31 The total private gang is emerging
When the news reached the palace, Prime Minister Li Guozhong was counting the gold, silver and jewelry of the Guo family in Chang'an.
Most of the palace courtyard is Jiulong Lake, and in the middle of the lake is of course the Imperial Palace, and around the Imperial Palace is a circle of small islands, which are auxiliary buildings, which are connected to the Imperial Palace by a covered bridge.
The raid of the Guo family in Chang'an went smoothly, and the loot filled the open space of the covered bridge. There are gold ingots, silver ingots, mink silk, Tibetan beeswax, jade jewelry, crystal utensils, ivory supplies, coral clocks, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., in addition to a lot of title deeds, boxes of paper gold dollars.
Prime Minister Li Guozhong said to Emperor Zhu Honghua: "Your Majesty, this person's worth is actually higher than the annual tax of the Ming Dynasty!" You see that the title deed alone is hundreds of thousands of acres, and the house deed has hundreds of yards! ”
The emperor said, "Well copied." There should be a few more copies! ”
At this moment, the royal herald rushed over.
The emperor asked, "How much did the Li clan in northern Shaanxi copy?" ”
The royal herald stammered, "The royal ...... The Royal Army suffered heavy losses, the leader Wang Huarong was killed, and now the Imperial Army was leaderless and surrounded in northern Shaanxi. ”
The ministers are all admiring those treasures who have robbed the house, and some people secretly stuff things into their pockets while they are not paying attention. When they heard this, they were all shocked.
Prime Minister Li Guozhong grabbed him by the neck and asked, "What?" A million royal armies can't capture the small city of northern Shaanxi? There are only a million in that city, and you can't beat one by one? ”
The royal herald said, "There are still people outside the city!" As soon as the imperial army entered the city, reinforcements arrived from outside the city. Among them, there are about 300,000 Guo's army in Chang'an, and about 200,000 in Li's army in northern Shaanxi, and there are a large number of private gangs. ”
Li Guozhong slapped his thigh: "Rebellion!" Rebellion! Actually colluding with the private gang, it is really a rebellion! I'm really underestimating them, it looks like the main force is going to be sent! ”

A large number of royal armies gathered in Chang'an City, and from the palace, the entire Chang'an City was covered with black heads.
Dressed in beautiful yellow-green uniforms, soldiers armed with spears or sabers, and officers riding military horses with pistols, they set out in a column towards Chang'an and headed north.
However, as soon as they left Chang'an City, they were scattered. The roads were all dug up, and the fields were full of traps, and in the traps were dung and bamboo thorns; There are archers in every tree and every house; Every water source is poisoned.
The Royal Army ran back to Chang'an City, and they trampled to death far more than the rebels killed.
The Royal Army has always been a waste, and the difference between this group of Royal Army and the previous Royal Army is that they are even more waste. In the past, the army could not fight, and the bandits were still making peace. Now these people can't even beat the private gang with bamboo poles and kitchen knives.
The Guo family's army, the Li family's army, and the private army appeared in the north of Chang'an City. They looked at the neat high-rise buildings in Chang'an City.
Chang'an City has no walls, and it seems that anyone can capture her.
They looked at Chang'an, which was close at hand and had no defense, and they must have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
They paused for hours, talking to each other.
I can fully imagine their feelings, and there may be fear, excitement, hope, greed.
In the end, they rushed into Chang'an City, and greed finally triumphed over reason.
Probably they thought that the defenders of Chang'an City were a bunch of waste, and it was finally time for the world to change the emperor. They would storm Chang'an, kill the mediocre emperor and the treacherous prime minister, and then start a new dynasty.
The emperor and his ministers watched all this from the Chengqi Palace on the 100th floor of the Imperial Palace.
Everyone looked at Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, tremblingly.
Liu Xingchao, the head of the inner court, looked confident.

At first, a small group of rebels entered Chang'an City with trepidation, and there were no mines or anything, and no one stopped them.
Then the rebels came in and fought with some of the Royal Army, but the Royal Army soon fled.
In the end, a large number of rebels rushed in, and everyone wanted to rob the emperor's silver and women first.
Suddenly, the muzzles of submachine guns with black holes protruded from the windows of every tall building, heavy machine guns appeared from the roofs of every building, manhole covers were lifted at every street entrance, and the Janissaries opened fire with submachine guns at the mouth of the sewers. Dozens of cannons appeared on the roofs of the auxiliary buildings in the courtyard of the palace, indiscriminately bombarding the rebels more than 10 kilometers away. Several helicopters also appeared in the sky, firing wildly at the ground.
The rebels immediately fled and left corpses scattered in the streets.
The manager, Liu Xingchao, smiled contemptuously: "In these years, cats and dogs dare to come to fight Chang'an." ”
The emperor and his ministers breathed a sigh of relief.
Prime Minister Li Guozhong looked at the rebels who fled for their lives, and said to Liu Xingchao: "Chase them out and destroy them." ”
Liu Xingchao said to him: "These hillbillies with bamboo poles are not worthy of our beating." Your business, you go to fight. ”
Jin Yuguang, head of the household department: "Isn't it your business to be in Jiangshan Sheji?" ”
Liu Xingchao stared at him and said, "If you talk nonsense to me again, I will throw you down from the hundred floors." ”
The scene was a little awkward, and no one spoke for a long time.
At the Inner Court meeting after the Imperial Court Meeting, Liu Xingchao, the head of the Inner Court, said with a gloomy face: "These bastards in the Outer Dynasty have nothing to do when they are full all day long, and if something happens, it is not our bottom line!" Jin Yuguang's milk stinks yet, and since he dares to accuse me. Li Guozhong also dared to order me, what kind of green onion is he! Even their little soldiers dare to show off in front of me! ”

