Outside Datong City, 30,000 cavalrymen were waiting quietly. These were all elites who had just started building Yuan Gong. Each of them had at least 300 kilograms of strength and only brought five days of dry food and two horses.
"Boom~" The city gate opened, and more than a dozen generals came out: Yu Mian, Xu Dabai, Shan Zuo Danyou and others.
A black shadow appeared in the sky.
"Boom~" it fell straight to the ground, forming a big crater.
A moment later, Jiang Yuyan, wearing black armor and holding a halberd, stood in the air and looked down at everyone.
"The prince's secret order is for me to lead the troops to serve the emperor."
Jiang Yuyan raised her halberd and shouted: "Soldiers, be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister today!"
"Kill!" 30,000 elites roared in unison, with a sound that shook the heavens.
"Unless we defeat the enemy, we will never turn back!" The ethereal and resolute voice resounded in the ears of every soldier.
"Kill, kill, kill!" the sergeant roared again.
The sound echoed through the sky.
Military spirit is available!
Then, Jiang Yuyan mounted the tall black war horse next to her and turned the horse's head.
"Set off!"
"kill!"
No one noticed that there was a little yellow cat on the horse cooperating with the shovel, otherwise the horse would not be able to support the weight of the shovel's armor and spurge.
He really worried about this family.
...
Datong is more than 600 miles away from the capital. There are three passes in the middle. The most important one is Baoding. There are mountains on both sides and a gorge in the middle, blocking the only way.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen, each with three horses, changing horses without changing men, marched more than 300 miles in two days, approaching the Datong Pass.
Baoding Pass.
The generals on the city wall felt relieved when they saw that all the people coming were cavalry.
It's not his fault. Without siege machinery, not to mention 30,000 cavalry, even 100,000 would not be able to attack this impregnable pass.
"Boom~" The black cavalry came like a tide, and they still didn't stop when they reached the pass.
Until in front of the city gate, Jiang Yuyan raised his big halberd and split Huashan Mountain with force!
"Boom~" The huge city gate that could only be pushed by dozens of people was directly split open.
The eyes of the guards on the city wall widened.
"Boom~" Countless cavalrymen flowed away again, almost like a tide.
"General, do we want to pursue him?" the guard next to him prompted.
The general rolled his eyes at him: "Get out!"
Not to mention whether they can catch up, but they must be able to defeat them if they can catch up.
...
It's early in the morning.
Liu Xi arrived at the Fengfei Palace and said: "Mother, today is the enthronement ceremony. Officials from the Ministry of Rites have gone to the Temple of Heaven, Xiannong Altar, and Taimiao to inform the ancestors of the late emperor.
The bells and drums are ringing, please set out, your majesty, to offer sacrifices to heaven at the Tianmen Gate."
Jiang Yufeng slowly walked out holding Zhu Jianzhi, who was only two years old. Zhu Jianzhi was wearing a red dragon robe and uniform, while Queen Mother Jiang Yufeng was wearing a phoenix crown and a harem, and she was very elegant.
"Show off!" Jiang Yufeng ordered.
When the emperor and the queen mother travel, they naturally show great airs, and the emperor has his own guard of honor.
There are twelve dragon flags, divided into left and right sides, and twelve armored men.
The Beidou flag is one, the flag is in the front, the leopard tail is in the back, and there are three soldiers in each.
There are two tigers and leopards each, and six tame elephants, divided into left and right.
Sixty-four flags: gate flag, sun flag, moon flag, green dragon, white tiger, wind, cloud, thunder, rain, river, river, Huai, Ji flag, Tianma, Tianlu, Baize, Suzaku, Xuanwu and other flags,
The five-star flag of wood, fire, earth, metal and water, the Five Mountains flag, the bear flag, the Luan flag and the Twenty-Eight Constellations flag, each have six lines;
Each flag has five armored men, one holding the flag and four holding crossbows.
At that time, the bells and drums were sounded, and the emperor obeyed the Fengtian Gate.
