I'm really not the carpenter emperor

"No emperor in the past has dared to touch the guard. Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Go to hell...!" After saying this, Shao Shiyan snorted and shouted:

"Raise the gun!"

Li Zheng and others were shocked when they heard the words, but at this time the street was already occupied by rebels, surrounding them and his servants.

"Bang bang bang-"

With a burst of explosions, Li Zheng and more than [-] people all died under the volley of bird guns.

Li Zheng was hit by lead bullets several times, and was stabbed by the rebels again. He was bleeding all over his body. He forcibly broke away from the rebels and took a few steps forward. He sprayed the blood on Shao Shiyan's old face with bared teeth, and immediately spattered the latter's face. It became more ferocious and terrifying.

He spat unhappily, and shouted: "Come here, clean my face quickly! I still have to go out to see the commander of the capital, and use force to persuade me!"

……

The slow speed of the guards' assembly was far beyond Li Hong's expectations.

Especially when they heard that this time they were going to fight against the Yongwei Battalion of the Emperor's Forbidden Army, it frightened a lot of people.

What is the Guards Battalion?

They were selected from the nine frontiers, and more than 2000 people were added in one expansion.

In the south of Xi'an, small stones and gravel on the ground are constantly beating.

The sound of horseshoes came from far to near, and in front of the people hiding in the houses, a group of cavalry came rumblingly. The leader was a general, dressed in black armor, holding a shiny sword in his hand.

"The emperor's forbidden army in the Yongwei camp has entered the city to quell the chaos, and the people don't need to panic!"

Everyone in the Yongwei Battalion knows equestrian skills, but they only select the most skilled cavalry to form a cavalry team. They are infantry when they dismount, and cavalry when they are mounted.

More than [-] cavalrymen from the Yongwei Battalion swarmed from all the gates of Xi'an City, rumbling into the city as if they were stepping on drums.

When the guards at the top of the city saw it from a distance, they were all terrified.

Even, many people forgot to fire the cannons, and when they remembered, the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion had already entered the city, entered the streets, and intercepted and killed the rebels everywhere.

"boom--!"

It wasn't the sound of firing cannons, but it was Chief Qian, one of Li Hong's subordinates, who threatened the guards with a knife to fire the cannons, which finally caused the sound of the chambers exploding.

The soldiers of the guards usually do nothing for the generals in the fields. Although they are dressed in official uniforms, they are full-fledged farmers.

They have never experienced any battles at all, and they rarely even practice drills, let alone the technical work of firing cannons.

The guards had no choice but to fill the Franco cannon with projectiles in a hurry, and then ignited and fired without thinking...

This Fran cannon has been thrown here since the Wanli period, and it has not been fired for many years, not to mention that these guards have never been trained to fire cannons.

They didn't make any preparations before firing the cannon, and they didn't know how long those projectiles had been thrown here, so they dared to stuff them directly into the barrel of the cannon. In the end, even the steps of firing the cannon were wrong, which naturally directly caused the chamber to explode.

The fragments caused by the explosion of the chamber flew around, smashing the surrounding guards to pieces, and the flesh and blood scattered all over the ground, without even a scream.

This bombing wiped out the last recalcitrant heart of Mr. Qian of the guard.

He glanced at the cavalry that kept pouring in from the city, at the iron armor they were wearing all over their bodies, the shiny tiger guns on their backs, and the short pistols they had never seen before in their hands.

Mr. Qian hesitated for a while, threw the knife, turned around and ran away.

Mr. Qian ran away, and the guards at the top of the city became even more dispirited, and immediately dispersed, throwing down their knives and guns, and ran for their lives in all directions.

Chapter 848 The army is defeated like a mountain

Li Hong knew that the Yongwei Battalion, as the emperor's direct line of imperial guards, had terrific fighting power, but he never thought that the Guards Army under his command would be so vulnerable.

He was in the school grounds, before he finished his words, the south of the city was in a rush.

"It's not good, Du Si, the city is broken, and Chen Ce and the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion, I don't know how many, are rushing here!"

Hearing the servant rushing back and shouting, the expressions of all the generals in the guard station who were determined to be Qingjun's side suddenly changed, and all of them were panic-stricken.

"How come so fast?"

"Could it be that the brave guard camp is the heavenly soldiers descending to the earth! With the effort of saying a word, they entered the city?"

Looking at the lineup of family members and guards gathered in the school ground at this time, Li Hong, the commander of the capital of Shaanxi Province, can be regarded as a little bit talented in commanding the army, but it was not used in the right place.

