It has been blocked and is being modified!

Seeing the governor escaping under the cover of his personal guards, the demonstrators became even more energetic, and some people actually chased and beat him.

Dozens of personal guards protected more than a dozen civil servants and tried their best to escape, but how could these civil servants escape the Qingpi and servants in the crowd, and they were about to be surrounded again...

"Whizzing……"

Suddenly several loud arrows flew into the sky...

"Da da da……"

As the sounding arrow lifted into the sky, the ground began to shake slightly, as if thousands of troops were galloping in.

The chaotic crowd gradually stopped chasing Zhu Yinxi and the others, but after a while, someone began to encourage the gentry and landlords again.

"Don't be afraid, everyone. The dog emperor will not do anything to us literati and gentry. The law does not punish the public. The little emperor sent troops to suppress us literati and gentry. Aren't we afraid that the world's scholars will be disappointed? I think back then our predecessors beat to death the eunuchs who came to Suzhou to collect taxes.

, Emperor Jiajing didn’t even fart..."

Instigated by some people, some people became active again, and some people began to attack shops along the street, preparing to set fire to nearby houses...

Several officials who were pushed to the ground felt that their lives were in danger. At this time, they did not dare and were unable to stop these people from causing trouble.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves got closer and closer, and soon a group of cavalry appeared in front of them.

The more than a hundred people in front were all royal guards in bullfighting uniforms, and behind them was a fully armed cavalry team.

The leader of the Jinyi Guards is, of course, Gao Wencai, and the more than two thousand people behind him are the cavalry soldiers that Gao Wencai borrowed from Li Dakai some time ago.

When Zhu Cihong was transferred to Zhu Dadian, he appointed Chang Yanling as the governor of water transportation and recruited 5,000 water troops from the water transport industry. The person responsible for training and commanding them was the lone hero Li Dakai!

Gao Wencai reined in his horse and looked at the wanton gentry. He snorted coldly, drew out his embroidered spring knife, and shouted loudly:

"The whole army listens to the order. The Holy One has decreed that if the rebels cause chaos, they will be killed without mercy. If anyone lets the rebels go, they will be guilty of the same crime as the rebels, and the three tribes will be destroyed!"

Now the Ming army is no longer the original Ming army. They are all recruits recruited by Zhu Cixi after supervising the country, and they are also loyal guards who defend the Ming Dynasty.

Knowing clearly that the Ming Dynasty's army was corrupt, Zhu Cixi could not possibly use the Nanjing garrison to suppress the gentry and landlords. They were too unreliable.

So he asked Gao Wencai to borrow a thousand troops from Li Dakai, and temporarily put them under Gao Wencai's command, preparing to use them at a critical moment. He originally thought they would be used in Nanjing, but Suzhou was in chaos first...

After seeing the signal sent by the Jin Yiwei spies, they knew that the situation was very urgent. Gao Wencai, a colleague of the Jin Yiwei who had just arrived in Suzhou after finishing the house raiding mission, immediately led the army there in person.

Don't underestimate these southern gentry and landowner families. They are the forces behind the Ming Dynasty's civil servant group, and their harm to the Ming Dynasty is no less than that of rogue bandits.

Without the internal fighting among the civil servants, whether it was Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng and other bandits, or the Liaodong slaves, it would be basically impossible for them to become a phenomenon.

Seeing that the rioters smashed shops and surrounded officials, Gao Wencai gave an order, and the Jinyi guards and cavalry immediately drew their swords, bypassed several officials who fell on the ground, and rushed towards the rioting crowd...

There were many people on the street, mostly literati and landowners and evil gentry. Although they were protected by servants, they could not block the cavalry attack.

The cavalry rushed forward, and the war horses knocked hundreds of people away in an instant. The people in front of the team had their bones broken and tendons broken by the horses, and there was chaos...

The servants of the gentry and landlords who were still able to move after being knocked down climbed up from the ground in embarrassment, pointing at the imperial guards and cavalry soldiers and yelling:

"You reckless men, don't you know that we are all scholars? What you did today will chill the hearts of scholars. Today's matter is not over yet. The imperial court must give an explanation to the scholars in the world."

In the past, the status of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was quite high, and even a third-grade military attaché would have to bow to a fifth-grade civil servant.

This has also fostered the pampering and arrogance of the literati and gentry, who still cannot recognize the situation until now. Moreover, this demonstration was also launched for the benefit of the family...

In their hearts, the gentry and landlords of the Ming Dynasty are the group that should be protected the most. As for the safety of the country and the survival of those mud-legged people, they are not as important as their personal interests.

Seeing that these people dared to ask the court to explain themselves, Gao Wencai smiled coldly:

"The joke is simply a big joke. Without scholars, will the Ming Dynasty collapse? When the rogue bandits invaded the East, where were you literati landlords? Why didn't you come out and spray them to death? You are a group of ignorant rotten scholars who are still rampant even when they are about to die.

kill!"

At the command, the knights immediately drew their sabers, urged their horses to charge towards them, and when their swords fell from their hands, blood spattered on their heads, they fell to the ground...

The war horses rushed into the crowd, and the sound of swords piercing flesh and the screams of the gentry were heard everywhere. Some of the fallen civilians were also trampled to death by the war horses, and their blood flowed like rivers...

Just now, he was so unscrupulous that he didn't even care about the emperor's authority and the gentry, landlords and servants. Now he started running around crying for his father and mother...

