Chapter 265 Early morning

While all the eunuchs and eunuchs were in charge of the palace, Tian Hong's first target was the eunuch Wang Dehua. Because this person is in charge of the Royal Horse Prison Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp, and more than 10,000 elite soldiers in the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp are still in the Yuma Prison Military Camp on the side of Wanshou Mountain, they must be relocated as soon as possible.

Tian Hongyu then forced Emperor Chongzhen to write a handwritten letter and obtained the seal of the Royal Horse Eunuch from Wang Dehua. He ordered Wang Sanping to take a small eunuch close to Wang Dehua and go immediately with Emperor Chongzhen's handwriting and the seal of the Royal Horse Supervisor. The Royal Horse Supervisor disarmed the four guard camps of Tengxiang.

In this way, the Forbidden City is completely stable.

At the end of the Shen Dynasty, the civil and military ministers who received the summons from the palace came to the Qianqing Palace one after another, and were held aside as soon as they entered. After all the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were captured, Tian Hongyu completely relaxed.

Things went so smoothly that people were caught off guard, and many of the hidden tricks that had been left behind were completely useless now. But that's a good thing. If it comes to a situation where hidden hands must be used, it means things are not going well.

In the huge Qianqing Palace, the emperor sat on a dragon chair, with civil and military officials standing on both sides. Except for the imperial guards with swords and guns on both sides, it seemed to be no different from the ordinary days of the dynasty.

Under the dim light, there was silence. Both the emperor and the civil and military ministers were silent, their expressions were extremely bleak, and their energy and spirit were extremely dejected.

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt a little funny - usually during court meetings, whenever he proposed any plans, officials would often contradict him. They would criticize and accuse him from the moral high ground, and they would all shout to die just to stop him. His emperor's edict.

However, nowadays, all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are detained in the palace and become prisoners of the lower ranks. How can we see a moral gentleman stand up and die for him as the emperor and for this country?

He felt so ridiculous.

Sure enough, the king is not the king who has subjugated the country, but the ministers are all the ministers who have subjugated the country.

Perhaps the death of the Ming Dynasty is just a matter of days. I'm just sorry that my ancestors have gone through all kinds of hardships to establish their legacy.

Tian Hongyu walked through the middle hall, and the trembling civil and military ministers looked at him, some with expressionless faces, some with flattering smiles, but no one came to criticize him. At this moment, Tian Hongyu felt so complicated.

He reached the foot of His Majesty's steps and clasped his fists slightly: "Your Majesty, please sit quietly for the night. You will be fine tomorrow."

Then he said: "Farewell."

Turning around, he had already left Qianqing Palace.

There are still many things that Tian Hongyu needs to do this night. He has never felt so important as at this moment.

But he also knew that even without him, Lord Ying Yi could easily take over the capital - look at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, how could they defend this country with such appearance?

Standing outside the hall, Tian Hongyu took a deep breath: "Come, follow me to the Beijing Camp!"

...

At dawn, the shadow of the behemoth-like capital has already appeared in sight. Ying Yi was only wearing armor, but had already taken off his hood, revealing a resolute face. The scarlet cloak was fluttering behind him, and the horse's hooves were beating under the seat.

"Report, my lord, Zhao Jinbu will be waiting outside Yongding Gate!"

Ying Yi came to his senses slightly and said, "I understand."

Then he said to Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu, Zheng Jiu and Qian Yue: "Let's go."

Ying Yi shook the reins and whipped the horse's whip, and the horses under him trampled the dust. The four captains responded and followed, and within a moment, Zhao Jin and others were seen bowing to greet him.

Ying Yi reined in and dismounted.

"Greetings, my lord!"

Zhao Jin and others beat their chests and clasped their fists, bowed and bowed.

Ying Yi nodded slightly: "How is the situation in the capital?"

He said: "Teach the soldiers to set up camp on the spot, Zhao Jin, let's talk on the side."

"Yes, my lord!"

