After capturing Cixi and Guangxu, Wang Jundao ordered the Tiger Roar Battalion to garrison Deshengmen, incorporated the defenders of Deshengmen, and personally led the Huwei Battalion to suppress more than 200 palace maids and eunuchs, as well as Cixi and Guangxu to Xi'an Gate.

The Second Regiment of the Longwu Army, the Fifth Regiment of the Longwu Army, the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, the Tiger Roar Battalion, the Longwu Army Baggage Engineering Regiment, and the Longwu Army Logistics Regiment, which had already entered the inner city from Fuchengmen, and the baggage transport team and political engineering logistics team that had arrived from Tai'an at the end of July, all drove into the inner city of Yanjing City, and all rushed to join Wang Jundao.

Under the car of Cixi and Guangxu, Wang Jundao drove the army into the imperial city without a single soldier or shot.

As soon as Wang Jundao's army entered the imperial city, with its strict military appearance and military style, the ownerless imperial city, which had begun to be chaotic, settled down in a short time, and the panic atmosphere in the imperial city was completely lifted.

Subsequently, Wang Jundao entered the Forbidden City non-stop, and at the same time deprived the imperial city of the four gates of Dong'anmen, Xi'anmen, [***], and Di'anmen in the east, west, south and north of the imperial city by way of Cixi's edict, and each sent an additional 1,000 dragon troops to garrison the four city gates, and controlled and incorporated the defenders of each city gate.

The 20,000 forbidden troops of the Imperial City were also quickly controlled by Wang Jundao and became Wang Jundao's army, and those Eight Banners old soldiers were seized and controlled.

Subsequently, Zhang Decheng and Pang Wei in the east of the inner city received an order from Wang Jundao to lead 4,000 dragon troops into the imperial city.

At noon on August 15, Wang Jundao occupied the Forbidden City.

So far, the Imperial City of Yanjing City, the Imperial Palace, the Forbidden City, Beihai, Zhonghai, Nanhai, and Shejitan have all been controlled intact by Wang Jundao.

Looking at the majestic, magnificent, great, and profound Imperial City and the Forbidden City, Wang Jundao could no longer raise the idea of emptying all the treasures inside.

He knew that if all the treasures in the imperial city and the Forbidden City were emptied, then the coalition army would attack the imperial city and completely destroy everything in the imperial city.

This is something he absolutely will not allow!

Since the Yuan Dynasty, Yanjing City has been the political and cultural center of the whole China, and the Imperial City and the Forbidden City are the crystallization of Chinese wisdom for hundreds of years, and are the spiritual support of China.

After a short period of thought, Wang Jundao completely made up his mind that even if the power he had established now was completely destroyed, he would keep Yanjing City and the essence of China!

Wang Jundao immediately summoned Wu Wenruo, head of the Heavy Engineering Regiment, Lin Hei'er, head of the logistics regiment, Meng Xingliang, head of the political work regiment, Zhang Decheng, head of the First Regiment of the Longwu Army, Tang Jian, head of the Second Regiment, Pang Wei, head of the Fourth Regiment, Cao Futian, commander of the Fifth Regiment, Fan Zong, commander of the communications battalion, Qin Xiao, commander of the Tiger Wei Battalion, Liu Wei, commander of the Tiger Roar Battalion, Guo Meng, commander of the Tiger Roar Battalion, and Long Zhan, commander of the Tiger and Leopard Battalion, to convene an emergency meeting.

"The Forbidden City is the treasure of my Chinese culture, the crystallization of Chinese culture, I have decided to protect it to the death and save him from the artillery fire of foreign soldiers, I don't have time to talk to you now, so I just need you to unswervingly carry out my orders!" Wang Jundao said to everyone.

"Yes!" Everyone said in unison. They have witnessed the magnificence of the Forbidden City, noble and exquisite, and have long been conquered by the spirit and style of the Imperial City and the Forbidden City.

"Good!" Wang Jundao nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The four battalions of the fourth regiment of Pang Wai are divided into [***], Di'anmen, Dong'anmen, and Xi'an Gate in the imperial city, and the second regiment of Tang Jian guards the Forbidden City and is responsible for all defense in the Forbidden City, the Huwei battalion is responsible for the security in the imperial city, and the Tiger Roar battalion guards the old soldiers of the Eight Banners, I don't want anything to violate military discipline in the army, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" ”

"Yes!" Pang Wei, Qin Xiao, Liu Wei, Guo Meng, and Long Zhan all responded in unison.

"Cao Futian's fifth regiment went to collect the scattered Boxers in the inner city of Yanjing City, if they encountered those who took the opportunity to make trouble or take the opportunity to harm the people, from the high-ranking officials and nobles to the ordinary people, all of them will be killed!" Wang Jundao nodded and continued.

"Yes!" Cao Futian replied.

