Chapter 751 - Ground Cover (4K Asking for a Monthly Pass)
On a snowy night, the gate of the capital city of Northern Qi was opened from the inside.
Anyway, there are no city guards, and it is not difficult for everyone to open the city gate at all.
Outside the city, beggars who had fled were crowded in rags, and groups poured into the capital.
The residents in the capital who can walk are gone, and the remaining ones who are not leaving are either waiting for death at home or looking for a chance to get a vote.
In addition, in the past six months, in order to fight against the Southern Zheng State, and at the same time to prevent the sneak attack of the Tianzheng Empire, it has to devote all the country's strength to equip all the troops that can fight.
The food, drink, and clothing of so many soldiers is an expenditure that almost depletes the treasury.
In addition, a large number of people were requisitioned to send grain as support, and countless men could not go to the fields to farm, which also greatly affected the production of grain.
There was also a drought that continued from the second half of the year.
The entire Northern Qi Dynasty was in dire straits.
Although there was no natural disaster of drought in the Southern Zheng State, it had been in a frontal battle with the Northern Qi Dynasty, and it had also spent a lot of manpower and material resources, the treasury was almost depleted, and although the number of casualties was less than that of the Northern Qi State, the absolute number was still quite a lot.
In this way, among the three kingdoms on the Zhongzhou continent, only Xie Dongli's Tianzheng Empire is outstanding, not only did not the war spread to its own land, but also this year the wind and rain were smooth, the grain harvest was abundant, and the people had enough food and clothing, and there was no tragic situation like the Northern Qi and Southern Zheng.
Therefore, in the midst of war, only the Tianzheng Empire is like a paradise, a pure land outside the sky.
The first to come were the refugees who had fled from Northern Qi.
Xie Dongli did not blindly block them, but let them live in the designated place of the Tianzheng Empire. If there is a man in the family who joins the army of the Tensho Empire and makes military contributions to the Tensho Empire, the whole family can obtain the household registration of the Tensho Empire and become a national of the Tensho Empire, protected by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tensho Empire and the army.
Such a good thing naturally made many Northern Qi refugees who had left their homes and had nothing to respond, and the young men among them joined the army of the Tianzheng Empire and stationed in the border areas, which in turn strengthened the defense line of the Tianzheng Empire.
In this way, the population of the Tensho Empire increased rapidly, and the number of troops increased rapidly.
With so many people, only the Tensho Empire has the financial resources and food to feed them.
The Northern Qi Dynasty gradually declined, from the strongest country among the three kingdoms to the most dilapidated country.
Although Xia Fan commanded the Jinyi Guard, he didn't know how to govern the country and command the army, he only knew how to obey the command of the ancestral god, and forced the Northern Qi army to quickly take down the Southern Zheng State, so as to unite the strength of the two countries, break the Tianzheng Empire in one fell swoop, and take Xie Dongli and Yuan Yingsleeve.
Such a consequence, Xie Dongli had long expected it.
The ancestral god is not human, so don't expect it to think what people think and be anxious about what people are anxious about.
Every step of its way is to achieve its own goals, and those who are used by it as a stepping stone are never considered by it.
Xie Dongli was well aware of this disposition, so he set the measures and goals of the Tianzheng Empire.
Since it despises humans, he wants to show it what humans can do.
In fact, the ancestral god also remembers the punishment and does not remember the beating.
The people who defeated it at the beginning were Sheng Liuli and Xia Yun, two ordinary people.
Now it is the human who wants to send it to death completely, and it has repeatedly despised it as an ant.
The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
Xie Dongli wore a hat, stood in front of the window of the inn, watching more and more people gathered on the street, and the Jinyi guards who used to come out to patrol the street at night did not dare to come out, so they hurriedly went to Xia Fan's mansion to find him to report the news.
"Lord Xia Duan! Lord Summer! Beggars and homeless people are making trouble outside! ”
Xia Fan gathered the mink fur on his body and said disapprerovingly: "A few beggars with mud legs can make you scared like this, and it's useless." ”
"Huh? Won't you send a few more people to disperse them? ”
"No need." Xia Fan carried a small wine jug and casually glanced at the snow scene outside the window, "What can they do with such a big snow?" Let's wait one night, and we'll talk about it tomorrow. As he spoke, he waved his hand at the man, "Let's go, let's go, you can go back too." It's cold, don't look outside, go home and drink a sip of wine, eat two mouthfuls of food, and sleep well with your wife and children in your arms. I'll talk about it tomorrow. ”
In this kind of weather, Xia Fan really didn't think that those beggars and homeless people could do anything big.
