Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Fan Jingwen bit his lower lip. He had just recovered and it would only take two months before His Majesty would entrust him with an important task... This time, he would be entrusted with his family and life.

The emperor's grace is mighty!

He made up his mind that even if he died, he would never let down His Majesty's important mission!

Zhu Youjian smiled and nodded to Wang Chengen.

The latter took out a list and handed it to Fan Jingwen: "Mr. Fan Ge, these are the subjects that His Majesty has named to be taken away. You should leave the palace first to contact them."

Fan Jingwen nodded in agreement and was about to say goodbye to Chongzhen when he was called out again.

"Fan Ge, only you know about preparing the ship. Don't tell these people the reason yet. You send them to the palace in the name of bidding farewell to the emperor, and then I take them out of the waterway to prevent the news from leaking."

Zhu Youjian ordered carefully.

Historically, after the death of the original owner, 28 officials, 16 staff members, and 1 living member committed suicide and died for the country.

Among the people mentioned above, most of them committed suicide as a whole family, and some of them died in battle at the gate of the city...

These people are among the three thousand officials and tens of thousands of officials in the capital. They are the last people who have their hearts set on the Ming Dynasty. They can be called the last team. Zhu Youjian decided to take them all away.

……

Not to mention Zhu Youjian's many arrangements, let's talk about the courtiers.

After being threatened by Chongzhen, the ministers who fled the palace in embarrassment became more and more angry as they thought about it, and immediately gathered around Li Laiheng again to discuss.

The threats made by Zhu Youjian were really scary...

Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, etc. who originally competed with the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang for the throne, as well as the descendants of their generals who preferred death rather than surrender, were all classified as unworthy. During the nearly 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, this unworthy status continued for almost 300 years. Their descendants, It also sank for 300 years.

The ministers did not dare to gamble...

The ministers were debating for a long time, but Li Laiheng remained silent. He was thinking about what he had just seen, and even questioned Emperor Yongchang's decision.

"Oh!"

Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of War, suddenly hammered the coffee table with his hand and stood up suddenly:

"Everyone, now that the matter is over, do we have a second way?"

Zhang Jinyan's words woke everyone up. Yes, we have reached the current situation. Apart from letting Chongzhen die, there is no other way!

Wei Zaode bent over Li Laiheng, his shiny face full of flattery:

"My young prince, please give me an order to allow us to enter the palace, capture and kill Zhu Youjian, to satisfy the hatred in our hearts!"

Li Laiheng raised his head, glanced at the ministers playfully, shook his head and said:

"You guys are joking. I am not a prince. You must never make such a joke again in the future."

Li Laiheng cannot be called a prince.

Li Zicheng had no sons, and his closest blood relationship was Li Guo.

Li Guo was Li Jin, who was named Chixin during the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was the son of Li Zicheng's eldest brother.

He was only a few months younger than Li Zicheng. Because his father died when he was young, his birth date was too rigid, so he was adopted by Li Zicheng, who was only one year old at the time. The two grew up together.

It can be said that Li Laiheng, the adopted son of Li Guo, is the heir and grandson of Li Zicheng.

Because of this relationship, the civil servants promoted Li Laiheng to the position of 'Prince'.

However, to this group of shameless people, what does this mean?

They don't even care about the justice of their family and country, so why do they care about their shame!

The ministers smiled and yawned, covering up the question of address. Someone asked:

"Then we've settled on this and ask the prince to send troops as soon as possible."

Li Laiheng smiled bitterly: "Since you opened Zhangyi Gate, our army has been able to pass directly to the capital.

However, although the seven gates of the outer city of the capital have been breached by our army, the nine gates of the inner city are still guarded spontaneously by Ming troops who have lost their organizational structure, led by a small number of Ming generals and courtiers. "

All the courtiers knew these things.

They also wanted to order these defeated remnants to lay down their weapons and surrender...

However, the Ming Dynasty has been standing for nearly 300 years and has raised scholars for 300 years. There are countless people who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention letting this group of stragglers surrender, the people they sent to persuade them to surrender were all killed!

If it weren't for the urgent attack by the intruders outside the city, I'm afraid those soldiers would have to get out of the way and kill them first...

Historically, it was not until Chongzhen's body was found that resistance from all parts of the capital gradually disappeared.

It was precisely because there were skirmishers guarding the inner city that the invading army was unable to enter the inner city in a hurry. The ministers had no choice, so they wanted to dig out their lair and capture Chongzhen first, so as to break up the spontaneous resistance of the Ming army.

The capital is divided into the outer city, the inner city, the imperial city, and the palace city, each of which is blocked by city walls. The outer city is only the southern half of the city and does not completely surround the inner city.

However, there are still two rings of walls inside the inner city!

The relationship between the command and control of the garrison on these city walls is very complicated!

The text alone seems a bit confusing, but it’s easier to understand with the layout diagram attached.

Li Laiheng clapped his hands, spread his hands, and said very bachelorly:

"There is not a single soldier of our army in the city. I don't care about this matter!"

Following Li Laiheng's words, everyone glanced at Zhu Chunchen, who was in charge of the palace garrison.

Li Zicheng surrounded the capital, and Zhu Chunchen was given the important task of guarding the palace city, leading hundreds of people to guard the palace city.

It can be regarded as the last line of organic defense of the palace!

Zhu Chunchen smiled bitterly: "I have some soldiers on my hands, but there are a lot of eyes staring at them!

It would be easy to open the palace door.

I was afraid that after the large-scale mobilization, those damn soldiers would find out.

If they abandon the inner city wall and make a desperate counterattack, I'm afraid we won't be able to end well! "

Zhu Chunchen was also helpless: "Even though I can order my soldiers to surround the emperor, I can't order the Ming army on other lines of defense!"

The situation at this time is - the outermost group is the Chuang Army, and the innermost noble Zhu Chunchen has rebelled.

However, the Ming army was still resisting between the two cities.

As long as there is a big change in the inner city, the Ming army responsible for guarding the inner city will fight back with all their might, and the courtiers will all be dead!

They surrendered to Li Zicheng in order to continue to be prosperous and wealthy, not to seek death!

The ministers were dumbfounded.

It's not enough to have a strategy without the soldiers who can withstand the Ming army's counterattack!

At this critical moment, a loud roar came from the crowd.

"It's okay!"

Zhang Sizhi, a former Qunfu who lived in Beijing after he was dismissed from office, stretched out his hand to push through the crowd and squeezed into the center of the main room.

He said loudly: "I have more than 3000 servants and servants in my house. Let's arm all the servants. Together, we have more than [-] officials in the capital, and I am afraid that we can at least tens of thousands of servants.

It’s just a palace, but it’s not at your fingertips! "

As early as three years ago, Zhang Sizhi was dismissed from office because of his incompetence. The reason why he couldn't leave was because he was waiting for his revenge!

Now that a new dynasty is about to be established, this is a good opportunity!

Zhang Sizhi had been waiting for a blockbuster to impress his new owner, but he didn't expect the opportunity to come like this.
