MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1336 Rebel

  Chapter 1336 A blow of defection

   "Anyone who dares to break into the palace with crowds of people is a traitor and will be killed without mercy!"

  General Wei Zhe of the Right Prison Gate led a team of imperial guards to the tower of Xuanwu Gate, shouted at the restless gate guards, and ordered the lieutenant general to throw the heads of the imperial guards who had cut off his hands and threw them in front of everyone.

  The torches were blazing, and they also illuminated the top of the city like daylight.

  The general on duty, Wei Zhe, appeared on the gate tower and directly killed several rebels, which immediately changed the situation above the gate tower. The Forbidden Army, who were still in shock just now, mostly calmed down now.

   "Everyone should keep their duties, don't walk around and make a commotion, no noise is allowed, keep the palace gates tightly, anyone who dares to make noise, run around and make a commotion, beheaded immediately!"

  Wei Zhe is also a general with great military exploits, and he came from a general background. The ancestor of the seventh generation was the general who conquered the North in the former Qin Dynasty. His ancestors were the prime minister of Tianshui County and the captain of Danyang in the Sui Dynasty. His father was also a fifth-rank official of the Tang Dynasty. Wei Zhemen became an official, Zuo Yiwei went to the north gate, and followed the holy ancestor to conquer Goguryeo. After the war, he was promoted to a guerrilla general.

After more than ten years of foreign towns in Liaodong, Zhenmobei, and Zhenxiyu, he lived in the frontier for a long time. Although he surrendered to all sides in these years, small rebellions have not stopped. Wei Zhe has gathered many Tiele, Turkic, and Goguryeo people under his name. The head of the thief, accumulated meritorious service, returned to the court and was promoted to the right Xiaowei Zhonglang general.

   Then he became General Youjianmen, a hero appreciated and trusted by the emperor.

Of course, Wei Zhe's official career can be so smooth, there is another more important point, he was originally married to the daughter of Ma Zhou, the prime minister of the Shengzu dynasty. His family has given him a lot of support.

   "Hurry up and report to the saint in the palace!" Wei Zhe confessed.

   Soon, Qiu Xinggong, Li Chongyi, Shi Renji and others gathered rebels to Xuanwu's sect.

   "Why didn't the Xuanwu Gate be won?"

  Seeing that the palace gates were closed and the city was heavily guarded, everyone frowned.

   At this time, although there were not many soldiers on the Xuanwu Gate, the Xuanwu Gate had always been dangerous.

   "The only way to break through the North Gate is to break through."

  Qiu Xinggong is a ruthless person who once cut his heart and soul to pieces. Although the situation is unfavorable at this time, there is no way back, and he can only attack by force.

  He ate and drank loudly and led the troops to attack the gate.

  Wei Zhe stood under the Guancheng, drew his bow and stretched his strings, and fired several arrows in a row, shooting at the last number of rebels.

   At this time.

  The emperor has arrived.

   Along the way, the emperor finally dressed neatly, and even put on armor.

  The emperor with a big red lacquer bow stood on the Xuanwu gate, and shouted at the chaotic soldiers below, "The emperor is here, who is rebelling?"

  The emperor asked the left and right to hold up the torches to illuminate the emperor's face.

  Under the light of the fire, the emperor stood on the gate tower majestically.

  Behind him, countless imperial guards roared and repeated the words of the emperor.

   Ever since, it echoed for a long time.

   "Qiu Xinggong, Shi Renji, you and others are all honorable officials of the court, why are you rebelling? Li Chongyi, Li Chonghui, you are my clan, how dare you rebel?"

   Several questions, the momentum is overwhelming.

The emperor shouted at all the soldiers under the city gate, "You are all my minions, why are you bewitched by these rebels? If you can surrender, kill Qiu Xinggong, Shi Renji and other rebels, forget the past, and be with me You are so rich!"

   "Slaying Qiu Xinggong and other rebel leaders, he will be named Marquis and rewarded with a thousand pieces of gold!"

There was a lot of trouble tonight, but there were only a few people who really knew the truth about the mutiny. These were Su Gui who contacted Li Chongyi, Qiu Xinggong and others, and then their respective in-laws, friends, children, confidants and others. They mainly relied on false imperial decrees to beat Wei. They are here to save King Qin's banner.

   Some unsuspecting soldiers were temporarily deceived and coerced.

  But at this moment, the emperor was standing on the top of the pass city. Who doesn't know the truth now?

