In addition to shrinking his strength, the third prince had other options.
There are about three thousand Jin Yiwei outside the capital. Once these people are let into the city, they can influence the situation in the capital.
However, listening to the continuous collapse of the tower above them, the third prince and Du Jiang fell silent.
Is it really possible?
I'm afraid that if you come in, you'll die!
That kind of iron ball can break even a building.
Can people resist it?
Not to mention the Jinyiwei, even the Vajra Arhat will be crushed to death when he comes!
Therefore, there is no other better way now than shrinking.
…
On the séance stage.
Li Linkou stared blankly at the third prince's residence that was bombarded.
After the towers there were penetrated, pieces of them collapsed, smoke curled up, people and animals were destroyed, and the mansion gradually turned into ruins.
What kind of power is this?
Is this the red cannon?
Is this the mighty general?
Riding on a horse, this thing is like a god descending to earth, okay?
Li Lin listened to the noise all night yesterday, but Zhao Xiaole sent someone to find him early in the morning. When he saw this scene, he was dumbfounded.
Damn it!
Mr. Hou, are you too awesome?
If there is such a thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Why are we still worried?
What bullshit Dongyue and King Pingxi, if this cannon is fired, won’t they all go to the west?
Zhao Xiaole had also taken off his mask at this moment, looked at Li Lin and said, "Master Li, what do you think of this thing?"
Li Lin nodded and said, "Master Marquis, such a divine object really has the power to destroy the heaven and the earth. If you give me a hundred, no, a thousand gates, I can issue a military order. If you don't destroy Pingdong within ten years,
Yue, I am willing to raise my head to see you!"
Zhao Xiaole broke his mouth and returned a thousand gates?
Do you know how much material and manpower this industry requires?
Go there and get a thousand doors for you?
Zhao Xiaole coughed and said, "Master Li, this artillery is far from as powerful as you think. It has a weakness!"
"Weakness? I don't believe it? How can such a divine object have a weakness?" Li Lin said to himself and wanted to go up and touch it.
Before they even touched it, they were quickly stopped by the gunner on the side, "The gun barrel has been beaten all night, and now it's so hot that adults can't even touch it!"
Li Lin could only endure his impulse.
Zhao Xiaole explained to him: "The firing rate of this cannon is too slow. If it weren't for this problem, I would have killed all the Jin Yiwei in the East Factory."
"So, we must control the capital in advance before the opponent fully understands the weaknesses of the artillery!"
Li Lin immediately nodded and said: "Master Hou, all subordinates will obey your orders!"
Zhao Xiaole chuckled when he saw this, "These three artillery pieces will guard the city gate for you, and you will send 500 people to me. I will cleanse the capital!"
After speaking, Zhao Xiaole patted Li Lin hard on the shoulder.
Li Lin was already confused after hearing this.
By the time he reacted, Zhao Xiaole had already ordered everyone to stop shooting and sent the artillery to the city gate for defense.
Zhang Xiaoyi asked for instructions: "Do we still need someone to defend this divine platform?"
Zhao Xiaole told him directly that he didn't need to, "You can take the God-Adventure Platform if you want, so why waste personnel on defense?"
Li Linze suddenly rushed to Zhao Xiaole with dancing and shouting, saying that the Marquis is wise and he must make good use of this artillery.
Let those Jin Yiwei who want to enter the city have a taste of the power!
After that, Li Lin immediately sent an order to the city gate defenders, dispatched 500 people in batches, and placed red cannons at two entrances at the front gate and one at the back gate to defend the city.
The five hundred soldiers who were transferred were directly under Zhao Xiaole's command.
Afterwards, Zhao Xiaole led the troops from the Ministry of War and Xichang and started cleaning along the streets of Beijing!
Before that, maybe Zhao Xiaole would find some evidence.
It's not needed at all now.
The Xichang fanzi had already gone deep into every corner of the capital to find out which family supported private armies and whose private armies participated in the looting.
After being kept confidential by Xichang Fanzi, the news was passed to Zhao Xiaole without any omissions.
This eliminates the need to talk nonsense with the other party.
…
The residence of the Minister of Industry was closely guarded by private troops in front of the residence.
When Zhao Xiaole arrived with a musket, the opponent immediately opened his bow and arrows and asked Zhao Xiaole and others to retreat.
Zhao Xiaole didn't waste any time and immediately ordered the musketeers to fire and shoot!
Those people couldn't understand what this thing was about. They just saw the musketeers lighting the fire, and they came up with iron pipes banging banging to greet them.
Most of the private armies were unable to resist. Even if they used arrows, their range was not as far as the opponent's.
Therefore, before he could figure out what was going on, he lost his life in several rounds of salvo fire.
Then, the general of the Ministry of War let out a loud roar, and the soldiers rushed into the residence of the Minister of Industry. Soon, there were shouts of killing and screams.
Not long after, the general, covered in blood, took out the Minister of Works and threw him in front of Zhao Xiaole.
When the minister of the Ministry of Industry saw Zhao Xiaole, he immediately shouted for mercy, "Master Hou, it's me, you don't recognize me anymore?"
"I even gave you a gift at the prime minister's banquet!"
Zhao Xiaole sneered, "You gave me gifts, and I remember you, but I didn't expect that the gifts you gave were actually robbed by private soldiers."
"If I had known this earlier, I should not have accepted your gift!"
"It's unfair, it's unfair! Lord Hou, these things were not done by me, but by the third prince who forced me to do them. My heart has always been with His Highness the Crown Prince, and I have never done anything to feel sorry for him!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry
Screaming injustice.
Zhao Xiaole nodded, "Very good, since you are so wronged, you must remember this in your next life and never deal with the third prince again!"
"Kill him!"
Zhao Xiaole turned his back calmly and handed the death sentence to the Minister of Industry.
How come the Minister of Industry is not afraid?
He yelled and wanted to argue, but the general behind him had already drawn his sword and chopped him to death on the street!
The shouts of the Minister of Industry also stopped abruptly.
His death was not unjust, Zhao Xiaole had a lot of evidence, and every one of them could lead to the death penalty for treason against the Minister of Industry.
Regarding the burning of the Marquis Mansion, the house opposite was owned by the Minister of Works.
And the other crimes he committed were also heinous!
By killing him so easily, Zhao Xiaole already felt that he was getting an advantage.
Nowadays, it is not only Zhao Xiaole’s right to kill first and then report later, but many people also have this right.
Although their rights are not legal.
But it does not prevent them from continuing to exercise their rights!
After executing the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhao Xiaole asked the general to collect his troops, protect the musketeers, and continue cleaning the next area.
Zhao Xiaole and the soldiers didn't sleep all night, but I don't know why? Even though they didn't sleep, their minds became clearer.
Although the soldiers were tired, they did not complain and continued to move forward with Zhao Xiaole.
But humans are not machines. When it’s time to rest, you must take a break.
Therefore, Zhao Xiaole only selected those large households with large private armies to be purged in order to speed up the process!
