Section 7 The Great Purge
The first rays of dawn shè into the meeting hall of the zhōngyāng army.
The conference hall where more than 300 people gathered was silent.
The officers were pale and their eyes bloodshot, and no one had closed their eyes.
Overnight, they heard the shouts of the Far Eastern Army entering the city, the roar of horses' hooves, the fierce exchange of weapons, the screams of death, the announcement that Yang Minghua was dead, the cries of women, the cries and pleadings, the collapse of burning houses, the cries for help of civilians, and the angry scolding... There is also the gentle "breathing" sound of snowflakes falling on the ground.
And they, the commanders of the largest armed forces in Dìdū City, should be said to be the most powerful people in Dìdū City at this moment, but they could only listen with pale faces, not realizing that the power in their hands could completely turn the tide and dominate the fate of Dìdū and even the entire family......
Outside, the sound of neat marching in a neat procession, the sound of commands and shouts in the Far Eastern accent, the sound of horses' hooves of the cavalry troops, and the overwhelming sound of "long live" -- the Far Eastern troops had already marched into and controlled the base camp of the Zhìzhōngyāng army.
The originally pale face turned pale, and the eyes of the officers looking at Shikawa Xiu reminded Shikawa of a rabbit who saw a wolf.
Zi Chuanxiu nodded to them solemnly, meaning: Please rest assured, it will be fine.

A large crowd of soldiers poured in and surrounded the venue
Di Lin appeared at the door - after a night of fierce fighting, he looked like a strange jīng god, and his extremely feminine and beautiful face was stained with a few points of blood, and he looked very - "enchanting"!
Zi Chuanxiu greeted him and said with a smile: "Big brother, it's been a hard night's battle!" -- this is the first time in three years that he has publicly called Di Lin "big brother".
Di Lin smiled at Zichuan Xiu: "You too, Ah Xiu." Although Zichuan Xiu didn't do anything, the pressure on the gods was not necessarily easier than Di Lin.
"Ah Xiu, call your people out. ”
Waiting for Shirakawa and other Zichuan Xiu's subordinates to withdraw from the venue, Di Lin glanced contemptuously at the panicked zhōngyāng army officers and ordered: "Take it!"
The soldiers of the Far Eastern Army pounced on them like wolves, several against one, and tied up the officers of the Zhōngyāng Army who did not resist much - they did not resist when they could, and now there was no point in defending themselves.
※※※
Di Lin made a stop at zhōngyāng: "Now I read out the commander-in-chief's warrant:
"Zhōngyāng soldiers, you are in a high position, you have received a huge reward, and you are a high lord, you should have done your best to repay and be loyal to your family. Now yīn is attached to Yang Minghua, Lei Xun and other giant evil thieves, cruelty to loyalty, bullying the king and the country. What are the world's ungrateful, wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people more than Yuer?
In order to ensure the glory of the family's sacred eagle banner, Di Lin, the acting inspector general, was specially ordered to rectify the discipline of the zhōngyāng army and eliminate the remnants of the rebellious party, so as to ensure that the glorious reputation of the zhōngyāng army since His Royal Highness Yarime was not tarnished!

After reading the warrant, Di Lin waved his hand: "According to the order of the commander-in-chief, the officers of the zhōngyāng army followed Lei Xun to make trouble, and the crime was extremely heinous. This acting inspector general has ordered that all the zhōngyāng troops from the deputy banner and above will be executed!"
The room suddenly exploded, and the shouts of injustice shook the sky: "We have done nothing!"
"Lord Dilin, be gracious!"
"We just sat here last night. ”
Ge Xin's roar was the most astonishing: "Zi Chuanxiu, you dog thief! You dare to lie to us! Lao Tzu will not spare you if he is a ghost! You wait!"
※※※
Zi Chuanxiu stood aside, stunned, and hurriedly went up to Di Lin and said, "Big brother, they really didn't do anything. ”
"That's what the chief meant. ”
"But, they're really wronged..."
"Ah Xiu, you are really too naïve -- where is there any wrongdoing in the political struggle? The difference lies in the fact that some people die worthwhile and some die in vain. How can you be sure that none of them wants to avenge Yang Minghua? At that time, you and I will be the first to be unlucky!"
"They don't deserve to die..."
