Chapter 452 The trend of thunder

Soldiers have the mentality of following herds. As long as one person follows Zhu Di, more people will immediately follow Zhu Di. So Zhu Di bewitched, all the soldiers who have lost their backbone will follow Zhu Di to Beijing to serve the king.

Zhu Di was very satisfied with his speech level and gathered thousands of soldiers so easily.

"Clean all the place and call Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu and others."

After dealing with the matter in front of him, Zhu Di will start working on the entire Beiping city. After all, there are tens of thousands of imperial troops in the entire Beiping, so they will not be as easy to fool as the soldiers in front of him.

Soon, the bodies in front of the Yan Prince's Mansion had been cleared away, and the surrendered soldiers were also arranged to the places where the royal palace guards were stationed before. Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu, Qiu Fu, Daoyan, Zhu Neng, Jin Zhong, and Zhu Di's confidant in the past two years had all arrived at the Yan Prince's Mansion.

Although it has been cleaned up now, the bloody smell in front of the Yan Prince's Mansion cannot cover up the bloody reality just now. So when Zhang Yu and others walked to the Yan Prince's Mansion, they already knew that the troubled times were coming.

The one who was most excited was naturally Daoyan. This was the result he wanted to see most after following Zhu Di for more than ten years. Today, it finally became a reality.

After entering the Yan Prince's Mansion, Zhu Di directly opened the point, "Qiu Fu, you lead a thousand soldiers to attack Xizhimen and Fuchengmen. Both of them have internal causes, so it is not difficult to take them down."

"Zhu Neng, you lead a thousand people to attack Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen."

"Jin Zhong, you lead a thousand people to attack Andingmen and Deshengmen."

"Sdao, you can break through the encirclement at night and go to the north to dispatch troops, and transfer all 20,000 guards back."

"Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu, you follow me to attack Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Chongwen Gate. These are the three city gates that Zhou Yi focused on defending. The guards of the city are all his confidants. This is the real tough battle."

Zhu Di's series of orders came down. Everyone took the order and left. This was the responsibility of the soldier.

"Zheng Da, you lead the secret guards to control the governor and the censor. Before dawn tomorrow, I want Peiping to be in my hands, not just the Yan Palace!"

Zhu Di gave the order, and Zheng Dashing took the order and left.

Afterwards, Zhu Di took Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu away from the Yan Prince's Mansion, headed south all the way, and led a large army to attack Zhengyang Gate.

Zhengyang Gate is the gateway of Peking and has always been Zhou Yi's defensive focus. In his opinion, if Zhu Di's plan is inappropriate, he must take down Zhengyang Gate. Only in this way can he go straight to Nanjing. So he transferred his most elite Shenwu Guard to Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate and Chongwen Gate, and thousands of heavy troops to guard him, Zhu Di could not take down three gates.

However, he dreamed that Zhu Di did rebel, but he was no longer the one who commanded the battle, but one of his deputy generals. He could only sigh at the other end.

The three gate tower of Zhengyang is very high, easy to defend but difficult to attack. When the Ming army attacked the Yuan Dynasty's capital, it paid a heavy price. Most of the casualties were in the attack and defense of these three gates.

Seeing the torch teleportation downstairs, the deputy general knew what was going on.

And Zhou Yi has not come back now, so there is only one possibility, that is, he was killed by Zhu Di.

"Open the city gate for me!"

Zhu Di stood at the Zhengyang Gate and shouted loudly at the defenders on the city tower.

"Zhu Di! You dare to rebel against the world! As the imperial court commands frugal affairs, I will never let you go of rebellion like this!"

The defender is a commander and a high-ranking official on weekdays. But now, he is just a general guarding the city gate. If the city gate is lost, he will know his fate.

"Hmph, the treacherous ministers in the court are in power, and the emperor is deceived by the treacherous ministers. I will go to the capital to serve the king under the will of the previous emperor. If you don't let it go, it will be a great disrespect to the previous emperor, which is a serious crime to kill the nine clans! I will give you ten breaths. If you don't let it go, I will attack you!"

Zhu Di yelled loudly, the Shenji Camp below was ready to go. After one round of shooting, the defenders must have suffered heavy casualties.

"Zhu Di! Now the emperor is wise and powerful. He has long expected that you have the intention to rebel. Don't criticize your ambitions for your ambitions. Rebellion is rebellion, and you can't pass through Zhengyang Gate!"

"Let me go!"

Zhu Di was furious and directed the Shenji Camp to shoot.

So another gunshot was heard, and several soldiers fell from the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the defenders on the city wall also began to fight back, and arrows pounced down like locusts. However, Zhu Di's army was prepared for a long time. Various shields blocked the attack of the arrows, but many soldiers were still injured.

However, the effect of bows and arrows is not as powerful as the flintlock rifle. After several shots, more than half of the defenders on the city walls were killed or injured, but there was a steady stream of troops to supplement them.

