Chapter 427: Officials Force the People to Revolt (1)
The incident further fermented and heated up.
The government used yamen to capture the "disrupted people", which intensified the victims' hatred for the court, and the petitions that had originally adhered to order also became unordered. On the 26th day of the 12th lunar month and 27th day of the 12th lunar month, incidents of disaster victims violently attacking the government, causing death and injury to many yamen. The people were also severely suppressed, and almost no people involved in the riots came out of the government alive.
Although the victims who caused trouble were only a few of the thousands, it attracted the imperial court to "clearize" the entire victims. On the afternoon of the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, after an emergency meeting, the court decided to drive all victims out of Chang'an City and not allow them to spend the winter in Chang'an City.
As Jingzhao Prefecture and the Liufang Office began to drive away refugees in the streets and alleys, and treated their people as if they were guarding against floods and beasts, the court's reputation among the victims and even ordinary people went completely bankrupt. The people entered Chang'an City in hopes that they could survive this cold winter after their houses collapsed. Now they are not allowed to stay in the city, which means they have to sleep in the wilderness in the snow. How can they live?
Rebellion began to be brewing among the people. The gentry and land security guards who were suppressed by the court became the initiators of the organization of this resistance. They contacted each other and also made refugees from all over the world contact each other.
At this time, the court blindly thought that the victims did not dare to confront the imperial court, so they could only leave the city with their tails in their arms, and once they drove away these victims, they could have a safe New Year in Chang'an City. Who knew that these unarmed sick cats would definitely be as fierce as a tiger.
The first and second batches of people were driven out of the city from the north gate on the 27th day of the 12th lunar month because the rebels' barracks were in the southeast of the city. The victims walked through the north gate and would not attract sneak attacks from the army. The court did not dare to drive too many victims out of the city at one time to prevent chaos from happening in the city gate, so that the rebels could take advantage of it. The first two batches of victims were about 20% of the total number of victims, including one or two thousand men, women, young and old. Most of them were women and children, and this group of people were also the last batch of victims entering Chang'an City. The unstable roots in Chang'an City led to them being driven out of the city first.
As a result, it was snowing heavily on the night of the 27th day of the 12th lunar month, and the temperature reached the point where dripping water turned into ice. The next morning, the heavy snow still did not stop, and more than 30% of the two groups of victims who were driven out of the city were frozen to death overnight. The rest were frostbite to varying degrees. The victims who had not been driven out of the city were fortunate to spend the coldest night of the winter of the year. When they learned that the fellow believers who believed in the same god were seriously injured outside the city, they could no longer suppress their hatred and concerns about their future survival.
A large-scale riot in Chang'an City suddenly exploded in the outer city of Chang'an City on the morning of the 28th day of the 12th lunar month and spread rapidly.
Unlike those rioters who only know how to burn, kill, loot and loot. This time, the victims of the Guanzhong Snow Disaster launched a "coup" against the Dashun Dynasty court. Their finger was not the ordinary people or wealthy families in the city, but the government government offices of the court, and further rushed to the inner city to approach the palace city. Due to the blind arrogance of Jingzhao Mansion and the Liufangsi, the Liufangsi, the Liufangsi, the intentions were also incorrectly estimated, which made them hastily respond when they learned that the victims organized to capture the inner city gate in an orderly manner. Although the Liufangsi, the Liufangsi, the Liufangsi, the most gates were guarded by the victims, but the victims opened the opening from the inner city south gate under the jurisdiction of Yunan Gate. The waterway at the south gate of the inner city became the breakthrough point for the victims. The victims entered the inner city through the waterway, and then attacked the inner city tower, occupying the city gate at the cost of casualties and injured. The victims continued to enter the inner city from the outer city and directly killed in the direction of the imperial city.
The court was not prepared for the rebellion under his nose. After sending away the troublesome general defense department commander Li Mi, the soldiers of the Six Defense Department, had been leisurely and comfortable life for more than half a year. Under the slightest defense training, facing a group of victims who could not even eat enough to eat and cut off wood and lifted up the army and flag, the number of people and weapons of the Six Defense Department were absolutely dominant and were still beaten to the ground for searching for teeth.
Compared with the victims who are united in the disaster, the soldiers of the Six Defense Department are very greedy for life and fear of death. Originally, they were holding the golden rice bowl of the Six Defense Department, but they were waiting for singing and dancing to enjoy peace and food and clothing. When they were old, they pushed their sons and grandsons to take over their positions. They relied on their salary and salary to buy land, and became a small landlord around Chang'an City. The torch was passed down from generation to generation. Now suddenly, the rioters appeared at the foot of the emperor, and the target was still them. At the critical moment of life and death, they all hoped that other Defense Departments would solve the chaos in front of them, while they were waiting behind to pick up the ready-made ones.
Some of the leaders of the defense department who are good at talking lack the confidence to fight bloody battles for the court until death. On weekdays, the court's speeches are loud and clear, but they shrink back when they encounter troubles, but they are the fastest people to escape.
The victims attacked from the south gate of the inner city to the south gate of the palace, and basically encountered no obstacles along the way. At this time, the Imperial Guard immediately closed the palace gate after receiving the report, and a bloody battle occurred in front of the south gate of the palace.
At this time, the chaos in the palace city was a mess. A few days ago, he was scolding the victims of the disaster as the rioters in court discussions. Unexpectedly, he made a promise that the victims of the disaster really rebelled, and he was more combative than expected. The 28th day of the twelfth lunar month was also the last court discussion before the New Year. As a result, the ministers were blocked in the palace gate and could not return home.
The Imperial Guard was mobilizing bloody battles with the rioters in an orderly manner, while these officials were panicked in Fengcui Palace. They didn't know what the current situation of the rioters was, whether there were only the rioters outside or other factors mixed in. What they were most worried about was the 70,000 rebels in Huaji'an who remained unmoved outside the city. If the rebels joined this time, it would mean that their good days would end. These officials were also speculating that since the rioters were so rampant that they were attacking the palace gate, it was very likely that the entire Chang'an City would be occupied by them. Even if they could pacify the rioters in the city, they could not suppress the rebels outside the city's benefits.
When Su Yan, who was originally in the Wu Dynasty of Fengcui Palace, got a rebellion in the city, and when the rioters had already captured the south gate of the inner city, he hurriedly threw down all the ministers in the court and returned to Yaqian Hall with a few officials, using Yaqian Hall as the command center to organize the quelling rebellion in Chang'an City. Shortly after Su Yan arrived at Yaqian Hall, he received news that the palace gate was attacked by the rioters on a large scale.
"What's going on outside?" Su Yan glared at the officials of the Ministry of War to question.
