At this time, on the high walls of the houses overlooking the street, on the abrupt terraces, many rioters wrapped clay pots and glass bottles filled with fire oil with linen, and then lit them one by one, the flames whirred, and then their arms flicked, and immediately dozens of such "Constantinople pomegranate wine" were thrown out and smashed into the chariot of the first hand in a terrible cry of "be careful".

With the sound of shattering, the flames spread along the armor of countless people, and the worst thing was that the chariot suddenly turned into a burning cauldron, and many soldiers and rebels scuffled together with fire until they never moved again.

The brigade soldiers who burst into the arcade, their faces under their hats and helmets illuminated by the red firelight, they were stunned, turned sideways to watch the scene, and then the remaining little sympathy was also annihilated like flying ashes, "Kill the rats hiding upstairs!" ”

"Drag the fire bear cannon!"

Half an hour later, the fire bear cannon was in a murderous spirit, and on the trolley with four solid wooden wheels, it rumbled to the intersection of Metz Street, the burned chariot had been towed away, and the other three formed a makeshift artillery barrier in front of the fire bear cannon.

The muzzle of the Fire Bear Cannon did not need to be aimed at all, and it shone directly at the barricades of the rioters who lived only 120 feet away.

Behind this barricade, on one side is the Cathedral of the Saints of Wisdom, and on the other side is the Grand Palace.

By this time the Red Hands had cleared out the rioters who were hiding in the buildings on the side of the street, throwing their severed heads under them, and watching as the gunners below controlled the fiery cannons.

The arcades on both sides of the entire Avenue de Metz suddenly staggered continuously, and the stragglers felt the floor slabs under their feet bounce a few times at that moment.

Even St. John's Cathedral and Brachna Palace can be heard clearly.

Even farther away, in the monastery of the Savior of Pantepoptus, Daracena, the mother of Alexios, who was sitting quietly, felt that the chair was about to be untied, and the mosaics on the walls were constantly shaking off, and she raised her head and folded her palms sadly, "My son, the capital has been poisoned by barbarians......

The cannon ** made its debut hurricane, passing through the muzzle of the cannon to the distance of one hundred and twenty feet at the barricade, and then the center of the barricade was like a bright blooming flower, and all kinds of fragments were scattered.

Flames burst into the huge gap in the barricades, and ominous and terrible sparks continued to fall in the sky, and the sky above the Grand Palace was full of red, and everything looked like an apocalyptic scene.

Seeing this, the rioters in the cathedral and the Grand Palace screamed and continued to retreat, like a colony of ants in a flooded cave, but where was there a way back?

Soon after the flames subsided, rows of samurai covered with black cloaks and silver-like armor, all armed with hands and feet, armed with a forest of halberds, axes, sickles, swords, and double-slashing swords, stood there like iron walls, and the front row was all covered with bronze masquerade, and the cold and murderous aura overflowed. Several attendant nobles wearing blue cloaks and hanging medals drew their swords and slashed down, "Your Majesty's order, show no mercy, kill this group of thugs who trample on order and law!" ”

With a bang, this group of warriors rushed forward in unison, and with their heavy armor, they fell when they hit people, and killed anyone they could......

In the racecourse, the red-handed soldiers of three detachments broke through the main gate, and the red-handed soldiers of one detachment entered through the back door.

In the evening, two detachments of the Defender Brigade made a detour to block the exit of the stadium, and the more than 3,000 rebels who had fled here could no longer escape.

The last 300 Janissaries to attack were arrayed at the wooden fence on the west side of the flat stadium, and then one flag team marched forward in a chain with another flag team, advancing and slashing like iron plows, back and forth, until all the rebels who had no decent weapons at all were killed, and they were trampled under the iron hooves—many dead bodies were washed down the canals of the stadium into the ocean beyond the sea wall, and the tuna and other fish caught in the Bosphorus that year were very fat.

Four other detachments of the defenders also stormed the Great Almshouse of St. Paul, which had been built by the Orthodox Church of Constantinople and was their stronghold, and which contained thousands of disciples and diners. Therefore, in the beginning, Gawain's order was to "eradicate them all".

The most memorable thing for the Defender Brigade shooters is that when they stormed the "Disabled Relief Center" in the Great Almshouse, a mysterious figure in an improvised wheelchair suddenly roared out of the arch of the room.

Several of the shooters had their helmets crooked, and some were wounded.

Finally, the platoon fired a round, and the wheelchair soldier was immediately shot, rolled on his side into the small cistern in front of the door, and never managed to climb out again, drowning heroically.

The Great Almshouse was also destroyed and razed that night, and all 3,000 diners were killed.

The next day's "war" was not over, Gawain ordered a search of the churches and monasteries in the capital, and found that there were dozens or even hundreds of pounds of gold hidden everywhere, not to mention the gold plates and silver cups minted in them, which shows that even after the previous emperor Alexios established the "secular patron" system, the Orthodox Church still amassed and retained terrifying wealth, "No, this is only a small part of it, most of it should have been transferred to the holy mountain by Maastas." Gawain still didn't give up.

In addition, many first-hand precious documents were sent to St. John's Cathedral, and Gawain set up a special team to find the "crimes" of the Orthodox Church, and even to find the "weapons" to deal with Rome and Tuscany in the future.

Gawain immediately announced that the rebellion in the capital was behind the instigation of the Church.

The liaison officer of the Cathedral of the Father-in-the-Spirit, Lidus, was arrested, and he angrily demanded a public trial, since the original court was controlled by clergy.

Gawain also fulfilled Lidus's wishes, and he put the "Holy Court Chancellor" Giovanni in charge of the trial, and a jury of twelve figures from the "circuit courts" and "local high courts" from Anatolia, Cilicia, and Lydia arrived - three days later, Lidus was convicted of all the crimes in the event that the protests were ineffective, the keys to the Cathedral of the Holy Wisdom were forced to be handed over, the property of the entire capital church organization was confiscated, and he and all the leaders of the capital Orthodox church were exiled.

Seemingly overnight, Constantinople became a city without a church organization. It is now under the control of the army and the bureaucracy.

Gawain claimed that he would then gather all the religious figures in the empire to Adrianople for a "national assembly of believers" to discuss religious policy thereafter.

10,000 craftsmen who had been in the army were also gathered in the capital, and they were to renovate the ruins of the Grand Palace up to the Great Almshouse, and build a "Grand Palace Castle" and a new palace here for all the high-ranking bureaucrats and generals to settle.

That is to say, Gawain and Anna abandoned the palace from the moment they became the new owners of the Brachna Palace.

They want to renew the palace, and they also want to renew the weather.
