Chapter 17: Zhao Jingzhong's Scheme

In the chaotic streets, Zhao Jingzhong, who was riding on a tall horse, had a hideous face with a little imperceptible fear, and he waved the spear that had been spliced together in his hand and shouted: "Kill!" Kill me! ”

However, the performance of the brocade guards who were suddenly attacked was not good.

Just now, outside the gate of the mansion, the brocade guards who had just framed Shen Lian's three brothers with fire phosphorus whistle arrows were suddenly ambushed by the crossbowmen who had already been ambushed in the houses on both sides before they could hear the sound of fighting in the courtyard!

Because at this time, Luo Shen's dependents have controlled most of Shanxi, and even have the relationship between the surrounding first-line county governments, and the masters and resources of all walks of life under his hands have long been different from what they used to be.

Most of these are the elite crossbowmen in the Ming army, or the dependents of good hunters who can be counted in ten miles and eight towns, and they have shot more than one-third of the Jinyi guards in just a rain of arrows.

Immediately after, a large number of swordsmen and boxers with quite good martial arts suddenly rushed out, where did they give Zhao Jingzhong's group of Jinyi Guards a chance to fight back?

At this moment, the discerning man had already seen the signs of the retreat of the Jinyi Guard.

To add insult to injury, fires began to burn in various parts of the city, and the sound of shelling from the direction of the city wall made the more astute brocade guards uneasy.

At this time when the situation is not clear at all, where are these Jinyi guards, who are mostly relying on spending money to make up for the lack of hundreds of households, still willing to work hard?

And most of the people around them who are close to them on weekdays are raccoon dogs, and there are martial arts, but it is impossible for them to sacrifice their lives for the country at this time.

As a result, the brocade guards inevitably fell into a rout.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhao Jingzhong was not stupid, and suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't retreat!" No refund! Kill a thief and reward fifty taels of silver! Those who kill thieves will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver, and 100 households will be raised! ”

This voice shouted out, and suddenly stabilized a lot of Jinyi guards who saw money and opened their eyes, or dreamed like a promoted Jinyi guard.

Those hundreds of households naturally surrounded Zhao Jingzhong and began to retreat out of the street, but the ordinary brocade guards who were agitated began to fight back fiercely at this time.

And this fight suddenly showed the lack of force and experience of the dependents controlled by Luo Shen.

In the case that the average martial arts are slightly worse, the cooperation is even worse, so the situation has the meaning of flipping.

Fortunately, Chen An has already made arrangements for the safety of the "base camp".

Don't wait for Zhao Jingzhong and others to be happy.

A few swift figures suddenly rushed out of the shadows!

A big man at the head is more than two meters tall, with knotted muscles, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and a pair of ape-like long arms are as thick as ordinary people's waists!

At this time, he held two broad-bladed axes in his fan-sized palms, which he knew at a glance were specially made!

I saw that as soon as he rushed into the crowd, he raised his axe and fell, only to see that there were two brocade guards who didn't even have a chance to block, and most of his body was directly cut off from his shoulder!

With a horizontal wave, two more blocked brocade-clothed guard swords flew to death!

And if he is the only one, in fact, this group of experienced brocade guards is not too afraid - isn't it just tall and powerful?

Will they be afraid of these brocade guards who specialize in killing people and destroying people?

As long as a few people cooperate with each other, find an opportunity to cut off his leg, or simply bow and crossbow and arrow...... There are ways to deal with it.

But the problem is.

At this time, the few people around Dahan are not mediocre!

He was followed by a middle-aged man with a spear in his hand, with a sad face, who looked as if someone owed him a few hundred taels of silver.

He was dressed in a ragged khaki cloth coat, and he looked more like a down-and-out old man on the street.

But it was this inconspicuous middle-aged man, when several brocade guards next to him besieged him, he found that this person's spear shook, and it was actually a scene of spears blooming and poisonous snakes spitting letters!

The half-foot-long blade of the spear is vicious and tricky, no matter how many people besiege it, it can instantly force people back, and if you don't pay attention to it, it is like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter with a shot to seal the throat!

There was also one man, short and stocky.

A torn sheepskin jacket looks a little weird.

