Volume 5 Jiangnan Four Hundred and Eighty Temple Chapter 517 The End of the Su Clan (Final)
Countless Su family members died because the officers and soldiers failed to come to the rescue.
Because on weekdays, they have not bought off relevant people, etc., almost all the officers and generals at the level of brigade commanders in Suzhou have received their benefits, and many of them are even children of the Su family.
But what they don't know is that this mutation that swept the entire Suzhou and targeted the Su family did not only occur in the Su family's mansion and his family's shop houses, but also in various military camps.
Even if it happened in the barracks, the attack on the Su family was even earlier than the changes in the city.
Just after noon, Su Wenkang was slashed to the head by Sun Ning, and after the Wu family had to choose to completely turn against the Su family and start a war, Sun Ning said one of his thoughts.
"Lord Wu, what we want to do is to get rid of the Su family's thugs who are the troublemakers, not to disturb the whole of Suzhou, I think you should think the same thing as me on this point, right?"
"That's right." Wu Tieyi nodded approvingly.
"In this way, if you want to destroy the Su family, in addition to not being surprised, more importantly, you have to cut off its backup, that is, the soldiers and horses in the city. Otherwise, once we attack the Su clan with great fanfare, within half an hour, the soldiers and horses in the city will be killed in time, and even if we want Suzhou to be chaotic, we will not be able to do it. ”
These words really reminded the father and son of the Wu family, making their expressions more and more solemn: "Then what do you say, what should be done to avoid such a thing from happening?" ”
"It's very simple, before we make a move against the Su family, we will first completely control the military camp." Sun Ning took it for granted, but the father and son of the Wu family looked embarrassed: "This is impossible!" ”
"Not to mention that now the soldiers and horses of the various battalions in Suzhou are stationed at their respective gates, it is impossible for us to take them all together without disturbing the other battalions. Even the battalion owners, generals, generals and others are not so easy to deal with, especially since many of them have a deep relationship with the Su family, and they can't even buy them. ”
"Then you don't have to buy it, just launch a mutiny!" Sun Ning didn't even blink an eye, and quickly gave his own countermeasures, "As long as those loyal to the Su family are unprepared, eradicate them one by one, or detain them, then the remaining ordinary soldiers will naturally not have any more trouble." ”
After listening to his suggestion, the Wu family's father and son suddenly moved in their hearts, feeling that this may not be impossible to implement.
As a wealthy family in Suzhou that competes with the Su family, the Wu family's influence in the army is actually equivalent to that of the Su family.
Among the battalions, the generals and leaders in power are almost equally divided between these two forces, and most of them are you and me, and I have you.
Perhaps the Su family in one of the two battalions is more powerful, while the Wu family in the other two battalions has a deeper influence, but in general, there is still a certain balance between the two sides.
Therefore, when one side is really desperate to launch a surprise attack, it is really possible to quickly control the entire military camp without the other party's defense.
Because the barracks are actually the same as the people, the real masters are only those officers who hold the power, and ordinary officers and men just follow orders and have few tendencies. As long as the vast majority of people who take the Su family as the leader of the horse are eliminated, the power of the military camp will naturally fall into the hands of the Wu family.
This loophole, the Wu family and the Su family may have thought of it in the past, but one does not have this opportunity and necessity, and the other has some concerns about how to end it after all-after all, this kind of practice does break the unspoken rules that have always been always, even if it succeeds, I am afraid that it will attract criticism and hostility from other forces.
You must know that although there are only two families in Suzhou, there are eight other wealthy families in the entire south of the Yangtze River.
Once it really provokes the anger of the public, causing the family to face the condemnation of the eight families, the consequences will be too serious and the gains outweigh the losses.
Therefore, the Wu family and the Su family have never really implemented the practice of completely tearing their faces apart.
Today, however, the situation is clearly different.
Because what the Su family did completely broke through the bottom line that the two families had always retained, the Hanshan Temple alone made the two families an undying enmity, and also pushed the Su family to the opposite side of other wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River.
This made it natural for the Wu family to take another risk to seize military power, and they no longer had any worries.
"Just do as you say!" It was Wu Cang who responded, but when he said this, the old man looked at Sun Ning with a little more doubt and scrutiny in his eyes.
But now, he couldn't take care of these details, and immediately called the most trustworthy old servant around him to give careful instructions.
So, just half an hour later, the change in the barracks was the first to happen.
With the Wu family as the commander of a battalion, he directly ordered to summon those officers under the name of the Su family into his account, saying that he wanted to discuss military affairs.
Then, taking advantage of their unpreparedness, they smashed the cup with one hand as a signal, and killed all the cadres and others with many swords and axes outside the tent.
Then use their heads to bomb the soldiers below, so as to stabilize the entire military camp.
As for the military camps with the Su family as the main generals, they changed slightly, went to report the military situation as a general, and then suddenly launched an assassination......
Just as the Su family in the city did not expect to be attacked by the Wu family at all, these Su family members in the barracks were also unprepared for this.
It wasn't until the steel knives stabbed into their chests that they reacted, this was the Wu family's complete attack on their own family.
But then we knew it was too late.
And with the killing of all these generals who could really command the actions of their subordinates, the five battalions of Suzhou fell into the control of the Wu family.
For those low-level soldiers, it doesn't matter who is in charge, as long as their own interests are not damaged.
Although there were also some soldiers who were loyal to the Su family, after losing the main general above, these small number of soldiers scattered throughout the battalion could not make any waves at all, and they were soon suppressed by the Wu family, who had been prepared for a long time, and no one was left.
It was precisely because the Wu family took the first step to control the city's barracks under Sun Ning's reminder that this led to chaos in the entire Suzhou, and the Su family suffered a tragedy, and no soldiers and horses came to the rescue.
In the end, when the time came to the third watch, the Su family's mansion was completely engulfed in flames, except for a few lucky people who were able to escape, hundreds of Su family members were wiped out.
This has been based in Suzhou for hundreds of years, and even more than the Dayue Imperial Court has to rescue here, with this riot, a fire, and completely become the history of Suzhou, it is impossible to reproduce!
And when these news were reported to the Taishou Mansion one after another, Sun Ning just smiled softly, and Taishou Yan Zhongjing seemed to be happy and worried, and he became more and more uneasy when he looked at it.
Only Gu Yaowu, who seemed to have nothing to do with everything in Suzhou, looked at Sun Ning carefully at this time, looking thoughtful.
