There is no problem with Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu's approach in normal times. With the authority of the court, they can do whatever they want.

Not to mention detaining the families of these people, even if these people were guilty of death, were killed by nine clans, and were killed by the whole family, they would not dare to escape.

Because these people all have an idea. Can the kingly land in the world be where can they escape even if they escape? It would be better to be honest and let someone cut off their heads and end them all.

But today is different. The authority of the court is gone. Now they are phoenixes with hair peeling off their hair, and they still want to use the tricks of the past, so these soldiers dare to use their swords.

Not only did they receive such treatment in Fang Mansion, but also in other places, the Jinyiwei was also treated cruelly by these generals in charge of the soldiers. The Jinyiwei was ordered to arrest people, being domineering and unreasonable, and several people were killed by the other party and fled in a panic.

This is the imperial city, but such a thing happened at the foot of the emperor, which made Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu feel incredible. Xu Jianqiang cursed angrily: "Rebellion! Rebellion!"

In the past, it was incredible. Directly fighting against the Jinyiwei and the Emperor's personal soldiers was no different from rebellion. Although these civil officials were very domineering, they did not dare to openly use their swords to kill the Jinyiwei. At most, they just curse a few words and scold him back.

Now, these rude warriors, who usually have to kneel down and nod and bow when they see the Jinyiwei, actually openly fight with a knife and dare to kill the Jinyiwei.

Xu Jianqiang felt sad.

He has only now discovered that since the siege of the city, these generals in charge of the troops have begun to become restless, and their soldiers have quickly gathered under the generals, gathering together to keep warm and advance and retreat together. This kind of scene is very common if it is in major border towns. To put it bluntly, these generals respect their own mercenaries and private their troops.

But this is the capital city, and this has never happened before. The entire capital is now in chaos.

Originally, they wanted to suppress the people vigorously and intimidate the people everywhere, saying that the Chinese military was not all the same.

However, the Chinese army shot the books of surrender all over the sky, descending from the sky, scattered across the city, countless of which were passed by.

At first, Xu Jianqiang ordered people to collect this thing, and ordered the people not to see it. It was no different from treason, but there were too many of these things, so many that they could not collect them.

More importantly, not only the people collected it, but even the Jinyiwei and officials began to collect it. They urgently needed to understand the policies of the Chinese army.

Liu Bu led tens of thousands of troops, aggressively surrounded the capital, with a fierce momentum. Although they surrounded the capital, they did not threaten to keep the whole family and do not attack the city immediately, but instead began a powerful psychological offensive.

The superior army attacks the plan, and the superior army will be defeated without fighting.

Xu Jianqiang hoped that Liu Bu would attack the city immediately, and it would be best to threaten to massacre the city, so that the people in the city could unite and go to the outside world in unison.

However, Liu Bu was very elves and did not do this, and he also made promises to these people and residents. Under such policies, these people, the soldiers and civilians were in no mood to resist with all their hearts and the idea of ​​fighting to the death.

Although this is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the most central place of the Ming Dynasty is under the feet of the emperor, the hearts of the people are also changing. The main things are political corruption, social darkness, people are living in poverty, many people cannot survive, and the people cannot survive, so naturally there is no such thing as loyalty and integrity.

The people believe that loyalty and integrity are what these officials should do, not what ordinary people who usually pay taxes for the court and are responsible for corvee labor.

The king's flag changes on the top of the city, and you just sing and I will appear. The rise and fall of the dynasty is something that happens frequently. What is eternal and unchanging is that no matter who becomes the emperor, the people must pay taxes on arable land, even the uncivilized barbarians and Mongolian Tartars.

If the troops were at the city, the people and residents of the city would definitely be extremely afraid, united and fought to resist the invasion of foreign races.

But the siege of the Liu family from Shandong, and the Liu family from Shandong was also a representative of the top gentry in the Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, it is one of the Han people. Many people regard this as a replacement of power within the country.

The people's ideas are relatively simple. No matter who is the emperor, the land still needs to be cultivated or let the people pay taxes.

This is actually no difference from the fact that in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao was the emperor or the Zhu Di was the emperor.

If this is not intuitive enough, what is more intuitive is that the Emperor Zhao family and the Emperor Zhu family are not the same, and they still have to cultivate land and pay taxes.

Since that is the case, this is the matter of the officials and the emperor. Why do they, the ordinary people, get involved in the fight between them, the great gods?

