Chapter 175: Cannon Shooting Caterpillars
"Are you going to force the palace?
Is it because I have never killed a murder in this Nanjing city, so that you don’t know who you are facing?”
Yang Feng sneered.
"Students dare not, students are only loyal to Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. However, what Your Majesty does is becoming increasingly turbulent, and the country of the Ming Dynasty is forever. Students want to imitate Yang Zhongmin Gong, and use this meager body to awaken Your Majesty. If there is not enough students, then all the 30,000 scholars behind the students are willing to imitate Yang Zhongmin Gong. Students know that Your Majesty's martial arts are of great power, but because the death of the student can awaken Your Majesty, the student will be willing to receive the sword of Your Majesty."
Mao Pijiang said.
"Students are willing to receive the sword of Your Majesty!"
Huang Zongxi and others also lowered their heads and said righteously.
"Your Majesty is strong enough to refuse advice, and wisdom is enough to exaggerate wrong. However, right and wrong will be discussed in public. Although Your Majesty's sword is sharp, it is difficult to block the mouths of the crowd. Students know that they will die today, and students will be willing to die for justice. Then in history, they will remember the loyalty of students, but they don't know what your Majesty will treat Taizu and his ancestors!"
Mao Qiling said.
"The student is willing to receive the sword of His Majesty."
Thirty thousand green worms shouted in unison behind them.
The surging blue tide was getting closer and closer, and soon approaching the red. In front of this crowd of people ten times more than oneself, the defense line of the Second Infantry Brigade, four rows of horizontal lines looked so thin.
In fact, these blue worms were not only approaching, but many of them had ulterior motives. They not only began to curse and scold Yang Feng for his various actions, but also described him as monsters again. In addition, they bewitched the soldiers against him, and as the distance got closer, the blue worms at the front of the team had already started running, trying to attack the soldiers' defense line. Their number was too large. Once they rushed to the defense line, the soldiers could not stop them with bayonets alone.
Huang Xu looked at Yang Feng.
Yang Feng looked motionlessly.
Mao Pijiang and others smiled, and it was obvious that they could see that the dog emperor did not have the courage to fire.
This is actually the entire Confucian system and his decisive battle. The various manifestations of this dog emperor over the years clearly show that he abandoned Confucianism. Whether it was targeting the Kong family, attacking officials, or promoting officials, they were all completely separated from the Confucian system. They have developed to the present, in fact, abolishing the imperial examination. This is a completely premeditated gradual process. They can tolerate the equalization of the land order and tolerating the food in one piece, but they can definitely not tolerate the abolition of the imperial examination.
Because abolishing the imperial examinations is equivalent to completely abolishing the Confucian principle of governing the country.
Abolishing the imperial examinations is equivalent to completely letting them fall from the privilege level of being above the people, which can override the people to the same level as those untouchables. In their opinion, this is completely intolerable. They think they are born noble, born with the aura of Wenqu star, and are born to rule those untouchables. They cannot tolerate equality with the latter, which is simply a rebellious thing. Therefore, in order to maintain the Confucian system of governing the country and maintain the nobleness of the heir, they are really going to fight to the death with this dog emperor at this time.
This is a battle of Taoism.
Just as they wrote on their banners, this is to defend the way of death.
This is no longer simply a benefit, but it can even be said to be a war of faith. They are not afraid of death. Even if they die, they will be remembered by later generations as martyrs. Moreover, they do not believe that the dog emperor dares to open fire. Here are 30,000 scholars, which represents the entire Confucian system. If the dog emperor dares to open fire, it is equivalent to a complete war with the entire Confucian system. It will definitely cause the world to fall into chaos again. They have read the books of sages and sages, and they have sufficient confidence in their importance. Without them, the country will sooner or later be able to take pills. They believe that the dog emperor also understands this.
However……
"Do you think I dare not kill anyone?"
Yang Feng said with a hint of sneer.
Then he looked down at the army of blue worms that were about to hit the defense line with arrogant eyes.
Mao Pijiang and others suddenly felt cold in their hearts.
"Open fire!"
Almost at the same time, Yang Feng said lightly.
"Open fire!"
Huang Xu roared with a finger of the sword in his hand.
Three thousand two hundred soldiers in the array pulled the trigger almost at the same time, just like a volcano erupting. Three thousand two hundred bandit guns spewed out flames at the same time. In the flames and smoke, accompanied by dense gunfire, three thousand two hundred lead bullets with 18 mm diameter flashed over their heads in the horrified eyes of Mao Pijiang and others, and hit the middle of the green worms like a storm. At a distance of only a few shots were wasted. The tide of blood splashing in the green worms was like a collapsed sand wall. A layer of strange collapsed in an instant. The two teams that were about to hit suddenly appeared in the middle, and the green worms who were still moving behind also stopped in an instant, and then looked ahead one by one.
