Chapter 521: Kill Him
The drums of the second hour sounded, and it was already April 18th. The documents on the www.biquge.info case were finally more than half approved, Zhao Yu put down the pen and rubbed his eyes, stood up and stretched, these documents were still sent after screening by the Military Aircraft Department, and they were more about the rebellious family property confiscated in Quanzhou and the proposed sentence. According to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, those sentenced to death must be tried by Dali Temple and submitted to the emperor for approval before they can be executed. But now in wartime, he demanded that it be dealt with by military law, and that Wen Tianxiang, Gao Yingsong, and Cai Wanyi be tried, and the results should be reported to the Military Aircraft Department, and that they should be killed or detained for immediate execution after being reviewed by the imperial pen.
Zhao Yu's pen was red, and nearly 1,000 people were executed at dawn, most of these people were the generals and soldiers of the left-wing army who participated in the bloody night of Quanzhou, as well as the generals and private soldiers of Pufu, although they did not die in battle, but they also dodged a knife, and the blood debt must be repaid with blood after all. And their close relatives and family members within the three uniforms were all sent to Qiongzhou to serve hard labor or become official slaves. Of course, this does not conform to the principle of the modern legal system of 'one person does things and one person is responsible', but in ancient times, it was definitely lenient, and the crime of rebellion was the head of the most heinous crimes, and the nine clans were to be executed.
This night is not only Zhao Hao, but it is destined to be a sleepless night for the whole army. Although there have been several battles outside the city now, the scale is not large, and it is more like a threat and a tentative attack. He knew that Pu Shougeng would not be sad when he died, but would feel happy and relaxed, after all, he controlled most of China's overseas trade and was deeply valued by Kublai Khan, so it would be more embarrassing for him to be the first official, not only to use and guard, but also to look at Pu Shougeng's face and act sometimes, and suffer some wretchedness, and no one could challenge his authority once he died. In addition, hundreds of slaves are still in the hands of the Southern Army, and they will inevitably throw rat traps, fearing that they will be harmed by the Southerners.
But Zhao Yu knew that the instigation could slow down the attack, and the news of the fall of Quanzhou and the death of Pu Shougeng that he did not dare to conceal would be furious when it reached the ears of Kublai Khan, the capital. This matter is not only a matter of smashing its money jar, but also disgraced it, especially when Kublai Khan had already announced that the Southern Dynasty had fallen and the emperor had surrendered, a new emperor had emerged, not to mention, and Quanzhou was also occupied, and it would not take a few days for maritime merchants from all over the world to come to pay tribute to do business, but they found that the owner had changed, so Kublai Khan's lining and face had fallen to the surface of his feet!
Now that seven days have passed since the capture of Quanzhou, Zhao Yu understands that with the efficiency of the post transmission system established by the Yuan court, Kublai Khan's strict order to recover Quanzhou and exterminate himself is afraid that it has crossed the Yangtze River and will soon reach Quanzhou, and the instigation of the capital will also launch a general attack. Now taking advantage of this rare gap, the spoils of war must be sent out of the city quickly, so he ordered to use the method of loading the ship while cleaning, and at the moment Pufuzhong is also moving with cars, and then they have to use their boat to send it back to Qiongzhou. Zhao Hao felt that Pu Shougeng would have to be angry if he was alive, but he didn't know if Shi Si could bear it if he knew?
Because the secret passage in the Pufu has not yet been figured out, and the emperor refuses to go, in order to ensure his safety. Everyone let His Majesty move to the second floor of the central hall, and even if the assassin could sneak in through the secret passage, it would be difficult for him to get close to His Majesty; In both cases, the assassins came from above, and they had to go down to the third floor first, and they still couldn't get close. At this time, not only are there sentry posts at each entrance, but also guards are on duty on the first and third floors of the central hall, archers are also arranged on the roof, and there are guards on the second floor who are strictly guarded, and there are no dead ends in all directions.
"Your Majesty, don't go near the window!"
"It's so stuffy!" It's midsummer, and it's close to the sea, so it's hot. Although it was cooler at night, for his own safety, Zhao Yu was placed in a room with only one window, and in order to prevent the assassins from attacking with bows and crossbows through the shadow on the window, all doors and windows were hung with thick curtains, so that people could not peep inside. And Zhao Haore was uncomfortable, and walked to the window to open a crack to breathe, but was stopped by Ni Liang, who was following him.
"Your Majesty, bear with me, or we'll go back to the ship!" Ni Liang said expressionlessly.
"Aren't you hot?" The two solutions given by Ni Liang, Zhao Yu couldn't accept any of them, and he said to Ni Liang who was still wearing armor with a smile on his face.
