Jinyi champion

Zhang Cong didn't see Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao wouldn't see him either.

Guan Jing is not the kind of person who is good at words, he is only responsible for leading the troops. As for the meeting with Zhang Cong, he can say whatever Zhu Haorang says. What do you think, anyway, the next time we launch an attack, we will take down the capital.

"What happened after you went to sea? Whose army is besieging the capital right now? Who is fighting against Daming?"

As an envoy, Zhang Cong knew that he would have to deal with the emperor after returning home, and he needed detailed content, so he would not be easily dismissed by Guan Jing with a few words.

Guan Jingdao: "I am representing the Huaxia Empire now, and the troops of the Huaxia Empire who are fighting against you are naturally also the troops of the Huaxia Empire. According to the decree of the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, the Ming Emperor can retain the throne, but from now on he can only exist as a vassal of the Huaxia Empire. As for the Emperor of the Huaxia Empire , will keep his life, and even enjoy wealth forever, but from now on, the people of Daming will be the people of the Huaxia Empire."

"Crazy! Crazy!"

Zhang Cong was furious.

Listening to the other party's style of speaking is very similar to Zhu Hao, Guan Jing was brought out by Zhu Hao after all, Zhang Cong naturally felt that these words were taught by Zhu Hao.

It's just that Zhu Hao didn't come out to see him.

Guan Jing asked someone to bring over something that looked like a letter of credence, stuffed it forcefully into Zhang Cong's hands, and said coldly: "This is something for your emperor. There are still three hours before dawn. After three hours, the Chinese Empire The army will break into the city without mercy, I hope he can take care of himself!"

……

……

Zhang Cong left the camp with the letter of credence.

The situation in the camp surprised him very much. Those Javanese soldiers who were on guard at night were neatly dressed one by one, with steel helmets on their heads and black military uniforms on their heads. As straight as straight, two people walk in a row, three people in a row, all are natural movements, one looks like an elite teacher.

Zhang Cong was very puzzled, how did this army come about?

In just a few years since Zhu Hao went to sea, he has formed an army mainly composed of natives, and the military discipline is so strict... How can this group of barbarians who don't even understand the language obey Zhu Hao's orders?

Isn't Zhu Hao afraid of their rebellion?

Anyway.

Zhang Cong felt that his mission as an envoy had been accomplished, and he not only brought back the negotiation conditions offered by the other party, but also gave the emperor a choice, and at the same time brought hope to the soldiers and civilians in the city.

As long as the emperor surrenders.

What is the Huaxia Empire? He couldn't understand it, but he vaguely felt that as long as the emperor abdicated, he could be a prince with peace of mind in the future. , he was not sure.

When he appeared under the city, Yang Yiqing was surprised that Zhang Cong could come back alive.

"Bingyong, what's the matter?"

Yang Yiqing asked people to open the city gate to welcome Zhang Cong into the city.

Zhang Cong was annoyed at being ordered by Yang Yiqing to send an envoy. After meeting, he said coldly: "The thieves have decided to attack the city before dawn, and they threatened to raze the capital to the ground! You can do it yourself!"

Yang Yiqing said: "Then we can only take the initiative to attack! At present, it seems that the bandits have the least troops in the north of the city. With [-] cavalry to concentrate on the assault, it may be possible to fight!"

"Ha ha."

Although Zhang Cong is now Minister of the Ministry of War, he no longer has any decision-making power.

Almost all the military power of the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of Yang Yiqing.

Zhang Cong is also thinking about it. It seems that you don't suffer and you don't know how powerful the opponent is... The problem is that tens of thousands of cavalry rushed to kill, but the big guys saw it. Why do you think there is hope tonight?

Yang Yiqing said again: "Besides this, what else?"

Zhang Cong said: "The rest I will just present to His Majesty."

"You don't have to go!"

As soon as Yang Yiqing waved his hand, someone immediately took Zhang Cong down.

Zhang Cong yelled and asked, "Your surname is Yang, do you want to rebel?"

This time, he has already gone all out. Yang Yiqing ordered him to go on a mission before, but now he is not allowed to see the emperor after returning from the mission. It is clear that Yang Yiqing is ready to firmly hold the military power in his hands, or Yang Yiqing is ready to use the way of a Confucian official." Martyrdom".

From Yang Yiqing's point of view, if the military power is in the hands of the emperor or Zhang Cong, the family and country affairs are likely to go in an uncontrollable direction, and he must save the last face for Daming.

Yang Yiqing said: "The emperor guards the gate of the country, the king dies in the country, I will find someone to do the matter of entering the palace to participate in the performance. You just need to tell the inside story of the envoy in detail, otherwise you will be killed immediately to sacrifice the flag."

Zhang Cong sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, it was 30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi. After the Zuoshunmen incident ended, the era when the emperor controlled everything came to an end at this moment. The so-called "Heaven has reincarnation, who is spared by the sky" is a true portrayal of the present.

The emperor used a calm and passive way of avoiding war, which chilled the hearts of the passionate courtiers. The civil servants headed by Yang Yiqing are now going to carry out a "coup d'etat", or it cannot be called a "coup d'etat", but Yang Yiqing and others want to use their way Determine the direction of this battle.

Zhang Cong originally wanted to persuade Zhu Si, if we judge the situation, we can surrender, and we will not be afraid of running out of firewood to keep the green hills, but now he knows that he has no way to talk to the emperor about anything, even the needs of the enemies outside the city. The probability will not reach the emperor's ears.

……

……

Zhu Si hid in Qianqing Palace, dressed neatly, ready to run away at any time, but there was no news.

