Chapter 530: Invasion of Bauhinia City (Second update)
"Zhou Chen, what a Zhou Chen. You have been lurking in the army of our Ming Dynasty for nearly eighteen years. Thief Xiao actually plotted against our Ming Dynasty eighteen years ago! Okay, okay! I'll kill you!"
Luo Guangyuan rushed towards Zhou Chen with an angry face, trying to fight him desperately.
But he forgot that he had never defeated Zhou Chen in previous competitions, and this time was no exception. Zhou Chen easily subdued him.
And the other people present also extinguished the little thoughts in their hearts under the black gunfire all around. Except Luo Guanyin was still hurling insults.
"Yang Guo, not Zhou Chen, haven't you shown any attachment to the Ming Dynasty in the past eighteen years?" Cao Wenzhao asked with a look of reluctance.
"Feelings of nostalgia! Haha, I still miss my brothers who were born and died with me, but I have no nostalgia at all for this Ming Dynasty court, and I even feel extremely disgusted.
You are not me. I have seen the Qingming rule in the Chinese Empire. In comparison, Ming Dynasty is a hell, an eighteenth level of hell for ordinary people.
Originally, I also had a good impression of Zhu Youjian. But only a few years! He began to appoint corrupt officials, re-appointed eunuchs to supervise the army, and began to continuously increase taxes. How can such a Ming Dynasty be worthy of my attachment?
¡°I tell you, I would rather be an ordinary citizen in Taiwan than be a general in Ming Dynasty who could have his head chopped off by civil servants at any time. Zhou Chen said with a sarcastic expression.
The different positions made Cao Wenzhao and Luo Guanyin unable to accept Zhou Chen's statement, but this is no longer important.
Zhou Chen¡¯s operation this time has already begun. He summoned these generals, just to put them under house arrest temporarily.
"General Zhou, to be honest, I was very shocked when I learned that you were one of ours. Over the past ten years, everything you have done has been beneficial to Ming Dynasty. No one could have imagined , you are actually from the Chinese Empire."
Zhang Xiangming said with admiration. Zhou Chen was different from him. He had distinguished himself from Daming from the beginning, and he was even regarded as an opponent in some things.
But Zhou Chen is different. In the eyes of the world, he is a pillar of the Ming Dynasty, second only to Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. Such a person, even in the eyes of most people in the Chinese Empire, cannot be one of their own.
"Haha, General Zhang, these things I have done are not for the Zhu family dynasty, but for the Chinese people living on this land. It is just incidental to my contribution to the Ming Dynasty.
Okay, it's time to do it according to the plan. I think there should be no problem with the arrangements in Beijing, right? "
Zhou Chen doesn¡¯t want to continue discussing this topic. Although he has always stood firm in his position, it is impossible to say that he has no other emotions in his heart. After all, he has lived in Ming Dynasty for such a long time. Before this moment, everyone was still colleagues and comrades-in-arms, but the next moment they became enemies. This is not a good thing for anyone to do.
"Don't worry, the three thousand most elite reconnaissance company soldiers have made all preparations and will act according to the plan as soon as the time comes. And they brought secret weapons this time. With these weapons, the three thousand of them can Block the attack of 300,000 people."
Speaking of the secret weapon, Zhang Xiangming was full of confidence. He had never thought that there would be such a terrifying murder weapon in the world. Except for cannons, no weapon could compete with it. Even cannons are not as powerful as they are under certain circumstances.
At three o'clock in the morning on the sixth day of May, the city of Beijing had fallen into complete silence. Even though Chongzhen had to insist on watching the memorial late at night because of the increasingly severe situation, he fell asleep at this time.
But at this moment, bursts of shouting and intensive gunfire suddenly occurred in the direction of Meridian Gate. People who were far away from the Meridian Gate didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when the sound lasted for more than four or five minutes, they immediately woke up from their sleep. All the ministers sent their servants to Bauhinia City to inquire about the news. When something like this happened in Bauhinia City, it often meant the beginning of a terrifying purge in the capital, so they couldn't help but be nervous.
"What's going on? What happened?"
Emperor Chongzhen had just slept for less than three hours when he was awakened by the sound coming from the Meridian Gate, and immediately roared angrily.
But in just a few minutes, who can give Emperor Chongzhen the correct answer? Therefore, all the eunuchs and maids around looked around at a loss. Even Wang Chengen, who was accompanying Chongzhen, could only send a few young eunuchs to inquire about the news.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something bad is going to happen. Thief Xiao's army has captured the Meridian Gate and is now attacking Fengtian Gate? "
Ten minutes later, a young eunuch stumbled in and reported to Chongzhen in a panic.
"How is this possible with Thief Xiao's army? Can they fly? Where is Yang Guo's army? Where are the three major battalions of the capital? Are they just decorations?"
Chongzhen's anger was immediately ignited. He allowed the Chinese Empire's army to conquer several provinces within a few months, and he tolerated it. However, in the city of Beijing, the enemy had already reached Bauhinia City. He spent a lot of money to build an army of hundreds of thousands. , turned out to be just a fiction.
Chongzhen was wrong. His army was not in name only. Those who entered Beijing were a group of people specially selected by the Chinese Empire from the reconnaissance companies of various field divisions for this plan. It can be said that they were the ace among aces.
Don¡¯t say that Beijing has not been completely closed. Even if it is closed, they will still have a way to get in.
These three thousand people attacked the Meridian Gate on time at three o'clock in the morning, captured the Meridian Gate in less than six minutes, and quickly attacked Fengtian Gate.
They did not leave any manpower to defend the Meridian Gate. After all, they did not have many manpower. It was better to concentrate on one place for defense after taking control of the palace.
Although they heard the movement in the direction of Meridian Gate, the number of Fengtianmen defenders increased by two thousand. However, under the high-intensity attack of the soldiers of the three thousand reconnaissance company, they were also captured in less than ten minutes. At the same time, Fengtianmen City The door was also completely blown open by the soldiers using ten grenades trapped together.
After capturing Fengtianmen, the soldiers of the reconnaissance company divided into three groups under the leadership of the Jinyiwei guide, and quickly attacked various key points in the palace. Of course, the most important point was the Qianqing Palace where Chongzhen was located.
The entire attack was overwhelming, and the palace guards could not even hinder the soldiers' actions.
