Outside Puzikou City, corpses are everywhere, and snowflakes are floating on the messy corpses, which is extremely desolate and desolate. A large fallen flag on the ground, the word "Ming" on it has been blurred in the mud and snow.

A soldier with a wide-brimmed hat ran desperately through the snow and accidentally kicked a corpse and fell to the ground. He immediately rolled over and stared at the roaring iron horse with frightened eyes, his hands pressed on the snow behind him, and he kicked his feet wildly and moved his body backwards.

The banner with "King Gaoyang" fluttered in, and on a big brown horse, Zhu Gaoxu, who was in iron armor, stabbed at the soldiers on the ground with a cherry spear. But the cherry spear was suddenly retracted, and Zhu Gaoxu said loudly on horseback: "Surrender, you can avoid death!" ”

"The general spares his life!" The soldier finally shouted.

Zhu Gaoxu then accepted the cherry gun. The soldier turned over from the posture of sitting on his back, knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "General Xie for the grace of not killing, thank you for the grace of not killing!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "I am the king of Gaoyang County. ”

In the distance, there were shouts one after another from the black pressure of a group of people: "King Gaoyang is mighty! King Gaoyang mighty ......"

Zhu Gaoxu looked back, his thick eyebrows frowning slightly.

The round-faced rough man next to him said: "The prince's merits, the soldiers can see it!" In the morning, the battle was unfavorable, fortunately, the prince defeated the elite cavalry of the official army, otherwise how could the army of King Yan attack and defeat Sheng Yong on all sides? ”

Zhu Gaoxu was silent, and he no longer pursued the router, so he collected his troops and went to the Chinese army's large array.

Not long after, King Yan came with a bloody sword, and Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and hugged his fists and said: "Father, the Sheng Yong army has all broken up, and the Zhuma team is still pursuing!" King Yan sighed: "This battle is a great achievement! ”

Zhu Gaoxu immediately said: "It's all because our father and son are of the same heart, my father is in charge of the Chinese army, and my sons are rushing into battle, this is because the Jingnan army won the official army, and the father won Sheng Yong!" ”

King Yan looked at him and nodded with great satisfaction.

Several generals came one after another, congratulating King Yan on his victory, and Zhu Neng shouted with his mouth open: "After this battle, there is no one in the official army!" ”

King Yan rode his horse and ran for a while, turning his head to look at the vast surface of the river.

At this time, Zheng He said in a deep voice: "Last year, King Gaoyang and the slaves and maids in Beijing failed to make an appointment and did not see Chen Xuan. But at that time, the city was full of people, searching with the portrait of King Gaoyang. Chen Xuan must be able to guess what is going on, and he can also understand our sincerity. Don't worry, Chen Xuan should come to surrender! ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone saw that the sails on the river in the distance were like clouds, and a large number of ships were coming to the north of the river.

In less than half an hour, a military general came to report: "Lord Wang, the official and military governors Chen Xuan led the river division to surrender!" ”

"Hahaha......" King Yan suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, his brows were also stretched, and there was a celebratory sound around him, "I can cross the river on the day of my master!" ”

King Yan smiled, turned the horse's head, patted Zhu Gaoxu on the shoulder twice, and said, "If there is no Gaoxu, how can I cross the river?" ”

Everyone seemed to think that Zhu Gaochu would get carried away at this time, but Zhu Gaochu responded very sincerely: "If the son is not the son of his father, he doesn't know where to sell straw shoes now!" How can the grace of the world be compared to the grace of parents? ”

"Hahaha!" The generals burst into laughter again.

King Yan pointed at the sky with his sword, opening his arms as if hugging the entire river, and the meaning of hesitation was written on his face. What he is about to embrace is not only the great river, but the whole world, more than a dozen political envoys, more than 1,000 counties, and hundreds of millions of subjects.

…… Chen Xuan led the sailors to surrender, and the river was in no danger to defend, and the government and the opposition were shaken.

Supervise the impeachment of Xu Zengshou, the governor of the left capital: befriend Chen Xuan and collude with Yan Rebellion. Xu Zengshou defended in court, but the angry emperor Zhu Yunwen picked up his sword and stabbed Xu Zengshou to death on the temple with his own hands!

Xu Zengshou covered his stomach with his hands, blood came out from between his fingers, he fell on his back in a pool of blood, looked at the golden dome of the main hall with an unwilling face, struggled for a while and still couldn't close.

When the ministers left the imperial city, outside the Donghua Gate, Fang Xiaoru handed the reins of the horse to a child and walked towards Lian Ying head-on. At this time, Lian Ying realized that the person leading the horse was not a child, but a dwarf.

Fang Xiaoru glanced at Lian Ying, then followed his gaze and turned his head, hugged his fists and said, "He is my adopted son Fang Zhongyi." Then Fang Xiaoru praised and said: "Even the imperial history is iron-clad and loyal, which is very admirable." ”

Lian Ying said: "It's just a matter of seeking government in his position!" Since I am supervising the imperial history, isn't it my duty to impeach the unscrupulous ministers of the court? How can you be afraid of someone who is in a high position? ”

At this moment, an indignant voice said: "There are really many people who are afraid now!" If all the ministers abide by their duties, why should the country be like this? ”

Lian Ying followed the sound and looked, it turned out to be the imperial historian Jingqing. Lian Ying said: "There are difficulties in the community, only death, why be afraid?" ”

"Good! What a one, what to fear! Jing Qingdao, "Sheji is in trouble, I will die with Lian Gong to repay the emperor's kindness!" ”

Fang Xiaoru was also busy: "Count me in." ”

The three of them immediately looked generous and bowed to each other in unison to show their admiration.

