Zheng Yangxing's rebels stormed into the Meridian Gate, and Huangjimen was the first among them.
There are no guards here anymore, just hundreds of corpses of Jin Yiwei.
"This is the defender who just blocked us at the Meridian Gate!"
"They are all dead, the guards are all dead!"
Although Zheng Yangxing feels a little strange, it is a good thing for him~
What I was most worried about when I entered the palace was that there were guards and defenders everywhere, and I was besieged.
It's so smooth now, hundreds of defenders died here, some were killed by bombings, and some were executed.
Zheng Yangxing was ecstatic and encouraged loudly: "Emperor Taichang has passed away! The defenders are already fighting among themselves! The sky really has eyes!"
"The sky has eyes! The King of Blessing will be here!" the rebels shouted slogans, and their morale became even higher.
"Follow me into the Qianqing Palace and the Cining Palace to welcome my aunt, announce the imperial edict, and welcome King Fu!"
"Okay!"
The rebels were in high spirits, and passed through the three ruined and unrepaired palaces, heading straight to the Qianqing Palace.
The result was all in vain.
"There is no one in Qianqing Palace!?"
Where is His Majesty who died of illness? Where is the crying concubine? Where is the serving maid?
Qianqing Palace was actually empty.
Zheng Yangxing frowned, feeling that something was wrong. Emperor Taichang had been seriously ill for a long time, and the news in the palace said that he was about to die of illness.
The seriously ill Taichang disappeared from the Qianqing Palace?
There is no one in the whole palace, can you say?
I don’t have time to think so much.
"Hurry to Cining Palace and find my aunt! Hurry to welcome the Queen Mother and ask her where the emperor and the prince are."
......
Zhu Chunchen asked half of the servants to act alone, which happened to be observed by Huang Kezuan's people.
The Jin Yiwei who were hiding in the Beihai Temple found that they had extinguished most of the torches, quickly detoured along the Beihai, and immediately reported to Huang Kezuan who was stationed at Xuanwu Gate.
"Most of the soldiers and horses went south to Xihuamen, and some elites went north?"
He quickly checked the map of the imperial city. Although Beihai is not small, you can go around it from the north and get to Meishan and the imperial palace.
The prince asked me to guard the Xuanwu Gate at the north gate. It turned out that I was specifically on guard against this move.
The eunuch Wei Zhongxian, the Royal Horse Supervisor, is also at Shenwumen, and the soldiers and horses of Tengxiang's four guards have also gathered here to wait for the next order.
Wei Zhongxian is skilled in bow and horse and loyal, but this is his first time fighting, so he will inevitably be a little nervous at this time.
Huang Kezuan had extremely profound experience. He chatted with him at this time and praised the prince for being young but having the confidence and calmness of a commander-in-chief like a military god.
"When the rebels enter the palace, anyone would be nervous, and they might add more troops to their side. Instead, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince put elite troops on standby to play a decisive role in determining the overall situation at critical moments.
I have a hunch that maybe in the future he will be like the great ancestors and emperors, whose martial arts and martial arts are astonishing to the past and present."
Wei Zhongxian also followed up and said: "The royal family of the Ming Dynasty has become a blockbuster even if it doesn't make a sound. I am also lucky to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
"The chief assistant is here."
Fang Conzhe came out of the Xuanwu Gate gate tower and saw Huang Kezuan and Wei Zhongxian leading their troops to guard here.
"You two, we have the latest edict."
Huang Kezuan and Wei Zhongxian immediately became serious and listened to the latest edict brought by Fang Congzhe.
"The edict ordered Wei Zhongxian to lead Tengxiang's left guard and enter the palace to supervise the Beijing camp to quell the thieves. Huang Kezuan led Tengxiang's right guard from outside the palace to Xihua Gate, crossed the South China Sea, and controlled Zhonghai back to Xi'an Gate. Fang Congzhe and Wu Xiang were on the left and right of the guard.
Abandon Meishan and all garrison Xuanwumen."
"Obey!"
It’s finally time to take action.
Fang Congzhe, Huang Kezuan and Wei Zhongxian each led the troops to act in accordance with the order.
