The fleet never disembarked for repairs and passed outside Tongzhou without stopping.
After passing Tongzhou, there was no need for trackers. The fleet turned into the Tonghui River and sailed directly to the capital. Before dawn, it turned into the moat and arrived at the Chaoyang Gate.
A gray city wall winds into the distance. Looking from a distance, the turret on the horse face, the Wengcheng and the arrow tower outside the city gate are very majestic. The water surface of the moat is wide, and many ships are passing by. Willows are planted on both sides, and grass is grown on the river embankment.
Withered and yellow.
This was also the first time Yang Fan saw an ancient capital. An authentic seventeenth-century imperial capital.
Although he worked in the Imperial Capital on construction sites for three years, the city walls had already been demolished. It was a completely modern metropolis.
The entire team, nearly 5,000 people strong, stopped outside Chaoyangmenweng City.
Wengcheng is a semicircular city wall that protrudes from the city wall to protect the city gate, wrapping the city gate inside. On the outermost side of Wengcheng is a majestic archery tower. The city gate of Wengcheng is opened on the side. This makes it impossible for the enemy to enter
Behind the city gate of Wengcheng, we directly attacked the city gate.
There are only three city gates in Beijing. The Wengcheng gate opens in a straight line with the city gate. One is the Qianmen, which is also the Zhengyang Gate. It is the main gate of the North City of the imperial capital.
One is the Yongding Gate, the south gate of the imperial capital, and the other is the Guang'an Gate. These three city gates were built with two door openings in a straight line because the emperor had to leave and it was impossible for the emperor to use the side entrance.
Chaoyang Gate is not an example, so the city gate of Wengcheng is opened on the north side of Wengcheng.
At this time, a young eunuch ran over, looked at Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue on horseback, and said: "Tushan stall, the prince of Yang Qianhu invites you."
Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue looked at each other, it was time for a showdown. The emperor had called in his regiment training, and there must be a secret order outside the city gate now.
The two dismounted and followed the young eunuch to the boat where the prince was riding.
After entering the cabin, Wang Chengen quickly stood up and held his hands with a smile on his face and said: "Thanks to the support of more than 3,000 people from Master Qianhu along the way, this errand was completed safely. When we see the Holy Emperor, our family will definitely
Please give me credit to both of you."
Yang Fan quickly said a few words of humility.
After a few polite words, Wang Chengen said with a serious expression: "Yang Qianhu, His Majesty has given you instructions. You don't need to be polite, just listen."
He stretched out his hand to support Yang Fan, who was about to salute.
"When Yang Fan was promoted to the rank of Jin Yiwei Qian, the Xinghe Tuanlian people gave him a loan as a Jinyiwei. Yang Fan immediately led the Xinghe Tuanlian to the capital and took over the defense of the four gates of the imperial city. He also took 300 people into the palace to stay as guards."
Yang Fan was stunned. He didn't expect the emperor to be so bold. He directly gave the entire Xinghe regiment training to the imperial guards. He was directly allowed to take control of the imperial city and lead elite soldiers into the Forbidden City to guard the emperor.
Yang Fan was not afraid of big troubles when watching the fun. If the emperor dared to play, he would play with him. It was nothing special.
I have secretly brought tens of thousands of muskets with me, more than 3,000 people, and they are open to fire without fear of running out of supplies. Food, ammunition, and ammunition are all prepared for three months. These soft-footed shrimps in the Beijing camp can still come and go freely on their own.
.
"Your Majesty, Yang Fan, accepts the order." Yang Fan accepted the order happily.
"Okay! His Majesty did not misjudge you. You are a brave and resolute man."
"Father, do we still care about the prisoners and dirt here?" Yang Fan asked.
"Throw them all to Xu Xianchun, let him take over and wait for the handover outside the city. If there is a problem, he will be the only one to ask. Humph!" At this time, the prince and his father-in-law moved in, and his whole temperament immediately changed. He looked bold and scolded Fang Qiu.
.
Yang Fanxin said that this move threw Xu Xianchun directly outside the city. If anything happened to him if he dared to leave his post without authorization, it would be his responsibility.
He threw away these burdens and headed straight for the imperial city with more than 3,000 people.
