Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Linyi State is deeply influenced by Indian culture. The country uses Tianzhu script and believes in Brahmanism. In addition, Linyi people have high noses, deep eyes, and black and curly hair. They look very similar to Indians, so this place can almost be regarded as an Indian race.  branch.

    However, Linyi State was close to the Tang Dynasty and was also influenced by the civilization of the Tang Dynasty. For example, in terms of architecture, Linyi City, the capital of the country, was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. The layout of the city was square and square, and the royal palace was located on the central axis of the entire city.  If you look down from a high altitude, Linyi City is simply a smaller version of Chang'an City.

    On the west side of the palace is the mansion where Mahamandoka lives alone. This mansion covers a huge area. Although it is not as large as the palace, it is not much different. It is even more luxurious than the palace in some aspects.

    It is now the second watch, and the city of Linyi has already been dark, but the mansion of Mahamando Kadu is still brightly lit as before.  Everyone in Linyi City knows that Lord Maha, who is the real power in the country, likes night banquets. Every night, he invites some people to the mansion to enjoy singing and dancing. Sometimes even the king will participate, and he does not disperse until nearly the fourth watch. So  Today's situation did not attract anyone's attention.

    But today, all the confidants of Mahamando Kadu came, and instead of enjoying the singing and dancing in the hall, they were all summoned to a secret room. This would be their last gathering before the incident.

    "Sir, the eight gates in the city, except for the two north gates behind the palace, the other six gates are already under the control of the general. As long as the master gives the order, the general will immediately close the gates. Anyone  No one is allowed in or out!" A middle-aged general wearing a Tang Dynasty Guangming armor stood up and said.  He was the gatekeeper of Linyi City and a confidant of Mahamadokadu.  Now we have mastered the city gates on the south, east and west.

    Mahamandoka nodded with satisfaction after listening alone and said: "Yes, you go back immediately and seal the city gate. No one is allowed in or out, especially the troops stationed outside the city. They must not let in a single soldier!"

    "General, I obey!" the middle-aged general loudly accepted the order, then turned around and strode out to prepare.

    At this time, Mahamandokadu asked a general on his right: "General Yitai, you are the main force in attacking the palace this time. Have all the troops entered the city?"

    "Don't worry, sir, my soldiers have quietly entered the city after sunset. They are now ambushing around the palace and can take action at any time!" General Yitai is a veteran in his fifties.  He held an elite force of five thousand men, usually stationed outside the city, but this time he was secretly transferred into the city by Mahamando Kadu as the main force to attack the palace.  It is also worth mentioning that the armor weapons Yang Jiu and the others transported were mainly to equip his troops.

    Hearing that there was no problem with this main force, Mahamadoka was a little more confident, and then issued orders to several other armies. As a result, these generals had no objections.  Everything went according to their original plan.

    Although Yang Jiu is not a subordinate of Mahamando Kadu, he is the other party's biggest sponsor, so he also participated in the meeting this time, but he did not have the right to speak.  He has been sitting quietly behind Mahamando Kadu.  However, when Yang Jiu heard the other party handing down orders one after another, an elusive sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

    Mahamadokadu¡¯s rebellion plan was as follows: he transferred the troops from outside the city into the city and then sealed the city gates.  No one is allowed to go out.  Then he used 5,000 troops to attack the palace and captured King Fan Zhenlong in one fell swoop.  Force the other party to give up the throne to themselves.  This plan is very simple and very effective.  However, it is not without its shortcomings.

    For example, among the eight gates of Linyi City, the two in the north are connected to the royal palace, and the troops loyal to the royal family are stationed outside the gates. No matter how long Mahamandokadu's hand is, he cannot reach out and control it.  Those two city gates.  In this way, a problem arises, that is, if their army cannot break through the palace in a short period of time, then Fan Zhenlong will be allowed to escape from the north gate controlled by the palace. As long as Fan Zhenlong is not caught, then Maha slowly  Duojiadu's plan has failed.

    However, according to Yang Jiu's plan, Fan Zhenlong will not be seen escaping. After all, in the follow-up plan, no one from the Fan family must be left behind, otherwise it may not be Fan Zhene's turn to clean up the mess in the end.  superior.

    It is precisely because of this that Yang Jiu informed Li Min that he wanted two blasting tubes and eight boxes of grenades for Mahamandoga. With these firearms, they could break through the palace gate as quickly as possible.  Then Fan Zhenlong was captured. As for the other royal family members, they were already under Mahamandokadu's control and could be arrested at any time.

    With Mahamando Kadu¡¯s order, there were fewer and fewer people in the secret room, and everyone¡¯s tasks were finally assigned, andAt this time, only Yang Jiu and Mahamandoka were left in the secret room.

