"Okay! Then I'll leave it to you!" said Zhao Xiaokun.
Without a word, Zhou Shuai pulled out his flare gun and fired it into the sky. Although it was daytime, the flare from the flare gun was still dazzling. A green flare soared into the sky! Meanwhile, Zhao Xiaokun went to deal with the civil servants and nobles who were accusing him.
Zhao Xiaokun understood that some of these people were hoping for something bad to happen. They believed that the loss of Beijing was a good thing. Power could be reshuffled. Without the nobles and civil officials of the capital, these civil officials and nobles in the south would have a chance to regain power. They were eager to see the Zhao brothers fall, so that no one could stop them from ascending to power.
Zhao Xiaokun couldn't convince them, so he ordered his soldiers to chase these officials and nobles away, claiming they were disturbing his command of the city defense. They thought these peasant soldiers wouldn't dare to attack them, but the result was a slap in the face. The militia trained by Zhao Xiaofei had seen bloodshed, and with Fang Xinyu and the others to discipline, they simply followed orders, not considering the person in front of them. They were quite brutal, beating some of the officials and nobles black and blue.
Only Zhang Huangyan and Shi Kefa were left on the city wall at this time. Zhao Xiaokun wanted to let them see how quickly he dealt with these rebels.
How did Ruan Dacheng lead the army to purge the court? In fact, Ruan Dacheng was a very shrewd person. He felt that Zhu Guobi was a little arrogant. At this time, he was still living in Nanjing. If something happened, he would not be able to escape. He also found out that the Zhao brothers were very powerful. I heard that there were tens of thousands of militiamen! Unfortunately, Zhu Guobi didn't think that militiamen could be considered soldiers. Their combat effectiveness could not be compared with his own canal transport army!
Since Zhu Guobi refused to listen, Ruan Dacheng simply went to live in a house outside Nanjing. He also received a letter from Zuo Liangyu. The letter stated that he would purge the imperial court and deal with the Zhao brothers. His million-strong army was preparing to march eastward.
Ruan Dacheng saw this as a good opportunity and wrote back to Zuo Liangyu, agreeing to join him in the uprising. However, before he could discuss the matter with Zhu Guobi that night, he saw many people besieging Zhu's mansion.
Ruan Dacheng saw that it was bad! The Zhao brothers had acted first, so he secretly ran out of the city. In order to leave the city at night, he even paid the soldiers guarding the city to lower him down in a basket.
Ruan Dacheng went to the canal transport army camp outside the city and met several generals under Zhu Guobi. Ruan Dacheng said, "Hey guys! Master Zhu is in trouble! If you want to survive, follow me and march into Nanjing!"