But a broken knife wrapped in twine around this person's waist is extremely fast, and it can even be said to be the fastest knife that Jinyiwei has ever seen! Many people secretly compared this person's knife with Shen Lian's knife, which was extremely famous for his martial arts in the Suppression Division...... But he found that if he didn't mention other tricks, this person's knife was faster than Shen Lian!

And obviously, this Northwest swordsman is practicing a fast knife!

Fast! Fast! Fast!

It's almost to the extreme!

In the dark night, the sword light flashed rapidly, often one flickered, one rubbed shoulders, and one transposition, and the brocade guards who were close to this person sealed their throats, cut off their hands, disemboweled, and broke their stomachs!

Where is the chance to fight back?!

The scene of holding a knife and slashing halfway, or falling to the light of the knife in a daze after the kung fu stance is halfway unfolded, is not too absurd......

And except for these three obvious masters.

Although the kung fu of the rest of the people is obviously a little worse, even if they are placed in the brocade guard, they are all at the level of one in a hundred.

These people suddenly killed, twisted into a group, and rampaged through the crowd, and the counterattack that the brocade guards had just organized was broken in half!

Seeing that the general trend has gone, where do Zhao Jingzhong and several hundred households dare to stay?

Seeing that the situation was not good, he fled from this chaotic battlefield.

"It's the other way around! It's the other way around! Zhao Jingzhong rode his horse all the way, and the horseshoe made a crisp sound on the stone road. He didn't care about anything else, he just wanted to run back to the Zhenfu Division and mobilize the army to directly kill these anti-thieves who dared to resist!

However, a few people had just turned the corner leading to the yamen, and the flames were burning on the gate in front of them, and in the firelight, they could see countless brocade guards trying to rush out of the gate but were assassinated by random arrows and spears, but the scene made their hearts chill!

I thought of the firelight in the night sky and the sound of cannons coming from the city walls......

Zhao Jingzhong's lips trembled.

And the middle-level Jinyi guards who relied on buying and selling officials and sending money to get official positions were all gray-faced, but their eyes were gurgling...... It seems that he is already considering a way out.

"Let's go! Go to the Royal Palace! Zhao Jingzhong forcibly suppressed the panic in his heart and said.

Turning the horse's head, several people began to gallop in the direction of the palace.

However, in the process, two horses gradually "fell behind".

Zhao Jingzhong saw all this, even if he didn't say it, he understood that these two people had run home. But at this time, he didn't have time to care about these things.

He is not a loyal minister - in fact, in his opinion, what Chongzhen, what Apocalypse, what Donglin Party, Wei Zhongxian...... None of them are just masters who step on his head and!

He, Zhao Jingzhong, doesn't care who is the emperor, he only cares about what benefits he has!

From the beginning of defecting to Wei Zhongxian and recognizing the old eunuch as a godfather, he Zhao Jingzhong was to climb up with the help of Wei Zhongxian's energy!

And later Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Wei Zhongxian fell, and he Zhao Jingzhong quietly picked himself up, relying on the power and some information accumulated when following Wei Zhongxian, he became a loyal, reliable, and capable celebrity in the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen!

It's disrespectful.

He, Zhao Jingzhong, won't tie himself to a rope stupidly!

Like Wei Zhongxian, who has reached the pinnacle of power, isn't he still easily defeated by this great tomorrow, and can only cheat to death, hiding like a mouse in the gutter?

At this time, Zhao Jingzhong's mind was spinning rapidly.

He thought: After a while, he will return to the palace to see the situation, if Daming withstands the rebels outside the city and the inner city is not lost, he will hug Chongzhen to the death, and then perform a loyal minister drama of "desperately killing out of the rebels, just to enter the palace to escort". And if it's not good...... Hehe.

His Zhao Jingzhong could only retreat bravely!

Anyway, he had already arranged a few mansions in this capital division, and the internal arrangements were enough for him to avoid the military disaster.

Just wait for everything to settle and make plans for yourself, which is to join the rebels...... Ah, no, then he should be called the Emperor.

If not.

Then he Zhao Jingzhong is not afraid - after all, he has secretly contacted Houjin outside the customs all these years, and he has provided them with intelligence and smuggled materials over the years...... With this merit alone, plus the secrets of the military aircraft within the Ming Dynasty in his hands, he Zhao Jingzhong will definitely be able to keep his glory and wealth in Houjin!

Isn't it just a change of master?

Who sits and doesn't sit in this world?