    "Mr. Yang, do you think I can succeed this time?" Mahamandoga changed his confident look before and asked Yang Jiu with some worries about gains and losses.

    "Don't worry, Lord Maha. You have been preparing for today for several years, and almost the entire Linyi City is under your control. If you still can't succeed, I'm afraid no one in the world can succeed!" Yang Jiu  He smiled again and cheered the other person up.  However, he did not underestimate Mahamando Kadu because of this. After all, no matter who it was, he would probably be a little uneasy at such a critical moment.

    Mahamanduojia heard Yang Jiu's relief, and finally felt a little calmer. In fact, he also knew that since he had come to this step, he had to go on no matter what, otherwise he would just follow him.  Neither will agree.

    It was only the third watch, and there was still some time before the final action. However, Mahamando Jiadu and Yang Jiu did not go to rest. They were sitting in the secret room, waiting for the last moment to come.

    In this way, until the fifth watch, a confidant ran into the secret room and reported respectfully to Mahamandoka: "Master, it is already the fifth watch, and the five hundred warriors in the mansion have been prepared.  I¡¯m waiting for your order, Master!¡±

    "Light the fire, move!" Mahamandoka ordered in a very low voice without even raising his head.

    "Yes!" The confidant received the order, and a look of excitement flashed on his face.  I saw him running outside quickly to convey Mahamandokadu's order. As a result, a moment later, a fire suddenly rose into the sky in a house on the westernmost side of Mahamandokadu's mansion.  The fire was so fierce that it lit up almost half of the sky in Linyi City.

    "It's too late~ It's too late~"

    Several confidants who had been prepared in advance immediately started shouting, which caused chaos in the entire Mahamandoka's house. After all, only a few of his confidants knew about Mahamandoka's rebellion. As for his house,  The superiors and subordinates did not know this at all, let alone Mahamandokadu's plan.  Therefore, when they saw the fire, they ran around in fear. Several stewards called to the police and organized people to put out the fire.  It's a pity that this fire was lit by humans and will not be extinguished for a while.

    When the fire lit up, the only party of Mahamadoka in Linyi City saw this predetermined code, and immediately took action. All the major city gates were controlled by others, and no one was allowed to enter or exit, so they set up an ambush.  General Yitai who was around the palace also led 5,000 people to kill the palace. At the same time, the 500 warriors in Mahamandoka Dufu also took advantage of the chaos to leave the palace and disappeared in the night.

    However, no one discovered that during the chaos in Mahamanduojia's mansion, it was not only the five hundred warriors who disappeared, but also dozens of servants who came with Yang Jiu also disappeared. It was a pity that the mansion at that time  Xanadu was busy putting out the fire, and no one noticed them at all.

    Mahamandoka was the most powerful official in Linyi. A sudden fire broke out in his house, which naturally attracted the attention of many people. But at this moment, there was a loud bang in the direction of the main entrance of the palace, followed by a burst of fire.  The cry of killing was heard, and the fire in front of the palace gate shot into the sky, covering up the fire in Mahamandoka's mansion.

    Linyi City has been at peace for a long time. Except for the Sui State who conquered the capital decades ago, no one can threaten Linyi City anymore.  In addition, tens of thousands of troops were stationed outside the city, so the defenders in the palace never dreamed that someone would come directly to the palace.  And Yitai is a veteran on the battlefield with rich combat experience. He first asked his men to quietly touch the front door of the palace, then put a blasting tube into the city gate hole, and then detonated it. As a result, the palace door was blown open in one fell swoop.

    Seeing that the blasting tube was so useful, General Yitai and his soldiers were very excited. They roared and rushed into the palace. There were only a thousand standing guards in the palace, and they were scattered throughout the palace. They could not block it at all.  Yitai and his five thousand elites could not stay, so they successfully entered the inner palace and captured King Fan Zhenlong from the palace.

    There were originally two thousand palace guards stationed at the two city gates in the north, but they had no time to react. When they learned that someone was entering the palace, they had just ordered their troops, but they were already informed that the king had been captured.  , being thrown into a trap, they had no choice but to lay down their weapons and surrender to the other side.

    After learning that the palace was controlled by General Yitai and successfully capturing Fan Zhenlong, Mahamandoka who stayed in the mansion just laughed. In his opinion, capturing Fan Zhenlong was the key to the success of this operation.  Now that the other party is finally in his hands, his rebellion can almost be said to be half done.

    On the other hand, the five hundred warriors who quietly came out of Mahamandoka's mansion rushed to the east side of the palace as quickly as possible. This was a land that was only inferior to the palace.It is a complex complex of buildings and covers a huge area, which is not even comparable to Mahamando Kadu's mansion, and this is the other half of the key to the success of his rebellion.
