"Bang!"

A crisp gunshot interrupted the hustle and bustle on Hulong Street in Suzhou.

The street on Hulong, which was still noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at the "Da Ming Aobai" who was holding a musket pistol.

Although the marksmanship of "Da Ming Aobai" is very bad, the bullet does not know where to fly. But Wang Yongkang, who was shot and didn't hit, was still frightened!

Moreover, he soon found that there were many black holes with muzzles aimed at him!

It turned out that at least one-third of the people under the hands of "Da Ming Aobai" were equipped with shotguns! , when they set off just now, these shotguns set fire on fire, and now they are all raised to aim at Wang Yongkang to fight!

Wang Yongkang was scared to pee at this time, just now "Da Ming Aobai" shot him with a pistol, the pistol accuracy is very poor, and there is only one, it is not strange that he can't hit. And now there are twenty or thirty shotguns pointed at him. If this is done, must he be beaten into a sieve?

However, Wang Yongkang's battlefield felt good, and he subconsciously lay on the horse's back, and easily whipped the horse under his crotch a few times with a horsewhip. The horse was beaten for no reason, screamed a few times, spread its hooves, and galloped.

Wang Yongkang ran on his stomach and really saved his life temporarily. Just heard a burst of "crackling" guns, and the twenty or thirty shotguns were all empty, but this burst of guns still scared the people of Suzhou who watched the rebellion on Hulong Street enough.

It turns out that this is not a joke, it is a real rebellion! Besides, these anti-thief guys look very good! There are dozens of shotguns alone, and the rest of the people still have Zhangsan bamboo guns, waist knives, and swords.

In addition, these thieves seem to have chain mail under their yellow robes and red turbans!

It seems that this gang of anti-thieves is not an ordinary anti-thief, but a backstage anti-thief, maybe it was really sent by Wu Sangui, or it may be a professional anti-thief sent by the general army of the green battalion on the ground in Liangjiang and three provinces - the leaders of the green battalion are all three ministers, four ministers and five ministers, and they are the most capable of rebellion!

It looks like Jiangnan is going to be bloody again, and this excitement is unbearable, so hurry up and run!

After a while, the governor of Jiangsu's Fu Biao and this gang of thieves really started practicing on Hulong Street, it was really a knife and gun without eyes, and the gun was even more blind, and a shot collapsed, and the grandmother raised it in vain!

Everyone who reacted began to run away!

Scattered and fled, doing birds and beasts, and the street was much cleaner after a hula and dragon protection.

Some of them also panicked, and did not go through the alley, but ran along Hulong Street in the direction of the Jiangsu Governor's Yamen, shouting as they ran: "Oh no! The third prince of Zhu is reversed! The third prince of Zhu has a gun"

So, this group of "road blind" hugged the "fake third prince of Zhu" Wang Yongkang and his subordinates, and rushed to the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu!

At the same time, in the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu, Mu Tianyan, the governor of Jiangsu, who was nursing the governor, was preparing a Hongmen banquet, no, it was Hongmen mahjong. The mahjong table has been set up, in addition to himself, there are also Suzhou prefect and Suzhou weaving Langzhong, a total of people are drinking tea in a side hall while waiting for meritorious service!

Behind the two small doors of the side hall, there are still more than a dozen fast officials called by the prefect's yamen, all of whom have prepared hemp ropes to tie people and knock people with sticks - Kangxi said that they should treat each other with "courtesy", so knives and axes are not on it, and they are knocked a few times with sticks, and then bundled with hemp rope, which is very "courteous".

Moreover, the governor of Jiangsu's Fu Biao Ding does not talk much about "etiquette", and there is no light or heavy beating people, and it will be difficult to explain if it is broken, so Mu Tianyan also specially asked the Suzhou prefect to bring a professional and arresting government office.

Of course, the report to the emperor can't be written so easily. Just one "Hongmen mahjong" plus more than a dozen fast arresters are not good. You have to arrange a pitched battle, right?

