The people in the capital were busy waiting to see a second-rank official beheaded in the street. On the way, someone suddenly shouted a slogan about robbery. Everyone looked around, and after looking for a long time, they didn't see any bandits jumping out. The soldiers escorting the prisoners also didn't see them.
I stopped and looked at it for a long time, but didn't notice anything strange. The leader yelled: "It's okay, it's okay, let's go, let's go -"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the sound of horse hooves, firecrackers, gongs, and even the sound of a suona. It looked more like a wedding than a robbery. A group of people ran along the west side of Zhuque Street, wearing neat dark green military uniforms.
Wearing round helmets and holding shiny black muskets, the escorting soldiers had never seen that style before. Four carriages lined up behind them, carrying four large cannons. The leader of the officers and soldiers shouted: "Why are you panicking! Calm down!"
..." Before the word "come" could be uttered, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the east, as well as firecrackers, gongs and suonas. A group of men and horses also came running, followed by four artillery pieces. Both ends were blocked to watch the excitement.
The people retreated to the roadside like a tide, only regretting that their parents had lost two legs. The prison car was blocked at both ends on Zhuque Street.
The leader of the officers and soldiers was a general in his forties with a dark face. He took off his musket from behind and shouted loudly: "Who is coming!"
I saw a tall black horse coming out from the west, with a young man sitting on it. He smiled and hugged the officers and soldiers: "Thank you for your hard work, fellow officers and soldiers. We are here to rob the prison car. You see, we are the largest in number. When it comes to firearms, we are also good. Brothers, officers and soldiers, all have parents and children, so why bother throwing away their lives in vain? How about this? You just treat it as being outnumbered and forced to surrender, it is worse than losing your life."
The general said with a sneer: "As an official of the imperial court, I have been favored by the emperor. I would rather die in battle than become a thief."
The young man said: "The general is wrong. What is an official and a thief? What is the emperor's favor? The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. There is not even an emperor in the capital, so what is the use of the emperor's favor?"
General Pi said: "Stop talking nonsense."
The young man sighed: "There is nothing we can do." He turned the horse's head and retreated back to his own formation.
A soldier took a suona in his hand and blew a few times. The bandit soldiers at both ends turned their horses and walked back from both sides of the road. The officers and soldiers were confused and didn't know what they were going to do. The general was quite tall and sat on the back of the horse.
Looking up, he saw that the enemy troops had changed their formations. Of the four artillery pieces on both sides, two remained in place and two were transported to the other end. After a while, four artillery pieces were left to face the prison car in the middle. The general was a little anxious.
.Aren’t they here to rob Feng Ziying?
There was another long sound of the suona, and many soldiers suddenly appeared from the roofs of shops on the roadside. The officers and soldiers looked up and saw that these people were also wearing green military uniforms and round helmets, lying on the tiles in a row.
The color of these military uniforms and helmets is the same as the green tiles on the roofs of shops. From a distance, they cannot be seen at all. The muskets in the hands of the people on the roof have long barrels, and they look cold. The officers and soldiers are ambushed from all sides. On the roof
Someone stood up and said loudly: "I'm counting from one to ten. I still miss my parents, wife and children. If I don't want to die in vain, I'll leave immediately."
The general raised his musket and aimed at the man. Before he could shoot, he heard a "bang" and a bloody hole was pierced through his shoulder. The men started to count. "One, two, three, four..." They counted.
At four o'clock, a jailer who followed from the prison of the Ministry of Punishments ran away first. A soldier saw this and raised his gun to shoot. Again, he did not shoot, so he was hit first. This time, a bloody hole opened on his forehead.
The man fell to the ground and died. The man on the roof was still counting. Several other jailers saw it and hurriedly ran after him. The jailer ran away in the blink of an eye, and the two soldiers immediately followed him. Another small leader raised his gun to kill the deserter, and another
He was shot in the head by someone on the roof and died. It was like a floodgate had been opened, and the soldiers fled in all directions.
The leading general sighed and said to the soldiers: "His marksmanship is far better than ours."
When the man on the roof finished counting, he shouted down: "If you put down your musket and raise your hands, you will not be killed; if you hold the gun, you will die."
General Pi looked around and saw that there were only about twenty soldiers left. These people also had families and businesses, and it was not worth dying in vain. So the leader raised his hands. When all the soldiers saw it, they put down their muskets and raised their rifles.
Hands surrender.
The soldiers lying on the roof did not move. A group of people emerged from behind them and jumped to the ground. Several of them pulled out their sabers and cut off the locks on the prison car, freeing Feng Ziying and his two sons.
A soldier was about to cut open the long shackles, and the man on the roof also jumped down, came over and said with a smile: "I'll do it." Then he took out a purse from his arms, and took out a silver needle from the purse.
After picking it a few times with a silver needle, the lock opened.
Feng Ziying's neck relaxed and she rubbed it with a smile: "It's much easier now." Then she looked at this person and asked, "You came in person?"
The man said: "Mr. Feng, how important you are. Not only am I here, but also everyone who should come is here."
Feng Ziying hummed: "Wait a minute."
