The Battle of Zhili was actually not basically over until the 20th day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of Yongle (the second year of Hongxi).
It took only one morning for the Han Wang Army to defeat the main force of the official army from the front, but it took even more time to pursue the defeated army to the north.
At noon on the 21st day of the first lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to advance outside Fengtai Gate, the capital.
The central army divided the troops to the various city gates of the capital. Except for this southern city gate, only two hundred-house teams were mobilized to each city gate; the purpose was to control the entry and exit of the people outside the capital.
The capital had already been martial law and the city gates were closed.
However, Xu Huizu lost more than 100,000 troops in the north of Taipingzhou, resulting in the lack of defenders in the capital at this time; it was even more impossible for the court to mobilize the people to defend the city in such a civil war.
The remaining troops of the puppet dynasty are simply not enough to defend such a large city!
Therefore, although the Han Wang army had only tens of thousands, it was still a huge threat to the empty capital.
The right chief Hou Hai was teaching the soldiers how to speak, and asked people to ride horses to the city gate to persuade them to surrender.
During the battle of Huguang, the puppet dynasty lost 700,000 infantry and cavalry in the puppet dynasty, and all the men and horses joined our army to attack the crime.This time, the criminal army has more than one million troops, and they will all march into the capital city every day... There are no more troops in the capital, and it is impossible to maintain the city wall defense line; even if the criminal army attacks for a strong attack, they can go to the capital city one day...
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly snapped his horse and rushed forward. The generals couldn't persuade him and rushed over.
Zhu Gaoxu slapped his horse and rushed for about a hundred steps, looked up and shouted to the city tower: I am Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han.When will you wait for your brothers to surrender at this time?
Zhu Gaoxu ran past the city tower, and there were no artillery fire or arrows above.The city tower was silent.
Not long after, the city gate really slowly opened!
The sound of the thick city gate rubbing on the brick floor seemed to be the most pleasant music in the world, heavy and atmospheric and full of texture.
As the city gate became more and more dynamic, most of the soldiers of the Han Wang army outside discovered it.
The blockbusters immediately came into the sky, and then bursts of huge cheers came.
The cheerful soldiers waved in the air with their weapons, and their shouts vibrated the magnificent capital city.
Fight with me!Wang Bin led the way, waved his hand and rushed out to the city gate that was slowly opening.The iron hooves roared in the cheers, rushing towards Fengtai Gate like a torrent.
The power center of the Ming Dynasty and the richest and most luxurious things in the world have opened to Zhu Gaoxu.
In an instant, he felt that he would take over all this, including the centralization in the capital, the thousands of miles of territory of the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of millions of people.A new power structure is about to be reorganized.
Suddenly, the blue veins on Zhu Gaoxu's forehead bulged, and his face turned red.
Although the result was determined in advance, the moment when the Han Wang Army's cavalry rushed into the capital, a kind of excitement still erupted in Zhu Gaoxu's body again.
The journey was very difficult, but Zhu Gaoxu still realized his original determination: to attack the Ming Dynasty's capital with the roar of cannons and the rush of iron cavalry!
When he thought of the sinister villains and trembling fear at this moment, he felt indescribable happiness!
The city gate opened, as if a vague beam of light shone on Zhu Gaoxu, wearing three layers of heavy armor, riding on a tall horse.
He suddenly felt that he had received true Nirvana rebirth and was baptized by some soul.
Having strength is probably the best thing for a real man!
The past that was once trampled, played with, contempt and betrayed by others is gone forever; now Zhu Gaoxu seems to be able to control his own destiny, even the fate of countless people...
Wang Bin led his troops to control the important points up and down the Fengtai Gate Tower, and dispatched troops directly to Zhengyang Gate in the northeast of this place!Prepare to completely open the road to the Imperial City.
Outside Fengtai Gate, a group of cavalry lined up to open the way, and then replaced it with a series of parallel infantry columns.Crack and Crack... The neat and grand footsteps make people feel very comfortable.
Defeat crimes and seek rebellion!The largest white red flag flutters in the air.The four blood-red words are like flames, with anger, and are naturally filled with the breath of revenge.
Under the escort of the elite cavalry, Zhu Gaoxu also headed towards the city gate.
There are currently no large number of people in the capital city, and it is impossible to organize resistance and ambush in this situation.
After Wang Bin's army occupied the Fengtai Gate fortifications, the army entering the city was almost without any threat.
After walking through the city gate corridor that was more than ten steps thick, the defenders who had already opened the door to surrender were in the urn city.
They went back and forth to Zhu Gaoxu near the banner, and then knelt on the ground one after another. The scene seemed to have completely convinced Zhu Gaoxu.
No matter what the reason is, the King of Han Army won the victory of various major battles with its brilliant record and approached the capital; force is the truth! The power of the iron cavalry and cannon is the truth! At least one of the truths.
Zhu Gaoxu led his army along the brick road, not going to Jubaomen, but heading straight to Zhengyangmen in the northeast direction.
On both sides of the Qinhuai River, pavilions and towers can be seen everywhere, and the willow branches on the river bank have begun to sprout.
The capital, with flowers blooming, was now shrouded in the roar of infantry and cavalry.
The soldiers with rough skin and old and damaged armor were all attracted by this beautiful scenery, and many men couldn't help but squint their eyes and looked around.
Countless people had smiles on their faces, especially those military generals who had made contributions. Such a wealthy scene was waving to them.
