6-41 Mutiny

6-42 Counterinsurgency

In the back garden of the palace, there are green trees, gurgling fountains, and colorful birds jumping around on the branches. There is no one in the empty courtyard. A group of soldiers covered in gunpowder smoke and blood stains are carrying a still smoking gun.

Fireguns broke into the imperial garden in a battle formation. Liu Mao Mao, who was hiding behind Liu Ziguang, was covered with a Spanish-style breastplate. He looked around curiously and smiled when he saw a beautiful bird on the tree.

Just as he was about to run up the tree, Liu Ziguang pulled him back and scolded him: "How long has it been since this happened? You just know how to play."

Liu Maomao pouted, snorted and hid behind Liu Ziguang, jumping into the imperial garden. As the group was walking, they suddenly heard rapid footsteps in front of them. Liu Ziguang waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately

Everyone found cover to hide, and aimed their guns in the dark ahead.

I saw a group of people in yellow robes rushing over in the distance. The first few strong men were holding long swords in their hands. In the middle, there were several women surrounding one person. Behind them were soldiers holding crossbows. Liu Ziguang took a closer look.

, three or four of these people looked very familiar, they had been pirates on the Black Pearl. Judging from their clothes and weapons, they should be the Ouchi guards from the Song Dynasty---with royal weapons, and the one who was captured

The person surrounded by the palace maids is none other than the Empress of the Song Dynasty.

These people were obviously being chased. From time to time, the sound of firecrackers was heard from behind. It seemed that the rebels had broken through the palace gate. Liu Ziguang signaled his men not to shoot and let this group of people pass. After this group of people rushed over in a hurry,

, the guard in front discovered the ambush behind the tree, and just as he was about to take action, Liu Ziguang and the Queen shouted "Stop" at the same time. Without saying anything, the two of them nodded in understanding, and then retreated to the outside of the palace with the soldiers. Liu Ziguang

After holding a long blunderbuss in person, the rebels quickly broke through the previous blockade with imperial weapons and pursued them aggressively. Seeing that their uniforms turned out to be those of the Royal Forest Army, it seemed that the power of the Green Army Association had penetrated into the Royal Forest Army.

Among them, it is no wonder that Wen Juan himself holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of the Royal Forest Army, so it is inevitable to develop his power in it.

Liu Ziguang used a fire blunderbuss to hit the pursuers on the head. The speed of lead bullets is much higher than that of bows and arrows. A small lead bullet can turn a person's head into a gourd of blood. The death is very miserable.

, and Liu Ziguang and others retreated while fighting, leaving many grenades with lit fuses along the way, which often blew up the pursuers. In this way, the pursuers' speed was naturally much slower. The Queen's side

He successfully pulled out dozens of royal horses from the royal stables, as well as a beautifully decorated and well-protected carriage. He was about to escape from the back door of the palace. Liu Ziguang caught up and saw that there were yellow carriages used by the emperor for traveling in the royal stables.

Luo Umbrella Gai insisted that the queen take the guard of honor and leave. Duguwen didn't think much and asked the guards to do as Liu Ziguang said.

Royal horses wearing bright yellow royal saddles were guarding a carriage rushing out of the palace. On the left and right footboards of the carriage stood four armed guards holding crossbows. The guards were watching eagerly, and Liu Ziguang's soldiers were also grabbing them.

He got off his horse and looked around the carriage. A group of Forbidden Army cavalry was rushing toward them, roaring with long spears and halberds. A burst of firecrackers came directly from here, knocking the cavalry off their horses, and then caught up and stabbed them to death with their spears.

The fallen rebels picked up their spears and hung them on the victory hooks for later use. After all, this musket was not easy to use. The battle between the two armies was still sword to sword and gun to gun.

The city was in chaos. The Queen's bright yellow chariot obviously played a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. From time to time, disrupted Xiang army soldiers and officials from the Bian Jing government office joined the team. Liu Ziguang rushed towards the south of the city with the chariot in his arms.

Go, according to the plan, his landing force will land in the south of the city, and they will make plans after the two meet up. With the queen in hand, he has the capital to command the world, although the queen is only in a symbolic sense.

Wen Jun had already taken over the leadership of the mutiny force and quickly dispatched more than a dozen small troops to quell the chaos in the city. He also sent people to contact the naval forces that had entered the city. However, the whole incident had worsened. First of all, the situation in the city

It was a mess. The natives, who were mainly Malays, had taken up arms and started rioting. The Song people were also fighting on their own. There was no news about the troops sent to capture Liu Ziguang. The troops who attacked the palace returned without success. There were still many rioters in the city.

Wandering around, Wen Jun's orders could not be completely implemented. They incited the rebellious Tibetan soldiers to stage a second mutiny, leaving Bian Jing City in a mess.

"I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me." Wen Jun looked up to the sky and sighed. He was originally an idealist, not a selfish person who was greedy for power. Because his obsolescence led to the current chaos, let this person

The young leader of the Qingjunhui felt extremely remorseful, but now that things have come to this, the only way to do business is to shoulder this responsibility and quickly quell the chaos.

A large-scale conflict broke out in the city between the sailors in white clothes and the Imperial Guards in light green clothes. Many of the nephews of the murdered Lu Biansheng served in the navy. The death of their relatives made them extremely angry and rejected Wen Juan's peace talks.

