Chapter 70: The Farcical Process

Jingshi, the rumbling sound of horseshoes trampling on the ground came from far and near. Before the pedestrians on the street could react, a team of fans wearing flying fish suits and cross-sword bows galloped over!

Pedestrians and hawkers all dodged in a panic, and for a time the whole street was full of chickens and dogs, and people were in chaos.

“MD! Hurry to reincarnate?! The butcher scolded, slashing the cleaver on the vegetable mound.

"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't want to die?! The stout woman, who was fatter than the fat butcher for a full two laps, dragged her husband into the house and rebuked nervously.

However, while the cautious woman was teaching her husband a lesson, the street was full of scolding.

In recent years, the new monarch has succeeded to the throne, and gradually trusted the officials of the Donglin Party to crack down on the eunuch party, and Jinyiwei, who is the minion of the eunuch party, naturally loses his former power.

At least this power is no longer able to make these fans powerful.

Therefore, the people who were all over the street dared to speak and rebuke angrily.

However, before an hour later, a bombshell-like news exploded inside and outside the Beijing Division! - Rebellion! Rebellion!

Jinyiwei rebelled as a whole, assassinated the current saint in the school field, and brutally killed many ministers who refused to obey. At this time, most of the high-ranking officials in the capital division have been held hostage and the palace has been surrounded!

And the rampaging brocade guards that many people saw on the streets in the afternoon were the ones these people sent to the homes of the ministers who did not accompany the emperor to the Daxiao Field!

It's time to come.

Even the most stupid and dull people know that something big is coming!

Most people did not think that the rebellion would succeed. In fact, the common people are not stupid, especially these people who live in the capital and are accustomed to seeing all kinds of scenes understand how it is possible to easily usurp power with just a group of brocade guards?

Not to mention the army of King Qin in the provinces and nine sides in the future.

Even the Beijing camp inside and outside the capital, and the forbidden army in the imperial city are definitely not something that the 18,000 people of Jinyiwei can resist!

And as an ordinary person.

Whether the rich or the poor in the city, they were most worried not about the royal family, but about their own safety - who knew that in this chaotic army, if a chaotic army rushed in, would they not be killed? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the army is not chaotic, there are many poor and crazy people in this city! Once the crowd is gathered to loot, I am afraid that many people will die.

That's what most people think.

Thereupon.

It was not yet dark, and the doors of most of the houses in the capital were closed. Many families even put heavy objects behind the gate, and the men in the family even copied simple weapons such as wooden sticks, flat poles, and kitchen knives as self-defense.

However.

Most people don't know.

On the other side, the siege of the imperial city went beyond imagination.

Jiang Zhao rushed to the gate tower of the imperial city alone, and after slashing and killing, he opened the gate of the imperial city and put in the Jinyi Guard rebels, and many of the key parts of the forbidden army were repeatedly broken through by him.

In the face of this kind of monster whose speed cannot keep up at all, its strength is infinite, and its body is like steel, where is his opponent for the forbidden army that has been relaxed for decades?

After hundreds of dead and wounded, and seeing the strong strength that Jiang Zhao could not resist, most of the forbidden army surrendered directly.

And after taking control of the Imperial City.

In order to consolidate his scattered rule, Jiang Zhao quickly broke up the forbidden army and reorganized it in the form of Jinyi Guard + Forbidden Army. And the line of fire is promoted, and the brocade guards who will follow him first will be promoted to the next level! Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, Jin Yichuan and others were directly promoted to the rank of Wanhu.

Although there are no actual soldiers and horses under his command, in terms of nominal rewards, it makes the eyes of many 'official fans' or 'undesirables' in the Jinyi Guards and the forbidden army shine.

Things have come to this point, although most people, whether it is the Jinyi Guard, the forbidden army, or the civil officials of the imperial court who have been held hostage and subdued, are not optimistic that Jiang Zhao's rebellion can really succeed.

But since the decaying Ming Dynasty was attacked by Li Zicheng a few years later, almost no one resisted desperately, and most of them collapsed at the first touch.

After the Qing army entered the customs, they knelt on both sides of the street and were killed.

Even if it has been pushed forward a few years now, these people in the court have long since lost much discipline. Coupled with Jiang Zhao's almost mythical demon-like strength and ruthlessness of killing if you don't surrender, most people actually got on this "thief ship" in ignorance, and mechanically followed Jiang Zhao's orders and operated!

This patchwork, monstrous "rebellious court" actually worked so quickly! And under the killing, it turned out to be more effective than the original administrative ability of the Ming Dynasty!

Night.

The Forbidden City is brightly lit.

Two bonfires lit by timber mounds illuminate most of the square.

Countless people dressed as brocade guards, forbidden soldiers, civil officials, and eunuchs gathered here, because the rebellion was too hasty, and no one was even responsible for living and eating.

Jiang Zhao could only temporarily put the eunuchs in the palace, the imperial dining room, and the hundreds of forbidden soldiers who were randomly named in charge of cooking.

The civil servants of the court, who were subservient, were gathered here.

Seeing the chaos around them, many people secretly shook their heads, despising this demonic short-haired man who was simply more stupid and chaotic than the barbarians in the north!

Such a person still wants to sit in the world?

It's better to wait a few days for this man to be defeated! Got caught up in the car, right?! -- Many civil servants looked at it coldly, and they prepared to watch the excitement. But he completely forgot that he did not swear to resist to the death, and he did not fulfill the obligation of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty as a courtier.

Following.

The Beijing army attacked the city.

In less than half an hour, the Beijing army broke through the city gate guarded by only 100 people who had no will to fight, and the Beijing army, which claimed to be hundreds of thousands, but was actually only 100,000, rushed into the city and went straight to the imperial city.

However.

The two armies attacked each other.

In forty-three seconds, the supreme commander of the Beijing army was killed by Jiang Zhao alone.

In two minutes and thirty seconds, the Chinese army of the Beijing army collapsed under Jiang Zhao's frenzied killing.

Three and a half hours - the time spent by tens of thousands of people in order to gather the rebellious army.

In the process of this farce and Jiang Zhao's constant staging of 'charging the army' and 'beheading', five days later, all the inside and outside of the capital were flattened, and all those who surrendered were incorporated into this temporary, large, and miscellaneous rebel contingent.

The huge Gyeonggi region was controlled by such a ridiculous "coup", and the capital of the Ming Empire fell like this, isolated as a country of rebels!
