When Fan Qiong arrived with his own soldiers, three groups of guests had already arrived at Prince Yun's Mansion.
Most of the first group were ordinary people, including many gangsters. They rushed in not looking for treasures, but instead looked for food everywhere. Every one of them was so hungry that their eyes glowed green.
The second and third groups were all rebels.
Everyone knows that when the Emperor was still in Tokyo, Prince Yun was the most favored, and there were countless treasures hidden in the family.
The first group of rebels had just driven away the people who were snatching food, and the second group of rebels rushed to the gate of the palace. The two groups of rebels did not fight at first, but soon they had conflicts over the competition for treasures, and started a bloody battle directly inside the palace.
"Put down your weapons, I am the front officer of the palace..."
Fan Qiong suddenly remembered that the Song Dynasty was gone and that it was useless to say that he was in charge of the front office. He immediately changed his words and said: "I am Fan Qiong, the Tokyo pacifier appointed by Marshal Zhu. I have taken over Prince Yun's palace. You can't wait to return to camp as soon as possible."
mistaken!"
There is a lively fight going on inside, how could it stop with just a few words?
"Fight in!" Fan Qiong could only be forceful.
His soldiers were all wearing armor and riding fine horses, killing the rebels like tigers among sheep.
In the blink of an eye, the two groups of rebel soldiers were killed and dispersed, leaving corpses on the ground and fled.
Fan Qiong summoned two of his confidants and asked them to lead troops to carry the goods.
Then, Fan Qiong led his troops and rushed to the inner house. He wanted to eat the treasures secretly, and he would not let go of his great achievements in capturing King Yun.
But on the wall of the inner house, a civil servant suddenly appeared, it was Wang Sima Yuan Mao.
Yuan Mao pointed at Fan Qiong and angrily shouted: "I was ordered by Prime Minister Li to capture the whole family of the false King Yun, and I am just waiting for Marshal Zhu to lead his troops into the city. You don't know what is good for you, why don't you retreat quickly!"
Fan Qiong was surprised. This was probably true. Yuan Mao had already taken refuge with Li Bangyan.
Could it be that all this trip was in vain?
Just when Fan Qiong was hesitating to leave, a confidant came running over on horseback: "General, I didn't see any valuables in the warehouse of Prince Yun's Mansion, and there wasn't even much money left. I'm afraid it might have been robbed by the rioters."
Fan Qiong looked at Yuan Mao on the wall and saw the man with a sneer on his face, and immediately understood.
The valuables in Prince Yun's Mansion must have been moved away in advance by Yuan Mao, Wang Sima!
"You dare to embezzle property behind Prime Minister Li's back. I will arrest you today for interrogation," Fan Qiong ordered, "Kill in!"
There must be many cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings in the palace, which can be dedicated to Marshal Zhu. After catching Yuan Mao, he will torture and interrogate the whereabouts of other property, and then hack him to death with knives and silence him. This will just be the time to put away the lost things.
To the dead.
Yuan Mao was horrified: "How dare you do this, my bastard!" He turned to the leader of the guards and said, "General Guo, guard the inner palace of the palace and don't let the rebels step in."
Guo Yuntong encouraged the guards and said: "Cheer up, we are the eight handsome men, the real elite of the Tokyo Forbidden Army. He, Fan Qiong, is just a vacancy officer in the lower Forbidden Army, and he makes up for it by giving gifts to superior officers."
.A bastard who is not even worthy of carrying our shoes can actually lift the entire city's troops and horses. It is unforgivable that the king will not be destroyed until the country is destroyed! Guarding King Yun's family will ensure the wealth and wealth in the sky. You will fight with me today!"
"Guard King Yun, protect your wealth!" the deputy general took the opportunity to shout.
"Guard King Yun and protect wealth and honor!"
The palace guards followed and shouted.
Fighting soon broke out between the two sides.
Fan Qiong's soldiers all dismounted, brought wood from outside to knock on the door, and got ladders from nowhere to climb the wall.
This was the most intense and only "siege war" that broke out in the capital of the Song Dynasty during Ju Ming's attack on the Song Dynasty.
The two forbidden armies, which usually had no morale, now burst out with astonishing fighting will.
Fan Qiong's soldiers had finally suppressed bandits in Shandong. They had actually seen blood, and the armors they wore were all genuine.
