Chapter 374: The Tang Dynasty's rice is not raised, mixed and eaten, and the nobles who are waiting for death

Heavy infantry in triple armor is almost invincible on the battlefield, but this is only almost, not absolutely, and more importantly, who is facing it.

It is difficult for handsome and strong bows and crossbows to make them fall directly, but it does not mean that all long-range weapons are not good, for example, the Eight Bull Crossbow!

Not to mention three layers of heavy armor, even if you add three layers, there is not much difference between the crossbow and the paper paste in front of the crossbow of the Eight Bull Crossbow, and as far as wearing people is concerned, at most it will change from wearing five people to wearing three people.

A few heavy crossbows passed, the dense crowd instantly loosened a lot, the momentum of the outlaws like a rainbow suddenly decreased a lot, the impact force brought by it was also greatly reduced, in the defense line composed of the heavy infantry of the forbidden army, it can not be said that it is weak and weak, it can only be said that the threat is not big, although it will cause a certain impact, and a small number of casualties, but it can not cause fatal damage to the entire battle line at all.

Like a wave that has lost its stamina, the continuous impact of thousands of years may break the reef, but for this wave, it cannot cause little damage to the reef standing on the shore.

The moment the two sides met, they were shot many times by arrows and crossbows during the charge, and the outlaws, who had already shown the end of the crossbow, fell in front of the forbidden army battle formation without any suspense.

Then came the second wave, the third wave, and as more and more outlaws fell in front of the battle, the resistance and the battle slowly came to an end.

As the overall situation has been decided, the situation on the battlefield has eased, and on the edge of the battlefield, several veterans who have served as instructors of the forbidden army training base as temporary regimental military academies have gathered together.

"A recruit is a recruit, I'm still too nervous, the first wave of bows and crossbows arrived at the same time, otherwise I can rush to the front of the formation at most fifty percent, this will be a fatal gap, and if I meet a strong one, I will probably suffer."

"Who's to say it's not, but the first time I went to the battlefield, I didn't mess up, so I barely qualified......

"These guys are still too weak, they don't have any organization at all, they just rely on a breath of blood, that is, let the recruits see blood, what elite can I get when I am those anti-thieves, it turns out that they are still a bunch of waste."

"Jianghu people, outlaws, private fights, joint arms fights are okay, can you still expect them to go to war, let alone them, even if those swordsmen in the Eldest Princess's Mansion are not the opponents of these recruits." A few old soldiers, you said, I was having a good time, the outlaws gradually weakened the counterattack, just as the gang of guys who were the commanders were about to give the order, a leisurely voice came into the ears of several people.

"The number of eight-ox crossbows is still too small!" As soon as this sentence came out, several people around looked sideways. Shuai this temple looks not small, but it is not big compared to the city, just such a small place, with a full sixty eight-bull crossbows, and there are too few dislikes, which is a bit shameless...... While the gang was chatting, the battlefield changed.

The most ferocious and ferocious part of the outlaws were slain in front of the battle, and after feeling no hope of breaking through, the remaining outlaws no longer attacked outwards but hid inside the temple.

At the same time, but without orders, the recruits of the forbidden army kept the battle line steady, and there was a momentary stagnation on the battlefield.

"Ahem, how's the catapult going?"

"That's it!"

"Let them do it, don't delay the hour, you need to bomb the temple in front of you to the ground before noon, the time is still quite tight!" With the order, under the cover of battle, a full sixty catapults of the same size began to fire under the unified order, and countless stone bullets began to fly in the direction of the temple without money.

Loud roars and terrible wails followed. At this time, the fear of being stoned alive obviously overpowered the fear of death, and people kept trying to leave.

However, at this moment, all exits, even the courtyard walls, have been sealed by the forbidden army, and anyone who tries to leave will be shot into a sieve by a strong bow or crossbow at the first time, or enjoy the thrill of being sniped by the eight-bull crossbow, and complete the achievement of being pierced.

Half an hour later, the soldiers of the forbidden army stepped on the blood and corpses and entered the monastery, which had been completely reduced to ruins, to complete the final baptism of their first battle.

……………………………………………………………… From the bell and drum sound of the bell and drum tower, in less than an hour, Yongjiafang, Dunyifang, Puningfang, Tongshanfang, a high-ranking official's mansion, a founding honor's ancestral home, a mansion of the children of a wealthy family in Shandong, plus a well-known temple in Chang'an has been completely razed to the ground, and no one in the area has survived.

Although the gate of Chang'an City has been closed, and there are also patrols with Jin Wuwei in the city, and the traffic between the cities has been cut off, it is not too difficult for those high-ranking officials and dignitaries who still exist in Chang'an City to obtain some information about what is happening in the city.

