I have a cornucopia

Chapter 80 A beauty of death and destruction

The military households outside instantly exploded.

"Go in quickly and ask His Majesty!"

"Fake imperial edict!"

……

Amidst the furious roar, the torrent that had blocked all the streets, even houses, roofs and walls outside Dong'an Gate surged forward, crashing like a furious wave into the tall city wall in front that separated the emperor and the people...

"It's true, the imperial edict is true. Your Majesty hasn't returned to Qianqing Palace yet. This is your Majesty's oral order. The imperial edict will be sent shortly."

Wang Dehua shouted in panic.

Of course, his shouting was of no use.

He looked at Zhang Guowei and Xu Shiqi with pleading eyes.

But the two of them watched with cold eyes.

I don’t know if the imperial edict was fake, but it was true that the 1.8 million stone was gone. Under the pretext of protecting the emperor, the nobles suddenly dragged the emperor down, which in fact controlled the emperor. After getting off the city wall, it was not easy to ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict. If it couldn't be done, it would be okay to do it for him. Even judging from Xu Yunzhen's reaction, it was them who did it if the order was not transferred.

Others don't have this need at all.

Yang Feng's troubles have indeed reached the level of rebellion.

but……

Behind him are the Shandong gentry!

Including the Northern Zhili gentry also benefited from it.

Because the whole incident was caused by the gentry from Shandong and Beizhili playing in a group to practice self-protection. He shocked the emperor, and the two families no longer had any worries. He was working as a thug for these two families, so officials from Shandong and Beizhili would only Watching the excitement may even add fuel to the flames.

The southern officials were opposed to it, but he was trying to harm the nobles by meddling in their affairs, and the little property they had in the capital was not worth mentioning.

In fact, officials are gloating about the misfortune.

This kind of harm to nobles and nobles is actually something that everyone in the north and south likes to see, because the current Ming Dynasty has to kill a few pigs to survive, and the only ones that are valuable are those few. The gentry, including the land gentry and the industrial and commercial gentry, must not be able to do this, because that would be equivalent to killing themselves. The clan, which has nothing to kill now, has been cut off by Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. The rest are the nobles. There are dozens of noble families in the north and the south. Relying on the special status of being divorced from the country, and the wealth accumulated over the past three hundred years, they can definitely survive.

It is true that Chongzhen did not know the wealth of Xungui, but these sober-minded ministers in the court knew that if Chongzhen took this opportunity to confiscate the house of Duke Cheng Guo, he would have no pressure to pay millions of taels.

The nobles also know this.

Yang Feng's grab is not important.

Really.

The nobles don't really take the tens of thousands of taels of silver into consideration.

What the unscrupulous people are grabbing is just the skin.

Their real gold and silver treasury will not be found in places that can be discovered casually. What can be discovered are only those that are used daily. The real gold and silver are hidden in secret places. Originally, Xue Lian in history Liu Zongmin was tortured to the point of dying before he finally revealed where his family's money was hidden.

What the nobles are really afraid of is Chongzhen, who knows their huge wealth.

Chongzhen must be frightened.

Xue Lian and others knew about the plot to assassinate Yang Feng. Could it be that the others were just sitting there waiting to be killed?

Are they just going to tolerate it?

As for the dangers of recruiting border troops to Beijing...

You can't expect a group of angry dandies to really have that kind of mind!

"Wang Du Gong, since your Majesty has not gone far, and it is known that the people entering the city are government troops and there is no danger, then please return. As long as your Majesty stands here and repeats the previous edict to the people, there will naturally be no danger. People are making trouble again.”

Xu Shiqi said.

Lao Wang gave him a hateful look.

At this time, on the Andingmen Nei Street in the distance, the cavalry entering the city could already be seen. He calmed down for a while, then showed off his majesty as a governor, took the blunderbuss from the hand of the Nei Cao next to him, and then pointed it at the sky Shooting, the sudden sound of gunfire caused the military households below who had reached the city gate to raise their heads and look at him...

"Why, no one listens to our words? It's not like Long Live Lord won't give you food. You are all military households. Don't you even understand military law? Tens of thousands of officers and soldiers are at Andingmen. You must make a fuss about Long Live Lord Dragon. Yan Zhen is angry? Let's just accept it. From yesterday to now, I don't even think about how many crimes you have committed to confiscate your homes. Long live the Lord's mercy. Not only did you forgive him, but he also gave you money and food to you. You are still not satisfied. Are you still making a fuss? Are you going to make a big fuss? Everyone dispersed quickly. The distribution of food will continue today. Everyone hurried back to the workshop to wait. The doors of each workshop in the capital were sealed. Unless it is the turn to receive food, anyone who dares to leave the workshop will be deemed to have violated the ban. Take it.”

he shouted.

