. Sui Anbo even shouted that he had iron bonds and was not afraid of killing anyone. Anyone who dared to break into his house would be killed. "

A soldier rode a horse, stopped in front of Yang Feng, dismounted and saluted.

"Sui Anbo?"

Yang Feng sneered.

Lao Wang looked at the stars that had appeared above his head with a casual attitude.

This is inevitable anyway.

Isn't this little villain doing this just to continue tormenting these nobles? Anyway, just don't attack the emperor. You can do whatever you want, my lord, but these idiots actually assassinate him. At least you should wait until he leaves the capital before taking action!

A bunch of brainless losers!

"Let's go, I want to see what Sui'an Bo's iron bond looks like.

Returning the iron coupon, doesn't he know that it is only valid three times? "

Yang Feng said.

Then he waved.

Qingzhuang, who took the initiative to protect him, immediately followed him towards Huanghuafang, which was just north of Mingshifang. The two squares were separated by a road. To the north of Huanghuafang was Chaoyangmen Street. No matter how fast those assassins move, they can't get out of these two squares. Together, these two squares are already larger than an ordinary city...

The area of the square in the capital of the Ming Dynasty was huge. Although there was a theoretical curfew at night, in the later period, people could not help but close the gate of the square and let people sing and dance inside.

However, it was still a step back compared to the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty also had a curfew, but it started at the third watch and ended at the fifth watch.

better than nothing.

Yang Feng led thousands of young men armed with swords and guns straight into the gate of Huanghuafang. As for the streets outside, all the young men were already evacuated, including those inside the square. Those who did not come out were those who deliberately resisted. Although there is a possibility of assassins sneaking out, it is actually impossible because the residents in the square all know each other. Even if there are some who don't know each other, others will know each other. Including tenants from out of town, there will also be familiar ones, especially Li Jia. They all know that if there are outsiders mixed in, they will be discovered soon. At that time, no matter how elite the soldiers were, they could not face such a dense crowd. There is only one way for young people to die. Even without swords and guns, they will be smashed into pieces with a big stick.

This is people's homes.

Having lived here for at least two hundred years, everyone in the neighborhood knows everything about him, so it is impossible to blend in.

Assassins wouldn't do this unless they were insane.

"Are you sure you haven't left these two houses?"

he asked as he walked.

"Small indeed..."

The young man looked at Yang Sheng and suddenly had an idea.

"It's really hard to say. After all, our brothers reacted quickly and notified everywhere. It will take some time to surround them. The assassins are all riding donkeys. It is possible to escape, but it is certain that they have not left the inner city. ." he said.

"Then search slowly. If you can't find it in one day, just search for two days. When you find it, you can stop it."

Yang Feng said with satisfaction.

There is no need to bother with the outer city. They are just poor people. In fact, most of the outer city is wilderness at this time. The wall in the outer city had to be built after the armed patrol of Anda Khan during the Jiajing period. In fact, it can't be filled at all. The area near the inner city in the north is densely populated, but at least two-thirds of the city in the south is all wilderness and even farmland. Even until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the nickname of Zuo'anmen in the outer city was still "Village". Door.

Soon they arrived at Sui'an Bo Mansion.

At this time, Sui'an Bo's name was Chen Changheng, and his ancestor was Yongle general Chen Zhi.

At this time, a barricade had been built in front of Sui'anbo's house. Sui'anbo personally directed the slaves to block the entrance of the alley with grain bags, and even randomly blocked vehicles inside. Behind these, there were a large number of people holding bags of food. The house slaves with bows and arrows, and even a few franc machines are pointing here. On the houses in the mansion, there are also domestic slaves holding bows and arrows, and some also have muskets. On the roof of the tallest building in the mansion, there is even a string of lanterns for lighting. You can see a person holding a big flag, which should be used for command in the center... …

"Is he hiding a firearm?"

Yang Feng said.

"Well, Sui Anbo said that he heard that there were thieves making trouble in Chongwenmen. In order to prevent the thieves from robbing the war bureau, he didn't have time to request an order, so he took his slaves to the war bureau to transfer the firearms. We just happened to be looting, so he had to temporarily Used it.

This is actually not a rare thing among the people. People in Tianjin use it to hunt wild ducks. "

A middle-aged soldier who led the team here said with a smile.

Then he looked across the way...

"Chen Fu, you, Tamar, are hiding firearms secretly. Your gunpowder was sent to the house by Xu Qing."

he shouted.

