    The Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City.  This is the place where many court officials were beheaded. I believe everyone is familiar with the phrase that the emperor often said: "Push out the Meridian Gate and behead!".  At the same time, this is also the place where civil and military officials enter the Forbidden City when they go to court in the morning.  At this moment, corpses and blood were everywhere inside and outside the Meridian Gate. It was obvious at a glance that there must have been a huge scuffle.  Just about an hour ago, more than 10,000 troops from the Beijing camp fought their way in from the Meridian Gate.  At this moment, the entire palace is basically filled with people from the Beijing camp.  There were originally a lot of guards in the palace, but most of them were sent to the tower to defend the city.  No one expected that Jingying would dare to rebel at this juncture, so they were caught off guard when they caught the opportunity.  At this time, the people responsible for guarding the Meridian Gate were all people from the Beijing camp.  This shows that they have controlled the situation in the palace.  But at this moment, Geng Zhongqiu and Zhong Bin arrived almost at the same time.  The two met at the dismounting stone outside the Meridian Gate. After they looked at each other, they didn't say much. They just nodded to each other and then rushed towards the Meridian Gate together.  "Kill without mercy!" Zhong Bin issued this order in a deep voice, his tone so cold that it almost made people freeze.  As soon as Geng Zhongqiu heard Zhong Bin's order, he immediately issued an order: "If you encounter rebels, kill them without mercy."  The hundreds of Beijing soldiers and horses left behind at the Meridian Gate were wiped out by the Jin Yiwei and the disciples of Qianmen, who could hardly even put up a basic resistance.  Then Geng Zhongqiu and Zhong Bin did not dare to delay at all. After entering the Meridian Gate, they led their troops and rushed towards the Donghua Gate quickly.  In addition, at Zhengyangmen.  Wang Shouren was leading the soldiers guarding the city to defend the city with difficulty. Since the chaos broke out in the city, the enemy forces outside the city began to launch a fierce attack.  This time the enemy was clearly preparing to capture the capital in one fell swoop, and the attack was particularly fierce, leaving Wang Shouren exhausted.  "Hold it! Hold it!" Wang Shouren shouted loudly, while the long sword in his hand kept slashing people who were climbing up the ladder from the bottom of the city tower to the city wall.  Suddenly, Wang Shouren heard dense footsteps and shouts of death coming from behind the city tower. At first, he thought they were the rebels from the Beijing camp.  But when I walked to the wall stacks of the city tower, I saw that those running toward the city gate from inside the capital were actually enemy troops.  At this moment, Wang Shouren felt a chill, running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.  It's over, it's all over.  This was the first thought in Wang Shouren's mind.  Immediately afterwards, Wang Shouren felt deep anger in his heart, because he understood that it was definitely not possible for so many enemy troops to enter the capital city through tunnels or secret passages. The only explanation was that Chongwenmen or Xuanwumen, this  One of the two city gates has been breached.  There are not many troops in these two city gates, so it is normal for them to be breached by the enemy.  However, neither of these two places sent anyone to report or ask for help, which made Wang Shouren very unhappy.  Wang Shouren shook the sword in his hand, and what first arose in his mind was the thought of serving the country with death.  But soon, Wang Shouren remembered Yang Yiqing's previous entrustment. At this moment, Yang Yiqing's life and death were unknown. If he failed his entrustment again, he would never be able to justify it.  So Wang Shouren shouted: "Withdraw! Withdraw to the palace!" Outside the city, the three armies attacking the capital this time had their own leading troops.  When the three general soldiers saw that most of the torches on the Zhengyang Gate tower had disappeared, and the resistance became almost nonexistent, the three men understood that the guards on the Zhengyang Gate had finally retreated.  While the three of them were excited, they also let out a long sigh of relief.  To be honest, this attack on the capital finally made the three of them feel that the battle turned out to be so difficult.  They have far more troops than the defenders of the capital, and they use the most advanced siege equipment. However, they have lost nearly 40,000 horses since the siege.  The guard military system of the Ming Dynasty had basically collapsed by the middle and late Ming Dynasty.  The combat effectiveness of the so-called guard soldiers is almost not much different from that of armed peasants.  In front of the elite Jinyi guards and thousands of disciples, even if these guards had a numerical advantage, they still couldn't take advantage.  We attacked the city so many times and for so many days.  To be honest, these three generals were on the verge of collapse.  No matter how hard they attack the city, they don't dare to delay it for long.  Otherwise, there will be no soldiers left, and they might be attacked back.  At this time, when they saw the defenders on Zhengyang Gate evacuating, the three of them looked at each other, cheered up, and were ready to march directly into the city.  But at this moment, a sudden change occurred The rumble of horse hooves came from behind the army. No one could be seen clearly in the dark night, but the loud shouts of killing were heard first.  The three commander-in-chiefs were so frightened by the shouts of killing that they almost stopped.He fell down on his back, and the most shocking scene appeared at this moment.  Suddenly, the torches were lit up neatly in the dark night, and at the front of the team, the cavalry were rushing towards this side fiercely.  After the cavalry, there were obviously infantry, and their tails spread into the night. It was hard to see the number, but it made people feel as if they were endless.  When the three generals saw that the leading troops of their army had entered the capital, they immediately shouted in a panic: "Retreat! Get back quickly, you've been caught in a trap!" "Oh, yes, Ming Jin withdraws his troops. Someone's coming,  Ming Jin withdraws his troops! " "Dang, clang, clang" Ming Jin's voice sounded, but the vanguard troops who had already entered the city gate would not care about this.  So the moment the cavalry led by Jiang Xia came over, the so-called three-way army collapsed instantly.  The three commander-in-chiefs hurriedly fled with their men, but the troops led by Jiang Xia thrust in like a sharp knife.  The battle to defend the capital, a battle that decided the outcome, had just begun.  The battle lasted for nearly three hours, from dusk to dawn.  When the morning sun rose, Wang Yunjie, Zhao Qian, and Han Xinyun, the three commander-in-chiefs, had been captured by Jiang Xia's troops.  Jiang Xia turned around and glanced inside and outside Zhengyang Gate. There were corpses everywhere with a strong sense of tragedy.  When the morning sunlight swept over the corpses, they smelled a bit like the wasteland of the world.  Jiang Xia patted the horse's butt and said, "Let's go into the palace and have a look." In the palace, the situation has been stabilized.  The people in the Beijing camp were either killed or had fled from the Forbidden City.  Qianmen's disciples and Jinyiwei are conducting a search operation in the capital.  After Jiang Xia entered the city, he heard that the Beijing rebels had attacked the palace. He was also shocked this time, so he took the lead and headed straight for the Forbidden City.  After entering the Forbidden City, Jiang Xia went straight to Kunning Palace.  Outside Kunning Palace, Jiang Xia met Cui Rushuang, Su Meiniang and others.  When all the lovely wives saw Jiang Xia, they all ran over with tears in their eyes and hugged him carefully.  Jiang Xia held Cui Rushuang in her arms and asked, "How is it? Is anyone injured?" Cui Rushuang's tears dripped down, and she nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Ruqin and Uncle Yang are both injured, not too badly."  "Light." When Jiang Xia heard this, a pair of heroes stared, and his body instantly exuded a murderous aura that was so strong that it almost solidified.  The dragon has reverse scales, which make it angry when touched.  Undoubtedly, Jiang Xia¡¯s reverse scale was touched this time
