Chapter 407: Thunder
After Liu Jun received the order, he immediately sent his guards to the outside of the city to transfer Beiyang soldiers into the city to quell the chaos.
He personally sat on the arrow tower of Desheng Gate, "immediately issued an order, the whole city is under martial law, all shops are temporarily closed, the people are closed, and before the martial law is lifted, they are not allowed to go out on the street, and those who violate it will be severely punished." ”
The Imperial City of Miyagi has been taken over by Jinyiwei and Dongchang as soon as possible, and the guards of the first town have been disarmed.
As soon as martial law was ordered, the atmosphere in the capital division instantly became tense, and although the soldiers of the three towns of the Praetorian Guard Battalion in the east and west school fields in the city and the north school field outside the city had already begun to make trouble, they did not dare to make too much trouble, and smashing the shops was just a show.
The Mansion of the Princes and Princes of the Jingshi was surrounded by the captains of the Jinyi Guard for the first time.
Liu Qiao personally went out and invited all the lords in Beijing to go to the Jinyi Guard Yamen to drink tea, facing a group of Jinyi guards embroidered with spring knives and flying fish suits surrounding the house, and no one dared to resist these dukes and earls. No one expected that the imperial court's attitude would be so strong this time, and there was no intention of compromising at this time.
Outer city, Yongding Gate.
A team of brocade guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives slowly opened the Yongding Gate, and behind them, a battalion of guards at the original city gate stood honestly on the side.
Liu Yunzhen accompanied Liu Jian to stand on the city gate tower, and standing next to them was Lu Si, the head of the guards of the Yongding Gate.
"General Lu is loyal to His Majesty and has not participated in the rebellion, this official will tell the county king and His Majesty truthfully, and you will not be less successful in opening the city gate."
Lu Si's face was full of flattery, although he usually claimed to be the person of the county king, but in fact it was just because his sister was a maid of the county king's brother Liu Jian.
At this time, he was so excited that he didn't know how to speak.
Liu Yunzhen looked at Lu Si from the side, and scolded with a smile, "Don't thank you soon, when this incident is over, I will inevitably give you a position as the general manager." ”
"Thank you, sir, general, for the grace of promotion and appreciation. It is unforgettable, but in the future, it will be driven, and it will never give up. ”
Liu Jian just smiled and didn't speak, with their brother's current status, there are countless people who want to take refuge. In fact, it doesn't matter if Lu Si doesn't open the Yongding Gate today, although those Beijing troops are making trouble, they haven't thought about how to really do it, and they don't even really control the city gates.
The Beiyang soldiers could easily enter the city to quell the chaos.
However, people like Lu Si should still be commended.
The sound of hooves rumbled. The Beiyang soldiers have arrived.
After receiving the order, they immediately rushed from the Xishan and Lugouqiao camps, who had been in the camp for the past few days.
The Beiyang Army entered the city.
A group of Beiyang soldiers wore armor and held long guns, and their bayonets had been put on, and the bright bayonets were bright and dazzling. In front of each team of Beiyang soldiers, there were several officers on horseback, walking in the front, holding a large trumpet with an iron roll in their hands, repeatedly announcing the imperial court's martial law as they walked.
and shut all the shops, and the people shut up. Pedestrians on the street are not allowed to linger when they return home. Let all the soldiers return to the camp and make no trouble.
"There are those who dare to act in chaos with weapons and are obsessed. All are regarded as rebellions, and there is no forgiveness for killing! ”
A neat procession, bright armor, bayonets that shone with a cold light. The same neat and uniform pace, under the repeated proclamation of martial law, seems more and more solemn.
The streets that the Beiyang soldiers crossed along the way. Pedestrians avoided it, street shops closed their doors, and people closed their homes.
The so-called arrears are a very common thing in the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court often owes salaries, and arrears have become a common practice, and those who do not owe are abnormal.
In peacetime, soldiers are also accustomed to arrears, but sometimes they owe for a long time, and they will inevitably make trouble. Every time there is a trouble, the court has to find a way to transfer some money and food, even if it can't make up all the arrears, but it will pay some more. In this way, everyone is satisfied.
As long as it doesn't go too far, killing officials and robbing them, they will generally not be pursued too much.
Only when the matter is too big and out of control, such as when the Liao soldiers made a fuss, tied the governor to the city and whipped him, and finally made the governor commit suicide, which led to the court to strictly investigate afterwards.
The same is true of the Beijing army's troubles this time, instigated by people with intentions, in the name of asking for salaries, making a fuss in the name of asking for salaries, forcing the imperial court to meet their demands, and they are not afraid of the imperial court investigating afterwards, and the law does not blame the public.
But now, some officers in several large camps were stunned when they heard that the Beiyang Army had entered the city.
This time, just like an ordinary salary, the high-ranking officers all shrank back and did not come forward to take the lead. The people who really shouted outside to take the lead in making trouble were all leaders or even hundreds of generals.
Outside the East School Field, many officers and soldiers of the First Town were smashing the streets outside the school grounds, and although the officers above had already said that they should not go overboard, once the trouble broke out, many people still took the opportunity to smash it, and even many ruffians and hooligans who were not in Beijing also took advantage of the fire to be moved.
A group of nine-headed birds appeared, and an officer loudly announced the imperial order.
"Those who dare to rebel with weapons and are obsessed with it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed!"
Several soldiers who were smashing the door of a silk shop with knives turned their heads to look at it when they heard this, but continued to smash the door as if they were still ignoring it.