Among the generals in the surrounding guards, Li Hong's family has the most members and the best equipment. Everyone is wearing iron armor and holding steel knives, which is similar to that of the frontier army.

There are nearly [-] servants, and it is unknown how many military households have to be embezzled in order to support these people.

Of course, this money is not wasted. The consequence of the current corruption of the guard system is that generals keep servants. Whoever has more servants will have a higher status.

The bigger the official position, the more soldiers he can lead in name, and naturally the more vacancies, and the more servants he keeps. Four hundred servants are enough for Li Hong to sit firmly in the seat of the capital.

These servants often only know that there is a Shangguan, but they don't know that there is an imperial court. Once something happens, they will follow the Shangguan to fight to the death.

"Duji, give the order!"

A chief of the guard said: "If the Yongwei Battalion wins like this, I'm afraid the next step is to abolish the guard!"

Hearing this, another CEO Qian spat indignantly:

"My servant is my lifeblood. Without my official position, how can I support my servant? Without my servant, how can I gain a foothold in this world?"

The rest of the guard generals also echoed.

"Yes! Didn't the imperial court force everyone to a dead end!"

"Shut up!" Shao Shiyan walked in from the outside at this time, the armor was already stained with some unknown blood.

When Li Hong saw it, he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

"Damn it, these imperial guards are all holding short guns in their hands, and they are smoking all the way, hitting their bodies, even the servants in cloth masks can't hold it!"

As Shao Shixin said, he sat down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Handgun?" Li Hong was taken aback, and murmured:

"I seem to have heard that it was developed by the Armament Department last year. Now only the frontier troops on the Nine Frontiers have the equipment. I didn't expect it to be so powerful!"

Speaking of this, Li Hong's eyelids twitched, revealing a fierce light.

"Brothers, go out and fight with them, and follow me to clear the king! Get rid of the eunuchs!" Li Hong drew out the shining wild goose-wing knife, shouted and rushed out.

The mutiny in Xi'an seemed to be very chaotic, but in fact everything had been expected by Zhu Youxiao.

No one knows the real number of the Guards Army, but what is certain is that the number is at least three times that of the Yongwei Battalion.

The five thousand brave guard battalion attacked the guard army in the city from the four gates of Xi'an city at the same time.

But none of the civil servants of the local government who were planning to watch the fun expected that the battle would go so smoothly.

Facing the elite Emperor's Forbidden Army of the Yongwei Battalion, the Weisuo rebels were so vulnerable.

Before entering the city, Chen Ce had already delineated the range of activities and attack plans for each team. From the time the horseshoes sounded from the Forbidden Army camp, the plan of the Brave Guard Battalion was being meticulously implemented.

Compared with the strict discipline of the Yongwei Battalion, the Weisuo Army is very uneven.

Li Hong, the governor of the capital, was still mobilizing in the school field in the city, and two of his confidants, Li Zheng and Shao Shiyan, had a conflict. Their subordinates fought in the city, and both sides suffered losses.

In the end, Li Zheng died among the rebellious army, along with more than [-] generals from the guard.

Once these people died, their subordinates were completely unrestrained, and immediately became heinous soldiers and bandits, robbing everywhere in the city.

And the subordinates of these people are actually not interested in Li Hong, the commander of the capital. The chief soldiers listen to the words of the servants, and the servants are only loyal to their own chiefs.

Once their respective chiefs are dead, who cares if they can't clear the king's side, the robbery is over, the killing is over, and the business is to take advantage of the chaos to get more benefits.

As the actual second-in-command of the Shaanxi capital, Shao Shiyan and Li Zheng fought for power instead of planning together, which is also the main reason why the Weisuo Army did not form combat effectiveness until the Yongwei Battalion entered the city.

The corruption of the guards is not only due to military households slack in fighting, but also because the vast majority of generals have no knowledge of military affairs, fear of death and greed for money.

When Shao Shiyan turned his head to gather the guards, he realized that it was over.

The guards had no discipline at all, and although the generals of the guards got together temporarily because their interests were damaged, they were not monolithic.

Up to now, they have had deep conflicts with each other, and they are in great chaos together. What they always think about is to preserve their own strength and take advantage of the chaos to gain benefits.

The generals of the various guards have different orders, the city is in chaos, even for a while, they are unable to restrain all their subordinates.

