Chapter 62: Martyrdom
In the first year of Wenhua, the emperor ordered the removal of the title of prince on the grounds that the king of Huaiyin was disrespectful, and three days later, the king of Huaiyin was imprisoned, and then 'committed suicide' in prison.
In July of the first year of Wenhua, the whole family was killed on the grounds that the public and private Qi State were accumulating dead soldiers and wanted to raise troops to rebel.
In the short seven months that Emperor Wenhua ascended to the throne, some of the remaining meritorious heroes and nobles were constantly imprisoned and executed, or their titles were removed.
And after seven months of killing, the emperor's eyes finally looked at Jiang Cheng, the only remaining Yongwang in the court, who was the longest surviving among the founding heroes.
In March of the second year of Wenhua, the emperor announced that Jiang Cheng would enter the palace to discuss the strategy.
"Hmph, the shaft doesn't know whether to live or die. "Jiang Cheng is not an ordinary person, after watching the luck of the country, he knew that the other party summoned him to the palace this time, if he was not mistaken, he just wanted to kill himself.
And Jiang Cheng is easy to provoke? To say that when the Great Wei Taizu was in power, Jiang Cheng would not want to resist, at most he would just flee for his life, but Emperor Wenhua was different.
Dawei Taizu is the founding Taizu, he can completely use the dragon qi of the national dynasty, at that time, even if Jiang Cheng is a monk at the peak of the seventh order, he can't resist the impact of the dragon qi.
But fortunately, Dawei Taizu is dead, and now he is succeeded by Emperor Wenhua, he is not Taizu, so Jiang Cheng is sure.
In March of the second year of Wenhua, Emperor Xuanyong entered the palace, and King Yong fled to the border overnight after seeing the holy decree.
With his cultivation, it only took one night for Jiang Cheng to reach the border pass, and then he called for the army to assemble.
Among the hundreds of thousands of troops at the border pass, 100,000 were his direct soldiers, veterans who followed him to kill countless people outside the country when the country was founded, and they were well taken care of by Jiang Cheng after they were discharged.
Therefore, their descendants are all loyal to Jiang Cheng, and those alien soldiers were very loyal to Jiang Cheng after entering the customs, and this Zhong loyalty even exceeded that of his descendants.
And those old people hadn't died yet! They had become the top in their own clan, so they would subconsciously accept Jiang Cheng's orders.
After summoning the army, the first thing Jiang Cheng asked was to purge the army, which was the first thing a rebel general would do.
After a night of slaughter, tens of thousands of soldiers loyal to the imperial court were killed, and then the army began to march towards the capital.
Of course, nominally for the sake of the Qing monarch, the savior and so on.
And Emperor Wenhua, who was far away in the capital, also knew the news that Jiang Cheng raised 300,000 troops to rebel at the border pass. Never underestimate the means of a great unifying dynasty, there are ways to convey information in this humane world.
Emperor Wenhua summoned his ministers overnight, and finally ordered Emperor Wenhua's general Wu Yuan to lead 300,000 troops to suppress the rebellion.
.....
β.... Lay down your arms, or the chickens and dogs will not be left. "The soldiers of the two sides met in the state, and after the first burst of mouth cannons, the real battle began.
"Kill!"
......
After a battle that lasted for a whole day, the winner was finally decided, and Jiang Cheng's Jingnan army was easily victorious, you must know that Jiang Cheng's army was a border army, and they fought all year round.
On the other hand, the imperial army is different, after the death of the generals of the older generation, these soldiers will be glamorous on the surface, and they have long since degenerated.
In this battle, Wu Yuan and other high-ranking generals were killed in battle, and the 300,000 imperial army died 50,000 people, and most of the remaining soldiers were persuaded to surrender.
After all, Jiang Cheng's prestige is very high, and Jiang Cheng's army is also in the name of appeasement.
Of course, the most important point is that the law does not blame the people, their hundreds of thousands of troops surrendered, they really don't believe in the imperial court, they can really kill all of them regardless of 3721.
The second year of Wenhua to the third year of Wenhua was a year of war, during which Jiang Cheng's army conquered the city, and he personally let the emperor know the power of the king.
And in this year's time, Emperor Wenhua's generals were almost dead, and he had no choice but to use the meritorious nobles at the time of the founding of the country.
Because at this time, the Jingnan army had already approached the city, and the 300,000 troops surrounded the capital, and almost all of the Qinwang troops were cleaned up by Jiang Cheng one by one.
"King Guangyang, the fate of the dynasty is entrusted to you. "King Guangyang is now the emperor's last hope, and he has given him all the 150,000 troops defending the city.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will definitely live up to his mission. King Guangyang spoke very loyally, of course, when everyone ignored the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!" The sound of Wan Sheng sounded one after another, and the court ministers who stood on the city wall and watched the battle were all colorless.
On the other side, after standing on the top of the city wall and looking at the mighty and majestic Jingnan army below, King Guangyang also smiled.
"King Guangyang, do you want to resist me!" At this time, under the gaze of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, Jiang Cheng immediately stepped forward and spoke to King Guangyang, who was wearing golden armor.
"The last will see the king!"
"No!"
"Rebellious ministers and thieves, take it down for me!"
"Your Majesty, be careful!"
......
The final battle of heroes did not take place, and with the kneeling of King Guangyang, everything was decided, and the court lost and was defeated.
The army of Jingnan began to enter the city, and all the arguments calmed down.
As for Emperor Wenhua, King Guangyang, of course, will not forget that he was under house arrest in the palace.
After the army entered the city, it immediately closed the four gates and began to collect the whole city, and all the people of Emperor Wenhua, or the diehards of the imperial court, were all beheaded one by one.
Especially the close ministers of Emperor Wenhua, their families were all ordered to be killed by Jiang Cheng. No one, men, women, or children are allowed to be spared.
In just three days, the Weishui edge outside the capital was dyed red with the blood of countless people.
Three days later, Jiang Cheng led his troops to attack, and all the concubines and princes were gathered inside.
"Hahahaha, King Yong, you chaotic minister and thief, you won't end well. β
"Your Majesty, I don't end well, you won't see it. β
"Why, you want to kill the king? Aren't you afraid of leaving a stench for 10,000 years!"
"You are too naΓ―ve, history is written by the victors, besides, I am a real master, I live a long time, and time will let the longest-lived person ascend to the throne. β
Jiang Cheng opened his mouth coldly, and then waved his hand, and his sons, daughters, and concubines were all brought to Jiang Cheng.
"Look, you're the one who killed them!
"Puff puff!"
With Jiang Cheng's order, in the painful eyes of Emperor Wenhua, these soldiers around him kept flashing with knives, and all his children and concubines were killed!