"Zhang Fu, you took a hundred people to cut off their origins."

Seeing that this was not a solution, Zhu Di ordered Zhang Fu to cut off their retreat.

Zhang Fu became excited when he heard this. He had not fought for several years and he was finally able to move his tibia today.

Zhu Di encountered strong resistance, and the other six sects were much easier. The defenders were a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yi. In addition, Zhu Di's secretly developed power over the years, the six sects were soon taken down by Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng and Jin Zhong. Monk Daoyan went north unimpededly and had to transfer the northern guards back before dawn. Otherwise, when the defenders from all over Peking came to their senses, they would be a huge threat to Zhu Di.

The defenders of Zhengyang Gate were cut off by Zhang Fu, and eventually surrendered and offered the city gate. So when the sky was dawn, the entire Beiping City was already under the control of Zhu Di.

This night, the people of Peking couldn't sleep all night, and the sound of fighting all night could not sleep. They had not experienced the war for many years. They just hope that things would pass quickly and not affect the harvest this year.

It was dawn and the war in Peking also stopped. The defenders of Jiucheng were either annihilated or surrendered to Zhu Di, and some others took advantage of the chaos to escape to the county towns around Peiping.

In this way, Zhu Di not only controlled the city of Beiping, but also had more than 10,000 surrendered troops.

In addition, at dawn, Daoyan had already brought the royal guards who had been transferred to the north, and there were nearly 30,000 troops in one go.

Peiping was defeated, but the matter was far from over. This was just the beginning. Zhu Di knew this well, so he still had a lot to do.

"Sdao, you lead the guards to follow me to Tongzhou. That is the gateway to Peking and must be in your hands."

When Daoyan and his people came back, Zhu Di wanted to take him to Tongzhou, because Tongzhou was the gateway to Peking and the granary of Peking. If the imperial court sent heavy troops to guard it next, the little food in the city of Peking might not last long.

Daoyan is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He has accumulated decades of passion, so he naturally burst out. Now he can no longer be considered a monk. The so-called escape from the void has disappeared.

So the sun just rose the next day, and Zhu Di led a team of men to Tongzhou, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu went north to Changping, and Qiu Fu led his army south to Fangshan, Liangxiang. He had to form a buffer zone for Beiping City in a short time. Only when the imperial army came would there be time to prepare.

So when the people of Peking went out, they saw not the downtown of the past, but the solemn atmosphere. The blood on the ground indicates the battles last night.

Pacifying the people is a very important task. Now that Zhu Di and a group of generals have gone out, this task naturally falls on Xu Miaoyin.

Her condition has improved since all her sons came back last year.

Now that her husband has embarked on a difficult road, she must stand up. If the people are in chaos, what if Zhu Di defeated the entire Beiping Metropolitan Office? I'm afraid he can't even clean up this mess, let alone compete with Nanjing.

Xu Miaoyin's gentle and elegant reputation is usually well-known. With her coming forward, the people of Peking naturally became much more peaceful. After all, they have lived under the rule of the King of Yan for decades. If there is any major event, they just need to live honestly.

The people of Peking became stable, but the Wuming Mansion became nervous. Gao Ren was already fully armed and guarded the Wuming Mansion's large courtyard. The women were also nervous. They didn't know what was going on outside, but they knew that it was definitely not a good thing, because the screams last night were so loud that they couldn't sleep.

"We'll be fine."

Lan Tingyue held Gao Ren's arm and looked very nervous.

"Don't worry, with me here, there will be no problem with the Unknown Mansion." Gao Ren glanced at Lan Tingyue, and then saw a little baby stumble over.

"Arhan, carry Ming'er in." Lan Tingyue walked over and picked up Gao Ming, handed it to a woman's hand and said.

The woman nodded and carried Gao Ming in. This was the son of the manager, so there was no problem.

"Brother Ren, Ming'er is only two years old, so it's impossible for him to have something wrong." Lan Tingyue came to Gao Ren's side and said with some concern.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I'll go and see it. None of my cloth shops have any problems, and there are no riots on the streets. I believe that King Yan has completely controlled Peking. Now his army should be attacking the counties around Beiping."

At this moment, Su Rina walked in through the gate of the Unknown Mansion and seemed to have given a breath.

In the past two years, she used Hu Ye’s money to develop the nameless cloth shop into the second largest cloth shop in Peking City. She already has three branches, and she can be said to be an absolute big businessman.

But she is still the blood of Mongolian nobles in her bones, and she knows when to care about what she should care about.

Now that Peking is in chaos, she naturally guessed that Zhu Di was going to rebel.

But just now she saw Xu Miaoyin comforting the people. I believe that Zhu Di must have won the battle last night.

Although Gao Ren has been away from the army for many years, he also knows that Zhu Di's true choice is to do so. However, once he rebelled, he will definitely be suppressed by the imperial army. Can Zhu Di's 20,000 troops really succeed?
