Chapter 288 The Imperial Guards Invade the Palace of the King of Chu
King Zhu Huakui of Chu did not expect that the Imperial Guards would suddenly appear outside Wuchang City, nor did they expect that these Imperial Guards would break through the strong city of Wuchang so easily, nor did they expect that their 100,000 troops gathered together were defeated and fled in an instant.
Even many soldiers turned against each other, and when they were forced to fight against the imperial guards, they came back to attack the personal soldiers of the royal palace who were already owed blood.
You know, an hour ago, King Zhu Huakui of Chu was still dreaming of climbing to the 95th and controlling the world. He was even happy, one was to marry Wei Min'er, and the other was to be the master of the world.
But who knew that the dream was shattered in an instant. Not to mention rebelling and becoming the emperor, he would not even handle the happy events. At this time, he was in a hurry to change into the clothes of the common people and preparing. When he heard the sound of gunfires from outside, he felt even more confused: "Hurry up!"
The Imperial Guard had already broken through the royal city at this time and had already come straight to the royal palace. In addition to the King of Chu's own personal soldiers, there was a small group of people fighting stubbornly, they almost scattered birds and beasts.
This may have been a farce. King Zhu Huakui of Chu was miserably an agent of the reactionary gentry, but these gentry with a businessman background were as radical as the Donglin Party and were good at talking nonsense in the judgment of the situation, which made them always make people laugh.
But these literati had to admit that their incitement and ability to bewitch people was quite strong. King Zhu Huakui of Chu was originally a timid and cautious person, but because of Ruan Dacheng's temptation, he did all the vassal kings in the world who wanted to do but dared not do.
This is also what Zhu Youxiao fears the most. Although scholars failed to rebel for three years, there is always the shadow of scholars behind the rebels.
"Prince, it's not good. The imperial guards are rushing in. We can't resist it." The left chief of the prince ran in and shouted panting.
When the King of Chu Zhu Huakui heard what the chief said, he pushed away the maid who was wearing him and ran directly towards the secret passage. But at this time, an imperial guard had already rushed in and stood at the entrance of the secret passage with a torch.
Seeing this, King Zhu Huakui of Chu had to run to the east courtyard of the royal palace, but at this time another imperial guard came over. He was like a stray dog and had to run to the west courtyard of the royal palace.
At this time, the gate of the West Courtyard was also controlled by the Imperial Guards. Seeing this, he had to drill into a more hidden dog hole.
Unexpectedly, he was too fat and got stuck in the dog hole halfway through.
Fortunately, there was a banana forest outside the dog cave, blocking his figure, and there were several Tangdi trees blocking his butt. In addition, the darkness of the night, so there was no trace of the imperial guards who came.
However, at this time, there was already a loud shout outside, and the cry of Hua was naturally "Catch King Zhu Huakui of Chu alive!"
Zhu Huakui was very anxious when he heard this, but he couldn't struggle out of the dog hole now, and he couldn't call for people, because at this time, everyone in the palace was running around, so how could he get the prince?
At this time, Wei Min'er, who was covering her veil and preparing to go to the Yitang Chapel in the side room, also heard the shouts from outside. She didn't care about the etiquette and rules, hurriedly lifted the veil and asked the maid beside her: "What's going on? Why is it so messy outside?"
"Girl, girl, it's not good. The officers and soldiers rushed in. Many officers and soldiers came. They were all wearing shiny leather boots and tied leather belts, and shouting that they would capture the Prince of Chu alive!"
At this time, a maid ran in and said the situation in panic. Wei Min'er was not afraid. After all, she had experienced it once before, but she was still a little curious, curious about how the officers and soldiers of this dignified Chu Palace dared to break in. Moreover, after the maid's description, it seemed that the person who came was not simple officers and soldiers, but seemed to be the imperial guards that were still mysterious in the eyes of the people.
The army, which was neatly worn by leather boots, left a deep impression on the scholars and citizens of Jinling City, and Wei Min'er was no exception.
"But, since the Imperial Guards are here, can he come too?" Wei Min'er thought of this and walked out calmly. At this time, there was already a mess outside the house. The inner servants of the royal palace ran around like headless flies, but the Imperial Guards who ran in actually did nothing to them. As soon as these Imperial Guards came in, they just sealed the houses of each courtyard, and then stood in front of each room to guard them.
Seeing this, Wei Min'er secretly admired the discipline of these guards. However, when she saw some people knocking or falling from time to time because of instinctive fear, she shouted loudly: "Don't be afraid, don't run around, stand there, they are guards and will not do anything to us!"
When Wei Min'er shouted, many people calmed down and began to stand still. They also realized that these people did not come to kill anyone and harm anyone. In addition, the Imperial Guards had practiced many times in Huguang area, but there was no incident of disturbing the people. However, after Zuo Liangyu's army arrived, they combed all the surrounding prefectures and counties in Huguang like combs. Therefore, after realizing that these officers and soldiers were the troops of the Imperial Guards, even the people from the royal palace began to calm down.
"Miss Wei, the deputy director of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, isn't it?" At this time, Fu Dahai walked in. As the highest commander of the Imperial Guards in Huguang area, he was in charge of more than 20,000 of the most elite main artillery soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, compared with the former momentum of being in the Beijing camp, he had already had a strong aura of a superior.
"It's the little girl, I don't know that this general is." Wei Min'er just asked, when Fu Dahai suddenly hit his heel and saluted Wei Min'er with a bang. The guard behind him also saluted Wei Min'er in an orderly manner, which made Wei Min'er take a step back in fear, but he also felt a unique masculinity from the bottom of his heart.
"Now, Huguang is indeed the commander of the new recruits in the Imperial Guards for the time being, Fu Dahai, has met Wei's chief writer!"
After Fu Dahai said this, Wei Min'er hurriedly bowed and said, while Fu Dahai suddenly changed his face and shouted loudly: "Come here, take the writer of Wei down and hand it over to the admiral Qin Botong. Based on the people and others, we will continue to seize the Chu Palace and find the whereabouts of the Chu Palace. If there is any resistance, kill it without any slightest!"
"Yes, if there is a resistance, kill it without any hesitation!"
Wei Min'er didn't expect that the commander of the Imperial Guard, named Fu Dahai, was polite just now, but in the blink of an eye, he was as cold as a vicious person. Seeing that some insiders of the royal palace who were trying to prevent the Imperial Guard from entering the inner room were killed, she couldn't help but shout: "You can't do this, you can't do this!"
