Chapter 313 Revenge! The enemy is in the Forbidden City!
Chapter 313: Revenge! The enemy is in the Forbidden City!
"Eunuch Liu, Eunuch Gu, you go find a white cloth and get some blood..."
Xie Hong's strategy is not decided casually.
The border army has long been famous, and the sight of the outer court has also been focused on them. Mobilizing them into the palace will be too exciting to the outer court, and it may directly evolve into street fighting, of course it is not feasible. It is better to use them to attract the main force of the Beijing camp and then use the Guards as the killer. This is what Xie Hong said about the east and the west.
As for the combat effectiveness of the Guards, except for the two leaders Xie Hong and Zhengde, they were not confident. When Gu Dayong and others heard that they wanted to use them, their faces were pale, let alone the outside world.
This is a power that is almost ignored. When facing the imperial guards, which are known as the most powerful in the world, Xie Hong is not sure how much power they can exert, otherwise he would not have tried his best to make up for it in equipment.
However, Xie Hong still placed his hope on them. In addition to being able to use people's hearts, he also had some other arrangements.
It is precisely because of this neglect that the strategy of fighting against the east and west was very successful. Except for the thousands of cavalry and the unavoidable imperial horse imprisonment army, other military forces in the capital were attracted to the Military Equipment Department.
But this is not enough, you have to fight slow.
There are many people involved in decision-making among civil officials, which is destined to be inefficient in decision-making and it is slow to change the strategy set in advance. On Xie Hong's side, as long as Zhengde supports him, it is almost his one-man show. The efficiency is as high as possible. As long as the strategy is determined, it can be implemented immediately.
The target is of course the Forbidden City. The faster the killing of Wang Yue and his gangsters, the better. At least, you must take action before someone discovers that there is no one in Kunning Palace!
Xie Hong originally planned to set off after assembling the team, but Liu Jin had created new tricks, so he naturally had to use them. The louder the slogans, the better.
What a loud slogan to avenge the Emperor! In order to be worthy of this loud slogan, you have to cast a blood flag.
"Brother Xie, what are these things for?" The seven eunuchs looked at each other. However, Gu Dayong and Xie Hong had the best personal relationship. The fat man asked with a nervous mood.
Everything that happened today is very strange and really makes people confused. It’s okay to use the white cloth. Maybe Lao Liu said the wrong thing, the emperor wanted to kill him or something. This is the unspoken rule in the palace, and everyone understands it. But what does it mean to ask for blood? You have to bleed before strangling?
This is a bit too much. Long live the relationship, is it really angry?
Xie Hong replied casually: "Oh, make a blood flag. We want to avenge Emperor Xiaozong, of course we have to call out the banner. You guys hurry up. When the emperor changes his clothes, we will set off."
Blood Flag? Revenge Emperor Xiaozong? Everyone, including the whistleblower Liu Jin, was stunned. These two masters were really resolute. Someone just raised some doubts, and these two people were going to take revenge directly with the banner.
While being frightened, Liu Jin was even more fortunate. Needless to say, it must be Xie Hong's idea for Master Long Sui. Such a person is really a hedgehog and must not be provoked. The censors are just news and the news is reported and this person takes revenge.
And judging from this attitude, it seems that he is going to lead a group of boy scouts to attack the Forbidden City. Not to mention whether the elite or not, there are nearly 10,000 imperial guards! Mom, I am cruel to myself and even more cruel to the enemy! Which immortal is this? This ruthlessness is so terrible.
"Sir Xie, the imperial kitchen is a bit far away from here, I have to ask for blood..." Ma Yongcheng said hesitantly. He actually wanted to ask what was going on with revenge. After all, it was a little too sudden. But when Xie Hong looked calm, there was a layer of murderous aura in his eyes, he couldn't ask what he said.
"The old emperor died in an unknown way. This revenge should have been avenged long ago! The old slave was powerless and didn't even dare to speak out. He could only bleed silently in his heart. Today, with Master Long Live and Lord Xie, he must be fair! Although I can't fight and work for the old emperor, I, Old Liu, dare to bleed!"
Liu Jin saw the opportunity very quickly. When he was speaking, he took out a knife from somewhere. He took a big bowl and slashed the knife on his arm. Blood gushed out and flowed into the bowl.
After doing this, he loudly echoed Xie Hong again, his words were passionate, and the bloody scene showed a tragic spirit.
The dead eunuch was indeed cruel enough. Xie Hong looked up and was a little surprised. It seemed that Liu Jin had also realized it and was so cruel that he was so grateful.
"We're here too." Although the third father-in-law had no moral integrity, he had some ruthlessness. Well, he wouldn't be determined to get a knife under him if he was not ruthless. He took a step forward, took the knife from Liu Jin's hand, and also gave himself a knife as Liu Jin did.
"Our family..." Several other eunuchs also reacted. This was to follow the emperor to avenge the old emperor. When would they wait until they didn't show up? Who is the enemy? I don't know if they can avenge them, but their current performance will definitely be remembered in the heart of Long Live.
"Come on the pen!" The eunuchs were so cruel, Xie Hong would not be negligent. He gave the order and sent a pen and a roll of white cloth. With a wave of his pen, he wrote four big words on it: "Avenge revenge!"