"Wu Wenruo is responsible for all the baggage arrangements, and must cooperate with all the military defenses in the Imperial City and the Forbidden City. Meng Xingliang used the original personnel and facilities in the imperial city to handle all the government affairs of the imperial city, and at the same time sent political workers into the palace forbidden army, so that they could become our team in the shortest possible time, Lin Heier was in charge of all the logistics affairs of the imperial city, and Fan Zong was responsible for all communications, so it was necessary to ensure the smooth communication between the various departments. Wang Jundao continued.

"Yes!" Wu Wenruo, Meng Xingliang, Lin Heier, and Fan Zong all received their orders in unison.

"When you are in charge of all kinds of things in the Imperial Forbidden City, you only need to control the original departments, let them serve us, and implement our policies as soon as possible, whoever dares to resist will be killed!" Wang Jundao said again.

"Yes!" Everyone's hearts were in the same place, but they still resolutely received the order, because the order of the king was their holy decree.

"Lin Heier and Meng Xingliang cooperate with each other, while handling government affairs and logistics affairs, they must do a good job in propaganda work, people's security work, and medical work, and must let the people in the entire inner city know that the Longwu Army is a benevolent government and people, and can protect the family and defend the country, defeat the army of the great powers, and show our best side to the people of the capital, let them support us and believe in us!" Wang Jundao said.

"Yes!" Lin Hei'er and Meng Xingliang glanced at each other, nodded and said.

"Also, pay close attention to the Manchu nobles in the inner city, if there is any change, there will be no mercy, if the cause is serious, there will be no mercy, and their families will control them and imprison them with those Eight Banner old soldiers." Wang Jundao said again.

"Yes!" Everyone nodded and answered yes in unison.

Wang Jundao then gave a specific order, now Wang Jundao has controlled the entire imperial city and the Forbidden City, what do you want in this imperial city, you only need to take his forces as the leader, control the various departments in the imperial city, and let the people in each department do things according to his wishes and implement his policies, and the rest is not to worry at all, because he has controlled the imperial city with tens of thousands of troops, and there are Cixi and Guangxu as puppets.

And now he controls all the arsenals of the Imperial City, such as the arsenal, the arsenal, the Internal Affairs Office, the Luanjia Warehouse, the Imperial City Silver Treasury, the Xishi Library, etc., and he now has weapons, gold, silver, jewelry, jade, furs, medicinal herbs, porcelain, silk, clothes, tea, grain, salt and iron!

In other words, the treasure trove of China has been completely taken into his pocket.

After the meeting ended, Wang Jundao left Fan Zong alone and said to him: "You must master all the official communication departments in the imperial city and even the entire Yanjing city as soon as possible, including post offices, post stations, and so on.

Also, I will give you two tasks, first, to dredge the telegraph line from Yanjing to Jining in the shortest possible time, and at the same time to build a telegraph line from Tai'an to Jining as soon as possible.

Second, I will write you several top-secret warrants at once, and you must deliver them to the appropriate people as quickly and in the safest way possible. ”

"Yes!"

After writing the warrants sent to Tai Mingyue, Bai Yuncheng, Cui Jingluo, Yang Poyu and others to Fan Zong, Wang Jundao found Li Jinghua alone and gave him a top-secret order.

Wang Jundao asked Li Jinghua to find out the hidden Manchu forces in the capital as soon as possible, and these forces must be uprooted as soon as possible in the future, and they cannot be left as a scourge.

Wang Jundao also asked Li Jinghua to find out all the tainted evidence of the Manchu nobles, and he was not ready to let go of these people, when the time came, he only needed to use various propaganda methods to make the crimes and evidence of these people's crimes public, and he could blatantly raid their homes and exterminate their clans.

Since ancient times, troubled times have used heavy canons, and Wang Jundao is very clear about this truth.

At noon, after ordering everything, Wang Jundao did not stop in the imperial city, but personally led Zhang Decheng's first regiment of the Longwu Army, more than 1,000 pistol battalions, more than 500 assault battalions, more than 300 machine gun battalions, more than 300 mortar battalions, and 20,000 palace forbidden troops with the tiger and leopard battalion as the backbone and the control of officers.

The reason why he took away the palace forbidden army was to keep the time bomb of the forbidden army away from the imperial city, so that his army would have no internal threat in the imperial city at all, and he would be fully capable of defending the imperial cities, and he would personally lead the 20,000 forbidden army to fight, so that this well-equipped palace forbidden army would be consumed in the battle, and at the same time, he would be loyal to him in the battle.

Wang Jundao knew very well that with only a few battles and his propaganda, this army would be surnamed Wang.

Of course, it doesn't matter if the forbidden army is not used by him, he now controls all the materials in the imperial city, even the materials in the inner city, and most of them are controlled by him, as long as he does not provide food supplies to the forbidden army, within two days, the forbidden army will completely lose its combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Wang Jundao is fully confident that he will hold this forbidden army in his hands!