"Chen San, don't try to smear someone's innocence out of thin air. Our master was afraid that thieves would rob the war, so he took us to transfer firearms. You unscrupulous people robbed so many nobles during the day, even though His Majesty has issued an order to you. We are releasing grain, but you are still evil-minded and want to take advantage of the thieves' chaos to continue to plunder our house. Our master has already reported to your majesty. Before the imperial edict comes, whoever dares to break in will not blame our cannons for not recognizing people."

A steward-like voice shouted from the opposite side.

Yang Feng dragged a chair and sat down directly at the entrance of the alley.

"Come on, let me see if your cannon really doesn't recognize people. Today Yang's words are here. If you can kill me with one cannon, it's your ability. If you fire the cannon and don't kill me, then Amber. The bloodline will be cut off."

He crossed his legs and said.

That housekeeper...

He could indeed try.

After all, there is a Buddha statue next to him, even though it is only a small Buddha statue weighing 70 pounds.

But it’s also a cannon!

Try?

But what if I can’t be beaten to death?

This monster is rumored to be invulnerable. If not for shotguns, the large turtledove guns used by those assassins are actually more powerful than the small folang machine. The small folang machine weighs less than three large turtledove guns, but its accuracy and power of shotguns are not as good. In fact, the Ming army usually loaded the turtle dove gun with a few bullets.

In short, you may kill him, but you may not be able to kill him.

But if he can't be beaten to death, then Sui Anbo's bloodline will really be cut off. Without the help of this monster, these angry and unruly people alone can kill Sui Anbo's whole family, leaving nothing behind. , after all, these unscrupulous people know who Sui'anbo's family is...

"Yang Shengyu, what do you want to do? Please note that there are still kings in this capital!"

Behind him, a middle-aged man wearing court clothes and a seven-beam crown walked out.

"Uncle Sui An, Yang didn't want to play with you anymore. Your Majesty has already started to distribute food. I have fulfilled my promise to the soldiers and civilians in the capital. I was supposed to return to Shandong in three or two days, but I didn't expect that someone didn't want me. Let’s go! Since they are kindly asking me to stay, of course I won’t leave. I will accompany you to play to the end. You can play whatever you want. If you feel that the current game is not fun enough, my uncle still has an army of 10,000 in Yangcun. , I can ask him to come with me, and I will definitely play with you to the fullest.

Today you can either open the door honestly and let me lead people in to search, or you can wait until tomorrow to call the 10,000 troops over.

A few little ones are trying to scare people?

How old are you to still play with toys like this?

Adults all play Hongyi Cannon. "

Yang Feng sat there and sneered.

Sui Anbo...

"Yang Sheng, there's no need to wait for your relatives. Isn't it the Hongyi cannon? We also have it here. Sui'anbo, you are too careless in transferring firearms. Why didn't you see that there are four cannons in the military battle department that just came from Shanxi?" The Hongyi cannon that was shipped?"

A proud shout sounded from behind.

Yang Feng turned his head and looked behind him. A group of young men were pushing four cannons over, but they were not heavy cannons. At this time, Hongyi cannons had long been a collective name, and various large and small artillery models based on them could be called. Moreover, a large number of them were cast in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jinnan area of Shanxi Province, which even used incense coal, that is, low-sulfur coal, to make large quantities of iron-made Hongyi cannons. In fact, it can no longer be counted as iron. Many iron-made Hongyi cannons discovered in modern times are already low-carbon steel according to metallographic analysis. The technical level in the north is still lower than that in Guangdong, but Guangdong relies on the high-quality iron ore and charcoal smelting in northern Guangdong. .

As for these four guns, they should be roughly at the level of six-pounders. They were just transported to the capital from Shanxi and prepared to be used to supplement the Great Wall Line.

"Will it work?"

Yang Fenglao looked at the old soldier who took the lead with interest.

"Mr. Yang, don't worry. I've made several generations of cannons at the Ministry of Industry, and they are used in many daily performances."

The old soldier said.

Then he called out to the young men, and all four cannons were fired at the entrance of the alley, with their muzzles pointing to the opposite side. As for Sui Anbo, he was so frightened that he ran into the gate, while the housekeeper looked at him tremblingly, and the servants beside him did the same. Watching with trembling eyes, the old soldier looked at them proudly and then started to take aim. As for the ammunition, it had already been loaded.

After taking aim, he inserted a fuse into the ignition hole.

Yang Feng took the torch from the side.

"Uncle Sui An, I'll count to three. If you don't agree with us going in to search for the thief, don't blame Yang for being rude.

Are you ready? "

he shouted.

next moment……

"three!"

he shouted.

Then he put the fuse on without hesitation.

"I agree!"

Sui Amber screamed in horror.

Yang Feng pulled out the fuse as quickly as possible and threw it away.
