When Wang Zhi knocked on the palace, Lu Bing and others protected the imperial city with their Jinyi Guards, and they were not sure whether they could defend it. You should know that once the wars in previous dynasties burned to the inner city, the emperors and generals would basically collapse, and even if there were still heavy troops in the imperial city, it would be difficult to defend it.

This city wall, the last line of defense of the palace gate, is no longer entirely in the comparison of internal and external forces. The competition between the psychological strength of the two sides is also a major key! If Altan comes here, with the accumulation of power of the Hu cavalry in Mobei, it is hard to say that Jiajing might surrender.

However, facing a pirate like Wang Zhi, Xu Jie and others still had some psychological advantages. He calmed down and stepped forward and said, "General Wang, let's lead all the generals to retreat first. Report the military achievements of Xizhimen to the Ministry of War. The cabinet will agree to the title of official title. The Golden Palace will be sealed tomorrow! Leading troops to knock on the palace, after all, the etiquette is not in line with the courtesy."

Wang Zhi looked at the palace gate, and was still unsure of his mind. Although Ma Ye Chen Dong was shouting there, Wang Zhi did not value these reckless men's words. Looking back at Xu Weixue, Xu Weixue did not dare to approach him for a while. Xin Ruzhai watched coldly and sneered in secret, but said, "Why not retreat and pacify the nine gates of the inner city first, then Beijing will be ours."

At this time, Jiajing asked someone to take out some first-grade and second-grade ceremonial guards and send them out. Xu Jie said at the top of the city: "This is the official uniform of first-grade soldiers and generals. You have worn them and you have no civilian status since then."

Wang Zhi hurriedly answered and thanked Shengen, thinking that if he broke in this time, he would take the emperor to kill him? How to deal with the next situation? After thinking about it, he felt that Xin Ruzhai's proposal was reasonable, so he decided to control the inner city first and immediately ordered the generals to capture the Nine Gates.

This Beijing city is a world of flowers. When Ma Ye Chen Dong and others drooled when they saw it, Wang Zhi restricted his subordinates from trespassing in the houses. A few unruly people were killed by him and showed their authority.

The officials and families in the capital were not harassed much, but it was inevitable that they would be frightened. Wang Zhi collected shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and the rogues in the capital were more than 100,000. There were a lot of people here and there, and there were no robbers, but they were naturally inevitably robbed by Wang Zhi on his back.

When Wang Zhi heard that Li Yanzhi came, he sent someone to invite him into the city to share wealth and honor. However, Li Yanzhi, whom he sent, detained all the people he sent, and did not respond. Wang Zhi was furious and ordered the Nine Gates of the Capital not to open to Li Yanzhi.

By the time Li Yan reached Xishan, Wang Zhi had occupied the inner city of Beijing. The generals were quite worried, afraid that Wang Zhi would use the emperor to command the world. After hearing this statement, Li Yan laughed and said, "You should use the emperor to command the world? You have listened to the books on "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"! There will be no such thing under my Ming system. He is a pirate, even if he really uses the emperor to command the emperor, he will not be able to leave Beijing City!"

Therefore, he was calm and sent a group of troops to capture Liangxiang in the south, and asked Qi Jiguang to mobilize two troops to station in Changping and Shunyi. He left only a part of his men to stay in Xishan, but the large army bypassed Shuntian Prefecture and seized Tongzhou.

Li Yanzhi has been appointed by the emperor, the cabinet, and the Ministry of War. These things are legitimate. When they go there, the officials listen to him, and the local gentry also support them.

Seeing that Li Yanzhi had a bad intention and occupied their way back to the east, the thieves were scared. Mao Haifeng said, "Zhang Yue is still in Tianjin! This guy is Li Shuangtou's man! As soon as Li Shuangtou arrived in Tongzhou, he was afraid that Tianjin would fall into his hands, and then our ship would be gone!"

Wang Zhi smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? He even has a million troops in his hand! We are not afraid of surrounding the capital! Don't forget that the emperor is at our hands! When we take control of the court, the Ministry of War will order him to remove his armor and obey the order!"

After hearing this, the thieves said, "It's still the old ship owner who is wise!"

