Chapter 941
The reason why Liu Bu did not enter the city was that there was an emperor in the city. Only when the emperor died could he go in.
Emperor Chongzhen must die, but cannot die at the hands of their father and son, so Liu Bu is now occupying the place and pressing step by step, which is actually giving Emperor Chongzhen time to commit suicide.
If it was someone else, there would be another worry, that is, that is, worrying that the emperor would run away, but Liu Bu was not worried about this.
He knew that Emperor Chongzhen was a very strong emperor, and also an emperor with a very straightforward and ruthless temper. If the country was lost, he would not run away like a lost dog. A man who stood up would not live in grievance. He was far more than Emperor Huizong of Song and Emperor Qinzong of Song. He would probably commit suicide and sacrifice his country. Now he gave time to Emperor Chongzhen to sacrifice his country for his life.
As long as Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide and died for his country, they could take over the place and become the new masters.
There is no day or day, and there is no two masters in the country. The excess must be removed first.
Hundreds of thousands of Chinese troops rushed in from the nine major city gates like a tide, and rushed to the inner city gates. After taking down the outer city, they began to besiege the inner city and the imperial city.
The residences of the dignitaries near the imperial city were also the key targets of their attacks. First, they had to capture and capture these dignitaries. Secondly, they had to remove the weapons of these dignitaries and family members, and they also searched for deserters in the city, shouting and killing to the sky, screaming and wailing everywhere, so the city was in chaos, with shouting and killing soaring into the sky, and there were chaos everywhere.
The progress of several armies was very smooth. They arrived at the four gates of the Imperial City one after another and surrounded the Imperial City.
The Imperial City is where the Forbidden City is located, which is where the imperial court works, and it became the last place in the Ming Dynasty.
The tall outer city was broken by them, and the lower imperial city gate could not stop their troops. They quickly broke through the imperial city, and the army rushed into this huge palace like a tide.
The most solemn and dignified place in the world has become a battlefield of killing.
This is the Forbidden City, the most noble place in the Ming Dynasty. The generals responsible for attacking here all knew that this place had great significance and could do things other than other places. The places here really should not do things. If the soldiers were allowed to do whatever they wanted, burned all the palaces here and destroyed them, that would be amazing.
The Chinese Army has issued orders to senior generals of various departments that in the palace, some buildings must be preserved and some things must be destroyed.
The buildings that need to be preserved are naturally the three famous halls. These three giant halls are representatives of the palaces of the Ming Dynasty and famous places around the world. If the king Liu Yuanqiao wants to ascend the throne to the throne, he must ascend the throne here.
What is to be destroyed is naturally the Taimiao in the Ming Dynasty Palace, and the military camp.
The soldiers in the imperial city must be expelled and disarmed, and the soldiers of the Chinese army will take over, and the Taimiao must be destroyed.
In the palace, the Taimiao is the Taimiao, the Nine Temples of the Emperors of the Emperor, and the spiritual throne of the Zhuming Dynasty, as well as the most powerful famous ministers and generals under the emperors of all dynasties. After making great contributions, these famous ministers and generals were granted permission from the emperor. After their death, they were worthy of the Taimiao, accompanied the emperor, and accepted the honor of sacrifices from the royal family and the court. This is the highest honor for civil and military officials.
It is equivalent to the spiritual core of the Ming Dynasty, a bit like the Yasukuni Shrine of the Ming Dynasty. Such things cannot exist, even if they were the most important places for the emperors of the Ming Dynasty in history.
The person responsible for attacking here was Zu Dashou's Guanning Army. Zu Dashou led several generals of Guanning Army, Wu Sangui, Wu Xiang and others, and led their subordinates to break into the Taimiao. They moved all the valuable things inside, such as gold, silver, and various valuable things inside, and then they brought dry firewood to burn these buildings one by one.
The Chinese army had strict military disciplines. After entering the capital, it was strictly enforced. It took over the city defenses in various places and rarely set fires openly. Even if they killed people, they would kill people and prepare to deal with the bodies. They rarely burned the house.
Because the Chinese army is a regular army after all, they rarely do things like killing and setting fires. At the same time, they all know that the buildings and houses in this city are actually their future things, and it is a pity that they burn them.
Even when they attacked this huge palace city, they were reluctant to use cannons. If they used cannons to bombard them, they would easily destroy these solemn buildings and such exquisite houses would be destroyed by war. They all sent musketeers to use light weapons, gradually advance and gradually seize them, in order to ensure that the palace city fell into their hands to the greatest extent, especially here is the palace, a complete palace, which fell into the hands of the Chinese army and presented to the king. This is the highest honor for the generals.