The snow is so heavy and the weather is so cold, tomorrow will probably be very busy......
After Xia Fan finished eating, he felt a little dizzy, staggered into the bedroom, and fell asleep.
The Overseer had an order to leave them alone, so the brocade guards looked at the beggars and homeless people coldly, and remembered that one or two of the leaders had scattered themselves.
Seeing that the brocade guards had withdrawn, more and more people gathered on the street.
At first it looked like they were huddling together to keep warm, but when the time passed, it was different.
A man in gray jumped on the high fence of a house and shouted to the shivering crowd on the street: "Do you want to live?" ”
"Yes!" There are many applicants below.
"Do you want to be well fed and warmly dressed?!"
"Yes!"
"Are you willing to be slaughtered like animals?"
"I don't want to!"
A few slogans aroused the confidence of those who had nothing and were about to die of cold and starvation.
As long as there is no disappointment, there is hope.
"Come with me! I'll take you to find something to eat! Looking for something to wear! Live a good life! No one will be able to kill you casually in the future! ”
The gray-clothed man jumped down from the high wall, holding a glittering Yanling knife in his hand at some point, "Go!" Those who don't want to die come with me! ”
The beggars and outcasts looked at each other.
They have nothing to lose.
There is no home, no relatives, and even I am about to starve to death and freeze to death.
Even if they survive tonight, and Jinyiwei comes over tomorrow to settle the account, they will not end well.
Thinking of this, most of them had a heart, and said in unison: "Let's follow!" ”
The mighty crowd followed the gray-clothed man in the direction of the palace.
People are constantly joining their ranks, giving them weapons such as swords, guns, swords, and halberds.
Xie Dongli led hundreds of elite divisions to open the way in front, sweeping away the remaining forbidden troops and secret guards in the capital all the way, just to open the gate of the palace for the people behind.
Sou!
Feathered arrows flew out of sight.
The guards at the gate of the palace rolled their eyes, and a bright feather arrow had been stuck in their necks, and they fell down holding their necks.
Scold!
In the light of the sword, the secret guard hiding in the shadows was cut off without saying a word, fell from the branch covered with heavy snow, and smashed into the snow with a thud, smashing out a thick human shape.
Soon, the snow was stained red with blood, and the light of the knife turned dark red.
The people in the Northern Qi Palace also ran almost as well.
Queens, concubines, princes, princesses, palace maids, eunuchs, as well as guards and forbidden soldiers, all who could run ran away.
Of course, those who can't run stay.
It's just that there are too few people left to afford the guards of the entire palace.
Today's Emperor of Northern Qi is already like a puppet, a walking corpse who completely obeys Xia Fan's command.
He was ignorant of his own situation, and every day he obeyed Xia Fan's orders and issued various holy decrees that no one obeyed.
The entire country has been completely destroyed in the hands of the ancestral god and Xia Fan.
It can be said that if it is really a war with other countries, even if it is invaded, the Northern Qi will not be ruined like this.
Only in this way can they rot themselves from the inside out that is the most effective way to destroy a big country, and it is also the most worry-free and effort-saving way.
What the country fears most is that the people's hearts will be lost.
Without the will of the people, there will be no backbone of the country.
The royal family and dignitaries alone cannot save the fate of the country.
Xie Dongli knew the power of the people, so he firmly grasped the opportunity.
He led hundreds of people through the walls of the Northern Qi Imperial Palace, masked, wearing a pitch-black hat, wearing black night clothes, and a long knife in his hand, like a god of death harvesting life.
In less than a meal, they had already cleaned up the inside and outside of the Northern Qi Palace.
The gate of the imperial city opened, and the voices of people not far away gradually boiled.
Those who were unwilling to freeze to death and starve to death, unwilling to be innocently slaughtered, bravely walked to the imperial city.
"My lord, the people over there are coming." Xie Donglian's subordinates quietly gestured to him.
Xie Dongli nodded, "Withdraw." ”
Their figures shook against the palace walls, then jumped down and hid behind the snowdrifts.
The gate of the palace in front of him opened, and the gray-clothed man in the lead said impassionedly: "This is it!" The emperor is here! Brothers! We rush in! Kill the emperor Lao'er and avenge your family! ”
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
A group of people with no way out rushed in with large knives.
The secret guards and forbidden troops in the palace were almost swept away by Xie Dongli and them, and a few guards were still left by Xie Dongli and them to sacrifice knives to these rebels.
Sure enough, the sword flashed, and after killing a few officers and soldiers, these rebels became even more excited, and rushed into the palace with big knives.
