Chapter 1640 Borrowing the head for one use

In the early morning of August 25th, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Beijing City.

Both inside and outside the imperial city were completely under the control of Zhu Youjian's three thousand Royal Horse Guards and hundreds of Qianqing Palace guards. Wei Zhongxian's party did not even have the thought of resisting, but they were captured by Zhu Youjian. The young emperor's thunder blow was shattered. Although the more than a thousand soldiers guarding Wei Zhongxian looked bright and bright, when it came time for him to sacrifice his life, they really couldn't do anything except beg for mercy and disperse. .

While Wei Zhongxian and Hakka were still crying each other, these Jing troops began to flee towards Xihua Gate and Xi'an Gate. When they rushed out of Xihua Gate, Huang Degong's people had not arrived yet, but they did not They couldn't get out of Xi'an Gate. So they were all blocked in the Xiyuan of the Imperial Palace. Instead of gathering together, they hid everywhere in the entire Xiyuan. Because Xiyuan is a royal garden, and there is a large pool in it. There are several small islands, many palaces and warehouses, and dense forests everywhere, which is a good place to hide people. Huang Degong only had 500 people at hand, so he could not search thoroughly, so he had to seal Xihua Gate and Xi'an Gate. At the same time, they also sent people to patrol back and forth along the walls of the imperial city and the roads in the Xiyuan... There may be "fat sheep" among these purge troops, but we can't let them escape!

As soon as their subordinates dispersed, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka couldn't even run away! Their heads were valuable now. Without the protection of their loyal subordinates, how could they dare to go out for a walk? They had no choice but to go for a walk in Xian'an. I found a small dark room in the palace to hide in... I guess I could hide for a while!

However, the two of them were really good at hiding and hiding. After a while, they were found by Li Chengyun and the original Wei Chengyun.

The two trembling people were dragged to the main hall of Xian'an Palace. When they were still in shock, they saw Zhu Youjian wearing a helmet. The young emperor was sitting on a chair with a golden sword. He was holding a sword with both hands, his face was calm, and there was no trace of joy or anger.

He had just accomplished such a big thing, and had basically controlled the entire imperial city... He was still able to keep his emotions and anger a secret. This scheming in the city was clearly that of a generation. Lord!

Don't underestimate the importance of controlling the Imperial City! It's no longer the Hongwu Year or the Yongle Year... The water within the Imperial City is deep! No one can completely control it after becoming the emperor.

Otherwise Emperor Longqing would not have died 29 days after ascending the throne!

Emperor Tianqi may not necessarily die so mysteriously at the age of 23, and Emperor Tianqi's sons may not all die young!

If the emperor's life and that of his heirs are in the hands of others, what great things can he accomplish?

If Zhu Youjian wants to be the master of the Ming Dynasty's resurgence in this life, of course he must first control his own destiny!

The imperial city must be under the firm control of Zhu Youjian himself!

In addition, the "inner court" based in the imperial city also controls a large amount of property and troops!

In the previous life, Zhu Youjian never thought about how much wealth he had in his name until he was kicked out by his traitor - his eyes were only focused on real money and silver, and he ignored the imperial mansion, imperial store, imperial gardens... ...especially the royal gardens!

Not to mention other places, around the city of Beijing alone, there are four royal gardens including Nanyuan (Nanhaizi), Dongyuan, Beiyuan and Diaoyutai.

The largest of them, Nanyuan, covers an area of ​​300,000 acres! Even excluding the area occupied by lakes, streams, and palaces, there is at least 200,000 acres of land available for distribution.

This is no small number!

Moreover, Nanyuan was a royal hunting ground as early as the Yuan Dynasty. It has not been cultivated for three to four hundred years. How fertile the land must be!

There is a large population around Beijing and the price of food is high, so there is no need to worry about not being able to rent it out.

With such good land, 500 acres is enough to support a family of heavy cavalry!

Just these 200,000 acres, if carefully allocated, can raise 4,000 heavy cavalry.

If Beiyuan and Dongyuan are also divided, 6,000 heavy cavalry can be raised!

With 6,000 heavy cavalry in hand, even if the Donglu can take a detour to enter the pass and approach the city, they should be able to fight.

