After killing Li Zeng and Jiang Han, He Jin and others took the opportunity to bow to the ground and said, "The Ming Dynasty has been in full swing for 120 years, but today the number has changed. The traitors have spread to the court, and the soldiers, people and the people of the world are unable to bear the suffering. The country is in danger. Please ask Your Highness to obey the will of heaven and save the people from water and fire."

Zhu Zhili stood up slowly, and his gentle face had a more compelling momentum at this time, saying: "Come, besiege the officials in the city, and use the king's edict to inform the towns that those who follow it will live and those who go against it will die. Zhou Dongdu was a central official who did the wrong deeds. His crimes were too numerous to be written, and he ordered people to kill them..."

Speaking of this, Zhu Zhili's eyes were faint and finally said: "The official Ye Chunqiu led people to camp the Tianlang Castle. He Jin, I will order you to surround the Tianlang Castle to fight against the thief, capture and kill Ye Chunqiu, and kill without mercy."

He suddenly sneered: "I'll send an edict everywhere, and the proclamation should state that all officials in Ningxia, who do not surrender, will be killed. The central officials, Zhou Dongdu, Ye Jing, and Ye Chunqiu, have all been killed. If anyone disobeys the will of heaven, these three will be their fate."

His eyes glanced at the people in the hall, and everyone was so arrogant that they dared not show off. Only the local county magistrate Yang Du stood up and said sternly: "Your Highness is a mantis blocking the chariot, the mayfly shake the tree, and when the imperial court's heavenly soldiers arrive..."

“Bold.”

Zhu Zhili thought, but now, someone dared to stand up and oppose him. He glared at the small county magistrate, and several guards had rushed forward. The "General of the Thieves" He Jin slapped him hard in the face like a palm-shaped fan.

With a bang, Yang Du's face was instantly covered with blood. He Jin smiled grimly and said, "You are still stubborn when you die. If you are willing to surrender, your Highness will be willing to worship you as the Minister of the House. If you do not surrender, you will kill all your family."

Yang Du said sternly: "It's just a death. I eat the king's fortune and I have the responsibility to defend the territory. I dare not follow the thief."

"Who is the thief!" He Jin was furious and grabbed his clothes.

Yang Du laughed and said, "Like Zhu Zhili, like you, you are all thieves, and you dare not follow each other, and you only wish to die."

He Jin was already furious when he was slaughtered. He drew his sword and cut him into two pieces. For a moment, blood splattered everywhere, and exclaimed everywhere, and Yang Du was already dead.

Zhu Zhili looked at the small county magistrate's body gloomy. Although he relieved his hatred, he couldn't help but feel angry. He said indifferently: "Who else, who else?"

"The emperor, Ningxia, is willing to die."

"The officials dare not follow each other and are willing to die."

"The emperor is willing to die!"

For a moment, more than a dozen people stood up. Although some people were so scared that they were trembling, they still trembled with helpless expressions: "The officials are afraid of death, and are even more afraid of being thieves. They are willing to be killed. I hope your highness will be fulfilled."

Zhu Zhili was stunned.

Many of the people present were familiar faces, and many of them even complained to him and were dissatisfied with the court. He always thought that as long as he raised his arms and shouted, these people would definitely be the pioneers of the king, but they never expected it...

Suddenly, Zhu Zhili felt that he had calculated something wrong. His face was gloomy and he was calm just now, but now he was obviously a little angry and embarrassed. He pursed his lips, and there was a cold voice in his voice, saying, "This is good... How can I not do it? Come, kill them all, and kill them all!"

The proclamation of the siege had already come out, and countless chaotic troops rushed into various offices. Zhou Dongdu was killed. The imperial envoy left the corpses in the headquarters, and the sound of breaking into the doors everywhere. Ningxia was in chaos. Countless horses rushed to various places to spread the proclamation. Zhou Dongdu was executed, Ye Jing was executed, Ye Chunqiu was executed, and the general officer Jiang Han and the eunuch Li Zeng were executed.

King Anhua had issued a king's order to block the ferry of the Yellow River, sent troops to strengthen their defense against Guanzhong, and then issued an edict to various vassals to discuss Zhu Houzhao's crimes and threaten to condemn them.

In Ningxia City, a large army came out in full swing. The general He Jin, the general who fought against the thieves, personally raised the troops and began his first battle.

The execution of the middle-aged officials Ye Chunqiu and Ye Jing was just to boost morale. It is said that Ye Chunqiu was valued by the emperor. If this news was spread to the court at this time, it would definitely greatly damage the court's confidence. However, He Jin knew that the father and son were in the Tianlang Castle, and the attack on the Tianlang Castle and killing all the people in the castle was his first tough battle.

Although... there are only five or six hundred people in the fort, and I personally raised the army, it was quite unfair to win, but the Sky Wolf Castle is outside Ningxia City, only a few miles away. If this stronghold is not removed for a day, it would be like a thorn in the throat of the entire Ningxia rebels, so it would naturally be better to kill it as soon as possible.

Before tonight, the city will be broken. After the city is broken, His Highness Anhua can drive troops eastward and take over Guanzhong in one fell swoop. That is the capital of the king and domineering.

…………………………………

A fire that had soared into the sky was already lit in Ningxia City. The guards on the whistle tower quickly informed Ye Chunqiu. Ye Chunqiu climbed up the whistle tower and watched the smoke and dust rolling in the city, he had no expression on his face, but he knew that things in history had finally happened.

These rebel soldiers who were angry with the court more than the foreign enemies were finally determined under the influence of King Anhua.

Ye Chunqiu seemed very calm. In fact, there was nothing he could do if he was not calm. He hurriedly got down the wardrobe and saw Wang Shouren coming towards him. Ye Chunqiu looked at Wang Shouren and just said, "Stay here!"

Wang Shouren nodded: "As for the order. But... there is not much food and grass in the city..."

"Can you last for a day?" Ye Chunqiu said.

“Three or four days are enough.”

"It'll be fine one day." Ye Chunqiu smiled, but the smile was a bit self-deprecating. How could he laugh at this time? Even though he was still alive, there were countless people here about to be killed.

Ye Chunqiu looked at Wang Shouren and continued: "We not only want to survive, but also save people, so one day is enough."

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, then said, "Chunqiu, what is this? Are you trying to save those military households? There are indeed some military households outside the city, but they may not be the soldiers. Even if they are not traitors, open the door and let them in... I'm afraid we..."
