The street fighting in the capital was fierce.

The rebels in the eastern part of the city were mainly conservative scholars, some of the Jingying, and the families of Chengguo Gong and the conservative ministers, with more than 20,000 people.

There were also a bunch of big slaves and maids waving flags and shouting, and the streets were full of rebels.

After a limited expansion of the Imperial Horse Guard's Teng Xiang Guard, there were only 6,000 men in total, and their combat strength and equipment were no less than that of the new army, and they could not deal with these rebels under normal circumstances.

But after hearing that the Emperor of the Apocalypse had died, even the elite such as Tengxiang Siwei had a sharp drop in morale.

At this time, the British public Zhang Weixian couldn't take care of the east and the west, so he could only shrink his forces and retreat while fighting. After seeing a large number of rebels approaching the imperial city, they were also very worried about the safety of the crown prince.

At this critical moment, Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, Wei Liangqing, Suning Bo, Gu Bingqian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, and Fu Zonglong, the squire of the Ministry of War, rushed to support with a group of loyal ministers and limited family members.

Wei Liangqing said, "There is good news and bad news, which one does the British public want to hear?"

"It's all this time, what's the sale, let's talk about it quickly."

"The good news is that Marquis Dingyuan's subordinate Meng Biao and others are already mobilizing forces that can be mobilized, and they are in contact with Marquis Dingyuan, and the army is returning to help. Just keep going and win."...

"Good!" Everyone was happy.

"But there is still bad news, Tongzhou and along the Grand Canal, the families of the current dignitaries and nobles, as well as the guards of the major salt merchants, have all been under the false edict of King Xin, denouncing my uncle and the British Duke and the Marquis of Dingyuan."

"Humph! It's time for these guys to raid their homes!" Zhang Weixian ordered: "Divide half of the troops to support the palace at any cost, protect the prince with all your might, and drag the enemy here first."

"Yes!"

Although the combat power of the Imperial Horse Supervisor is far stronger than that of the Beijing camp, there are too many rebels in the east of the city, and after the division of the four guards of Tengxiang, they only have the power to defend.

Fortunately, the palace immediately divided troops to support.

Cheng Guogong's family members are not only well-equipped, but also have a lot of training time and good food, and they are all strong and strong, which is very powerful.

The Imperial Horse Warden could not fight them head-on, and the number was too small to rely on the palace walls and the courtyard walls of the houses to defend them, and the inner palace was the last place they defended.

The two sides shot at each other, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was the emperor's direct force, Liu Ruoyu, who managed the Ordnance Bureau, equipped the Imperial Horse Supervisor with a flintlock pistol, and the rebels only had a fire gun in Beijing.

The rebels couldn't get in this time.

The rebels took turns in battle, and reserve personnel were also brought in.

At the critical moment, Wei Liangqing and Meng Biao mobilized the citizens of Beijing, new students, and workers of the Ordnance Bureau, bicycle factory, coal factory, canning factory, and steam boiler factory to arm themselves with the guns of the Ordnance Bureau.

Meng Biao was born in the military, and usually trains the young people of his enterprises according to Wang Hongyu's reserve militia, and when he encounters real guns and cannons, he can really get started, and there are 3,000 flintlock guns, which are easy to learn to use.

The key is that most of these people are literate technicians, and the fire gun is a little more troublesome, and there are many smart people, one to ten, ten to hundred, and they will soon be used.

There are many large and small cannons of all kinds of Fulong machine guns, tiger squat guns, and attack guns, especially the tiger squat cannons, which are especially loved by these workers.

When the citizens saw that these workers were going to join the war, they all helped to build barricades, help cook and deliver water, transport ammunition and equipment, and some even volunteered to sign up for the Workers' and Peasants' Guard.

The workers' townsfolk forces soon entered the positions and fought the rebels.

Now inside the imperial city are the Jinyi guards and the imperial horse guard, outside the imperial city are the rebels besieging the city, and the outermost is Wei Liangqing and Meng Biao leading the citizens of the capital, new students, as well as the ordnance bureau and the workers' militia of the enterprise.

In the past, the militia rarely used to shoot live ammunition in training, but it was expressly forbidden in the capital, and they could only go to a specially set up shooting range to shoot live ammunition, and only when the militia practiced live ammunition did they have the opportunity.

In fact, many workers are subordinate to Wang Hongyu's command and have military training in addition to production and construction.

Wu Shengchang, a third-level craftsman of the watch factory, is the core technician of the watch factory, and it is time of crisis

Fight with the workers.

He still remembers the first time he had to shoot a target, according to the instructor's instructions, he could be loaded in a few breaths of training, and that time he loaded seven or eight breaths, listening to the left and right "touch!" Touch! Touch! ~".

At first, my head was sweating and my hands were shaking. But the first shot hit a big rebel in the back, and the hit was a bit off, and if he had changed to a thinner rebel, he might have missed the target again.

The second shot was aimed at a guy who kept changing positions and shooting arrows, which was not a good target. If the first shot misses, the guy will definitely lie down and never have a chance to hit him again.

That's right! The instructor has demonstrated how to shoot moving targets, and if you have to have an advance amount, then you should shoot it according to the advance amount. "Bump!" As soon as the gun rang out, the archer, who was constantly moving and transposing, died.

Wu Shengchang hit more and more smoothly, and there was no missing shot. When he killed five rebels, someone in the back handed him a loaded musket, only to realize that there were two people who had loaded for him, and he just had to shoot.

Wu Shengchang became a marksman, killing more than 60 rebels in one day, and the statistician registered that he divided the battle record equally with the other two, and each of them was calculated according to the killing of 22 rebels, because there was a reward, he couldn't take it alone.

Marksmen like Wu Shengchang are increasing every day, others are also rapidly improving their marksmanship, the rebels are breaking records for casualties every day, and more and more rebels are fleeing in makeup.

Tens of thousands of militiamen participated in the battle, which suddenly relieved the pressure on the Imperial Horse Supervisor and always maintained the position.

The workers and new scholars who rushed to the sky became more and more courageous, and they also killed Ye Xianggao, the former leader of the Donglin Party.

The rebels in the eastern part of the city were suppressed by the workers, and ten days later the rebels were driven out of the capital.

Wang Hongyu led the Hunhe Army and the Guanning Iron Cavalry to return to the capital, surpassing the historical Manchu marching speed and exceeding the marching speed of the Qijia army.

Zhu Chunchen couldn't believe his ears, and after hearing the news, he thought it was fake.

As a result, as soon as he came back to his senses, Yuan Chonghuan escorted Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, and ran away first.

He was surrounded by Wang Hongyu, Wei Zhongxian, and Zhang Weixian inside and outside the capital, and was finally captured alive.

Yuan Chonghuan escorted Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, but fled south along the Grand Canal. Rendezvous with Yang Sichang in Jining, gathered the forces of the magnates and salt merchants to try to resist stubbornly, but was defeated by the cavalry of Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui in a battle.

Yuan Chonghuan wore several layers of armor, but he couldn't block the impact of Guan Ning's iron cavalry.

Zhao Shujiao cut off his head with a knife.

Lu Xiangsheng also led the construction army of Yunyang, Xiangyang, and Kaifeng to intercept and kill the rebels, although he did not stop Zhu Youzhen, but intercepted the back half of the rebels, and killed Yang Sichang with his own hands.

They all got their revenge by mistake.

Zhu Youzhen fled to Yangzhou in a hurry with tens of thousands of remnants of the army, and now he can only lead the army of the Jiangnan clan north to King Qin.
