Daming pirates

Chapter 71 Memorial

At this time, because the Yu family's army invaded the city so quickly, the defenders of the capital and the court were not mentally prepared. There were not many troops stationed in the palace, and only a few were stationed here.

The total strength of Jinyiwei is only one or two thousand, and their combat effectiveness is very poor.!ybdu!

If Yu Xiaotian wanted to invade the imperial city now, it could be said that it would be basically effortless, but Yu Xiaotian did not do so.

Because he is very aware of Chongzhen's strong character. If he attacks the imperial city now, then with Chongzhen's character, he will definitely not be willing to be his prisoner. He will definitely commit suicide and die for his country and his whole family. For him,

Not the result he wanted.

He is not pedantic enough to pity Chongzhen. In China, the change of dynasties in any era is often extremely bloody. The new leader will never leave any hidden dangers that can threaten him. For the previous dynasty,

The descendants are often exterminated as much as possible.

And if he wanted to ascend to power, he would definitely have to carry out a bloody massacre. This time he attacked the capital, starting from Tianjin Guard, and led his soldiers to kill tens of thousands of people. At least tens of thousands of people were slaughtered by his Yu family army.

Among them were both slaves and officers and soldiers, as well as some innocent people.

But the reason why he is not attacking the palace now is not because he has insufficient troops or feels pity for Chongzhen, but because he has his needs.

After two or three hundred years of Ming Dynasty, the whole world now regards the Zhu family dynasty of Ming Dynasty as the righteous one. He suddenly made a dangerous move and boldly captured the capital, but there are still many places in the world that are still under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

After Chongzhen died, there were still many descendants of the Zhu family scattered all over the world. Even if he forced Chongzhen to death, officials from various places in the Ming Dynasty could still select one or even several people from among these descendants of the Zhu family to serve as generals.

He supported him and ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, but continued to fight against him.

As a result, the world will be in chaos. He doesn't have the time to deal with this kind of thing every day, so he needs Chongzhen alive now.

As long as Chongzhen is alive, he is the Zhengshuo of the Ming Dynasty. No one can appoint another person to proclaim himself emperor and replace Chongzhen and order the soldiers and horses of the world to fight against his Yu family army.

As long as he controls Chongzhen, he can coerce the emperor to order the princes. No matter whose hand the edict comes from, as long as it is stamped with the imperial seal, no one can say anything. If someone disobeys, then it is a rebellion. This is very important for quickly stabilizing the Ming Dynasty.

The situation will play a very good role.

Through this method, the blood of the Chinese people can be shed as little as possible, and the Chinese economy can be less damaged. Yu Xiaotian really can't afford to wait any longer.

Now he is nearly forty years old, but he has not sent out the Chinese fleet yet. He has just sent out a small number of ships initially to explore the world. He does not have much time to wait. He must

We must restore China's stability as quickly as possible so that we can have the spare capacity to send out large numbers of troops and warships to compete for territory around the world.

Therefore, he must keep Chongzhen alive in order to achieve his goal. As for whether he proclaims himself emperor or not, it is not very important. During his lifetime, he must lead the Chinese nation onto a powerful road and pave the way for the future generations.

For hundreds or even thousands of years, the Chinese nation has stood at the top of the world and laid a solid foundation. This is far more important than anything else.

This is also the reason why Yu Xiaotian solemnly promised Gao Minghu that he would never harm Emperor Chongzhen when he was secretly negotiating with Gao Minghu.

Although he has not yet completely controlled the capital, the overall situation has been almost determined. He will be able to fully control the capital as soon as tomorrow. As long as there are no problems tonight, everything will be under his control. Now

He estimated that Chongzhen, who was staying in the palace, was probably very frightened and angry.

So what he needs to do now is to appease Chongzhen first. Thinking of this, he waved to Lu Tong, who came with the army this time, lowered his head and whispered to him. Liu Tong nodded while listening, and then bowed to receive the order.

, I quickly went down to find a temporary place, fetched the Four Treasures of the Study, spread out a piece of rice paper, and started writing furiously.

Not long after, Lu Tong wrote an eloquent memorial. After drying the ink, he read it again and again, and then quickly presented it to Yu Xiaotian for review. After reading it, Yu Xiaotian nodded and said, "That's what it means.

, no problem, send someone to bring it in to the palace!"

Not long after, a captured eunuch was dragged over. Lu Tong handed the memorial written in the name of Yu Xiaotian to the eunuch and said to him: "This is the memorial presented by our commander to the Holy One. I believe that the Holy One

We must be very frightened now. We have no intention of murdering His Majesty. We are just going to the capital to eliminate those treacherous ministers! Take this memorial now and hurry up.

Enter the palace quickly and present it to His Majesty. Please don’t worry, Your Majesty. Our commander has no intention of rebellion. We will do our best to provide for all the future needs of the palace and will never let His Majesty and the palace.

The person in the middle has suffered the slightest injustice! As for disturbing the Holy One, I hope that the Holy One will forgive you. Once the situation in the capital is stabilized, our commander will go to apologize to the Holy One! Go!"