Even if they walk up the city wall and are loyal to the country, what can they get? If it is the Mongol invasion or the Jiannu invasion, even if they die in battle, they will be awarded the title of resisting foreign enemies and national heroes. But now there is an alternation of power within and the dispute between the powerful and the powerful. What are the benefits of them interfering in?

So much so that the court issued various edicts calling on the people to pick up weapons, go to the city walls, defend the country, and defend His Majesty the Emperor, and there were very few people who responded.

Many people are still watching, mainly watching the officials. They are thinking that if the officials are not afraid of death and lead everyone to fight, everyone will follow him to die. But what disappoints them is that most officials are also watching, and more of them have their heads shrank in their crotch and dare not show up.

This made the people even more indifferent. These officials were deeply loved by Huang's grace and had a lot of wealth. Usually, they were five or six people and bullied the people. Now when the country needed them, they would put their heads in their crotch, dare not look up and fight desperately. Even those who gained benefits were not willing to fight for the emperor, and others were even more reluctant.

Zhou Yanru went out to supervise his troops and was defeated in one battle, which brought extremely bad consequences, which made other ministers and generals not afraid to lead their troops out to fight.

The new chief assistant Zhang Zhifa thought I was not voluntarily, but was forced by everyone to do it, so he didn't do his best. It was not that he was unwilling to do his best, but that he tried his best and could not do anything, so he looked like he was putting life and death aside.

Even the leaders and ministers of the country cannot stand up bravely and call on the people to resist foreign enemies, let alone these people.

In Liu Bu's eyes, the people and military and civilians in the city should be mobilized and took up weapons to fight the Chinese army.

Because if he was defending the city, he would probably have done this, and he would also have a baojia system and a joint seat system, so that everyone would be linked to the rise and fall of the city, and they would be prosperous and they would be damaged.

But he never expected that such a situation would be happening in the city. First of all, the officials lost their morale, the army did not mobilize, and the people were waiting and watching.

Liu Bu obtained this information through the intelligence personnel in the city, which greatly encouraged him. It was probably this city wall that prevented their Liu family from becoming emperors. Can this city wall block them for a while? How long can it take for them?

Before this, the National Security Bureau and the intelligence personnel inside the country had Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu joined forces, so they could not even lift their heads. Many of them were either killed or hid deeply and did not dare to show up.

Xu Jianqiang's government, coupled with Nie Chunyu's local snake, Qiangqiang's alliance box, was simply an invincible existence. Many people were taken to the imperial prison and then executed secretly, but no one dared to cooperate with them.

But since the Chinese army surrounded Beijing, the forces of Nie Chunyu collapsed. They used to rely on the government's thigh and rely on the government to perform their power and blessings, but now they see that the Ming Dynasty is about to lose its protection and collapse. How can they still perform their power and blessings?

At this time, if you still hold the Ming Dynasty's thigh, it will be a dead end. Therefore, they all hid one after another and were no longer willing to serve the government. Not only did they not want to serve the government, but they also quickly distanced themselves from the government.

Otherwise, after a few months, when the Chinese army attacked the city and entered the city in large numbers, they would be listed as remnants of the previous dynasty and would have no other end except being eradicated and killed.

This result was unexpected by Xu Jianqiang and Nie Chunyu, but it was also expected, which was called "the tree falling money and scattering".

In the past, they had soldiers and generals, and with the government, many people came to serve. Now even the Ming Dynasty is almost out of control. Who else is willing to hold their thighs like this? Who else is loyal to them?

Xu Jianqiang and the others were very clear about these situations. Even Xu Jianqiang began to feel desperate now, because he finally heard the news about Hong Chengchou's army and Yang Sichang's army.

These two armies were the last straw for the Ming Dynasty and the last glimmer of hope. Now the two armies actually surrendered to each other with the Chinese army hooking their fingers. Xu Jianqiang only felt that the sky had collapsed.

Xu Jianqiang cursed: "Hong Chengchou, Yang Sichang, you two bastards without eggs, don't you dare to fight against the enemy?"

In Xu Jianqiang's eyes, Hong Chengchou and Yang Sichang joined forces to have an army of 700,000. Even if they were 700,000 pigs, they could still turn the enemy into the sky. They were better. After fighting a few battles with the other party, they could not make any progress, and they stopped fighting and surrendered directly to the enemy.
