Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 44 Night Attack
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, with dark clouds covering the top. It was the legendary murder night.

Emperor Taichang of the Ming Dynasty was blocked in the city of Suzhou because of his carelessness. Sun Zhixie, the magistrate, and Chen Yirui, the commander of the Suzhou Guards, were preparing to lead the guards to besiege him, and a bloody storm was about to come.

Who killed whom tonight?

With a sound of "嗖", Ge Chengcheng came in from the outside like a gust of wind, bowed his hands in front of everyone's astonished eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, I have counted the ministers in detail, and the guards gathered outside the prefect's yamen should The number is five hundred, and they have not set up camp, nor have they scattered to rest, it seems that they are preparing for a night attack."

Night attack?
The five hundred guards wanted to come and kill me, you are the masters of Jin Yiwei because you have blown it out!

It seems that there is no need to avoid the edge, and there should be no problem in keeping the Xuanmiao Temple.

Originally, Taichang had already thought about it, if the other party had more than [-] guards, he would let Ge Cheng lead the way and sneak in the city of Suzhou overnight to avoid their sharp edge.

Because they still have to run away, if there are heavy casualties in the first battle, it is very likely that they will not be able to get out of the city gate.

Now that the Xuanmiao view can be kept, then the issue of money can be considered.

They definitely couldn't take the money with them when they ran away. If they just put it here, it would be a waste of money for Sun Zhixie and Chen Yirui.

How to deal with these silver?
Oh, the damned money!

Taichang frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Old Ge, are the weaving and machine households here really reliable?"

Ge Cheng nodded immediately and said: "The folk customs here are simple and simple, and Sun Long has recruited almost all those local ruffians, and the rest are basically honest people."

That's good.

Taichang said decisively: "After we repel the five hundred guards, you will call thousands of reliable weaving and machine households over and ask them to move all the silver back and hide it. At that time, each household will be rewarded with 100 taels as their The starting capital."

Uh, this.

Ge Cheng was rather embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing I didn't dare to tell you, the magistrate Sun Zhixie has ordered people to put up notices all over the city, saying that Xuanmiao Temple has been occupied by rebels and no one is allowed to approach it. "

Those who are riding horses, this gang of rebels, actually say that I am a rebel, what a dare!
Taichang snorted coldly: "Just tell those weaving and machine households that Sun Long, Sun Zhixie, and Chen Yirui are the rebels. I was sent by the imperial court to investigate these people. I believe those weaving and machine households I naturally have a steelyard in my heart.”

This is, on the one hand, they are trying their best to search for their money and let them go bankrupt, and on the other hand, they are giving them money to start a family. It is clear at a glance who is good and who is bad.

Ge Cheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is wise."

Taichang waved his hand, beckoning him to sit down, then thought carefully, and then ordered: "Luo Yangxing, divide the Jinyiwei into ten teams, five people in each team, and hide them around this abode and the Zangyin Dadian. , ready to sneak attack at night."

Luo Yangxing hurriedly got up and cupped his hands, saying: "Observe the order."

After speaking, he walked out quickly.

Taichang said to the others: "Go and rest first, wait for those rebels to come, and then gather in the lobby."

The scale of this abode is quite large, and it is not a problem to live in a dozen or so people. Except for Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou, Luo Yanghe and those Jin Yiwei, the rest of them add up to less than ten people. They live here. Nature is not a problem.

Taichang and the others dispersed, and then brought Cao Huachun and Liu Shiyou to the door of Wu Wan'er's bedroom.

At this moment, Wu Wan'er was like a frightened little rabbit, huddled on the bed, staring wide-eyed, looking around. As soon as Taichang walked in, she immediately jumped up and panicked: "Your Majesty, is there really someone who wants to rebel?"

Who is it?

Such a talkative, don't you know that women are timid?
Taichang cursed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant, pushed Wu Wan'er back to the bed, and then smiled and said: "It's just a bunch of mobs, it's okay, you go to bed quickly, we have to hurry tomorrow morning."

really?
When Chen Yirui heard it, he probably spurted blood.

