It stands to reason that Zhen Jian's rebellion, this news should have been transmitted back to the capital, but the capital did not receive any news, because the first stop of Zhen's rebellion was Taiyuan, followed by Henan, and from these two places to send an emergency report back to the capital, they had to pass through Xiangfan, but Cao Xueyang had already sent people to guard the post station, and all the people who sent the emergency war report were all taken.
Therefore, Zhen Jian had already arrived in Xiangfan with more than 70,000 troops, but the imperial court still knew nothing.
Zhen Jian's rebellion was not a whim, but premeditated, this premeditated plan began with the request to send troops to the Northern Expedition, halfway Zhen Jian was framed by his uncle, was taken to prison by the emperor, and ordered to be executed, all of this is in his plan, and it can even be said that he carefully designed it, and an important person involved in it is Xu Jie.
Xu Jie didn't know that Zhen Jian was going to rebel, he just offered a plan to his uncle, which was to get his uncle to approve Zhen Jian's Northern Expedition.
Zhen Jian sent troops to the Northern Expedition, if he was defeated, he would be dead, if he won, he would be crowned with high merit, as long as Uncle Guo made some moves in the capital, he could kill Zhen Jian, when Xu Jie offered this strategy, Uncle Guo was very happy, this kind of strategy without loopholes, what reason did he have to refuse, so he did it without hesitation.
That's right, this strategy is good, but this is just a bait thrown out by Zhen Jian, of course, the price is also quite large, in case Zhen Jian can't save himself, then he will really be executed by the emperor, even if he succeeds in saving himself, Zhen Jian will still rebel, and it is still unknown whether the rebellion can succeed.
Zhen Jian tried his best to do this, that is, to rebel, and to take it for granted, but to get the support of all the people, if he didn't care about anything, he would rebel directly, he would be scolded as a chaotic minister and thief, and now, in every place where Zhen Jian led his troops to pass, the people praised his merits and good name.
Zhen Jian's rebellion was not a hot head, the failure to rehabilitate his father was just a fuse, he was actually dissatisfied with this emperor for a long time, the emperor may not be a senseless emperor like King Xu, but he was not a good emperor, he also thought about whether to help Prince Yun and let Prince Yun come to sit on the country, but he finally vetoed this idea.
Prince Yun is a person he can't control, if he is made the emperor, everything is full of unknowns, the danger factor is too high, people, or take their fate into their own hands, so he must personally rebel and control the supreme power.
On Xiangfan's side, Qin Xueyang has already made preparations, Zhen Jian has a very big reputation in Xiangfan City, and he can almost be compared to Qin Yuan, after all, he is the young hero who destroyed the Liang Kingdom.
The army converged, a total of 115,000 soldiers and horses, leaving 15,000 soldiers and horses to guard in Xiangfan, and the 100,000 army went directly to the capital.
Zhen Jian knows that just after the end of the Northern Expedition, the soldiers and horses in the capital were transferred to the north to guard the lost territory that had just been recovered (in fact, it was the soldiers and horses he brought back), the current soldiers and horses in the capital will definitely not exceed 50,000, and it is estimated that most of them are new soldiers, even if they are veterans, Zhen Jian is not afraid, these forbidden troops are all trained by him, what strength these guys have, he knows better than anyone else, besides, all the gunpowder in the secret weapon academy in the capital was brought out by him, and now in his army, there is no gunpowder in the capital, so, Conquering the capital, he is very confident.
Zhen Jian led the army all the way to the capital, and where he passed, there was almost no war, and those defenders of the city took the initiative to surrender the city, after all, Zhen Jian brought an army of 100,000, which was not something that their thousands of people could resist, and they were used to being comfortable, and they were all frightened when they suddenly encountered such a big battle, and they had no intention of fighting at all.
From Xiangyang to the capital, it took only a month, almost no resistance, by the way, he also won more than 20 large and small cities, the emperor learned that Zhen Jian actually conspired with Qin Xueyang to rebel, and he was so angry that he vomited blood, and now he heard that Zhen Jian actually arrived in the capital in only a month, and there was no obstruction along the way, and he fainted in anger.