Especially the Tengxiang left guard, although there are only 1,000 people now, but through the propaganda and organization of the giant system, the whole army's support for Zhu Youxiao is higher than that of the other three guards.
Therefore, they are the ones who carry out the most complex and important task - entering the palace to govern the capital and kill the thieves.
"Supervise the battle in the capital and kill the rebels!" Sun Yingyuan, a wealthy man from a thousand households, raised his voice to encourage everyone.
"Supervise the battle in the capital camp and kill the rebels!!!" Tengxiang Zuowei, a thousand men, roared in unison.
Although Sun Yingyuan was just a small bannerman, and the identity of this powerful man with thousands of households had nothing to do with the command structure, Wei Gong recognized that the prince personally led the army as the chief prince, and the army's lieutenants, generals and soldiers also recognized their slogans and took the lead in responding.
"We have received news that the Beijing camp has entered the palace from Xihua Gate. Follow our family and quickly urge them to recover the Meridian Gate and Huangji Gate!"
Wei Zhongxian was in pretty good shape, and he shouted to inform his troops of their targets while running.
The leader of a hundred households who rushed to the front, Shi Chang Zhou Yuji, was tall and mighty, energetic and vigorous. He led the troops from the front, and the whole army felt particularly energetic.
Old Wei led the way from the palace and soon arrived at Cining Palace on the west side, where he happened to meet Jingying.
"Quick! Go and catch the Zheng witch!"
The large number of Beijing soldiers were very fast. As soon as they followed Zhu Chunchen into the Xihua Gate, they did not go to the straight Huangji Gate, but instead headed towards the nearest larger palace, Cining Palace.
How terrible it is to fight against the rebels, but also to pretend to attack the Huangji Gate and the Meridian Gate.
It's great to catch the witch Zheng, and you can also collect the stolen goods in the palace for yourself.
Zhu Chunchen simply indulged himself. Anyway, the rebels would go to Cining Palace to find Concubine Zheng, and let Jingying and Zheng Yangxing fight. His 1,500 direct servants would preserve their strength so that they could make the next plan.
I rushed into Cining Palace and saw no one.
So what, let’s do a search first and shout to arrest the hiding person, and we’ll just get it.
"Here is a jade~"
"This is expensive women's clothing~"
The people in Jingying are very knowledgeable, and they saw a lot of valuable things at once. Anyway, Zhu Chunchen had something in his mind and asked Jingying to let everyone take whatever he dared not do.
"Boom!"
Explosion~
Just reach out and pull to trigger the bomb.
"Run!"
Someone tripped over something while running away.
"Boom!"
Exploded again~
Explosions kept happening in Cining Palace, and everyone in the Beijing camp was in a panic.
When Teng Xiang Zuowei arrived, he saw such a scene.
"There is an explosion! Cining Palace has arrived! Welcome Empress Zheng as the Queen Mother!"
At this time, the rebels also happened to come from the east direction of Qianqing Palace.
Tengxiang's left guard is in the north, and Zheng Yangxing's rebels are in the east.
The Beijing camp is inside Cining Palace, sandwiched in the middle~
"Kill! Kill Jingying and welcome Empress Dowager Zheng!!!" Zheng Yangxing had already gone crazy and was not afraid at all when he saw Jingying.
Jingying is afraid.
It was an encounter, and there was no formation at all. We were also hit by landmines and booby traps, and people were panicked and collapsed at the first touch.
Just run away from Jingying.
"Ahhh! Run!"
"Prince Royal Guard, please save us!"
Wei Zhongxian and Zhou Yuji directly led people to block the escape route of the Beijing camp.
Sun Yingyuan shouted loudly: "Brothers from Jingying! The prince supervises the country's edict and kills the thieves with all his strength! Tengxiang Zuowei supervises the battle and assists!" General Tengxiang Zuowei gave orders to the Jingying camp in the palace.
There is no escape to the north.
South and west.
Duke Cheng Guo led 1,500 servants and blocked the road with all their weapons.
"I came here to kill the enemy when I entered the palace. There is no reason to retreat! Turn around and kill the enemy!"
Jingying has no choice but to fight Zheng Yangxing.
