"You think those officials can still fight with the guards, catch gangsters, and thieves in the world are still careless. If you go to the battlefield, you will be cannon fodder."
Wei Guangde shook his head while thinking, thinking that the eldest son of the Wei family had never seen what the real battlefield looked like. Maybe when he saw the officials in Nanjing take over people, he thought they were very awesome.
It’s not that Wei Guangde looked down on the people in the yamen. Although Wei Guangde had never been to the Ministry of Justice, when the case was tried in Suzhou Prefecture, Wei Guangde also observed the three yamen runners in the yamen and understood how their equipment was used.
It is different from later film and television dramas. Nowadays, a lot of people in the government's constables don't carry knives. Their equipment is just two different: one is an iron ruler and the other is an iron chain.
Nowadays, police officers use batons, police kidnapping, restraint belts, handcuffs and other police equipment. What's more powerful are various modern mechanical guns and bullets.
In addition to some of the constables at this time in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to using swords and swords, they also used a mysterious weapon without a sharp edge and blade issued by the government - the iron ruler.
Iron ruler, also called "pointing ruler", is shaped like a cylinder, round and ruler, without inward slope on all sides, thick on the top and thin on the bottom, with upward side branches on both sides or no upward side branches on both sides. The side branches are mostly used to block the enemy's weapons. They can be used for attack and defense, and can be used flexibly, so they have a greater advantage in dealing with swords or longer weapons.
Of course, it is also easy to carry and can be inserted on both sides of the waist. The detectives usually use one pair and one hand, so it can also be called "double iron rulers".
The entire iron ruler actually looks more like a one-handed three-pointer, which means that it can lock the opponent's weapons during a fight.
The iron ruler originated approximately in the Tang and Song dynasties, but was not used to catch people at that time. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that this iron ruler appeared in the hands of the constable. It was precisely because this weapon was not sharp and not sharp, it was suitable for catching people without hurting people.
The martial arts skills of the people in the world in the film and television dramas seem to not take these constables seriously, but the actual situation is that as long as these powerful men in the world are alone and surrounded by the constables, most of them will only be captured alive, and few people can escape from the siege. This is not because of the martial arts skills of the constable, but the reason is just this iron ruler.
As long as the opponent's weapon is locked by an iron ruler, the constable next to him will rush up, beat the iron ruler hard, and then lock it with an iron chain. Those who have made great reputations in the world will immediately kneel down.
The constable naturally has the advantage in dealing with those people in the world who are used to fighting alone, but when faced with regular soldiers who are good at cooperating with each other, there is no advantage at all.
Therefore, Wei Guangde only thought at this time that perhaps Xu Bangrui saw the scene of the constable arresting some thieves, so he thought that those constables were very good at fighting, so he thought of recruiting these people.
However, Wei Guangde did not explain much. The Duke of Wei was in charge of the garrison in Jiangnan for a long time, so he did not deal with local governments very much, and they could not do so, which was a taboo.
The Xu family is already very awesome. Jiangnan has military power in hand. If you still have sex with the local government, the emperor in the Forbidden City will not be able to sleep.
In this chaos in Nanjing, Wei Guangde affirmed that Nanjing's Jinyiwei might have passed the news.
Nanjing was extremely important in the hearts of Emperor Jiajing, because most of the taxes in the Northern Transport came from Southern Zhili. Without the support of the southern taxes, the Ming Dynasty would be unstable.
If you don’t have money, what do you use to support your soldiers? If you don’t have money, what do you use to maintain your rule?
Xu Bangrui, Wei Guangde and his group quickly advanced towards the small school ground in Nanjing. However, a short while they saw a group of people running towards each other, looking very embarrassed, and the crowd was still running here with three sedan chairs.
"Wait"
Xu Bangrui, who was running in front, suddenly grabbed the reins of the war horse under his crotch and stopped on the road. Wei Guangde had already surpassed Xu Bangrui at this time. He stopped quickly when he heard the horse behind him.
In fact, when we first saw the group of people in front of us, Wei Guangde thought that it was Zhenwu Camp's troops who rushed out of the small schoolyard to go out to cause trouble, but after seeing those people's outfits, they were relieved. They were not Mingjun war jackets, and they should not be from Zhenwu Camp.
Wei Guangde stood beside Xu Bangrui, and the servants behind him also stopped at this time, carefully guarding against the people coming from the opposite side.
The street was so wide that the group of people rushed to the front and saw that the road was blocked, so they immediately became alert.
"Which family do you come from? Where do you come from?"
Xu Bangrui sat down and shouted loudly.
Xu Bangrui was a little unfamiliar with the people in front of him, not very familiar with them. He seemed to have never seen them much, and he didn't know what his identity was on the other side.
"Young Master, you young master, it's us."
At this time, someone suddenly shouted loudly from behind the crowd, raising his hands up and pushing forward while shouting.
"Uncle Sheng?"
Xu Bangrui felt nervous when he saw the man rushing over from the other side. He had already recognized the person and then asked loudly: "Is my dad here?"
"The master is in the sedan chair, we are all fine."
The general named Xu Sheng quickly squeezed away the person blocking the road in front of Xu Bangrui. Xu Bangrui was standing in the stirrups and staring at the sedan chair behind him.
"Young Master, let's go back first. The master wants to rush back to the garrison mansion. Those miscellaneous soldiers are really rebelling."
"Who is ahead and which one?"
Just as Xu Sheng was talking there, Xu Bangrui suddenly asked.
"That's the servant of the Linhuai Marquis' Mansion."