Yongding Gate is the south gate of the capital, located on the central axis of the capital. If Ying Yi wanted to enter the city, he would naturally enter from here. Rather than Xizhimen where Zhao Jin's troops were stationed.

The order was issued and the soldiers set up camp without mentioning it.

Standing outside Yongding Gate and looking at the dim firelight on the city top, Ying Yi and Zhu Bingkun were waiting under the city in the night.

Soldiers had already brought the things and everyone sat down. Ying Yi said, "Sit down and talk."

Then he said: "Zhao Jin, have there been any disturbances in the capital these days? Has Tian Hongyu made any achievements?"

Zhao Jin came out and said: "Returning to my lord's transformation, there have been no disturbances in the capital in recent days. As for Tian Hongyu's situation, at midnight, a Jin Yiwei sent a message, saying that Tian Hongyu has controlled the situation and is only waiting for my lord to come."

Ying Yi smiled and said, "That's good."

Then he said: "Teach the soldiers to be energetic. After dawn, they will probably enter the city. Zhu Bingkun, Zheng Wu, Zheng Jiu, Qian Yue, the four of you, be prepared. There are still many Ming court soldiers and horses in the capital city. After entering the city Suppress quickly without making any mistakes."

"Here!"

"Besides, make preparations to attack the city." Ying Yi added: "It doesn't matter whether we attack the city or not, but preparations must be made. We can't be careless."

"Here."

Ying Yi's greatest confidence was not Tian Hongyu, but the soldiers and horses under his command. It's best if Tian Hongyu can control the capital. If he can't, it will naturally be the army's turn to take action. Prepare with both hands and grasp with both hands.

At the end of the Mao hour and near the end of the day, the sky finally shines. The previous battles, including Zhao Jin's garrison at Xizhimen, made the people in the capital panic and uneasy. However, after a few days of silence and no beacon fire, the people became bolder again.

The capital has been repeatedly affected by war in recent years. The Tatars showed off their power and power in front of the capital during the first four times they entered the customs. They have become numb and the people have become accustomed to it.

He was frightened for a moment, then seemed to turn a blind eye again.

After all, life is the most important thing.

When the morning light first rises, the city comes alive. After all, Zhao Jin only blocked one city gate. The capital was vast and there were many places to leave and enter the city. Those who pour night fragrance or run small businesses are ready to start their activities at this time.

But the capital was under martial law.

At each important pass, there are guards in brocade uniforms patrolling. The flying fish suit and the embroidered spring knife are awe-inspiring.

"Business can't be done today..."

The vendors all sighed like this.

The sound of horse hoofbeats was clear and loud, coming from Zhengyang Gate. But I saw a Biao Jingcai coming out of the inner city of the capital. The leader was looking at the appearance. Who could it be if it wasn't Tian Hongyu?

"Are you fully prepared to welcome your lord?"

Tian Hongyu was still a little worried.

Wang Sanping said: "Don't worry, sir, everything has been prepared. All the intersections along the main street are under security and the roads are clean and tidy. There will be no hindrance to the Lord's entry into the city."

"Okay." Tian Hongyu took a breath and flicked his riding whip: "Everyone, follow me to welcome the lord into the city!"

"drive!"

This Biao Fei fish-suited cavalry smoothly passed through the Central Axis Avenue and went straight to Yongding Gate.

The thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded in the capital, and countless pairs of eyes watched them from the attics and houses on both sides of the road, all the way to Yongding Gate.

"Fire the cannon! Open the city gate!"

Tian Hongyu got off his horse and shouted loudly.

The soldiers who had been waiting for the ride had already adjusted the muzzle of the cannon. With the thunderous sound of the cannon, the Yongding Gate opened with a creak.

Tian Hongyu walked step by step, followed by three hundred imperial guards behind him. As soon as he left the city gate, he saw a large army not far away. The place was as simple as a square, with swords and guns standing everywhere, and flags fluttering!