As for the guards of Prince Yun's Mansion, they were usually very pampered. Their armors looked like they were made of iron, but in fact they were all patterns drawn on the surface of leather. Some people didn't even bother to wear leather armor, and simply painted patterns on cloth armor.
The battle lasted for more than a quarter of an hour, and Fan Qiong led his troops in. The guards broke up and fled, intending to climb out from the back garden wall.
"Don't let anyone go!" Fan Qiong wanted to kill and silence him.
Even if they can't be destroyed completely, the more people die, the better, lest everyone report him for embezzling property.
Yuan Mao was quickly caught and had several of his fingers cut off, and he said everything.
Fan Qiong divided his troops to retrieve the hidden treasures and rushed to the room where King Yun was. The guard who was in charge of guarding had already escaped, so he kicked the door open.
Zhu Ying had already untied Zhao Kai. When they heard the fighting outside, Prince Yun's family hid inside and shivered.
There was a loud noise when the door was kicked open, and Zhao Kai was so frightened that he hid under the table. When he saw that it was Fan Qiong who came in, Zhao Kai immediately shouted: "General Fan, save me, these guards are trying to kill me!"
Fan Qiong said happily: "It is indeed King Yun, tie him up!"
Zhao Kai was tied up for half a night, his hands and feet were still numb, and he was tied up with ropes.
Large boxes of cultural toys, calligraphy and paintings were moved to the garden and stacked by the soldiers. Yuan Mao had people pack them up. It was difficult to get rid of such treasures, so selling them would definitely attract attention. Fan Qiong planned to dedicate them all to Marshal Zhu.
As for the treasures that Yuan Mao and his guards smuggled out, they could steal them quietly.
…
In the south of the city, the Imperial College Library, where Ju Ming once worked.
Ten years ago, Huang Ai was the bookkeeper of Jiupin Library.
Ten years later, Huang Ai was still the chief clerk of the library, but his official salary had been promoted two levels, and he had a few more gray hairs on his temples.
From the moment the chaos broke out, the officials and craftsmen of the Imperial College Library followed the plan drawn up by Huang Ai and took their families, relatives and friends to take refuge here.
Once any rebels or civilians approached, everyone would shout in unison: "We are Marshal Zhu's former subordinates. Anyone who dares to come here will be beheaded!"
No one dares to harass me!
"Entering the city, the rebels have entered the city..."
Hearing shouts from outside, Huang Ai's legs went weak and he sat on the ground in a daze.
"Dad, go and greet Marshal Zhu quickly," the son reminded.
Huang Ai immediately regained his strength and went out with many proofreading, printing and engraving craftsmen.
Ju Ming's army entered the city from three directions: east, west, and south, and he himself took the Nanxun Gate.
People were kneeling on the ground outside the city. Xu Churen, the nominal left prime minister, was not present. The leader was Wu Min, who had been responsible for the whole thing.
Bai Shizhong, Zhao Ye and others, who were urging them to join forces to suppress the bandits, all knelt on the ground with their buttocks in the air.
Qin Hui hesitated for a few seconds and was about to kneel down, but saw Huang Guinian making a bow, so he straightened up his knees and made a bow instead.
Being involved in the whirlpool of political struggle, many people's personalities will change drastically.
Nie Shan, who was strong and upright before entering the capital, had already become a leader of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China after only three months as a central minister. At this moment, he knelt down to Ju Ming without any psychological burden.
Ju Ming's face was very ugly and he scolded: "You are all pretending to be important ministers of the Song Dynasty. You can't even maintain basic order. The city is in chaos. The fire has not stopped yet, but you still have the nerve to come out to greet it!"
Wu Min said: "Marshal Lang Jun Rongchun, Xu Churen, Zhong Shizhong, Zhang Shuye and others are in the city to calm the chaos and appease the people. We were afraid of neglecting Marshal Lang Jun, so we went out of the city to greet them."
Li Bangyan walked to Ju Ming and muttered: "This person is Wu Min."
Ju Ming sneered and said: "Of course I know him, he is the first person to invite you to write. When I was Tanhua Lang, he was already Zuosi Langguan."
Wu Min's expression changed after hearing this, and he quickly defended himself: "Mr. Lang, please calm down. The imperial pen was not invited by me, but by the treacherous minister Cai Jing."
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty used his imperial edict to govern the country directly, bypassing the three provinces, and ushered in a chaotic political ecology.
