Chapter 289 The Rebellion in the Capital(1/5)

Boshu Rebellion!

An urgent military intelligence report traveling eight hundred miles away reached the capital.

Behind this rebellion, the White Lotus Sect was also involved.

The army under the command of Yang Wanlong, the chieftain of Bozhou, marched with overwhelming force and attacked several cities.

By the time the news reached the capital, Yang Wanlong had occupied more than ten cities, and many more prefectures in Sichuan and Guizhou provinces had fallen.

For a moment, people were panicked!

This rebellion can be said to have caught the imperial court off guard.

Li Chengliang in Liaodong had just put down the Tuman and Jurchen rebellions, and the vitality of the soldiers and horses in Liaodong was greatly damaged.

The 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing camp, as well as the soldiers and horses in Xuanfu and important towns in Datong, were all transferred to the Korean battlefield and have not returned yet.

The remaining troops and horses have to guard the Mongolian ministries and garrison key border towns.

The Japanese pirates on the southeast coast have not yet been completely pacified, and there are still small groups of Japanese pirates raging along the coast. The Zhejiang army is far away in Fujian, and only some local guard troops remain.

However, it is difficult to compliment the combat effectiveness of the various garrison troops. Otherwise, Yang Yinglong's army would not have captured several cities one after another in just a few days.

Since the news reached the capital, it instantly caused a sensation in the capital.

After discussions between the cabinet and court officials, it was decided to dispatch troops from Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang provinces to quell the rebellion.

As for the soldiers and horses of the Beijing Camp, the Shenji Camp and the Three Thousand Battalion left the capital at the beginning, but the Fifth Army Camp did not leave.

The Beijing camp is responsible for the important task of protecting the capital, and this is the limit of what can be allocated.

Originally, this matter should have been asked by Lin Mang, the assistant minister, but now that Lin Mang is away, everything has fallen to the cabinet.

At the same time, two thousand Jinyi guards from Beizhen Fusi left Beijing on horseback and went to Bozhou to participate in quelling the rebellion.

The commander-in-chief of the counter-rebellion this time was Qi Jiguang, the commander-in-chief of Fujian Province.

After all, Qi Jiguang was a famous general in the dynasty and had extremely high prestige. Moreover, it was difficult for the current court to find a suitable general to command the army.

The moment the Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi left the capital, each homing pigeon quickly flapped its wings and left the capital, flying to various places.



Southeast coast, ports.

Warships came slowly from the distant sea.

The area around the port was already besieged by the Confederate Army.

Since three days ago, this port has been suspended, no ships are allowed to dock, and even people around the port are not allowed to approach.

under night,

Dozens of royal guards lined up neatly, holding the embroidered spring knife on their waists with one hand, standing facing the sea breeze, with cold expressions.

After a few breaths, the warship slowly docked.

A group of royal guards quickly stepped off the warship, quickly changed their clothes, jumped onto the horses beside them, and quietly left in the night.



Time flies by quietly.

The first snow fell over the capital.

This heavy snowfall came earlier than previous years.

There were not many pedestrians on the street anymore.

There were only a few scattered Jianghu people carrying swords on their backs and walking towards the open restaurants on the street.

In the restaurant, the storyteller told the story of Marquis Wu An.

Some people in the hall were spending a lot of money, some were scornful, and some were full of contempt.

In the flower house on the side, countless children from aristocratic families spend huge sums of money just to win the oiran's smile.

There were literati and poets at the banquet, scolding Jin Yiwei for his cruelty and cruelty, and loudly rebuking Marquis Wu An for all his cruel actions.

The beggar on the street, with disheveled hair, was kneeling aside, his eyes dull, lamenting the hardships of the world, and cursing the greed of the officials.

This is a corner of the capital, and it is also a microcosm of the entire capital.

The doors of various official residences were closed today and it was extremely quiet.

The sky is getting dark.

The snow on the roof reflected a faint layer of moonlight.

Beizhen Fusi,

Yan Jue stood in the courtyard, holding his knife.

A layer of pure white snow fell on his shoulders and the felt hat on his head.

But his eyes were full of coldness.

Yan Jue held the secret letter in his hand and said to himself: "Have you endured it for so long, have you finally taken action?"

"Bang!"

In the distance, a firework rose into the sky, lighting up a corner of the sky.

At the moment when the fireworks were rising, fireworks were rising from all over the capital at the same time.

Not long after, fierce fighting and the sound of swords clashing broke out across the capital.

The sound of fighting was getting closer and closer, gradually approaching the palace.

After a while, a guard covered in blood rushed into the courtyard and said with fear on his face: "Sir, there is a rebellion in the city. There are many Jianghu people and many people from the Five Cities Military and Horse Division."

Yan Jue raised his eyes and glanced at him. His figure moved and a roar erupted from the spot.

"Qiang!"

The crisp sound of drawing a sword suddenly sounded.

In the void, a pale sword light flashed through, and the Xiuchun knife pierced directly into the heart of the visitor.

"Pfft!"

The Jin Yiwei who came to report the news suddenly widened his eyes and stared at Yan Jue in disbelief with an expression of astonishment.

Yan Jue casually pulled out the Xiuchun knife, took off the felt hat on his head, slowly wiped the blood on the knife, and said coldly: "I, Beizhen Fusi, don't have cowards like you."

Then he looked outside the courtyard and said coldly: "Everyone, come out. There's no need to hide."

He has transferred his true confidants into the palace, how could anyone come to report the news at this time.

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of people rushed in from outside the hospital, all dressed like Jianghu people.

These people are not weak in strength, and several of them are even more powerful at the master level.

The leader, a middle-aged man holding two daggers, stared at Yan Jue and asked coldly: "Where are the others?"

Since they entered Beizhen Fusi, they haven't seen many people.

This made everyone very confused.

Even if Jin Yiwei transferred some people to leave the capital, it should not be left empty-handed.

Yan Jue glanced at everyone, his figure moved, and he stepped forward to greet them.

Nowadays, Yan Jue has reached the sixth level of master, and has practiced many Shaolin martial arts, and his strength is already extraordinary.

Suddenly a palm fell.

The terrifying vitality of heaven and earth swept over and formed a majestic palm print.

——The Palm of Great Mercy and Compassion!

The bright golden palm print exudes an aura as strong as a mountain.

Feeling the power of this palm, everyone standing in the courtyard looked shocked.

"Hide quickly!"

One person yelled quickly, his face full of shock and anger.

boom!

A terrifying palm fell in the courtyard, and immediately blood spattered and gravel flew.

The bodies of seven or eight people were shattered by this palm strike.

The moment he landed, Yan Jue stepped down again, suddenly moved forward, spanned five or six feet, and slashed at everyone around him with his sword.

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The sword light flashes!

In just half a stick of incense, hundreds of people were slaughtered.
