Chapter 427: The Officials Forced the People to Rebel (I)

The incident heated up further.

The government used the government to arrest the "rebellious people", which intensified the hatred of the victims against the imperial court, and the original orderly petition became disorderly. On the 26th and 27th days of the lunar month, there were a series of incidents of violent attacks on the government by the victims, resulting in the death and injury of many government officials, and the people were also severely suppressed, and the people who participated in the disturbances almost never came out of the government alive.

Although the troublemakers were only a small group of thousands of victims, it attracted the imperial court's "liquidation" of the entire disaster victims. On the afternoon of the 27th day of the lunar month, after an emergency meeting, the imperial court decided to drive all the victims out of Chang'an City and not allow them to spend the winter in Chang'an City.

As the Jingzhao Mansion and the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions began to drive out the refugees in the streets and alleys, and treated their people like a predator against a flood, the prestige of the imperial court among the victims and even the common people was completely ruined. The people entered Chang'an City in the hope of surviving the cold winter after the collapse of their houses, and now they are not allowed to stay in the city, which is equivalent to sleeping in the wilderness in the ice and snow, so how can there be a way to live?

A revolt began to brew among the common people, and the squires and local protectors who had been suppressed by the imperial court became the initiators of the rebellion, and they contacted each other, and also allowed refugees from all over the country to contact each other.

At this time, the imperial court, still blindly thought that the victims did not dare to confront the imperial court, they could only obediently go out of the city with their tails between their legs, and when they drove away these people in the disaster, they could have a stable New Year in Chang'an City.

The first and second groups of civilians were driven out of the city from the north gate on the 27th day of the lunar month, because the rebel camp was southeast of the city, and the disaster victims walking through the north gate would not attract a sneak attack from the army. And the imperial court did not dare to drive too many victims out of the city at once. Prevent chaos at the gates and give the rebels an opportunity. The first two groups of people who were driven out of the city were about half of the total number of victims. There were one or two thousand people, men, women, and children, most of whom were women and children, and this group of people was also the last group of victims to enter Chang'an City, and their roots in Chang'an City were unstable, causing them to be driven out of the city first.

As a result, it snowed heavily on the night of the 27th day of the lunar month, and the temperature reached the point where the water turned into ice. By the next morning, the snow had not stopped, and the two groups of victims were driven out of the city. More than 30% of them froze to death overnight, and the rest had frostbite to varying degrees. The victims of the city, who had not yet been driven out, were fortunate enough to survive the coldest night of the winter, and when they learned that the faithful of the same god had been killed or wounded outside the city, they could no longer suppress their hatred and fear for their future survival.

A large-scale riot in Chang'an City, on the morning of the 28th day of the lunar month, suddenly exploded in the outer city of Chang'an City and spread rapidly.

Unlike those who only knew how to burn, kill and loot, the victims of the snow disaster in Guanzhong launched a "coup d'Γ©tat" against the court of the Great Shun Dynasty, and their spearhead was not aimed at the ordinary people or wealthy families in the city. Rather, it was the official yamen of the imperial court, and then further attacked the inner city and approached the palace. Due to the blind arrogance of the Jingzhao Mansion and the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions, the preparation was not sufficient. It also miscalculated the intentions of the victims, so that they rushed to the battle when they learned that the victims were organized in an orderly manner to capture the inner city gate, although the Yamen of the Six Defense Division guarded most of the city gates, but they were still smashed by the victims from the south gate of the inner city under the jurisdiction of the south gate of the jade, and the waterway of the south gate of the inner city became the breakthrough point of the victims, and the victims entered the inner city through the waterway, and then attacked the inner city tower, and occupied the city gate at the cost of casualties everywhere, and the victims continued to kill from the outer city into the inner city, and killed directly in the direction of the imperial city.

The imperial court was defenseless against this rebellion under the nose, and the soldiers of the Sixth Defense Division had been beaten all over the ground looking for teeth in the face of a group of victims who could not even eat enough to eat, and the soldiers of the Sixth Defense Division were still beaten all over the ground in the case of absolute superiority in numbers and weapons.

Compared with the disaster victims who are united in their hearts, the soldiers of the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions are very greedy for life and afraid of death, and they are originally holding the golden rice bowl of the Yamen of the Six Defense Divisions, waiting for singing and dancing to promote peace and clothing for a lifetime, and then push their sons and grandsons up to take over their positions when they are old and can no longer do anything, relying on the salary and money to buy houses and land, and be a small landlord around Chang'an City, passing on the torch. Now suddenly there are rioters at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and the target of the impact is still them, and at the critical moment of life and death, they all hope that other defense departments and yamen will solve the chaos in front of them, while they are waiting to pick up ready-made ones.

Some of the commanders of the defense department and the yamen who can play tricks also lack the confidence to fight to the death for the imperial court. In front of the chaos, they were the fastest to escape.

The victims attacked from the south gate of the inner city all the way to the south gate of the palace, and basically encountered no obstacles along the way. At this time, the Imperial Forest Army closed the palace gate as soon as they received the report, and a bloody battle broke out in front of the south gate of the palace.

