Chapter 484: Dramatic Bombing of the Camp, Ridiculous Assassin Killing
In the cold winter wax moon, how cold the water in the capital is, the inner servants who know the freezing of the Yuhe River every day are the most clear.
No one would have thought that in the Forbidden City, under the surface of the Royal River, there would be people who could withstand the biting cold and secretly touch the palace along the river under the palace wall.
How many people are underwater, and how many people have been touched in the palace, Liu Xianglian still doesn't know, but he never underestimates the defensive power in the palace.
In the whole of Great Xia, the most trouble-prone place is the imperial palace, but the safest place is also the imperial palace.
Assassination or something, the three guards in charge of the palace defense are commonplace, but as long as the royal driver is in the palace, let the assassin fly the eaves and walk the wall, he can't get close to the emperor's body.
"Head, there's an assassin!"
"Make a fuss, silence, don't disturb the holy driver. Go and report to Eunuch Xia and Governor Cao Dudu......"
Liu Xianglian raised her hand to stop her subordinates at the moment of exclamation, and a hint of sneer appeared on her cold face, and then she whispered: "In addition, if you meet the prince of Rongguo or the Marquis of Yongfeng, remember to tell them." The junior is too underestimated to look down on me and other imperial guards, and dare to assassinate in the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve! β
It's no wonder that Liu Xianglian doesn't take assassins seriously, it's really that the three guards in front of the emperor are too strong, not to mention Yu Linlang, who is at the ceiling of Daxia's combat power.
Assassinate? This is simply a walking military feat!
Soon, Cao Jiugong, the governor of the Left Army and the commander of the Dragon Guard, came in person.
Liu Xianglian didn't go anywhere, so she stayed at the critical place of the royal road from the three major halls to the Great Xia Gate. After a while, the nobles in the palace will follow this royal road to the Great Summer Gate to have fun with the people and enjoy the fireworks show tonight.
When the time comes, it will be the time to close the door and fight the dogs, and as the general on duty tonight, what he has to do is to protect the two saints and the nobles, and as for the matter of catching the assassins, just leave it to the people under him.
"Erlang, how's it going?"
Liu Xianglian clasped her fists and responded: "There are twenty-three people who have been found out, and this will be hiding in a side hall in the Dragon Head Palace." Yu Linlang came with news from there, so that the last general would be silent and plan to catch turtles in the urn once, mainly to see who these people should be in the palace. β
"What is expected, there is no internal response, how can they be so familiar with the waterways and paths in the palace."
Cao Jiugong, as the "spy leader" of the dynasty, not only did he not rush to arrest people when he heard that an assassin had infiltrated the imperial city, but squinted his eyes, held his hands, and "lay cross-legged" beside the royal road like a big cat, and started gossiping with Liu Xianglian.
However, the immobility of the leader does not mean that the minions do not move.
At this time, the imperial city had moved to the Great Xia Gate in the Holy Driver, and the inner city began to compile a large net, composed of Yu Linlang, the Dragon Guard, and the soldiers of the three great masters in front of the emperor to form a three-layer search circle, constantly compressing the scope of the assassin's activities.
The two saints, the crown prince and the concubines, princes and princesses all went to the Great Xia Gate through the three major palaces and royal roads, and the civil and military officials and the officials and dependents of the various prefectures also went together.
Of those people, however, two did not go with them. Instead, when the sky was lit up by fireworks, he came to the palace gate of Fengzao Palace.
Jia Cong untied the imperial short sword that had always hung on his waist and stuffed it into Daiyu's hand.
"It's unlikely that the Assassins will be able to come here, but be careful. I'll leave some people outside the Fengzao Palace, and if something happens, you can have someone call them. β
The little prince was infected with a cold a few days ago, and it was freezing this day, where did he let the little doll go to the palace wall to blow the cold wind, and Yuan Chun stayed in Fengzao Palace to take care of his son.
When the emperor heard that an assassin had infiltrated the palace, his heart was not only not angry, but full of ridicule.