The eunuch gingerly took the memorial, nodded in agreement, and then was taken down and walked towards the Daming Gate.

The guard in charge of the Daming Gate saw a eunuch walking towards the Daming Gate carrying a lantern, so he hurriedly sounded the gong, and chaos immediately broke out on the tower of the Daming Gate.

A royal guard Qian was lying on the city gate tower and shouted sternly: "Who is coming! Stop quickly, if you don't reveal your identity, I will shoot my bow and arrow soon!"

The eunuch was so frightened that he peed his pants and shouted quickly: "Don't shoot the arrows! Don't shoot the arrows! Yu is the eunuch Ma Rucheng who is the supervisor of the Queen. He is here to deliver the memorial to the Holy One. Open the door quickly and let me in! I want to see you immediately.

See you, Your Majesty! If you delay important matters, be careful with your heads! Put me in quickly!"

At this time, this guy was still holding his own, but his voice was vibrating. It was obvious that he was extremely frightened. His legs were shaking constantly, and he could hardly even stand still.

When the Jin Yiwei stationed at the Daming Gate heard this, he asked someone to identify him carefully. He was indeed the eunuch in charge of the imperial palace. At this time, he wanted to enter the palace to submit a memorial. It must have been sent by the rebels. It was a mess outside now.

So far the rebels have not launched an attack on the palace, and there must be a reason for this.

If they blocked Ma Rucheng from entering the palace at this time, it might delay the important event, so after discussing it, they did not dare to open the palace door, but they still lowered a large basket from the palace wall and asked Ma Rucheng to sit in the big basket.

and pulled him up with a rope.

After Ma Rucheng entered the palace, he breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't care about his own embarrassment. He weighed the corners of his robe and asked clearly about the current location of the Holy Emperor. His two short legs were pressed tightly together, like the wind.

He ran towards the imperial study room.

It can be said that Chongzhen spent this day like a year, always inquiring about what was going on outside. In the afternoon, he first heard the fierce sound of firecrackers outside Xuanwu Gate, and then fierce shouts of death were also heard outside Meridian Gate and Xihua Gate.

The sounds and explosions made him restless all the time. He kept a sharp sword at hand at all times and was prepared for the worst.

However, from the time when the palace was surrounded until now it has completely darkened, the sound of firecrackers and explosions are constantly heard everywhere in the city, and the shouts of killing have not stopped. However, the sounds of fierce fighting outside the palace have gradually stopped, and the factions

The eunuch who went to inquire about the news replied that after the rebels surrounded the palace, they did not attack the imperial city. Now they only blocked the gates of the palace, but they did not attack the palace.

Chongzhen felt mentally and physically exhausted at this time, and he didn't know what to do for a while. It was obvious that in the afternoon, some officers and soldiers launched a counterattack against the family army, but now it seems that these counterattacks launched by the officers and soldiers have been

It ended in failure, which meant that the official army was now unable to rescue him. Yu Jiajun was gradually taking control of the capital. What fate awaited him next, Chongzhen could not guess.

He didn't know whether the rebels would launch an attack on the palace tomorrow. Now he just felt like a sharp knife was hanging above his head, and it would fall at any time. As for when it would fall, he didn't know. This made him

The most uncomfortable thing.

Everyone has the most basic instinct of survival. If it is not until the last moment, even if Chongzhen has a strong temper, he does not want to commit suicide like this. He always still holds a trace of fantasy, imagining that King Qin's troops will arrive in the capital at this time.

, wipe out all this group of rebels, even if it means driving them out of the capital, Ming Dynasty will finally have a glimmer of hope.

Just when he was anxiously waiting for the latest news, a eunuch suddenly ran in from outside in a panic and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the imperial eunuch Ma Rucheng has returned to the palace from outside, saying that he has a

The memorial for betraying General Xiaotian must be presented to the Holy One!"

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen immediately shouted: "Send him to come in!"

Ma Rucheng, covered in dust and disgraced, was brought into the imperial study from the outside. He quickly knelt down to pay his respects to Chongzhen. He held a memorial in both hands and said: "Your Majesty, I just rebelled against Xiaotian and handed it over to you."

I have sent you a memorial, so I went to the palace overnight and presented it to the Holy One! Please have His Majesty read it!"

Someone immediately went over and brought the memorial to Chongzhen. Chongzhen suppressed the fear in his heart, pretended to be calm, unfolded the memorial, and watched it carefully by the light.

When he finished reading the memorial presented to him by Yu Xiaotian, he first breathed a long sigh of relief, but then he became furious and threw the memorial onto the dragon table.

"Rebellious traitor! This Yu Xiaotian is really a traitor! He is not trying to clear up the emperor. This is clearly threatening the emperor to order the princes! He wants to rebel and cause rebellion! How can I tolerate him? I want to order the world to fight against rebellion together.

Thief! Kill his entire family!"

(I came back for a while at noon and handed in my homework quickly. I couldn’t hold on anymore and took a nap! I still have to rush to the hospital!)