The general does not know the soldier, and the soldier does not recognize the general.Now in the hinterland of Ming Dynasty, the incompetence of these generals of the guard station who are pampered and respected on weekdays is even more unexpected by Li Hong, the commander of the capital.

Shao Shiyan couldn't even gather all the thousands of soldiers and horses under his command in a short time, let alone the rest of the guard generals.

In the end, he had no choice but to take more than [-] famous servants and temporarily recruit [-] guard soldiers to meet the brave guard cavalry who entered the city.

Except for more than [-] famous soldiers, Shao Shiyan's guard army had no fighting ability, and there was no suspense in the result. They were directly defeated by the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion and fled in all directions.

Compared with resisting the Yongwei Battalion, the guards were more interested in looting people and shops.

This mutiny was actually a farce staged by an old-school military general in the guard who was unwilling to delegate power, which further proved the corruption of the guard system and the correctness of Zhu Youxiao's previous policies.

With the mutiny, the countless discussions and plans of the generals of the guard before all vanished in an instant. No matter how careful the plan was, no one actually implemented it. In the end, it was just wishful thinking.

They all overestimated the cohesion of their subordinates. During the war, few guard generals were able to organize effective resistance.

What they can govern is nothing more than the elite servants raised by them.

The military households in the guards were usually oppressed by the superiors. At this time, most of the people just wanted to loot. When they met the banner of the Yongwei Camp, they were defeated like a mountain.

Chen Ce led the cavalry of the Yongwei Battalion. Since entering the city, they have been in a state of turmoil all the way, and have not encountered effective resistance from the rebel army at all.

The officers and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion became more and more courageous as they killed. After realizing the weak combat effectiveness of the Guards Army, they quickly regarded these rebellious soldiers as military exploits for nothing.

The current scene in Xi'an City is very similar to that of Liaodong in the past.

A soldier of the Yongwei Battalion in fine armor chased three or five rebels from the guard by himself, killing one and chopping down the other.

Even if they saw their companions being killed, the guard soldiers who were still alive had no strength to resist and stand up to escape.

There are also some guard soldiers who are desperate and have no choice but to resist, but they are often hacked by the brave guard camp or defeated by artillery.

Only half an hour after the start of the mutiny, the people of Xi'an hiding in their houses could hear the terrified and mournful cries of the rebels in the guards all over the city.

Chapter 849 Gexian Wei

"Whoever stays on the street will be killed!"

"Whoever robs women and children will be killed!"

"Whoever holds a weapon will kill!"

"By the emperor's edict, kill the rebels!"

The officers and soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion walked in the city of Xi'an, shouting loudly throughout the entire street, and the chaotic footsteps made everyone hiding in the houses frightened.

When Chen Ce came to the outside of the school grounds, he saw Li Hong riding a horse and leading his servants to rush out, and immediately shouted: "Hand guns, get ready!"

"put--!"

A series of explosions sounded like fried beans, and hundreds of family members in iron armor around Li Hong turned their backs. Although most of them were not directly killed, they were still terrified.

When Li Hong rushed outside the school grounds, he realized that the situation in the city was completely out of control.

Looking at the Yongwei Battalion chasing and killing his subordinates all over the street, it is obvious that their number is so small, and it is obvious that their number is several times that of them...

Thinking of this, his face twitched slightly, obviously unwilling.

But at this time, more cavalry had gathered, raising their guns one after another to aim at the large number of guards gathered in front of the school grounds.

Chen Ce narrowed his eyes and said coldly:

"Put down your swords, and you will avoid death! I am the military governor of the Emperor of the Yongwei Battalion!"

Hearing this, facing the black muzzle, the morale of the Guards Army was shaking and collapsing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Li Hong was terrified, and hurriedly said:

"Don't believe what he said! We are rebelling this time, and there is no way out for rebellion. Put down your weapons, and the court will not give you a way out."

"Follow me to the imperial camp outside the city, kill the emperor, there is still a glimmer of life!"

"Li Hong, thank you for knowing that this is a rebellion!" Chen Ce slowly drew out Shang Fang's sword and pointed it at the person in front of him with a cold killing intent in his eyes.

"The imperial court treats you well, but you are trying to kill the king!"

Immediately, he turned to the guard soldiers.

"Your Majesty came to Shaanxi this time to rescue the military households of Er and other guards. Don't you have family members in Jifu and Shanxi?"

"Go back and ask, what kind of life are they living now, and what kind of life are you living now!"

"Put down your swords, and you will avoid death! What Ben Du said always counts!"