The enthronement ceremony also officially began,
Under the guidance of officials from Honglu Temple, the civil and military officials passed the Jinshui Bridge and arrived at the Meridian Gate Square.
They knelt on both sides of the royal road in the style of Wen Dong and Wu Xi, waiting for the emperor to come down from Fengtian Gate after completing his sacrifice to heaven.
The officials kneeling on the ground were not very respectful at this time, and some were even winking at each other.
Zhou Shangshu gave Shangshu of the Ministry of War a look.
"Is the arrangement ready?"
The Secretary of the Ministry of War: "It's absolutely safe. Jiang Yuyan was still in Datong five days ago. We set up checkpoints at various checkpoints to intercept her. Even if she gets wings, she won't be able to come back!"
Zhou Shangshu nodded.
"Dang~" The melodious ringing of the bell rang, and Jiang Yufeng led the prince slowly down from Fengtian Gate.
According to the rules, the new emperor will follow the guard of honor and enter the Fengtian Hall to take his seat.
The ministers then filed in according to their rank and congratulated the new emperor. Then the eunuch in charge of ceremonies formally read out the edict to confirm the identity of the new emperor, and the new dynasty began.
"Boom~" Suddenly, an army entered the city gate and directly surrounded the civil and military officials. Then Fengtian Gate slowly closed.
Zhou Shangshu stood up slowly, pointed at Jiang Yufeng and shouted: "The witch has caused chaos in the country, confused the late emperor, and even poisoned the late emperor. Today we will bring order to the chaos and set the course for justice!"
"Come here, capture this mother and son!"
"Yes!" Dozens of soldiers immediately rushed towards the guard of honor.
"Let's see who dares!" Liu Xi came out and shook a dozen soldiers away with a wave of his hand, showing his impressive skills.
"Eunuch Liu, good birds choose trees to roost in. I advise you to take care of yourself!" Zhou Shangshu said gloomily, and waved his hand after speaking.
Four old masters appeared among the sergeants and came to greet him. These four men were actually able to compete with Liu Xi.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Shangshu was instantly satisfied, and then he winked at the other soldiers.
Jiang Yufeng stood in front of her son. There was great medicine in the palace, and her skills had improved significantly in the past few years, so she could barely resist for the time being.
But she knew she couldn't hold on for long.
Could it be that today is the day when their mother and son die?
Jiang Yuyan, why don’t you come?
Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Xi had no choice but to stand in front of Jiang Yufeng, with one hand behind his back, looking very strong.
"If you old immortals hurt Concubine Feng, be careful of Fairy Yuyan's revenge. Her skills have reached an unbelievable level!"
He said the most cowardly words.
The four old men looked at each other and continued to rush forward.
Let’s talk about the next thing later. Besides, as long as we are human, how can we oppose the imperial court? Can manpower be worth thousands of troops?
Zhou Shangshu, who was far away, looked at the sky and waved again. Another group of soldiers rushed over.
Hurry up, don't delay his grandson's ascension to the throne!
Even looking at the surrounding situation, Zhou Shangshu suddenly had a bold idea.
Can he ascend the throne himself and sit on the supreme throne of the emperor above millions of people?
Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
Sudden.
"Boom~" The thick Fengtian Gate exploded, and a flood of black cavalry rushed in. The original sergeant was disarmed with almost no resistance.
"Boom!" There was another loud noise, and a big halberd fell from the sky, directly in front of the four masters, knocking them away dozens of meters.
Then a black-armored general slowly fell from the sky. He stepped on the big halberd and stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at everyone.
When Zhou Shangshu saw this person, he was almost furious. His allies were useless to an extent that he could not imagine.
If you can't stop Jiang Yuyan, forget it. Not even a message has been sent back.
"Jiang Yuyan, without the order of the Ministry of War, as a border general, you mobilized troops back to Beijing without authorization. Do you want to rebel?" Zhou Shangshu scolded angrily.
Jiang Yuyan glanced away, and Zhou Shangshu seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer. He stepped back dozens of steps, hit the city wall and slowly fell to the ground.
