On the top of the city, Guo Song, who was guarding the city from a thousand households, stood lazily beside the battlements of the city tower, looking at the large number of cavalry rushing towards the city. He didn't care who came down from the city tower, he only knew that his duty was to guard the city.
Shengmen, don’t let anyone in or out.
As a member of the younger generation in the Jinyiwei Yamen, Guo Song was promoted to Qianhu for less than two months. He was known for his ferocity and brutality, and he was forced to join the Jinyiwei school captain.
Kill your head by hitting your head.
During the four or five years that Jiang Bin has been in charge of Jinyiwei, the ecology of Jinyiwei Yamen has been like this. Whoever has a strong fist, whoever has a vicious wrist, whoever is not afraid of death, whoever is willing to take his own life, will be able to stand out one day.
When Guo Song entered the Jinyiwei Yamen at the age of seventeen, it only took four years until he was appointed to the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu. Under normal circumstances, it would take eight years if not ten years for a school captain to be promoted to Qianhu.
One characteristic of the people in the Jinyiwei Yamen is that once they become Jinyiwei, they feel arrogant and feel that no one in the entire Ming Dynasty is worthy of respect. This is because they have seen too many officials fall from power.
Life is worse than death. It is also because they have many extra-legal rights that are not controlled by the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Because of this, they lack the fear of power and rarely admire the deeds of those legendary figures. The younger generation of Jinyiwei families believe that they are the future legends of the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, although Guo Song heard Zhang Yanling's name and knew a lot about the deeds of this man who was admired by everyone in the Ming Dynasty in the past ten years, this did not allow Guo Song to express his respect at this moment.
Instead, he thought that it would be the highlight of his life to prevent the Ming Dynasty King Jinghai from entering the city gate.

Huo Shijian at the bottom of the city called to the top of the city again, and Guo Song decided to respond.
"Everyone in the city, I'm sorry. Please forgive me for not opening the city gate to let you in, because this is an order. Starting from yesterday, all gates in the capital are prohibited from entering and exiting, and no one is allowed to violate it. So, please stop shouting,
I can't let you enter the city." Guo Song put his hands on his hips and shouted to everyone in the city.
Zhang Yanling rode his horse forward slowly, raised his head and shouted in a deep voice: "General, do you know who I am?"
Guo Song cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The famous uncle of the country, Prince Zhang of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty, how can you not recognize his humble position?"
Zhang Yanling nodded and said: "It's good that you know me. So what's your name? Whose subordinates are you? Whose troops are you?"
Guo Song said with a playful smile: "Your Majesty, your asking is in vain. It is impossible for you to be allowed to enter the city because of your humble position. The new emperor's enthronement ceremony is being held in the city today. Mr. Jiang has already issued a death order and no one is allowed to enter or leave the capital. To ensure that
The enthronement ceremony is in progress. Your Majesty, it is unfortunate that you have come back. Don't blame me, we are also following orders."
Zhang Yanling shouted: "The new emperor has ascended the throne, he is grand and upright. What are you doing behind closed doors? Is there anything shameful? Is the Lord Jiang you are talking about Jiang Bin? Hehe, this bastard can now show off his power, right?"
How dare he disobey my orders?"
Guo Song said loudly: "No matter what you say, I will not open this city gate unless Mr. Jiang comes to order it in person. So I'm sorry, Your Majesty."
Zhang Yanling nodded slightly and said softly: "It seems that if you don't eat the toast, you will have to drink as a penalty."
Zhang Yanling raised his head, glanced at everyone on the tower, and shouted in a deep voice: "All the captains and soldiers on the tower, please listen to me. I am Zhang Yanling, King Jinghai of the Ming Dynasty, governor of the Northern Expedition Army, deputy governor of the regiment, deputy governor of the water camp,
Governor of the Military Yamen. I don’t care whose order you received or whose permission you got. Now, I order you to open the city gate and let me enter the city. If you don’t obey my order..."