The dagger appears in the picture, this is the emperor's true purpose.
Whether these people committed crimes or confiscated their property, they were nothing in the eyes of the emperor.
Order after order was passed down, ordering Xu Xianchun to stand by and set up camp on the spot.
Luo Yangxing led others to cooperate with Xu Xianchun in taking custody of the prisoners and supplies.
The others stood still, waiting for further orders.
Then the Xinghe regiment reorganized their team and crossed the bridge with Wang Chengen in tow, arriving at the gate of Wengcheng.
A young eunuch stood under the city gate and shouted in a sharp voice: "According to the holy instructions, the city gate will be opened immediately. The chief eunuch Wang Eunuch will return to the capital to meet the holy king."
After shouting several times, there was silence on the wall and no one answered. It was as if there was no one at Chaoyang Gate at all.
Wang Chengen's face slowly became covered with a layer of frost.
We have all arrived at the door of our house, and we are actually playing with our family. The dawn here is quiet.
Yang Fan's face was also very ugly. He was so defensive day and night, but he still leaked the news. Although Jiu Qian was unable to escape the capital camp, there was still no problem in closing the city gate.
"B*tch, who is the bastard on duty at Chaoyang Gate today? If he doesn't come out and reply, our family will destroy all nine of his clans." Wang Chengen couldn't hold back his anger and shouted in a sharp voice.
It was still quiet on the city wall, not a sound at all.
Zhang Geda was furious. These bastards dared to leave the master here. He said loudly: "Master, I will pile gunpowder on the city gate hole and blow him up, you bastard."
Wang Chengen was shocked. Yang Fan's subordinates were actually these bastards. This was the imperial capital. It was a big deal that the city gates were blown open with a bang.
"Wait a minute, this is the imperial capital, no one dares to make a mistake." Wang Chengen's father-in-law, who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies, immediately stopped him.
Since Yang Fan dares to accept this job, he will not be afraid of offending others. He is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. If he accepts this job, he is courting death. Now it’s time for a showdown. He still cares about it. Controlling the situation is the first priority.
Important tasks.
If you don't open the door, just pretend to be a dead dog, hum.
"Bring me the big saw used for logging and setting up camp." Yang Fan said coldly.
The city gate in front of me is made of iron sheets and nailed with copper nails. It looks very strong.
But there is a big gap between the two door panels.
After more than two hundred years, can there be no gaps?
City gates are generally made of relatively strong jujube wood or elm wood.
As long as the wood is used for a long time, it will deform. For example, if you use hardwood rosewood to make a pen holder, it will be round when it is first made. If you look at it after three to five years, it will become oval. This is because the wood will change over time.
And deformed.
Mahogany still has this virtue, let alone city gates. The newly made door leaves are indeed tight, but after more than two hundred years, they have long been deformed.
The gap between the city gate panels is as small as an inch, and as large as a fist wide. When the door is closed, each other can be seen inside and outside.
Soon the big saw arrived.
This is a hacksaw ordered by Hyundai. It has a one-meter-and-a-half-meter-long hacksaw blade with a three-meter-long wooden handle. Six people work together to pull the saw. The teeth of this large saw are special-shaped, each one is different, and they are designed by a computer.
, the efficiency is very high, it only takes a few minutes to saw down a tree.
Yang Fan's regiment training, cutting down trees and setting up camp all depended on this thing.
Six broad-shouldered soldiers lifted up the big saw, inserted it directly into the crack of the door, and placed it on the iron-covered one-foot-square hardwood door bolt.
He started pulling up the big saw.
How could the iron sheet be stronger than the saw teeth of the hacksaw? A series of heart-wrenching sounds rang out in the clear morning, and sparks flew from the iron sheet. In a blink of an eye, the iron sheet was cut off, and the wooden door bolts began to be sawed. Suddenly sawdust was flying.
.
Now the city gate no longer pretended to be dead, everything inside exploded, and there were frightened soldiers everywhere, running around and shouting.
Yang Fan looked at Eunuch Wang, smiled softly, and said: "Don't worry, Eunuch, they won't open it, we can open it ourselves. It won't be a big deal. There are five words floating in the sky, it doesn't matter."
