Chapter 1118: The Decline of an Era

The officers and soldiers in Nanjing City and the Jinyi Guards began to purge Tang Wang's subordinates, except for a few fires, in general, there were no major riots in Nanjing City.

This is mainly due to the fact that Tianfu sent a large number of officials, and Gao Yigong assigned a part of the men and horses to maintain order, plus the rich and noble people who mainly live in the inner city of Nanjing, and the gangsters and scoundrels are mainly in Guocheng, so the law and order in Nanjing is still stable.

Of course, the fire within the army affected the public order in the city to some extent, and many non-commissioned officers and officers of the pro-Tang faction who were killed and scattered or escaped fled into civilian houses, and the officers and soldiers and Jinyi guards pursued them, and it was inevitable that they would be killed by mistake or mistakenly.

However, there were officers and soldiers and Jinyi guards to control, and the officials of Ying Tianfu patrolled the streets, but there was no big chaos.

Tongji Gate, the chaos in the city continues.

Baihu Han is often the gate official of Tongji Gate, but there are more than 300 troops stationed here, and the other two Baihu are stationed with him, and there are nearly 1,000 people patrolling the city walls or streets nearby, and they can rush to support at any time.

The other two hundred households, one named Zhao Tingqian and the other named Zhou Rong, are all martial arts students who graduated from martial arts, Xu is feeling that the overall situation has been decided, Zhao Zhou and the two are in a very good mood, and they are talking about it in the city.

The king of Chu is a martial arts student, and the martial arts students are all his protégés, and the two are absolute Chu factions, and they are also deeply poisoned by Wang Yan ideologically.

The two said, Tang and Lu feuds restrained His Royal Highness the King of Chu, so that the power of the court could not be concentrated, this time the two kings did their own evil, and actually wanted to rebel, and now they were suppressed by the imperial court, and in the future, the imperial court will be able to train and prepare for war with no one to hinder His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and the King of Chu will be able to train and prepare for war with all his might, and restore the old rivers and mountains.

Wang Yan deliberately reduced the importance of the emperor when educating martial arts students and Tai students, but since ancient times, China has relied on the idea of loyalty to the monarch to unite people's hearts.

Now suddenly saying that you should not be loyal to the king will make people suddenly lose their faith, and people's hearts will not be able to cohesion, which will cause confusion and confusion in thinking.

How can such a large country, such a vast territory and many people be united, there must be a common imagination to exist, in order to keep the country not divided and chaotic, so Wang Yan put forward the concept of the Huanghuang Han Dynasty, and replaced the loyal monarch with loyalty to the Han Dynasty, so that the whole world has a common concept and unites the people of the world.

This is the transition from the old dynasty to the nation-state.

In this way, in the past, in addition to being a soldier and eating food, soldiers were loyal to the king personally, but now they are loyal to the Han people. The king is a body, but the panicked Han includes the soldiers themselves, they not only fight for the court, but also for themselves, so most of the martial arts students are very radical, and nationalism inevitably rises.

Zhou and Zhao looked very excited, and Han Chang also smiled and agreed, but they were always a little absent-minded.

Just now, in the restaurant opposite the city tower, suddenly a ray of sunlight reflected by a mirror hit his face, which attracted his attention, and then there was a flash of three long and two, he knew that this was Tang Wang contacting him.

At this time, the king of Tang sent someone to contact him, and he made three long and two short flashes, as long as he contacted the current situation in the city, he roughly judged that the king of Tang was going to leave the city from him.

But he looked left and right, and the more than 300 soldiers at the city gate couldn't help but twitch in his heart, only a hundred of them were his subordinates, and he may not be able to command all of them, after all, most of his subordinates didn't know that he was the king of Tang's people.

If there was no martial law in the city, and the officers and soldiers did not strengthen the defense and attention to the interior, he still had a way to send Tang Wang out of the city personally, but now, in addition to the two hundred people of Zhou and Zhao, there were patrolling officers and soldiers everywhere nearby, and they could rush to support at any time, even if Tang Wang brought a thousand Japanese troops, he might not be able to break through the city gate.

The city gate is not a door, it can be kicked open with one foot, like the city gate of Nanjing, it is wrapped in iron sheets, more than two feet thick, tens of thousands of pounds, a person can't open it at all, and a group of people want to push, and even if the city gate is opened, there is a drawbridge, it has to be done with a winch, and it is not half a pillar of incense to open it, and such a long time is enough for nearby officers and soldiers to come.

Han Chang's only hope was to kill Zhao and Zhou first, and before the soldiers could react, they would fall Tang Wang and the others into the city.

It's just that as soon as he makes a move, the city gate will be out of control, and he will inevitably face off with the subordinates of Zhao and Zhou, and His Royal Highness the King of Tang will also be in danger, but after all, the King of Tang is a prince, and the soldiers have no clear instructions, so he should not dare to make a move against the King of Tang, he can only hope for this······

Han Chang's thoughts turned sharply, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Tang Wang's Mansion, as the officers and soldiers met with the Japanese army, Gao Yigong had to transfer men and horses to storm Tang Wang's Mansion.

A thousand-person team of martial artists, holding a self-made fire gun, squatted in front of the door of the mansion, many people with ladders, climbed to the courtyard wall, put guns inside, Tang Wangfu was beaten to pieces by guns.

A famous Japanese soldier was beaten and trembled and took a few steps back, and then fell back heavily.

