Chapter 815: Falling Out of the Water
If the thief army is a rabble, then the refugees are even more vulnerable, although they are bewitched and hot-headed, relying on the strength of the crowd to look very fierce, but when the officers and soldiers start to kill and cut down more than ten people, they will be instigated, and then disperse in a hurry!
When Wang Jiayan dispatched troops to block several streets outside the city with thousands of troops and work together to extinguish the fire, those thugs just now turned into harmless babies at this time, staring at a pair of innocent eyes full of fear and begging.
It's just that this is the imperial capital, how can you be soft at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and you must find out who is behind the scenes.
Several streets were blocked by officers and soldiers, trapping more than 1,000 refugees who participated in the riots, and Wang Jiayan personally took charge of the suppression.
In the compound of the Yamen of the East Factory, nearly thirty corpses are neatly placed, this is the thief who attacked the Yamen just now, except for the three live mouths, the rest are lying here, the outside world says that the East Factory is the tiger's den in Longtan, but in fact, this is hell!
Don't want to leave when you come.
There was a tragic wail in the torture room, the entire yamen was faintly audible, Chen Wangting was helping Wu Zhong to bandage his wounds in the backyard room, and the battle just now left a lot of blood behind his wounds, and when he heard the screams, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Gonggong Chun is angry."
How could Chunxiang not be angry, the thieves boldly attacked the yamen, not to mention, but also killed seven or eight people and injured more than ten people, if it weren't for the coincidence that Chen Wangting and Jiangfa returned to the city yesterday, the consequences are hard to say.
He can't afford to lose this face, and neither can the royal family, so he has to dig up something.
There are many living Hades in the East Factory, that is, legendary torture experts, but whenever it falls into their hands, there is no one who does not open his mouth.
Maybe there are people in the world who are not afraid of death, but there are definitely few people who can stand it if they don't die or live, as if a celebrity once said that no one can withstand physical torture, so even the little eunuch once doubted that in a certain period, those undercover agents who were captured could really withstand torture?
Perhaps, but apparently these three people can't bear it.
In less than half an hour, Chunxiang walked out of the torture room and began to give orders, and he could directly command the Jinyi Guard and call the personal guards to handle the case.
Several units of soldiers and horses went to various places to get people, and Chunxiang himself hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint.
Emperor Chongzhen has been slightly relieved to learn that the riots in the outer city have been suppressed, and the most unbearable thing is still the attack on Dongchang, who is so bold, why, to assassinate Chang Yu? Chang Yu just returned to Beijing last night, and these people were in a hurry to make a move, and the murderous intent was so strong! It's a pity that the information was wrong, and he left early in the morning.
"It was the work of a Tartar spy!" The first sentence of Chunxiang's face made Emperor Chongzhen dumbfounded.
The thief didn't go to assassinate Chang Yu, the reason why he attacked the Dongchang Yamen was to save their Prince Azig!!
Azig was secretly escorted back to Beijing last night, and this morning he announced to the world that there were Tartars who robbed the prison before noon, which shows that the Tartars have been operating in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and the forces they have cultivated are rich in their internal heritage, and the intelligence network is wide and deep, which is shocking!
But not necessarily, to Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, the Tartar traitor confessed, and they knew it several hours after Azig was captured, which means that it was earlier than Emperor Chongzhen knew.
When Dolgon learned that Azig had been captured, he speculated that the Ming army would send him to the capital to ask for merit, so he immediately sent a message to the spies in the city, telling them to pay close attention to the rescue if it was possible.
The imperial capital has just gone through a great war, and there are still refugees in the city who have not dispersed, and there is a mess everywhere, so why not take the opportunity to bewitch the refugees into chaos, and take advantage of the situation to rescue Azig because of the mutiny in the city.
To put it bluntly, it's a sound of sound attacking the west!
Plot first and then act, when the imperial court announced that the world had captured Azig, they had already collected relevant details, the little eunuch returned to Beijing last night, and his black wolf camp entered the city late at night and went straight to the Dongchang Yamen to leave early in the morning, so they deduced that Prince Ying would be imprisoned in Dongchang Edict Prison!
But I didn't know that the little eunuch also made a noise, but in fact, Azig was imprisoned in Jinyiwei Prison, and few people knew this secret.
Those ignorant refugees in the outer city really had no brains, and they fell into the trick at the slightest bewitchment, and the burning and looting were very noisy, and the people who were secretly lurking in the Dongchang Yamen here planned to take the mob into the inner city to make the whole city chaotic.
Who knows, Yuan Fanghui of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division is sophisticated, and immediately notified the officers and soldiers guarding the gate and closed all the inner cities, so that the mob had no chance to rush into the inner city, and he didn't even know that the mob over there was killed by the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp as soon as they appeared!
I thought that the officers and soldiers were lax in guarding against things, but they were unexpectedly decisive and quick, and controlled the situation in the outer city in time!
Seeing that the mob over there failed to rush into the inner city as expected, the rescue personnel here didn't dare to wait any longer, so they had to take a risk, but they were killed by Dongchang, and the three people were captured alive and the rest died!
Originally, I thought that the outside of the city was just a refugee, and it was difficult to control the chaos for a while, but I didn't think that it was also a secret plan of the Tartar spies, and Emperor Chongzhen, who knew the cause and effect, was angry and shocked, the Tartars actually had such a force in the capital, and they could collect all kinds of information in a short time, and organize people and horses to make such a big move, if it wasn't for the outer city to control the situation in time, and not let those mobs pour into the inner city, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Investigate, even if you turn over the city of Beijing, you have to investigate to the end, find out how many Tartar spies there are in the city" Emperor Chongzhen was annoyed, angry and shocked, and his whole body trembled: "I used to think that only the Ming Jinyi Guards would be pervasive, although I also knew that the Tartars were cultivating power in the Ming Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to come to such a point, I am really afraid that there are Tartar spies in this imperial city!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen is naturally angry for reason, there are still tens of thousands of Qing cavalry outside the city, and the little eunuch is desperate to gnaw off the skin of others, and the imperial capital, which has always been heavily guarded, was almost served by other people's spies, shame, can you not be angry!