Of course, it doesn't matter if they really don't get the news. With the completion of several pilots, a large number of siege equipment that were concentrated in four locations were also built, and the forbidden army brought these liberated siege equipment according to the original plan, under the guidance of the swordsmen of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, with the assistance of Jin Wuwei and the patrol.

Before the forbidden army advanced according to the established route, Jingzhao Yin's errands, bad people, and various fangfang officials had completely wiped out several gathering places of anti-thieves, and the forbidden army, Jin Wuwei, and patrols began to suppress the rebellion throughout the city, capturing the news of the anti-party and transmitting it to the outside world.

It doesn't matter whether the ordinary citizens in Chang'an City know about it or not, it is important to make sure that all people in Chang'an City who have a certain status and status can get these news before noon.

If there is only one Cui Mansion that has been directly wiped out, it would be better to say something, but the four target locations were wiped out almost at the same time, and the information shown was really too much.

Someone in Chang'an City is responsible for delivering the news, the imperial city, the palace city will naturally not fall, every important change in Chang'an City, will be transmitted to the venue of the court meeting in the first time, Daming Palace Zichen Palace.

As the time approached noon, a heavily armed forbidden army military academy quickly stepped forward along the passage in the courtyard of Zichen Hall and reported: "Futian Temple in the northeast corner of Dunyi Fang, plotting rebellion and thieves, has now been razed to the ground, and all the rebel parties have been slaughtered!" "Although this morning, the courtiers have heard too much news that shocked them, however, near noon, the news that Futian Temple was razed to the ground for harboring the rebel party still made everyone deeply shocked again.

Raze to the ground, slaughter them all, this is not an ordinary word! And the use of these words in Chang'an City has exceeded everyone's cognition, you know, now is not a foreign invasion, or a rebellion by the guest army, but the Tang Dynasty's official army in Chang'an City to quell the rebellion.

To quell the rebellion in his own capital, using words such as razing to the ground and slaughtering them all, it is obviously beyond everyone's cognition, and that's it.

If the object of these words is placed on the old nobles of the Guanlong lineage, the wealthy family of the Shandong lineage, the three-grade bigwigs of the DPRK and China, and the Buddhism that is known as jumping out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements, it is impossible to imagine at all.

The Shuai court, or the emperor, this time dealt a blow to all the opposition forces in Chang'an City even more than Li Yu, who controlled Chang'an with the etheric emperor.

The female emperor who slaughtered all the blood of the Tang Dynasty men did not completely raze half of the land to the ground, so in the eyes of the vast majority of courtiers, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as unprecedented.

Before Futian Temple was wiped out, the destruction of the other three, including Cui's Mansion, had already shocked the entire city of Chang'an, and under the deterrence of the bloody counterinsurgency policy that left no room for error, at least fifteen rebels had voluntarily surrendered or been completely wiped out in the internal strife.

Chu was not surprised, he was not chaotic in the face of danger, he took advantage of the opportunity to set a trap, and all the opposition forces were wiped out, and a series of actions, all the courtiers felt a deep sense of surprise and shock.

Strong and show weak, weak and show strong, can show that it can't, surprise, attack unprepared, Sun Tzu's Art of War can be regarded as this pair of father and son thoroughly studied.

At this moment, all the courtiers almost had the same feeling, that is, the young emperor who was sitting on the throne in the Zichen Hall for the first time was definitely a ruthless character no less than the Emperor Taishang!

Everyone knows that this time the emperor is determined to complete his work in one battle and completely eliminate all the hidden dangers of the entire Chang'an, after all, only in this way can the entire Chang'an, the entire Guanzhong, face the pressure of the Tubo people and the Hebei rebels on the east and west fronts can fight to the death without distraction.

Everyone knows that now Emperor Li Chun has completely laid out the fate of the rebels, and those who take the initiative to surrender will destroy their three clans, and those who refuse to surrender will destroy their entire clans!

There are no real fools in the court of the Tang Dynasty, for such news, for such expectations, and for the impact of this, each faction in the DPRK and China naturally has its own different ideas and cognitions.

It was a joy for the most staunch warlords in the court, and of course a large part of these courtiers were themselves the executors of the whole plan.

For the neutral, technocratic, and reformist officials who are politically and militarily indifferent, they feel joy and excitement about such counterinsurgency actions, and they do not think of the means of counterinsurgency and repression.

For these guys, only a stable lobby can provide them with enough support to push technology and development to a climax, so as to boost the development of Datang from the fundamental factor of productivity.

As for those who advocated abandoning Chang'an, retreating to Tongguan, and taking Luoyang as the accompanying capital, what they felt was a deep fear and uneasiness.