When the fireworks lit up the night sky, there were several regulars of the palace banquet on the tower of the Great Xia Gate who did not appear, and even the old man Zhang Yue, who had already retired half-retired, did not appear.
There are a few sharp-eyed and nimble people who have doubts in their hearts, and the most lively Zhongshun King Liu Ke and Rongguo Gong Jia Yu are not standing on the city tower.
There are also Princess Wen'an and son-in-law Jia Cong, the goddaughter of the emperor, who have not come until now, which is really a strange thing.
β¦β¦
There were six guards stationed outside the capital with a total of 150,000 troops under the Beijing camp, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, most of the men and horses remained in the barracks, maintaining a semi-alert state.
When the sky above the capital continued to flicker with sparks, somewhere in the corner of the camp, a dozen or so people were gathering in a dimly lit room, stimulated by the drink, from the initial whispering gradually rising to the shouting.
"We're fighting to the death on the battlefield, for what? It's not for the sake of sealing his wife and son, and leaving an official son and son for his children and grandchildren who receive silver. But now the emperor Lao Tzu wants to use us to give him his own good name, what is the matter! β
"But no, seeing that I was about to retreat, I originally thought that my evil obstacle could attack my hundred household officials, and it was not in vain that Lao Tzu had fought for more than ten years. Alas, it's all fate! Who called me this Liu and other people's Liu is not an ancestor, those sour Confucians have a saying called what, Liu Men wine and meat stink, and there are frozen dogs on the road! β
"It's Zhumen's wine and meat, and there are frozen bones on the road, Lao Liu, don't drag the text if you are a big old man."
"That's what my unruly son told me, and lo and behold, even you know it's a mistake, so you can see that he is not the material for reading at all. I can't read and read, and I feel tired of practicing martial arts, so I said what can I do? Without the resignation, what will he use to support himself in the future! β
Boom!
The more he talked, the more angry he became, and suddenly someone in the room poured a sip of wine and smashed the jar to the ground.
The dark-faced bearded man got up abruptly and scolded his mother, and even picked up his saber and walked out.
The drinking friend on the side grabbed him: "Old Black, what are you doing?" β
The black man was obviously a little dazed, and shouted: "Why do they eat and drink spicy food, and they still want to take away our officials and the future of our children and grandchildren." Go to his mother's country, go to his mother's people's livelihood, what does it have to do with me, a rough person who can only pick a big knife? I don't care, whoever wants to take away my family's position, I will fight with whomever I want. Isn't Emperor Lao Tzu enjoying some fireworks? It just so happens that I want to ask him, let's bleed hard for his country, does he treat me and other martial artists like this? β
Bang bang bang~
If you drink too much alcohol, your brain will be easily confused, but your courage will become a lot bigger.
Almost seventy or eighty percent of the dozen or so people in the room were already dissatisfied, and they smashed the wine jar in their hands on the ground.
"Lao Hei, I'll go with you! The law does not blame the public, and the emperor has to be reasonable, right? β
"And the amount, the amount will also go. After coming out of Shaanxi for so many years, it's rare to go back once during the New Year, isn't it just thinking about taking this cheap life and fighting for a future for the baby......"
After the group of people came out of the house scolding, they shouted and cursed all the way, and soon many people followed behind.
Before they reached the gate of the camp, thousands of people had already gathered, so that the forbidden army patrolling thought that the camp had been bombed.
The commander on duty came out to appease him in person, but he couldn't stop the people who wanted to enter Beijing to "reason" with the emperor, but they were coerced by everyone and came to the outside of the gate.
Seeing that he was about to stage a scene of "bombing the camp and admonishing the soldiers", he saw a few torches not far away, escorting a carriage with lanterns slowly approaching.
The sound of horses' hooves clattered on everyone's restless hearts, and the bright red cloak hunted like the wind.
The cavalryman stopped in front of the crowd, and the sound of the horse's nose spewed out a hot breath.
Hum!
"The British public order to inspect the Beijing camp, and you will not retreat to the side!"
When the carriage stopped, a torch lantern at the gate illuminated a carriage.
