"Okay."

The newlyweds have to get up early to serve tea to their parents (elders) on the second day, and Jia's mother knows that Baochai is doing it according to the rules and etiquette, and she is very satisfied.

I thought that Jia Qing spoiled her so much yesterday that she even brought her in at the door, and I am afraid that she will be even more spoiled in the future. Unexpectedly, Baochai himself is an extremely reasonable and sensible person, so he naturally will not be the "pampered and arrogant" bride.

Taking a sip of tea, Baochai picked up another cup, which represented herself.

Jia Mu also drank it and put it aside.

Baochai bowed again, then got up and packed up his things.

Princess Beijing watched from beginning to end, and when Baochai left, she said to Jia's mother: "I really don't expect the imperial merchant Xue family to raise such a girl." ”

Mother Jia naturally smiled and said a few words with her, and she was happy for Jia Qing in her heart.

With Jia Qing's identity becoming more and more valuable, the Xue family's portal became more and more mismatched. But from today on, with the unanimous praise of so many women, I believe that no one in the capital will talk about this again.

The atmosphere on the side of Ning Guofu was harmonious, and everyone was about to leave and return to the house after a while, when suddenly an earth-shattering sound came.

Faintly audible, it was the sound of the city gate being slammed.

At this time, someone outside shouted: "Oh no, there are rebels attacking the city again!" ”

The crowd was horrified.

"The eldest prince colluded with the Jingying and Jinyi army to rebel, Prince Kang led his troops to quell the rebellion, and those who dared to stop him were guilty of rebellion and unforgiving!"

Under the West City Gate, the "counterinsurgency" vanguard general informed the defenders of the city with righteous words.

A voice as calm as water said: "I am the captain of the court, and you are waiting for the army stationed outside Beijing, how dare you come to the city without an edict?" Do you want to rebel? ”

"Wang Taiwei said with a smile, the safety of the Emperor and His Majesty is the first, and now there is a rebellion in Beijing, and we should take the initiative to protect the king, and we will show the way of ministers.

Wang Taiwei blocked like this, could it be that he had colluded with the traitors and plotted to usurp the throne? ”

"It's ridiculous, I'm a dignified third prince, ranked first-class, and I have been favored by Your Majesty and made a marquis! If I collude with a traitor, who in the world will believe me?

Soldiers of the North and South Camps, don't be deceived! There was indeed a rebellion in Kyochu, but it has been quelled by His Majesty, and now order is being restored in Kyochu.

And Prince Kang led his troops into Beijing at this time, clearly ill-intentioned, all the soldiers are the division of the Great Chu, and they must not be deceived by others, become a rebel, and implicate the nine clans! ”

"Hahaha...... It seems that Wang Taiwei has indeed colluded with the traitor, but he is still clever here!

All the soldiers listened, if you take a slow step, maybe the Emperor and His Majesty have already fallen into the hands of rebellion. At this time of crisis, it is time for us to wait for a good man to protect the king and establish an immortal career! ”

The vanguard general laughed angrily, and after a few words of morale, he commanded the army to attack the city.

The soldiers under the city listened to it for a long time and still couldn't tell which side was true, but they were all soldiers, and there were rules in the army, and military orders were like mountains.

If you stop at this time, you are disobeying the military order. Disobedience to military orders is punishable by beheading.

So, they can only move forward.

In this way, maybe you can really make a contribution......

Ladders, siege vehicles, and crashing wood slowly approached the city gates

On the top of the tallest tower in the capital, Jia Qing looked at the scene in the distance with a telescope, and searched for a long time to find the location of Prince Kang.

"San'er, at this distance, can the 'long neck' you newly make hit?"

"Master Hou, this distance is too far, even if you use a solid bullet, it is impossible to hit it so far, let alone a flower bullet, unless the distance is twice as close, the small one may be able to give it a try"

Known as "San'er", Jia Qing recruited from the people to study firearms prodigy, who was apprenticed in the hands of a Francophone man in his early years, and was later recruited by Jia Qing, showing extraordinary talent for firearms development, especially for artillery.

This "long neck" is a kind of artillery that he advocated to develop, because the torso is more than a zhang long, so it is called a long neck.

The characteristic is that the firing range is more than twice as far as that of the artillery before Da Chu, and more importantly, it is a flower bullet.