"Ah Xiu, after talking for a long time, you still don't understand: they are guilty of not doing anything!-they have the strength of more than 100,000 troops in their hands, but they are sitting there and watching the situation develop, watching the wind and watching the wind -- no matter which side wins, they will not let them go. If Yang Minghua wins, you go over and tell him, "Let's forget about the holidays and make friends!" Do you think he will let you go?"
Zichuan Xiu took a deep breath: "No matter what, I can't let them die: I swore to vouch for them!"
Di Lin sneered: "The oath, the oath was made to break it-don't tell me again, this is what the chief meant." ”
"The chief just called you to rectify, not to massacre!"
"Ah Xiu! As an official, you sometimes have to figure out what you want, and there are some things that the official doesn't need to write down in a clear place -- if it weren't for this reason, why would he ask me to rectify it? You just sit here, and he won't just give you an order?"
"I don't understand!
"Alright, Ah Xiu! Now I'm the Acting Inspector General, and I'm on a mission! Get out of the way!"
"Big brother!" Zi Chuanxiu wailed, and the hard-hearted Di Lin also softened.
"You wait for me for an hour, let me go to the chief to ask for clarification!"
"Ah Xiu, this is not good for your future, the chief will not like someone to speak for the traitor! Your boss, Director Goshan, has already said it, but as a result, she was dismissed from her position, saying that she is not firm in her position!"
"Big brother, after so many years, have I begged you? Give me an hour, please!"
Di Lin pondered for a while: "Okay! Just an hour--if the chief doesn't agree, you don't have to come back, this kind of scene is not beautiful after all." ”
Before the words fell, Zi Chuanxiu had already begun to run out, dropping a sentence: "Everyone rest assured, it will be fine!"
At the gate of the camp, he snatched a war horse led by a cavalryman and rushed in the direction of the governor's mansion.
※※※
In one night's work, the beautiful long street of Dìdū turned into a complete hell: the corpses were vicious in the beautiful and pure snow, and some streets even Zichuan Xiu could only advance by riding a horse through a thick pile of corpses...
Countless pillars of smoke were rising in the clear sky of dawn, and it was the burned houses...
Groups of rebels smashed shops and looted items at will. One of them saw Zi Chuan Xiu passing by, and he didn't care about his deputy commander's uniform, and wanted to stop him from robbing - his head had fallen to the ground in a flash of the knife.
From time to time, a woman's cry for help came from far and near: "Help!" There was even one who was even on the side of the road where Zi Chuanxiu was passing, and he had to dismount and drive away a few soldiers who were about to do beastly acts.
"Di Lin, what kind of soldiers are you bringing!" Zi Chuanxiu angrily recalled that when he was a general in the Far Eastern Army, the military discipline of the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army was so strict: if a commander passed by within five meters, he immediately jumped up and saluted, was polite to civilians, and it was strictly forbidden to plunder...
The current Di Lin's subordinates, not to mention soldiers, even can't even be the title of people!
※※※
Arriving at the governor's mansion, Zi Chuanxiu anxiously told the officer on duty that he wanted to see the commander-in-chief.
The officer didn't inform him, but promised to make an appointment for him: probably in two weeks. Recently, it is a special period, and the safety of the chief should be strengthened!
Zichuan Xiu was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, and he asked to see Sterling again.
Unfortunately, Lord Stirling had already gone out of the city to pursue and defeat the enemy.
Ren Zichuan Xiu begged and advised in every possible way to buy, intimidate, and coerce--the officer on duty seemed to be made of granite, but he refused to report for him--Finally, he called a few guards to drive the entangled Zichuan Xiu out of the governor's mansion!
Zichuan Xiu exhaled deeply, there was no way, there was only that.
※※※
Standing in front of the Governor's Mansion, Zichuan Xiu Lang spoke: "Deputy Director of the Family Administration Department, active deputy commander, the former chief gave the surname Zichuan Singxiu, I want to see the Chief Zichuan Sanxing, there is an urgent matter to report!"
The words that were not loud but full of true qi spread to every corner of the vast governor's mansion, and a large number of Praetorian Guards poured out from the gate, surrounding him in the middle and about to make a move......
A voice came from inside: "Chief Xuan Zichuan Xiujin!"
The guards got out of the way.