But there is only one place that is the Taimiao. Only by completely burning and burning it, can the spirit of the Ming Dynasty be destroyed from its root.
If Zhang Xianzhong's troops conquered Fengyang, burned the imperial tomb, and cut off the dragon vein, this was the dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. Now Zu Dashou and others set fire to burn the Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty royal family, this was the dynasty of the last bit of the dynasty.
Zu Dashou took the initiative to grab this job. When Liu Bu assigned such a task, Liu Bu did not deliberately hand over such an job to Zu Dashou, but Zu Dashou took the initiative to grab it.
Zu Dashou and others knew one thing that they have surrendered to the Chinese Army and became members of the Chinese Army.
With the mind and demeanor of Liu Bu and his son, they can most likely give them wealth and glory, which depends on whether they will grasp it well.
Zu Dashou has been an old fried dough stick for half his life, so he naturally knows how to change the situation and how to avoid misfortune. The best way now is to hug this thigh of the Chinese Army tightly. Only by hugging this thigh can they be safe and prosperous.
How can we prove their loyalty? That is, they led their troops to attack the imperial city, and at the same time he snatched the job of burning the Zhuming royal family's Taimiao. This is the best way to prove their loyalty to the emperor of the new dynasty.
After burning this Taimiao of the Ming Dynasty, they became the most loyal people of the Chinese army, and they all became the mortal enemies of the Ming Dynasty and could never go back. Zu Dashou and others looked at the nine huge temples, and they all turned into ashes in the fire, and they couldn't help but feel a little moved.
The Taimiao is the most sacred place in the Ming Empire. It is almost the soul of the royal family. There are many servants, palace maids and eunuchs here to serve. When they see Zu Dashou and others breaking in like wolves and tigers, they are not afraid and pick up what they can hold to resist bravely. In their eyes, they are loyal to the emperor they serve.
However, such resistance was futile. The millions of troops could not resist the attack of the Chinese army. The hundreds of palace maids, eunuchs and servants could not resist the attack of the Chinese army like wolves and tigers. Taimiao was soon attacked by Zu Dashou and others. No one inside was left, and Taimiao quickly turned into ashes in the raging fire.
At this time, various information was continuously transmitted to Liu Bu.
For example, they captured major key departments of the imperial city and captured most of the ministers in the court.
The National Security Bureau has also successfully eliminated the target they want to eliminate...
Those who resisted them in the city were also eliminated and killed one by one. The key places and military camps fell into the hands of the Chinese army one by one.
The huge army and various forces slowly extended to the harem.
After entering the imperial city, Liu Bu ordered his army to move as lightly as possible and to slow down as possible, not to be afraid of the enemy's intimidation or to be afraid of the enemy's escape. As long as he surrounded the place, he advanced slowly and gradually increased the pressure.
All Liu Bu wanted was to force Emperor Chongzhen to commit suicide. If he committed suicide, it would be the best choice, so as not to kill the master himself.
Soon, their troops attacked the harem, and their vanguard troops took over the major palaces in the harem.
The first is Kunning Palace. Kunning Palace is where the queen is. When their people arrived, the queen had already committed suicide by hanging herself. After she hung her, her three children were strangled to death by the little eunuch with white silk. The three young bodies were placed side by side by side with their mother.
In this regard, the Chinese Army's intelligence bureau has made preparations. They have prepared many witnesses who know Empress Zhou and several princes. They need to wait until these witnesses have proved it before confirming it.
After attacking the imperial city, they set a rule that the people in the royal family are all characters on the blacklist, and no one is left, and at the same time, they must ensure that they are not escaped by the other party, so someone must prove the identity of the deceased.
The identities of these deceased were soon confirmed one by one. The deceased were the famous Empress Zhou, as well as his princes and princesses. When they saw the corpses of the royal family, these people breathed a sigh of relief.
But they all became nervous again, why didn't they see the body of Emperor Chongzhen? And the body of the loyal and loyal minister Wang Chengen beside him? You should know that Wang Chengen is the most capable and trusted person around Emperor Chongzhen, who has always followed the emperor.
Could it be that he accompanied the emperor and ran away? Many people also believed that such a large imperial city naturally had many mechanisms and secret paths. It was reasonable for the emperor to have a secret path to escape.
