I am finally out of the control of that unfilial son!

When the carriage drove into the west gate of Tianjin Acropolis, Emperor Chongzhen was really relieved. From the Huangji Gate incident until just now, his life has been held in the palm of his son's hand! He never knew when he would have some food.

Died from poisoning!

So in the past few days, he really couldn't eat or sleep well. He didn't dare to touch the food that Wu Xiang and Huang Dabao had people bring to them. But people are like iron and rice is like steel.

You will starve to death if you don't eat for one meal, but you can't bear it if you don't eat for a few days. So Emperor Chongzhen had to ask Empress Zhou to stutter.

When the food was delivered, he looked worried about the country and the people to the point of losing his appetite, so he left Zhou Hou to eat alone. When Zhou Hou had almost eaten, he didn't look like he had any food poisoning. He ate the leftovers.

The next... An emperor, because he was afraid of food poisoning, picked up the leftovers of the queen and ate them, and even said that he was practicing frugality in the face of a national crisis. It was really not easy!

But now it's better. The people who protect him when he enters the Tianjin Acropolis are not the soldiers of the Seventh Battalion controlled by the prince, but the troops of the loyal minister Cao Youyi and the good eunuch Cao Huachun. Although there are only 3,000 people, it is enough for Chongzhen to protect himself.

In addition, there are 4,000 elite soldiers from Tianjin Town Army and Tianjin Patrol Bureau! Cao Huachun also has 1,500 brave rural soldiers outside the city to escort the people and their families who have followed Wang Qingtuo all the way.

In other words, Emperor Chongzhen felt that he could control as many as 8,500 troops, which exceeded the 7,000 men under the prince's command. He had the upper hand in numbers! But how to seize power? Now that the Ming Dynasty is like this, it is not suitable for a fight.

A big war between father and son, right? Will there be a Ming Dynasty after the war?

If there is no war... Zhu Cixiang's methods of deceiving people are too powerful, and he has a lot of money and the support of traitorous officials in the court. It will not be easy to regain power!

Just when he was thinking about how to launch an attack and force his son to hand over his military power and money, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly heard a heartbreaking cry: "Open the Qianjin Gate! Release the Qianjin Gate quickly..."

That's right! Put up the Thousand Jin Gate to block that bastard Cixi outside the city! This is a good idea! Chongzhen clapped his hands, and just when he was about to applaud this idea, there was a sudden cry that almost scared the soul of Emperor Chongzhen away.

Rings.

"Welcome King Chuang! King Chuang's soldiers are here! Welcome King Chuang..."

The king's soldiers have arrived? How is this possible?

Emperor Chongzhen quickly opened the curtain of the car in front of him and looked out. What caught his eye was a waving red flag. The red flag was embroidered with the word "Chuang" in Douda, which was the military flag of Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang!

The person waving the flag was a strong man with sideburns, his voice was like a bell, and he roared: "Catch the faint king, welcome the king of Chuang..."

Surrounding the strong man are all strong men in white hats and blue clothes, holding spears, swords and shields, forming a battle formation.

Cao Huachun, who had long served as the eunuch of the Jingying camp, recognized at a glance that the group of rebels who came out of nowhere were the old soldiers of King Chuang!

The old eunuch screamed: "Your Majesty, this is a rebellious old soldier..."

After all, Cao Youyi is a veteran general who has experienced many battles. He is much calmer than Cao Huachun, who has never been on the battlefield. Faced with a sudden change, he immediately shouted: "Protect! Protect!"

Someone actually listened to his greeting!

The servants of the Cao family who guarded Chongzhen's chariot were quite capable. They immediately picked up the chariot and horses and surrounded the chariot and horses that Emperor Chongzhen and the Queen of Zhou were riding in. Cao Youyi himself also let out a loud cry and pulled out a waist knife.

He pulled it out. The light of the sword was like snow, which was eye-catching. After drawing the sword, he immediately rushed to cover himself in front of Emperor Chongzhen: "With Cao here, who dares to touch His Majesty?"

As soon as he finished speaking, someone shouted loudly: "I dare you!"

The shout came from the second-floor window of a restaurant on the right side of Cao Youyi. Cao Youyi turned around and saw Tianjin Bingbei Daoyuan Yuzong standing there. This guy was originally waiting for him outside the city. I don’t know when.

He sneaked into the city and set up an ambush. A large number of archers also appeared on both sides of the street, and everyone had their bows and arrows ready.

"Do it!"