He died peacefully with his eyes open.
Seeing this scene, all the officials suddenly fell into silence.
This is a murderer!
After a while, the situation was brought under control, and Jiang Yufeng quickly led her son behind Jiang Yuyan.
"Auntie, you are so awesome!" Zhu Jianzhi looked at Jiang Yuyan with admiration.
Jiang Yuyan lowered her head, looked at this tiny one, and suddenly felt a little soft-hearted.
Yu Mian in Black Rider directly gave Xu Dabai a color.
Xu Dabai hesitated for a moment, remembering the conversation Yu Mian had with him last night.
"General Xu, since ancient times, masters with great achievements have never had a good end, but what if King Yan becomes the master?
Following the merits of the dragon, being granted the title of marquis and worshiping the prime minister, we will see tomorrow.
When the time comes, I will ask Emperor Yan to grant you a marriage."
Thinking of that arrogant woman, Xu Dabai directly drew his bow and shot an arrow, aiming at Zhu Jianshen.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"
Experts also shot from several other places, and Yu Mian was obviously fully prepared.
Jiang Yuyan frowned and stopped all the arrow feathers with a wave of her hand. She was even more dissatisfied when she saw that the people who shot the arrows were all her subordinates.
Jiang Yufeng quickly pulled her son away and looked at Jiang Yuyan warily: "Sister, why are you doing this?"
Yu Mian walked out openly and knelt down: "May your Majesty, Emperor Yan, ascend the throne. Long live, long live, long live!"
Then people kept coming out and kneeling down.
In the end, the soldiers raised their guns and shouted: "Long live, long live!"
The sound soared into the sky.
The civil and military officials below also cleverly started to shout along.
Jiang Yuyan still stood with her hands behind her hands, silent.
Jiang Yufeng, who was standing next to him, looked at this scene in a panic. He took a few steps back with his son in his arms, his face full of despair.
With Jiang Yuyan ascending the throne, will mother and son still have a chance to survive? Also, if I trust my sister so much, why would she want to snatch the throne from her son?
At this time, someone among the civil servants stood up, pointed at Jiang Yuyan and cursed.
"Jiang Yuyan, what are you doing? Are you trying to usurp the throne?
The late Emperor has a wise eye and knows how to use you. He gives you the Shangfang Sword. It is an unconditional trust. If you betray me, it will be disloyal!
The Queen Mother is your sister, and the Emperor is your nephew. In times of crisis, I order you to come to Beijing to protect your family and country. If you usurp the throne, it would be unkind and unjust!
I heard that you once imprisoned your biological father, which was unfilial!
I, Li Xian, will be the first to refuse to accept the idea of an unfaithful, unfilial, benevolent and unjust person like you becoming emperor!"
"Whoosh~" Another bow and arrow shot at this person.
Jiang Yuyan waved her hand, and the bow and arrow stopped immediately. She glared at the man on the black horse, and the man vomited blood and fell to the ground, seriously injured.
If you don't obey, you will be punished.
"Young Master Gonggun, there is still a straight man. Zhu Qizhen is not a failure as emperor." Jiang Yuyan said with a smile.
"But when you said this, I became interested."
After speaking, Jiang Yuyan raised her hand, and a huge golden dragon flew down from the sky. It was so overwhelming that the sergeants and officials present sank. They couldn't bear it anymore and fell to their knees.
The golden dragon rushed into Jiang Yuyan's hand and turned into a jade seal.
Jiang Yuyan held the jade seal, her eyes exuding an ambition she had never seen before.
“If you receive orders from Heaven, you will live forever.
I am destiny!" A deep voice sounded in everyone's ears, deafening.
Li Xian still wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't lift himself up. It seemed like something heavy was pressing on him, making it difficult to breathe.
When he saw the golden dragon again, his eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this really destiny?
Yu Mian also found it difficult to get up at this time, but he was so blessed that he shouted: "Greetings to your Majesty!"