Moving on to the day's pilgrimage.
Prime Minister Li Guozhong said: "The Royal Army is all new recruits and cannot be reused. The rebels cannot occupy Chang'an City, but they will destroy other counties one by one. For our own sake, they must be exterminated. Gyeonggi is also my hometown, and I will never tolerate the traitors ravaging her. ”
Emperor Zhu Honghua's face showed a hint of unhappiness: "The new imperial army can't beat them, and the forbidden army doesn't want to go out to fight, so what should I do?" ”
Prime Minister Li Guozhong said: "You don't have to rely on them alone! ”
He turned to Yang Mingyang, the Minister of Survival, and said, "Can your father send troops?" ”
Yang Mingyang is the son of Hongnong Yang, and his father is the head of Hongnong Yang's family. Hongnong is a county in the east of Chang'an City, and the county seat is Hongnong County.
Yang Mingyang said: "The head of the family will definitely agree. We have a total of 400,000 government troops, all of whom are veterans of a hundred battles. ”
The prime minister turned to Dongfang Yongwu again and said, "Can the Xiliang cavalry come?" ”
Dongfang Yongwu, the son of Dongfang in Liangzhou, had just been promoted to assistant to the deputy minister of the military department a few months ago, and he was also ranked above the court.
In fact, it is not that the Dongfang family has merit, nor is he capable, but during the Battle of Baoding, the Dongfang family's government army ran fast, and after the war, it became the main force - moreover, he ran only after getting my information.
Dongfang Yongwu: "No problem. We have 400,000 cavalry, and as long as the imperial court gives an order, we can immediately rush to the aid of Chang'an. ”
Prime Minister Li Guozhong: "Very good, I still have 500,000 government troops in Longxi." The three armies are assembled, enough to strangle the rebels! ”

This war has made Gyeonggi, known as the best place in the world, show its original weak face.
The hundreds of county towns on the Guanzhong Plain are like dilapidated houses in a great flood, some are crumbling, and some are disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The private gang may not be capable, but the rebellious government army of those two families is not vegetarian. The county seat was breached one by one, the people of the county were slaughtered, women and children were taken captive, gold and silver wealth were robbed, and the whole county was destroyed by fire.
The imperial court once again went to war against the rebels.
Prime Minister Li Guozhong commanded the three-way army to fight at the same time, the north was the 400,000 Xiliang cavalry led by Dongfang Yongwu and Dongfang Yongbai, the west was Prime Minister Li Guozhong's 500,000 Longxi Li army army, and the east was Yang Mingyang's 400,000 Hongnong Yang army army, in addition to more than a dozen Dashi clans participating in the war, each of them had tens of thousands of government troops.
The rebels who were burning and looting soon encountered the Daming army.
The government army is all the army raised by the scholars themselves, and they must care about their own things, so the government army is still very combative.
The scattered rebel bandits were routed, they fought and retreated, and finally they were squeezed into an encirclement more than ten kilometers long and wide.
By this time it was night, and more than a million troops surrounded the rebels.
The government army coalition is waiting for the dawn to wipe them out.

After dawn, Prime Minister Li Guozhong personally persuaded the rebels to surrender.
The so-called persuasion is complete nonsense, this is just a game before the cat eats the mouse. Everyone knows that the imperial court did not let go of the tradition of rebels.
The prime minister spoke to the rebels with a loudspeaker, and various flags were still erected on the opposite side, the most conspicuous of which was the gold coin flag with a red background.
The prime minister was speaking in a bala bara when the rebels suddenly threw a lot of bottles in the direction of the government army. The bottle snapped and shattered, and a puff of yellow gas came out.
The prime minister laughed: "Haha, don't throw the urine bottle if there is no bomb!" ”
When the veterans who had survived the Battle of Baoding saw this posture, they immediately thought of that terrible scene, and they all retreated. Among them, the fastest runner was the Xiliang cavalry, they all knew that it was poison gas, and they all rode horses and ran fast.
Those recruits who had not experienced the Battle of Baoding rushed forward, and as soon as they came into contact with the yellow smoke, they immediately fell to the ground and convulsed, and did not move for a few seconds.
As soon as the rest of the people saw this, they no longer dared to act rashly.
But the rebels didn't move, because they didn't have gas masks.
Both sides held out all morning.
In the end, all the rebels charged. They threw gas cylinders as they rushed. This is a suicide charge, because poison gas kills do not care about the enemy.
The veterans hurriedly dodged away, and the encirclement loosened.
Hundreds of thousands of rebels fled in all directions.
In the fertile Guanzhong Plain, it is very difficult to catch hundreds of thousands of rabbits, let alone people.
Those people are also uncharacteristic, fleeing into the crowd to change clothes, who knows?
The government army only killed a hundred thousand, and most of them fled. Some mixed into the people, some fled north to Xiliang, some fled south to Sichuan, and the largest number of people fled to the Central Plains.
Tongguan has been destroyed, and people can easily come and go.
The "Patriarch of the Trading Senate" Wang Facai also fled to the Central Plains, and there were even rumors that he was sent by Zhao Zhengbao, and the intelligence of the forbidden army showed that when Wang Facai fled to Tongguan, the Central Plains Army responded.
The story of this king making a fortune has just begun.

At this point, Gyeonggi was in turmoil.
There have been riots in every county, and the capital, counties, and countryside have been disconnected. The emperor was in charge of Chang'an City and a dozen counties near her, that is, the Great Chang'an District, and the rest of the counties were either run by the Dashi clan, local tyrants, local bandits, or in ruins.
Haha, at the beginning, one Tianzi Twelfth family made the world dark, and now the two Tianzi Twelve Families rebelled at the same time, see how the emperor cleans up.