"Put down your weapons immediately, those who dare to resist will be regarded as a rebellion, and there will be no mercy!"
One of the soldiers turned his head and spat at the nine-headed bird, ignoring them at all.
The battalion commander led by the Beiyang soldiers snorted coldly, there are really people who are not afraid of death.
"Declare it three times, and those who refuse to disarm will be killed!"
"Yes!" The head of the sect shouted the order, and then shouted to the more than 600 Beiyang soldiers of the battalion behind, "Declare three times, those who refuse to disarm will be killed!" ”
"Those who dare to rebel with weapons and are obsessed with it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed!"
"Those who dare to rebel with weapons and are obsessed with it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed!"
"Those who dare to rebel with weapons and are obsessed with it will be regarded as a rebellion and will be killed!"
More than 600 people shouted three times, and the sound shook the clouds.
A few of the Beijing soldiers who smashed the door turned around, and a few of the younger ones had some uneasiness on their faces, but a burly Beijing army led by them sneered, "The Beiyang soldiers dare to do it? Phew, borrow a few of their guts, and don't dare. ”
After shouting three times, none of the Beijing soldiers gave up their weapons.
A sneer appeared on the battalion commander's face, looking for death.
He pulled out his handcuff and pointed to a few Jingjun Dao, "This official will give you one last chance, put down your weapons immediately, otherwise you will be killed on the spot!" ”
The burly Jingjun also felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, but at this time, how could he easily succumb, in his mind, the Beiyang soldiers would not dare to do it. He didn't kill an official, he didn't commit adultery, he just smashed the door of a shop, and he didn't smash the door and rob things.
He looked at the bright bayonets, and finally raised the knife, "Don't entangle with these southern barbarians, let's go." ”
A few Beijing soldiers gave up and continued to smash the shop door, and then wanted to leave.
"Bang!"
The battalion commander did not hesitate, raised his hand and fired a shot, and the handcuff hit the strong man's leg directly.
"Ahh With a scream, the burly man fell to the ground, he pressed the wound on his leg, blood was pouring out, his face showed a look of panic, he really didn't expect that the nine-headed bird would shoot when he said it.
"Disarm and surrender, spare your death, dare to be obsessed, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" The battalion commander raised his handcuff, blew a puff of gunsmoke, and said.
Bell, bell, bell.
A few waist knives were thrown on the ground, and several Beijing soldiers abandoned their weapons very well.
"Hold your head and sit down!"
Several Beijing soldiers stepped forward to give orders, and several Beijing soldiers obediently sat down with their heads in their hands. The battalion commander's shot made these people understand that the Beiyang soldiers were really here.
A few cowhide ropes tied up several Beijing soldiers, and the wounded Beijing army was a team leader, and the battalion medical officer took out lead bullets for him and simply stitched up the wound and bandaged it.
However, from beginning to end, the medical officer did not give him anesthetic, so he poured some alcohol to rinse the wound, and then stitched up the wound one by one, and deliberately made the action bigger, so that the burly team leader kept screaming.
"Okay, don't howl, it's not a shame for such a big strong man to cry for his father and mother after stitching up a small wound. What's the use of you if you're on the battlefield? The medical officer said to him with disdain, "You should thank our battalion commander, you killed you on the spot just now, and you also died in vain." ”
Sporadic gunfire began to ring out in the streets of the capital.
The Beiyang soldiers are real, and the generals realized in surprise.
When they watched their companions fall to the ground by the Beiyang soldiers' firearms, many of them chose to lay down their weapons, hold their heads in their hands, sit on the ground, and then let the Beiyang soldiers tie them up.
But there are also some arrogant people who watch their companions fall, but they become more and more crazy.
"Fight with them, kill them."
A Beijing soldier held a waist knife and rushed towards the Beiyang soldiers, and his momentum was very wild. Unfortunately, he was greeted by a lead. To deal with this kind of person, it is not uncommon for the Beiyang Army to come and shoot randomly, and there is no need to waste bullets.
The company commanders and captains tried their best to let those recruits shoot, let them see blood, and let them strengthen their courage. This is not a battlefield, facing the soldiers in front of you, even if it is a new recruit from Beiyang, you can shoot the other party calmly and accurately.
Bang!
The arrogant man fell to the ground, the Beiyang recruit was still a little nervous, he was aiming at this guy's shoulder, but a shot was in the chest, and this unlucky guy was killed directly.
The platoon commander glared at his subordinates dissatisfied, it was too embarrassing. When they came, there was an order from above, if they could, they should not kill as much as possible, and if they encountered some recalcitrant people, they should be injured. It is a waste to kill these arrogant guys, and it is also good to send them to Taiwan for reclamation and mining.
30,000 Beiyang troops entered the city to quell the chaos, divided into standard battalions, cleared the streets and alleys of the city, and finally gathered in the three major school fields in the capital, and surrounded the soldiers and horses of the three towns of the Praetorian Guard who retreated inside.
After the Beiyang Army reaffirmed the imperial order, the Beijing troops in the three major campuses did not last long.
From the three towns of the Praetorian Guard Camp to kidnap the officials of the military department to make a fuss, to the time they opened the gate of the school camp and surrendered, it was only half a day.
The sunset in the west is beautiful, and the military rebellion has been under the thunderous attack of the Beiyang soldiers, and the ice has disintegrated! (To be continued.) )
