Father, I really don’t want to be the emperor

"Your Majesty, the situation is far worse than we expected, and the number of enemies far exceeds original estimates."

Luo Yong's face showed a worried look for the first time.

Ning Fan glanced at Luo Yong and said nothing, but looked sternly outside the forbidden palace.

Obviously, this was a premeditated rebellion, and the leader was Grand Master Li Cun!

Li Cun did not have a strong sense of existence in Ning Fan's heart, because Ning Fan rarely saw this person, and Li Cun often complained of illness and refused to go to court.

I never expected that this old guy, so wilted, would secretly make such a big noise without saying a word.

"There are only so many people, and you're already worried?"

Ning Fan frowned, his tone obviously displeased.

You must know that what Luo Yong said just now is at least to disturb the morale of the army, and at worst it is to retreat, which is very heartbreaking. At this time, we must boost morale and let everyone fight to protect the Forbidden City. This is the best policy.

At this moment, Luo Yong just woke up from a dream and finally realized how wrong his words were. His original intention was just to express the seriousness of the matter to Ning Fan, but at this moment he knew how wrong he was. Outrageous.

"But please rest assured, Your Majesty, brothers are confident of defeating these rebels. We have stockpiled a large number of firearms in the Forbidden City. Brothers are very motivated."

After Luo Yong woke up from his dream, he immediately expressed to Ning Fan his attitude of resolutely resisting the enemy.

While the two were talking, another wave of people rushed under the city wall. Ning Fan took a cursory look and saw that there were at least two thousand people, and they were setting up ladders, and they were coming menacingly.

These people were all wearing black armor and had black bags tied on their heads. They were silent and had fierce eyes.

"Give me."

Ning Fan reached out and took the compound bow from the hand of a general nearby. He drew the bow and nocked the arrow in one go. Ning Fan's bow and arrow pointed at the commander of the black-armored rebels.

The visual distance was at least 150 meters. At such a distance, most people would not be able to shoot at all, but Ning Fan directly aimed his bow and arrow at the enemy general. As the saying goes, shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, capture the thief first, and first capture the king. Ning Fan wanted it That's the effect.

With a bang, Ning Fan loosened his bowstring, and the arrow flew towards the general with a whoosh.

Ning Fan raised his head, and all the soldiers cheered. It turned out that the shot was really successful, and the black-armored general fell from his horse to the ground.

A group of surrounding rebels immediately rushed forward and surrounded the injured general.

There is no doubt that Ning Fan's heroic behavior greatly boosted morale. The defenders on the city wall were very motivated and kept pouring firearms towards the rebels below the city.

The firing speed of the flintlock gun is very slow. After all, after each shot, it takes at least a long time to reload the ammunition. This process will create a vacuum for the attack. Ning Fan quickly saw the problem, and he immediately used the The soldiers with muskets were divided into three teams, and the three teams shot each other.

In this way, the enemy is not left with any free time to attack.

Steel projectiles could easily penetrate the opponent's armor. The rebels below the city had no chance of winning, because they did not expect that the Imperial Guards would be equipped with such advanced firearms.

Soon, a wave of 2,000 rebels was repelled again, leaving corpses on the ground. Looking at the blood-red city below, Ning Fan sighed in his heart.

I am afraid that the vast majority of these people who died in the war were from poor families, and a very small number of them were hardly children from aristocratic families.

This is the most unfair part of the world. No matter at any time, the people at the bottom are still the ones who suffer the most.

In the evening, the Guards and another 20,000 people who were training outside the city finally received the news and began to enter the capital from outside the city.

A bloody battle between internal and external attacks was about to begin. Ning Fan finally felt relieved after learning that he had a great chance of winning.

This night was a bloody night. The enemy was extremely arrogant and took risks, but Ning Fan's reaction was perfect.

At the first opportunity, heavy troops were mobilized to besiege the rebels, and the rebels were killed without causing any losses.

The eunuchs and maids in the palace were still pale with fright, but when they saw Ning Fan's mighty and majestic body, they gradually calmed down. Although the shouts of killing outside the city were loud, the atmosphere in the palace finally relaxed. .

"Your Majesty, what's the situation outside?"

Xina boldly came to Ning Fan's side and gently squeezed Ning Fan's shoulders with her soft hands.

Ning Fan, who had taken off his armor, was dressed in comfortable clothes. When Xina's little hand squeezed him like this, Ning Fan immediately felt a sense of relief.

"The number of rebels is generally small. According to my estimate, there are only 5,000 people. The Guards have 30,000 people. It is not a problem to annihilate the rebels. I just don't know what the rebels will bring to Kyoto. The extent of the damage cannot yet be estimated."

Ning Fan frowned and said, as if this was a trivial matter.

Hearing Ning Fan's understatement, everyone finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Concubine Rong, who had been sitting silently in the corner, finally stood up: "Your Majesty, I am going back first."

Although winter has passed, it is still quite cold at night in spring. Ergou thought it must be a sleepless night, so he ordered people to light up the stove. Who knows that Ning Fan actually washed his feet early and lay down on the bed to sleep? .

The slight snoring made Ergou and Xina a little overwhelmed. Neither of them expected that the emperor was so powerful that the rebels outside surrounded the Forbidden City, while Ning Fan, the emperor, was fast asleep inside the house. .

At midnight, Luo Yong, covered in blood, hurried in from outside. From the exhaustion on his face and the excitement in his eyes, it could be seen that the battle was a victory.

"General Luo!"

Ergou stopped Luo Yong, who was in a hurry, and told him to keep his voice down and not make too much noise.

Luo Yong immediately showed a look of astonishment. He did not expect that Ning Fan would fall asleep at this time. When Luo Yong came to Ergou and asked in a low voice: "Is your Majesty sleeping?"

"After dinner, I went to bed."

Ergou nodded and said.

Looking at the messy expression on Luo Yong's face, Ergou said again: "Perhaps His Majesty is too reassured about the general, so he didn't worry about this matter. What's the situation outside? I'll wait for Your Majesty to wake up later. I will convey it to you later.”

The rebels have been basically put down. Some officials gathered at the north gate with their families and wanted to escape, but I and the imperial guards captured them all. Even the leader of the thieves, Li Cun, could not escape capture.

Ergou nodded slightly, and after the two chatted for a few more words, Luo Yong left in a hurry.
