Fengyang Mansion, Chang Huaiwei.

When Li Shaoyou led the 3,000 Royal Cavalry Regiment to the Changhuai Guards, the Jinyi Guards' internal agents had already taken control of the city gates and captured thousands of households guarding the city.

The city gate was slowly opened, and a torrent of cavalry poured into the city, frightening the captured Changhuai Guard Qianhu and several hundreds of families half to death.

The cavalrymen in front of them were all tall and strong, all wearing fine red tassel helmets, and the thick black armor on their bodies was cold and terrifying. The sergeants who stared at them with bull's eyes made people tremble when they looked at them.

Several generals of the guard sighed in their hearts, they were worthy of the crown prince's men. The equipment of an ordinary cavalry could match that of a fifth- and sixth-grade general like themselves.

While several generals were feeling chilled, the general flag and guard soldiers were not much better. They were all trembling with fear. Fortunately, they were captured and opened the city gate. If they were killed by this gang, these ferocious cavalry would not be able to do anything.

If they do, they will kill them.

Li Shaoyou led his troops straight into the city without stopping. A large group of Royal Cavalry rushed in from the city gate. They marched in neat rows, their iron hooves hitting the bluestone streets, making a neat roar.

The thunder of the horses' hooves was extremely oppressive. Some landowners and evil gentry who were causing trouble in the street stared blankly at these cavalrymen who seemed to be in no one's land, wondering what was going on.

The people in the city hid in their homes in fear, staring blankly outside through the cracks in the doors and windows.

"According to the decree of the Crown Prince, the Tianwu Army has taken over the Chang Huai Guard. People do not need to panic!"

The soldiers of Changhuai Guard were confused. Why did the Tianwu Army come to the city and enter the city directly? Which thief opened the city gate?

"What should we do..." Some of the gentry and businessmen who were watching the show in their attics looked extremely nervous, feeling that things were getting a bit big.

"Kill them! They are here to rob our land!" A big landlord shouted loudly, calling on his servants and private soldiers to fight against them.

"Let's get rid of them together and protect our property!" someone responded immediately.

A servant asked weakly: "Master, will these military masters kill us with knives?"

The wealthy landlord laughed and said: "I heard that the Crown Prince's army does not kill the common people. Anyone who does it will be executed by military law. Just beat him! Beat him to death! I will reward you with ten taels of silver for killing an old man!"

"Huh? There are such soldiers?" The servant chuckled and rushed forward with a spear, trying to knock down a cavalryman.

Li Shaoyou said coldly: "Those armed with weapons, kill! Those who attack our troops, kill!"

Li Shaoyou rode forward and shot a landlord's servant who rushed up, and then shot the landlord away who was shouting.

The cavalry behind him, armed with cold spears, also began to ruthlessly kill the resisting officials, gentry and landlords in the city.

"What's going on? Didn't the master say that these military lords don't kill ordinary people? Why..." a servant said blankly.

"Master himself is feeling cold, let's run quickly!"

Another servant with keen eyesight quickly dropped the weapon in his hand, found the key to the vault from the master lying on the ground, and then ran back to the house to start packing up the valuables, and by the way abducted the master's new concubine.

When some other trouble-making landlords and gentry saw that the Tianwu Army started killing people, they immediately became a mess crying for their fathers and mothers and ran away for their lives. After returning home, they closed the doors of their houses tightly.

The commander of the Changhuai Guard had already arrived with his servants and guardsmen, as well as some improvised servants from landlords. A group of servants in messy uniforms had no discipline at all and were cursing and cursing.

The commander of Changhuai Guard shouted: "After retreating from the enemy, each person will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and a hundred acres of fertile land!"

After hearing this, the soldiers and servants cheered and made noise for a while, but when he saw the Tianwu Army's men and horses, he regretted it again. Damn, why are there so many people! What a slap in the face!

Regardless of what the other party thought, Li Shaoyou directly ordered the troops to be defeated with thunderous force, and completed the mission in a short time before returning to deliver the report.

"kill!"

The iron streams carrying endless killing energy rushed towards the enemy. Some guardsmen and servants were stunned by the terrifying momentum in front of them, and their legs were weak from fear.

