Before Li Mi fell, a cavalry force shot out from behind the crowd.

Without saying a word, they urged their horses to swing their sabers and chop at anyone they saw...

…

Jiangnan is a world of scholars. There are only scholars here but no emperor. You can imagine how powerful the gentry class is.

But they never expected that someone would shoot at them before the little emperor arrived. It must have been the rogue bandits who surrendered to the court...

Some people really guessed it right. The bandits who had just rushed in were the bandits who surrendered to the imperial court. The leader was none other than Liu Guoneng, but he was the leader of the bandits trained by Emperor Shenwu...

Liu Guoneng and the others only had more than 500 people sneak into Wuxi City. More than 500 people were enough to deal with these people. After all, there were only about 10,000 participants, and most of them were weak literati!

Shots were fired from the front, and cavalry charged from behind. Seeing that there was no way to escape, some people actually fled into the Confucius Temple. They thought that everything would be fine if they entered the Confucius Temple...

Seeing the rioters fleeing into the Confucius Temple, Liu Guoneng was about to command his troops to rush in. Suddenly, he found someone holding a Vulcan gun inside the Confucius Temple, as if he was ready to light it up and shoot!

In order to prevent unnecessary casualties to the soldiers, he hurriedly issued an order to suspend the pursuit.

"Stop, they have gunmen."

A general came forward to ask for a fight:

"General, let your subordinates rush in. A few Vulcan guns shouldn't be able to hurt us."

Liu Guoneng waved his hand:

"No, this general will not let our brothers take risks easily."

Jiang was a little touched and saluted again with cupped fists:

"General, it is our mission to share His Majesty's worries. There is no need to fear death!"

"Hahaha, what you said is good, but if you die in battle for rotten people like them, it's not worth it."

Liu Guoneng shook his head, but still refused to risk the president, and then asked:

"Do you have any grenades?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes, bombing the Confucius Temple is not a good idea. I hope the general will think again."

Liu Guoneng's eyes widened at that moment:

"What's wrong? Didn't you see firearms in their hands? This is a premeditated rebellion. Prepare grenades immediately!"

"Here!"

This Qianbaoshang didn't dare to say anything more and hurriedly went down to collect grenades.

Liu Guoneng thought for a moment and then ordered his subordinates:

"Those who shout inside first and come out voluntarily will be treated leniently."

"Here!"

The two general banners immediately began to shout to the Confucius Temple:

"Everyone inside, listen, as long as you walk out of the Confucius Temple, you don't have to kill your family members. If you continue to be stubborn, not only will you be executed, but the three tribes will also be exterminated. I will give you half a stick of incense for consideration."

These people are not monolithic. Some timid people immediately changed their minds when they heard the shouting from outside.

Despite their usually aloof appearance, they don't take anyone seriously.

Once you get tough with them, they are just weak scholars.

Walking out of the Confucius Temple means there is still a glimmer of hope, and staying inside to resist is just a struggle to death.

It's really pathetic to think about myself. With a salary from the Ming Dynasty, I actually confronted the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and did not hesitate to use violence.

A few literati may have figured it out and decided to surrender. They no longer prayed for survival, but only hoped not to implicate their families.

Of course, if the emperor could forgive them, who would be willing to die?

"If you keep your word, we'll go out right now."

Five or six literati were excited and ready to go out and give it a try.

But after taking a few steps, they heard curses behind them:

"Shameless, traitor, disgraced us scholars..."

If the bandits rebel for food, then these scholars are tired of living.