However, he still looked at Yang Feng, and it was obvious that he also felt guilty.

He knows about Yuntaimen.

At the same time, the gangsters following him quickly raised their blunderbuss.

The military households looked at each other.

"Now you can choose for yourself, whether you want to be obedient and go back to starve to death, or whether you want to fight for a way to survive. This is your own destiny, and you have to choose it yourself."

Yang Feng stood there and said calmly.

"Come on, Li Zicheng knew that he would not starve to death even if he risked his life to rebel. Are we so mean?

If our ancestors hadn't rebelled, they wouldn't be as powerful as the Zhu family! "

A military household shouted.

"Go up, ask your Majesty for a clear explanation!"

"Kill this gelding!"

……

The fire was detonated instantly.

There was a moment of confusion, and then ladders were brought up one after another.

Outside Dong'an Gate are mainly craftsmen, and it's easy to find ladders nearby.

"Rebellion, absolutely rebellion, let go, let go, shoot these traitors to death!"

Wang Dehua screamed.

He could already see the cavalry.

The latter rushed forward inside Andingmen and had already begun to disperse the surrounding military households. However, the latter also behaved very cunningly. Although they did not dare to fight the cavalry, they began to throw vehicles on the streets, and some even came from the donkey market. Hundreds of donkeys were driven out of the alleys, clogging the streets. The cavalry was quickly blocked, but this could not stop the officers and soldiers. After all, they could enter the imperial city directly. At this time, the Bei'an Gate had been opened, and some officers and soldiers entered the imperial city and climbed onto the city wall and ran towards it.

"Fight, what do you need?"

Wang Dehua shouted at those nai cao who were still hesitating.

After all, he is also the admiral of Dongchang, and he still has a certain degree of control over these internal affairs.

The latter immediately opened fire.

But their numbers were so small that a few scattered shots were meaningless.

It's like throwing a pebble into the waves of the Yellow River.

You can't even see a wave, you can't even see who was hit.

Soon the ladders were carried to the bottom of the imperial city and then set up on the walls of the imperial city.

Zhang Guowei, Xu Shiqi, Wang Chengen and the princess pulled by Wang Chengen went directly to the tower. Anyway, it is like this now. It will not end without seeing blood. Let's hide on the tower and watch. Wang Dehua cleverly ran towards the reinforcements of the officers and soldiers. Before leaving, he scolded the bewildered Jinyi guards for blocking the unruly people. Luo Yangxing has already escorted the emperor, and the Jin Yiwei here obviously don't want to get involved. The Jin Yiwei are also military households, and their families are also waiting for the rice to be cooked. What's more, military households all intermarry with each other, and there were a lot of relatives in the military households outside. They didn't want to stop them, but Wang Dehua didn't count on them either.

Then those military households began to climb up to the imperial city.

In an instant, the birds and beasts dispersed.

A few who ran too slowly were thrown off the city wall by the angry military households.

"Quick, stop these rebels!" Wang Dehua shouted as he ran.

A general who came with troops from the opposite side immediately drew his sword and pointed forward.

The soldiers following him stopped, quickly lined up on the city wall, and then opened fire with the blunderbuss in their hands, and kept taking the ones behind him to shoot. Although the distance was far, it was actually difficult to hit the military households who climbed up the city wall, but it meant the suppression. start. The military households didn't care. Because of the difference in numbers, the effectiveness of these soldiers' cannons was no better than that of the internal soldiers. Besides, not many people cared about life or death at this time. After all, starving to death was also death. They rushed into the city as quickly as possible to open the door. city ​​gate. The firing of the soldiers on the city wall also informed those who were moving forward along the street that the gunshots there also rang out, but since the battle had begun, the military households were not sitting still and waiting to be killed.

Then the gunfire sounded.

There is no shortage of firearms in the hands of military households, because the largest arsenal is the Ordnance Bureau.

That one is in the southeast corner, and it has been looted by military households at this time.

"The streets of heaven trampled all the bones of the princes, and the inner treasury was burnt into ashes.

This is actually a kind of beauty.

A beauty of death and destruction.

I have always been good at discovering beauty. "

Yang Feng stood there and watched with emotion as the unscrupulous people on the Dong'an Gate platform were quickly swamped like ants drowning sugar cubes.

There’s still an endless stream to come!

Although the soldiers were still firing, they were actually more of an accompaniment.

This is the city wall.

Just those hundred and ten bird cannons, and the tragic hit rate of this thing, it can be said that even one round of shooting may not be able to hit a military household, and there are more than thousands of them, and the entire Dong'anmen city platform is almost covered. Unless they rush forward and kill with cold weapons, it is still difficult to expect these soldiers, who are ready to collapse in the face of Jianlu, to charge at arms that are obviously a hundred times their own. Besides, the military households below were not just beaten. Those standing on the roofs outside were also attacking the soldiers with various weapons, and some even threw stones, while those advancing on the streets had been blocked.