You must know that most of the artillery before Da Chu was solid bullets, and they were mainly only used to siege cities, because the single kill area of solid bullets was too small, and if it was combined with tiles, iron sheets, etc., it would affect the range

In short, the previous artillery had a lot of restrictions and was not as powerful as it could be, so Da Chu did not rely on artillery.

Jia Qing knew this situation, so most of the results developed were not announced to the public, and he originally hoped to have a surprising victory.

Before, he thought that if he took advantage of Prince Kang's unpreparedness and killed him with one shot, he would be able to avoid this battle soon?

As soon as he died, the rest of the rebels collapsed without a fight.

It's a pity that although the other party does not avoid his whereabouts, he is too far away from the battlefield. The capital is besieged again, and the sneak attack will not work for the time being.

"Master Hou, do you want to move all the artillery onto the city wall and assist Wang Taiwei in defending the city?"

"No, remember, if the message continues, no guns with a range of more than 800 paces will be allowed to leave the warehouse, only the old guns of the old ones will be used.

In addition, it is enough to bring out the two murderous pieces of 'sweet potato' and 'sweet potato'.

I have another plan! ”

"Yes." San'er, Liu Xianglian and others all responded.

After instructing this, Jia Qing asked Zhao Donglai again: "How is Hu Yong still there?" ”

Zhao Donglai said: "Before, he led people to attack the north gate, but General Gao had already taken precautions, and we supported him in time, so he didn't succeed." Now he has fled into the West Garden with the remnants, and with the help of the West Garden, he resisted stubbornly.

Because General Gao wanted to defend the north gate, we did not have enough troops left, so we did not attack hard, but only surrounded Xiyuan to prevent him from sneaking up again. ”

Jia Qing frowned.

Xiyuan is the largest royal garden in the capital, and there are many palace pavilions and eunuchs and palace maids in it.

Jia Qing felt a little unbearable in his heart.

But there is no way, this is the disaster of war! Since ancient times, it has been said that soldiers are fiercer than bandits, and this is the truth.

It's not just the West Garden. From last night to today, I don't know how many innocent people and powerful people in the capital have died

He had done his best to control the rebellion. But the capital was too big, the rebels were scattered, and he couldn't clean it up for a while.

Even now, there are still a small number of rebels in the city who are hiding and doing evil.

"Move all the remaining artillery out of the warehouse, Ben Hou will go in person, and destroy this group of uncertain factors first."

After solving Hu Yong and his cronies, the capital can be regarded as having no worries, and all the troops are under his control.

The rumbling sound of cannons enveloped the perimeter of this magnificent royal garden with black smoke.

"Kill!!"

The rebels inside could not organize effective resistance at all, so they were attacked by the Jinyi army under Zhao Donglai in the Beijing camp, and the tragic white-knuckle battle began.

In the end, the morale of the other party was insufficient, and the number of people was too small, but in just over half an hour, they died and fell.

This noble royal garden has temporarily stopped the military disaster.

"Master Hou, catch Hu Yong."

"Kill." Jia Qing said lightly.

He is not a legalist, and there is no need to waste manpower watching him and waiting for some interrogation.

Hu Yong is the commander of the forbidden army, or the cleanest killing.

Speaking of which, the number of personnel of the forbidden army is not less than that of the Beijing camp, and the combat effectiveness of the forbidden army is even much stronger than that of the Beijing camp.

However, rebellion is rebellion, and not everyone will follow the boss to rebel.

In addition, they did not swear allegiance to the eldest prince in the first place, and even abandoned the eldest prince and fled at a critical moment, which also caused the original huge forbidden army system to fall apart, and was finally defeated by him one by one.

At this point, in addition to the total of two or three thousand forbidden troops under Wei Lize, who was still guarding the palace, overnight, the forbidden army had existed in name only.

"Master Hou, Your Majesty has woken up, I want to see Master Hou!"

The little eunuch led by Wang Sanjin rushed to Xiyuan and reported to Jia Qing.

Wang Sanjin can be said to be the first eunuch to make friends with Jia Qing. After this battle, as long as Jia Qing can hold the capital, as long as he is not a person with a pure heart and few desires, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he will definitely become a powerful person above 10,000 people under the entire Great Chu.

But is Jia Qing a pure-hearted person with few desires?

No, because he's not stupid.

Therefore, Wang Sanjin was respectful in front of him, as if facing Emperor Zhengqing.