Zhang Yanling looked at the city with gloomy eyes, and said those four words solemnly: "Ge...kill...don't...discuss!"
The captains at the city head were silent. Not all of them were stupid and ignorant people. Many of them had been among the Jinyi Guards for many years. Regarding the officials of the Ming Dynasty, who could and who could not be provoked, I felt in my heart.
There is a scale for everyone.
Anyone with some age and experience will know what Zhang Yanling has done before. This person is one of the people who must not be messed with in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who messes with him will end badly. For example, Mou Bin, Liu Jin
.
"Hehehe. Your Majesty, even if you are the prince, you can only offend me because of your humble position today. I, Guo Song, am only following the orders of Commander Jiang. Want to enter the city? I'm afraid I can't. If the prince tries to force his way in, my sword is not very sharp."
Guo Song felt that he had been slighted and insulted, so he sneered loudly at the city.
At this moment, Guo Song felt that he was extremely handsome. Looking at the world, who dares to teach a prince a lesson like him? Although he is a small Qianhu, at this moment, he is like a righteous and stern general.
, not coerced by a powerful position.
After today, will you not be able to become famous all over the world?
Zhang Yanling didn't say much. He rode back and waved gently.
"Boom! Boom!" Two loud noises sounded below the city, and two plumes of green smoke rose among the cavalry below the city.
Guo Song, who was standing at the crenellation of the tower, was shaken and felt something hot coming out of his neck. He stretched out his hand and touched it, and his hand was full of blood. At the same time, he heard the sound of blood pouring out.
. He also saw out of the corner of his eye that blood was gushing like a spring next to his neck, which was brilliant in the morning sun.
"Guo Qianhu... was shot." Someone shouted in horror.

Only at this moment did Guo Song realize that he had been shot by someone from the city. It was the legendary blunderbuss firearm in Zhang Yanling's hand. The bullet penetrated his neck. After Guo Song realized this, his whole body suddenly collapsed.
, he fell down the city wall top-heavy and fell to the ground like a broken sack, splashing dust all over the ground.
He did become famous all over the world and was shot dead in full view of the public. This action kicked off the first scene of the struggle for imperial power in the Ming Dynasty. Guo Song was considered a flag-sacrifice.
The soldiers of the Jinyi Guards at the top of the city were in chaos and started shouting. One captain even began to bend his bow and prepare to shoot arrows down the city.
"Are you looking for death? You idiot, are you crazy? That's the prince of the Ming Dynasty. Are you going to shoot the prince for the idiot Guo Song?" someone shouted to stop.
Only then did everyone realize, they stopped their hands, and looked at each other at a loss.
"Zhao Mandun, Li Laojiu, why don't you open the city gate to welcome the prince into the city? Do you really want to bury Guo Song with him? You bastards, after so many years of wandering, they have become more and more ignorant. The prince is back, Jiang
Bin, what a dog? You haven’t opened the city gate yet to welcome the prince into the city. You have made a great contribution. I will remember this for you. Open the city gate quickly!"
Chen Shiyi recognized the two men at the top of the city as old men from the Jinyiwei Yamen, so he shouted sharply.
Zhao Mandun and Li Laojiu looked at each other after hearing this, both knowing that there was no excuse. Now that they have been recognized, they have to make a choice. At this moment, if the prince does not choose, should he choose Jiang Bin?
Without much thought, Zhao Mandun and Li Laojiu immediately led the people to lower the suspension bridge and open the city gate. During this period, some people objected, but they were immediately disarmed and tied up after being accepted by the two.
Huo Shijian immediately led two hundred cavalry to rush into the city gate. After rushing to the city tower, he, together with Zhao Mandun and their lieutenants, controlled the top and bottom of the city tower.

After a while, Zhang Yanling and other cavalrymen drove straight in from Deshengmen and all arrived at the square inside Deshengmen.
The sun was shining and it was almost time. The inner street of Deshengmen was empty. There were not many people living in the already desolate Beicheng. Today they all went to Yongdingmen Street in the outer city to see the emperor's enthronement, so it was even more empty.
The incident at Deshengmen actually did not attract the attention of the people around. Only a small number of people stood at the street entrance, indifferently watching the cavalry rushing in from outside the city. They did not know what happened.
"Your Majesty, where should we go first? To the palace or over there?" Chen Shiyi asked in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling looked at the sky and said, "Haven't you heard? The new emperor ascended the throne today, and he is currently offering sacrifices to heaven at the Zhengnanfang Tiandi Altar. Wouldn't it be more direct if we go directly to the Tiandi Altar? Send the order, and everyone should change their clothes, hold up white flags, and wear drapes.
Wear mourning clothes and come with me to the Temple of Heaven and Earth to worship the Emperor."
All the cavalrymen agreed in unison, took out their linen clothes and put them on, and raised the prepared white soul-calling flags and a large black flag with the word "Denial" written on it.
Zhang Yanling gave an order, and more than a thousand cavalrymen, all dressed in plain clothes, galloped along the long street holding high soul flags.