The isolation belt of corpses and seas of blood lies like a wall between them and the soldiers. More than three thousand dead bodies and wounded fell in the blood that gathered quickly. Screams rang out in chaos. The dying people struggled in despair, and their lifeless eyes looked up at the sky. At this moment, all the blue worms were trembling, all the blue worms' brains were blank, and even their urine was flowing down involuntarily.
Mao Pijiang turned his head with difficulty and looked at Yang Feng's smiling face on the stage.
"fire!"
The latter said calmly.
Dozens of cannons on the bank of the Yangtze River suddenly roared, and solid shells rushed straight into the green insects with powerful kinetic energy, and kept moving forward with fierce killing. Countless broken limbs and arms scattered in the impact of the shells. Blood formed a strange blood-red mist in the sun. Then the flowering shells fell immediately, and the shrapnel in the flames began to harvest life.
"go ahead!"
Huang Xu's roar came from the sound of cannons.
Three thousand two hundred soldiers were carrying bayonet guns, pushing forward like a wall. At the same time, the two hundred cavalrymen arranged on the other side controlled the war horses and also began to accelerate towards the green insects.
These soldiers from those untouchables and the righteous people in Liaodong had no feelings for these southern scholars. They were like killing machines. As long as the emperor activated them, they would shoot bullets at anyone according to the emperor's intentions, even these noble scholars and the guys who claimed to be Wenquxing. This is the significance of Yang Feng's use of untouchables as the core of his army back then. Only those who had no connection with the gentry class and the Confucian system could truly obey his command and go to war against this class without any scruples.
The gentry of Jiangnan who could not wait to clean them up as garbage now finally knows what it means to suffer oneself.
Just as the bayonet wall passed the densely packed dead bodies, countless cries suddenly sounded among the remaining green insects in the petrified state. Then everyone turned around and ran backwards without any effort. They pushed each other and even trampled on each other, running like crazy, constantly pushing their companions to the ground and trampling on them.
The cavalry's horses galloped and hit their backs fiercely, knocking them directly to the ground, and then trampled them mercilessly. The swords on the horse's back shone, and the swords were cut down with arc light, cutting off noble heads...
"I don't want to kill anyone anymore, why do you provoke me?"
Looking at Mao Pijiang and others who were still kneeling there, Emperor Yang said helplessly.
The latter looked behind him tremblingly.
The green worms who had no time to escape from this hell had even begun to escape into the river without any effort, but they still could not escape the fate of death. As the soldiers on the shore shot, they quickly turned into floating corpses in the river. The rest continued to flee deep into the river in horror, and then were soon caught in the surging waves.
"I am not without room for you. I collect your land for money. I abolish the imperial examination, but you can still take the exam for the official. If you are really capable, you can also be promoted to a senior official. I monopolize the export of tea silk but still leave domestic trade for you. I monopolize the grain trade, but I still encourage you to engage in grain import trade. I leave room for you. I do not like Confucian scholars, but what I don't like is the useless corrupt scholars. I also like those who are truly talented, such as my chief assistant, Du Yinxi, who also comes from Jiangnan, and Song Yingxing, the Minister of Works, whoever has talent will use whoever has talent, and I will also use it.
But why do you have to use this method to force me?
I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of people I have killed on the battlefield. Why do you so naively think that I won't kill you? Is there anything special about you?"
Yang Feng said.
"You Jie and Zhou!"
Mao Pijiang roared like an outbreak.
At the same time, he jumped up violently, rushed to the stage regardless of everything, waved the Taizu tablet in his hand and was about to smash Yang Feng.
Then a silver arc flashed through.
Mao Dacai fell on the stage all of a sudden. He looked in shock at the lower half of his body that had been away from his lower half, and then looked at his upper half of his body above his waist, and then he let out a painful wail.
"Dare to kill the lord, confiscate his house, and destroy his whole family. As for the remaining guys, together with the men from the Kong family, they were all incorporated into the gentleman camp. Didn't they say that they were only loyal to me and the Ming Dynasty? Then give them a chance to show their performance. Also, all the scholars caught this time were dealt with accordingly, and tell King Guangling to send them to the place where the battle was most intense, and... "
Yang Feng inserted the giant Mo Dao that was already stuck aside again on the stage, and then looked at Mao Pijiang who was cut in half by him with a smile.
"It is said that this guy has a concubine named Dong Xiaowan, don't forget to send it to me!"
He said to Liang Cheng.