"Send the order and raise the flag and make an oath!"
"Here!"
Although Xie Hong and Zhengde made a quick decision, the Guards' assembly speed was not slow, and the three thousand people had already been arranged. Xie Hong's actions in Xuanfu were not in vain. His sincere support for Zhengde made the guards' teenagers very enthusiastic and trained very hard. Even baseball can quickly get started, so it is natural to be queuing up in a queue.
The place where they gather is in Jiaziyuan!
"Welcome to the Emperor and welcome to Lord Xie!"
As soon as Xie Hong and Zhengde showed up, the neat shouts of three thousand people rushed towards him like a tsunami. Looking at the firm faces and the enthusiasm in their eyes, Xie Hong suddenly felt aroused, the morale of the army was available, and the guards were famous all over the world, just today! He nodded, everything went smoothly, well, except for the second brother's outfit...
After Xie Hong's unique guidance, Zhengde left his heart and naturally returned to a relatively normal state. Therefore, he changed his clothes specially... He originally wore the wedding clothes he wore during the wedding, but of course it was not good for combat clothes, and it was a bit too eye-catching. He is wearing the No. 2 clothing that Xie Hong made during the military parade in Xuanfu that day.
This outfit is a military uniform, but it is not the military uniform of this era, but the same as the military uniforms of later generations, with shiny leather boots, straight tops, and a large-brimmed hat...
The only thing that made Xie Hong more pleased was that this outfit was black. In addition to the hidden effect, it also fits the theme of revenge, at least stronger than the big red cloak and sea blue feathers.
"Brothers, do you know who you are?" Xie Hong took a step forward and shouted loudly.
"The Emperor's Guards!" The shouts were neat.
"What does the Guards do?" Xie Hong asked again.
"For the Lord, act thunderously! For the country's wings are as prosperous as a forest! For the robbery and thugs are in full swing! The guards are as strong as a mountain!" The guards' sentiments became even more enthusiastic. They knew this slogan of the army from the beginning, but it was the first time they shouted it out openly.
"Very good." Xie Hong nodded, pointed to Xi'an Gate, and waved a big circle. "You should all know what happened today. Someone! Without the emperor's permission, he dispatched troops privately and surrounded the emperor's guards. They were about to infringe on the rebellion! Now is the time for the guards to guard the emperor."
"I wish to die for the emperor!" When I just knew how bad the situation was, the young men were in the same mood as the squadron leader. However, after seeing Zhengde's sudden appearance and Xie Hong's encouragement, no one was worried at this time. Everyone was full of passion and wanted to fight immediately.
"Who is it? He is openly investigated and secretly in Xuanfu, and eliminated corruption and traitors? Who is it? He is compassionate with the military and public opinion of Xuanfu, and repaid wages to make the military and civilians of Xuanfu have no worries about food and clothing? Who is it..."
"It's the Emperor! It's the Emperor." The people of Xuanfu's love for Zhengde was originally due to this. If there were no such things, the emperor would be just a vague image to them. However, after experiencing these things and spending time with Zhengde day and night, this love has been sublimated into a supreme loyalty.
"Do you know? Who is it, who is greedy for military pay, so that the soldiers on the border do not cover their clothes and eat without filling their stomachs? Who is it, who deceives the superiors and hides the soldiers from their deaths, but they hide their military achievements, but who is it, who actually raises a sword to the emperor?"
"He is a corrupt official, a traitor!" Although the suffering at the border was due to the annual invasion of the Tartars, if it weren't for the group of crazy corrupt officials, how could the soldiers of the border army not beat the Tartars? They deducted military pay and provided inferior equipment. Many of the border soldiers' equipment could not be as good as the so-called elite soldiers of the Tartars' tent.
No matter how elite they are, they are just Tartars. Iron and wood are both scarce things on the grassland and desert. Can they still be transformed? As a soldier of the Ming Dynasty's official army, their equipment is actually inferior to that of the Tartars. Why is this?
"These traitors not only wanted to murder the emperor, but also murdered the late emperor. The late emperor was a kind lord and very popular with the people. These traitors were afraid that Emperor Xiaozong would do a benevolent government, and they were afraid that Emperor Xiaozong would be polite to the people. Therefore, they attacked Emperor Xiaozong and the heroic lord died young... As the guards of the emperor, what should we do?"
"Avenge revenge!" The guardian was the original intention of the Guards to establish the army, and of course the revenge of the Emperor could only be washed away with blood.
Seeing that the morale of the army had begun to boil, Xie Hong didn't say anything more. He took a step back and looked at Zhengde, indicating that it was time for him to come out.
"Soldiers, the enemy is in the Forbidden City. I am with you, come with me, the target: Xihuamen!" Zhengde has never liked to talk about it in a long way, and the mood of the guards was completely rising at this time, so there was no need to incite him. He pointed out the target directly, then waved his hand decisively, and turned around and walked.
"Swear to break through Xihua Gate and take the Forbidden City straight!" The three thousand soldiers responded with a loud promise and followed closely.
With the departure of the Guards, civil wars in the imperial city were densely covered with clouds, and fierce battles were imminent.
