Chapter 1523 The inside should be combined with the outside

The prince's team had quickly left before the refugees rushed to Nancheng. The car was like the wind along the way. When they arrived at the prince's mansion, it was already light and the shouts of Nancheng came over, rushing straight to the sky, breaking the peace of the capital.

Along the way, the prince sent orders continuously, and Nancheng was attacked. At this time, it was extremely difficult to organize the troops of the various departments of Nancheng Wujingwei. He could only let Nancheng Wujingwei fight on their own. The prince did not expect Nancheng Wujingwei to stop the refugees' footsteps. He only hoped that Nancheng Wujingwei would not give up resistance and try his best to resist, and gain time for the mobilization of personnel in the capital.

In recent times, the prince's main energy has been placed on the front line. Although he is in the capital, he controls the deployment of Qinshui's troops and tries his best to ensure the logistics supply on the front line. In his plan, even if the Qinshui bridge is broken, the Tianmen Road will not retreat easily. They will inevitably build ships on the south bank, cross the river, and the battle between Qinshui will inevitably be a lasting battle.

It is precisely because of this that although the prince was also wary of the unrest in the capital, his main energy was ahead.

He did not expect that the refugees outside the city would eventually become the biggest threat to the capital. Without Tianmen Road to kill, the refugees outside the capital would rebel first.

A large number of refugees appeared outside the Xicheng. The prince was preparing to use the strategy of first inside and then outside to prevent refugees from entering the city. He first cut off the rebellion in the city and then came forward to appease the people outside the city. It was just to open the granary at that time. However, he did not expect that the other party had a plan. Now that he thought about it, the refugees outside the Xicheng were obviously just a trick to attract the attention of the capital to the direction of the Xicheng, and the other party's breakthrough point was in the south city.

The refugees outside the Nancheng had already organized themselves under the temptation of people with ulterior motives, and then they cooperated inside and outside, breaking through the South Gate in one fell swoop. The guards at the Nancheng Gate were not strong. Most of the Wujing Guards were scattered in various yards to guard against the chaos and their troops were dispersed. Now the Nancheng Gate was broken, and it was difficult for the Wujing Guards to gather quickly, so they could only fight on their own and could not form strong combat power. The entire capital was already in danger.

Refugees rushed into the city like a flood. In anger, most people had lost their minds. At this time, they could not hear any advice. If they wanted to retreat, they could only use troops to suppress them by force. But what made the prince difficult was that there were very few troops in his hands that could be called now.

In addition to the Wujingwei, which guards the capital, the Tunwei troops that can be mobilized were all transferred to the Qinshui River to block the offensive of the Tianmendao and protect the capital. Originally, the Empire established the Tunwei Guards, and there were Tunwei troops stationed on both sides of the east and west of the city. When the troops were at its peak, it once reached more than 100,000, which were well-equipped and elite soldiers and once represented the powerful force of the Empire.

However, in the Hebei Rebellion, Han Santong took away part of it, and in the Southeast Rebellion, Lei Guheng took away part of it. The troops guarding the capital gradually dispersed. In the end, the remaining troops of the guards had to be transferred to Qinshui to resist Tianmen Road. The guards guards guarding the capital could be said to be all air-conditioned. Even the most elite royal guards guarding the imperial city were taken away because of the emperor's northern patrol, and only more than a thousand were left to guard the imperial city. Not to mention the transfer of the entire capital, even the protection of an imperial city was too short. It was impossible to transfer one army and one soldier.

While sending people to order other city gates to close the gates and strengthen the garrison, the prince must not let any refugees rush in from other gates. At the same time, he ordered the general banner of Wujingwei to draw troops to the southern city as much as possible to suppress the refugees rushing into the capital. Although he knew that even if Wujingwei gathered all over the city, there were only a few thousand people, Wujingwei was already the only army that he could mobilize.

As soon as the prince entered the mansion, a group of officials had already come up. The first one was Chen Keqiu, the right commander of the Censorate, and was also the core figure of the prince's party. At this time, Zhao Quan had already carried the prince into a wheelchair. Chen Keqiu had already come forward and bowed and said anxiously: "The governor's country, the southern city gate was broken, refugees flocked into the city, killing and setting fire, does the governor know?"

The prince said, "You all know?"

"Superior State, what should I do now?" Chen Keqiu said anxiously: "There are no more troops outside the city that can be mobilized. There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city. If all of them rushed into the city, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Even if you don't rush in, it's unimaginable." The prince looked grim. "I have mobilized Wu Jingwei and prepared to organize a suppression, but the power is still weak..."

An official behind Chen Keqiu said, "Your Highness, the refugees rushed to Nancheng. Now Nancheng is in chaos. The lower officials are worried that Nancheng's Hyogo will soon fall into their hands. If so...!"

The prince's eyebrows were locked tighter.