His concubines are all sleeping together on the floor here.

Zhu Si waited anxiously, walked out of the palace gate to breathe outside, but saw that the guards around him had changed a lot.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Yang Ge sent someone to say that the palace guards will be replaced."

Zhang Zuo appeared in front of Zhu Si with a face of embarrassment.

Zhu Si said angrily: "I have already seen that the man surnamed Yang has the heart of disobedience! Order Jin Yiwei and Jin Wuwei to guard the imperial gate firmly! In addition, send someone to take down the man surnamed Yang!"

"Your Majesty, at this time... do you want to put the overall situation first?"

For the first time in his life, Zhang Zuo didn't want to obey Zhu Si's order.

Zhu Si's actions are a bit reckless. Although it seems that Yang Yiqing has committed a rebellion, at least he is guarding the last line of defense for Daming. If Yang Yiqing is captured or killed at this time, the army will mutiny...then the emperor I completely lost my heart.

Zhu Sidao: "Why, do you want to rebel too?"

Zhang Zuo hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you want to keep the capital, you must keep a veteran minister like Yang Ge who knows the soldiers. For example, after the change of the Tumu Fort in the past, the minister Yu Qian was able to defend the capital. Your Majesty can strengthen the various parts of the palace. Guards, the gates of the imperial city are closed, and no one from the army has been seen since then."

"Ah."

After careful consideration, Zhu Si agreed.

The risk of getting into trouble with Yang Yiqing is too great, and his purpose is to sneak out of the city and run to Anlu with his family.

Zhu Si is also pondering in his heart. Fortunately, I have always regarded Anlu as a backup nest. Everything over there should have been repaired. !

……

……

Yang Yiqing originally wanted to control the emperor, everything was under his control, and the integrity of the emperor and ministers of the Ming Dynasty could be maintained.

But after the people he sent to take over the guards of the palace suffered failures, and there was even a confrontation with Jin Yiwei at the gate of the palace, and finally the emperor's cronies completely controlled the key points of the imperial city, Yang Yiqing finally realized that the soldiers in the army actually trusted him It is also limited.

In the face of the great enemy, the soldiers supported him, Yang Yiqing, not because he wanted him to commit rebellion, but more because he said that he was afraid that rebellious officials and thieves would harm the country.

And you sent people to control the emperor, what is this called?
"Mr. Yang Ge, I have asked. Gui E, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was originally in charge of defense in the north of the city, but now he has disappeared without a trace, or has gone to the palace, and no one has been found for the time being."

Yang Yiqing was even annoyed when he heard the report from the generals under his command.

What he is going to do now is "the side of the Qing emperor". In this era of supremacy of imperial power, the emperor is never at fault, and the only ones who are guilty are the courtiers around the emperor. The people in the court, apart from Zhang Cong, were headed by the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Gui E, and both of them were his confidantes.

Now Zhang Cong is under control, but Gui E escapes.

"Did Zhang Bingyong find anything on him?"

Yang Yiqing asked sharply.

Immediately, someone presented Zhang Cong's credential to Yang Yiqing. When Yang Yiqing saw the above content, he was shocked.

"Old Yang Ge, it seems that there is... room for change in everything."

Obviously, generals have read the content of the credential before.

As mentioned above, as long as the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty leave the city and surrender, they will be freed from the misfortune of destroying the country, and they can live in peace.

From the emperor's point of view, this is simply unacceptable, but to the courtiers, especially those soldiers who charge forward, this is actually negotiable.

It's not that they don't want to be loyal to their country.

It's because... I really can't beat it.

Death is in vain.

"No one in life has died since ancient times, so keep your loyal heart and history! I, the emperor and minister of the Ming Dynasty, will never surrender under the iron heels of bandits! Prepare your cavalry and launch an assault in the north of the city! Break down one by one!"

……

……

A big battle was initiated by the Ming army in the city.

[-] cavalry gathered in the Desheng Gate in the north of the city. What they had to do was to open a gap from the north of the city, where the enemy's defenses seemed weakest.

I used to think that the south gate was the weakest for defense, but as the people gathered there, there was too much commotion. The opponents in the south of the city were already on guard, and it was very difficult for the cavalry to march out of the city in a densely populated area, so Yang Yiqing turned to seek a breakthrough from the north of the city.

The east of the city is the main battlefield, and the emperor sent cavalry to attack the west of the city before the entire army was wiped out...only to take advantage of the night to complete the final blow in the north of the city.

"You are Daming's last hope, everything depends on you! This is the time to be loyal to the country!"

Before the war, Yang Yiqing personally issued a mobilization order to the armed forces.

It's a pity that most of the cavalry who were ordered to attack did not have the determination and courage to die. They had already seen the strength of the opponent's firearms. The cavalry in front is almost no different from sending them to death.

So you still say you want to be loyal to Daming?
"Mr. Yang Ge, there are waves floating in the sky, and I don't know where it fell! In the past hour, there are scattered everywhere in the city. Take a look."

Someone handed over to Yang Yiqing the documents persuading surrender that had been scattered over a large area in the city by hot air balloons outside the city.

After reading it, Yang Yiqing became angry from the bottom of his heart.

"send troops!"

Yang Yiqing shouted sharply.

Immediately, someone questioned: "If you still have to send troops like this, will it be..."

Yang Yiqing had no better choice, because even ordinary people in the city had seen the letter of persuasion to surrender, so how could it be possible that the inner garden of the palace could not get such a letter of persuasion from heaven?

When the emperor has a reaction, it is even more impossible to carry out the dispatch of troops.

"The first battle is successful! The whole army is attacking!"
