In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 194 The New Emperor Is Terrible

Du Gao stepped forward and had a chat with Xu Xiji. It was the first time that the two parties were the main officials of Lianghuai.

The imperial court adjusted Huainan West Road this time, but did not adjust Huainan East Road. Xu Xiji was still very happy, thinking that the imperial court recognized him.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Xiji found that Du Gao was followed by a middle-aged man, who was still dignified, so he asked, who is this?
Du Gao said: "This is Yue Fei's grandson, Yue Ke."

There was an uproar all around, and many generals of the Loyalty Army also looked over.

Yue Ke is now in his 30s. He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Qingyuan. Home Jiaxing.

It was also this year in history that Song Lizong began to reuse him.

While Du Gao was chatting with Xu Xiji, he entered the yard. Behind him, Lu Wende and Mo Xiaoqi were leading people to move things into the yard.

The yard is relatively large, but after so many people and boxes came in, it was still quite crowded.

At this moment, there was loud laughter from inside, and Li Quan walked in with his son Li Fen in three steps at a time.

When Zhao Gong saw Li Quan coming in, he immediately held up the imperial decree: "Li Quan, Deputy Envoy of Zhenfu on Jingdong Road and Jiedu Envoy of Baoding Army, accepts the decree."

Li Quan already knew what he was about to be sealed. Although he was not satisfied, he did a good job on the surface. He was already thinking about how to vent his dissatisfaction after receiving the imperial edict, how to seek a higher rank and more rewards ?
"My minister, Li Quan, accepts the order." After Li Quan finished speaking, he knelt down first.

Suddenly, there was a lot of kneeling around.

People knelt down in and out of the courtyard, and Li Quanfu's subordinates and soldiers also knelt everywhere.

Du Gao's expression was slightly different.

Because originally, he thought that Li Quan would go to the pier to receive the order.

Usually in this case, Li Quan would definitely take people to the pier to show his respect for the larger reward given by the emperor. If he did it at the pier, the chance of success would be greater.

But Li Quan didn't go to the pier, and stayed in the mansion to receive the order.

There are Li Quan's armored soldiers inside and outside the mansion, so Du Gao knew that this matter was a bit troublesome.

But he made a guarantee in front of the emperor that he would kill Li Quan no matter what, and they also made two-handed preparations.

At this time Zhao Gong was reading the imperial decree, and Li Quan leaned over to listen to the emperor's rewards. Corals, spices, countless, Li Quan was fascinated by listening to it, and became more and more serious. The new emperor was afraid of himself and wanted to win him over.

But Zhao Gong found something was wrong as he read it. Du Gao and Lu Wende were actually moving behind him.

He glanced slightly out of the corner of his eye, and saw Du Gao winking at Lu Wende.

Without saying a word, Lu Wende took a quick step forward, rushed straight at Li Quan, and shouted at the same time: "Li Quan."

Li Quan originally lowered his head, but when he heard someone calling him, he raised his head subconsciously.

Chi, I saw a cold light flash in front of my eyes.

With a splash, a human head rose into the sky.

Almost at the same time, some of the soldiers who followed Lu Wende and carried goods inside and outside the courtyard took out daggers from their pockets, and some pulled out long knives from the carriage.

Some people got into the carriage directly, pushed down a huge box in the carriage, and with a splash, a large pile of pearls poured out, revealing several crossbows inside.

Lu Wende killed Li Quan first, and then slashed at Li Quan's son Li Fen with his backhand.

When Li Fen heard his name was Li Quan, he also looked up, and when he looked up, he saw his father's head flying up. He screamed in fright, and when it was too late, Lu Wende slashed at Li Fen again with his backhand. The reaction was quick, one rolled on the spot, and avoided the danger.

Lu Wende rushed forward in three steps and two steps, Liu Qingfu just stood up on the ground, Mo Xiaoqi rushed forward with a soldier, and they stabbed with daggers.

Liu Qingfu was furious and wanted to draw the knife, but Mo Xiaoqi pressed his hand on the handle of the knife, but he failed to pull it out several times, and finally fell to the ground with a bang, his body was full of holes.

The yard was full of chickens flying and dogs jumping, screaming and cursing endlessly.

The people brought by Lu Wende and Mo Xiaoqi were either veterans of the strong and brave army, or ruthless people who participated in the Lin'an Mutiny in February. They have tried repeatedly to stab people personally. In the small courtyard, these generals were approached by two or three , There was no chance to draw the knife, and they were stabbed down one after another.

Generals around Li Quan, such as Liu Qingfu, Wang Wenxin, Guoanyong, Yan Tong, Xing De, etc., were almost taken over today.

Zhao Gong held the imperial decree and was stunned in place, not knowing what happened.

"What are you looking at, take a weapon, can Yue Ke fight?" Du Gao was also a fierce man, bent down to pick up Liu Qingfu's knife from the ground, and asked Yue Ke if he could fight.

Yue Ke is the grandson of Yue Fei, so it's not like he's powerless, so he quickly picked up a knife from the ground.

"Only kill Li Quan, those who surrender will not be killed, but will also be paid." Du Gao shouted loudly, and fought with Lu Wende and others and Li Quan's people around.

Du Gao's men were prepared and pre-emptively cut down a large group of Li Quan's men, and immediately closed the door behind them.

There was a lot of noise and cursing outside, and soon someone ran away without hitting the gate, probably to mobilize troops.

The courtyard quickly calmed down.

