Chapter 412: Cremation of Thousands of Rebels
Song brocade far away from the capital.
When the fleet landed for the second time, they received news from the capital again. It was said that Qin Chi's ex-wife was robbed and killed by mountain bandits on her way back to Huizhou with her children, and her two children were killed.
Qin Chi locked himself at home for three days.
No one is seen.
Wu Bohou sent people to the door, but they couldn't even get through the main gate.
Wu Jingyao gambled her life on a marriage that was calculated.
After learning that Song Jin was missing, she was the happiest person in the capital. After all, whether Song Jin was dead or missing, even if he came back in the future, his innocence would be questioned.
In the future, Song Jin will not be an obstacle to her. However, something like this happened in the Qin Mansion, and Qin Chi was at a vulnerable time. As a future in-law, Wu Bohou Mansion should show some performance. Wu Jingyao wanted to take advantage of the situation and came to the Qin Mansion in a carriage, but was stopped outside the door.
But don't wait for others to gossip.
That night, late at night.
The north gate suddenly opened, and a rebel army of more than 10,000 people, armed with sophisticated weapons, riding tall war horses and wearing armor, rushed into the capital and headed straight for the imperial palace.
Anyone who tried to stop them would be killed.
This cavalry is extremely brave.
When fighting, you will find that each of them can fight ten people at the same time. They have a fierceness that the soldiers in the capital do not have, and they kill people without any hesitation.
This is obviously not an ordinary teacher.
If Song Jin were here, he would have seen the clues.
These people are full of bandit spirits, and it is obvious that they are used to being bandits and killing people without hesitation. What's more, they are well-trained.
As the rebels rushed towards the palace.
A rebel force of a thousand men headed straight for the Qin residence.
The big man who was leading the group looked like a fierce bandit. There was a knife wound on his face that covered half of his head, leaving only one eye exposed. He looked towards the gate of the Qin Mansion, full of hatred.
"Damn Qin Qian'an, I will skin you alive today." The big man swung the mace to smash the door.
The subordinate beside him reminded, "Boss, the lord said he wants to capture him alive."
"Get lost! If we don't kill him, we'll make him suffer a fate worse than death. Not only did I lose a bunch of brothers, but I also had to be slandered by this dog scholar. I've never been so humiliated in my entire life."
The rebels who rushed up from behind heard it.
Everyone started to make a fuss and sympathized with the big man.
This person was the confidant who was arranged by Helian Kai to kill Qin Chi's wife and children not long ago.
Who knew that when they went there, they were ambushed again.
All the brothers he brought with him died! He was the only one who escaped by chance.
This matter is not over yet, the man surnamed Qin is throwing dirty water on them, saying that his wife is missing and his two children are dead, what does it have to do with them? Not to mention killing someone, he didn't even see them.
He was so angry.
But he didn't know that even more anger was yet to come.
When they broke down the door of the Qin Mansion.
After thousands of people rushed into the Qin Mansion, they found it quiet inside, without any movement. The people walking in front thought it was an ambush and waited for a long time but nothing happened.
Let the soldiers holding shields go forward first.
They began to search the Qin Mansion.
It was just as I felt at the beginning, there was no one here, and what they said about closing the door and not seeing visitors was just another lie.
"That's not right. The spies said last night that they saw people from the Qin Mansion going out to buy things as usual. When the Wu family came knocking on the door, someone opened it." It didn't make sense that there would be no one there when they arrived.
A thousand rebels broke into the Qin Mansion.
A group of people who acted at night silently assassinated more than a dozen rebels guarding the gate.
Someone else went to close the gate of Qin's mansion.
After a while, flames quickly rose up around the Qin Mansion. The direction and speed of the fire were abnormal. The flames burned too fast and just surrounded the rebels who broke into the Qin Mansion.
Anyone who wants to break out of the fire circle.
You will be shot to death by cold arrows from outside.
"There's an ambush! Damn it, Qin deserves death!"
"We've fallen into a trap, let's run! Rush to the door... Oh no, the door is locked!"
"Oh, help me, I'm on fire! Put it out!"
At first there were all kinds of curses, then there were calls for help and screams, and as the fire grew more intense, these noises gradually stopped.
Until no more rebels come out.
Likewise, the Qin Mansion was already engulfed in flames. Many people in the capital knew that something had happened at the Qin Mansion. When they learned that the rebels had rushed into the capital, some people stared at the sky above the Qin Mansion in confusion.
In the eyes of these people, the Qin family was in trouble.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The Qin Mansion would probably be flooded with blood and many people would die.
It was almost the same as they guessed. Many people did die in the Qin Mansion, but they were not Qin Chi and his men. Instead, they were the rebels who broke into the Qin Mansion and were killed in the trap set by Qin Chi.
It’s just that Lord Qin is quite generous.
A mansion was buried with him.
As for those who were unaware of the situation in the city, especially some civilians, when they saw thick smoke rising with sparks, some people wanted to go and check what was happening.
Only then did they realize that the rebels had suddenly reached the capital.
Some smart people quickly hid or found cellars to hide in. People not far from the palace heard the fierce fighting and shouting.
Focus on being different from others.
Not far from the palace gate, on the top of a tall building, Qin Chi sat cross-legged, looking at the rebels riding war horses rushing towards the palace not far away.
Qin Chi witnessed the rebellion.
"Sir, the matter at the mansion has been resolved." Qin Yi reported.
"Okay, got it."
Qin Chi's eyes were still fixed on the direction of the rebels ahead, "Helian Kai and Yan Jiangnan haven't entered the palace yet?"
"Sir, no."
"They are indeed cautious." Qin Chi spent so much effort to force the other party into a desperate situation.
These 10,000 cavalrymen are more like a vanguard.
It was a test for the imperial city guards.
It took such a long time to figure out exactly how many troops there were in the capital. Not only Qin Chi had figured it out, but I'm afraid Helian Kai also knew it.
The army of the Great Xia Dynasty was organized into garrisons, with 72 garrisons and each garrison having more than 5,000 soldiers. After Emperor Ming Cheng ascended the throne, the Beijing Camp was expanded to the Five Army Camp, the Three Thousand Camp and the Shenji Camp, with a total force of up to 400,000.
Later, Emperor Mingcheng and Prince Rui had a falling out, of course this was unknown to outsiders.
Those who are interested will find that in these years, the military strength of the capital has been getting weaker year by year due to various reasons. There are various hidden dangers, not only the arrears of food and wages, but also some people are not paid for nothing. Morale is low, training is insufficient, and combat effectiveness is greatly reduced. Today, the military strength is less than half of its heyday.
It’s not that no generals have mentioned it.
It was Emperor Cheng of the Ming Dynasty who did not care and did not carry out any rectification.
Not long ago, there was a great battle in the northwest, in which Daxia won a tragic victory and just transferred 100,000 troops.
It can be said that the current period is the weakest period of military force since Emperor Mingcheng ascended the throne. The Jianning Rebellion made Emperor Mingcheng feel a sense of crisis, and he ordered the transfer of nearby troops back to the capital, but this also takes some time.
Currently, the military camp with the highest combat power belongs to the Jinyiwei and the Shenjiying under the command of Duke Ningguo.
