"The restoration of order in the capital has just begun."

With all the sights, there was a mess after the disaster. The body was moved to the side of the road, with blood stains and various messy garbage on the street. Two lucky cows were pulled together, and the injured and fell to the ground could only kill them. A military soldier who had been a butcher stabbed the beneath the body of the fallen cow with a gun and looked for his heart, and fell from the eyes of the cow with a rippling tears. "Look," the military soldier gently stroked the cow's neck and whispered to the side: "This beast is spiritual, knowing that he is going to die, so sad. I want to give it a pleasure." His hand suddenly came forward, and a stream of blood splattered out. The injured cow's body twitched twice and stopped moving.

Dutou Ding Jin came over and asked for instructions: "Master, how should we deal with these cattle?"

Zhao Xingde looked at this scene in silence and said casually: "The dead cow is cooked and eaten, and the soldiers are slaughtered. Two live cows are tied outside for three days, and wait for the owner to claim it. If they are robbed, they will be returned to him." If there is no war, the soldiers will not be able to eat meat. This dynasty prohibits killing plowing oxen privately, and beef is not usually eaten. More than two thousand soldiers eat more than a dozen cows, and each person only gets more than one pound of beef.

"Thank you for your reward!" Ding Jin passed the news, and the soldiers immediately cheered, all of them showing joy.

Seeing this, Lin Zhengan said intimately: "Yue Yan and Zhao Kuan are indeed not false words."

At this time, Chongyi sent Li Jixian to personally lead the horse to Zhao Xingde and said, "Jie Zheng, this is the mount of the last general, and it is quite gentle." "Thank you General Li!" Zhao Xingde took the reins and ordered, "I will go to the Southeast Xing camp to dispatch troops and horses, General Li will coordinate the guards of the camps." "Jie Zheng is safe," Li Jixian said loudly, "The tiger's power is still there, and they are looking for death when they come again."

Lin Zhen smiled dryly and said, "You guys are so good at talking."

Zhao Xingde nodded, and did not give any more instructions. He turned around and asked, "General Lin, are you willing to accompany Zhao to the camp?"

"The last time I will obey the order," Lin Zhengan felt a stern heart and said with a fist: "But by the order of the Marquis of Wuchang."

Zhao Xingde smiled slightly, as if he was not paying attention to his differences in titles. He turned over the horse, gently clamped the horse's belly, shouted, and the mount immediately ran lightly. Two guards were guided, Lin Zhengan and two other followers urged the horse to follow behind and rushed to the southeast camp outside Wuchang Gate.

In the commander's tent in the Southeast Daying Commander, Liu Shi sat on the commander's seat, and thin beads of sweat emerged from his forehead.

The commander and above officers arrived, but the commander did not come. After seeing the face of the Minister of War, the officers waited for half an hour and saw that Liu Shi had no rules and was not so majestic. Some people gradually couldn't help themselves and began to complain and say strange words. There were too many people, and even if Wang Gui sat on it, he couldn't tell where the buzzing sound came. Liu Shi was worried and did not stop him.

A burst of cannons came from the city, and the generals became increasingly unscrupulous. In addition to complaining, they also guessed what happened. Some people guessed that the rioters robbed the iron barrel cannon and were attacking the Prime Minister's Mansion. Some people guessed that the warehouse where the Ministry of War stored gunpowder was lit. Liu Shi was worried and looked out from time to time. A guard came to Bing and said that the Prime Minister sent someone to come. Liu Shi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked to enter the camp. The generals were still talking, wondering if they wanted to go to the city to quell the chaos, and speculated that if the court wanted to quell the chaos, they didn't know which general would be sent to command the army.

In the tent of the Central Army, which should have been solemn, there was a chaotic scene. Zhao Xingde stepped into the tent and frowned. He did not go forward to hand over Liu Shi. He stood at the door and looked around. At this time, the generals in the tent also looked at the door. An officer immediately recognized Zhao Xingde, his face changed drastically, and said in a lost voice: "Ship Zhao Jie?!" "Zhao, Grand Marshal!"

After Zhao Xingde crossed the river and made a northern expedition, Wang Gui took charge of the southeast camp. Although it had been expanded several times, the old foundation in the camp was still the same. The officers above the command often talked about it, and many people once patted their chests and said, "We have followed Zhao Shuai long ago, and we almost attacked Bianjing." His face seemed regretful and he looked very dissatisfied.

After exclaiming, some of the officers looked surprised, some were disbelief, and they became quiet in an instant.

There was a silence in the tent. Zhao Xingde nodded to the generals, walked along the empty path to the front of the commander's case, bowed to the dumbfounded Liu Shi, and said in a deep voice: "I, Zhao Xingde, on the order of the Prime Minister, came to dispatch the Southeast Camp to the city to quell the rebellion." After that, he took out the order from his arms and handed it to Liu Shi. Although Liu Shi was not the commander of the Southeast Camp, this procedure still needs to be done in full view of everyone.

Liu Shi took over the order, looked at it and gave it back to Zhao Xingde, and bowed, "Please ask the Hou Dian of Wuchang to quell the rebellion." He stood up and gave up his position as the general.

In front of everyone, Zhao Xingde was not polite, and sat in the middle and placed Junzhi on Shuaiken Mountain. He looked around the generals in the tent and found some familiar faces. Facing those excited gazes, he nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I won't say much about the silence. The riots outside the Prime Minister's Mansion have been stalemate. Perhaps, there are still people who are not giving up and are gathering the remaining parties. In addition, there are rogues in the city robbing the fire. Therefore, they need to dispatch a large army into the city," Zhao Xingde looked at the generals and said sternly, "A battalion of soldiers enters a neighborhood, but there are people who gather to cause trouble or take advantage of the fire to rob. Do you all know?"