Mu Tianyan was pondering whether it would be better to write that he had fought with the third prince Zhu for dozens of rounds with a sword in hand, or that it would be better to write a batch of stubborn and stubborn people who braved the rain of arrows, when a very noisy and noisy voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Mu Tianyan raised his head and asked, "Where is the noise?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a governor Fu Biao Qian Zong crawling in, shouting as he ran: "It's the opposite, it's the other way around, it's against Mu Fantai, it's not good, it's a rebellion!" ”

"Who rebelled?" Mu Tianyan jumped up suddenly, and the tea bowl in his hand fell with a "bang".

"Zhu, Zhu, the third prince of Zhu has rebelled!" Mr. Qian said loudly, "Mu Fantai, go out and have a look, there is a rebellion on Hulong Street, the third prince of Zhu is coming to the governor's yamen with thousands of people, they still have guns, and they came over with guns all the way." ”

As if to prove that what Mr. Qian said was true, there were really a few "pop" gunshots faintly heard.

Mu Tianyan was really a little panicked at this time, but he was not an ordinary person, he was a capable person who had seen Zheng Jing on Dayuan Island, so he quickly tried his best to stabilize his emotions. One after another, the governor's yamen was immediately closed, and people were to be sent to guard it, and the main gate was not closed for the time being, but half of the pacesetters who were still in the yamen were to be concentrated to be armed.

At the same time, Mu Tianyan ordered the prefect of Suzhou to immediately disperse half of the fast classes he brought, and send messages to all the yamen in Suzhou City, asking them to close their doors!

Then go and notify the gatekeepers of the city gates everywhere, close the city gates first, and then allocate manpower to support the governor's yamen.

After the arrangement was completed, Mu Tianyan couldn't sit still, so he walked around in the courtyard of the governor's yamen, trying his best to calm his emotions.

At this time, the people in the governor's yamen should have panicked, everyone is looking at him, no matter what, he must be stable at this time!

The noise outside kept coming, getting louder and louder, mixed with the sound of "crackling" gunshots...... The anti-thief is powerful!

The two officials of Suzhou Prefect and Suzhou Weaving, as well as Mu Tianyan's own Goshha, were all pale and colorless.

"The third prince of Mu Fantai Zhu has arrived outside the main gate of the governor's yamen!"

A pacesetter of the governor of Jiangsu also flew over and spread the news loudly. Mu Tianyan turned his head, waved his arm, and shouted, "Follow me!" ”

After shouting, he strode out. As soon as I walked to the gate of the governor's yamen, I saw that the gate of the governor's yamen had been blocked by two rows of fences, leaving only enough space for one person and one horse to enter and exit.

About two or three hundred Fubiao pacesetters crowded into the gate with knives, shotguns, and spears, and one Fubiao guerrilla carrying a knife shouted there: "Resist. Resist me! ”

As he was roaring, he heard a voice coming from far and near: "Oh no, the third prince of Zhu and Ao Bai rebelled together. The third prince of Zhu and Ao Bai called! ”

What? The third prince of Zhu rebelled with Aobai? Still in Suzhou?

Mu Tianyan followed the voice and looked over, and then saw the "Third Prince Zhu" who took the lead at a glance - it was that Wang Yongkang!

This "Third Prince of Zhenzhu" was quite fierce, taking the lead, leading a group of soldiers and black and oppressive chaotic people, and rushed towards the gate of the governor's yamen. However, Mu Tianyan didn't see Aobai.

Where is Aobai? Why didn't he rush with Third Prince Zhu?

Mu Tianyan was touching it, and that Wang Yongkang also saw him, and immediately shouted: "The third prince of Mu Fantai Zhu and Ao Bai are reversed!" ”

"Third Prince Zhu," Mu Tianyan followed Wang Yongkang's words and asked, "Where is Aobai?" ”

Wang Yongkang replied loudly: "In the back, in the back, it will come soon!" ”

As he answered, he rode forward without stopping at all, and at the sight of his horse rushing to the gap alone, as if he wanted to rush into the governor's yamen from there.

That's pretty brave! Mu Tianyan and all the pacesetters of Jiangsu Fubiao who were guarding there were stunned.

But he didn't be stunned for too long, Mu Tianyan had already reacted and shouted: "Take it!" ”

Then a pacesetter picked up the spear in his hand and stabbed it at the horse under Wang Yongkang's crotch.

