After walking out of Liu Chao's room, Jiang Wan put away her smile when she saw her subordinates dragging away the shivering Li Chao with a chicken.
Things were more difficult than he thought.
According to the map, it is not a troublesome task to arrest the members of the Pure Army in the palace. With the cooperation of the imperial guards, there is no need to worry about any trouble. Even if someone jumps over the wall in a hurry, he still has the strength to kill the opponent in the shortest time.
However, there is actually a fully-organized Pure Army in Nanhaizi, which is a bit troublesome.
According to Li Ergou's confession, the Jing army at Nanhaizi was better equipped than the imperial guards in the palace. In terms of weapons, they had all kinds of bows, crossbows and firearms, and in terms of armor, they even had a pair of them.
Wei Zhongxian spent a lot of money when building this Jing Army. If the training and tactics of these Jing Army soldiers can keep up with their equipment, Jiang Wan doesn't think that his Tingyu Tower can survive without paying for it.
Completely annihilate them at what cost.
Although, it is said that their number is only about two hundred.
"There will be no more guards in the palace for you!" Zhu Youjian had been waiting for his news. When he heard that the palace had been cleared, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, when he heard Jiang Wan asking for manpower, he frowned.
Wrinkled again.
"Besides, even if I give it to you, you can't command me!" Zhu Youjian looked at him and softened his tone: "Those who are banned in Suwei Palace are the children of the great noble families in Beijing and the families from their families.
General, these people will only listen to my orders!"
"I understand what your Majesty means!" Jiang Wan nodded: "I have no intention of mobilizing the palace guards!"
"The troops and horses outside the palace cannot be moved!" Zhu Youjian said: "It is too easy to cause trouble when mobilizing troops and horses in the middle of the night. If someone with intentions takes advantage of it, the situation that I have finally stabilized in the past few days will be ruined."
It was burned to the ground, and now without the simultaneous order from me and the cabinet, whoever dares to mobilize the troops outside the palace without authorization will be punished by the clan!"
"I Tingyulou has also recruited some people from the world of martial arts!" Jiang Wan said: "These people are mixed, both good and bad. If they enter the palace to protect your majesty, I will not dare to bring them here. However, if I work for your majesty, I will destroy these so-called evil people."
The army and the ministers should be able to do it consciously!"
"Are you sure?" Zhu Youjian was silent for a moment and asked.
Jiang Wan nodded, "It's better not to delay things, and things will change if they are delayed. I want to end them completely tonight!"
"Yes!" Zhu Youjian nodded slowly: "I promise you and the subordinates of Tingyulou, with the royal guard's badge, to act expediently tonight!"
"Wang Cheng'en!"
"The slave is here!"
"Inform the cabinet of my will and tell them to go down and patrol all over the capital without any obstruction!"
With Zhu Youjian's order, Jiang Wan almost didn't waste a moment and immediately led his men directly towards the west city. Along the way, more than a hundred people in his group were constantly inspected and interrogated.
Fortunately, during the emergency period, the efficiency of the cabinet was also very high. All the people who were inspecting and questioning were released without saying a word as soon as they saw the badges of the guards of the Tenth Prince's Palace.
Jiang Wan went directly to Qingyun Tower. It was pitch dark inside. With a wave of his hand, his subordinates unceremoniously broke the lock and swarmed in.
"Tell Gao Jin that I want him to gather all the available people, take care of the guys himself, and follow our people!"
He told his subordinates: "Those who are not afraid of death, those who dare to fight and kill, and those who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the court, even if they have done something that is not tolerated by the court in the past, as long as they can make a contribution today, they will be forgotten!"
Half an hour later, Gao Jin appeared in front of Jiang Wan with dozens of people.
Jiang Wan's brows suddenly wrinkled: "It's just a small number of people. I didn't tell you clearly. Are we going to do something big?"
"Sir, you underestimate Gao Jin!" Gao Jin chuckled: "If we only have this few manpower, do I, Gao Jin, have the nerve to come to see you? Sir, don't be anxious, brothers are gathering at a critical moment, and there are officers and soldiers questioning us on the road.
The brothers in the building also need some time to take it, at most half an hour is enough!"
"How many people can there be?" Jiang Wan's face softened a little.
"There are one or two hundred people here in my area, and the difference in other houses is almost the same!" Gao Jin calculated in his mind: "There are always four to five hundred people. With so many people, Xicheng is already a
It’s a big scene, as long as we don’t fight with the army, who do we have to fear?”
"We are just going to wipe out a rebel army!" Jiang Wan looked at him coldly: "Go and tell your people that it's still too late to withdraw at this time. If it's time to fight and you cower and fish in troubled waters, I'm going to kill someone!
"
Gao Jin's face turned solemn, and he turned around to talk to his people. From Jiang Wan's perspective, those people all looked excited and bloodthirsty on their faces, and few of them looked like they were flinching.
of.
Soon, a dozen, twenty or thirty people, led by people from Tingyu Tower, gathered towards Qingyun Tower. Gao Jin and his people stood outside Qingyun Tower holding torches.
Role models, these newcomers also began to line up in front of Qingyun Tower under the leadership of their leader.
"Xicheng Chang Wei led thirteen of his brothers to serve Mr. Jiang!"
"Xicheng Li Jiangong, led by thirty-seven brothers from his gang, came to serve Mr. Jiang!"
One by one, they called their names and raised their hands to Jiang Wan. After Jiang Wan nodded, they joined the queue in front of Qingyun Tower.
It didn't take half an hour, just a little more than one stick of incense. At the entrance of Qingyun Tower, there was already a dense crowd of people, and in the darkness in the distance, there were still people coming continuously.
The flames on the torches were beating and crackling, but there was no sound at all among the dark crowd. The only sound that was heard was the sound of people who kept arriving shouting their names loudly.
Jiang Wan stood upright at the door of Qingyun Tower with his hands behind his back. Almost everyone's eyes were focused on him.
A long time ago, many of them knew that there was an underground king above all the big guys in West City. Now that the mystery was revealed, everyone could finally see the true face of this king.
Compared to the Jiang Wan in front of them, it didn't matter what he looked like. They were standing far away and couldn't even see clearly what Jiang Wan looked like. However, this did not prevent them from casting their fiery eyes on the young man standing with his hands behind his back.
on people.
"Regardless of the past, if you are guilty, you will be exempted, and if you have merit, you will be rewarded!"
This was a promise given to them by the confidants of the new emperor. For these people who had been wandering between black and white, struggling between poverty and wealth, Jiang Wan at this moment was like a walking imperial edict.
.
This imperial edict contains everything they want - as long as they are willing to serve it!
