The water is slanting from the gurgling sun, and there is no chicken, dog or crow.
Thousands of villages are like cold food, and there are no crowds and flowers.
"Since Sha County arrived in Longxi County after the Quanzhou Army, the villages were all empty because of a uniqueness" Tang Dynasty: Han Hao
—I am the dividing line —
In the city of Chang'an, following the previous rainy night, under the clear moonlight, a large stream of blood flowed across the street again, and gathered like a rolling curtain into the cobweb-covered ditch waterway. However, this is a long overdue, but almost inevitable result and tragedy.
Especially those Daqi soldiers who returned to the city after the exhaustion and pain of the rest of their lives after the war were relieved, only to find that their homes had been destroyed or ransacked. The wives, concubines, children, relatives, and relatives were the tragic reality of being massacred After that; the undercurrent inevitably became turbulent in private.
Because too many people have lost their precious things and loved ones. So I don’t know who set the precedent for private vendettas and revenge. Then, in the street confrontation and clashes of the patrol team that came to inquire, it disturbed and affected the soldiers and soldiers who had more similar experiences, and it became more and more intense. .
In the beginning, it was just a targeted break in, copying and killing some of the officials of the old dynasty who were suspected of participating in the anti-shui and Xiancheng and their stakeholders; then it affected those who had been willing or forced to subordinate to officials. A home for the civilians and civilians in the army; then more people were killed in one anger, and the interest in the killing started, and it began to inevitably spread;
Under the dual effects of excitement and blood stimulation, they couldn't or were too lazy to distinguish the difference between red, red and white. They wanted to catch and kill all people who seemed suspicious, and only the desire and impulse to vent was left. As a result, the butcher knife that was difficult to put aloft from the old officials and courtiers began to spread to other wealthy houses, and even ordinary people who seemed to have nothing to do with them.
At the same time, Meng Kai, Jing Zhao Shao Yin and Zhumen's ambassador for defense, who had resumed his previous post, could only stand on the archway of his Jing Zhao Mansion’s Yamen, watching the tragedies that are happening far and near. , But there is nothing that can do nothing but close the door tightly.
Because many people under his command have already joined it; these members of the patrol team were even agitated and coerced in the process of stopping. And if the rest of them hadn't been for him to lock the door with his own soldiers, and cut off the influence of internal and external traffic and incitement, I am afraid that they would have to step into the footsteps of this fanatical and tyrannical revenge feast.
"Hurry up and send someone to take the south of the city for help... The only thing you can do right now is to count on them..."
In the end, Meng Kai gritted his teeth and made the difficult choice; although he had sent a messenger before, but the matter had reached such a turbulent point, he still did not get a corresponding reply, and he could not even see from Shufang He did not expect much from the reaction of Wang Wang, who was in Bei Nei, because of the response.
In fact, Huang Chao, who was awakened from the Daming Palace in Bei Nei, utterly screamed at the courtiers and generals who were hurriedly summoned in the Jinluang Temple.
"What's going on here again... How did it suddenly become like this..."
"It is true that the Erlangs saw the terrible situation at home and felt resentful, so they couldn't help but acted and wanted Shen Xue to avenge him, but they didn't want everyone to have such thoughts and misses, and things were out of control."
A military general on duty bowed his head and squirmed
"How many times I have said that this matter will be long in Japan, but it can be settled and processed slowly. Why can't it be controlled? Or are you all made of clay, even your subordinates can't control it..."
Huang Chao was heartbroken.
"Sacred Enlightenment, it is true that everyone is on the top of their heads. I really can't stop it, and I can't stop it!"
There is another general who bites his head and arches his hands
"In the past few days, my brothers have been crying and begging to be accounted for, just begging to hate their family members! This matter together makes it even more uncomfortable..."
"Holy, now the military spirit is fierce and everyone's expectations, if my generation insists on obstructing things, I am afraid that there will be unexpected things..."
"The emperor, this matter can only be guided by the prevailing circumstances and not against the current! Only if they let them vent for a while, maybe they will have the heart to obey the military order... Otherwise, there is a fear of turmoil, and it will be difficult to deal with it! !!!"
However, Huang Chao looked at these faces with earnestness, helplessness, eagerness, or worry; but suddenly he felt a little strange and vague, as well as the frustrated weakness in his heart, and then turned into The chill came through the entire back.
Then Huang Chao, who took a deep breath, asked Huang Bing, the imperial envoy on duty:
"How many people are still available in my imperial city?"
"Sage of Qizhi, there are still five thousand Environmental Guards staying in the imperial city, four thousand Gongchen Army and Weihe Mansion are on duty with Bei Nei now, there is no other choice..."
Huang Bing, the emperor of the imperial city, said in a calm voice, but also pointedly:
However, Huang Chao was silent for a moment, because he really had no way to make up his mind, risking the weakening and emptiness of the internal defense force, and sending troops out of the palace to suppress and settle the chaos. But he didn't want to give up, and after a while, he reopened:
"Then let the Environmental Guard Army and the Gongchen Army allocate a thousand men and horses, separate out the Danfeng Gate and Chengtian Gate, and disperse and guard anyone who dares to approach the imperial city and wait..."
Even though the generals and subordinates present had different expressions, they couldn't help but feel relieved; because this step-down move, which was like a cover-up, also meant that Huang Chao completely gave up the last bit of effort and hope to intervene in this matter.
At the same time, the streets patrolled by Taiping sergeants were already crowded with people rushing to flee; and to the north of them, there were more people driving and supporting the old and the young. He was crying and screaming towards these quieter city squares.
However, the street guards and checkpoints that contacted and worked hard to maintain order soon had to send out urgent and help signals:
"The situation in the North City is completely out of control. There are many people who want to burn, kill, and looting..."
"It is again emphasized to strictly guard the front line to prevent people from taking the opportunity to center and cause chaos and incitement to sabotage; according to the No. 17 plan, extraordinary measures are allowed to deter and warn..."
"There are too many people who have escaped, and they can't be taken in here. They can only guide them to continue to the south of the city... Request the support of the main formation to reset the containment point..."
"Some people have chased and killed in chaos and cannot maintain order on the scene; in order to prevent large-scale crowds from squeezing and trampling, the shooting team and fire throwers are preparing to carry out deterrent blows..."
In another temporary stronghold in the city square, it was another scene.
"I beg the Deputy Lieutenant to allow me to save my family... They are not far away in the square, maybe they can save one or two more."
One of the members of the patrol team, more than a dozen auxiliary soldiers of local origin also knelt to the ground, and kowtowed to Du Hong, the deputy on duty:
"No matter how bad it is, please raise your hand high and let me go back and act on my own when I get out of this outfit..."
"Forget it, you don't need to take it off, I will lead the team with you to pick up people..."
However, Du Hong gritted his teeth and said decisively:
"Lieutenant, I'm afraid it's wrong... not only will it involve a big relationship, but I'm afraid that there will be suspicion of leaving the post without authorization..."
Then someone whispered to discourage:
"I already want to understand. Since you can serve in my Taiping Army, their family members are my Taiping Army's family members; if you can do what you can, shouldn't you give me a helping hand and rescue..."
On the contrary, Du Hong became more determined and loudly said:
"With half of the manpower, apart from the top of Ming Ming, I will send another person to Tongbing and the neighboring troops. It may be a joint response and advance or retreat. I will take care of all the relations..."
"It's the same reason..."
"The deputy lieutenant is right..."
"The deputy accompanied the school lieutenant to work hard..."
The soldiers of the Peace who gathered nearby suddenly responded after hearing the sound, and then, under his assignment, turned into long dragons with open flames holding sticks and running away. (End of this chapter)