Wang Yongkang and the horse he was riding didn't react, and the spear had already pierced into the horse's belly. The horse was inexplicably stabbed by someone, and immediately screamed in pain: "Slippery"

Then the horse couldn't bear the severe pain and fell down, and fell on the stone steps in front of the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu, and Wang Yongkang, who was riding on horseback, also fell down with him.

Although he felt good on the battlefield where he escaped, after all, he had not practiced "cheating horses", and he had never really been on the battlefield, so he didn't have time to react in the case of a surprise attack, and he fell firmly. One thigh was directly pressed under the horse's body, and it broke with a "click", and the sharp pain came, and he also screamed: "Ah! ”

Mu Tianyan also felt a little wrong when he saw this scene!

Third Prince Zhu is considered to have caught himself?

It's too easy, right?

So many of the three princes who were arrested before were caught so easily?

When Mu Tianyan felt that something was wrong, there were already a few Suzhou Mansion arresters who rushed over to arrest the "Third Prince Zhu" who had broken his leg like a fierce god.

At this time, Wang Yongkang suffered a big crime, and his broken leg was still dragged hard by life, and he screamed in pain: "Ah, ah! ”

Although he screamed very badly, he was about to catch up with the pig, but Wang Yongkang's broken leg was still dragged out from under the horse, and the whole person was dragged away.

And the scene of Wang Yongkang being stabbed off his horse by the Qing soldiers and dragged to be a prisoner was all seen by Wu Yuanyi, his subordinates, and the people of Suzhou who followed him.

They were stunned for a moment - what the hell was going on? How can you beat your own people well? Could it be that there are also the third prince Zhu and the people who worship in the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu?

Before they could react, the gunshots "crackled" again, and then there was the song of "Ying Zhu San": "Seeking ascension in the morning, seeking unity in the evening, it is difficult for Han'er to survive recently." Open the door early to worship King Ming, and King Ming came to divide the field"

The sound of gunfire and singing together, the people of Suzhou who ran to the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu in a daze realized that something was wrong, they ran wrong! We're going to start fighting here later!

Then someone shouted, "Hurry up."

With the shout of "run away", the crowd dispersed, and the wide street outside the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu suddenly became a lot clearer. Even that Wu Yuanyi led the "family ding" he brought from Yunnan to run away. It really deserves to be the elite of Liaodong!

Now Mu Tianyan, who was hiding in the gate of the governor's yamen, could finally see the group of "real thieves" in yellow robes and red scarves (red hats)!

The number of "real thieves" is not large, only more than 100 people, but they are very strict.

Although there were only more than 100 people, a small phalanx was set up on the street one hundred and fifty steps away from the gate of the governor's yamen - the pikemen stood on all sides, and the musketeers stood in two rows facing the yamen, and there seemed to be two black pots in the innermost part, and there were several men in yellow robes and red hats (red scarves), a stout old man wearing a yellow flag cloth and armor, and a horse, and three flags.

Mu Tianyan took a Western clairvoyant mirror from one of his Goshha hands, opened it to take a look, and found that the three flags had the words "Third Prince of Ming Zhu", "Daming Aobai" and "Ming" respectively.

Among them, under the banner of the "Third Prince Zhu of the Ming Dynasty", there was also a man wearing a yellow robe and a red hood, with a lofty spirit, standing with a sword, looking more like the third prince of Zhu than Wang Yongkang!

Misunderstood Wang Yongkang? Mu Tianyan said in his heart: This is the real Third Prince Zhu?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw a man in a red scarf and a yellow robe carrying a bamboo gun striding out of the anti-thief phalanx, and stopped twenty or thirty steps outside the gate of the governor's yamen, and then opened his throat and shouted loudly: "Listen, the dog officer inside the governor's yamen listens, you have been surrounded, hurry up and come out and surrender, otherwise the third prince of my family and the commander of Ao will use thunder methods!" ”

Besieged? Surrender?

Mu Tianyan was almost amused, and immediately laughed: "Just a few of you, you still want to subvert my Qing Dynasty, I think you should return to the court as soon as possible, lest the heavenly soldiers be wiped out when the heavenly soldiers arrive!" ”

"Dog officer, wait to eat the cannons!" The man in the red scarf and yellow robe replied, then turned and left, singing as he went: "Get up, don't be a poor pariah!" Arise, and do not be lambs to the slaughter! The blood is already boiling, and we should fight for the unity of the world."

