The situation became more and more intense. These old soldiers attacked the mansion one after another, and the guards could no longer resist it. Logically speaking, although this was not Li Laiheng's royal residence or official office, it was one of the villas rewarded by Emperor Yongchang in the past. Where did the rebels come from?
Are you brave enough to attack Li Laiheng's mansion directly?
The maids all drew their swords, with solemn faces, and quickly formed a half-moon-shaped line of defense in front of You Ci. The long swords in their hands were like silvery white snowflakes, dazzling and awe-inspiring, very impressive.
The soldiers who were not wearing iron armor were also a little frightened by the cold sword light, and many of them unconsciously slowed down their rush and push forward.
At this time, another veteran shouted loudly:
"What's the difference between Luo Yanqing and Yang Chengzu and Ji Gui for conniving at traitors? It's like a nest of snakes and rats! We must avenge our brothers who died in vain!"
The rebel soldiers who had been slightly calmed down by the sword-wielding maids were stimulated by these words, and the atmosphere became angry again. From nowhere, a sound of bowstrings was heard, across the sky, and everyone present was shocked.
My heart felt tight.
The maids were worried that the rebels would shoot with bows and arrows, so several of them quickly picked up Youci and ran towards the house. However, someone in the crowd of rebels shouted loudly:
"It's the traitor Cao who shoots the arrow, it's the traitor Cao who shoots the arrow... The traitor wants to kill us -"
This shout is like a spark falling into a frying pan, instantly igniting a raging flame. The accumulated fuel has already been piled up. Once the flame burns, it will surely start a prairie fire.
You Ci, who was picked up by the maids, squeezed the cross so hard with her small palms that the tip of the cross almost pierced her skin. She looked behind the crowd of rebels, but a ray of light lit up in her eyes:
"Your Highness..."
Step, step, step...
The sound of horse hooves roared like a storm, and the four hooves of the war horses trampled crazily on the main road in Kaifeng City that had been repaired many times by the Dashun Army. The intensive sound of galloping from far to near made the earth tremble.
The rebels had just reacted. Many of them turned around and looked around, and immediately saw King Li Laiheng of Jin personally coming with a group of cavalry. This group of cavalry did not have helmets or armor, but they all held a pole tied to the tip.
The knights, led by Li Laiheng, cut into the center of the rebel queue in a wedge-shaped formation, and dozens of horse poles danced wildly and struck.
Although the top of the horse-shaft was tied with cotton cloth, none of the rebels were wearing armor, and most of them had their upper bodies exposed, not even wearing a thicker piece of clothing. Being stabbed by the horse-shaft still hurt.
extremely.
The cavalry team's attack was powerful and unstoppable. Li Laiheng held a horse in his hand and rushed away the rebels, while raising the edict issued by the supervisor in the air and saying sternly:
"The affairs of Cao Ying's old department have been dealt with by the Supervisory State, and no one will be allowed to bend the law for personal gain. All armies are not allowed to use their own pretexts to cause trouble wantonly. Go back to their respective military camps as soon as possible. If you don't punish me for now... go back quickly! Otherwise!
I had no choice but to be ruthless and take people on the spot."
Li Laiheng dismounted from his horse, threw his horse to the ground, held up the edict of supervising the country with both hands, and walked straight into the crowd of rebels. Seeing this, the other pro-army knights behind him also dropped their horses and dismounted, following Li Laiheng.
.
Li Laiheng approached the rebels, pointed at a veteran with only nine fingers in front of him and said:
"Are you Wang Jincai's brother? I remember you! The first batch from Shenzhou City rushed into the Chinese army camp in Jilhalang. One of their fingers was knocked off by a stray bullet from the Qing army, but they were not afraid.
You are a good man, you have killed many dogs and Tatars, you are really brave on the battlefield. But why do you come here to make trouble? Are you bullying the women and children of the lonely family!
The Supervisory State has issued an edict, you all should go back! The Supervisory State will handle it on its own, and there will be no injustice."