"The Red Gold Imperial Rim! It's a holy drive! β
Don't look at the only few people who guard the carriage, but the carriage is the emperor's royal chariot, and the people who come down are wearing python robes and jade belts, majestic and impressive.
Before yesterday, the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, the Taibao, the Zuo Zhuguo, the envoy of the Jingying Festival, and the founding auxiliary of the country, the British Duke Zhang Yue, stood at the gate and coldly glanced at the group of drunken generals who were making trouble.
"I don't know who I am after drinking some horse urine, I don't even know what the national policy is, and if I am provoked a little, I dare to cause such a big ...... to Lao Tzu"
The prestige of the British Duke in the army is unrivaled, and when Jia Daishan was alive, he had to respectfully call him brother.
What's more, the generals and captains of the Beijing camp were basically soldiers under the old man.
The old man's words were only halfway through, and in an instant, their drunkenness was scared away, and one by one they turned into quails, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads without saying a word.
Only the coerced commander was the same as the coerced commander, who was disheveled in front of the people, and almost cried.
"The handsome, the last general ......"
Without waiting for this person to speak, Zhang Yue snatched the whip of his own soldier and threw it violently.
Syllable~
"Waste, Lao Tzu's face has been lost by you! When will the generals of the Beijing camp no longer be able to control the men and horses under their command? Get down, Twenty Sticks! β
Although he was whipped and had to take the initiative to accept military punishment, this man breathed a sigh of relief.
It's steady, Dashuai is saving his life!
Zhang Yue didn't pay attention to the others, only took a step forward, and just now he was clamoring to go to the capital to find the emperor and the old man to reason, and they took a step back.
The old man took another step forward, and everyone took another step back.
At this time, no one dared to step out of the gate anymore......
At the same time, the battalions of Shenwu, Shenwei, left and right Weiwei, and left and right Wuwei all ushered in a certain big man.
The sky above the Forbidden City was constantly lit up with fireworks, but the camps outside the city were rumbling with war drums.
Because the barracks were a little relaxed during the New Year, as if they were about to face a big war, the generals gathered and drummed down, and all the soldiers who stayed in the camp were concentrated.
A person with ill intentions who provoked everywhere was found out, ordered the military method of the big man on the stage to warm wine, and stabilized the morale of the army in the shortest possible time with iron-blooded means.
The pardon lord is more ruthless than the British duke, and his methods are extremely ruthless.
He not only beheaded their commanders in front of Zuo Weiwei's army, but also beheaded 28 generals with more than 100 households in a row, and then ordered a group of soldiers and horses, according to the map, and followed the clues to more than ten mansions inside and outside the capital.
β¦β¦
Since the fifth year of Yuan You, except for the occasional small disturbance in the harem, there are few fools to challenge Yang Niangniang's female power.
By the time Zhen was banned, the drama of Gong Dou had almost disappeared, but the Sixth Palace had a harmonious scene of hello, hello, everyone, and hello.
But on the last night of the tenth year of Yuan You, the harem, which had been quiet for a long time, was like a big stone thrown at it, and the waves stirred up quickly developed into an earth-shattering tsunami from a small ripple at the beginning.
A corner of the Dragon Head Palace has been stained scarlet with blood, and Shimazu Kumi, the lord of the Satsuma Domain of the Japanese Kingdom, who had been favored by the Emperor Taishang for a few days, was dragged by two strong grandmothers and thrown in front of Jia Cong.
"The Japanese are really dogs who can't change their, do you really think that what kind of ninjutsu of yours can fight against the swords and guns of the Celestial Empire? Let's talk about who else is involved in this! β
Shimazu Kumi turned out to be the internal response of this group of assassins, which surprised Jia Cong.
But surprise is surprise, what virtue does the Japanese have, and Jia Cong is not surprised by what he does.
This kind of naΓ―ve and stupid assassination can only be imagined by the kind of brains of the Japanese people.
"Despicable and shameless Han people, the words on the covenant still have the fragrance of ink, and you have betrayed your allies and brutalized our people in my hometown......"