The three major imperial depots in the capital all store weapons and equipment. The refugees who rushed into the city are now very simple. However, once they really occupy the arsenal of Nancheng, open the arsenal, and take out the weapons stored in it, a group of refugees will have elite weapons in their hands. Even if they are mobs, their destructive power will be great.

"There is only one way to do the present." The prince said in a deep voice: "Master Shen, you are ready to set off immediately and go to Dongcheng and Beicheng, gather people, open Hyogo, and suppress the rebellion."

"Gather manpower?" Chen Keqiu was stunned.

The prince frowned and said, "The East City is mostly mansions and mansions, and there are countless officials. There are slaves in their mansions. You should come forward in person and tell them that they can organize all the slaves in their mansions, and then go to the arsenal to get weapons. After receiving the weapons, they will directly hand them over to the command of the Wujingwei Bureau in each yard."

When Chen Keqiu and others heard this, their eyes lit up, "Your Highness is saying to stop the slaves and the guards from the hospital to suppress those rioters?"

"Not bad." The prince nodded and said, "Now only these people can use it. Tell them that the refugees outside the city will kill and set fire, and kill people when they see them. If they have to retreat one by one at this time, they will not have any good endings at that time. You will say it is my order. As long as the refugees are repelled and military achievements are made, the palace will definitely receive a lot of rewards."

Chen Keqiu knew that it was not appropriate to go, so he bowed and said, "The official will take the people to act separately." He said goodbye and left the prince's mansion, quickly became a leader, and organized people to prepare for resistance.

When Chen Keqiu and others retreated, Zhao Quan immediately ordered the guards, "Close all the doors, mobilize all the people, and guard all the mansions, but if there is any abnormality, report it immediately." Then he pushed the prince into the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Liuli had already come to us. Seeing that the prince was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief. He immediately asked someone to take hot water and serve the prince to wash his face. Then he said softly: "Your Highness, is there something big in the city? The sky to the south is red, and there seems to be a big fire there."

The prince tried his best to calm himself down and smiled faintly: "Don't worry, it's just that the rioters are causing trouble. I have sent someone to suppress him and will soon calm down."

"Your Highness, you haven't eaten for a day. I'll get you some food..."

The prince shook his head, turned his wheelchair, faced outside the door, stared at the door with his eyes, and murmured to himself: "This capital... is really not guaranteed?"

The dawn had not yet arrived. The glimmer of light before dawn shone into the house through the window lattice. This is an extremely ordinary house in Beijing, deserted and remote, in a remote place in Beijing. The dilapidated door was pushed open. The golden spear with a tiger back and bear waist entered the house with a golden spear. Then, the somewhat embarrassed Han Wang Yingping held a big knife in his hand and followed into the house.

Behind him, Tian Hou and three or four subordinates were about to follow into the house. Jin Gun looked over his eyes and said coldly: "Yingping stays, everyone else gets out..."

His voice was cold and fierce. King Han, Tian Hou and others were stunned. Yingping's eyes twitched, and Tian Hou clenched his fists slightly with one hand, but he finally pushed the door out.

The furnishings in the house are extremely simple, with only one wooden table and only one chair. The golden spear sat down on the chair with a big golden knife, looked at Yingping, and said lightly: "Close the door!"

His tone was like an order that could not be disobeyed. Yingping frowned and did not close the door. He just said lightly: "I am very grateful for your help, but... you are not qualified to give orders to me!"

"call out!"

The strong wind moved, and the golden spear was like lightning. The cold and sharp spear tip was already pressed against Yingping's throat. Yingping changed color slightly, but he still reluctantly sneered: "Do you want to kill me?"

"Don't call yourself the king in front of me." The golden spear said coldly: "Since you have made an oath to break with the Qin royal family, and from now on, you will only obey the orders of God, then you will no longer be the King of Han of Qin. This title is no longer necessary. If you want to kill you, if you need it, this golden spear can kill anyone, including you."

"I... I said that I am working with you, not your subordinates." Yingping's cheekbone protruded, "My God and your God are just a cooperative relationship, not his subordinates, and there is no need to obey his orders."

"You are a smart person." Jin Gun said lightly: "Cooperation is just a nice saying. Without us, you are just a poor person who pretends to be crazy and stupid, and you will never have a chance to make a comeback. You are a smart person, and there are some words that everyone understands, so there is no need to pretend to be confused."

Yingping's eyes twitched, and he pondered for a moment before saying, "Even if I really want to act according to the plan you set, it can only act according to your God's will. You have no right to order me."

"I am representing God now." The Golden Spear General said coldly: "I will ask you, why will you assassinate Yingxiang tonight? The task I will give you is to contact you with all the manpower you can use in the city. Just wait for the order of this general, and I will cooperate inside and outside. I will deploy outside the city... You acted without authorization and organized this assassination, and did not report to me in advance. Do you know your crime?"