……

The Yan division crossed the river, and the defenders of Zhenjiang and other cities surrendered without a fight. Sheng Yong gathered the remnants of the army and resisted the enemy at Gaozi Port. Zhu Gaoxu led 10,000 cavalry to rush out, and found that this group of officers and troops could not resist rushing at all, and the iron cavalry rushed over, and before they reached the front of the battle, many soldiers of the officers and soldiers abandoned and ran! In less than two moments, Zhu Gaoxu divided the Sheng Yong Great Array into front and back, left and right, and Sheng Yong's army was defeated. By the time the main force of the Yan Division arrived at Gaozi Port, the officers and troops had become a chaotic army.

There was some sporadic resistance along the way, but the Yanshi Iron Cavalry was unstoppable, and the momentum was like a bamboo.

During the Lantern Festival in the fourth year of Jianwen, it took only ten days for the Yan division to cross the river, and the troops had already approached the city of Beijing, and more than 200,000 troops gathered near the Waijinchuan Gate.

This festival is destined to have no peaceful and prosperous atmosphere.

The cold wind mixed with snow flakes whistled in the air, and in the hazy snowflakes, the majestic city towers stood like mountains, and the continuous tall city walls blocked the front, and the left and right sides were not visible.

King Yan took a list from the general's hand, looked at it, and handed it to Zhu Gaoxu next to him.

Zhu Gaoxu also looked down, it turned out to be a "Guilty Edict" issued by Emperor Jianwen, and he probably took a look at the important parts: the Quartet Division, the Political Division, the Judicial Division, and the ministers of the Imperial Guard, Wenwu, and the ministers of the Imperial Guard, at the time of the national crisis, each led the righteous and brave people to the King of Que Qin to support the sect and society......

Qin Wang's soldiers did come one after another, but before the Yan division arrived at the Jingshi City, they were defeated one after another. What can really stop the elite of Yan Shi is just the wall in front of him.

Zhu Gaoxu handed the edict to other generals and said to King Yan: "Erchen promised Zhao Hui, who guarded Qianhu at the Waijinchuan Gate, and asked him to be a concubine. and Li Jinglong also wrote a note. As long as they are still guarding the outer Jinchuan Gate, they should open the city gate. ”

"Hmm......" King Yan was still staring at the city gate. The surrounding soldiers and horses are like a sea of people, and the flags are like clouds all over the ground, as long as the people in the city are not blind, they can see that Yan Shi is coming.

But the city gate has not yet opened, and time has passed little by little, and King Yan's expression is also a little anxious.

The construction of the city of Nanjing is huge, large and strong, if you really want to defend it, only with more than 200,000 troops, you really don't want to take it easily, just attack the city I don't know how long it will take! What's more, the Yan division fought continuously, and now the soldiers and horses are exhausted, at that time, more soldiers and horses of King Qin will arrive, and if there are generals in the court and the central government, there will be a bloody battle under the capital division......

After a long time, suddenly there was a heavy sound of "......rattling" from the outer Jinchuan Gate, and the city gate slowly moved. The heavy gate gradually opened, and a burst of cheers shook from Yan Shizhong.

King Yan immediately led his army to pat his horse and rush over. At this time, Li Jinglong, Gu Wang, Zhao Hui and others came out of the city with messy soldiers and horses, and there were blood stains on Zhao Hui's face.

Li Jinglong and the others dismounted and knelt on the ground, and said: "King Yuyan, Zhang Qianhu, the guard of the Outer Jinchuan Gate, is on duty, leading the army to block the door, and does not listen to moderation. We fought a battle and didn't win it, and we saw that the imperial court reinforcements were coming. The situation is very critical, but fortunately, the personal soldiers around Zhang Qianhu suddenly stabbed him to death from behind! ”

After hearing this, King Yan asked, "Who is the name of the soldier?" ”

Li Jinglong said: "Yao Fang." ”

King Yan then transferred troops to control the outer Jinchuan Gate first, and then advanced to the inner city of Jinchuan Gate.

The army was under the inner city gate, the city gate had been quietly opened, and the last defense of the Beijing division surrendered without a fight...... Starting from the city gate and road, it continues to the street, and the two sides are full of civil and military officials.

Prince Yan led the iron cavalry and swaggered into the city gate.

At this moment, suddenly a shout came from the air: "Usurp the king with a minister, cripple a nephew with an uncle, and die violently!" ”

Countless soldiers who were stubborn and stubborn turned their heads to the right one after another, and on the empty street, the sound of horses' hooves of "da-......da-da" came, and they saw a civilian official wearing a red official uniform, holding a long sword, riding alone and rushing over to kill!

Everyone was stunned, Zhu Neng took the lead in blocking the right side of King Yan, waiting for the civil official to rush close, Zhu Neng took the cherry gun to stop the waist and patted it gently, and the civil official screamed and fell off the horse. Suddenly, all the soldiers rushed up, picked up knives and guns and slashed and stabbed the people on the ground, and blood was thrown everywhere.

King Yan pointed to the remains on the ground and asked the official kneeling next to him, "Who is this person?" ”

One person replied: "If you return to the King of Yan, this person is the superintendent of the Imperial Shi Lianying." ”

King Yan looked murderous and snorted. At this time, he said again: "Gao Xu, you lead the army as the vanguard, and go to the imperial city immediately!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu hugged his fists and said: "Order!" ”

Zhu Gaoxu then greeted the soldiers who had just entered the city, patted his horse and left. He crossed the pool of blood on the ground and turned his head to look at the bloody appearance of the civil official.

At the beginning of the "Battle of Jingyan", Zhu Gaoxu was looking forward to the arrival of the day of victory all the time, but when this day really came, he did not feel the ecstasy of expectation.

The cold air and the smell of blood in his nose made him faintly feel ...... Terror and killing have just begun.
