On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.

When Jia Mu, Xing, Wang's two wives and You Shi and others received the queen's reward from the palace, the time had come to the beginning of the unitary time.

The sky is dark, and the lights are on.

The servants of the two governments shuttled back and forth, counting all kinds of lanterns, and illuminating the huge Guogong Mansion.

What a lively and noisy scene!

Today in the palace, Emperor Chengde appointed Yuan Chun as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, and added the title of virtuous concubine, ranking higher than the first rank of the court, ranking before the concubines of the harem, and it was the concubine of the harem!

His biological father Jia Zheng was promoted to Langzhong of the Ministry of Industry by Emperor Chengde because of Yuanchun's concubine, and now he is also a dignified Sipin Beijing official, and the leader of the Dushui Qing Division.

Therefore, after returning home, the smile on Jia Zheng's face was confiscated.

Even when asking Jia Baoyu about his homework, his tone was extraordinarily soft and soothing, if it weren't for the fact that he had to hit Jia Baoyu with a board later, everyone almost thought that he was a different person.

At this point, Yuan Chun sealed the concubine.

In the two mansions of Ning Rong, except for Jia Baoyu, who was almost beaten because of poor homework, the rest of the people were all happy.

……

After the Lantern Festival.

Jia Cong once again resumed his life at three o'clock and one line, getting up early every day to go to the camp to train the troops, deal with many matters in the Beijing camp, and then return home in the evening.

Of course, it is indispensable for Emperor Chengde to summon him from time to time.

Because Jia Cong's soul comes from later generations, the starting point of some of his concepts and strategies is often beyond the expectations of Emperor Chengde, but it is novel but effective.

In addition to all things in the army, and even in some local civil affairs, Jia Cong also gave a lot of useful suggestions to Emperor Chengde.

This also led to more frequent summonses that followed.

After Jia Cong reacted, he was anxious at the time, is it okay to work overtime without a salary increase?

Isn't this pure prostitution?

Have that time, go home and play with Xue Baochai for a while, isn't it fragrant?

So it started the next day.

Jia Cong's time of disbanding suddenly became erratic, and after calling the little yellow gate who came to summon him a few times, he understood that Chengde Diden was a little crying and laughing.

And because of this.

In the follow-up summons, Emperor Chengde would ask Jia Cong to bring some food or something back from time to time, regardless of whether the things were worth or not.

Anyway, Jia Cong's bad habit of indefinite off-duty hours is gone.

Time has passed in such a flash......

…………

In February of the thirteenth year of Chengde, the second dragon raised its head.

In the whistling north wind, a scorching flame ignited in Bazhou.

this day.

In the villages where many horse farmers are raised, the smell of boiled horse meat wafts from every household, and the horses that have been fed for a long time but do not meet the "standards" of Taifu Temple are directly slaughtered and thrown into the pot.

A bitterly cold night.

There are still a large number of horseback riders running on the way to the surrounding villages.

Under their tandem encouragement, people who were about to lose their lives, families on the verge of despair, and villages that had become sparsely populated all rose up after hearing the news.

Thereupon.

With their home-bred horses in the saddle and their weapons sharpened, these peasants with vegetables on their faces were transformed into crappy cavalrymen!

One to ten, ten to hundred......

In just a few days from the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the rebel contingent, which originally consisted of only six or seven people, grew rapidly to several thousand people in response to the response of the local poor people.

The banner of rebellion has been raised!

…………

On the third day of the first month of March, on the festival of self-righteousness, the purification (f) is removed from the side bath.

It was still dawn in the east.

The city gate of Bazhou was already full of people waiting to enter the city.

And it wasn't until the sun rose in the east that the soldiers guarding the gate didn't heh

Holding on to the cold air, he stomped his feet and worked together to push open the cold city gate and let the people at the city gate enter.

However, it didn't take long.

One of the soldiers looked at the influx of people and wondered, "Why are so many people coming into the city this morning? It's a little weird!"

Hearing this, the soldiers next to him also reacted.

After thinking about it for a while, he was surprised: "If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have noticed that three or four hundred people would have entered the city just a moment after the door opened, right?"

The other soldiers laughed with their spears, "Isn't it a heavy third today, maybe you're here to catch up with the temple fair?"

The former suddenly said, "I see."

But what they didn't expect was that when the soldier from earlier was suspicious, the crowd that swarmed in slowly stopped.

Then a pair of eyes stared at him in unison.

"It's going to be bad!"

The captain of the soldiers trembled in his heart, and pulled down the bronze whistle hanging around his neck.

Just about to blow.

"Poof".

Dou Da's head rose to the sky, and the hot blood splashed the soldiers next to him all over their faces.

"Brothers, rush in with me! Kill the dog!"

Liu Chong shouted reluctantly, grabbed the long knife drawn from the firewood burden, and struck the soldier next to the captain to death, and the accomplices around him also had a flat scythe.

On the city wall, before the soldiers on patrol could react, the soldiers at the city gate were quickly killed by Liu Pet and Liu Chen, and the city gate was lost.

The faces of the soldiers on the city wall changed drastically.

Decades of stable life have already made these soldiers completely lose the awakening they should have as soldiers, and they have also lost their basic blood as soldiers.

At this time, facing the group of fierce-faced "mud legs" below, the old men of the government soldiers did not react immediately, which gave Liu Pet the opportunity to operate, and also covered the last coffin board for himself.

Liu Pet and the others set fire to several houses at the gate of the city, and thick smoke and flames instantly rose into the sky.

The gong on the city wall sounded belatedly.

In the distance, the rebel army who took advantage of the night and quietly rushed to the vicinity got the signal, so they drew their knives and mounted their horses one after another, and quickly rushed to the direction of the Bazhou City Gate.

The sound of horses' hooves approached.

Only then did the lieutenant of the government remember to go down and seize the city gate, but it was too late.

Liu Zhong and others desperately blocked the attack of the government soldiers in one fell swoop, and after a while, the sound of the hooves of the rebel army had rushed to the city wall.

What Liu Chong and his entourage never expected was that in the face of the cavalry charge, the captain directly abandoned the city wall and fled directly to the rear with a group of cronies.

Yes, just ran away.

Seeing the originally honest and submissive faces, and the hideous faces of the generals killed, this pampered captain was terrified.

How important is it to defend the city?

Surrender without a fight!

And seeing that their master was about to escape, the only trace of fighting spirit of the government soldiers disappeared without a trace, and they threw their weapons indiscriminately, and immediately scattered as birds and beasts.

Those who really couldn't escape also knelt down and begged to surrender in the encirclement of the rebel army.

The government soldiers of Chengping for decades were vulnerable in front of the crazy rebel army, and under the offensive of internal and external attacks, the city wall of Bazhou did not hold even an hour.

Bazhou, this is a change of hands!