The two soldiers, holding the blood-dripping war knife in one hand and the Zhu Qiyuan who had been shot in the leg in the other, retreated into the hall, wanting to retreat to the backyard of the palace.

The surrounding soldiers who were holding the Japanese army were also rushing into the hall in the dense rain of bullets, and people were constantly knocked to the ground by the projectiles.

Zhu Qiyuan was set up a few steps back, a projectile drew a straight line, piercing the shoulder of one of the soldiers who was holding him, followed by a direct hit to the head, the soldier immediately fell to the ground and died, a small flag in the distance, saw it and wanted to come over to help him, only ran a few steps, his body was beaten upside down and flew out, leaving the soldier, who could only put his hands under his armpits, and struggled to drag him in.

With a "boom" sound, the door of the mansion was smashed open by the brocade guards with logs, and countless officers and soldiers rushed into the Tang Wang's Mansion with weapons in their hands, killing people when they saw them, whether they were holding the Japanese army or the palace maids and eunuchs, they were all left behind.

They are doing this against the clan, and they must cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise if the clan turns over one day, they will inevitably find them to liquidate.

Gao Yigong hinted to Liu Tiren that there were no chickens and dogs left in the Tang Wangfu, even if it was the Tang King, it was best to let him die in the chaos.

The Shun family forced Emperor Chongzhen to death, this has always been a knot in the hearts of the Shun generals, and they are more worried about the liquidation of the clan than Wang Yan, so they are happy to force another Tang King to death, so that the clan cannot turn over.

After all, the Japanese army is an amateur army, where is the opponent of the officers and soldiers who have been on the battlefield, as Gao Yigong sent troops to reinforce, the officers and soldiers quickly broke through the Tang Wang's mansion.

Nearly 1,000 Japanese troops, under the strangulation of Jinyi guards and officers and soldiers, soon killed and wounded, and the atmosphere of despair and grief spread in the palace.

A hundred households who supported the Japanese army were forced into the corner by the brocade guards, the spear was stabbed into the abdomen, his body bowed, his mouth was foaming with blood, and he made a faint sound of hatred, "Emperor Taizu is in the spirit of the sky, and he will not let go of you traitors..."

For the Japanese army, these people are all thieves, they are all rebellious, they are resentful, they hate these people for not being loyal, they hate the collapse of etiquette and music, and they hate these people for committing rebellion.

Soon, Zhu Qiyuan and the last dozen or so Japanese soldiers were forced to the study of the Tang King, and countless sharp spears were pressed towards them, they had fallen into a desperate situation, and there was no possibility of survival.

These Japanese soldiers with blood on their faces, each of them is a descendant of the Zhu family, they were originally nobles, but now they are going to die tragically under the blade, and they are all sad and sad in their hearts, but many people are angry and resolute.

From their standpoint, they are the right path, and everyone is sad when they are in a desperate situation.

"Taizu! Look at the world! ”

Zhu Qiyuan saw nearly a thousand Japanese soldiers, all of whom were killed, and he was sad and hateful in his heart, how could he allow them to be slaughtered.

The three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, why is the clan here?

After Liu Tiren got the hint, he asked the officers and soldiers not to leave them alive, even those who knelt on the ground and asked for surrender were killed together, and the corpses in the Tang Wang's mansion were piled up like a mountain, the pond was full of corpses, and the pond water was scarlet.

The spear shining with cold light circled in front of them, leaning against the Zhu Qiyuan by the wall, and seeing the cold light and shining spear heads and the hideous faces of officers and soldiers, they knew that there was no chance.

He is not a hero or a famous general, but the descendants of the Zhu family have to die with dignity.

Suddenly, he put the knife to his neck and roared angrily, "Heaven punish the king thief!" Your Highness is waiting for me to take revenge! After roaring, he pulled hard, blood splattered, and his whole body slowly fell to the ground, splashing a cloud of yellow dust.

"General!" The soldiers around him cried out in pain.

With the sacrifice of the Japanese army, in exchange for the escape of the Tang King, leaving a glimmer of hope for the killing of the traitor Wang Yan, and preserving a glimmer of hope for the clan, Zhu Qiyuan is a chess piece in the great era, he is willing to die.

"Heavenly Punishment King Thief!"

"It's clear every day! The Imperial Family Lasts Forever! ”

The rest of the Japanese soldiers around him were also desperate, and several officers saw this, and greeted Wang Yan's family, and after scolding the traitors, they committed suicide with their knives, while the others sat on the ground, crying in despair.

Liu Tiren has no mercy, the political struggle is so cruel, if they fail, it will also be so miserable, killing one person is killing, killing a thousand people is also killing, so it is better to kill cleanly, so as not to leave hidden dangers for yourself.

"Kill!" At that moment, as soon as Liu Tiren waved his hand, the officers and soldiers swarmed forward with spears, stabbing all the remaining Japanese troops into honeycombs.

The spear was inserted into the bodies of these people, and then it was pulled out and stabbed again, blood and screams mixed together, beating an elegy for the decline of the Zhu family.

The officers and soldiers stabbed for a while, and when there was no wailing completely, they slowly retreated expressionlessly, the anger on their bodies subsided, and their hearts gradually became a little panicked.

At this time, Liu Tiren pulled out his knife "poof", walked quickly to the door of the study, kicked it open, and the soldiers rushed away with him, but there was no one inside.

Exiting from the study, several soldiers came one after another to report, and Tang Wang was not found elsewhere.

Liu Tiren's face sank when he heard this, "Give me all the chase, the doors have long been closed, and they can't run!" ”
