6-42 Counterinsurgency
In the back garden of the palace, surrounded by green trees, fountains, and colorful birds jumping on the branches, there was no one in the empty courtyard, and a group of soldiers covered in gunpowder smoke and blood broke into the imperial garden in battle formation, holding still smoking firearms.
Liu Xiaomei, who was hiding behind Liu Ziguang, was covered with a Spanish-style cuirass, looked around curiously, saw a good-looking bird in the tree, and was about to run to the tree with a smile, but was pulled back by Liu Ziguang and reprimanded: "When is this, you know how to play." Liu Xiaomei pouted, snorted, and hid behind Liu Ziguang, jumping into the imperial garden, a group of people were walking, suddenly heard hurried footsteps in front, Liu Ziguang waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately found cover and hidden, aiming the muzzle of the black hole in front of them.
I saw a group of people in yellow robes in the distance, hurrying over, for a few sturdy men with long swords in their hands, several women in the middle surrounded by one person, followed by soldiers with bows and crossbows, Liu Ziguang looked at these people, there were three or four very familiar people, they had been pirates on the Black Pearl, looking at their dress and weapons, they should be the inner guards of the Song Dynasty - with imperial equipment, and the person who was surrounded by the palace maids was none other than the Empress of the Song Dynasty.
These people were obviously being chased, and the sound of fire guns sounded from time to time behind them, it seems that the rebels have broken through the palace gate, Liu Ziguang signaled his subordinates not to shoot, let this group of people pass, after this group of people rushed over, the front with imperial equipment appeared, and the ambush soldiers behind the tree were just about to start, Liu Ziguang and the empress shouted at the same time
"Stop" needless to say, the two nodded wisely, and withdrew to the outside of the palace with the soldiers, Liu Ziguang personally held a long gun, and after the palace, the rebels quickly broke through the previous wave of resistance with imperial equipment, and chased after them violently, and saw that their uniforms turned out to be the Imperial Forest Army, it seems that the power of the Youth Army Association has infiltrated the Royal Forest Army, these are no wonders, Wen Jun himself is hanging the rank of lieutenant colonel of the Royal Forest Army, and it is inevitable to show his influence inside.
Liu Ziguang a fire gun to hit the head of the pursuers, the degree of lead bullet is much higher than the degree of the bow and arrow, a small lead shot can beat people's heads into blood, gourd, death is very miserable, and Liu Ziguang and others while fighting and retreating, along the way also left a lot of grenades with fuses, often blowing up the pursuers on their backs, so that the degree of chasing soldiers is naturally much slower, the empress smoothly pulled out dozens of royal horses from the imperial stable, and a beautifully decorated, well-protected carriage ready to escape from the back door of the palace, Liu Ziguang caught up, saw the imperial horse room with the emperor's travel Huangluo umbrella cover, he insisted that the empress take the guard of honor to go, Dugu Wen didn't think much about it, let the guards do according to Liu Ziguang's words。
The royal horse wearing a bright yellow royal saddle escorted a carriage and rushed out of the palace, and on the left and right pedals of the carriage stood four guards with crossbows in hand, and the soldiers under Liu Ziguang also grabbed the horses and rode around the carriage.
A group of forbidden cavalry with spears and halberds roared over, and there was a direct burst of firecrackers to knock the cavalrymen off their horses, catch up, stab the rebels who fell off their horses, picked up the spears and hung them on the victory hook for backup, this firearms are not happy to use after all, and the two armies are still fighting with knives and guns.
The city was in chaos, the empress's bright yellow chariot obviously played a certain role in stabilizing the morale of the army, from time to time there were disrupted soldiers and the dukes of Bian Jing's mansion to join the team, Liu Ziguang hugged the chariot to the south of the city, according to the plan, his landing sailors will be in the south of the city 6 taels to converge and then make plans, with the empress in hand, there is the capital to command the world, although this empress is only symbolic.
Wen Jun has taken over the leadership of the mutinous troops, Daquan Xun sent more than a dozen small troops to quell the chaos in the city, and sent people to contact the sailors who had entered the city, but the whole incident has deteriorated, first the situation in the city is a mess, the Malays, the natives have taken up arms and started to riot, the Song people are also sent to fight separately, Liu Ziguang's troops have no news, the troops attacking the palace have been in vain, and there are many rebellious soldiers swimming in the cityDang Wenjun's orders were not fully and completely carried out, and the rebellious troops they instigated carried out a second mutiny, which made a mess of Bian Jingcheng.
"I don't kill Beren, but Beren dies because of me." Wen Jun Yangtian lamented that he was an idealist, not a selfish person who coveted power, because his obsolescence led to the current chaos, which made the young youth army leader extremely regretful, but at this point, only to shoulder this responsibility and quickly calm down the chaos is the right thing.
