Chapter 248: City Rebellion
Nanli is too small, and all the soldiers from all over the country have gathered, which is only comparable to the strength of the eastern frontier border army of the Ao Kingdom, but the number of 100,000 soldiers of the whole country is uneven, and even half of them can really fight.
Therefore, the elite of the elite, known as the elite, the eight thousand forbidden army is the largest card in the hand of Zhao De, the emperor of the Southern Li Kingdom, the eight thousand forbidden troops are not all in the capital, there are about 4,000 people in the camp of the forbidden army in the capital, and the other four thousand are in the four acropolis in the southeast, northwest and northwest outside the Shengtu city, and each acropolis is garrisoned with 1,000 troops.
Of these 4,000 people, there are about 600 people stationed in the palace, and 2,000 people were seconded by Ruan Hao, the general of the founding of the country, to make the prison of the Criminal Department inside and outside like an iron wall, not to mention a person, even if it is a wild bird that flies in.
But because of this, Luo Bucheng, the general of Nanliguo, felt a little embarrassed, he only had 1,400 people left to use, except for the guards of the gates of Shengtu City, and the defenders on the city wall, he could only use 400 people.
Four hundred people, it is not easy to turn over the capital from beginning to end, he wants to order the forbidden army from the four acropolis to come back, but this matter needs the approval of Emperor Zhao De, at this moment the emperor is still discussing with Ruan Hao Li Fupeng and the two beggers, and his general of the forbidden army was driven out of the imperial study, which made him a little unhappy.
Especially just now, when Ruan Hao entered the door, he pushed him away and didn't even look at him, obviously he didn't take him in his eyes at all, you must know that Ruan Hao is just a fifth-grade general, and he is a second-grade general of Nanli Kingdom, that's all, Ruan Hao can't say that he has some respect for Emperor Zhao De.
Over the years, the people of the country have done evil in the country of Nanli, how many women from good families and even daughters who have not been out of the cabinet have been harmed by the people of the court, but the local government and even the criminal department do not dare to manage it too ruthlessly, as long as the person is arrested, it will not take long for the person to be found, and the Nanli side has to obediently send people over.
Although there are people who seek to establish to protect them from being destroyed by the country, where is the body of the country? Where is the dignity of His Majesty the Emperor?
At the end of the day, it shouldn't have been led by the nose of the people who sought to establish the country, and if it had been in alliance with the country instead of being a person seeking to establish itself, it might have been much better than now.
But it's too late to say these words now, Nan Liguo was tied to a boat by Qiu Li, once Qiu Li really no longer cares about the life and death of Nan Liguo, the army of the Miao Kingdom can sweep from beginning to end.
Luo Bucheng often feels a burst of powerlessness, the national strength is weak, he is bullied and at the mercy of others, as a general, who is not willing to raise the sword immediately to inspire the national prestige, if a wave of a million soldiers, he is more willing to seek to destroy the country, the second is the country.
As soon as he thought of this, he heard Ruan Hao's voice in the imperial study suddenly raised: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Do you mean that we are asking for the establishment of a country and sending people to do so? When those Ning people were bold and recklessly sent people to humiliate you directly, it was us who begged Li to send someone to help you, what do you say now If you don't arrest Ning people, you won't have so much trouble, since you are afraid of many things, then you might as well personally send those Ning people to Ning Country to see if they will spare you?! ”
Emperor Nanli Zhao De's voice trembled slightly, and he was obviously angry: "General Ruan, haven't you forgotten your identity?" When did the Ning people come to discuss trade with me, when did they humiliate me? It was you who directly arrested people, beat them to death, humiliated them to humiliate, you said they were to maintain my dignity? I've heard that your sailors were defeated by the Ning army in the northern frontier! ”
Ruan Hao snorted: "Then Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, and you can't do it when we still don't have you?" Don't forget, if we hadn't been, you Nanli would have been destroyed by the Kingdom of Ao! ”
Luo Bucheng couldn't listen to it anymore outside, and rushed directly into the imperial study, pressing the handle of the knife with his hand and shouting angrily: "Ruan Hao! If you dare to be powerless against Your Majesty, don't blame me for being ruthless with my long knife! ”
Li Fupeng pulled Ruan Hao and said to Emperor Zhao De with a smile: "Your Majesty is angry, General Ruan is also thinking about Your Majesty, and he did speak a little inappropriately before, I apologize to His Majesty for him, those Ning people are also angry when they haven't caught General Ruan, but he is also worried about His Majesty's safety...... Let's go back to what we discussed before, why hurt the peace? ”
Luo Bucheng stood beside the emperor with a knife, Zhao De's face softened slightly, and with the forbidden army general by his side to protect him, he also had a little more confidence.
"General Ruan, it's understandable that you are anxious, but you should still be measured."
Seeing that his attitude was relaxed, Li Fupeng pulled Ruan Hao again, Ruan Hao snorted impatiently, and casually hugged his fists as an apology: "I was too anxious just now, Your Majesty, don't blame...... But what I said before, it has to be arranged that way. ”
Luo Bucheng looked at the emperor, and Emperor Zhao De explained: "What General Ruan means is to take these Ning people out of the prison and show them in the square in the city, forcing those Ning people to show up, and if they don't come out, they will kill one person every half an hour until they come out." ”
Luo Bucheng pondered for a while, there are too few soldiers available to him, if Ruan Haoqiang borrows those two thousand soldiers and does not return them, it will indeed be too difficult for him to investigate the entire capital, although this method will affect His Majesty's reputation, but it is indeed the best at present.
