Chapter 452: The Power of Thunder
Soldiers have a herd mentality, as long as one person follows Zhu Di, it will immediately cause more people to follow Zhu Di, so Zhu Di was bewitched, and those soldiers who had no backbone had to follow Zhu Di into King Jingqin.
Zhu Di was very satisfied with his speech level, and gathered thousands of soldiers so easily.
"Clean up all of this place, go and call Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu and the others."
After dealing with the matter in front of him, Zhu Di is about to start the entire Beiping City, after all, there are still tens of thousands of imperial troops in the entire Beiping, and they will not be as easy to fool as these soldiers in front of him.
Soon, the corpses in front of the Yanwang Mansion have been cleaned up, and the soldiers who surrendered have also been arranged to the place where the palace guards were stationed before, Zhang Yu, Zhang Fu, Qiu Fu, Daoyan, Zhu Neng, Jin Zhong, and Zhu Di's henchmen who have been subdued in the past two years have all come to the Yanwang Mansion.
Although it has been cleaned up now, the smell of blood in front of the Yanwang Mansion can't hide the bloody reality just now, so when Zhang Yu and the others walked to the door of the Yanwang Mansion, they already knew that the troubled times were coming.
The most excited is naturally Dao Yan, this is the result he wants to see most after following Zhu Di for more than ten years, and today, it has finally become a reality.
After entering the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Di went straight to the point, "Qiu Fu, you led a thousand soldiers to attack Xizhimen and Fuchengmen, both of which have our internal causes, and it is not difficult to take them." ”
"Zhu Neng, you lead a thousand people to attack Dongzhimen and Chaoyangmen."
"Jin Zhong, you lead a thousand men to attack Andingmen and Deshengmen."
"Si Dao, you break through the siege at night, go to the north to transfer troops, and transfer all my 20,000 guards back."
"Zhang Yu Zhang Fu, you go with me to attack Zhengyang Gate, Xuanwu Gate, and Chongwen Gate, these are the three city gates that Zhou Yi focuses on defending, and the people who defend the city are also his henchmen, this is the real tough battle."
Zhu Di's series of orders came down. Everyone was ordered to go, and this is the duty of a soldier.
"Zheng Da, you lead the secret guard to control the political envoy and the envoy, before dawn tomorrow, I want Beiping to be in my hands, not just the Yanwang Mansion!"
Zhu Di gave an order, and Zheng Da took the order and left.
After that, Zhu Di took Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu away from Yanwangfu, went all the way south, and led the army to Zhengyangmen.
Zhengyangmen is the gateway to Beiping and has always been the focus of Zhou Yi's defense. In his opinion, if Zhu Di has a bad plan, he must take Zhengyangmen, and only in this way can he go straight to Nanjing. Therefore, he transferred his most elite Shenwu guards to Zhengyangmen, Xuanwumen and Chongwenmen, guarded by thousands of heavy soldiers, and he couldn't do Zhu Di to take down three gates.
However, he also dreamed that Zhu Di had indeed rebelled, but it was no longer him who commanded the battle, but one of his lieutenants. He could only sigh on the other end.
The Zhengyang Sanmen tower is very high, easy to defend and difficult to attack, when the Ming Dynasty army attacked the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, it paid a heavy price. Most of the casualties were in the attack and defense of these three gates.
Seeing the torch teleportation under the castle tower, the lieutenant knew what was going on, no matter how stupid he was.
And Zhou Yi has not come back now, so there is only one possibility, that is, he was killed by Zhu Di.
"Open the gates for me!"
Zhu Di stood under the Zhengyang Gate. He yelled loudly at the defenders on the castle tower.
"Zhu Di! You dare to rebel against the condemnation of the world! As the commander of the imperial court, this official will never let go of such a rebellion as you! ”
The defenders are a thrifty commander and a senior official on weekdays. But now, he is just a general guarding the city gates, and if the city gates are lost, he will know what will happen to him.
"Hmph, the traitorous ministers in the court, the emperor is confused by the traitorous ministers, this king entered the king of Jingqin by the edict of the first emperor, and if you don't let it go, it is a great disrespect to the first emperor, and it is a great crime to punish the nine clans! This king gives you ten breaths of time, if you don't let go, this king will attack! ”
Zhu Di roared loudly, the Shenji battalion below was already ready to go, and after a round of shooting, the defenders must have suffered heavy casualties.
"Zhu Di! Now that the emperor is wise and martial, he has long expected that you have the intention of rebellion, so you don't want to criticize the coat for your ambition, rebellion is rebellion, you don't want to figure it out! ”
"Let me go!"
Zhu Di was furious and ordered the Shenji Battalion to shoot.
Then there was another burst of gunfire, and several soldiers fell from the walls.
Immediately afterwards, the defenders on the city wall also began to fight back, and the arrows pounced down like locusts, but Zhu Di's army had already taken precautions, and all kinds of shields blocked the attack of arrows, but there were still many soldiers who were injured.
However, the role of the bow and arrow is always not as powerful as the flintlock pistol, and after several shots, the defenders on the city wall suffered more than half of the casualties, but there was a steady stream of soldiers to replenish it.
"Zhang Fu, you take a hundred people to cut off their way."
