The destruction of the Yulin Guard was like a small stone thrown into the surging waves, and it was soon submerged in the sea of ​​people behind, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp behind were still charging to the death.

They are not short of spiritual pillars at this time.

The emperor Zhu Youjian, who looked at them from behind, was their spiritual pillar, and the court promised to give pensions to the deceased and would support their families.

This made many soldiers in Beijing no longer fear death.

In this era of chaotic thoughts, loyalty to the emperor still occupies the mainstream, but this is not worth mentioning to many upper classes.

But for the lower classes, they did not have too much contact with those ideas. With just one word from the monarch, they could enjoy allegiance with enthusiasm.

This is a war of right and wrong, loyalty and rebellion.

"Kill!" The soldiers behind shouted desperately, rushed forward with great strength, and were quickly shot to the ground by bullets, but the soldiers behind continued to move forward.

But their succession could not bring them victory, and it was impossible to even make a step forward. Under the fierce firepower, the Beijing camp was beaten to retreat continuously.

"Sir Shangshu, the firearms of the thief are too sharp, and we can't rush through the battalions!" A general with blood on his head led his head to Yang Sichang and knelt down and cried.

"If you can't rush over, you have to rush over." Yang Sichang closed his eyes, then opened it suddenly and said, but he didn't dare to see the general's miserable situation.

He was also bleeding in his heart, who could be so heartless?

At this time, Chongzhen was also watching. He stood on the wall of the Forbidden City, holding a monocular telescope made in Shandong in his hand, and staring condescendingly.

Life passed away in his eyes.

However, he still could not rush through the firepower line of the Shandong Army, or even could not touch the corners of the Shandong Army. At this time, Chongzhen saw that the rear formation of the Shandong Army had already set up dozens of artillery pieces.

"Boom boom boom..."

The sound of cannons like thunder sounded one after another. Chongzhen put down his telescope and closed his eyes under the warm sunshine. The warm sunlight shone on his body, but his heart was cold.

"Go back to the palace!" Chongzhen turned around for a while and said.

"Go back to the palace."

...Zhao Yan was waiting for the battle report outside the imperial city. When he heard the fierce resistance in the city, he immediately transferred the artillery battalion. About one-third of the artillery battalion's 220 125mm howitzers entered.

For a moment, the sound of cannons in the city was loud, and howitzers fell from the heads of the soldiers in the Beijing camp like rain. All the soldiers in the Beijing camp were suddenly in powerless panic.

When people face such powerful weapons, they don't know how to fight back.

Only powerlessness, wandering and panic.

The Beijing camp, which vowed to resist to the death, quickly retreated under the bombing of howitzers.

"Everyone moves forward." Wang Zheng immediately seized the opportunity and ordered his move forward.

Under the cover of the artillery battalion, the second battalion quickly advanced in the imperial city, and then the third cavalry battalion rushed into the imperial city and quickly rushed on various streets.

Cavalry are naturally not good at street fighting, but they are like fish in water on the open imperial city passage, as long as they don’t go deep into those alleys.

The morale of the Jingying collapsed collectively and he had no intention of resisting any more.

When the court was bound to be defeated, any kind of pension was the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror. What's more, the Shandong army came to clear the emperor's side, not to kill him.

As long as you kneel down and beg for surrender, you will not be in danger of your life!

After the morale collapsed, the Jingying camp was directly in chaos. No matter how Yang Sichang's supervisory team cut and killed, they could not stop the soldiers from defeating.

Some soldiers even cut their weapons at the supervising personnel, and many supervising personnel lay directly in pools of blood, which caused even greater defeat.

Just like a flood that broke the dam, the Beijing camp was completely finished.

Wang Zheng began to attack the soldiers of the Beijing camp who were still resisting in the imperial city, while the Third Cavalry Battalion arrested people everywhere and captured the defeated Beijing camp.

The gate of the Forbidden City is still closed. It is the emperor's bedroom. The court is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at the door. Usually, civil officials and military generals have no chance to enter.

Good news in the city kept coming out, Zhao Yan showed a sneer on his lips and ordered: "Catch Yang Sichang alive."

"yes."

The messenger quickly entered the city.

After a while, there was a shout of "Catch Yang Sichang alive." Yang Sichang heard the shouts of Shandong soldiers under the Forbidden City, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Yang Sichang drew out the Shang Fang sword and crossed it to his neck.

"Supervisor, no!" Seeing this, the guards next to him quickly took off the Shang Fang sword in Yang Sichang's hand. Yang Sichang shouted: "Don't stop me, don't stop me."

However, Yang Sichang was quickly mounted by a group of guards to stop Yang Sichang's suicide.

The battle lasted until noon. Under the scorching sternness, the Jing camp in the city died and surrendered, and a group of Shandong generals Yang Sichang surrounded him.

"Put down your weapons." The Shandong soldiers shouted loudly.

"Put down your weapons... Put down your weapons." Under constant coercion, Yang Sichang's guards threw down their weapons one by one and were quickly controlled.

Yang Sichang was captured on the spot, but he looked very calm.

Seeing that the imperial city had been controlled, Zhao Yan rode his horse into the city. After a while, he listened to the reward. Yang Sichang had already captured him, and Zhao Yan couldn't help but smile.

The scapegoat for clearing the monarch this time is Yang Sichang.

Although Yang Sichang was only responsible for making suggestions, the court would make peace and ban the "Da Ming Dynasty Yuebao", Jimin Inn and ban the people from immigrating to Shandong were all the intentions of Chongzhen.

