The Imperial City, a treasury in the east of the city.

The door of the storehouse was closed, and there was a messy and dull sound of footsteps, and hundreds of pro-army soldiers swarmed towards the storeroom, and if you looked closely, you would find that these pro-army soldiers had white strips of cloth wrapped around their left arms.

"Open the door, open the door!" When they arrived at the door of the warehouse, a pro-military attache stepped forward and knocked on the door with his fist.

"What's going on?" With a knock on the door, the door opened, and a hundred households led dozens of soldiers out of it, looking at the pro-army military attache with an expressionless face and asked.

"This official was ordered by the Marquis of Wenshan to take Duke Wu to Daming Gate." The pro-military attache who knocked on the door replied quietly.

"Why do you look a little scared!" Hearing this, the Baihu looked up and down at the pro-military military attache who knocked on the door, and said vigilantly, and subconsciously pressed his hand on the handle of the waist knife.

Wu Guogong is an extremely important person, it stands to reason that Wen Shanhou should send his own soldiers to take Wu Guogong, how can he let others take him away?

Moreover, the shouts and killings in the inner city had already reached the imperial city, which made the hundred households know that something had happened in the inner city, so they would lead their soldiers to wait for them, and they had to be extremely vigilant against these pro-soldiers who came to dignitaries.

As soon as the words fell, without waiting for the pro-military military attache who knocked on the door to answer, with a whoosh, a black shadow shot out from the crowd behind him, and pierced the neck of the hundred households with a thud.

The Baihu obviously didn't expect the other party to make a sudden move, and took a step back with his hands on his bloody neck, looking at the soldier behind the military attache who knocked on the door in shock, his eyes were full of disbelief, as if he didn't believe that he had been killed like this.

"Brothers, rescue Wu Guogong!"

Under the horrified gaze of the hundred households, a voice sounded among the soldiers behind the military attache who knocked on the door, and Li Hongyu, who was carrying a longbow, walked quickly to the front, pointed to the warehouse door with the longbow in his hand, and shouted, "If you resist, you will not be killed!" ”

"Kill!" After hearing Li Hongyu's order, the pro-army soldiers behind him waved the weapons in their hands and rushed towards the soldiers standing in front of the door, making those soldiers hastily forced to retreat.

The Baihu who was hit by an arrow in the neck glanced at Li Hongyu opposite, he had already recognized Li Hongyu's identity, the corners of his mouth squirmed and wanted to say something, but his mouth spat out a mouthful of blood, and then his knees fell to the ground, and then he fell down, and after a few convulsions, he was silent, his eyes were wide open, as if he didn't believe that he was dead.

Li Hongyu handed the longbow in his hand to the soldier on the side, glanced at the 100 households who fell to the ground and walked into the warehouse gate expressionlessly, where does he have time to entangle with this vigilant 100 households now, since it has been determined that Wu Guogong is in the warehouse, then what he has to do is to rescue him as soon as possible.

Obviously, the soldiers defending the warehouse were all cronies of the Marquis of Wenshan, and it was difficult for them to surrender to Li Hongyu, so Li Hongyu did not plan to surrender these people, and directly used force to solve the problem.

Speaking of which, Li Hongyu was able to successfully rebel against those pro-military military attachés in the quadrangle thanks to the military system set by Ming Taizu, because the Ming army implemented the hereditary system of military positions, and the self-defense command made the following military positions hereditary by a family, so that the senior generals of the Ming Dynasty lost the right to appoint and dismiss the army.

In this way, the control of senior generals over the army has been greatly weakened, and the sense of identity and belonging of those hereditary military attaches to senior generals has fallen to the lowest point in history, and it is the emperor who gives them official positions rather than those senior generals, which makes it difficult for those hereditary military attaches to take the lead of senior generals at critical moments.

The New Army is just the opposite of them, and the power to appoint and dismiss personnel is in the hands of military attachés at all levels, which makes the New Army have a strong cohesive force and sense of belonging, and meticulously carry out the military orders issued.

It is precisely because of the hereditary military position in the pro-army that Li Hongyu successfully rebelled against those pro-army military attaches with his personal charm, and then gave King Fu and Zheng Guifei a fatal blow, so that the defense of the imperial city on which he relied was broken from the inside.

The defenders in the warehouse obviously did not expect them to be attacked, so the pro-army soldiers who were superior in numbers and defected to Li Hongyu broke up the formation between the warehouses, and after resisting for a while, they saw that there was no chance of victory, and they learned that it was Li Hongyu who led the troops, so they chose to surrender one after another.

To Li Hongyu's surprise, not only was the Wuguo Gong Mu Chongfeng locked up in the warehouse, but the British Duke Zhang Weixian and the few nobles who were under house arrest by Zhang Guang were also there.

In this way, even if Zhang Weixian's cronies and generals of the Beijing army want to save Zhang Weixian, they are helpless, after all, the relationship between the Beijing army and the pro-army is bad, and the only way for them to save Zhang Weixian is to pass the pro-army level.

For Li Hongyu's sudden appearance, the British Duke and Wu Guogong and others were very surprised, especially the people who followed Li Hongyu to save them turned out to be pro-army, which made them feel a little unbelievable, you must know that Li Hongyu had no contact with the pro-army before, who would have thought that those pro-army generals who would say it in a short period of time would be subdued.

Due to the urgency of time, Li Hongyu did not explain too much to the British Duke and Wu Guogong and others, but led them to rush to the Daming Gate while introducing the current situation to them, the current priority is to take the Daming Gate, put the new army outside the city in, and then suppress the pro-army in the imperial city, forcing the pro-army to give up resistance and surrender.