At this time, the palace city became a pot of porridge, and a few days ago he scolded the courtiers who were in turmoil at the court meeting, but he didn't expect that he would say a prophecy, the victims really rebelled, and they were more effective than expected. And the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month was also the last court meeting before the Shun Dynasty, and as a result, the ministers were blocked in the palace gate and couldn't go home.

The Imperial Forest Army was fighting the chaotic people in an orderly manner, and these officials were panicked in the Fengcui Palace. They still don't know what the current situation of the chaotic people is, whether there are only chaotic people outside, or whether there are other factors. What they were most worried about was the 70,000 rebels in Huaji'an, who were standing still outside the city, and if the rebels joined this time, it would mean that their good days were over. These officials are also speculating that since the rebels have been rampant to the point of attacking the palace gate, it is likely that the entire Chang'an City has been occupied by them, and even if the rebels in the city can be pacified at this time, they will not be able to suppress the profits of the rebels outside the city.

Su Yan, who was originally in the Fengcui Palace Wu Dynasty, was already in the time when the rebels in the city had captured the south gate of the inner city, so he hurriedly threw down the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and returned to the Yaqian Hall with a few officials, and used the Yaqian Hall as the headquarters to organize this counterinsurgency in Chang'an City. Soon after Su Yan arrived at Yaqian Palace, he received news that the palace gate had been attacked on a large scale by the rebels.

"What's going on outside?" Su Yan glared at the officials of the military department and asked.

The officials of the Ministry of War all got up early in the morning and arrived at the Ministry of War today, and together they planned to quell the rebellion against the rebels outside the city, the relief of the rebels and the expulsion of refugees from the city. Some of the people from the military department came in to report the situation to the emperor, but the speed of the transmission of the war report could not keep up with the speed of the march of the chaotic people.

Now, it is clear that the victims have been killed outside Miyagi.

"This ...... We have to wait for specific news. "The officials of the Ministry of War can only be perfunctory.

Su Yan came up with a fire, and he really wanted to strangle these ministers of the military department to death one by one.

Yesterday, he described these victims as flood beasts, saying that as long as they were driven out of the city, everything would be fine, but who knew that after only one night, the chaotic people would be killed under the palace gate, causing trouble to the Xiao Wall, Su Yan suddenly felt very powerless, because even Su Bi at this time could not come up with effective measures to solve the current embarrassment. Su Bi just blindly reassured him, but in fact, not only Su Yan couldn't feel at ease, but even Su Bi couldn't feel at ease.

When the rioters are killed at the doorstep, it is strange that they can rest assured.

Gradually, more news was gathered in the Yaqian Palace, which also allowed Su Yan to understand the truth about the rebellion of the victims.

It turned out that it was not the people who wanted to rebel, but they were forced to rebel by the government, and it was not until this time that Su Yan knew that the more than 1,000 victims who were driven out of the city yesterday had survived a night of death in the snow, and so far most of the more than 1,000 victims had been killed or injured, as long as the court did not give an order to drive them out of the city yesterday, then these victims did not have to die. The victims in the city wanted to rebel, and they also saw their future fate from these more than 1,000 victims, and they simply died, and they even came to attack Miyagi without fear.

Hearing these reports, there was silence in the Yaqian Palace, and among the several important ministers, Lan He and Su Bi were on the same front yesterday to drive the disaster victims out of the city, and this disaster was tantamount to being provoked by them. When it quieted down, you could vaguely hear the hustle and bustle outside the palace gate.

Su Yan's expression was solemn, sitting there as if he was dozens of years old, and the whole person became depressed and desolate.

"The master once said that the people are the foundation, the water can carry the boat and the boat can overturn, and now the people's river does not want to carry our boat, so they want us to capsize, which is also our own fault." Su Yan sighed and said, "The people are important, the community is light, the king is for the people, and the people are important for the king." Alas! ”

Su Bizhi said that Su Yan thought of Liu Wenyan whenever there was any trouble, Liu Wenyan had too much influence on him, like a shadow in Su Yan's heart that he couldn't go back to. That's not a good thing.

Su Bi said: "Please order the emperor to immediately transfer the soldiers and horses of the two battalions into the inner city and cooperate with the Royal Forest Army to suppress the bandits." ”

Because the two major battalions of the Chang'an City Garrison, the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion are currently in Chang'an City, and it is very convenient to dispatch them, Su Yan looked up at Su Bi and said, "The soldiers and horses of the two battalions have not been mobilized yet?" ”

In Su Yan's opinion, there was such a big mess in Chang'an City, and the two battalions of soldiers and horses should have started to quell the rebellion a long time ago. It was they who could not be pacified to make the rebels attack the gate of the palace.

Su Bi sighed helplessly, although Su Yan looked good as the emperor, he hadn't experienced some major changes after all, and he was not clear about some court rules.

"The soldiers and horses of the two battalions are not allowed to move without being ordered, Your Majesty, give an order quickly."

Su Yan hurriedly asked the people below to write an edict to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the South Chang'an Battalion and the Dongshui Battalion to quell the rebellion. (To be continued......)