"I know!" the generals said in unison, but some people still hesitated and did not answer.

"Master," the guards Feng Cheng hesitated for a moment, and Yue Zhong shouted: "The last general is still confused!"

"Oh?" Zhao Xingde nodded, "What are your doubts?"

"Just just now, the sound of cannons in the city was bombarding the students who were outside the prime minister's mansion? This dynasty had family rules and did not kill scholars and officials or those who spoke. Although the students in each state were not necessarily scholars and officials, even if they were a bit offensive, how could the general Jie disregard ignore the court system and order the bombardment and attack those who wrote to write and speak? Furthermore, should scholars gather together in the neighborhood and kill them?"

"Dare to ask about the Jieshuai," the hall's eyes fell on him. Feng Xian did not retreat at all. He took a step forward and questioned, "Ten years ago, Cai Jing and Li Bangyan, who dealt with Xianggong Chen and Jieshuai in this way?" There were also many officers who sympathized with the students in the imperial examination. Although they dared not question openly like Feng Xian, they were all confused in their hearts, and they all looked at Zhao Xingde.

Liu Shi was shocked and angry, Lin Zhengan frowned, looked at Feng Xian deeply, and said nothing.

"It is indeed the rule of this dynasty that does not kill the people who write to the letter to talk about things." Zhao Xingde looked directly at Feng Yan and replied, "However, if you violate the great etiquette law and attempt to bypass the Ministry of Rites to convene the public discussion of academic affairs, expel the prime minister, or even gather people to siege the prime minister's mansion, it is no longer in the court's rules. The prime minister of the court was elected by the world's academic affairs in accordance with the great etiquette law. The students who were entrusted to expel them in such a group, what is the big etiquette law? Once this example begins, the authority of the imperial center and the great etiquette law is lost. If everyone in the county and counties do not abide by the etiquette law, then the Song Dynasty will fall apart and only be between day and night. Can I explain the importance of the great etiquette law?"

"Even so," Feng Cheng asked, "Does Jishuai have to bombard it with artillery?"

"The cannons are amazing, and bombardment can deterrent effect," Zhao Xingde said calmly, "What is the difference between killing people with a white blade and killing people with a cannon? As long as I force them to give up the siege of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the whole city of Ezhou is in chaos. Every moment of delay, more people will die." He looked at Feng Ying and shook his head, "You can't figure it out, you can stay in the camp," he looked up and glanced at the other officers and said in a deep voice, "If you can't figure it out, you can stay now, but if you resist the military order, you will definitely be punished by military law afterwards."

"The last general joins the army just to expel the Northern Seizures," Feng Xian raised his head and said, "I would rather go against the order."

"You have the right to have the opinion and take responsibility." Zhao Xingde nodded, looked at the other officers and asked, "Is there any?" The tent was quiet, and a few more officers stood up after a while. Zhao Xingde allowed them to hand over the command to other generals, and then continued to arrange the matter of entering the city to quell the chaos.

"First, after entering the city, first tell the people that the turmoil has been quelled, and entering the neighborhood only prevents anyone from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. Second, for three days, those who have taken advantage of the chaos to privately acquire other people's property and return the property to the original owner can forgive their crimes. However, those who commit murder, injured people and traitors are not included in the ranks and confiscated property. Three days later, people are encouraged to sue the traitors. Once the defendant proves his crime, the confiscated property belongs to the traitors. Third, in order to prevent civil unrest, the soldiers of the camp strictly prohibited from placing residences and only camp on the steps and eaves. If the master does not invite him, they are not allowed to enter the private house to search for prisoners. To achieve these three things, the court will definitely reward him after quelling the riots. Do you understand?"

"The last general understands!" The generals accepted the order in unison. Feng Xian and several other officers looked at him with complicated expressions. After they retreated, the officers who voluntarily participated in the quelling of the rebellion became even more united. Zhao Xingde made three rules to make the generals feel at ease and probably knew what to do after entering the city. Liu Shi also let down. If he could really do it, the riots he was most worried about would not appear.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Xingde appointed four deputy generals to contact the four aspects of the city, southeast, west and north, and then referring to the detailed maps of the entire city of Ezhou, the generals came forward one by one to determine the neighbors to which the battalion was to be stationed. Then, the generals returned to the camp to gather their troops. Everything seemed orderly. When everything was arranged, Zhao Xingde personally led the army, and the whole team entered the city from Wuchang Gate, and continued to divide the camps and enter various neighbors along the way. Wherever the army went, the small little girl immediately disappeared.

In the evening, the yamen runners also came out to maintain order, but only a few fires were not extinguished, but spreading.

On the steps of the prime minister's mansion, Chen Dong looked at the fire that reflected the red sky, and remained silent.

Deng Suyou said: "Last year, a fire burned thousands of people to death." Suddenly, he felt a chill on his cheeks, and he reached out to touch them. His fingertips were stained with water, and there was still a little crystal clear. "It's snowing!" Deng Su turned his worries into joy, looking up at the sky. The snowflakes were like fine grains of salt at first, and then became more and more distinct. A spring snow was falling from the sky, and the snowflakes were covered with cold air, covering the sky after the disaster.