This time, from digging pits, to burying pits, and then to the imperial edict, the direction shown is too obvious, and the hardliners and the main battle faction will become the main force of the imperial court in a considerable period of time.

It is true that the sledgehammer of the Shuai Pingchao did not hit them, but it was only a fraction of a second compared to being hit by this earth-shattering sledgehammer.

After all, they advocate that moving the capital and taking refuge also belong to the direction of compromise and retreat, which is contrary to the principle of not giving up an inch of land in the imperial decree of the Emperor Taishang.

If the emperor's thinking moves slightly, or the hammer in the hands of the forbidden army is slightly deviated, his own people will definitely be smashed to pieces like those who were destroyed!

This time, the only reason why they were not included in the scope of the attack was that the emperor still needed them, and the imperial court still needed them.

It is foreseeable that in order to maintain the stability of the court, Li Chun may not deal with them in a short period of time, but it is inevitable to wait for a long time to liquidate, and it is impossible to get rid of it.

Therefore, for these people, first pray for Datang to win a complete victory on the eastern and western fronts, only in this way can it bring greater hope.

After all, there is such a thing as a war, if you win a war, hello to me, hello everyone, some things will disappear, and you may be able to get some rewards when you are rewarded for meritorious deeds, even if you can't get it, in a good mood, the emperor will not easily kill the court officials under a big victory.

If Shuai loses, he always has to find someone to take responsibility and charge, and his own advocacy of moving the capital will lead to the change in the front of the murdered top crime seems logical and seamless!

Therefore, while praying for victory, the most important thing for them is to stand on the last shift well, and when Datang wins a complete victory, they can return to their hometown with dignity.

For those who advocate surrender, how to talk, compromise, and even directly prepare to rebel in Chang'an City, attack the palace city, and take down the emperor...... Well, these guys have either been removed or physically exceeded, and the dead are clearly not having a voice and no choice.

With the news that Futian was razed to the ground confirmed, Gao Chongwen, a veteran general who commanded the entire counterinsurgency in Chang'an, announced the plan, steps, and follow-up arrangements for the counterinsurgency, and today's court meeting came to an end.

And at this time, Li Chun, who got up, saw it for the first time from the eyes of the civil and military officials, and they were full of fear and admiration for their father Li Yu in the past.

announced the edict of the Emperor Taishang, cleaned up the unstable elements in the court, suppressed the anti-thieves who were lured to Chang'an, and announced the next step of the Chang'an, Guanzhong, Tubo and Hebei rebels.

With the end of the court meeting, most of the officials returned to the palace located in the imperial city and continued to work.

The rest of the people were more unlucky, because their offices and offices were located outside the imperial city, such as the Kuniko Jian Liuxue in Honwubo.

Although the main workshop is only separated by a wall from the imperial city, the gate of the main workshop and the palace city of Chang'an will not be opened until the counterinsurgency in Chang'an City is completed and the thieves are completely eliminated.

For this part of the people, Li Chun will definitely not let them be idle, and an essay on Tubo has become their task.

The unlucky ones are not only their literati. Not everyone who participated in the Synodic Day had a position, such as those who had titles and official positions, but no ministry.

Of course, it is not entirely accurate to call these unfortunate nobles unemployed. Since Emperor Taishang took power, all the nobles who took the initiative to completely surrender to Emperor Taishang have occupied a place in the forbidden army and have re-become an important part of the Tang Empire.

Judging from the vigorous development of the Tang Dynasty today, judging from the performance of the emperor and the emperor's thirst for talents, there is only one reason why these old nobles have no office, that is, they are not trusted and are not loyal enough!

It stands to reason that within the situation deliberately created this time, they can also choose to become a member of the rebel group.

However, I don't know if I learned a lesson and saw the bright future of the Tang Dynasty, or if I have been completely out of temper by the Emperor Taishang, in the face of the deliberately created dangerous situation, this part of the old nobles neither participated in the rebellion, nor advocated the retreat of the capital, but chose to send their sons and nephews to the army.

This also proves their loyalty. No matter what they had done before, but this time they did it right, at least in Li Chun's mind, they were listed as someone they could trust.

For the emperor of Li Tang, although there is a lot of land in the Tang Dynasty, not an inch is superfluous, although there are many lords and titles in the Tang Dynasty, but none of them are for them to eat and wait for death.

The handsome nobles of the Tang Dynasty are not idlers, and since they have enjoyed the benefits brought by the lords and lords, they naturally need to advance and retreat with the Tang Dynasty.

Now that they have passed the test of loyalty, it is time to entrust them with a heavy responsibility.