After Wang Jiayan quelled the rebellion, he returned to the palace to face the saint, and found out that the riot was instigated by someone, and the refugees were indiscriminately identified under severe torture and intimidation, because it was really difficult to trace down the thousands of people involved, and even those people might have taken advantage of the chaos to run away.
In fact, Emperor Chongzhen already knew from Chunxiang that the mastermind behind the scenes was done by Tartar spies, and he had copied out a few footholds to send people to clean up.
"Can the fire be extinguished? What is the loss? Emperor Chongzhen's anger did not subside, and Tie asked with a blue face.
"The open fire has been extinguished, and it is roughly estimated that nearly 60 shops were robbed and smashed, more than 200 families were killed, more than 20 houses were burned, 13 innocent people were killed, and more than 100 people were injured! Wang Jiayan came one by one, and these more than 1,000 thugs are really hateful."
"Kill, kill them all!" Emperor Chongzhen was furious, Wang Jiayan and others looked at each other, not daring to speak, but they also knew that what Emperor Chongzhen said was just angry words.
The law does not blame the public, even if this kind of riot occurs today hundreds of years later, it is only a few people who take the lead, let alone at this time in the late Ming Dynasty.
It's just that if you don't punish this gang of chaotic people, Emperor Chongzhen is angry, it is impossible to kill, not to mention that the cabinet will not agree, Wang Jiayan and Gong Yonggu in front of him will also resolutely oppose it, if Chang Yu is here, he will definitely be angry for me, thinking about this, he glanced at Chunxiang.
"Your Majesty, how about handing it over to the East Factory at this time?" Chunxiang comprehended and asked, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Jiayan and saw that he was looking at his nose and nose, this kind of thing was thankless, and Wang Jiayan naturally didn't want to accept it.
"Gong Qing, you assist Dongchang in investigating this matter" Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly at Gong Yonggu, Gong Yonggu gave over his hand to know his intentions, Emperor Chongzhen asked him to take the bottom line of Dongchang, which can make him angry and not heavy-handed, Chunxiang is not as thoughtful as Chang Yu, I don't know how serious it is to clean up those chaotic people, the government and the opposition are absolutely scolded, and the pot is carried by him.
In order to inspire the people and recover the face that was disgraced by the siege of the Tartars a few days ago, the imperial court trumpeted the results of the battle outside the city.
This kind of propaganda warfare that needs political knowledge has existed since ancient times, and it has been even worse in later generations, and it has always been good news but not bad news, even if you kill a hundred enemies and lose a thousand yourself, you must shout, great victory!
The common people are also excited to eat this set, a few days ago they also scolded the court for being incompetent, the officers and soldiers were incompetent, and they let the Tartars enter the customs unconsciously.
It's just that...... The sudden riot in the outer city and the attack on the Yamen of Dongchang exploded the whole city, and all kinds of rumors and gossip flew all over the sky.
Martial law!
Although Chang Yu took most of the troops away, there were still more than 10,000 guards in the capital and the Beijing camp, and these people could not go to the battlefield, but they could not maintain law and order.
Under an order, all the soldiers and horses will control several streets around the imperial city, especially the south of the imperial city to the Daming Gate, which is the thousand-step corridor, which is where the six yamen of the Ming Dynasty are located, and the Jinyi Guard is also among them.
When the people were discussing, the Zhengyang Gate was wide open, and Chunxiang led more than 100 fans and Jinyi Wei straight out of the outer city to the riot area, Gong Yonggu asked in a low voice side by side: "What does Gonggong Chun plan to do?" ”。
Chunxiang sneered: "To be honest, I want to kill them all like the emperor."
Gong Yonggu was ridiculous: "This is impossible, the emperor is angry."
"Although it is angry, it is also the truth, and the emperor thinks so in his heart" Chunxiang smiled playfully: "It's just that a lot of it is thought about it, and you can't do it right, don't you do it."
Gong Yonggu's face was straight: "Unpredictable emperor's heart."
This is also the fact that he has a good relationship with Chang Yu and loves Wu and Wu, if others would have spoken out angrily.
Chunxiang hurriedly arched his hand: "Let's get down to business, does the horse captain have a good plan?" ”
Gong Yonggu was silent for a while: "Not only do they want to hurt, but also want the emperor to relieve his anger, and let the government and the opposition have nothing to say, this matter is tricky, don't you look at Wang Jiayan and say nothing, and you people in Dongchang are not afraid of hot hands."
This time it was Chunxiang's turn to smile bitterly: "Dongchang is not afraid of hot hands, but the emperor threw it directly, so I can't help but take it."
Gong Yonggu laughed: "Who called your father-in-law Chang so capable, so that the emperor thinks that Dongchang has become omnipotent."
Chunxiang sneered: "Although the East Factory is not omnipotent, it is still in the past to deal with this matter."
"Oh, Grandpa Chun has thought of a way?" Gong Yonggu raised his eyebrows, are the young people of the East Factory so capable now.
"The master of the horse will take a good look, let the emperor relieve his anger and let the gang of chaotic people know that it hurts, and he can also let the government and the opposition say nothing."
Chunxiang smiled slightly, beat the horse and hurried, and Gong Yonggu followed closely behind.