The veteran didn't expect that Li Laiheng actually knew him and remembered his deeds, and he couldn't help but look ashamed on his face.
Li Laiheng then faced the numerous rebel soldiers, lifted up his clothes, revealing many battle wounds on his arms, and shouted:
"Gu followed Emperor Yongchang and defeated Hechu in hundreds of battles, giving the Dashun Army a foothold today. You are all veterans of the Yuan Dynasty in Dashun, so why did you come to make trouble in Gu's house? You want to kill Gu.
?
Then come here and stab here, let me see who is more powerful than Zuo Liangyu, Obai and Dorgon!"
Li Laiheng's words were resounding, and his momentum was so compelling. He threw down his weapons and walked into the crowd of rebels with only dozens of followers, but there was no trace of fear on his face, and there was no trace of fear in his tone.
Confused.
On the contrary, the many veterans who surrounded Li Laiheng did not know what to say under his words. Many of them quietly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at King Jin. Only a few of them had pricked their heads.
He retorted:
"We come to Daoma Dan to seek justice for brother Qin Zhong who died in vain. It has nothing to do with His Highness the King of Jin!"
Li Laiheng laughed angrily when he heard this, hehehe, and said with a sneer:
"This is Miss Youci, not Princess Jin. The princess is currently in the palace, recuperating next to the Queen Mother. I'm afraid you don't have the courage to break into the palace, so why not go directly to the orphan to ask for justice."
Luo Yanqing was already on the verge of giving birth. According to the imperial doctors recruited by Li Laiheng after the medical examination, she should give birth in a few days. So during this period, Li Laiheng simply asked Empress Dowager Gao for help.
Luo Yanqing temporarily stayed with Empress Dowager Gao to avoid any emergency.
The rebel soldiers didn't expect that they would be in vain and cause such an inconvenience, and they became even more ashamed. Li Laiheng was unreasonable and cursed again:
"This is Miss Youci. She is Miss Youci who is in charge of the old camp. Don't you recognize her? Then call your wives and parents and ask them if they recognize Miss Youci. Ask them when they were in the old camp.
, who prepares meals for them every day and treats the injured?
You are talking nonsense!”
The rebels were finally speechless. Only a one-eyed veteran said strongly: "The fall of Shaanxi was all due to Cao Ying's rebellion. We heard that many Cao Ying rebels actually ran back to the Dashun Army after Yang Chengzu died.
Come... we just want to kill all the traitors in Cao's camp so that the brothers who died in vain will not die in peace."
Li Laiheng recognized this person as a soldier beside Zhang Nai, but he did not say anything directly. Instead, he sighed lightly and said:
"You all go back to your respective military camps first... The Supervisor has dealt with this matter, and I will make an explanation to the entire Dashun Army. Dashun will never let go of any traitor, and will never let any brother die in peace.
.
You go back first, and the supervisor will handle this matter impartially soon."
Li Laiheng saw that most of the rebels looked ashamed and had the intention of retreating. He snorted in his heart and waved his hand. He stopped arguing with them and led the group of knights straight into the mansion.
Then the maids and guards immediately closed the door of the mansion. The rebels didn't know whether to continue rushing over and forcefully open the door, or to disperse. They all froze on the spot, not knowing what to say.
After a while, the door of the mansion opened, and a maid came out holding the imperial edict and whispered:
"The King of Jin ordered you all to return to your respective military camps as soon as possible, otherwise you will be punished by military law..."
She opened the edict of supervising the country again and read it to everyone. In the edict, Li Guo stated that Cao Ying's rebellion was an unpardonable crime. Previously, due to the tense situation and the tight strength of Dashun's army, many rebels had to be pardoned and temporarily exempted from their crimes.
, in order to use their troops to quell the chaos in the northwest. Now the situation has gradually stabilized, and after the meeting between the generals of Dashun is over, these rebels will be properly dealt with.
After saying this, the troublemaking soldiers slowly dispersed and returned to their respective military camps.