The man then said to General Pi: "Are you going to go back individually or will you be captured by us? Don't worry, we will treat the prisoners well."
General Pi shook his head and asked, "Whose people are you from?"
The man said: "We are from Taiwan."
General Pi was shocked: "Taiwan Prefecture is not the prince's territory? Have you, the prefect Jia, rebelled?"
The man smiled, pointed at Feng Ziying and said: "The King of Yan wants to kill Lord Feng, can't we, the magistrate Jia, do the opposite? General, you want my minister to die, but I don't want to die, so I have no choice but to rebel. This is the King of Yan
Forced."
General Pi looked around: "The soldiers of the Taiwan government are probably stronger than the Yan army."
"Thank you for the compliment." The man said, "I'm afraid it's more than a little stronger. The firearms are also more than a little stronger."
General Pi nodded and thought for a moment: "In this case, we will be captured."
The man nodded: "Okay." Then he ordered people to escort the soldiers away.
Feng Ziying asked from the side: "Are you going to attack the Forbidden City?"
The man smiled bitterly and said, "I also want to attack the Forbidden City. My third uncle refuses."
Feng Ziying asked curiously: "Why did he refuse?"
Before the man had time to answer, the young man riding a black horse from the west had already rushed over. He jumped off the horse and put his arms around Feng Ziying's shoulders: "Brother Feng!" The person who came was none other than Jia Cong. The one who jumped down from the roof was Jia Cong.
Gong Kun and Feng Ziying had just come out of the prison car. Although they knew that being imprisoned was Gong Sanyi's plan, they were still frightened by the idea. When they saw Jia Cong, they suddenly felt relieved. The two of them were close to each other in the street.
Hug for half a day.
While they were talking, a white horse ran out from the east, and immediately there was an old man with white beard and hair. It was Gong Sanyi who had disturbed a pool of spring water in the capital for most of the past six months. The old man also jumped off the horse. Gong Kun immediately said: "Third uncle, Feng
Your Excellency said, go straight to the Forbidden City."
Gong San also said: "Wait a little longer."
Jia Cong and Feng Ziying finished hugging each other and turned around: "Why wait any longer? Earlier, I couldn't bear to point guns at King Yan, but now he is no longer in the palace. I couldn't find a suitable excuse earlier, but now I have it.
.”
Feng Ziying said: "Since King Yan wants to kill me, it is obvious that he will not let Rongguo Mansion go. The relationship between our two families is irreversible."
Gong San also said: "This excuse is not enough for rebellion, let alone enough to bring peace to the world."
Jia Cong looked at him and said, "Mr. Gong, besides this, is there any other reason?"
Gong San also said: "You want to pacify the world and send troops overseas, why do you need to jump out and become a thorn in the eyes of the world?"
Jia Cong smiled slightly: "It turns out that it's because of this. It's easy to handle. I just won't proclaim myself emperor for the time being." Nai raised his arm and pointed to the sky, "Yan State is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and its folk customs are the most feudal. If they suddenly make a U-turn, it will be a big mistake."
Some people can't bear it. It doesn't matter, we can wait. Sir, don't worry, it will be ten years at most. King Yan's youngest son seems to be three years old?"
Gong Sanyi frowned: "You don't want to proclaim yourself emperor?"
"Who said I won't proclaim the emperor?" Jia Cong blinked, "I said, I won't proclaim the emperor for the time being——"
Feng Ziying said: "Even if you do what Dong Zhuo did, it will definitely arouse the excitement of the people in the world. It will not be easy to handle."
Jia Cong smiled and said: "Mr. Gong and Brother Feng, please rest assured. I promise that they will not know what I am going to do and dare not act rashly." He raised his right hand and said, "Everyone, let's go and capture Prince Yan's Mansion."
The two armies formed one army and attacked the Yan Palace in a mighty manner.
It just so happened that early this morning, another imperial guard was transferred out of the city by the Tiger Talisman Secret Order. Last time, no one told the generals that the Tiger Talisman Secret Order was false. The emperor's family had many complicated affairs, so there were not many people.
Q. I got a secret order today, and I must act in accordance with it. However, King Yan’s personal guard camp has been gone since he came back from Cuiwei Mountain in the western suburbs last time. King Yan blamed them for their incompetence and only knew how to eat but not do anything. He ordered them to be
They were dispersed and assigned to the Imperial Guard Army. A new guard battalion was also allocated from the Imperial Guard Army, but the number was a little small - only 500 people. However, the newly appointed crown prince ordered Sun Shaozu to help him organize 5,000 personal guards.
camp.
The soldiers and horses of the Taiwan Prefecture captured Prince Yan's Mansion without any effort, captured the false Prince Yan who was lying in bed and his youngest son in the backyard, and turned around to attack the third son's mansion.
The signboard of the Prince's Mansion has been hung here. When they arrived at the door, they saw soldiers guarding the roof with guns from a distance. Jia Cong sighed softly: "What a pity. I don't like destroying buildings." He ordered,
"fire."
The biggest advantage that Taiwan's army had was firearms. They were still far away from the firing range of the guns of the Yan army soldiers, but the artillery was already within reach. With a loud "bang", the southwest corner of the prince's mansion collapsed.