Well? Is there something wrong with this man's brain?
When did Bactria form an alliance with the Satsuma Domain?
Jia Cong scratched his brain, and after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't remember what alliance the Celestial Empire had signed with the Satsuma Domain.
"Reita...... I'll call you Concubine Li. β
Jia Cong asked puzzledly: "If Benhou is not mistaken, it was your Satsuma Domain who went to the Celestial Empire for help, and the Celestial Empire also sold you advanced firearms, so that you have the strength to resist the attack of the Northern Domain." The saint also canonized you as a concubine, made you Satsuma Clan an in-law of the Celestial Empire, and let you enjoy conveniences that others can't......"
"Even if His Royal Highness King Jing surveyed the rebellion of the Wa Kingdom, he gave you Satsuma Domain several chances, as long as the people of your Shimazu family are willing to submit to the Celestial Empire, not to mention the prince of the prince, it is more than enough to be a county man, and the people of the Satsuma Domain can also enjoy the treatment of second-class nationals of the Satsuma Domain......"
"But your actions today are a great disrespect to the Celestial Empire, a betrayal to the saint and His Majesty, and it is to punish the Nine Clans!"
"Ben Hou is very curious, who gave you the courage, who gave you the delusion, would be stupid to think that with these twenty stinky fish and rotten shrimp, you can get close to the saint and Your Majesty, and what kind of false revenge can you stab the king and kill the driver?"
Shimazu Kumi became even more crazy after hearing Jia Cong's question, and she gritted her teeth and scolded: "You devil, don't think that I can't hear the news from the outside in the palace." You Han people have taken women from our country and put them up for public auction like goods, and you Han people are allowed to abuse and insult them. Poor Japanese women must be living a miserable life without clothes and food at this time......"
Jia Cong was so noisy that his brain hurt, he rubbed his eyebrows and glanced at the crazy woman with disdain.
So it's because of this? This man is stupid!
The Satsuma Domain, which will be this one, has been "ravaged" by King Yasu's army.
This killing god is ruthless, not to mention Concubine Li's maiden family, even when the old man sends the decree to start lightly, he can understand that leaving a whole corpse is even if he Liu Yi is merciful.
Of course, the women of the Satsuma clan were still very moist, and the soldiers were very satisfied that the commander was worried about the succession of the ancestors for them, and they were very satisfied with the Japanese concubines who were rewarded, and at the same time, they were even more ruthless to the Japanese men who had always oppressed the Japanese women.
Jia Cong knew these things, but he would not think that mercy in the war was a good thing, and in contrast, it would be more in line with the interests of the Celestial Empire to be ruthless.
"Who told you that the widow who came to the Celestial Empire had a bad time? Forget it, if you talk to a brainless person like you, you will feel that your IQ has been insulted! Come on, drag it down, and wait for the saint to fall! β
Those widows who came to the Celestial Empire would like to bring their mothers and sisters who are still in their hometown, and they will have sweet and delicious meals, warm and thick clothes, and a beautiful life every day.
I think that at the beginning, they couldn't even eat a meal in the Japanese country, and they became the abandoned sons of the Japanese men at every turn......
The Celestial Empire rescued the Japanese women, and I can't wait for the king to quickly settle the Japanese kingdom and let the poor women of the Japanese kingdom bathe in the blessings of the Holy Son of Heaven!
This is what Jia Cong heard with his own ears from the mouth of a poor widow.
Jia Cong was too lazy to talk nonsense with the widow concubine who was already crazy, so he left a sentence and was about to turn around and leave.
But Shimazu Kumi didn't believe these words, and when she saw that Jia Cong no longer paid attention to her, she screamed even more madly.
"Jia Cong, I know, everything is because of you, you have hated us widows from the beginning!"
"So, I just can't kill the Liu family's devil father and son, and I want you to feel the pain of losing your loved ones!"
"Hahaha, don't you want to get a clue from me, wait, tomorrow your Jia family can hang white flags!"