  The imperial guards were originally guarding the palace and guarding the emperor, and they could often see the emperor, so they immediately recognized the person on the Xuanwu gate as the Supreme Nine Kings, and their voice was absolutely unmistakable.

  The imperial guards who knew what a horrible thing they had just been deceived into doing, were extremely angry in their hearts, both angry and shocked.

   Hearing the emperor's will at this time, he knew that this was the last chance.

   So, almost instantly.

  Thousands of people who had managed to put together with great difficulty turned their backs in an instant.

  Qiu Xinggong and the other leaders were immediately surrounded by raging and angry Forbidden Army, and attacked in groups.

  The emperor stood coldly on the top of the city, never letting Wei Zhe open the Xuanwu Gate, and watched the forbidden troops attack each other.

   Soon, Qiu Xinggong, Li Chongyi and the others were cut into pieces. The excited and enraged Imperial Army dismembered them into pieces and looted them. The ones they snatched were held like treasures, waiting for rewards.

   The riots gradually calmed down.

   But the emperor still did not order to open the door.

  Wei Zhe hanged himself from the city, and ordered everyone outside the north gate to put down their weapons.

  ······

   A restless night passed.

  The day finally dawned.

  The rebellion in front of the Xuanwu Gate last night was quickly quelled, but Luoyang City and outside the city were still implicated, and some places even lasted until the middle of the night before subsiding.

  The emperor stayed at Xuanwu Gate all the time.

   It was not until dawn that the palace gate was opened.

  But the imperial guards were strictly guarded, and the governors of the eastern and western prefectures had to go through multiple checks before they were allowed to enter the palace to see the saint.

   Li Yin had already removed his armor and was sitting in the tower of Xuanwu Gate.

  The north gate is still locked.

   But there were no more rioting soldiers outside the door, but the smell of blood still remained.

  Qiu Xinggong and other leaders of dozens of conspiratorial leaders hung their heads on the walls on both sides of the Xuanwu Gate.

   "I'm waiting for capital punishment!"

  A group of ministers appeared in front of the emperor in panic.

  Li Yin is holding a cup of tea.

   "I never imagined that there would be someone who wanted to imitate the ancestors and launch the Xuanwumen palace coup."

   All the chief ministers were sweating on their foreheads.

  It was cold, but the cold sweat was flowing.

   "I never imagined that my eldest son would rebel against me!"

   "Where is Li Xiang now?"

  Zhongshu Ling Li Yifu replied in fear, "The common man Li Xiang is now under the control of Zhongshu Province."

   "Isn't he dead yet?" The emperor's words were shockingly cold.

   "Call the generals of the Tenth Army of the North Yam, the Twelve Guards Generals of the South Yam, the generals, and the generals of the Twenty Houses."

  The emperor said coldly.

   There was a mutiny, and it was at the Xuanwu Gate. Although this was the second time in Tang Dynasty, it had been thirty-six years since the last time.

  The last time, the emperor was only eight years old. He personally felt the cruelty of the mutiny in the Qin Palace, and the shadow left behind is still there.

   Several ruling members of the Privy Council were called to step forward.

  What happened last night, now the emperor has no trust in the soldiers and horses of the capital, especially the Forbidden Army at the North Gate, so a thorough cleansing is necessary.

   "The Left and Right Jianmen Mansion was changed to belong to the Beiya, and changed to the Left and Right Jianmen Army."

  Nanya Twelve Guards and Four Mansions, the former left and right Beishen mansions have been changed to Zuo Qianniu and transferred to Bei Ya, and now the left and right prison gates are also transferred to Bei Ya.

  Then a new pattern of twelve guards in the south and twelve armies in the north will be formed.

  Beiya Twelve Army is composed of the Left and Right Qianniu Army and the Left and Right Jianmen Army in the original Sifu, plus the Left and Right Habayashi Army, the Left and Right Shenji Army, plus the Left and Right Jinwu Army and the Left and Right Shence Army.

  The twelve guards of Nanya are the left and right guards, the left and right Wu guards, the left and right Wuhou guards, the left and right Xiao guards, the left and right guards, and the left guard leading the army.

  A storm is brewing.

The mutiny of the Su family was too hasty. Although it took some time to plan and communicate, and they were even able to coerce and launch it, but even with a general like Qiu Xinggong, a clan like Li Chongyi, and meritorious children like Shi Renji, There are also princes such as King Teng and King Han.

   In the final analysis, this is a mob.