"Hot, but Mr. said, you can't open the window when it's hot, so as not to be taken by assassins!" Ni Liang replied honestly, but the result was still no.
"Alas, I really can't help you!" Zhao Hao sighed, knowing that it was useless to say more, and he would abide by it if he was strict now, he took off the silk robe on his body angrily, sat down at the desk shirtless and continued to boil his eyes, fortunately, there were only Wang De and Ni Liang in the room, and it did not affect the view.
"It's all that Shi Si who has harmed Your Majesty, and if you catch him, you will definitely break him into thousands of pieces!" Wang De understood that he couldn't say that Ni Liang couldn't move, so he came over to wipe the sweat on His Majesty's forehead, and fanned himself again.
"Catch this kid, I will break every bone in his body with my own hands to relieve the hatred in my heart!" Zhao Yu also took over the conversation.
"Your Majesty hates him too? Then the little ones will go together to break his hands and feet, and also relieve his hatred! Wang De was stunned when he heard this, since he came to serve His Majesty, he had not heard him say such cruel words.
"This fight has killed my royal clan, and I am a foreign sect that I can't protect them thoroughly, I'm really ashamed, if I can't avenge them with my own hands, how can I stand in this heaven and earth!" Zhao Hao put a big killing word on the official document, hateful and authentic.
"I'll also help His Majesty beat him!" Ni Liang also said angrily on the side. He knew that even if His Majesty did not issue an edict to remove this nominal foreign sect after succeeding to the throne, he would not appoint another person, but he had always been hanging on to himself, and he wanted to keep this revenge on the matter of the murder of the clan.
"Okay, let's break his bones together." Zhao Yu looked at the two of them and said with a smile.
'When, when, ......when' The three of them were discussing how to break Shi Si's bones and make him miserable, but he couldn't die for a while, when suddenly an alarm bell rang outside.
"Your Majesty, the capital is unified, there is an enemy who infiltrated the mansion in disguise, and after being discovered, he killed the sentry and a scuffle. The number of enemies is unknown, and the purpose is unknown! Just as they were about to send someone to inquire, Zhang Sheng, the commander of the first team of the guard battalion, came in and said.
"Protect Your Majesty!" When Ni Liang heard it, he immediately pulled out his knife and shouted loudly beside the little emperor.
"Your Majesty, get out of the way!" Wang De looked around, except for a bed in this room, there was a bookcase and a soft couch, and the only place where people could hide was under the table, and he took His Majesty's hand and drilled down.
"Don't panic! Command all places to be on guard and defend on the spot, not to move, and to mobilize mobile forces to search, encircle and suppress, so as to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of them! "Such a shameful thing, how could Zhao Yu do it, he shook off Wang De's hand and ordered.
"Zhang Sheng, do as Your Majesty orders, you guard the doors and windows!" Ni Liang's brain was slow and he hadn't figured out what was going on, but he knew that His Majesty's brain was much better than his own, and he couldn't be wrong, so he asked Zhang Sheng to go and give the order, and let Fa Zheng, who arrived later, lead a group of guards to stay in the room to protect His Majesty.
"Obey!" Each of them received orders to go and arrange it immediately.
"Amitabha!"
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!" Ying Jieyan and Wen Tianxiang, who were also on duty in the middle hall, arrived one after another, and the fastest one came was Yuan Miao.
"Let's go, we can't stay here!" Zhao Yu was unhappy when he saw so many people pouring in, and frowned.
"Your Majesty......"
"Don't ask, hurry up!" Wen Tianxiang was very puzzled, so many people came to escort him, but the little emperor was leaving, but Zhao Hao didn't have time to explain to him, so he turned his head and went out first, and everyone could only protect them left and right and follow out.
This attack came suddenly, but Zhao Yu knew that his crow's mouth was right again, and Shi Si must have been unable to bear this humiliation, so he took the risk of assassinating himself. The most difficult part of this kind of thing is not to kill people, but to determine where the target is, and their previous arrangement can be said to be appropriate, even if the assassins know that the target is in this building, but they have no way to dispatch more men when the city is occupied and the streets are full of 'enemies', let alone kill all the guards, search one by one to kill themselves.
Therefore, after receiving the police, Zhao Hao will order all the people not to move, one is to prevent the enemy from sneaking into the building when the guards are moving and there are loopholes in the defense line; The other is that the guards' first reaction after receiving the alarm is to come to escort them, so they will also expose their location. If all the guards did not move, the enemy would have no chance to take advantage of it, and in addition to his own guard battalion, there were thousands of Chinese soldiers in this mansion, and they would soon complete the siege and find out the assassins one by one, and they would be safe and sound.
