Chenyang City was just a military town in the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he established twelve guards in the Liaodong area. Among them, the Shenyang Zhongwei and the Zuowei stationed in the Shenyang area. At the same time, he ordered Bao Cheng to lead the former Henan, and 1328 Shandong school soldiers were stationed in Shenyang.

In the more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, Chenyang was located along the Liaohe River and was the main water and land transportation route in the Liaodong region, so the population gradually became denser. However, the status of Chenyang in the Ming Dynasty was not very important, and it was much worse than that of Liaoyang, where the Liaodong Dusi was stationed at that time.

The great development of Chenyang began in the Qing Dynasty. In 1625, Nurhaci moved the capital to Chenyang and built palaces in Shenyang, building buildings such as the Tianming Khan Palace, the Dazheng Hall and the Shiwang Pavilion. All of this caused a huge change in the appearance of Chenyang City, and it was also the beginning of Chenyang's real development from a military town to a big city.

After Zhu Hongsan re-occupied Chenyang, he also used this place as the garrison of the Northeast Governor, migrating a large number of people from the inner pass to Chenyang, and directly promoted Chenyang Congjun Town to a prefecture-level unit.

The current terrain of Chenyang is an elliptical city, with the imperial palace facing north in the middle of the city. The North City is also the garrison of all levels of yamen, the Northeast Governor's Office, the Governor's Office, and the Governor's Office, and the Governor's Office are all here.

The imperial palace in Chenyang is similar to the imperial palace in Beijing, and is also divided into imperial city and palace city. The imperial city is distributed with various yamen and the palaces of various princes of the Qing Dynasty. However, these princes are now rewarded by Zhu Hongsan to meritorious ministers. Zhao Guodong's home is located in the north of the palace city, which is the residence of Ajige at that time.

In the middle of the imperial city is the imperial palace, which is the later Chenyang Palace Museum. Of course, the area of ​​the Chenyang Palace Museum is far from comparable to that of the Beijing Palace Museum. However, because Chenyang is located in the cold Liaodong, the palaces and walls in the palace city are very thick, which also increases the defense ability while preventing cold.

The place where Zhu Hongsan lived was the Huangji Hall in the palace city, which was the Qingning Palace where Huang Taiji lived. Zhu Hongsan changed all the names of the Qing Dynasty in the Chenyang Forbidden City, the Daqing Gate became the Daming Gate, and the Qingning Palace was also changed to the Huangji Hall.

As Zhu Hongsan's direct descendant, Zhao Guodong naturally knew where the emperor lived, so his main attack direction was also the Huangji Hall. Thanks to the small area of ​​the Chenyang Forbidden City, the Huangji Hall is less than 200 meters away from the rear gate and the rear gate. It can be said that as long as the rear gate is controlled, the emperor Zhu Hongsan will fall into Zhao Guodong's hands. Zhao Guodong also made this idea, so he decided to start from the rear gate today.

Zhao Guodong took two thousand people away from the schoolyard at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, patrolling the streets all the way to Houzaimen. On the way, they also encountered several teams of the Shenyang Inspection Office. However, they had received a notice from the Shenyang Prefectural Office and did not ask much about the soldiers entering the city.

As Zhao Guodong got closer and closer to Houzaimen, his palms were covered with sweat. Zhao Guodong had seen countless big scenes in his life, but today he was rebelling and arresting the emperor, so it was impossible for Zhao Guodong to not be nervous.

Three hundred meters away from Houzaimen, a man stumbled out of the darkness. The soldier in charge saw someone on the opposite side and asked, "Who is ahead? Stop, stop and shoot!"

The man shouted loudly, "Don't shoot, I am the guard of the palace, who are you from?"

The officer in charge heard him say this and quickly said, "We are the Second Division's official army. We are ordered by the Governor to patrol the night. Are you the imperial guard in the palace? Is there anything wrong?"

At this time, the man had already run to the front of the team. Then the lights saw the man wearing a bright yellow flying fish suit and an embroidered spring knife slung around his waist, but the knife was gone and only the scabbard was still there.

The Jinyiwei saw the soldier breathing a sigh of relief and pulled the officer and whispered: "Brother, take me to see the Governor, there is something big about it!"

At this time, Zhao Guodong and Zhang Bao behind had already walked to the front. Zhao Guodong opened his mouth and asked, "What's going on? Why don't you leave?"

The Jinyiwei saw Zhao Guodong and knelt down and said loudly: "Governor General, something major happened in the palace. The prince-in-law Zhao Hu conspired to rebel and had already controlled His Majesty in the palace. The last general is the Jinyiwei households in the palace. Taking advantage of Zhao Hu's inattention, he escaped. Please ask the Governor General to go and save His Majesty!"

The news about the Jinyiwei is actually full of loopholes. Zhao Hu is a general in the army, where can he run into the palace to launch a rebellion? The palace ban in the Ming Dynasty is very strict. When the sun sets, the harem gate is locked. You can come out by a small Jinyiwei household. However, the news about the Jinyiwei is too explosive. In addition, most of the soldiers of the Second Division are ignorant. After hearing that the emperor he beloved was controlled, there was still careful thinking about the loopholes. They all shouted and wanted to go in to save the emperor.

Zhao Guodong heard the Jinyiwei say this and knew that this guy must be a chess piece arranged by the King of Qin. However, Zhao Guodong also needed this name. Zhao Guodong said to the four battalion commanders around him: "Everyone has heard that you have been deeply grateful to the emperor. Now it is the time to save you. Come! Follow me to Houzaimen and let's save the emperor!"

These soldiers were young men of seventeen or eighteen years old, and even four battalion commanders were only in their twenties. They were just as young as they were eager to make achievements. When they heard the governor say this, they shouted loudly that they would fight to fight the enemy and rescue the emperor from the tiger's mouth.