But Chongzhen was obviously unable to move for the time being, and Zhao Yan was not so proud that he had enough troops to quickly pacify all provinces in the Ming Dynasty after replacing Chongzhen.

Soon, Yang Sichang was taken to Zhao Yan.

When Yang Sichang looked like a thin bone fairy-like look, he was taken to Zhao Yan, and when he saw the young man sitting on the horse wearing silver armor and a sword on his waist, he immediately knew that this was Zhao Yan.

"Rebel, you dare to commit suicide. If you ignore the power of the king, you will definitely die a bad death..." Yang Sichang glanced at him and cursed.

Zhao Yan looked at him with a smile, sneered, and smiled at Yang Sichang, "I want to see who will not die well first." Then Zhao Yan rode his horse to the Forbidden City, and Yang Sichang was dragged down by two soldiers, but he was still shouting and scolding, and spitting everywhere.

Zhao Yan laughed and left in front of Yang Sichang.

...In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chongzhen was wearing a dragon robe and majestic seat on the dragon throne. Two palace maids beside him were holding screen fans, and two eunuchs Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun stood on the left and right.

There were a row of great Han generals standing in the hall, but these great Han generals were obviously absent-minded and occasionally looked out of the hall.

At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, knelt on the ground and cried, "Emperor, the Beijing camp has been defeated."

"Where is Yang Sichang?" Chongzhen asked slowly.

"I've been arrested." The little eunuch replied. Chongzhen closed his eyes again and breathed a long sigh. He leaned on the dragon throne and said, "Let's open the city! Come and meet with Zhao Yan."

"Yes, the emperor."

...The battle in the imperial city is coming to an end. Zhao Yan came to the outside of the Forbidden City. Suddenly the city gate opened and a team of eunuchs walked out of it.

"The emperor has an order to make the Shandong General Zhao Yan meet with him." The eunuch shouted loudly.

Zhao Yan heard it in the distance, but did not step forward, but said to Qin Zhiyuan: "Take people to enlighten the way."

"Yes." Qin Zhiyuan led a hundred personal guards and rushed forward, ignoring the eunuchs, and rushed in directly through the palace gate.

After a while, the soldiers in the city were controlled.

The soldiers and horses in the Forbidden City completely lost their confidence in resistance. Under such circumstances, they would definitely be fools who would resist again.

"Young Master, the danger ahead has been cleared." Qin Zhiyuan ran back from the city gate and said to Zhao Yan.

"Follow me to the palace to meet the saint." Zhao Yan said loudly, then rode his horse forward. When he came to the group of eunuchs, Zhao Yan asked, "Where is this father-in-law?"

"The emperor is in Tai...the Palace of Taihe..." The eunuch replied to Zhao Yan with trembling body.

"Thank you, my father-in-law, go." Zhao Yan hugged his fists, then rode his horse directly into the Forbidden City.

Zhao Yan and five hundred personal guards rushed into the Forbidden City, then galloped on the open road and rushed towards the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Soon, Zhao Yan came to the steps of the Supreme Hall. Zhao Yan stopped his horse and stood there. Looking at the magnificent hall, he felt very moved.

In just four years, he grew from a small landlord in the countryside to the point where he could touch the throne of imperial power, which shows how corrupt and weak this dynasty is.

The biggest weakness of this dynasty is that it does not have a professional army, and its military logistics are extremely bad.

"Shut Shandong General Zhao Yan meets with him."

Suddenly, the Han general in the hall shouted loudly and passed it to the outside of the hall one by one. Zhao Yan turned over and dismounted, and led a group of personal guards to the steps of the Supreme Hall.

When I walked into the hall, there was not a single civil and military official in the hall.

Chongzhen sat majestic on the dragon throne and looked directly at Zhao Yan and walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony with a group of fully armed soldiers. Zhao Yan slowly walked into the hall and looked around, but did not salute immediately.

The two eunuchs Wang Chengen and Cao Huachun were also unintentionally scolded. Several of the Han generals next to them were even trembling all over, and they lowered their heads and dared not look at Zhao Yan and the others.

After a while, Zhao Yan took two steps forward, half kneeled down, and said loudly: "See my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, I am disturbing the emperor, and I deserve to die."

The personal guard behind him also half-kneeled down at the same time, but it was silent.

"Your dear, please calm down!" Chongzhen's expression calmed down a little when he saw Zhao Yan like this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhao Yan stood up and said to Chongzhen: "If Your Majesty has no objection, Ming said that Yang Sichang will be executed to serve as a warning to others."

"What crime did Yang Sichang have?" Chongzhen was immediately slapped on the dragon throne. Zhao Yan said expressionlessly: "Yang Sichang bewitched the emperor and banned the "Da Ming Yuebao" and Jimin Inn. However, these are all trivial matters, but bewitching Your Majesty and Jianmen to propose peace and prohibiting the people from immigrating to Shandong is a serious crime. If it is not punished, it will not be eliminated."

"Then if you want to kill me, just kill me." Chongzhen said angrily, "It's all my ideas, it has nothing to do with Yang Sichang."

"Your Majesty is so serious, I naturally know that this is what Your Majesty means. However, Yang Sichang has to be punished." Zhao Yan directly ignored Chongzhen's anger and said calmly that the scapegoat must be found.

"You..." Chongzhen pointed at Zhao Yan angrily, and Zhao Yan smiled and said, "At the same time, I have also prepared some things for Your Majesty."