These five hundred guards are the elite that he has carefully selected. In his opinion, ordinary Jinyiwei are not necessarily the opponents of these guards, but no matter how powerful the elite guards are with the emperor, one can beat them two or three times. This is not bad, so he thinks that bringing these five hundred guards is enough to complete the feat of killing the king!

When the time of Xu arrived, under Sun Zhixie's constant urging, he brought his guards to Xuanmiao Temple.

To his surprise, there was no movement at all in Xuanmiao Temple, not even a single light was turned on, and the whole Xuanmiao Temple was pitch black. Only their torches were brightly lit, as bright as a target.

Could it be that the emperor ran away with someone?
impossible!

The gates of Suzhou City are closed, and there are 200 people stationed at each gate. As long as the emperor brings people close to the gates, he will definitely be entangled. At this moment, there is no movement at all the gates. Where can this stranger go?
Of course Taichang didn't run away, right now he was standing on the steps at the gate of the abode, holding up his binoculars and looking at Sun Zhixie, Chen Yirui and others.

This abode happened to be built on a hillside, and it could be condescending, which was the main reason why he chose to rest here.

In the dark night, the torches in the distance were so bright, he could see them clearly.

These guys actually brought five hundred guards to carry out night raids!

Hey, it depends on who sneaks up on whom.

Chen Yirui didn't know that his every move fell into the eyes of the emperor, and he was having a headache.

The emperor didn't even meet him face to face, how could he kill him?

He had already thought about it, once Zhang Zhiji or even the emperor came forward to reveal his identity, he would yell, these rebels dare to pretend to be the prince or the emperor, kill!

Now, he didn't even see a Jin Yiwei, who would he kill?

Could it be that you search carefully around this mysterious temple?

The problem, this Xuanmiao temple is not so big, even if 500 people spread out, they might not be able to surround it, not to mention, he doesn't know if the emperor is still inside.

Alas, this is troublesome, he really didn't expect that the emperor or Zhang Zhiji would never come forward to reveal his identity and tell him to get out.

Seeing that Chen Yirui didn't move, Sun Zhixie said anxiously: "General Chen, order people to rush in, they must know we are coming, if you don't let people rush in, they may run away."

You know the rush, idiot!

Chen Yirui cursed secretly in his heart, and then ordered helplessly: "Bump the door."

"Yes!"

More than ten garrison guards responded in unison, and rushed to the gate of Xuanmiao Temple with a slender wood thicker than the waist, and slammed into it.

With a sound of "bang", the door of Xuanmiao Temple opened suddenly.

so easy?

Seeing this, Chen Yirui couldn't help frowning.

Don't care about the gate, the emperor won't really run away, right?

He thought for a while, and then gave the order: "Rush in, form a group of ten, spread out, search carefully, and if you see any rebels, shoot them to death."

"Yes!"

Hundreds of people roared in unison, turned into a fire dragon, charged into the Xuanmiao Temple, and then dispersed into a group of small loach-like teams, swimming around among the halls.

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but feel relieved.

If these people were grouped together and searched piece by piece, they would not be able to achieve the effect of a sneak attack. If they were scattered in groups like this, they would simply rush in and die!

Soon, several teams with torches searched the outer perimeter of the abbot.

"what!"

In the darkness, there was a scream, and soon, the sound of fighting and screams rang out.

"The traitor is here, come quickly!"

Squads from all over began to gather here, and the Jin Yiwei in the darkness also approached quietly, and a scuffle ensued.

Taichang raised his binoculars and looked at it for a while, then frowned again.

These guards are not ordinary!

The one-sided massacre he imagined did not happen. Although Jin Yiwei took the lead secretly, once he appeared and killed one or two people, he would be entangled, and the fight was quite hard, and it would take a lot of effort to kill another one.

This is not going to work. If Jin Yiwei suffers too many casualties, it will be difficult to run away.

He put down the binoculars, and said to Ge Cheng who was beside him: "Old Ge, how about you go up and help, Jin Yiwei is going to be exhausted, and it may be difficult for us to get out of the city."

Hearing this, Ge Cheng cupped his hands without hesitation and said, "Observe the order."

After speaking, he turned into a ghost and merged into the night.