Because they were wearing pro-army uniforms, although they met a lot of chaotic pro-army teams on the road, no one doubted the identity of Li Hongyu and his party, and then they arrived at Daming Gate smoothly.

Along the way, the brows of the British Duke and the Wu Guogong and other nobles were tightly furrowed, and the panicked pro-troops along the way made them lose face in front of Li Hongyu, if it was not the new army but the enemy who attacked the imperial city, then how could the imperial city be defended by these disorderly pro-troops?

Because the guards of Damingmen had already warned the pro-army in the imperial city, when Li Hongyu and his party arrived, Damingmen had already gathered many panicked soldiers, talking with each other, no one thought that the new army would hit here so quickly.

The British Duke and the Duke of Wu knew from the frightened looks of those pro-army soldiers that the pro-army soldiers were afraid of war, once the new army broke through the city gate, then it would definitely lead to a rout, in that case, where would the pro-army face exist, and where would the royal majesty be?

"Grandpa Guo!"

Soon, the pro-army soldiers gathered on the road noticed Wu Guogong who was following Li Hongyu, and they all got out of the way, looking at Wu Guogong with a surprised expression, knowing that Wu Guogong had disappeared since the death of Emperor Wanli and had not been heard from.

As Li Hongyu and his party marched, the soldiers on both sides of the road gradually fell into calm, looking at Li Hongyu and the British Duke, Wu Guogong and others in surprise, and they didn't know why they appeared here.

In this way, Li Hongyu and others came to the Daming Gate smoothly under the gaze of the pro-army soldiers on both sides of the road, and the guards on the upper floor of the city gate hurriedly brought people down to greet them after receiving the report, and were shocked by the appearance of Li Hongyu and others.

Originally, the guards on the city gate tower were reluctant to come down, but because there was a staircase passage leading directly to the city gate tower inside the Daming Gate, he couldn't stop Li Hongyu and others from going upstairs at all.

Therefore, the guard general could only reluctantly go downstairs to greet him, although Li Hongyu and the British Duke could not manage him, but Wu Guogong was the left governor of the pro-army capital and happened to be his immediate boss.

The only person who can compete with the Duke of Wu Guo in the pro-army is the Marquis of Wenshan, the right governor of the pro-army capital of the Protectorate, but in order to participate in the two ceremonies tomorrow, including the Marquis of Wenshan, almost all the senior generals of the pro-army capital protectorate returned to their homes in the inner city to prepare.

Now, the only middle and senior generals in the imperial city are the guards of Damingmen, who are the trusted generals of the Marquis of Wenshan, and the Marquis of Wenshan would never have thought that the guards would face Li Hongyu and the Duke of Britain and the Duke of Wuguo, otherwise he would never return home.

"Open the gates!" After the guard saluted, Wu Guogong said to him with an expressionless face.

"Grandpa Guo, you can't open the door without a holy decree, and you still hope that Grandpa Haihan." Hearing this, the guard frowned, bowed to Wu Guogong, and replied solemnly.

"Emperor Daxing has an edict, the new army cannot return to Beijing without a holy decree, and now that the new army is coming, there must be a holy decree of Emperor Daxing to enter Beijing!"

Hearing this, Li Hongyu stepped forward, looked at the guard general with a serious expression and said, "This official believes that the new army must have the holy decree of the Great Emperor in its hands, otherwise it will definitely not return to Beijing!" ”

"Li Hanlin is reasonable, you open the city gate quickly, this is the military order of this duke, there must be no mistake!" When Wu Guogong heard this, he immediately bowed his head slightly, and then said to the guard general in a deep voice.

"Returning to China, I can't open the city gate without the imperial concubine's will." The guard gritted his teeth when he heard this, and bowed to Wu Guogong again, but he knew the serious consequences of opening the city gate, so he had to refuse no matter what.

"How dare you disobey my father's military orders?" Wu Guogong's face was gloomy when he heard this, and he glared at the guard.

"Grandpa Guo, the law of the country is here, and I hope that Grandpa Guo will forgive me." The guard's face suddenly became very ugly, and he bowed to Wu Guogong and said, large beads of sweat oozed from his forehead due to nervousness.

"The law of the land?"

Wu Guogong suddenly sneered, "You also know the law of the country?" Don't think that your father doesn't know about those dirty things in your heart! ”

"Come on, take down this person who disobeys the military order to my father." As he spoke, Wu Guogong stretched out his hand and pointed at the guard, and shouted at the pro-army soldiers behind him.

Hearing this, the soldiers behind Wu Guogong rushed towards the guard, and the soldiers brought by the guard immediately met him and confronted Wu Guogong's people.

"What, you want to rebel?" Seeing this, Wu Guogong suddenly became furious and shouted at the soldiers under the guard.

When those soldiers heard this, they couldn't help but show a panicked look in their eyes, they just rushed up to meet them, and they were suddenly flustered by Wu Guogong's roar, and they were confused.

"This duke will give you a chance, retreat quickly now, otherwise this duke will be engaged in military law." Wu Guogong didn't want to lose face in front of Li Hongyu and the British Duke and others, so he shouted to the soldiers who were blocking in front with a cold expression.

Those soldiers looked at each other for a while, and then retreated with interest, although they were the personal soldiers of the Daming Gate guard, but in the face of Wu Guogong and the pro-army soldiers who obviously supported Wu Guogong on the scene, if they resisted, they could only ask for their own hardships.

"Grab it!" Wu Guogong's face softened slightly, and then pointed at the iron-faced guard and shouted, as long as he took this guard, then the control of the Ming Gate would fall into his hands.

At this moment, no one stopped those personal soldiers under Wu Guogong from arresting people, and the guards of Daming Gate were quickly arrested and taken down to be detained, and the situation in the imperial city was about to change dramatically.