Zhu Di saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he ordered Zhang Fu to cut off their back road.
Zhang Fu became excited when he heard this, he hadn't fought for several years, and today he was finally able to move his shins.
Zhu Di encountered strong resistance on his side, and the remaining six gates were much easier, the defenders were originally a little dissatisfied with Zhou Yi, coupled with the power that Zhu Di had secretly developed over the years, the six gates were quickly taken by Qiu Fu, Zhu Neng, and Jin Zhong, and the Daoyan monk went all the way north unimpeded, and transferred the northern guards back before dawn. Otherwise, when the defenders in Beiping come to their senses, it will be a great threat to Zhu Di.
The defenders of Zhengyangmen were cut off by Zhang Fu, and finally surrendered and sacrificed the city gate, so when the sky was just dawning, the entire Beiping City was already under Zhu Di's control.
On this night, the people of Peking could not sleep all night, and no one could sleep at the sound of fighting all night, they had not experienced the fire of war for many years, and they only hoped that things would pass quickly and not affect this year's harvest.
At dawn, the fighting in Beiping also stopped, and the defenders of Jiucheng were either annihilated, or surrendered to Zhu Di, and some took advantage of the chaos to flee to the counties around Beiping.
In this way, Zhu Di not only mastered Beiping City, but also had more than 10,000 surrendered troops.
In addition, by the time dawn, Dao Yan had already taken the royal palace guards who had been transferred to the north before, and there were nearly 30,000 horses at once.
Beiping is defeated, but the matter is far from over, this is just the beginning, Zhu Di knows this, so he still has a lot to do.
"Si Dao, you lead the guards to follow me straight to Tongzhou, which is the gateway to Beiping, and you must hold it in your hands."
As soon as Dao Yan came back with people, Zhu Di wanted to take him to Tongzhou, because Tongzhou is the gateway to Beiping, and it is the granary of Beiping.
Dao Yan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the passion that has been accumulated for decades has naturally erupted, and now it can no longer be regarded as a monk, and the so-called escape has also disappeared.
So the sun just rose the next day, Zhu Di led a team of men and horses to Tongzhou, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu went north to Changping, Qiu Fu led the army south to Liangxiang Fangshan, it is necessary to form a buffer zone for Beiping City in a short time, and when the imperial army comes, there will be time to prepare.
So when the people of Beiping went out, what they saw was not the bustling city of the past, but a burst of murderous atmosphere, and the blood stains on the ground indicated the big battle last night.
It is a very important job to pacify the people, and now that Zhu Di and the generals have gone out, this work naturally falls on Xu Miaoyin.
Since all her sons came back last year, her condition has improved.
Now that her husband has embarked on a difficult road, she must also stand up, if the people are in chaos, what if Zhu Di knocks down the entire Beiping Division? I'm afraid I won't even be able to clean up this mess, let alone compete with Nanjing.
And usually Xu Miaoyin's reputation for gentleness and grace is outside, with her coming forward, the people of Beiping are naturally much calmer, after all, they have lived under the rule of King Yan for decades, and King Yan is on top of any major things, they just need to live honestly.
The people of Beiping settled down, but the Nameless Mansion became nervous, Gao Ren was already fully armed in the big courtyard of the Nameless Mansion, and the women were also nervous, they didn't know what was going on outside, but it was definitely not a good thing to know, because the screams last night were so loud that they couldn't sleep.
"We'll be fine."
Lan Tingyue hugged Gao Ren's arm, looking very nervous.
"Don't worry, with me, there will be no problems in the Nameless Mansion." Gao Ren glanced at Lan Tingyue, and then saw a little doll stumbling over.
"Arhan, take Ming'er in." Lan Tingyue walked over and picked up Gao Ming, handed it into a woman's hand and said.
The woman nodded and hugged Gao Ming in, this is the son of the manager, there can be no problem.
"Brother Ren, Ming'er is only two years old, can't he have an accident." Lan Tingyue came to Gao Ren's side and said with some concern.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen, I went to see, there are no problems with my few cloth villages, and there are no riots on the streets, presumably King Yan has completely controlled Beiping, and now his army should have been attacking the counties around Beiping."
At this moment, Su Rina walked in through the gate of the Nameless Mansion, and seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
In the past two years, she has used Hu Ye's money to develop the nameless cloth village into the second largest cloth village in Beiping City, and has three branches, which can be said to be an out-and-out big businessman.
But she is still of Mongolian aristocratic blood in her bones and knows what to care about when and when.
Now that Beiping is in chaos, she naturally guesses that Zhu Di is going to rebel.
But just now she also saw Xu Miaoyin pacifying the people, presumably Zhu Di must have won the battle last night.
Although Gao Ren has been away from the army for many years, he also knows that Zhu Di is a real choice to do this. But once there is a rebellion, it will definitely be suppressed by the imperial army, can Zhu Di's 20,000 horses really succeed?
"By the way, when the young master came back last time, he asked me to send that thing to Yanwang's Mansion during the chaos in Beiping, should I send it over now?"
Lan Tingyue suddenly remembered the last time Hu Ye came back to Beiping to explain something, so she discussed it with Su Rina and Gao Ren. (To be continued......)