"Run! We're killing people!" A guard soldier dropped his weapon and ran away.

Several weapons fell to the ground and made a crisp sound that woke everyone up. With a bang, the guard soldiers and servants who had just gathered collectively collapsed and began to run away in all directions. Some of them were so frightened that their legs were weak and they had already collapsed.

The ground surrendered.

The commander of the Changhuai Guard shouted at the top of his lungs, but no one listened to him. This made him very depressed. He usually bullied the people one by one with ferocious somersaults like a tiger, but now he suddenly fainted...

.

He had no choice but to run away.

The iron hoofs struck the hard ground, making a dull sound, like a deadly drumbeat that made people's heartbeats beat. Li Shaoyou led the men and horses to pursue them hard. He wanted this group of rebels to know that the only consequences for daring to provoke the crown prince were

One, that is death!

In the Changhuai Guards, the Royal Knights began a ruthless pursuit, mainly targeting the officers and soldiers of the guard station who were mainly wearing mandarin duck jackets. Along the way, they also casually stabbed servants with weapons in their hands.

The defeated guardsmen had no combat effectiveness at all, leaving only corpses and bloodstains along the way.

Li Shaoyou's voice sounded in the city: "Continue to clean up the troublemakers in the city. All those who participated in the troubles will have their homes confiscated and confiscated!"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After two days of quelling the chaos, the Eight Guards and the First Guard were all controlled by the Tianwu Army. Thousands of guardsmen were wiped out. Officials, gentry and landlords even killed a large number of them, and confiscated countless fields and property.

Zhu Cixang issued an order that all civil officials above the prefecture level and military generals above the fourth rank of each guard in Nanzhili should go to Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum within three days. Those who were late or did not come would be dismissed from their posts, and the military generals in various camps would continue to guard their respective places.

Strictly prevent rogue bandits from invading the country.

On the third day, hundreds of civil and military officers from South Zhili all entered the Fengtian Hall in Forbidden Wall to see their leader. Officials on both sides lined up outside the main hall door. These local dignitaries of the third and fourth grades all stood respectfully.

Then, I don’t dare to exhale.

Zhu Cixiang glanced at Li Tingbiao who was standing aside and asked, "How is the situation in the Eighth Guards One?"

Li Tingbiao bowed and whispered: "Back to Your Highness, except for the Fengyang Central Guards commander who committed suicide, half of the other main generals of the guards were arrested. Including the civil servants from the five states and thirteen counties, in this operation, a total of nine-level civil and military officials were captured.

Six hundred and thirty-two people, more than 1,200 rebels."

Li Tingbiao continued: "Jinyiwei also discovered that the commander of the Eighth Guards had conspired with the bandits. The commander of Fengyang Right Guards can testify."

The commander of Fengyang Right Guards was the one who took the initiative to open the city and surrender that day. After the surrender, he had an excellent attitude of admitting his mistakes, and he also cooperated very well with Jin Yiwei's investigation. He was a worry-free person.

The entire Fengyang Mansion, both civil and military, was almost brought to a boil. The Crown Prince's cruel methods made the civil and military officials present feel shuddering. There was silence in the Fengtian Palace, and only Li Tingbiao's deep voice echoed in the hall.

Zhu Cixiang nodded and asked Li Tingbiao to review the charges of the arrested officials. He must not unjustly accuse a good person, let alone let a bad person go.

Subsequently, Zhu Cihong announced the appointment and dismissal of all officials in Fengyang Mansion.

Zhu Cixiang appointed Yang Tinglin as the acting magistrate of Fengyang Prefecture, and selected the supervisors of the Imperial College who had joined the Yongwei Camp that year as acting magistrates and acting county magistrates of thirteen counties in the five states based on their abilities. They would later be reported to the imperial court, and the official appointment would be issued by the Ministry of Personnel.

.

These civil and military officials in Southern Zhili were a little confused by the Crown Prince's operation. He mobilized officials from all over the country in such a big way, but he did not mention a word about the treatment of the officials who committed the crime. He only arranged some officials.