Mo Xiaoqi led people all the way to kill, Li Fen fled into the backyard, but was still caught up, Yang Miaozhen was also at the scene, and they were arrested together.

Li Fen and Yang Miaozhen cursed angrily all the way, scolded the court for being vicious, and said, if you kill us, you can't leave Chuzhou, and you will all be killed.

Although Chuzhou has soldiers and horses from the imperial court, there are more loyal and righteous troops.

When Mo Xiaoqi returned to the front yard, the scene was full of corpses. His men were facing the ground to fix the knife, and each of them stabbed a few more times. Li Fen and Yang Miaozhen's faces turned green.

Xu Xiji, the ruler of Huaidong, was paralyzed on the ground, and Yao Chong, the governor of Chuzhou, also turned pale. No one expected that such a good promotion and celebration scene would become like this.

Thinking about it again, on the day of the emperor's wedding, there was a sudden mutiny, and the new emperor always did things unexpectedly, which was too scary.

"Du Zhi Mansion, what is the meaning of this, what is the trouble, this is Chuzhou—" Xu Xiji was about to cry: "If you kill Li Quan, you will not escape death."

"So what." Du Gao said sharply, "I am willing to be loyal to His Majesty, as long as I can get rid of Li Quan."

"Those of us who are afraid of death will not come."

Mo Xiaoqi, who was born as a boy in the palace, didn't snort, and called Yao Chong directly: "Look at the ground, is there any general beside Li Quan?"

While Mo Xiaoqi was speaking, his subordinates were looking for them in several carriages in the yard.

They pushed more than 50 carriages, and then [-] of them were pulled into the yard, and [-] scattered ones were left outside without moving.

Some of these carriages are full of treasures, and some have weapons in them.

At this time, boom, someone lifted a few relatively large boxes from the carriage, and then opened the boxes.

Hiss, Xu, Yao, Li Fen and others gasped.

I saw two soldiers raising a cannon they had never seen before.

Then someone knocked on the box one after another, picked up the cannon mount, and put the cannon on it.

Moments later, four artillery pieces were erected at the scene.

Yao Chong said in a trembling voice: "Xia Quan is guarding Haizhou, Shi Qing is in Jiaoxi, Zheng Yande is in Yizhou, Li Fu is in Qingzhou, Chuzhou and Sitian are not here."

"Who are they, can they be recruited?" Du Gao asked.

Yao Chong said that Shi Qing and Xia Quan had a chance to surrender, especially when Shi Qing was not Li Quan's confidant, but Zheng Yande and Li Fu were Li Quan's confidant, and Tian Si, who was defending the north gate of Chuzhou, was from Li Quan's personal guard. Be sure to go to the north to inform Tian Si, and Tian Si will bring an army to come immediately.

Du Gao asked again: "How far is the camp of the brave army in Chuzhou? Is it possible to fight?"

The Zhiyong Army was Yao Chong's soldiers. He immediately grimaced and said that the distance was a little far, six or seven miles to the west, but. .

The Song Army in Chuzhou must not be as powerful as the Zhongyi Army in terms of combat power. Otherwise, Xu Guo would not have escaped, and he would not even have resisted.

Lu Wende said at this time: "Don't panic, wait for Tian Si to come, beat Tian Si to death, these people will rush away."

Most of the generals of the Loyalty Army died on the spot, killing Tian Si again, there should be no cohesion, not to mention, Li Fen and Yang Miaozhen are still in their hands.

"Li Fen, Yang Miaozhen, are you willing to recruit the loyal army?" Du Gao turned around and asked.

Both of them yelled at the court for being unkind and unrighteous.

"Gag their mouths." Seeing that the persuasion to capitulate was ineffective, Du Gao waved his hand and gagged the mouths of the two of them first.

"Open the door and kill out." Du Gao was quite brave.

They are few in number, so they stand here waiting for the opponent's army to arrive, and they will surely die. They have to go out first, and there are still people outside who can come to meet them.

Mo Xiaoqi immediately arranged to point the two cannons at the gate, push them within ten steps behind the gate, then loaded the cannonballs and ignited them.

Many people have never seen such a cannon, and only heard him shouting: "The left is solid, the right is shot, light it."

"aim---"

"Open the door."

The door was slammed open.

A large wave of nearby soldiers and horses had already gathered outside.

"Kill." I don't know who yelled, Li Quan's soldiers rushed in when they saw the gate opened.

Boom, the sound of a cannon was earth-shattering.

Some people at the scene may have heard the sound of the cannon for the first time, and they almost sat down on the ground in fright.

Puff, a shot hit the soldiers who rushed in first, countless dense iron and gravel, the scene of the hit was terrible, and the soldiers were cut down like they were being cut.

Then, with a bang, solid bullets were shot out almost immediately behind.

Under the action of short-distance kinetic energy, the solid bullet tore apart everything in front of him, and pulled out a long path of blood.

Almost no one within 25 meters of the gate could stand after the cannon fire.

The scene was extremely tragic, the inside and outside of the door collapsed, and many people lost their arms, legs, feet, and even their heads.

Many armored soldiers on both sides of the door were stunned by two cannonballs before rushing in, and some people fell heavily because of the cannonball.

"Mine." A moment later, someone screamed, turned around and ran away.

Du Gao, Lu Wende and others were also stunned.

This is the first time that Zhao Yurui's cannons are used in actual combat, because during the february palace change, Zhao Yurui prepared artillery, but it was useless.

It was the first time that everyone saw the power of the new artillery, and the scene of the fight was horrible.