As Yuan Yuzong shouted loudly, arrows rained down immediately on Weiximen Street in Tianjin!

Cao Youyi reacted quickly. Before Yuan Yuzong could say "do it", he dragged Emperor Chongzhen out of the carriage. The surrounding Cao family servants had already set up shields to protect Chongzhen. Then

Cao Youyi did not care about the defense of men and women, and took out the Queen Zhou who was so frightened that she screamed repeatedly, and threw it to the two palace maids Wei Qinghui and Wu Wanrong. The two old ladies and the palace maids were loyal and protected them with their bodies regardless of the danger.

After Zhou Hou stayed, Cao Huachun also reacted. He quickly grabbed a shield, rushed to the three women, and used the shield to cover them. Only then did Zhou Hou save his life and avoid being shot into a hedgehog.

However, some of the nobles, chamberlains, palace servants, Cao Huachun's servants who had no armor to wear, and the Chinese soldiers under Cao Youyi who followed Chongzhen and Zhou Hou's carriage were not so lucky. They were immediately shot by falling arrowheads.

Turned a piece!

After the rain of arrows, more ambush soldiers rushed out from the alleys on both sides of Ximen Street. They were all wearing the Ming army's mandarin duck war jackets, but they had white cloths wrapped around their heads to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. There were also some soldiers under Cao Youyi and Cao Huachun.

He reacted in time and charged forward with his weapons brandished! The two sides were immediately entangled, their weapons intersecting, and screams and curses suddenly mixed together!

Many people even rushed toward Cao Youyi, but were chopped down by General Cao's soldiers with their swords. Yang Weihan also pulled out the long knife from his waist and led a group of servants to fight out of a small alley, heading straight for Emperor Chongzhen.

The location where he was was killed. The people who set up an ambush in the Tianjin Acropolis today were the 1,000 patrolmen he led plus the three to four hundred people of Hao Yaoqi. The number was not large, only half of Cao Youyi and Cao Huachun. But.

However, they were prepared and unprepared, and they had the concept of "the arrival of the king's soldiers". Their morale was much higher than that of Ercao's men. They immediately killed Ercao's soldiers and were caught off guard. They screamed again and again. I don't know how many Ercao's soldiers there were.

Cao's trusted soldiers fell down covered in blood!

Over there, Cao Youyi and Cao Huachun had already protected Chongzhen and Zhou Hou and retreated towards the city gate. But at the Tianjin Wei East Gate, the shouts of killing also started. It turned out that it was Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian who were leading a hundred servants and two Cao

The soldiers started fighting.

The cry of "release the thousand-jin gate" just now was Jin Bin's voice. Fortunately, the dozens of patrolling soldiers guarding the city tower listened to his words and released the thousand-jin gate in time. Otherwise, Zhu Cixiang would have asked Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu to lead them.

The soldiers came in!

However, the Thousand Jin Gate made of thick wooden boards alone could not stop Zhu Cixi for too long. If Chongzhen could not be captured before the Thousand Jin Gate was breached, the situation would take a turn for the worse.

The two thieves Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian also took the risk and personally led the team to fight and rushed to the front. However, their charge was quickly blocked by someone. It turned out that Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Tianjin, went crazy. The old man held a three-foot green spear in his hand.

Standing in the middle of the street, he shouted loudly: "Brothers who have received the silver reward from Master Qiantose, let me hold it back! There are still 50 acres of paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River... fight with the traitors!"

Hearing his roar, the panicked soldiers of the Tianjin Central Army cheered up. Each wielding their swords and spears, they rushed towards Jin Bin, Lou Guang and the others first. Although these were ordinary soldiers, their martial arts and strength were not as good as those of Jin Bin and Lou Er.

They are servants, but there are so many of them and they have so much money, General Lou is blocking them!

At the east end of Ximen Long Street, Hao Yaoqi had already brought hundreds of old soldiers from the Dashun Army to fight. The combat effectiveness of the old soldiers from Dashun was not as good as that of Wu Sangui's retainers, but they could compete with the retainers of ordinary Ming army generals.

In comparison, Dashun had just captured Beijing, and Chongzhen Hunjun was about to be killed by them. Therefore, each of them had the momentum to sweep through thousands of armies and conquer the world. Cao Youyi and Cao Huachun's men could not resist them when they charged.

In addition, Hao Yaoqi was better at using troops than Cao Youyi. Although he only had three to four hundred men, he still formed a wedge-shaped assault formation. Hao Yaoqi himself held a drop knife (three-pointed two-edged sword) and rushed into the wedge.
