The Imperial City of Nanjing and the Forbidden City of Beijing are a one-to-one replica, but the construction of the palace city is larger than that of the Imperial City of Nanjing, especially compared to the imperial garden range.

Chen Cao couldn't stand the chatter of the officials around him in the past few days and asked him to enter the palace to do business, but after thinking about it carefully, it was still not right, so he simply moved out of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and moved the Chinese army directly in front of Hongwu Gate.

The large gatehouse of Hongwumen became Chen Cao's office.

At this moment, Chen Cao was listening to Huang Chunyao's report.

"The military lord can be regarded as a product of honor, and the student discussed it with Xia Yunyi and Bei Tianhua according to the prince's idea, and there is a temporary method, please take a look at it first."

Chen Cao looked at it roughly, then put it aside, and interjected: "Yunsheng, if nothing happens, Jiannu will attack the pass this month or next month." ”

Huang Chunyao was interrupted, and after listening, he gave his hand: "Congratulations to the student, congratulations to the prince, the great cause has begun..."

"Whew..."Chen Cao let out a sigh: "This world must change, otherwise when I become the emperor, I will fall into a cycle of dynastic reciprocation." ”

Huang Chunyao knew what Chen Cao was talking about, so he said: "The prince can rest assured, after Jiannu swept the north, it is just right to disrupt and start again." ”

"I'm worried about the south..."Chen Cao stood up: "Nanzhili is a fire medicine keg, now only Songjiang and Suzhou have implemented the policy of exempting land from taxation, you also know, Suzhou riots, this is only Suzhou;

Wei Zhongxian has been working in Hangzhou for so long and there has been no news, and there are many wealthy families in Hangzhou, so he suddenly gave up his huge family business and replaced it with you, can you rest assured? ”

Huang Chunyao thought about it for a while, and then said: "Lord Wang, you can replicate the model of Suzhou." ”

When Chen Cao heard this, he remembered the vigorous 'fighting landlord' movement in later generations, coupled with the fact that these people have been oppressed for a long time, Suzhou fighting landlords also died at the beginning, once this pattern begins in the whole south, then there will only be more and more homicide cases, if the government does not control effectively, the chaos will become more and more serious, which will lead to rebellion...

However, Chen Cao has been thinking about it recently, if he really wants to implement the exemption of Juntian, he must fight the landlords, and after the fight, he must ensure that the imperial power goes to the countryside, so there will be more students.

But there is also a contradiction, the later Tsar, the King of England and other constitutional monarchies, especially France, are not so gone?

Chen Cao thought about it and thought, it seems that he can only copy the way of Japan and Thailand, the emperor is in charge of military power, let the civil officials govern the country, and at the same time hold the civil officials hostage, let them go to infighting, and there can be many factions, but the ruling party can only be the 'Daming Party' established by Chen Cao himself, multi-party coalition government, one-party autocracy...

Chen Cao thought about it, and felt that it was fortunate that he was a postmodern time-traveling person, and there were many countries to refer to, so he nodded: "I know in my heart, this first step is to reform the military system, the most important thing is to reform the military system, without military power, anyone who speaks is a fart." ”

"Then the prince, when will the exemption of southern Juntian be implemented? Is it according to the Suzhou model? ”

Chen Cao sat down: "Once you fight with Jiannu, you won't be able to control the interior, and I'm worried that if you start a war with Jiannu north of the Yangtze River before the south is cleared, it will make those people in the south who feel the sorrow of Juntian's exemption from the rabbit and the death of the fox be in danger, so in order to prevent chaos, I still agree with Li Yan's statement, first clean up the internal affairs of various parts of the south, and then fight a decisive battle with Jiannu after Juntian is exempted." ”

Huang Chunyao pursed his lips and thought about it, and felt that it was very reasonable, so he nodded: "The student also agrees with the meaning of the prince, and first clears the south, but the student thinks that it should start from Nanjing..."

Fifteen days later, when Chen Cao was inspecting the surrounding areas of Nanjing and preparing to start the implementation of the policy of exempting land from taxation, he rushed into the city of Nanjing on several fast horses and arrived directly at Hongwumen.

Inside the gatehouse, the generals who got the news were coming, and Chen Cao couldn't help but know the news first.

"On April 29, 110,000 Jiannu Manchu Mongolian cavalry broke through the pass of the Great Wall from Huangyayu in Yingzhou and entered the pass, rushed all the way to Jizhou City, broke through Jizhou on the same day, and divided 40,000 troops to advance in the direction of Shanhaiguan; Jingkuan, the governor of Yingzhou, was defeated when he broke through from Jizhou to Yingzhou Zhongtunwei, and then chose to evacuate into the Beijing Division;

On the evening of the first day of the fifth month, the Jiannu vanguard cavalry arrived outside the Jingshi Anding Gate, and the Jingshi was under martial law in the afternoon, and the Jiannu vanguard cavalry did not take advantage of it and withdrew;

At noon on the second day of the first month of May, 70,000 Jiannu cavalry arrived at Andingmen again, and attacked the city several times that day;

The last general was ordered to rush to Nanjing to report the news, but by the time he left on the third day of the first month, there was no news. ”

Chen Cao held back the excitement in his heart, tried to be as calm as possible, and waited until the general arrived before he said, "Everyone, the Jiannu Tartars broke through the pass and entered the pass..."

That night, Chen Cao ordered Weng Linzhi, commander of the Yangzhou garrison, to send three divisions to Shaobo Town to pay close attention to the movements in the direction of Gaoyou.