The streets are rare, so the people should have been hiding.
However, the capital has a population of at least one million. There are always some people who understand that Zhu Gaoxu, a vassal king, will not burn, kill and rob the people of his country, and at most deal with his political enemies. Some people stand on both sides of the street, watching the destruction army entering the city.
People saw the banner of attacking crimes and rebellion, and the banner of the central army of the Han Wang Army, and bowed to this side.The expressions and behaviors of the world are full of awe.
Zhu Gaoxu entered Beijing today, and it was not sudden.
The rumors that it took only half an hour to defeat 700,000 officials in Huguang for 200,000 yuan had already been circulating in the capital; a few days ago, Duke Wei, the god of the City God Temple and the legitimate son of the King of Zhongshan, the war god of the Ming Dynasty, was defeated, and Xu Huizu was defeated by multiples of his troops, and it took only one morning... Many people in the capital should know about it.
At this time, Zhu Gaoxu was obviously an invincible existence in the battle formation!
The fierce team of troops gradually walked outside Zhengyang Gate.The city gate has been opened, and there are flags with Chinese characters on the city tower.So Zhu Gaoxu led his troops to continue into Zhengyang Gate.
Because Emperor Taizu chose the place where the imperial city was built and only considered the location of Feng Shui, the Zhengyang Gate of the capital was very close to the Hongwu Gate of the south gate of the imperial city.
After the Han Wangjun entered Zhengyang Gate, he arrived outside Hongwu Gate not long after he left.
A group of civil and military officials were already standing inside and outside the Hongwu Gate and waiting. From a distance, there were a large number of officials, including red, green, and green, and those wearing brocade robes!
At this moment, a red-robed official rushed forward and pointed to the flag of "destroying crimes and pursuing rebellion" and cursed: "The rebellious king who used his brother to plot against brothers has entered the capital!
Zhu Gaoxu looked closely and found that it was Yuan Gong.Everyone is acquaintance, but they start scolding people when they meet.
I rode a horse in front and rushed forward, swish swish swish swish swish... Many sabers have been pulled out!
slow!Zhu Gaoxu roared.
After hearing this, the cavalry soldiers and soldiers strangled their horses one after another, and people turned around to watch Zhu Gaoxu.Zhu Gaoxu also took a quick shot and approached Yuan Gong.
Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yuan Gong coldly and thought to himself: Do you want to be Fang Xiaoru, or Lianying, or Tie Xuan?I don’t let you be a loyal minister!
Yuan Gong held his head up and looked like he was ready to die and fearless, and there was a sense of righteousness on his square face.
He wore a black official robe and looked angry, pointing at Zhu Gaoxu and cursed: The rebel king was ambitious, and in order to seize power, he framed the eldest son of the emperor and the late emperor, and killed the Ming generals, officials and civilians. The people and gods were angry, and everyone was punished...
Zhu Gaoxu sneered for a moment and said calmly: Yuan Gong, are you embarrassed to say frame-up in front of me?
Yuan Gong turned around and waved: Dear colleagues, we will eat the priest’s fortune and serve the country with loyalty! The Lord is in the imperial city behind us. If you don’t defend the Lord with your own death, what are you waiting for?
Unexpectedly, the ministers were silent and no one said anything.
Among them are old officials of the Eastern Palace and Gao Chi's confidant officials. They must be both hated and afraid, but they did not stand up immediately at this time. Perhaps they felt that doing things like this would be of no use.
Seeing this, Zhu Gaoxu said: My King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, is the legitimate grandson of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and the legitimate son of the late emperor, shed blood from the Ming Dynasty! Since I was over ten years old, in order to consolidate the northern border of our country and defend the peace and stability of our Ming people, we followed our father to go deep into the bitter and cold land of the northern border, sleeping in the wind and fighting against the cruel traitor tribe! What sin do I have?
This time, the crime of slaughtering the Ming Dynasty officials and killing our own people, just for the truth!What crime is there?
Two years ago, the Eastern Palace party members and Yuan Gong and others closed the palace gates and dispatched troops to kill me before and after the death of the late emperor! I finally came back today, just want to go in and ask my elder brother, what crime did I commit? I have to kill me and then hurry up? Do you still have to use conspiracy to deceive?
The officials were silent.However, the soldiers around Zhu Gaoxu and behind him were moved, and the soldiers shouted together: King Han is our king!
Dear civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, most of them are working hard to maintain the operation of the country and court, so you don’t have to worry.Zhu Gaoxu said kindly, let go, I will go to the palace to see my elder brother.
People made a big move, and Chen Dachui stepped forward and pushed Yuan Gong away.Zhu Gaoxu then led his men to ride horses into Hongwu Gate.
Behind Hongwu Gate is the Qianbuluo Corridor of the Imperial Street. The yamen stations on both sides are simple and magnificent, and the avenue is flat, wide and bright.
As soon as Zhu Gaoxu walked into the door, he turned around and waved to Zhang Sheng over and said in a deep voice: Send Yuan Gong home and send troops to guard all the members of the Yuan family, and no one is allowed to escape!I will slowly deal with these treacherous people!
Zhang Sheng clasped his fists and said: The last one will get the order!
It took only one morning for the Han Wang Army to defeat the main force of the official army from the front, but it took even more time to pursue the defeated army to the north.
At noon on the 21st day of the first lunar month, Zhu Gaoxu led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to advance outside Fengtai Gate, the capital.