The Wen family was not prosperous, and many people died in the fire. According to statistics after the turmoil subsided, the Wen family was not prosperous.

, this catastrophe resulted in the death of half of the famous families in the Song Dynasty, and the vitality of the Song Dynasty was seriously damaged!

Liu Ziguang and others came all the way to the south of the city. The rebels on the city wall were at a loss when they saw the emperor's chariot. They did not dare to open fire on the convoy, but they were unwilling to open the city and let people go. Liu Ziguang picked up a fireworks bomb and fired it into the sky.

, the Ming army ambushed outside the city took the opportunity to attack, opened the city gate with several rocket launchers, and 1,500 soldiers swarmed in. Under attack from both inside and outside, the rebels at the south gate surrendered without much resistance. After all, the mutiny troops also

They are not monolithic. Some are more radical and some are more moderate. The guard of the South Gate is a moderate. Not far from the South Gate is the bay. The Ming army's warships are parked there and you can board them at any time to go to other islands. The Queen obviously

Without the ability to deal with this kind of chaos, everything was decided by Liu Ziguang. Just when they were about to escape from the south gate, a group of people followed them. The leader was an old man wearing a python robe. His eyebrows were very familiar. Look at the flag behind him.

, it turned out to be Zhao Kang’s father, Prince Taiping of the Song Dynasty, who had arrived.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty was not very prosperous, and the only direct descendant of the family was a girl. The princes like Zhao Jing and Zhao Kang could only be regarded as collateral descendants. Prince Taiping was one of the few uncles of the queen.

The old man was born in the navy, and his three sons and daughters all served in the military. The family also raised many warriors. When the turmoil broke out, all three of his sons and daughters happened to be at home, so he ordered servants, picked up weapons, and rode war horses.

King Qin came out to rescue him and chased him all the way from the palace to the south gate, and then he caught up with the queen's chariot.

The loyalty of the royal family can still be trusted. The prince and his three sons abandoned their weapons and came to see the emperor. After the two parties greeted the emperor, they quickly exchanged views. Because the slogan of the mutiny army was very unclear, and many veterans were killed as soon as they came.

, so it was very unpopular. Even Zhao Jing, who was a member of the Qing Army Association, had some opinions. The king of the county and Zhao Jing and Zhao Kang were even more angry and expressed their determination to fight the rebels to the end. The kings of the group have great prestige in the navy.

Gao, suggested that the Queen should not run away, but just wait in Nancheng for a while, and the overall situation would be stabilized after he got in touch with the navy officers and soldiers.

"Okay, I believe you, I will never leave the capital." The Queen, who had regained her composure, finally showed off her domineering style and decided to raise a banner in Nancheng and call on people from all walks of life to fight against the rebels. Liu Ziguang agreed with them

According to the opinion, the two armies joined together and began to set up defenses near the south gate city wall. The horses, sandbags and other objects on the city were moved down to build fortifications. The queen was invited to take shelter on the city tower. Before leaving, she seemed to think of something.

, said: "I appoint Liu Ziguang as the General of Recruitment to command all the armies. We must annihilate the rebels and eradicate the culprits."

Liu Ziguang transformed from an envoy of the Ming Dynasty to a recruiting general in the Song Dynasty. This was a bit fast, but having an official title in the Song Dynasty really helped his actions. Except for him, everyone present had rich experience in land warfare.

Yes, the others are all from the Navy, so the temporary order issued by the Queen is very reasonable. Normally, the rank of generals stationed in Song Dynasty must be approved by the Privy Council, but now everyone in the Privy Council is dead, and the emperor's verbal

The order became the highest directive in the Song Dynasty. No one jumped out to question the Queen's appointment at this time. Everyone stood around Liu Ziguang and listened to his orders very cooperatively.

Under Liu Ziguang's dispatch, scouts to gather intelligence and flag officers to contact the navy's large forces were dispatched one after another, as well as several small units to suppress the riots and gather troops, all radiating outward from a dot centered on the south of the city.

A bright yellow imperial flag was raised high on the south gate tower, which represented that the emperor was here. After seeing the imperial flag, the common people in Song Dynasty finally felt a little more at ease. At least the emperor was still there.

In the final analysis, this mutiny was just an immature movement instigated by a group of radical soldiers in the Youth Army Association. Even if the officialdom in the Song Dynasty needed to be reformed, it did not need to be carried out in such a violent way, and the conflicts between the young officers and the superiors did not break out.

To the point where they had to rebel, this mutiny was doomed to fail from the beginning. After more and more mutinous soldiers calmed down, they began to regret their actions.

News came from the south gate that the emperor had gathered his troops and started to hold on, and had received help from the first general of the Ming Dynasty. The naval forces on the opposite side were still exerting pressure. Large-scale battles had been carried out twice, although the combat effectiveness was not as good as

Forbidden Army, but after all, they have their own reasons and there are many people. If they keep going like this, they will win sooner or later. What's more important is that the chaotic capital makes the soldiers have no intention to fight. They are killing each other here, and the Malays are killing them over there.

Parents and people, this is too ridiculous.

After the Queen got in touch with the navy, the rebels who were defeated finally raised the white flag.
