A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television

The battle was over, and the battle was over.

Just when Lu Cheng divided his troops into many routes and marched towards the Central Plains, the rebels from Shanxi Province, the Central Plains, Shandong and other places gathered together and suddenly marched into Yanjing City.

Emperor Tianqi quickly mobilized all the troops near Yanjing to eliminate the rebels, and ordered the governors and guards of various parts of the Ming Dynasty to lead their troops to Yanjing to defend the king.

After the vanguard of the rebels arrived near the capital, they immediately built various siege equipment to prepare for the siege.

Emperor Tianqi despised the rebels to some extent, and even ordered the generals of the Five Military Governors' Office to lead the troops of the Beijing Camp to take the initiative to attack and eliminate the vanguard of the rebels.

But Emperor Tianqi obviously overestimated his own troops in the Beijing Camp and underestimated the rebels outside the city.

If it was in the early Ming Dynasty, the troops in the Beijing Camp of the Ming Dynasty would definitely be the elite among the elite, and there was also a professional firearms unit, the Shenji Camp.

But today's Beijing Camp is not much better than the guards in various places. The phenomenon of eating empty salaries and arrears of salaries is also very serious, and it has long lost its combat effectiveness.

On the contrary, the rebels outside the city, after more than half a year of fighting and elimination, are all elite soldiers who have experienced blood and fire, and they are not ambiguous against the Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp.

Once the two sides fought, the rebels relied on their fearless fighting style to defeat the troops in the Beijing Camp.

Afterwards, the guards on the four gates of Yanjing urgently ordered the gates to be closed, relying on the city to resist the attack of the rebels.

However, that night, violent explosions occurred almost simultaneously at the south and west gates of the capital. The rebels took advantage of the situation and attacked the capital. The whole Yanjing was in chaos. The most brutal street fighting was taking place in the streets and alleys. The sound of gunfire, fighting, and screams resounded throughout the city of Yanjing.

When Emperor Tianqi in the Forbidden City heard that the city gate had been breached, his already weak body could no longer hold on and he died on the spot.

After the Western Army entered the city, they did not care about the people. They quickly occupied the four city gates and began to clean up the mansions of the dignitaries in the city.

At the same time, a team of people attacked the Xinwang Mansion and wanted to capture Xinwang Zhu Youjian. When the rebels attacked the mansion, Zhu Youjian hid in the house and burned himself to death.

At dawn, the rebels had occupied the entire Yanjing and attacked the Forbidden City. Except for a few who died in battle, most of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty surrendered.

On the contrary, the eunuchs in the Forbidden City put up the most tenacious resistance, and few surrendered.

No one expected that the capital of the Ming Dynasty would be captured by the rebels.

Even before the Emperor Tianqi's edict to support the emperor had been spread to all places, the Ming Dynasty was over.

When the news that Yanjing was broken by the rebels came out, the whole world was shocked. The rebels in various places accelerated their attacks and even began to annex each other.

Some local Zhu family princes raised their flags, wanting to gather people and rebuild the world and resume the Ming Dynasty.

However, those Zhu family princes were used to being domineering in various places, and how many of them could be supported by the people?

At the same time, the rebels in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also purged the Donglin Party and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, killing people in Jiangnan and piling up gold and silver.

When the huge wealth is in front of them, it is inevitable that some people will take risks.

However, those who dared to covet wealth would always be hit by a sudden bullet at the first time and die under their own greed.

Among the leaders of the rebels in various parts of the world today, those with the largest number of troops and the strongest strength basically came from Liaodong.

As for the rebels who followed suit later, there were basically some intelligence agents lurking around each leader of the rebels, watching those leaders at any time.

If anyone dared to disobey, the revolver would give them a chance to start a new life.

In less than half a month, the Donglin Party members in the whole of Jiangnan were uprooted. Except for a few unimportant little characters who didn't know where they ran away, those with names and surnames were basically cleared out.

As for whether there were any who were wronged, it was no longer important.

Just after the rebels cleared the Donglin Party and wealthy merchants in Jiangnan, Lu Cheng led 20,000 troops to Jiangnan and launched a "war" with the rebels.

The rebels who had beaten the Ming army to the point of being powerless were also "powerless to fight back" in front of Lu Cheng's Liaodong Army. Most of them surrendered directly, and a few were annihilated.

As for the rebels who were annihilated, they were naturally some unorganized and undisciplined people who followed suit.

The rebel army that had harmed the people.

After incorporating the rebel army near Jiangnan, Lu Cheng immediately issued a series of decrees to reorganize and reorganize the rebel army and put it under the banner of the regular army.

At the same time, Lu Cheng sent people to post notices to calm the people and stabilize the order of the entire Jiangnan to prevent people from taking advantage of the chaos to harm ordinary people and disrupt public order.

At the same time, the staff of the logistics department also began to count the various properties looted.

Soon, a rough figure was reported to Lu Cheng first. The total value of the gold and silver properties collected this time exceeded 400 million taels of silver.

This does not include other antiques, silk fabrics, food supplies, ships, real estate, etc.

Even Lu Cheng had to sigh that this was called rich enough to rival a country.

If the Ming Dynasty court had so much silver, it would probably not have fallen into the situation today.

At this time, news came from the north that Yanjing City was breached and Emperor Tianqi died.

Lu Cheng led 15,000 soldiers and 45,000 temporarily reorganized rebels, a total of 60,000 troops, to the capital. He left 5,000 soldiers to reorganize the rest of the rebels and stationed in Jiangnan to stabilize order.

At the same time, You Shigong, the general who was heading to northern Shaanxi, persuaded his two brothers You Shiwei and You Shilu. The three brothers led the army to fight against the rebels, won battles one after another, and successively incorporated several rebel armies in northern Shaanxi, gradually occupying Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Shanxi and other places.

He Shixian, who had already fought to Shanhaiguan, also began to march towards the capital.

Tong Zhongkui, who had basically cleared Shandong Zhongyuan and other places, was also approaching the capital.

This kind of rebellion went quite smoothly. After all, the leaders of both sides were their own people, and fighting was just a process. At most, some scum in the rebels were cleaned up, and the rebels basically turned against each other and surrendered.

As for the people who revolted at the bottom, they were worried about being liquidated at first, but when they saw that the generals above could still hold important positions and continue to lead troops after surrendering, they were relieved.

In a manor outside Yanjing, Lu Wenzhao, the former commander of the Northern Pacification Division of the Jinyiwei, was looking at the black-clothed people in front of him with a confused look on his face: "Who are you? Why did you bring me here?"

At this moment, a young man in black clothes and a mask came out of the door, took off the black cloth covering his face, and smiled: "Uncle Lu, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you recently?"

When Lu Wenzhao saw this person, his heart was relieved: "Are you Ding Xian? These people..."

"These are all self- "My own people, Master Uncle doesn't have to worry."

"What is going on? Could it be that Lu Cheng..."

"Master Uncle, don't think too much, don't ask too much, just stay in this garden for a few days. Everything will be clear in a short time."

After hearing this, Lu Wenzhao was silent for a long time, and then sighed: "Junior Sister is really blessed."

At the same time, in another manor next door, the former Jinyiwei General Flag Lu Jianxing and Jinyiwei Nanzhenfu Division Baihu Pei Lun were also looking at the surrounding environment with a confused look.

"Everyone, can I ask where you are from? And why did you bring me here?"

"General Flag Lu, Baihu Pei, don't worry, we have no intention of hurting you. My master thinks that you two are still talented, so he asked us to bring you out to prevent you from dying in the hands of the rebels."

"So, Lu Mou has to thank your master?"

"Not necessary, just do your work with peace of mind in the future."