Zhen Jian is less than 100 miles away from the capital, and he arrived in a day, the emperor was in a coma again, and there was a panic in the capital, Uncle Guo was frightened miserably, he never dreamed that Zhen Jian would rebel, a person who had been removed from all positions and powers actually rebelled, which was really incredible, but Zhen Jian did it.
The next day, the soldiers besieged the capital, and did not send troops to attack the city, but sent people outside the city to shout and persuade them to surrender, after all, Zhen Jian was very clear about the situation of troops and grain and grass in the capital, and he could still try to persuade him to surrender.
Several generals defending the city are Zhen Jian's subordinates, to be honest, they don't want to fight with Zhen Jian at all, after all, they are all Zhen Jian's subordinates, and they have a good understanding of their military capabilities, so it's okay for them to talk about the army on paper, let alone fight, let alone fight with Zhen Jian, although Zhen Jian is young, he can destroy the Liang State, which has proved his unique military talent.
At this moment, Zhen Jian also sent people outside the city gates to talk about the ugly things of these city-guarding generals, but all the things they did that were unseemly and unacceptable to the table, all of them were said here, which made several generals who defended the city almost collapsed......
Not particular.
When is it, Zhen Jian still cares about whether he pays attention to it or not, he just wants to succeed in rebellion now, become a king and lose a villain.
After shouting for three days in a row, Zhen Jian finally launched an attack on the capital, the old rule, artillery fire opened the way, and let the army in the city hide the taste of gunpowder first.
Gunpowder is a thing that is very cool for people to use, but the side that was blown up was extremely frightened, even the fierce Xiongnu and Tule were afraid of gunpowder, not to mention the army of Chu State, which was famous for its weakness.
Several generals defending the city saw that the emperor was gone, and after so many days, no reinforcements had arrived, so it was better to surrender as soon as possible, so that at least there was still credit to be received.
The sudden defection of the defenders of the city caught the Manchu civil and military forces and the emperor by surprise, and Zhen Jian's army rushed into the city, first occupying all the city gates, and then transferring troops to attack the imperial city.
The imperial city is guarded by 8,000 royal forest troops, and the imperial forest army has been renovated and quite effective under the training of Wang Guang, and it is difficult for Zhen Jian and their army to carry out a large-scale siege in the city, which took a day and a night, and finally captured the imperial city and captured Wang Guang, the general of the imperial forest army.
In front of Chaotianmen, countless armies poured in, and two people escorted Wang Guang in front of Zhen Jian, and the two looked at each other, feeling embarrassed.
After a long time, Wang Guang said lightly: "Today I fall into your hands, you want to kill or chop, listen to you." ” Zhen Jian smiled slightly and said, "What am I going to do when I kill you, when I come back this time, you are not a traitor." ” Wang Guang didn't speak, he knew that he was now a prisoner, and it was useless to say anything, so he chose to be silent.
Zhen Jianyi waved his hand and said, "Take it down and put it under house arrest, don't be lazy." ” "Yes!"
A group of soldiers escorted Wang Guang away.
Zhen Jian looked up at the huge Chaotian Gate and strode in.
All the ministers of the court and the central government have already connected their families into the imperial city, however, the current imperial city is a big urn, and what Zhen Jian wants to do is to catch turtles in the urn.
Zhen Jian didn't even need to send someone to investigate, but all the officials who brought their families into the imperial city had a bad relationship with him, so they would take it down first.
That night, Zhen Jian broke into the palace with a large army, and the emperor knew that the general trend had gone, so he sat in the Lin De Hall and waited for Zhen Jian.
When Zhen Jian walked into the Linde Palace, he saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair with a dejected face, and Liu Qing beside him trembled, like a sifting chaff.
Zhen Jian walked to the center of the hall and looked at the emperor with his head held high, this was the first time he did not salute the emperor in the Lin De Palace.
"Chen Zhenjian has seen the emperor."
The emperor looked at Zhen Jian and said coldly: "I really didn't miscalculate, you are really a chaotic minister and thief!"