It's just blocking the streets. There are countless ways to deal with these native military households.

Throw in a bunch of vehicles first.

Handcart, ox cart, horse cart, donkey cart.

Throw in a pile of random wood and bamboo, and drive out some livestock to fill in the gaps.

The cavalry being blocked on the street is just a dead snake, especially with this kind of city layout. The city is essentially a bunch of closed small towns. All the alleys are blocked by the walls, and the military households inside are lying on the walls. , climb up the roof, climb up the tree, even one person and two bricks can make the elite cavalry hate the long street.

After the initial chaos, the military households quickly entered into a state of control. Accompanied by the shouts of killing that resounded throughout the eastern half of the capital, the cavalry were beaten back and forth.

"Yang Sheng, our ancestors are all loyal to the country."

Zhang Zhiji, who was still lying next to him, said sadly.

"Yes, so I have given you more than two hundred years of wealth and glory. Why, you still want another two hundred years of wealth and glory? The honor of a gentleman can only last five generations. Your Zhang family has more than five generations? The Ming Dynasty's honor system is originally There is a problem, look at those in the Song Dynasty, you can’t even catch the second generation. It’s okay if you can be useful to the country, but are you useful to the country? You are of no use. Not only are you useless, but you have also destroyed it. Jingying, if the Jingying camp led by your ancestors was still there, would the Ming Dynasty be in the situation it is today? You will have to suffer the consequences of the sins you have done. You are asking for it if you trample the bones of the ministers in the street.

Mar's, has been prosperous and wealthy for more than two hundred years.

No matter how great your ancestors' achievements are, they are still not satisfied. That is to say, I am a kind-hearted person. If it were Li Zicheng, you would all be killed and all your wives and daughters would be used as camp prostitutes.

I'm holding a stick! "

Yang Feng shouted.

The child quickly called to the people behind him to bring the stick over.

"This thing needs to be improved. It's too cheap for them to crush it all at once. It needs to be made into a screw. Press it down little by little. Who knows how to make a screw?"

Yang Feng shouted to the craftsmen behind him who did not participate in the attack because they were older.

Of course, no one bothered to answer his scientific research question.

At this time, the city gate has been opened, and the military households outside are pouring in.

But then intensive gunshots sounded inside.

"Yang Sheng, the army has occupied Donghua Gate."

A military household on the city wall shouted.

"Yang Sheng, please ask the brothers to stop first. Our family and the princess will go into the palace to see Lord Long Live and ask Lord Long Live to come out and calm the people."

Wang Chengen leaned out from the tower and shouted.

"Go ahead, we'll talk about it later when you can, but the princess will stay here first."

Yang Feng said.

Then he looked at the city wall...

"Stop first and give me some face."

he shouted.

"Stop first, the prince has to go see your majesty!"

The military household immediately turned around and shouted.

Lao Wang quickly got off the tower...

"Eunuch Wang, let's wait for your incense stick. If you don't come with His Majesty by then, then Yang will do it himself. This time they stopped because of my face, so I have to be responsible for them."

Yang Feng shouted.

It’s reasonable and well-founded!

Lao Wang glanced at him silently and quickly got off the city wall.

"That one over there, you are one of Tang Tong's subordinates. I remember I saw you last time in Shandong. I asked your people to stop immediately. No one is allowed to do anything for a stick of incense. If you dare to do something, don't blame me. You're welcome, but be careful I make your face look like Abatai."

Yang Feng shouted to the general.

The latter looked at him deeply, and then motioned to the soldiers behind to wave the flag.

"You think it's because you're not hot enough!"

Zhang Zhiji said.

"It seems you know who called them here, but I don't need to know. Anyway, no one can escape this time."

Yang Feng sneered.

He just doesn't think it's popular enough.

After all, things happened in a hurry, and other military households in the capital had not yet taken action, but they should have started by now, especially the military households in the western half of the capital, as most of them had not yet arrived. As for Lao Wang, he couldn't see Chongzhen at all. Xu Yunzhen and the others dragged Chongzhen away just to shut him up. Of course, they couldn't let Lao Wang, who had a problematic stance, see him. It was even hard to say whether Lao Wang could come back alive, so Yang Feng refused to let the princess follow. As for the danger of Lao Wang, since he is loyal, he should be loyal until death!

This also fulfills him.

At this moment, gunshots from the direction of Deshengmen also rang out.

"Ah, we're here again, one of Zhang Ruxing's subordinates, right?"

Yang Feng said.

The two general soldiers, even if there are fewer cavalry, will have to be the first batch of at least 5,000 to enter the city.

Then it depends on Chongzhen.
