This time there was no organization or discipline, and the private soldiers who had never even been on the battlefield collapsed completely.
Countless people began to flee.
There is no way to fight this battle, there are firearms of Ming Dynasty in the palace, so it cannot be won.
At this time, there were hey-ha-heh-ha voices from both ends of Suzaku Avenue.
Two armed armies appeared slowly, one on the left and one on the right, shouting chant.
"No, it's the Eight Sage King's army, when did they enter the city?"
"run!"
At this time, everyone knew that they had been fooled.
The Eight Sage Kings and Ji Wuji had prepared very early, but someone leaked the secret, and they were betrayed.
"Kill, kill the country's traitors, eliminate the rebel party, promote the country's prestige, and protect the emperor loyally!"
"Kill the country's thieves, eliminate the rebel party, promote the country's prestige, and protect the emperor loyally!"
Two large armies armed to the teeth launched an attack with sharp knives in their hands, slashing and stabbing at the frightened private army.
At the same time, the same thing happened to the thieves who tried to attack and kill the eight sage kings in front of the mansion of the eight sage kings.
First, they were bombarded by a burst of grenades, and the masters of the Eastern Tang National Formation they carried were bombarded to death. The rhythm of the attacking team was interrupted, and then a regular new army appeared, launching a fatal blow, encircling and killing them all.
Of course, this night's fight was not limited to these two places, but also the embassy of the Eastern Tang Kingdom and the residences of the princes and ministers who participated in the rebellion.
After a noisy night, the corpses on the street have been cleaned up, but the blood residue has not been cleaned up. The people in Haojing found that the embassy of the Eastern Tang Kingdom had been burned, leaving only the coke residue after fighting the fire.
"What happened last night? I seem to hear the sound of a large army entering the city and fighting."
"You don't know yet, last night there were thieves who attacked the palace, wanted to kill His Majesty, and even beat the Eight Worthy Kings, but they were all killed."
"What, dare to be so arrogant and cause chaos in the capital, who are they?"
"Who else can they be, those nobles who have lost power and power, have no ability, rely entirely on the sinful virtues of their ancestors, and only give money and bribes to flatter, don't know how to do practical things, and have been dismissed by the Eight Wise Kings. "
"Hmph, a group of rebels, they don't want to be loyal to the country at this time of crisis, even if they commit rebellion, they deserve to die!"
"I heard that the masterminds of these rebellious parties are people from Dongtang."
"What, it was made by a group of eight princes in Dongtang, the heart of killing me is not dead!"
Inside the Great Zhou Dynasty Hall.
Ji Wuji was extremely happy listening to the reports from the Eight Sage Kings and the generals, the results of last night's battle were brilliant.
Not only did they kill these rebellious ministers, but they also confiscated a huge amount of money to fill the treasury.
This gave him the confidence to carry this year's Nanban south.
"I heard that the son-in-law got it, the grenade is very useful?" Ji Wuji asked with a smile.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the grenades sent by Xu's concubine are really useful. It only takes a few dozen to blow up 4 or [-] enemies. The enemy thought we were equipped with Nanming's artillery, and they were all frightened. Brilliant results." A general guarding the palace wall stood up and replied.
The Baxian King also said: "I also used dozens of them when guarding the mansion. They are really easy to use. They can break through the magic circle of the Eastern Tang Dynasty at close range. It is really a miracle."
"Hahaha, as long as it is easy to use, then my Dazhou can be regarded as having a sharp weapon that can stand shoulder to shoulder with other countries, and the son-in-law should take the lead." Ji Wu said with a hearty smile.
The grenade can break through Dongtang's magic circle, so it should be very good against the northern barbarians.
"Your Majesty, the suppression of the rebellion depends entirely on the dedicated efforts of the generals. These small things from the minister can only be regarded as trivial achievements." Xu Ding stood up and said.
Ji Wuji said: "You don't need to be humble, son-in-law. This matter is also thanks to your precautions. I and the Eight Worthy Kings will be poisoned by these rebellious ministers. When my Great Zhou court is overthrown by them, I will be sorry for the ancestors." Zong and the people of Dazhou are dead, and no one can take away your first merit."
All the ministers of martial arts also said: "Your son-in-law has made great achievements, and you should be the leader!"
Even the Eighth Sage King said: "The son-in-law has made great contributions to our Great Zhou, and he really deserves a big reward. Your Majesty, please grant him a title."
Ji Wuji nodded slightly: "What the Eight Sage Kings said is reasonable, so let's make Xu Ding the Marquis of Xiaoyao, with eight thousand households in Shiyi. After Xuan'er's illness is cured, they will get married."
"Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers bowed.
This time, Xu Ding was not humble, but accepted the order and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Soon the court dispersed, and everyone left happily.
Xu Ding went to the emperor's study with the Eight Sage Kings.
Ji Wu was very happy to let people serve tea, and then encouraged Xu Ding: "My son-in-law, now you are the free prince of my Great Zhou, you must continue to work hard for the revival of Great Zhou."
Xu Ding naturally agreed.
Ji Wuji took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth, and then said with a little worry: "My son-in-law, can you make more grenades so that my royal guards and 20 troops of Dazhou can equip them? Our Da Zhou will not be afraid of the other Three Kingdoms and the Northern Man."
Xu Ding said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not possible, because the base gunpowder for making grenades is in Nanming's hands, and the output is completely restricted by him. They can only be equipped in small batches, and cannot be equipped on a large scale. They can only be used during critical battles."
"Hey! I'm still under the control of others, so I can only spend more money to buy the base medicine." Ji Wuji's heart that had just been ignited was suddenly frustrated, and he vomited a little unwillingly.
Gunpowder!Live, it's still Nanming's stuff, why can't we make it.
Xu Ding and the Eight Sage Kings looked at each other.
Eight Wise Kings said: "Your Majesty, everything will be fine. Take your time. Our Da Zhou's foundation is too weak and we need to develop slowly. I believe that according to the plan of the son-in-law, our Da Zhou will finally have the weapons of Western Qin one day." , there are firearms from Nanming, and formations from Dongtang."
"Your Majesty! After solving these judges, our next step is to clean up the city lords everywhere. Only a country with centripetal force can withstand all disasters." Xu Ding didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, Ji Wuji is a complicated person. People, talking too much about ideals is unrealistic.
Nor did he want to expose the fact that he could make gunpowder.
Mentioning these city lords who were holding back, Ji Wuji's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he asked, "My son-in-law, how do you want to get rid of them."
Eight Sage Kings also looked at Xu Ding curiously.
Xu Ding said: "Simple, there are many people involved in the rebellion this time, and many of them should be related to the city lords from various places. There will be letters and collusion in the family to do illegal things. Just act according to the law."
"It's not good. There are too many people involved in this way. If the cities unite, there will be civil war in Dazhou." Ji Wuji understood what Xu Ding meant, and took advantage of this incident to directly kill the city lords of the cities. Fully implement the system of prefectures and counties, and gather local government and financial power.
Xu Ding said: "Your Majesty, which one do you think is more difficult to accept than the civil war and the southern barbarians. Which one will cause more damage to the Great Zhou?"
"Of course it's the northern barbarians going south." Ji Wuji said without thinking.
The northern barbarians, who were unreasonable and moral, really came in, and Da Zhou would be devastated, and the smoke would be everywhere, and Da Zhou would be looted and riddled with holes.
The city lords of the various cities are also from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they still follow some rules when fighting and killing, and they will not do some things that exceed the bottom line.
Everyone will leave some room.