The sailors in white and the forbidden army in light green broke out in the city, because the 6 sons and nephews of the 6 Bian Sheng, many of whom served in the sailor, and the death of their relatives made them extremely angry, and refused Wen Jun's request for peace talks, waved the army to storm it, and by the way, Wen Jun's mansion was set on fire, as a revenge for the Wen family, Ding was not prosperous, and many people were killed in this fire, according to the statistics after the turmoil subsided, the catastrophe led to the death of half of the famous families in the Song Kingdom, and the vitality of the Song Dynasty was greatly damaged!
Liu Ziguang and others came all the way to the south of the city, the rebels on the city wall saw the emperor's chariot a little overwhelmed, did not dare to fire at the convoy, but also did not want to open the city to release people, Liu Ziguang picked up a firework bomb and shot into the sky, the Ming army troops in ambush outside the city took advantage of the opportunity, a few bazooks opened the city gate, 1,500 soldiers swarmed in, under the internal and external attack, the rebels at the south gate surrendered without much resistance, after all, the mutinous troops are not monolithic, some people are more radical, some people are milder, the guard of the south gate is the moderate, not far from the south gate is the bay, the Ming army's warships are parked there, they can board the ship at any time to go to other islands, the empress obviously has no ability to deal with this kind of chaos, everything is in charge of Liu Ziguang, just themWhen he was about to escape from the south gate, a man and a horse followed, and an old man in the lead was wearing a python robe, his eyebrows and eyes were very familiar, and he looked at the banner behind him, which turned out to be Zhao Kang's father, and the Taiping County King of the Great Song Kingdom had arrived.
The people of the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty are not very prosperous, and there is only one girl in the lineage of the empress, such as Zhao Jing and Zhao Kang, the prince of Taiping County is one of the few uncles of the empress, the old man is a sailor, and the three children are all in the army, and the family also raised a lot of samurai.
The loyalty of the royal family is still trustworthy, the county king with his three children abandoned his weapons to see the emperor, after the two sides exchanged views, because the slogan of the mutinous troops is very unclear, and as soon as they came up, they killed a lot of old ministers, so it was very unpopular, even Zhao Jing, who was a member of the Youth Army Association, had some opinions, and the county king and Zhao Jing and Zhao Kang were even more resentful, saying that they were determined to fight the rebels to the end, and the prestige of the kings in the water division was very high, and it was suggested that the empress should not run away, just wait in Nancheng for a while, and after he got in touch with the officers and soldiers of the water division, the overall situation could be stabilized。
"Well, I believe that you will never leave the capital." The empress who regained her peace finally came up with a little bit of the king's style in the world, and decided to erect a banner in the south city, calling on all walks of life to fight with the rebels, Liu Ziguang agreed with them, the two armies joined forces together, and began to deploy near the south gate city wall, and the horses, sandbags and other things on the city moved down to build fortifications, and the empress was invited to the city tower to hide, before leaving, she seemed to remember something, and said: "I seal Liu Ziguang, in order to recruit the general, the commander of the army, must annihilate the rebels, and eradicate the evil." "Liu Ziguang has changed from an envoy of the Ming Dynasty to a general of the Song Dynasty, which is really a bit fast, but there is an official rank of the Song Dynasty that really helps his actions, except for him, one is a man with rich experience in 6 battles, everyone else is from the sailor, so the empress's temporary order is still very reasonable, usually the generals of the Song Dynasty have to be approved by the Privy Council, but now the Privy Council is dead, and the emperor's verbal order has become the highest instruction of the Song Dynasty, no one jumped out at this time to question the appointment of the empress, everyone is very cooperative, standing around Liu Ziguang and listening to his dispatch。
Under the dispatch of Liu Ziguang, the scouts who listened to the intelligence and contacted the flag officer of the large army of the naval division 6 continued to send out, as well as several small units to suppress the riot and gather the troops, all radiating outward from the dot centered on the south of the city, and a bright yellow imperial flag was raised high on the south gate building, representing the emperor.
In the final analysis, this mutiny was just an immature movement instigated by some radical soldiers in the Youth Army Association, and even if the Song officialdom needed reform, it did not use such a violent way to carry out the contradictions between the young officers and the upper echelons, and it did not make a rebellion, so this mutiny was doomed to fail from the beginning, and more and more mutinous soldiers began to regret their actions after calming down.
News came from the direction of the south gate, saying that the emperor had gathered his troops and began to hold on, and with the help of the first general of the Ming Dynasty, the sailor troops on the opposite side were still exerting pressure, and the large-scale battle had been carried out twice, although the combat effectiveness was not as good as the forbidden army, but after all, people accounted for the reason, the number of people was also large, so it was they who won sooner or later, and more importantly, the chaotic capital made the soldiers have no heart to fight, they were killing each other here, and the Malays over there were killing their parents and people, which was too ridiculous.
When the empress made contact with the navy army, the rebels finally raised the white flag.