This place is less than 300 meters away from Houzaimen. So many people shouting outside the city wall naturally aroused the vigilance of the Jinyiwei in the palace. Today, the person guarding Houzaimen was Zhu Hongsan's son-in-law Li Fu, who was also the son-in-law of the Changsha Princess Zhu Xiang. After Li Fu got married, he could not serve as an officer of the Imperial Guard, so he became the governor of the Jinyiwei. This time he followed Zhu Hongsan to take charge of the emperor's defense work.

Li Fu heard a noise outside at Houzai Gate and quickly climbed up to the city wall. This is a palace city. Who is so brave enough to make noise for no reason?

As soon as Li Fu climbed to the Zaimen, he saw a team running from afar. He saw that the soldiers in the army were in an orderly manner, and the head was Zhao Guodong, the Governor of Northeast China.

Li Fu naturally recognized Zhao Guodong. When he saw him coming, Li Fu stood on the city wall and shouted: "Governor, there were people making noise outside the palace wall just now. Did you catch anyone?"

Zhao Guodong looked at Li Fu. He recognized that this was the emperor's son-in-law, but how could Li Fu's status be compared with Zhao Guodong? Even Li Fu's son Li Fugui did not even take it into Zhao Guodong's eyes.

Zhao Guodong ignored Li Fu's question and said directly: "Changsha Prince Consort, open the palace gate quickly. This governor received a secret report that someone wanted to disrespect the emperor. This governor brought people to rescue the emperor!"

Li Fu was stunned when he heard this, disrespectful to the emperor. What does it mean? Does anyone rebel? However, the palace city was peaceful and there was no abnormal movement. Li Fu looked back at the palace city. Except for the lights on several major buildings, the others were dark, and it did not look like there was any abnormal movement. You should know that the entire Shenyang Forbidden City was not very big. In ancient times, there was no light pollution and the view was wide. Li Fu could see the situation in the Daming Gate at the front.

"Governor General, there was no abnormal movement in the palace!"

Zhao Guodong heard Li Fu's explanation and said impatiently: "You open the palace gate first!"

At this time, Li Fu felt something was abnormal, but he still didn't believe that Zhao Guodong, who was the emperor's direct line, could betray the emperor.

"Governor General, according to the palace system, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to open the palace gate after dark. Can Governor General have the emperor's imperial edict?"

"Fuck you, do you still need to open the door if there is an imperial edict? Open the palace door quickly, and it will delay your Majesty's affairs for you!"

The more Zhao Guodong said this, Li Fu felt suspicious, so he naturally could not open the door. Li Fu thought about it and called a small flag to ask him to go into the palace to find the eunuch Li Chengen and ask him what he should do. Li Fu also signaled his subordinates to prepare in case Zhao Guodong took the risk.

When Li Fu had just asked his subordinates to prepare, he heard a few loud noises from several houses outside the palace. As an officer, Li Fu naturally knew what the sound was, it was the sound of the army cannons.

It turned out that Zhao Guodong was having a quarrel with Li Fu here. Seeing that it would be okay for Zhang Bao to continue like this, he quickly asked a few confidants to go to the neighboring house to get the cannons that had been hidden early, and fired a volley at the back slaughter gate.

After a burst of smoke, Zhang Bao looked at the Houzai Gate carefully. There was nothing unusual. Except for the city gate being shot out by a solid bullet, there was nothing unusual. This was due to Huang Taiji's achievements back then. Huang Taiji built this palace city as solid as a solid soup. In addition to the super thick city wall, the nine city gates were also made of pig iron wrapped in three-inch thick wooden boards. In addition, the field guns used by the army were all eight-pound cannons, and this small-caliber field cannon was really not easy to use when it encountered such a thick city wall and palace gate.

After a long time, Li Fu recovered from the roar of the cannons. He grabbed the deputy beside him and shouted: "Hurry, go to the palace to report to the emperor, Zhao Guodong has rebelled! Let everyone go to the city wall to fight to the death with Zhao Guodong!"

Li Fu didn't know how many people followed Zhao Guodong to rebel, but he was responsible for only more than 200 people guarding the Houzaimen, and there were cannons on the other side, so this battle was difficult to fight.

After Zhao Guodong waited for the smoke to spread, he found that there was no major loss in the city gate. He cursed in anger: "Your mother, Zhang Bao! What should I do next?"

Zhang Bao thought for a while and said, "Sir, the Army's field guns are not powerful enough, but the gunpowder packs that we brought last will be enough. It's better to pile the gunpowder packs at the city gate and blow up the rear slaughter gate!"

Zhao Guodong thought it was right. Time is tight now, and catching the emperor is the priority. Zhao Guodong quickly organized his soldiers to suppress and shoot the Jinyiwei on the city wall. The Jinyiwei did not have a long spear, but it was enough to shoot a short spear. While suppressing the Jinyiwei, Zhao Guodong asked someone to pile all the gunpowder bags at the city gate, and in order to ensure the power, he piled up five or six hundred kilograms of gunpowder.

After they were all ready, at the order of Zhao Guodong, the entire Houzai Gate turned into a huge fireball. Houzai Gate was completely blown to the sky, and even the surrounding city walls were blown down for more than 50 meters. Poor, the Jinyiwei guards guarded on the city walls all turned into meat mud in the flames.

Zhao Guodong was concerned about the life and death of Li Fu and the Jinyiwei. He was overjoyed when he saw the Houzai Gate being bombed. He quickly pulled out his waist and shouted: "Brothers, rush in, kill all the rebellious Jinyiwei, and rescue our Emperor!"
