In the Qinzheng Palace, which suddenly quieted down, there was no sound of rebels killing outside, but the sound of squirming footsteps came through.And outside the doors and windows, a large number of dark shadows are also reflected.These black shadows are the vanguard of the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao.At this time, outside the palace of diligence.These pioneers were all in fiery red armor, with bows and crossbows on their backs, and flintlock pistols in their hands, and they were neatly appearing outside the Qinzheng Hall like a pouring red stream.In order to avoid embarrassing things happening in the palace for these pioneers, Zhu Youxiao's pioneers are all female soldiers.There are many female generals and female family members in the Ming Dynasty.The most famous is naturally Qin Liangyu.is not only her, her daughter-in-law is also a famous female dependent, Zeng Guan to the deputy chief soldier, that is, Zhang Fengyi.In addition, there are many female dependents in the clan who are also quite good warriors.Zhu Youxiao strengthened the defense of the palace ban, especially the defense of the women and children in the palace, and let the relatives and daughters of the clan and the daughters of the military ministers also play a trace of value.Therefore, after he reformed the clan and let the clan enter Beijing, he specially selected a group of relatives and daughters of the clan's relatives and cronies as female palace guards, and Qin Liangyu, Zhou Yuji's wife Liu, and Qin Liangyu's daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi were trained to form a palace powerhouse, and claimed to be the vanguard of the revolution.However, Zhu Youxiao did not intend to let them hold positions in foreign courts in the future, and there was a suspicion of interfering in politics, so he only intended to let them participate in the defense affairs of the inner court.After all, it is not enough to have domestic slaves in the inner court.Historically, there were also many domestic slaves who surrendered to Li Zicheng or Jiannu, at least many who bullied the weak and destroyed the foundation of imperial rule.Allowing the clan's relatives to participate in the affairs of the inner court can provide checks and balances to intervene.This is like a big family, with a few more relatives who care about the interests of the family to supervise the housekeepers for the emperor.Then, the housekeeper's house slaves supervised the house slaves under him and the hired hands of the foreign courts, that is, the officials.And the officials and domestic slaves will also supervise the relatives in the family.Anyway, no one can be idle like waste.But no one can act as the emperor alone.Harem administration, relatives politics, martial arts dictatorship, official dictatorship, eunuch dictatorship, and so on.Undoubtedly, it is the result of the monopoly of power by one force, and it is not conducive to the use of imperial power.A good emperor has to be used.For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, had decreed that the commander of the horse "shall not interfere in political affairs", but this decree was broken by himself, and in the nineteenth year of Hongwu, Mei Yin, the commander of the horse, was sent by him to the Shandong Admiral School to take charge of local affairs, and later was appointed by Zhu Yunwen as the chief military officer to guard Huai'an.After reading history, Zhu Youxiao also found that the powerful emperors in history seemed to set rules to restrict others, and they were not so rigid about themselves.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not want to stick to dogma.Zhu Youxiao's half-sister Princess Le'an became one of the best in the training of the pre-driving pioneer, and showed a good talent in riding and archery.Over the years, Zhu Youxiao has also taken good care of his younger brothers and sisters, and on the grounds of loving his younger brothers and sisters, he has kept them all by his side to teach and cultivate his feelings personally.Even, the characteristics of the eighth sister of the emperor who are good at martial arts were discovered because he personally raised them by his side.Therefore, Princess Le'an, who is also the eighth sister of the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao also have a deep relationship.And Zhu Youxiao was therefore happy to let Princess Le'an become the leader of this forbidden brigade.But there are not many relatives outside the clan who are suitable for training, and a distant branch clan like King Jin is naturally not good, it must be a close branch clan that is close to the royal family, and it is best to be a clan relative close to the emperor.Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has only trained about 700 pioneers so far.These 700 or so pioneers, in addition to some of them are relatives of the near branch clan, and the other part is the daughters of Qin Liangyu and Zhou Yuji.Because Zhu Youxiao knew the events of the original history.Qin Liangyu's family does not need to be mentioned, when Zhou Yuji's wife Liu was guarding Taiyuan in history, she took her daughters and Li Zicheng to fight bloodily until all of them died, which can be described as a loyal martyr who did not let Xu Mei.Therefore, he can trust the female dependents of the Qin and Zhou clans.At this time, Princess Le'an brought Liu and Zhang Fengyi to Zhu Youxiao: "Brother Huang!
