Chapter 469: Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, died
Zhu Youxiao was originally reminded by Wang Hongyu and was prepared.
Therefore, Wei Zhongxian immediately led Jinyiwei and the people of Dongchang to protect him and the crown prince Zhu Cijiong.
"Not good! There are a batch of drawings in the Qianqing Palace! That's the weight of the Ming Kingdom!"
The apocalypse insisted on returning to the Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty! The rebels don't know that the drawings are precious, let's retreat to Xuanwumen first, and wait until the Imperial Horse Supervisor comes back and the Marquis of Dingyuan comes back, and it's not too late to recapture the Qianqing Palace and save the drawings!"
Wei Zhongxian exerted his wit and used every reason to persuade Tianqi not to return to the Qianqing Palace.
Apocalypse thought about it, the rebels were setting fires, the three major halls were already burning, and the drawings couldn't be saved.
"No, I'll bring back the blueprints!"
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly shouted while pulling, "Your Majesty, just draw the drawings again!"
"Dongchang, Jinyiwei! Do your best to protect the prince!" Zhu Youxiao roared angrily, broke away, and Wei Zhongxian rushed back towards the Qianqing Palace with a limited number of guards.
"Old Wei...... There are some things that miss the inspiration, but they may not be able to draw ......."
This is an important drawing related to the industrial revolution of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao values them more than his own life.
A large number of new buildings, new gas engines, new breech-loading muskets, new collision fuse shells, and drawings of a large steam ironclad chariot.
This is the result of his painstaking efforts for several years, which is related to the key design drawings of the Ming Dynasty to become a world power, and he resolutely returned to the Qianqing Palace to protect the drawings.
happened to meet Cao Huachun's rebels, although there were few rebels, but they came prepared, and a burst of crossbows shot indiscriminately, hitting Zhu Youxiao's abdomen.
Zhu Youxiao clung to the drawings and would never let these treasures turn into ashes.
"Da Ming! Chinese! These technologies and inventions are needed!"
He didn't stop to stop the bleeding, let alone surrender to Cao Huachun, he ran all the way with the drawings, even if he was hit by an arrow in his back and the blood flowed, he still protected the drawings from being contaminated by bloodstains.
Wei Zhongxian hurriedly answered and escorted him to the safe Xuanwu Gate.
The drawings were saved.
Zhu Youxiao lost too much blood, his face turned pale and he fainted.
Half an hour later, the Emperor of the Great Tomorrow Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao, died.
......
After Zhu Youxiao's sacrifice, his younger brother Zhu Youzhen, who has been caring for him since he was a child, was overjoyed.
Zhu Youzhen issued an edict to the world, stating that Wang Hongyu was plotting rebellion, saying that the leader of the rebellion in the capital was Wang Hongyu, and that he believed that Wang Zhu Youzhen was quelling the rebellion and was quelling the rebellion.
He also secretly contacted Huang Taiji, expressed peace talks, and worked together to eliminate Wang Hongyu.
Yuan Chonghuan led his army to continue to attack Coal Mountain and Houhai, and also claimed that "with my soldiers, horses, money, and food, I will capture Wang Wei alive".
At the critical moment when Houjin had just been attacked by the general attack, Zhu Youzhen, Ye Xianggao, and Yuan Chongfa staged a coup d'état, and they became the saviors of Huang Taiji.
Originally, the Ming army had crossed the Liao River and forced the Huang Taiji, who avoided the battle, into the cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang.
As long as the heavy artillery is in place, the siege will be won, and the field battle will be able to break the enemy.
Huang Taiji had no choice but to abandon the city and flee, and get into the Salhu Mountain.
However, the coup took place five days earlier than planned.
According to the plan, the civil officials and scholars would make trouble first, and the court should not be able to distinguish who was the mastermind and who was instigating, so it didn't come to arrest people so quickly.
Drag it out for a few days, and then resist arrest when you arrest someone.
But who told the apocalypse to be on guard, he locked up the inciting officials as soon as possible, and immediately sent troops to suppress them.
Zhu Youzhen had to detonate Wang Gongchang in advance and assassinate the Emperor of the Apocalypse.
