Chapter 35 Hearts and Minds
"Let's see whoever is there, and who dares to act rashly!"
Sun Xian shouted in anger.
It was obvious that the Qi family army seemed to be comforted, which gave him great courage.
He is actually not afraid of troublemakers.
Eunuchs are all from the bottom, and they are smart enough to survive in the palace today.
He knew that the simple unruly people could not make trouble, and he was afraid of following the Qi family army. The latter's combat power was in the front and the number of unruly people was rushing to the front. Just like a group of bandits were holding countless hungry people in a famine and snowballed forward. That was really uncontrollable.
But only hungry people...
Just let go of the officers and soldiers and slash them.
Can I make trouble for the Iron Cavalry even more?
Most of these are boaters in front of us, but they are actually refugees who come to make a living from all over the country. There is no organization, a mess of sand, and even have old grudges between each other. Boaters form cliques based on their regions, and it is common for people to die for the sake of fighting for life when opening the river. Anyway, most of them have no road guides, and they are not named or surnamed in the government, and no one can check them. The reason why they gather now is that they want to make as much money as possible in this winter to survive. After all, in such winter, it is common for boaters to freeze and starve to death in the village.
They are just like hungry people gathering ants to survive.
Scare.
Give some sweet dates to comfort.
Basically, I can coax it back.
But first of all, we must shock them.
"I'm tired of living, so I don't go to the death if I live? I have to be beheaded when I resist the imperial edict. Look at the cannons and firearms on the city wall and look at the official army on the street. This imperial edict has been issued. If you dare to make a fuss, you will be beheaded when you resist the imperial edict. Whoever dares to take another step forward will die!"
He shouted.
Then Yang Feng next to him immediately took a step forward...
Then he looked at Sun Xian with a pure face, and at the same time he weighed the big stick in his hand, as if he could be beaten at any time.
Sun Xian was sad...
"You boatmen have no business in winter and live a hard life. Long Sui Ye knows that you all go out of the city and wait. Long Sui Ye also has a pension for you..."
He continued to angrily scold the unruly people as if Yang Feng did not exist.
Then he found that the expressions of the unruly people were a little wrong. He instinctively turned his head to the side and found that Yang Feng had already walked to the city gate. He immediately signaled to the defenders on the imperial city wall with his eyes, asking the latter to fire the fire to end the thief. But at the same time, he felt a little chill on the other side. He turned around and was the gun in the hands of Xu Shou and others. He was so scared that he quickly signaled not to attack the city wall.
"Eunuch Sun, I saw it."
Yang Feng said gloomyly as he walked towards the open city gate.
Eunuch Sun smiled embarrassedly from behind.
The city gate of the left gate of Chang'an is not closed...
If it is closed, where will Eunuch Sun run if something happens?
However, the city gate was indeed ready for battle. This was the personal guard guarding the imperial city, that is, the twenty-six guards of the personal guards.
They are different from Beijing Camp.
them……
They are worse.
At this time, the Jingying Camp was actually rebuilt during the Jiajing period. Because Altan Khan's grand tour of the suburbs of Beijing made Jiajing extremely popular. He knew that the Jingying Camp could not be rotten anymore, so he reorganized it, and even recruited troops from outside to make up for it, and finally reorganized it into a 100,000 organization. Then after the rectification of the Zhang Juzheng era, especially the introduction of Qi Jiguang's military strategy, so although it is rotten now, it can still make do with it. After all, the time is short, for example, at least it can still shoot at the same time.
But the personal guards are really bad.
They are the emperor's personal soldiers, and the ministers wish they would be as good as possible. If they were not bad, the ministers would not be relieved.
"You are all descendants of the personal army that Emperor Taizu Gao trusts the most. Don't you want to know if Emperor Taizu Gao's rules are useful?"
Yang Feng looked at them and said.
"Big, bold and unruly people, and dare to bewitch people here!"
A general looked like a general angrily scolded tremblingly.
The soldiers beside him who were holding three-eyed guns and cold weapons were also trembling.
They didn't even have bird guns or chariots. In a sense, the personal guards were the worst equipped, so the Ministry of War would not give them good things, not to mention that they were not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War. Therefore, the weapons in the hands of these theoretically emperors' personal soldiers were basically no different from those when their ancestors followed Emperor Yongle.
"Human heart?"
Yang Feng sneered.
Then he raised the edict with one hand.
"This is the heart of the people, and Emperor Taizu Gao is the heart of the people!"
After saying that, he walked straight forward.
"Stop, stop, and then fire if you don't stop!"
The general shouted with a fierce look on his face.
"The great edict of Emperor Taizu Gao is here. I want to see if you descendants of the personal guards whom Emperor Taizu Gao trusted the most in the past should open fire on the great edict of Emperor Taizu Gao. Emperor Taizu Gao asked your ancestors to protect not only his descendants and the country he left behind, but also the rules he left behind. As military households, you know very well that this rule is for your own good. Those who serve private soldiers, those who kill soldiers, those who starve to death, those who kill soldiers,
Ah, not a kill.
Peng Youwen, a thousand households in Pingyang, starved to death by greed for money and food. Emperor Taizu Gao ordered 100 soldiers to fight him with spears, and was stabbed to death by 100 soldiers.
So when your superiors are greedy for your food and salary, you don’t want to ask Your Majesty, is this rule in the great edict of Emperor Taizu Gao?
Don't you want to ask?
Then let me go in and ask for you.”
Yang Feng held up the grand edict and walked forward while talking.
The weapons in the hands of those soldiers who were pro-arm guards gradually dropped.
"Open, open, open, open, kill these thieves, you dogs and things will open fire!"
The general roared.
Then Yang Feng walked in front of him...
"You can fire!"
He said sincerely.
The general stood there with a three-eyed gun and laughed like crying.
"Brother is joking. A certain ancestor also followed Emperor Taizu Gao. How dare he offend Emperor Taizu Gao's great edict?"
He said.
Yang Feng nodded.
Then he turned around and looked behind.
"The door is open. Are you willing to continue to live in a daze, even for generations, or are you willing to live in a daze from today? I will not force anyone, I will not live in a daze, I will ask you to follow me, if you want, if you don't want to, if you don't.
Your life does not require others to make decisions.
Choose your own choice!”
He said.
After saying that, he walked directly into the left gate of Chang'an.
Later, Xu Shou and his friends looked at each other in a glance, then walked forward together.
Sun Xian wanted to show his majesty, and then Xu Shou's bird gun hit his chin. Eunuch Sun was so scared that he quickly shut up.
Chapter completed!