  When Li Shimin rebelled, his Qin Palace was a shogunate that had fought in the world for many years, and all the civil and military men under him were brothers who lived and died together, prospered, prospered, and lost.

  In fact, they have been planning for several years, formulated various plans, and made various preparations. Although the final launch was different from the plan, and it was a bit hasty, they were still of one mind.

  At least the eight hundred guards in Prince Qin's Mansion knew exactly what they were going to do.

   Qiu Xinggong and his group can only be said to be a group of bold people.

  They didn't even control the Xuanwu Gate, so they dared to attack, especially when they got to the Xuanwu Gate, they had already made such a big commotion, which made their rebellion impossible to succeed at the beginning.

  Cheng Chumo and Niu Jianwu stood at the corner, and they didn't expect such a big thing to happen after they had just been conferred as privy secretaries and only a few days after taking office.

   Privy envoy Li Ji was also disgraced. Such a thing happened at the feet of the emperor. The first rebellion was naturally Qiu Xinggong and others, but as the privy envoy in charge of military affairs, he also had an unshirkable responsibility.

  Now I can only think of a way to make amends and make up for it as much as possible.

  Li Ji proposed to the emperor to send the prime minister and the ruling party in a group of two, plus an **** to go to the camps to pass the decree to appease the troops.

   After the morale of the army is stabilized, the barracks will be reorganized and the battalions will exchange defense areas.

The Suwei system in Luoyang City is divided into three parts. One is the Beiya Imperial Guard. The Beiya Imperial Guard is a standing army. It is known as the Emperor Yuan Cong. It has been expanding over the years. It also defended Chang'an in Xijing, as well as Tongguan, Puyin, Heyang, Wulao and other important towns on the outskirts of Gyeonggi.

   Even rotate the defense of border towns and participate in combat missions.

The Imperial Army of the Beiya was also transferred to Luoyang by rotation to serve as guards and other tasks, but among them, the left and right prison gates, the left and right Qianniu, and the left and right Jinwu were also called the internal forbidden army, because they each had their own special tasks, such as guarding the palace at the left and right prison gates. The head of the sect has these identities, Zuo Qianniu is in charge of guards and followers, Zui Jinwu is in charge of street security in the outer city of Chang'an and the gate defense of the outer nine gates.

  Nanya is also divided into inner government soldiers and outer government soldiers. The inner guards are three guards and five mansions, and the three inner guards of Qin Xunyi. Among them, the left and right guards each govern one of the Qinwei mansions, two of the Xunwei mansions and Yiwei mansions, and the other ten guards each only govern one Yiwei mansion, so In fact, there are a total of 20 Nanya Neiwei Mansions, all of which are under the command of General Zhonglang.

  The foreign soldiers commanded by the guards are naturally the Zhechong mansions outside Beijing. There are now more than 800 Zhechong mansions across the country, with a total of about 800,000 Zhechong mansions.

  These soldiers from the foreign government took turns going to the capital to stay in the guard, to guard the frontier, and to be on duty at the military mansion.

  According to the system since Zhenguan, the foreign soldiers of the twelve guards maintained a number of 3,000 for each guard in Beijing, so the actual number of soldiers in Beijing was 36,000.

  These 36,000 people went to the Beijing Fan, and they were rotated regularly, and the number was always maintained. They were led by the Zhonglang General of the various guards, and they were stationed in various places in the suburbs of Beijing. Each guard had 3,000 people and was divided into three battalions.

  Thus, the permanent guard force in Gyeonggi is actually the 36th Battalion of the Outer House Guards of the Southern Yamen stationed in the outskirts of Beijing, and the 20th Battalion of the Inner Houses stationed outside the four cities, and some of them serve as guards for the Palace Guards.

  As for the armies of the Beiya, the Outer Forbidden Army is responsible for guarding the important areas of Gyeonggi, and the Internal Forbidden Army is responsible for the palace ban, city defense and residential guards.

   Among them, the Foreign Imperial Army is also responsible for permanent stationing at the North Gate, that is, outside the Xuanwu Gate. There are mainly Baiqi Battalion, Qianqi Battalion, Flying Cavalry Battalion, Shenji Battalion, Habayashi Lang Battalion, etc.

  In general, this system has been in existence for nearly 30 years, and the effect is still good after operation. The northern and southern yamen are balanced with each other, and the internal guards check and monitor each other.

  That's why Gyeonggi has been stable for more than 30 years.