Two days later, when the carrier pigeon sent three urgent letters from Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Weixian, and Meng Biao, 300 heavy artillery pieces had already arrived 30 miles west of Shenyang.
"Alas! These traitors have become the saviors of Huang Taiji and Jiannu!"
Wang Hongyu knew that as soon as the Emperor of the Apocalypse died, with the prestige of Zhu Youzhen, the king of letters, among civil officials, it was enough to make half of the prefectures and counties in the world submit and thirty percent of the soldiers and horses obey his orders.
As soon as the clever Huang Taiji heard the news, he would hide in the mountains and hide from the cats, not fighting with himself but dragging it down.
If it drags on, there is a risk of being hit from the front and back.
If Date Masamune, the Netherlands, and França take the opportunity to make trouble, the islands of Shikoku, Wajima, Kansai, and the Malay Peninsula that they had eaten before would be in danger.
"Withdraw!"
Wang Hongyu ordered the Ming army to withdraw to the west of the Liao River.
Zhang Shenwu, who had gone out of the mountains and had already arrived outside Shenyang, missed the third brother in this way, and looked at each other from afar but could not see each other.
Fortunately, I quickly retreated.
As soon as he arrived in Guangning, he heard Yuan Chonghuan's arrogant slogan of "With my soldiers, horses, money and food, I will capture Wang Wei alive".
Wang Hongyu ordered the army to march quickly and went straight to Shanhaiguan.
......
For three days, the capital was still fighting in the streets.
The rebels had already attacked the imperial city, and it turned out that Zhu You had planted people at the city gate, but they were cleared out by Wei Zhongxian.
The rebels who rebelled in the imperial city have been cleared by the Jinyi Wei Dahan General and the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the rebels in the palace have moved ahead of schedule because of the secret exposure. If there is chaos when the rebels attack the Forbidden City, it is estimated that Zhu Youzhen will be able to control the palace smoothly.
But the west of the city is very dangerous.
There are thousands of people who led the Nanhai Zijing army.
and Zhu Chunchen made a comeback, leading a group of family members to become the main force of the rebels.
They brought a few assault guns and bombarded them for half a day before they opened a hole in a sack full of soil behind Dong'an Gate.
Zhu Chunchen's family members rushed up with miscellaneous soldiers, and as a result, more than a dozen grenades flew out of the gap, killing a large area.
What if you can't get in? can only bombard the city wall, because the cannonballs into the soil are not much use at all, Zhu Chunchen doesn't understand these at all, and thinks that God is doing something.
Or did a gunner pluck up the courage to tell him:
The shells can go up to a few feet deep in the soil, and it is estimated that there are at least a few layers of sacks in the doorway, so it is estimated that it is useless to fight like this, and they can continue to reinforce.
"Then fight manpower and go around multiple city gates and walls to kill in!"
Zhu Chunchen and Gao Qiqian had an advantage over Wei Zhongxian, who held on to the harem and coal mountain.
Wei Zhongxian also had a headache here, and could only hope that after the Imperial Horse Supervisor dealt with the rebels in the east of the city, he would quickly come back to the rescue.
A few years ago, because the new first assistant was interfered with by Ye Xianggao's remaining party, Zhu Youxiao never completely controlled the outer court, and always maintained a balance.
After the new first assistant was squeezed out, the Donglin Party still controlled the cabinet and the six ministries, and Zhang Weixian could only play a supervisory role.
In addition to the fact that the Imperial Horse Supervisor really has no reliable strength to enter the imperial city to guard, Zhu Youxiao is still incapable, and with Wang Hongyu as a backer, he should have controlled the government a long time ago.
Zhang Weixian also overestimated his own ability, and he was far from being an opponent of the Donglin Party in internal fighting, and without Zou Yuanbiao's checks and balances, the Donglin Party and other parties completely controlled the outer court.
Wei Zhongxian had no choice but to come up with a way to block the city gate with a pre-prepared soil bag, and it really worked.
The battle had already been released in the outer city, and several rebels were intercepted and killed by the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Horse Warden.
The situation in the capital became scorching.
