Chapter 42: Not being a loyal subject and obeying the people
Meridian Gate.
There is actually no war here for the time being.
As Concubine Zheng said, so many Beijing camps can be blocked even if they line up here.
Moreover, Li Yangong and Shen Sixiao, who were commanding the defense, were indeed very clear that there was really nothing to retreat behind them. If they retreated, they would go to Huangji Gate. However, that gate had no defensive value. In fact, it was equivalent to these rioters and unlucky people entering the three halls directly. Whether it was Chengtian Gate, the Meridian Gate was the gate after all, and it was still outside the gate and stepped into the palace area. This was a completely different nature. The bloody battle of the Meridian Gate was considered to guard the palace. After entering the Meridian Gate, the palace fell...
The fall of the palace?
They have to bear historical responsibility!
So even if they panic, they still tried their best to drive the Jingying and Jinyiwei, and set up defenses on the Meridian Gate and the left and right Quetai.
The defense ability here is even greater than that of Chengtian Gate.
Especially the two quetais on the left and right, and the towering Wufeng Tower together form a fire trap with a length of 100 meters wide. The defenders can completely block it as long as they fire guns on it. Even if the Qi family army breaks through, it will be useless.
Going in will die
Of course, this is actually useless.
Because if you really want to attack, you don’t have to go here at all. On the wall at the end of the Quetai, there is a gate outside, that is, the left and right Quemen. You can go out directly through these two gates, and then bypass the fire trap of the Meridian Gate to attack the palace wall. Although there is a moat that is dozens of meters wide to block it, who should consider the moat this season?
It's so cold that it's enough to run away!
But Yang Feng did not launch an attack.
"Brother Yang?"
Xu Shou and others looked at him in confusion.
“What is our purpose?”
Yang Feng said.
Xu Shou and others looked at each other in a daze. Only then did they remember what their purpose was?
Before, just being passionate, I thought about pulling the emperor off the horse. Now I have already pulled the emperor's belt and waited for the last pull...
But why did he pull him off?
Why did you have to pull him off and throw him off?
"First, severely punish those involved in the Wang Bao case and avenge the murdered brothers. Second, reissue the military pay and rewards owed, and the pensions for the victims and brothers who were killed in North Korea. Third, the imperial edict clearly recognizes that the great edict is still effective. What we do is not guilty is to act according to the great edict. On the contrary, all officials who obstruct us are guilty. Fourth, restore the system of Taizu, re-issuing the great edict and being collected for free for the people. Although this will definitely be intentional destroyed, it is not our business. As long as the court clearly does this, the legitimacy of what we do will be confirmed.
but……"
Yang Feng looked at them.
"Did you think about the future? Now we have broken the imperial city, killed a seal of the Sili and Supervisor, and even threatened the emperor. Will the emperor and the officials not take revenge in the future?"
He said.
Xu Shou and others were silent.
Indeed, it is impossible not to retaliate.
"I just said, let's just learn from those people outside the gates to leave the Great Wall and have fun."
Li Xin said angrily.
"This is also undesirable. Most of these brothers have relatives in their hometowns. Doing so will definitely affect their relatives. We cannot affect their relatives, and we must force the emperor to never dare to take revenge. As for how to do it, I have actually thought about it. I just want to ask if you would like to continue listening to me in the future."
Yang Feng said.
"Brother Yang, don't worry, you can be happy even if you follow you.
I have had enough of those officials. Even when I follow Mr. Qi, I would rather be happy with you. My brothers are not afraid of death. If they are afraid of death, they will not be the savior of being a soldier. They are afraid of living a low life. They have to lower their heads in front of Mr. Guan and eunuchs. They have to lower their heads in front of those eunuchs. They have to lower their heads in front of those gentry on weekdays.
Marshal Qi is so capable, he is not as alive as a dog.
When he saw a soldier, he had to bow first.
Brothers, I will follow you for the first time and feel that I live like a dog but like a human.
The brothers just don’t join the army and go back to their hometowns. They have to be dogs in front of gentry and officials. No one wants to be dogs. They are upright and honest, even if they die, they are better than being dogs."
Hu Huaide said.
"Yes, brothers will not have a good result when they go back. Zhao Ge Lao is from Lanxi. The gentry and officials of Jinhua Prefecture only follow his leader. With just one word, local gentry and officials can kill us.
We can't go back.
It is not possible to continue to serve as a military officer for the court.
Those officials will still find opportunities to cheat us in the future.
Only by following Brother Yang can the brothers pick up the group in the future. As long as we pick up the group, the emperor and the officials will be afraid of us, and they will not dare to touch our relatives in their hometown. If they dare to seek revenge on our relatives, then we will enter the capital to see if the lives of our relatives are valuable or the emperors and nobles in the capital are valuable."
Li Wuyi said.
Among these people, he is the most educated and understands things the most.
This is actually their only choice.
They could not join the army again, and they would be gradually killed or go home. The officials and gentry from their hometowns would also kill them. Not only them, but their families were the same. It would be impossible for those officials to not take revenge. But if they picked up the group and had the ability to enter the capital at any time under the leadership of a commander like Yang Feng, there would be no need to worry about this problem at all. Whoever dared to take revenge on their family would directly enter the capital, and the rest would be dealt with by the emperor and the other dukes.
Anyway, you can do it. Anyway, it will be worth the lives of our family, the princes and nobles.
They all have numbers.
It's so much that it's impossible to be a loyal minister and obey the people.
"That's fine, I'll arrange the rest."
Yang Feng said.
"Then now?"
Li Wuyi signaled at Wufeng Tower with his eyes.
"wait!"
Yang Feng said.
At this moment, a group of eunuchs suddenly walked out of the Quezuo Gate, not far from them. The leader was a thirty-year-old with a smile on his face while bowing to the Qi family army in front of the door. The little eunuchs behind him, who should be precise, should be called the little firemen. They all carried wine jars, food boxes, etc., and they smelled the fragrance before they even walked in front of him.
"Who is Yi Shi Yang?"
He kept bowing and said.
Yang Feng took a step forward...
"Yang Yishi is indeed handsome and extraordinary. He looks like a hero. His little name is Jinzhong. He followed Mr. Sun to do business. He came to send the emperor's gift of wine and food to comfort you all by the order of the governor."
The eunuch said with a smile.
"Can't poison it?"
Xu Shou sneered.
The eunuch unhesitated the seal of the jar without hesitation, scooped out the wine bowl and drank it all, and then took the empty bowl to signal to Xu Shou...
"Brother-in-law?"
Yang Feng suddenly asked with a strange look on his face.
"The little one is Li Jinzhong."