Xu Sheng said concisely.
Linhuai Marquis Mansion is also a very special existence in Nanjing City. Although this family was also a hero after the founding of the country, they were restored to their title very late.
The Li family of Linhuai Hou was actually a descendant of Duke Cao Li Wenzhong. After Li Jinglong was deposed during the Yongle period, the Duke Cao family declined. After the rebellion of King Gu, he was even devastated by the misfortune of guarding the border Liaodong, which triggered the Sheng Yu case.
After Li Jinglong died in the fourth year of Xuande, the family of Cao Guogong returned to Nanjing, but was still imprisoned until he was released in the 13th year of Zhengtong.
After that, the family of Cao Guogong lived in Nanjing for a long time and became a civilian, but they never forgot to restore their political status.
After several generations of efforts, the Cao Guogong family won the position of hereditary commander in the sixth year of Hongzhi, and obtained the title of Linhuai Marquis in the eleventh year of Jiajing, and became a hero again.
In other words, although the Li family was also a hero after the founding of the country, the time it took to get the title was very short, only more than twenty years ago.
The Li family has always been very low-key in Nanjing City. Even if Li Tingzhu, a Marquis of Linhuai, has been a second-rank military position like the governor's office and admiral Cao Jiang, he is still very low-key.
Needless to say, it must be that the Linhuai Hou's people arrived late and escaped. After meeting with Xu Pengju and Zhang Liang who ran out in a hurry, their people naturally ran to the front.
“Get out of the way.”
At this time, both Wei Guangde and Xu Bangrui knew who were in the three sedan chairs opposite. Is it necessary to say?
It must be Xu Pengju, Duke of Wei, Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, and Zhang Liu, Secretary of the Ministry of War of Nanjing.
Wei Guangde was very curious about how they did it.
Once the soldiers lose control, it is very dangerous.
Masking his lips, Wei Guangde rode his horse and followed Xu Bangrui to the side. Soon the group of people opposite him put away their swords and guns and moved, and continued to move along the way Wei Guangde and the others came.
When the three-top sedan chair appeared in front of him, Xu Bangrui ordered the people around him: "The whole team will protect you from behind."
After saying that, he rode his horse and followed a sedan chair. Wei Guangde now recognized that this was the sedan chair of Duke Wei Xu Pengju, and his father-in-law must be there.
Not to mention, it was true that the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and Xu Pengju's slightly pale face was obviously shocked by the rioters.
Wei Guangde and Xu Bangrui followed behind the sedan chair, asking Xu Sheng what was going on and what happened in the small schoolyard.
"Young master, son-in-law, as soon as we entered the Ministry of Revenue, the group of riots rushed in with armor. At that time, the chaos was so chaotic. We could only protect the Duke and retreat aside, and did not dare to stop them from smashing the Ministry of Revenue."
Xu Sheng gasped and told his experience at the small school.
"That person surnamed Huang may have seen these riots coming in a fierce manner. He was so scared that he climbed out of the south wall. There was also a house of soldiers in the Beijing camp. It is said that he was caught by the people from Zhenwu camp not long after he ran over."
Xu Sheng said here, Wei Guangde raised his eyebrows, "Will Officer Huang Mao die or live?"
Wei Guangde was not nervous. Now Huang Maoguan’s life and death are related to the nature of this riot. If Huang Maoguan died at the hands of the rebels, it would be a bit difficult to explain. After all, he is a third-rank official of the court, so he cannot die if he dies.
"We didn't see anyone, but when we broke out, we heard soldiers shouting and beating the dog official named Huang to death. However, we really didn't see the body. Now it's hard to say that the person was beaten to death."
Xu Sheng continued, but at this time Wei Guangde was already worried. After the soldiers lost control, they killed people like killing chickens and ducks, and in the end it was often difficult to track down people.
There are more than two thousand people, as long as no one informs you, you can be sure who killed it.
But no matter what, Wei Guangde is sure, and Huang Maoguan is afraid he really can't survive.
When it fell into the hands of that group of people, the soldiers had already hated military pay last year. If they couldn't find Ma Kun, they wouldn't seek revenge on you.
Today, the soldiers started to have a fight, which was naturally a rare opportunity for those who were resentful. It was normal to kill Huang Maoguan to vent his anger.
If the law does not punish the masses, it is impossible for the court to behead more than 2,000 people.
After a while, I thought it would take some time to block the road. Soon, a group of soldiers wearing Ming army mandarin duck battle jackets appeared on the street behind. A large group of people were catching up with them along the road.
With the sedan chair dragging forward, the distance between the two groups is getting closer and closer.
Of course, Xu Bangrui and Wei Guangde both noticed the situation behind him and began to feel anxious. If Xu Pengju came on a horse, someone would have been caught up there.
Seeing that the sedan chair could not be removed, if Xu Pengju was pulled out of the sedan chair and rode a horse, there would be a chance, but Zhang Liang and Li Tingzhu in front of him would be robbed.
Wei Guangde was wearing a green robe at this time, and he was all seventh-rank official from the court. Seeing the chasing soldiers of Zhenwu Camp, Wei Guangde suddenly stopped his horse and turned around. When he saw the pursuers approaching, he shouted loudly at the group of pursuers: "I am Wei Guangde, the Censor of the Censorate, knowing that you are in your situation, he came here to investigate the situation, but he didn't want to encounter what happened today.
You will quickly return to the military camp and wait for news from the court, otherwise the imperial army will arrive all at once. Do you really want to be a traitor? This is Nanjing City, and there are many troops gathering in and outside the city."
