Chapter 262 Tian Hongyu said

Capital, Tianfu.

After Tian Hongyu read the note in his hand, he slapped the armrest of the Grand Master's chair hard, and said excitedly: "The time has come, come!"

Feiyu suit, embroidered spring knife, the door opened, and two capable guards in brocade clothes entered with their swords.

"My Lord sent a message to seal off the Forbidden City. Send me an order to teach the brothers to act according to the plan and not to slack off at all!"

"yes!"

"Wang Sanping, you will be in charge of the rotation of the gates of the outer palace. Remember, before dark, all the guards at the gates of the outer palace must be replaced by our people! If necessary, you can take action!" Tian Hongyu's expression Extremely strict, with a sonorous and powerful tone.

"yes!"

Wang Sanping turned around and ran away.

"Li Wu Jiu, go and tell the brothers in the palace to be prepared and come with me to the palace at any time."

"yes!"

Under Jinyiwei, there are North and South Town Fusi, South Town Fusi is in charge of the inside, and North Town Fusi is in charge of the outside. In the early years, they were all under the jurisdiction of the Jinyiwei commander. Later, Beizhen Fusi was assigned to the Dongchang governor and subordinated to the Dongchang admiral.

In other words, Tian Hongyu, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, actually only has Nanzhen Fusi under his command. And Beizhen Fusi is in the hands of Dongchang, that is, Wang Chengen.

However, since Wei Zhongxian's incident, both the north and the south have fallen into the dust. Emperor Chongzhen was deceived by his ministers on many external national affairs. The biggest reason was the inability of Beizhen Fusi.

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had twenty-six guards, and the Jinyi Guards were the first among them. After Nanzhen Fusi fell into the dust, his control over the internal officials of the country declined to the extreme, and he was completely reduced to a gatekeeper stationed at the palace gate like Habayashi and Kingo.

The Forbidden City in the capital is divided into inner and outer parts. The outer palace is mainly guarded by Jinyi Guards, Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards. As for the inner palace, it was under the control of the Imperial Horse Guard Teng Xiang and the Fourth Guards Camp.

After Tian Hongyu was surrendered by Ying Yi, he was listed on the humane list by Ying Yi. This is so mysterious that it cannot be described by humans. In addition, as Ying Yi gradually becomes more powerful, Tian Hongyu has no second thoughts. In the past six months, Tian Hongyu, through his authority as the commander of the Jinyi Guards and his status as a relative of the emperor, has secretly placed many people - all of them on the list.

These people gradually took over the power of the Jinyi Guards and spread to the Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards.

As of now, most of the garrisons at key gates in the entire outer palace are under Tian Hongyu's control.

This is what makes Ying Yi confident in winning a complete capital. This is why the so-called cabinet and the so-called Zhou Yanru are not taken seriously by Ying Yi at all.

After the Ming Dynasty lost power, all the ministers in the Ming Dynasty were like chickens and tiles in the ditch. The person in charge of the army is the key to determining the integrity of the capital.

After annihilating Abatai's Donglu, the next step for Ying Yi is to seize the capital and complete the ultimate goal of the Northern Expedition - to destroy the Ming Dynasty.

So he sent a message and ordered Tian Hongyu to seize the defense of the capital, especially the Forbidden City. It is necessary to ensure the safety of the Forbidden City and the safety of Emperor Chongzhen, his concubines, princes, princesses, and clan members.

It's time for the nails planted by Tian Hongyu to take effect.

After arranging all the necessary matters, Tian Hongyu asked someone to hold a name card and invite the commanders of the Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards to come over and make a statement.

When the two commanders received Tian Hongyu's invitation, they had no doubts - ever since Zhao Jin stationed his troops outside the capital, all the civil and military ministers in the capital have been traveling back and forth these days. Either you invite me today, or I invite you today, it’s nothing more than discussing a way out.

As the commander of the Jinyi Guards and a relative of the emperor, Tian Hongyu still has some weight. Immediately, the two commanders arrived at Tian Hongyu's house in a sedan chair.

There are twenty-six personal soldiers of the emperor, especially the Jinyi Guards, Yulin Guards and Jinwu Guards who guard the Forbidden City. Their crucial importance needs no further elaboration. Because the controllers of these three guards were all Emperor Chongzhen's "confidants".

For example, Tian Hongyu is Concubine Tian's brother and a relative. The commanders of the Yulin Guard and the Jinwu Guard are both members of the clan, relatives of the Zhu family.

However, in this generation of Lao Zhu's family, there have been no outstanding figures. These two commanders usually don't do much. Anyway, the pro-military guards under their command just garrison and rotate according to the usual practice.

This is also the main reason why Tian Hongyu can easily place people in the Yulin Guard and Jinwu Guard.

When they arrived at Tian Mansion, Tian Hongyu smiled and invited the two clan commanders into the house, and then closed the door. The door was blocked by the bustling Jinyi Guards.

Tian Hongyu had no idea of ​​hiding anything. At this point, the two commanders suddenly came to their senses and realized something was wrong.

Tian Hongyu laughed, called the attendant to serve tea, and then said with a smile: "Please sit down, both of you."

The two commanders, realizing something was wrong at this time, were already fighting with each other.

One person swallowed: "Uncle Tian Guo, what do you mean?"

Following his line of sight, he could see bustling figures outside the white paper on the doors and windows, which made people's hearts tremble.

Tian Hongyu said slowly: "Don't worry, you two, listen to me."

Then he said: "The mountains and rivers are overturned, and it will be sunset on the Western Mountains tomorrow. Three thousand people are outside the city gate, and millions of people in the capital are helpless. If the main force returns, will you know the outcome?"

The two commanders were immediately speechless.

Tian Hongyu said: "In the past few days, the civil and military ministers and noble clan members have been coming and going, just to discuss a way out. You two are also running diligently, right?"

The two commanders immediately blushed.

Tian Hongyu said with a smile: "There are only two ways to go about this. One is to fight to the end. If you can defeat them, you can rest easy for the time being. The other is just to surrender the city. You two, I'm right. Isn’t that right? I’m sure many people have this idea?”

One person groaned: "What two ways? There is a third way!"

Tian Hongyu laughed loudly: "Are you two still pinning your hopes on the success of foreign troops? Tang Tong's fate can be seen vividly before our eyes. As for Datong Jiang Yu, haha, a local emperor, I am afraid that something will happen to the capital. Guan Ning?" "

"Hahaha..." He laughed loudly: "I can tell you two that Guan Ning is finished."

He handed over his hands and faced east, saying: "My lord Ying Gong has captured Shanhaiguan. Guan Ning's army, Bai Guangen and Ma Ke, have both surrendered. Wu Sangui was blocked outside the pass and trapped in Ningyuan. As for Jiangnan, haha, he has no time to pay attention to it!"

Jiangnan indeed has no time for him to take care of - the imperial court has received a call for help - the rebels are attacking Fengyang, the central capital. Fengyang Governor Ma Shiying cannot resist it and summons soldiers and horses from all the canal and Jiangnan troops to fight with the rebels in Zhongdu. After repeated battles and defeats, most of them have been lost and they are about to die.

Not only Zhongdu, but also Huguang and Guanzhong were all in flames of war. Especially in Huguang, Sichuan veteran Qin Liangyu led his troops out of Sichuan and fought under Xiangyang City, but they were unable to win.

The decline has been evident everywhere, and the power of the Ming Dynasty has been defeated!

Otherwise, the noble ministers in the imperial capital, Wu Xun, blatantly discussed together, and clearly did not take the emperor into consideration. What is the reason?

That's why.
