However, it was like some kind of providence that was out of Zhao Zhang's expectation and judgment. It was only the wind direction of most things in Chang'an the next day that subtle changes occurred with a piece of news.
The first is the 10,000 soldiers and horses from the veteran military envoy Duguan and the commander of the western capital of the capital, Gaihong, from the Xiaoguan side; and also the Jiedu envoy Li Changfu, who returned to Fengxiang Town, led by his brother Li Changyan. Five thousand paces arrived in the western suburbs of Chang'an, claiming to have come to Chang'an to meet and advance and offer prisoners; then, together with a 4,000-man horse from Xianyang, escorted a batch of seized armor and weapons and arrived in the north almost at the same time. Outside the Chongxuan Gate inside.
Immediately on the third day, there was a delivery from Tongguan; it was said that it was a military horse under the command of Zhuge Shuang from the Guandong Heyang Jiedu, led by the general Li Hanzhi, the 8,000 "master of the king" has arrived in China. Near Yincheng. As for why this King of Qin Master walked on the road for ten and a half days, and the nearest Hezhong Jiedushi Wang Chongrong, there was no movement; no one cared for the time being.
But in any case, such a series of seemingly changing changes made many stakeholders in the new dynasty of Daqi and other people suddenly breathe a sigh of relief. The waist was straightened a lot, and even the voice of speech changed. It seems to be big; all of them resolutely expressed their stance on various occasions to stand by the side of the emperor, and fight to the end with the ulterior motives who steal the small joke in the city.
Just as the Daqi court is paying attention both inside and outside, looking forward to the new changes and changes in the situation that these leading figures of foreign aid can bring after they have met with the Yellow King; It's almost unexpected to most people.
When the thoughtful general Yang Jingbiao walked out of the Zuoyintai Gate with a complete expression on his face, he still felt a little lingering resentment. Because he touched a nail at the palace gate that he routinely tapped, this time the sage hosted the palace banquet for those who came to meet the generals of the foreign army, and he did not have his own name for the first time.
Isn't this the most common way for people in the palace to step on lows? Isn't it because his troops were involved in the previous chaos in the city and suffered heavy losses under the attack of the Taiping Army? If the battalions under his staff are still intact, why do you need to look at the faces of these villains
After all, since Taiwei Shang, the second person in Daqi, died in the name of asking for an enemy, many people, including him, had already understood to some extent. As long as there is another force under his command who is obedient, he will have the capital to act arbitrarily in this world. It's just that the long-term Huang Wangji is very prestigious, and it is also due to the general trend of Xiaoguan Qipanling's defeat of the official army.
Coupled with the fact that everyone, their families and family members were all in Chang'an, they were able to work together to abandon the excess burden and rush all the way back. They also fought three times under the city of Chang'an where they belonged to the officers and the army, and the blood flowed into the river. The situation today. It's just that the big guy was really suppressed and pushed too hard before, and when the rough settled down, there would be a rebound and resurgence.
Therefore, the army generals, including him, had a somewhat indulgent and laissez-faire attitude toward the participation and instigation of the chaos in the city by their subordinates; in addition to the disguised reward and relaxation of their subordinates, they also It might not be the result of dissatisfaction and backlash against Huang Wang's previous attitude and style of showing weakness and shyness.
At least after this riot has risen, can the Taiping Army be able to stay out of the matter, and the two sides can continue to live in peace in this city? It's just that they obviously underestimated the fierceness and toughness of the Taiping Army's response to this, and they didn't think that the chief governor would protect and consider these at all costs. It seemed that there was not much connection and origin, as if it was a humble and small ant. Dictated by the people's determination;
So it was inevitable that all of them were in crisis under the violent Taiping offensive. What is even more unexpected is that Huang Wang suddenly became silent and calm about this. In addition to making people close the palace door and impose an order to raise their guard, appoint his nephew Lin Yan as the envoy of plenipotentiary negotiations; there is nothing more. More proactive measures or a more intense attitude. Now it was their turn to eat their own fruits and sit on the wax.
Yang Jingbiao could only make petitions and appeals in the palace over and over again. He watched his son Lang, who was divided in various places in the city, became a prisoner after the pressing Taiping Army defeated and killed them one by one. In the street trial that resembled the humiliation and face-slapped face, he was executed on the spot or relegated to hard labor, but tasted the taste of this powerless hatred.
Therefore, now that he cannot obtain and seek support from the leaders of these newly arrived soldiers through the opportunity to participate in the palace banquet; he can only think of other ways in private and think of self-help. And worked hard. He thought about walking in this way, except for the gatehouse, but he didn't see the guards and companions who were supposed to be waiting here for a while.
Instead, a group of armored soldiers rushed forward, surrounded him with clasped arms, and shouted sharply at the same time:
"Yang Jingbiao, you have left your post without permission, arguing for chaos, and instigating disputes."
"I'm not convinced, I have to bear it for generations; at this time, the slander and framing are so great that I will never be convinced even if I die..."
However, Yang Jingbiao seemed to suddenly break a certain string, and cried and cried out abnormally on the spot:
"Then please die first, and then come to the dream to appeal..."
The general who was responsible for capturing him suddenly leaned in his ear and said:
And while another related person, the military minister Zuo Shi Lang and the guardian envoy Lang Li Zhou was in his mansion, almost simultaneously when he was taken away by the guards of the Weihe Mansion who broke in, he also hissed. .
"Impossible! This is impossible! Obviously it is an instruction from the top! I want to see the Holy Spirit and say personally, his old man is deceived!"
At the same time, among the battalions and garrisons under their respective subordinates, it is not surprising that they were suppressed and controlled by the Environmental Guard and Gongchen Army, and had to be forced to disarm them after they assembled in public. , Accepted the result of being broken up and reprogrammed.
Those who belonged to the relatives, tribes, and old-fashioned members of these generals were also picked out one by one and taken away one by one in the process of propagating the decree that was convened temporarily. Therefore, in a short period of time, several soldiers and horses under Daqi's guards, after participating in the city's turmoil and being suppressed severe losses, were fragmented and even disappeared and disappeared.
And after nightfall, at the reception banquet held in the Penglai Hall of Daming Palace in Bei Nei. Huang Chao, who seemed to be smiling more and more amidst a toast and blessings, also touched his lips with the clear glass cup. Then he saw a certain signal brought by the appearance of the commander of the Weihe Mansion standing outside the palace gate, and he could not help but tilt his head slightly, seemingly intimate, sitting side by side at the same table, and the dignified and decent Empress Cao whispered:
"My sincerity has been taken out, and the next step is to look at our good son-in-law..." (End of this chapter)