Of course, if you want to turn hundreds of thousands of acres of royal gardens into 6,000 households of heavy cavalry, you must have an inner court that Zhu Youjian can completely control!

Compared with the land owned by the eunuchs of the Manchu Dynasty, the hundreds of thousands of acres of royal gardens are probably a small amount! If we could confiscate half of the land of these bastards and distribute it to brave warriors who dare to fight...

...Haha, tens of thousands of new troops can be formed!

Then we will send people to Haao to invite some foreign generals and soldiers who are good at using firearms and can organize some Spanish formations to help with the training.

Ping Liao didn't dare to think about it for five years, but at least the Donglu could not come in... If they couldn't come in, they wouldn't be able to grab anything. If they couldn't grab anything, sooner or later they would be poor and weak!

When they were feeling proud, Wei Zhongxian and Hakka had already been escorted into the lobby amidst Li Chengyun's shouts.

"Long live Lord, please spare my life. For the sake of the late emperor, please spare my life..."

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Youjian, who had turned into a heroic figure, he cried and begged. The Hakka family who came with him probably knew that he was going to die, so he did not beg for mercy, but just knelt there and shed tears.

Zhu Youjian ignored them and just sat quietly.

He's waiting...for someone!

He mobilized the three battalions of Royal Horse Guards to attack Wei Zhongxian, killing three birds with one stone.

Wei Zhongxian, Hakka is of course a bird!

If they are not eradicated, Zhu Youjian's emperor will be short-term... There is no possibility of cooperation and coexistence between the two parties!

Those big officials in the inner court who were attached to Wei Zhongxian and the officials in the court who were attached to Wei Zhongxian were the second bird! Of course Zhu Youjian would not eradicate them all... If they were all eradicated, who would be the lackeys and hawks? Dong Dong

Lin Dang? Come to Zhongzheng Yingchao again? Let’s forget it!

However, Zhu Youjian cannot easily let go of these treacherous ministers who are attached to Wei Zhongxian. He must let them know how powerful they are. He must fine them money and land!

And the third bird...should be on its way to Haman Palace now!

Zhu Youjian also has to let them know how powerful he is... He is super cruel!

"Queen Yi'an has arrived!"

The roll call rang out, and the beauty queen Zhang Yan came, bringing her two confidants Wang Yongzuo and Wang Benzheng, as well as a group of young eunuchs armed with swords and sticks.

Last night when the third battalion of the Royal Horse Guards was launched, Wang Yongzuo and Wang Benzheng were both in the palace. They responded very quickly and immediately took their men to Kunning Palace to escort him. At the same time, they also sent people to Wenhua Palace and Xian'an Palace to inquire.

I got the reward this morning and found out that it was Zhu Youjian who suddenly launched an attack and personally went to incite the Third Battalion of the Royal Horse Guards to attack Xian'an Palace!

Such a ruckus, to be honest, was far beyond Empress Zhang's expectations... Why did Zhu Youjian directly use force when things could obviously be solved with power and tactics?

Is this necessary?

"Sister-in-law, please take a seat!" Zhu Youjian stood up, raised his hands to Queen Zhang, and was about to give her the throne under his buttocks.

"No, no," how could Queen Zhang dare to sit on Zhu Youjian's throne? She glanced at Hakka who was lying limply on the ground, and snorted: "Witch, you too have today!"

Zhu Youjian pointed at the Hakka family and said with a smile: "I'll leave this witch to my sister-in-law!"

When she heard that she was going to be handed over to Queen Zhang, she trembled!

"What about Wei Zhongxian?" Empress Zhang pointed at Wei Zhongxian, "This traitor deserves death!"

Zhu Youjian smiled: "Everyone has only one death! The Hakka family will be dealt with by my sister-in-law, and the others... I will deal with them myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone else came to report: "Long live the Lord, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, the British Duke, the former commander-in-chief of the Jinyi Guards, Luo Sigong, and all the bachelors of the cabinet have arrived outside the Huangji Gate."

Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Invite them to Xian'an Palace!" He turned to Queen Zhang and said, "Sister-in-law, I am going to kill someone! Sister-in-law, please stay away!"

"No need!" Zhang Yan gritted his teeth, "I want to see Wei Zhongxian die!"