When the majestic singing voice reached the phalanx, Chen Yonghua ordered loudly: "Open the cannon. Hit me hard! ”

"Yes!"

Wang Cannon Wang Zhongyi was a little impatient to wait, according to his meaning, what is there to talk about with Mu Tianyan, the dog official? Just bombard him with a cannon, knock him down, and scare him away if he doesn't die.

Although the result of making trouble in Suzhou this time will definitely be to run away, but if you can defeat the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu before you run away, the name of Tiandi Hui and the third prince of Zhu will be played.

Thinking of these good things, Wang Cannon commanded several of his gunners to adjust the direction and firing angle of the two twelve-pound bronze mortar cannons placed on the wooden frame (the wooden frame rested directly on the ground).

Then the gunners stuffed the gunpowder packets that had been prepared earlier. Then he opened a leather case, took out two round flowering shells with a wooden tray tied to a belt, lit the fuse in a wooden tube fuse inserted into the top of the wooden flowering shell, and stuffed the two flowering shells into the barrel of the gun. Finally, the line of fire at the tail of the gun was ignited.

The flames burned rapidly with the line of fire, and soon disappeared into the doors of the two mortars, igniting the granular gunpowder that had long been punctured by a long probe.

Immediately afterward, white smoke erupted from the muzzle of the cannon, and then the two "Mutuo Flower Shells" flew up and whistled at a speed visible to the naked eye towards the gate of the governor's yamen, which was one hundred and fifty paces away.

One of the flowering bullets missed, and with a "bang" fell on the inside of the governor's yamen, a little far from the gate.

directly smashed two stone slabs, and smashed a small pit!

The other hit it quite accurately, and landed directly in the crowd behind the governor's yamen, and smashed over a pacesetter, and the unlucky guy didn't even say a word, and fell to the ground without moving!

Although these two shells are flowering shells, they do not trigger the fuse at the moment, so they do not explode immediately.

If it weren't for the fact that he liked to play a "full war" in his previous life, and he also looked for some weapons from the Napoleonic War era at night, he would not have known that there was a mortar that looked like a "black soup pot" to play well, but it could reap miraculous results.

And the miracle is coming soon!

Although the two shells did not explode immediately, the woodpipe fuses were also installed quite sturdily, did not fall out, and there was white smoke coming out, and there was also a "sizzle" sound.

This is going to be fried!

When Mu Tianyan saw the two smoking shells, he was immediately frightened, his legs were weak, and he couldn't escape.

Fortunately, his Goshha reacted very quickly, and immediately pounced on Mu Tianyan and ran to the governor's yamen.

The other people guarding the gate of the governor's yamen saw that Mu Tianyan had run away, and they didn't hold it anymore, so everyone just ran together.

And as soon as this group of people ran to the depths of the governor's yamen, the two flowering bombs exploded one after the other

With the two loud bangs of "boom", Mu Tianyan and his subordinates were even more panicked - this third prince Zhu is too powerful, there are really cannons!

originally thought that the third prince of Zhu was the one who put the mouth cannon, but he didn't expect that everyone had mouth cannons.

How can this battle be fought? The yamen of the patrol can't withstand the bombardment!

Thinking of this, the steps under the feet of this group of people can't stop, no matter what they are, let's run farther first.

While they were desperately running away, the shelling on the third prince's side had not stopped, and the sound of cannons, explosions, and shouts of killing rang out.

Look at this, the third prince of Zhu and Aobai's men have already entered the governor's yamen.

"Chen joins the army...... Are we going to lay down the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu? Isn't this Suzhou city just ......?"

On the other side, Zhu Cijiong, the third prince of Zhu, who had just led people to take the gate, was already dancing excitedly.

Although he had a loud bang before, he never thought that he could really shoot it down.

A hundred people fired two cannons, and then they beat down the governor's yamen. If Wu Sangui's 100,000 troops go together, will he really be able to be a puppet emperor for a few years?

Chen Yonghua glanced at him, took a deep breath, calmed down, and then pointed to the double-bucket flagpole outside the gate of the Jiangsu Governor's Yamen, and said to the left and right: "Come on, first raise our red flag and Daming flag!" ”