"The method is feasible, but it cannot be in the name of His Majesty, it should be in the name of seeking to be established."
Ruan Hao glanced at Luo Bucheng and scolded a hypocrite in his heart, but this was the last way that Luo Bucheng could think of to maintain face for Emperor Zhao De, which was humble and distressing.
"It doesn't matter."
Ruan Hao said: "Then ask General Luo to personally lead the troops to block all the sides of the square, and I will personally lead people to escort all the people in the prison to the prison, anyway, these people will not confess anything, and it is good to kill a few shocks." ”
Luo Bucheng nodded: "The two thousand generals that General Ruan borrowed before were also handed over to me for command." ”
"Whatever you want."
Ruan Hao said: "In addition, the search in the city must not be stopped, if they don't come out as a turtle with a shrunken head, it will be useless to kill a few Ning people, and the final method is to turn over the whole city like the ground." ”
Luo Bucheng snorted: "If there is nothing else, please ask General Ruan to go to the Criminal Department to arrange it." ”
Ruan Hao glared at him and left at the same time as Li Fupeng.
After Ruan Hao left, Emperor Zhao De sat on the chair, his face turned pale with anger, he raised his hand and pointed outside: "What kind of thing is he!" Pointing fingers in front of me, I really don't dare to touch him? ”
Luo Bucheng hurriedly comforted: "Your Majesty is angry, it's just a villain's ambition, and the minister thinks that it shouldn't be all like him in the country, and when the matter of Ning Ren is over, it will be good for him to leave Nanli." ”
The emperor was angry like this, and Luo Bucheng was also sad in his heart, what could it be?
He can only appease the emperor and say a few more warm words, but he also looks pale and powerless, the king is humiliated, isn't it the same as being a minister?
As he was talking, Zheng Dajiang, the deputy general of the forbidden army, walked in quickly, his face extremely ugly.
"Your Majesty, those seekers are too much!"
Zheng Dajiang said angrily: "The minister was ordered to transfer back the two thousand forbidden troops to be arranged in the square just now, but Ruan Hao didn't let people go at all, he said that those Ning people wanted to assassinate maybe him, and those two thousand people were transferred back to us, his safety was not guaranteed, the minister said a few more words, he actually wanted people to unload the minister's weapons, the minister is the deputy general of the forbidden army, how can he be so humiliated?!" Obviously, the general just ordered me to bring the soldiers and horses back, and they agreed, but now they just refuse to let go! ”
The emperor had just calmed down, and when he heard this, he immediately exploded again: "Get out of here!" ”
Zheng Dajiang was stunned, and said that he hadn't done anything wrong, and subconsciously looked at Luo Bucheng, Luo Bucheng shook his head at him slightly, and Zheng Dajiang had no choice but to withdraw from the imperial study with his fists.
"Waste, you're all waste!"
The Emperor swept everything on the table to the ground, and his whole body trembled violently.
Luo Bucheng wanted to say something more, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only kneel down and put his forehead on the ground, and kept saying that the minister was guilty.
"That's it!"
Zhao Deyi waved his hand: "Let him, as the Son of Heaven, I care about what he does in general." ”
After a long time, the emperor gasped and calmed his mood: "You can also go, catch and kill those Ning people as soon as possible, this matter will be over, the Ning people are dead, Ruan Hao will go back to Qiu Li, I can't see it and I don't worry about it." ”
Luo Bucheng kowtowed again and then exited the imperial study, and after going out, he looked up to the sky and sighed.
At the same time, hundreds of forbidden troops surrounded the house of Gao Kuoyun, the servant of the Criminal Department, and no one answered after shouting, so he slammed open the door of the house with a wooden stake, and a group of people rushed in but found that the courtyard was empty, and in one of the rooms, they found Gao Kuoyun's family who were tied up, all of whom were gagged and couldn't make a sound, but Gao Kuoyun didn't know where to go.
The general who led the team asked where he was, but his family did not know.
After a stick of incense, there was news that the vegetable market didn't know when to erect a pole, with a human head hanging on it, looking like a tall and broad cloud, after getting the news, Luo Bucheng and Zheng Dajiang personally led the forbidden army over, and surrounded the vegetable market.
An hour later, news came that Liu Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of Nanli, was killed at home, and a group of masked bandits rushed into his house, cut down all the guards in the courtyard, and then cut off Liu Wei's head, and after the bandits went out, they hung Liu Wei's head at the door of his house.
At the beginning, the arrival of Daning's envoys was personally received by Liu Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it was Liu Wei who deceived Daning's envoys out and were all caught by the people who asked for Lili, after getting the news of Liu Wei's death, everyone who participated in this matter was in danger, and they were all frightened, and soon the atmosphere in the entire Shengtu City became extremely tense, and the ordinary people all knew that a group of demonic dead soldiers came from Daning, and they came to take revenge, regardless of personal life and death, and they also wanted to kill the people who had killed the envoys of Ningguo one by one.
Luo Bucheng had no choice but to ask to see Emperor Zhao De again, and in desperation, the emperor ordered the courtiers to bring all their families into the palace, and temporarily settled in the main hall, and then went home when they caught Ning Ren.
Although the lives of those courtiers were saved by doing this, it was too damaging to the national body, and some of the dead soldiers of the Ning people were just scared of the entire court of Nanli, and the emperor's face was naturally not good-looking.
But Ruan Hao and Li Fupeng didn't care about the face of anyone in Nan Liguo, they just wanted to catch everyone as soon as possible.
All of a sudden, there was a storm in Shengtu City.
