After rebirth, I became a national teacher

Emperor Yongan shouted anxiously.

After that, he instructed Meng Bin:

"Send a message to the South Gate immediately and have them mobilize 30,000 imperial guards to suppress the rioters and help the elite imperial guards in the palace escape. After I withdraw from the capital, have them return to the South Gate to defend against the rebels!"

The Du'e Army has already reached Shuntian Prefecture and will soon arrive at the foot of the capital.

He must leave enough imperial guards to hold back the Du'e Army, so that he can retreat to the sea smoothly with his elite troops.

"Go and call the Second Prince and his wet nurse to the Palace of Heavenly Purity."

The eldest prince’s life or death is unknown now, and the second prince is his only son, so he must take him away.

"Go to Chengsu Palace and ask Pei Xuan to come to Qianqing Palace as well."

This is the biological son of the evil demon Du'e, and he must keep him under control in case of emergency.

After issuing a series of orders, Emperor Yong'an finally breathed a sigh of relief. He asked the imperial physician to bring him a bowl of medicine and drank it, while he waited in the Qianqing Palace for people to arrive.

At this time, at the gate of Shenwu Gate, more than 10,000 people from Beijing were holding sticks, spatulas, butcher knives, kitchen knives and other weapons, blocking the Shenwu Gate and the nearby corner gates tightly.

The people shouted in anger:

"The tyrant king has wronged the God and must apologize to the God!"

"You are a tyrant, cruel and stupid, unworthy of being an emperor. Immediately abdicate to the Divine Lord!"

"Call that tyrant out!"

"The tyrant king apologizes to the God!"

"The tyrant emperor abdicated to the God!"

The imperial guards guarding the palace were trembling with fear when faced with a civilian population that outnumbered them by several times.

"You are so bold and unruly! How can you trespass into the forbidden area of ​​the imperial palace? Disperse immediately, or I will kill you without mercy!"

The young general of the imperial guards closed the city gates tightly and shouted angrily to the people below.

The archers aimed their arrows at the people below.

"Retreat! Everyone retreat a hundred steps away!"

Among the people, a man on horseback shouted loudly.

The people immediately retreated a hundred steps, out of the range of the arrows.

Then, the sound of wheels was heard and the people made way for a path.

Four horses came forward, pulling a cart covered with a red cloth.

The accompanying men dressed in tight clothes lifted the red cloth, and the black gun barrel was immediately revealed.

This is a cannon!

Behind that horse-drawn carriage, there were at least a dozen other carriages also covered with red cloth, which also looked like cannons.

The young general of the imperial guards on the city wall was horrified.

"How come they have so many cannons!"

However, before he could figure out what was going on, he saw people at the foot of the city quickly stuffing a cannonball larger than a Cuju into the loading port.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

The young imperial guard on the city wall shouted loudly.

"shooting!"

At the foot of the city wall, the leader of the people on horseback shouted orders.

As the torches were lit, the shells whizzed out and landed on the city walls, making a huge roar.

The power of this shell, both the sound of the explosion and the hole it created on the city wall, was far greater than what they had used in the past.

The young general of the imperial guards didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't find anyone to explain it to him.

Five cannonballs were fired in quick succession, and then a strong man in tight clothes rode up to within twenty paces and shouted to the tower with a resounding voice:

"My fellow Imperial Guards, the army under the command of Lord Du'e has already reached the outskirts of the capital. There is really no need for you to sacrifice your lives for the tyrant!"

"God is merciful. Those who surrender will not be killed! I will give you a moment to think about it. Open the city gate. Then you will also have a share of the credit for capturing the tyrant!"

"If you persist, we will have no choice but to use this powerful new cannon to kill you all!"

The imperial guards in the city had no artillery reserves.

The long row of cannons off the field undoubtedly posed a huge threat to the imperial guards on the city wall.

After all, the imperial city is just the inner city. It is not as thick and solid as the walls of the capital city, and cannot withstand random cannon bombardments.

The imperial guards on the city wall were a little shaken for a moment.

The situation like that at Shenwu Gate was happening at almost every gate in the imperial city.