At this time, the prince was anxious in the house, cursing: "People are knocking on the door, and I don't know where they came from!"
Roman was also in front of him and said: "The enemy did not raise a flag."
The prince scolded: "Where is Sun Shaozu? Why haven't you come yet?"
Roman said: "My lord, don't worry, someone has already sent a message to General Sun."
A scout said from the side: "General Sun is rushing to Zhuque Street."
The prince stamped his feet anxiously: "Where are the others?" The scout was silent.
At this moment, someone came in and replied: "Your Highness, the large flower hall in the southwest corner has collapsed."
"How did it collapse?!"
"The enemy's artillery is powerful and they fired from a long distance."
"Why don't you fight back?"
"The range is too far."
Roman stumbled with an "Oh!" and said, "I'm afraid these are the soldiers and horses that the prince has hidden in the dark."
"Nonsense!" the prince shouted, "Who else would save Feng Ziying except him!"
Another person came in and replied: "Your Highness, the stable in the southeast corner has also collapsed."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" The prince gave a random push, and all the teapots and teacups on the table fell to the floor.
Roman quickly asked: "Are there any enemy troops in the back garden?"
"No."
Roman bowed and said: "My lord, don't hesitate. Let's go quickly. Keep the green hills here, and don't worry about running out of firewood. The humble minister will die anyway, so raise the white flag and go out to deal with the prince for a while."
The prince's eyes lit up: "Luo Aiqing..."
"Don't hesitate." Roman bowed to the ground, "If you don't leave, it will be too late."
The prince gritted his teeth: "You are my father's confidant, he may not kill you." Roman nodded.
Not long after, the prince disguised himself as a servant, followed by about ten guards, and slipped out from the corner door of the garden of the mansion. After looking around for a long time, he saw no pursuers, so he boldly ran forward. After turning around the alley, he suddenly felt a gloomy scene behind him.
It was dark. He stopped and looked around, and saw several green figures lying on the roof of a house opposite. Before the prince had time to shout, several gunshots were fired, and more than a dozen people fell to the ground.
At the other end, Roman slowly walked out of the main gate and slowly raised the white flag in his hand. He held his arms behind his back and talked to Jia Cong for a long time. He returned to the house and told the leader of the guard camp: "Jia Cong promised not to hurt the young master. Anyway, the master has run away.
Come on, surrender." Then Hefu surrendered.
Within a few hours, the capital changed drastically. Jia Cong of the Rongguo Mansion led his troops to hijack the prison car and rescued the cabinet bachelor Feng Ziying and his two sons who were almost killed. He also occupied the Prince of Yan's Mansion and bombarded the new Prince's Mansion, which was a complete counterattack.
Unexpectedly, two days later, King Yan fell ill again and came out to see his ministers to show that he was not dead. However, the soldiers and horses of the Taiwan government had already stationed in the King of Yan's mansion, and the Royal Forest Army could not defeat them at all.
King Yan issued an edict to appoint his youngest son, who was only three years old, as his heir apparent. He ordered his son to worship Jia Cong as his teacher and Jia Cong as his regent. The ministers were dissatisfied, and the capital was filled with poems and essays criticizing Jia Cong.
Dong Zhuo and Jia Cong of his generation disagreed with him.
In a small town in Handan City, there was a guest who stayed in an inn for many days. He heard about the great changes in the capital outside and was shocked for a long time. He returned to the courtyard and meditated alone for half an hour, murmuring: "He really
It's the opposite." He sighed again, "I'm afraid it's not just Dong Zhuo. Fortunately, Princess Jian'an is the daughter of my Situ family."
A few days later, Jia Cong was awarded the title of Regent of the State of Yan in the lobby of Prince Yan's Mansion. Few ministers of the State of Yan came to congratulate him. Jia Cong never returned to Rongguo Mansion since arriving in Beijing. Jia Zheng came to the Prince of Yan's Mansion several times to seek an audience but was not allowed in.
, he became angry and sick when he returned home. Jia Cong on the spot proclaimed his eldest daughter Jia Dingbang, who had just turned one year old and was still in Taiwan, as his daughter-in-law. When the news came out, the whole capital was in an uproar.
The next day, the regent Jia Cong issued the first decree at the Prince of Yan's Mansion: Lin Daiyu, the military adviser of the Second North American Army of the Yan State, was appointed as the prime minister of the Yan State. This was an incredible move. Who had ever heard of a woman being the prime minister? In just half a day, various resignations were made
The tables in Prince Yan's mansion were piled up. Jia Cong smiled and said: "They don't want to do it anymore, right? No problem! There are many people who want to do it." With a stroke of his pen, they all agreed.
When these things were spread to other countries, no one believed them at first and just said they would wait. After waiting for a while, they heard that Jia Cong had established a daughter and made a woman his prime minister. The princes of all the families breathed a sigh of relief: The Yan Kingdom is bound to win.
There are still big changes, let's wait and see. Only Situ Cen of Shu sighed and ran to his father: "Jia Cong has really rebelled."