The first time Cai Jing asked for a royal pen was to promote Wu Min.
At that time, Wu Min did not have enough qualifications, and Liu Zhengfu blocked him from taking up the post. Cai Jing asked the emperor to recruit Wu Min to the palace, and this was the beginning of the rule of the country.
The title of "the first person to ask for imperial pens" is too heart-breaking. Once confirmed, Wu Min will be named in the history books, and Wu Min will be the person responsible for the demise of the Song Dynasty.
This pot was too big and Wu Min was unwilling to carry it, so he had to pass it on to Cai Jing.
"Take it!" Zhu Ming said expressionlessly.
Wu Min instantly went limp and was pinned to the ground by two sergeants.
Bai Shizhong and Zhao Ye were so frightened that they secretly winked at Li Bangyan with a look of pleading on their faces. The meaning was very obvious. They wanted Li Bangyan to say a few nice words, and they would definitely spend countless money afterwards.
Thanks for the goods.
Li Bangyan looked ahead and pretended not to see it.
"Quickly go and quell the chaos." Ju Ming ordered.
Zhu Dunru, who temporarily served as the prefect of Kaifeng, immediately rode into the city. Deng Chun and Geng Zhongnian brought the cavalry at his disposal.
While riding through the ministers, Zhu Dunru saw one person and shouted: "Brother Ji Shen, follow me into the city!"
Fu Zhirou, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly got up and followed.
After entering the city, Fu Zhirou said with envy: "It's so gratifying that brother Xizhen is appreciated by the marshal."
"It's not recommended by brother (Chen Yuyi)." Zhu Dunru said.
Chen Yuyi, Zhu Dunru, and Fu Zhirou are all among the "Eight Talents in Luozhong". Fu Zhirou is the grandson of Fu Bi.
At the beginning of Zhao Huan's accession to the throne, Zhu Dunru and Fu Zhirou went to Beijing together under the imperial edict. The former refused to conquer the new emperor because he felt that he was not good enough, while the latter was granted the title of Jinshi and stayed as an official.
The two of them rode a horse together and led the cavalry straight to the government office.
Shi Cao sent Zhao Ding to lead the officials to greet him: "Who is the chief?"
Zhu Dunru said: "I have been ordered to know the Kaifeng Mansion."
Zhao Ding said: "Please give the governor an order quickly to calm down the chaos in the city as soon as possible."
Zhu Dunru said: "I am not familiar with the details of the city, and I still need your help."
"As long as there is food, everything will be easy," Zhao Ding asked, "Has Marshal Zhu brought food?"
Zhu Dunru said: "Military rations are being transported to the city by ship. The marshal has also ordered the transportation of grains from Huaihei, Western Beijing, Sichuan and Shaanxi in advance. Today we will give porridge by mouth, and we will sell grain by mouth from tomorrow."
"Then there is no need to worry," Zhao Ding looked at the cavalry, "please lend me a sergeant."
Zhu Dunru felt that Zhao Ding was an official, so he said: "You can do your best."
Zhao Ding called all the officials from Kaifeng Prefecture, assigned tasks in units of Xiangfang, and designated the responsible persons for the subdistrict areas.
The responsible persons of these areas, each leading a team of cavalry, announced the news of the arrival of food into the city along the street. There was no need to suppress the troublemakers, just say that there would be no food if they came home late. After arriving at the relevant compartment, the chief of security was called to distribute the food.
For the task, if we couldn't find a security guard commander, we would temporarily appoint a few.
Zhao Ding could explain the matter of hundreds of thousands of people in just a few words.
The officials of Kaifeng Prefecture received the task and immediately took the cavalry to carry out the task. They spread the news along the streets, and the chaos quickly subsided. The people automatically ran back to the street where they were registered, and went home to wait for Marshal Zhu's soldiers to enter the city to release grain.
The officials called the chief of security and assigned the task to every street and alley, and then to every household.
You can even re-count the registered population in Tokyo by distributing grain and giving porridge to see how many people died during this period.
Without the common people making trouble, the remaining rebels and gangsters would be easy to deal with. Among the Zhong divisions, Zhang Shuye, Yang Yun and others could lead troops to suppress them, not to mention that many other troops also came in.
Zhu Dunru sighed sincerely: "You have great talent, and I will definitely recommend it to Marshal Langjun."
"It's just a matter of duty." Zhao Ding said with his hands in hand.