My mind and body were relaxed and I could finally breathe.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
After a while, a uniform voice sounded: "Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Yuyan looked around at the crowd and spoke slowly: "I am the Emperor of Yan, and I have changed the Yuan Dynasty to Letian. I have established Zhu Jianzhi as the crown prince, and I have appointed hundreds of officials in the court. My official positions remain unchanged."
After hearing this, all the officials breathed a sigh of relief. At least they didn't have to lose their heads for the time being, and they quickly kowtowed and stood in line.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Half an hour later, Fengtian Hall.
Under the watch of the black knights, and with all the officials sincerely paying homage, Jiang Yuyan stepped up step by step to the position that represented the supreme position in the world, and sat down.
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Jiang Yuyan raised her hand: "Everyone is safe!
I hereby promise to let go of the past, but if you have other intentions again, don’t blame Gu for being ruthless!"
"Also, Li Xian, since you don't agree with me taking this position, you should go home and recuperate. I won't kill you, but I will let you take a good look at how I can lead the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous age!"
"Yu Mian."
"yes."
"He was granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, commanded five thousand troops, and supervised hundreds of officials."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Li Xian turned his head, he couldn't believe hearing this name.
You must know that he was once a direct subordinate of Yu Qian. After Yu Qian's death, he personally killed the three senior officials who strongly demanded the death of Yu Qian. Unexpectedly, Yu Qian's son actually took the lead in the rebellion.
Yu Qian, if you know something, please take a look at your son!
"Xiao Yu'er, I will appoint the Minister of the Household Department, lead a thousand troops, and check the accounts of the Household Department."
"yes!"
"Xu Dabai was granted the title of Commander of the Beijing Guards. He led an army of three thousand and was in charge of the guards. They guarded the palace, guarded the city gates, and defended the capital."
"yes!"
…
One day later, Emperor Yan personally took over the battalion of the fifth division and prepared the Japanese soldiers. Holding a jade seal, he seemed to be in a deserted state among the thousands of troops. In the blink of an eye, he captured the generals and lieutenants alive, and promised to double the salary of the sergeants and divide the fields and silver.
The sergeants paid homage directly, and then the various military systems were broken up and led by the former frontier army generals.
Seven days later, the edict of Emperor Yan's succession was spread throughout the world, and Yuan Letian was changed, and the official positions of all prefectures and states remained unchanged. Suddenly the world was in an uproar, and war broke out soon.
Women in this world can do it, why can't they?
In the following year, Jiang Yuyan led 20,000 cavalrymen to more than 100 prefectures, and led troops to quell the rebellion with only 10,000 men, killing people like rivers of blood.
At the end of the second year of Lotte, the world suddenly became quiet.
This woman is so fierce, she is like the God of War descending to earth!
The second year of Lotte, Mid-Autumn Festival.
On the outskirts of the capital, all the people were looking forward to the arrival of Emperor Yan's chariot.
Later.
"Greetings to Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!" All the people bowed in admiration.
In the past year, in addition to fighting the war, Jiang Yuyan also did several other things, exempting herself from slavery and exempting herself from all miscellaneous taxes except land tax.
Those who started the rebellion were basically related to big families. After this year's war, it can be said that she has become fatter and fatter with each war, and there is no shortage of tax money.
From any wealthy family, she could get hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of property. Especially in the capital, if she was ruthless, she would probably add up to more than ten million taels.
This is the total tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty in the past few decades.
The aristocratic family is really the worm of the country!
Once the slave status and taxes were exempted, in many cases the peasants would behead the rebel leader before Jiang Yuyan even arrived.
Some places even have slogans: Make big households, divide the fields, follow Emperor Yan and you will not have to worry about food or clothing, and your son can still go to school!
It only took a year for the people to surrender, but the Ming Dynasty, which was originally at war, was stabilized by Jiang Yuyan, a reckless man.
Many people behind the scenes were dumbfounded, and then had no choice but to calm down and wait.
With so much tax exemption, Jiang Yuyan will definitely not be able to survive for long. They have a lot of patience!