But now a group of people heard the alarm, and Hulala ran to escort them, but they didn't know that they were doing bad things with good intentions, and completely exposed their location, which not only threatened their own safety, but also put them in danger. Zhao Yu didn't believe that the assassins were fools, and they must have prepared long-range strikes in the shadows, attacking once they identified their targets. Who knows whether the bow and crossbow prepared by the assassin, or the rocket, or the missile brought by the traverser, so as not to kill everyone, so Zhao Yu asked everyone to evacuate quickly.
Sure enough, not long after Zhao Yu led everyone to hide in the opposite room, a series of crossbow rockets entered through the single window, but the shooter revealed his position as soon as he moved, and was shot by the archers of the guard battalion arranged everywhere, and the assassins who infiltrated were quickly eliminated. After some investigation, it was quickly found out that these assassins had attacked a group of sailors who had just entered the city after the curfew, and then changed into their military uniforms, and after learning the password, they disguised themselves as sailors carrying goods and infiltrated Pufu.
When the Assassins entered the palace and tried to approach the central hall, they were stopped by the sentinels on the perimeter of the Chinese army, who claimed to be from the guard battalion. In this way, the stuffing was leaked, because he was too poor back then, and he didn't even have a helmet, and the military uniforms designed by Zhao Yu for the Qiongzhou Army were basically the same from the outside, only some differences in the details, dividing the ranks by the color of the badge, and distinguishing the armies by the color of the turban. Later, although he became rich, the form of the military uniform did not change, and after the helmet was issued, the turban was changed to a scarf.
After the armies have been reorganized many times, although the names of the armies have changed, but the tradition has not changed, the turban of the navy army is still blue, the infantry army is red, the baggage army is black, and the escort army is yellow. And these assassins claimed to be from the guard battalion, but they wore blue scarves from the navy, so they naturally wore them. As a last resort, the assassins launched a strong attack from darkness to light, but they still ambushed the shadows before and prepared to take advantage of the chaos to complete the assassination mission, but they still fell short.
The situation is largely clear, but unfortunately the Assassins were not captured alive, and they committed suicide as soon as they felt that there was no hope of breaking out after being seriously injured or besieged, so it was not known who they were trying to kill, and certainly not how they contacted Shis, where they were hiding, and how many people there were.
"Fortunately, Your Majesty was shrewd and escaped this catastrophe!" After cleaning up the assassins and figuring out what happened, Wen Tianxiang said with trepidation, "But how did Your Majesty know that we had been exposed?" ”
"Hehe, because I'm afraid of death, I feel like I'm going to change places to be safe, and I'll hide from it." Zhao Hao said with a grin, he knew that if he explained it, it would inevitably embarrass them, so he laughed at himself.
"Although you are lucky to get out of danger, Your Majesty should transfer to the ship as soon as possible!" Ying Jie Yan said on the side.
"Don't worry, sir, not many people know about my entry into the city. The target of those assassins here was not me, but more out of revenge, so that people came to make trouble, assassinate a high-ranking official, and deter him. And this place is the most heavily fortified, and it is natural to think that the people who live here must be big officials, and I ran into it by mistake! Zhao Yu waved his hand and said.
"Even so, His Majesty can no longer be put in danger and must be transferred to the ship." Ying Jieyan nodded after listening, agreeing with His Majesty's analysis, but still insisted that he return to the ship.
"Your Majesty, what the governor says is very good. The city is still unstable, so it is better to get on the ship early to avoid any more accidents. Wen Tianxiang also persuaded.
"Hehe, I can't leave at this moment!" Zhao Hao smiled again, "If I leave at this moment, it may be that Shi Si is testing and officially wants to scare me away, and he happened to send assassins to attack him on the way; Second, if I leave at this moment, it shows that I am afraid, so wouldn't people look down on him, thinking that I can't kill him! ”
"And what does Your Majesty think?" Wen Tianxiang thought about what the little emperor said was not unreasonable, no matter what, there are many troops to protect it in this Pufu, which is much less risky than on the road, but it is not a matter to go on like this!
"Of course, dig out Shisi, kill him, and never suffer in the future!" Zhao Yu touched his chin and glared.
"Your Majesty already has a way?" Ni Liang perked up when he heard this, after all, his main task is to protect His Majesty, and if something happens, he will die without redemption.
"Hehe, I haven't thought about it yet, let's get some sleep!" Zhao Hao grimaced and smiled...... (To be continued.) )