Gao Wencai and several Jin Yiwei dismounted and just helped up a few officials who had not had time to escape. When Zhu Yinxi and the others saw the Jin Yiwei arriving, they immediately turned around and came back.

"Master Gao, you arrived just in time. If you had arrived a little later, I might not have been able to escape..."

Gao Wencai shook his head and said:

"My lords, you are taking too many risks. You must protect yourselves. They have all gone crazy. You powerless civil servants must not take risks. Your Majesty will definitely find a way to deal with it..."

Zhu Yinxi looked at the rioters enjoying the brutal cavalry attack, and couldn't help but feel happy. Wasn't he crazy just now? Don't run!

However, after thinking for a moment, he became a little worried and said:

"Master Gao, isn't this too bloody? Most of them are scholars!"

Gao Wencai snorted coldly:

"My lords, did they behave like scholars when they were beating, smashing, looting, and burning? Also, did they behave like scholars when they surrounded you officials just now?

The Holy One said that they are all cancers of the Ming Dynasty. I have been ordered to clear out the rebellious people. You should avoid them immediately to avoid accidental injury..."

After Gao Wencai said that, he jumped on his horse and rushed forward, followed by dozens of guards in uniforms behind him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing Gao Wencai and others rushing forward again, Zhu Yinxi turned around and said to the officials:

"Let's go back and check whether the officials who escaped just now are involved in corruption. I feel that some officials have some connections with these people..."

The gentry and landlords in Suzhou did not expect that the imperial court would attack them. When they saw the imperial guards and officers and soldiers slashing and killing them, they were basically scared to the point of peeing, and they ran around crying and screaming...

When Gao Wencai suppressed the riots in Suzhou, Wuxi, where Donglin Academy was located, was also in chaos by the gentry landlords and their servants...

As the headquarters of the Donglin Party is located, the demonstrations here are even more crazy.

Not only did they destroy, loot, and burn, but many civilians were also targeted.

Not only were the gentry in the crowd, but their servants also participated in the crowd. Almost all the young scoundrels took advantage of the chaos to make a fuss, and the prosperous southern trading center was in chaos...

Along the way of their demonstrations, whenever they saw someone coming or going, they would immediately go up and beat them up, and all their belongings would be robbed.

If you make a little resistance, you will be beaten violently immediately, and you don't look like a scholar at all.

Going further is the location of the prefect's Yamen. At this time, they are even more crazy and are ready to attack the prefect's Yamen.

Suddenly, a team appeared on their way. They were not many in number, about two hundred people from a university.

These people were all armed with flintlock guns, and the leader was a handsome young man with a slender figure and a fair complexion.

I saw this person clasping his hands behind his back, looking coldly at the crowd of demonstrators rushing toward them, and suddenly shouted coldly:

"Everyone stop, disband immediately, go home and stay there, otherwise today will be your memorial day next year."

When this person spoke, his tone was extremely cold, giving people a feeling of being cold to the core.

It was Li Mi, the leader of the secret guards of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, only a few people knew his identity. In order not to reveal their identity, they all used flintlock guns for security.

Li Mi is a man of few words. He is usually reticent and very low-key. He basically does not appear in public. Today is also a special situation because there is not enough manpower.

There were more than 10,000 people demonstrating and making trouble, and they were certainly not afraid of the more than 200 people led by Li Mi.

As for the fact that they have firearms, these people don't care at all.

It's not that they are not afraid of firearms, but they simply don't believe that the other side dares to shoot. There are many scholars among them...

Of course, they didn't know that the person opposite would actually be Emperor Shenwu's secret guard!

"Hahaha, did you hear that? They asked us to stop, but these few people dared to come out to take care of things. Who are they? It's ridiculous. They rushed over to grab their firearms..."

Incited by some people, the crowd began to rush toward Li Mi and others.

He didn't dare to shoot, what a joke, even if he killed them all, Li Mi wouldn't even frown.

Seeing these rioters and gentry who didn't know whether to live or die, and didn't care about their existence at all, and some people actually shouted for guns, Li Mi waved his right arm fiercely:

"Three rows of fire, shoot!"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Li Mi waved his hand, and gunshots rang out instantly. Two hundred soldiers stood in six rows and fired continuously.

A round of volleys came down, and the gentry at the front instantly fell to pieces.

"shot"

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Gunshots rang out one after another, two hundred flintlock guns fired in turn, and three rows of volleys hit the Jiannu slaves on the battlefield. They were defeated. How could these people resist...

The troublemaking gentry fell one by one with the sound of gunfire. The servants and Qingpi who rushed in front were the bravest, and of course they were the quickest and fastest to die...

As bursts of gunfire rang out, they could only fall down one by one unwillingly...

I saw that my companions were talking and laughing just now, smashing and grabbing things together, but now they were falling down one by one, some had their heads blown open, and some had their stomachs punched through.

These people finally realized their fear at this time, turned around and screamed for their lives...

However, so many people were pushing and running back, and soon there was another stampede. Once again, there were a large number of casualties, and the street became even more chaotic...

Seeing these people crying and running away in embarrassment, Li Mi snorted coldly:

"Huh, if you want to run away, it's not that easy. You think you can make trouble if you want to, and if you don't want to make trouble, you can go home, and you can continue to enjoy and kill them all..."
To be continued...