The gray-clothed man took the lead and led them straight to the Northern Qi Emperor's bedroom.
A few eunuchs who were guarding outside the dormitory watched a large group of people rush in in a hurry, and they were so frightened that they turned around and fled.
Unfortunately, he didn't run a few steps before he was slashed by those people who chased him from behind.
Everyone rushed into the palace of the Northern Qi Emperor.
"This is the emperor! Look how many bad things he's done! forced our family to fight as soldiers, and robbed our family of food! Our family died in battle, starved to death, you are so incompetent, and you are a fart emperor! As he spoke, his eyes were red, tears streaming down his face, and he swept forward with his broadsword.
The head of the Emperor of Northern Qi was cut off by him like a leek.
The Emperor's headless corpse fell off the bed with a thud and landed on the footrest.
The crowd was silent for a moment.
Someone muttered, "...... Big brother, you killed the emperor......"
"Kill the Emperor!"
"Killing the monarch is going to punish the nine clans!"
The man in gray didn't expect to kill the emperor so easily, he was only stunned for a moment, then immediately puffed up his chest and said loudly: "He should die!" We didn't rush in to reason with him! If he had been reasonable, he wouldn't have done those angry things! Brothers! We've reversed! ”
"It's the other way around!"
"It's the other way around!"
"It's the other way around!"
“…… Brothers, I heard that this emperor doesn't really care about things, and the top one is Xia Fan, the overseer of the Jinyi Guard! Shall we go and raid the lair of the Overseer of the Brocade Guard! He killed so many of our brothers, do you just watch him kill?! ”
"Copy the Brocade Guard's Lord's Mansion!"
"Copy the Brocade Guard's Lord's Mansion!"
"Copy the Brocade Guard's Lord's Mansion!"
So the beggars and homeless people who had just slaughtered the emperor rushed to Xia Fan's Jinyi Guard's Mansion with weapons.
Xia Fan was woken up in his sleep by Xia Yingjia in a hurry.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What are you crazy about in the middle of the night?! Xia Fan's stomach was on fire, and he couldn't wait to slap it over.
Xia Yingjia said in a panic: "Grandfather! Something is wrong! ”
"It's your mother's big deal! What's the big deal?! Xia Fan pushed him away and glared at him, "It's better if there is really a big deal!" Otherwise, you will be rewarded with fifty boards! You are my own grandson, and I can't spare you! ”
"Grandfather! Your Majesty was rushed to the palace by those outcasts and beggars outside and killed! Now they're rushing towards the Overlord's Mansion again! - Grandfather, let's run away! They've already killed a lot of brocade guards! Xia Yingjia's voice trembled.
Although he has fled with Xia Fan for so many years, he has really never seen such a battle.
Those beggars and homeless people were red-eyed at the gate of the governor's mansion, and they fought against the Jinyi guards desperately, although they killed many Jinyi guards, but they also killed and injured many people.
But for these beggars and outcasts, killing one is enough, and killing two is earning, so they are completely unafraid of death.
"What?! Your Majesty has killed you! Xia Fan jumped up in shock, put on his clothes in a panic, put on his mink fur, took out his bow and arrows, took out his waist knife, and said viciously: "This group of anti-thieves, I really don't want to live!" Walk! ”
He rushed out with Xia Yingjia's momentum, planning to personally kill a few anti-thieves and kill chickens and monkeys.
But before he rushed out of the second gate, he heard the earth-shattering shouts and shouts from far and near, as if he was about to reach the door of the second gate.
Xia Fan's heart moved, jumped on the courtyard wall of the second gate, and saw countless people holding big knives and attacking his governor's mansion from all directions!
In addition to the beggars and homeless people in front, there are also many ordinary people, and even officials in the court!
They had the ambition to hold weapons together, their faces full of anger and murderous energy, and rushed into the mansion of the Jinyi Guard, not only raiding his home, but also his life!
This momentum is much tougher than Xia Fan's.
Xia Fan was taken aback.
Is this an offense to public outrage?
Not only did the beggars and exiles hate him, but the common people hated him, and even his colleagues in the court wanted to kill him!
In the face of this public anger, Xia Fan knew that he had no way to fight against them.
Thinking that the Emperor of Northern Qi was dead, he could no longer coerce the Son of Heaven to order his ministers.
If you continue to stay here, the end will be a dead word.
Xia Fan sighed and took Xia Yingjia's arm with one hand, "Let's go." I can't stay here. ”
The two jumped off the courtyard wall, and a few rabbits fell and fled outside the governor's mansion.
Xie Dongli sent people to follow them from afar to see if they would take them to the ancestral god's lair.
