Chapter 197
Although the disciples of the school did not understand why Zhang Zongxian didn't do it right away, but waited until May, but out of unlimited trust in the master, no one questioned Zhang Zongxian's decision.

With the assignment of various tasks, the entire school is like a precision machine, and it starts to work quickly.

The task of the navy is the most arduous. It must not only transport troops but also keep secrets to prevent those who are interested in discovering such a large-scale troop transfer. It must also make preparations for dispatching troops to the Yangtze River Estuary.

Zhang Zongxian is the most leisurely, he just needs to wait for the arrival of May in Shenyang.

As time approached, Wei Zhongxian began to be impatient and wanted to annex the Taiping bank ahead of time. His minions kept harassing Taiping, and some people had already begun to use various excuses to borrow money from the Taiping bank.

Zhang Zongxian also kept writing letters to Wei Zhongxian, appeasing Wei Zhongxian not to let his subordinates damage the credibility of Taiping, saying that it is a chicken that lays golden eggs.

In the future, his children will still be taken care of by Wei Zhongxian, and all these properties will be entrusted to Wei Zhongxian, which comforts Wei Zhongxian.

At the end of April, troops from all directions had arrived at the designated positions, and Zhang Zongxian had also arrived at Shanhaiguan.

In the end, it depends on whether the mystery of the so-called three natural disasters in the world will happen. Even if it will not happen, the arrow has to be launched now, because the public opinion is not dominant.

In the capital, Tianqi personally directed the blessing ceremony in order to live to 99 years old.

Civil and military officials and nobles don't understand what Tianqi is going to do?I didn't choose a good place for the blessing ceremony, it had to be Wang Gongchang's place, and Wei Zhongxian was blamed for all of Tianqi's weird behavior.

Thinking that Wei Zhongxian had bewitched the emperor, the investigation department also contributed to the flames, letting the entire Ming Dynasty know about it in a short time.

Under the strict order of Tianqi, none of the civil and military officials above the fifth rank dared to be absent, and the nobles made preparations early, and Tianqi's younger brother Xin Wang also came to pray for blessings.

As for the new chief minister Zhang Zongxian, the reason why he didn't come is that Liaodong is unstable, and only three people knew about the sealing of the snow demon from the beginning to the end.

The ministers of the DPRK and China have heard that Zhang Zongxian is dying of illness, and he will not be the chief servant for a few days.

Although Zhang Zongxian didn't say how to pray for blessings, there are naturally professionals who will take care of everything.

On the sixth day of May, in order to flatter Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian ordered all the people in the city to stay at home, pray to Emperor Zhenwu, and not to go out at will.

Civil and military officials, nobles and imperial guards of the inner court filled the vicinity of Wang Gong's factory. Zhang Zongxian had specially emphasized that the layout of Wang Gong's factory should not be changed arbitrarily.

As a result, so many people couldn't use it, so they could only huddle together. After the sun rose, everyone present had a scripture book in their hands and began to read aloud.

Until [-] o'clock in the morning, suddenly a loud noise spread throughout the capital, and the sky became as dark as night, just like an earth dragon turned over and the house shook, and a ganoderma-shaped cloud of smoke rose in the direction of Wang Gongchang.

At this time, Yunong, who was at the Taiping headquarters in Beijing, looked at everything that happened, and didn't know what to say for a while.

Zhang Zongxian had already told him what would happen?Let him get ready in the capital, and once it happens, act immediately to prepare for the arrival of the army.

In addition, it also explained that Yunong should use the shortest time to let the whole world know that Tianqi and all civil and military officials died of the punishment of heaven.

On the afternoon of the sixth day of May, Zhang Zongxian, who had been waiting outside Tianjin, immediately ordered to land at Dagukou after receiving a summons from the capital.

Without anyone blocking them, the Legislative Army landed ashore very smoothly. After gathering a cavalry brigade landing force at night, Zhang Zongxian led the brigade and set off first.

The follow-up troops will log in to a brigade and immediately set off for the capital. There will be [-] brigades landing in the first stage, and then the navy will return to Lushun to continue transporting troops to Tianjin.

Dagukou is three hundred miles away from the capital, and it will take three days for the cavalry to attack with all their strength.

And after the explosion of Wanggong factory, the whole capital fell into chaos, everyone who could call the shots died, and the biggest one was the queen. The queen who received the news didn't know what to do?He could only hold his son and wash his face with tears.

What is certain is that Tianqi is dead, all civil and military officials above the fifth rank are dead, and the nobles in the capital are even more dead or injured. On the contrary, the common people are at home and there are not many casualties.

Not only that, rumors spread throughout the capital that Tianqi was condemned by the heavens, and in the chaotic capital, local ruffians also took the opportunity to come out to loot.

After the explosion, Yunong found Miss Su and asked her to go to the queen immediately, and asked the queen to order the chief minister to come to Beijing to stabilize the situation.

The empress of Liushen Wuzhu, as if she had grasped the life-saving straw, immediately issued an order to recruit Zhang Zongxian to return to Beijing to preside over the overall situation.

The Donglin Party who stayed in the capital also realized that it was a plan, so they wanted to meet the queen and release the people from Donglin. Zhang Zongxian had expected it a long time ago. into the palace.

At this time, the palace was also in chaos, all the principals were dead, only some little Luoluo remained, and the guest room did not go to Wang Gong's factory because of their status, so they escaped the catastrophe.

However, her backers were all dead. In order to keep her power, the guest room went so far as to take risks, trying to snatch the prince from the queen and murder the queen by the way.

On the evening of the seventh day of the lunar new year, the guest room took the loyal palace eunuchs with them, carrying laundry sticks, hairpins, and lamp sticks, to the palace where the queen lived.

Fortunately, the queen has been cultivating her own power in the past two years, and with the arrangement of the investigation department, all the medical girls beside the queen are very skilled. When they found something wrong, they immediately rushed to fight with the people in the guest room.

At this time, the guards in the palace didn't dare to participate in the fight between the two sides. Both sides were also eunuchs in the palace, and they didn't have any good weapons. They both held similar weapons and started a bloody fight.

Although there are fewer people on the queen's side, there are many masters, and there are many people on the guest room side, but there are no masters. The two sides fought evenly, and neither could do anything to the other.

Originally, Wei Zhongxian had trained a team of eunuchs outside the city, but at this time the gates of the capital were closed and they couldn't enter the city, so the two sides remained in a stalemate.

On the night of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhang Zongxian finally arrived at the capital with the cavalry brigade. He opened the city gate with the Queen's order, and after controlling the city gate, he led his troops straight to the palace.

Subsequent soldiers and horses also continued to come from Tianjin. After arriving in the capital, according to the predetermined plan, the investigation department led the way and immediately took over the defense of the capital.

After Zhang Zongxian arrived at the imperial city with his troops, the palace guards refused to open the gate. Instead of talking nonsense with these guards, they directly blew up the city gate with explosives. The two sides who were confronting each other in the harem heard the sound of the explosion, thinking that there was another scourge from heaven.

The guest room was guilty of being a thief, and left in a hurry in fright, and all his subordinates dispersed.