”After Zhu Youxiao saw Princess Le'an coming, he nodded and ordered: "Except for Yuan Aiqing, Wei Zhongxian, and Wang Chengen, the Da Jue present are all involved in rebellion, and in addition, the cabinet minister Wei Guangwei colluded with the ministers and had bad intentions, you first detain them all to Fuqinxuan and guard them strictly." ”Saying that, Zhu Youxiao looked at Liu and Zhang Fengyi: "You two take your subordinates to drive the vanguard, immediately assist in guarding the Daming Garden, and obey the dispatch of Zhang Tongchang, the general of the Guards." ”"Yes!"
Princess Le'an replied.Liu Ruoyu, Wei Guangwei and others were surprised.Of course, when they heard that His Majesty the Emperor ordered Wang Chengen to drive the vanguard escort, they also quickly realized that His Majesty the Emperor had long been prepared to deal with the current situation.Although Liu Ruoyu didn't understand military affairs, he also knew that a well-trained vanguard plus the guards, as long as there were a few hundred people, plus the high walls of the Daming Garden, it was more than enough to resist his five thousand rabble-like eunuchs.Therefore, Liu Ruoyu began to feel uneasy for a while.The whole person also fell to the ground like a deflated balloon.But he still didn't beg for mercy like Zhu Youxiao.He is still hoping that the rebellious eunuchs under his control may be able to perform a miracle and defeat the elite of the empire, after all, there are many of them, isn't it?
What if there is a miracle.Wei Guangwei was the same, he didn't know what to say.Gao Qiqian and other eunuchs who interceded for Liu Ruoyu were also silent, as if they had lost their souls.The pioneers dragged these people down like dead pigs.At the same time, in addition to the pioneers who guarded Liu Ruoyu and others, most of them followed Liu and Zhang Fengyi to the gates of Damingyuan, and assisted in guarding Damingyuan with Zhang Tongchang and other guards.More than 5,000 rebellious eunuchs had begun to approach the Daming Garden, and arrived at the Daming Garden not long after, and without making any arrangements, they directly attacked the Daming Garden, taking ladders and hitting the garden gate.At that time, the vanguard and the guards lined up in a row, relying on the battlements on the city wall as a cover, shot these people in a line, and immediately routed the eunuchs who rushed to the front.Even, Liu also took this opportunity to rush out with his subordinates to drive the vanguard and take the initiative to attack these eunuchs, and after a meal of chopping melons and vegetables, these eunuchs were killed and injured a lot.These eunuchs have no other tactics, and they are still rushing in a swarm, like moths to a fire.Although a few rushed up, they were quickly killed by the vanguard and guards on the city wall.At that time, the entire Daming Garden suddenly became a meat grinder.These rebellious eunuchs paid thousands of casualties, and finally failed to conquer the gate of the Damingyuan Garden, and not long after, the main force of the Janissary Guard battalion of the Guards rushed here, and these eunuchs immediately collapsed at the touch of a button and fled in the Imperial City.But because the imperial city had been ordered to be closed by Zhang Tongchang in advance at this time, the palace city was also under martial law in advance.Therefore, these escaped eunuchs could not escape, and were either killed or captured alive.Not long after, Zhang Tongchang came to report to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty!
The rebel eunuchs have all been suppressed. ”Zhu Youxiao was already staying in Fuqinxuan, where Liu Ruoyu and Wei Guangwei were imprisoned.After listening to Zhang Tongchang's report, Zhu Youxiao nodded and looked at Liu Ruoyu.Liu Ruoyu was completely desperate at this moment, and had to immediately crawl towards Zhu Youxiao like a dog, and kowtow to the ground again: "The emperor spares his life!"