At the same time, he ordered all the Shenwu troops that had been assembled in Zhenjiang to cross the river and enter Yangzhou to prepare, and also mobilized Pang Zhifan's coastal defense fleet to be ready to respond at any time in the inland river.

The situation in the world...

Big change

On 15 May, several sand boats docked at Longjiang Port, and the disembarkers were Chen Yan, Zou Weilian and other officials and family members of the Beijing Division, and there was no trace of Xu Kaixian.

Chen Cao was not in a hurry, but warmly summoned Chen Yan and Zou Weilian in Hongwumen, these two people were the key to his plan and had great achievements.

After listening to Chen Yan and Zou Weilian's self-reports, Chen Cao nodded before asking, "Dehui, how was the situation in the capital when you left?" ”

Zou Weilian glanced at Chen Yan, and then arched his hand: "The prince doesn't know, not long after the spontaneous saint left first, the capital was under martial law, and Xia Guan Xing went out of the city from the corner gate of Xi'an Gate under the arrangement of Lord Xu, and I really don't know what happened later." ”

"So, fifteen days have passed, and there is no news from Xu Kaixian..."

Zou Weilian said again: "Lord Wang, rest assured, Lord Liao's fleet is still waiting in the outer port of Tianjin, before breaking up with Lord Xu, he said that he would go to Tianjin to take a boat, and the next official and others will take the first step, and it is estimated that there will be news in two or three days." ”

Sure enough, as Zou Weilian expected, on the third day, more than a dozen ships docked in Longjiang, and it was really Xu Kaixian who came down, but Xu Kaixian, who was already a little lame, was not lightly injured this time, and half of his body was wrapped in bandages when he got off the boat.

"Lao Xu..."

"The prince is tormenting his subordinates..."

Chen Cao put down his official duties and went to greet Xu Kaixian in person, as soon as they met, Xu Kaixian bowed his hand and saluted: "Lord, my subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and according to the instructions of the prince, they have successfully completed the task," and said in a low voice: "By the way, I also saved the queen of Emperor Chongzhen and several princesses of Taichang Ye." ”

Chen Cao smiled angrily, and then shook his head helplessly: "You go to rest first, and come to report to me in the evening, Zhao Xin... Bring the people brought back by Xu Kaixian into the imperial city for resettlement. ”

.

There are only Xu Kaixian, Liao Yaowen and Zhao Xin in the gatehouse, these three are Chen Cao's old subordinates, and there is nothing to say.

"According to the orders of the prince, after arriving in the capital, the subordinates studied the evacuation route from the inside out, and lurked in Xiyuan with the special combat team after martial law."

"Xiyuan?" Chen Cao frowned: "How did you rescue Zhang Yan?" ”

Xu Kaixian grinned: "The prince doesn't know, the people of the special combat team proposed to use flying kites to parachute from the top of the coal mountain to Kunning Palace, and the subordinates are not talented, so they can't fly, so they can only take people to answer outside the Shenwu Gate when they do it;

On the third day of the first month, Chongzhen ordered all the troops of Beizhili to enter the king of Qin, and heard that an order was also sent to the Gaoyou defenders, but this time Jiannu and his cleverness, without waiting for the arrival of the troops of King Qin, escorted the puppet army to attack Dongzhimen and Andingmen, and in the evening, Dongzhimen was lost..."

Chen Cao was also shocked in his heart, Jiannu was able to quickly break through the Dongzhi Gate.

"The subordinates heard that the defeated army said that the generals of the Beijing camp had taken refuge in Jiannu, and opened the Dongzhi Gate at the height of the battle.

Chen Cao sighed for a while, and the British Zhang Fu family was ruined.

"After Jiannu broke the outer city, the Beijing division was in chaos, and the formed troops could not be found, so the subordinates took advantage of the chaos to order to save people, and sure enough, according to the people of the special combat team, Chongzhen ordered all the concubines in the harem to commit suicide, and the special combat team accurately parachuted into the Kunning Palace, and killed more than a dozen eunuchs on the spot..."

Saying that, Xu Kaixian smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that the subordinates have the ability, but we don't know Queen Zhang, no matter who the female dependents in the Kunning Palace are, the people of the special combat team are all taken away by Yilulu." ”

Chen Cao, no wonder Xu Kaixian was outside the Shenwu Gate, and he was able to calmly bring him a few more harem concubines.

"The subordinates really don't know about the rest of the matter, but they were chased by Jiannu when they fled, fortunately, our firearms are sharp, and Jiannu didn't care about our people along the way, but chased after the team of those big officials and rich families who fled;

When he arrived in Tianjin, the war had not yet spread, but he was stopped by the men and horses of the Tianjin Guard, and the injuries of his subordinates were the wounds they suffered when they fought with the soldiers of the Tianjin Guard when they boarded the ship;

By the way, the prince, his subordinates almost forgot, on the third day of the new year, the eunuch who was bribed by his subordinates said that Chongzhen said in front of hundreds of ministers: 'I am not the king of the dead country, but you are all the ministers of the dead country'..."

Chen Cao thought for a long time and nodded silently.

Xu Kaixian said again: "The eunuch also said that Chongzhen said no less than ten times that day, 'Donglin Party mistakenly'..."

Chen Cao stood up: "You and Lao Liao are doing well, I know, go down and rest." ”

Zhao Xin personally sent the two away, and then approached Chen Cao: "Lord Wang, do you want to meet those people?" ”

Zhang Yan's appearance is incredibly beautiful, and the queen Zhou is not inferior, Chen Cao thought about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate to go to see him at night, so he shook his head: "I'll go again tomorrow, don't worry about this for a while, I will have to ask Zhang Yan's help when I ascend the throne in the future..."