Xu Jie presided over the Ministry of Rites, and indeed in the Golden Palace, he was appointed Wang Zhi as the Marquis of Jinghai, the first-rank special official official official official official, Xu Weixue as the Pinghai Bo, the first-rank special official Ronglu, Mao Haifeng as the General of Dragon and Tiger, Wang Qingxi as the General of Jinwu, Ma Ye Chen Dong as the General of Cavalry, Hong Dizhen, Xu Yuanliang has awarded more than one or two ranks, or the smallest is also the third rank, that is, those little pirates, Aban has a hundred households, and Huo Chang has a thousand households, and they are all hereditary! More than 40,000 people have not failed! Just after so many officials were granted at once, the official robes were not enough, but it was not important. At least the approval documents of the Ministry of War of Personnel have been sent down, and the thieves have thought that they can glorify their ancestors when they get the approval documents!

Only Xin Ruzhai's words were not granted, saying, "Mencius does not receive titles and salaries in the world. As long as the old ship owner is rich and noble and gets what he wants, that's fine." When the thieves heard this, they praised him for his virtue as a monk!

Rewarding these tens of thousands of people is a major project. The Ministry of Rites is so busy that it cannot be completed in just a few days. Outside, Li Yan, until Tongzhou, heard that Zhang Yue's troops were still in Tianjin, couldn't help but smile at Jiang Yifan: "Wang Wufeng is really obsessed with this time! If he is undefeated, it will be unreasonable!"

He sent people to Tianjin to take Zhang Yue and his troops to Tongzhou to obey the orders. Zhang Yue had been waiting for this order for unknown amount of time! He heard the order and walked along the Grand Canal. Within two days, all arrived in Tongzhou to obey the orders. As soon as his army arrived, Li Yanzhi was all incorporated into the army.

Zhang Yue brought all the old subordinates of Wang Mumin, who were extremely powerful elite soldiers! There were only more than 4,000 people, but the organization was complete, with 300 Japanese swordsmen, 1,500 people wearing bird guns, and there were also Folang cannons and imitation Folang cannons. Zhang Yue himself was not a war material, and the soldiers were strong but the general was weak. This man could not play a big role under Zhang Yue's hands, and Wang Zhi was not very jealous of him. But this man was completely different when Li Yanzhi's hands!

When the soldiers saw Li Yanzhi, they were even more excited than seeing Wang Mumin. They shouted at the third son. Li Yanzhi smiled in the camp and said, "Brothers, don't call him the third son. Li San is now the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, the military affairs of Zhili. Everyone should be more aware of it, call him the Governor-General!"

The soldiers were ecstatic and shouted, "I'm looking forward to this day!"

Zhang Yue was quite worried when he heard that Wang Zhi was awarded a title in the Golden Palace and said, "Wang Zhi will not rob and rob, it seems that he will be very heart-willing. If he grasps it well, it may really make him a big deal. Third young master, we have to be careful!"

He was a person who was used to staying at sea and often went to Japan. He was influenced by the political situation there. Jiang Yifan, who was familiar with the political system of the Ming Dynasty, burst into laughter when he heard it: "Zhang A-shuai, have you been overseas for too long? Is our Ming Dynasty the same as Japan? Now we are still a ruler, not a Warring States Period like Japan, and his status is still very important! Wang Zhi was a pirate. By chance, he luckily entered the capital. Even if he was granted a high-ranking official, the literati and officials would think that he was a monkey. Even if he was asked to hold the emperor hostage, no one would listen to him! Suggested people's hearts? Whose hearts he could not accept him!"

Li Yanzhi smiled slightly and said, "That's fine. In fact, what Wang Wufeng's most wrong way this time is that he actually restricted his subordinates from robbing!"

Zhang Yueqi said: "What's so strange about this? When we go to a place, we have this precept."

Li Yanzhi laughed and said, "He may not be able to do what we can do! Because I have different identities from him!"

Jiang Yifan said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! He thought he was a Confucian businessman, but in the eyes of the scholars and officials, he was just a pirate. No matter how hard he tried, others would not recognize him! He also restricted his subordinates from plundering the people. Do he think he was a benevolent and righteous army who punished the people? In this way, he would not even obey him!"

Li Yanzhi agreed with Jiang Yifan's point of view, but he did not laugh, but instead sighed silently and said, "Wang Wufeng's aura has not yet been built. He is indeed not even as good as the Yellow Turban Huang Chao. In addition to the coastal prefectures and counties, how many people in the north know who the ship owner of the Five Peaks is? Now it is not a chaotic world, so what if he even takes the emperor? Didn't the Ola go south and kidnap the emperor? As a result, there is nothing wrong with it! Wang Zhi hijacked Beijing as a pirate. The capital issued an order again, and the governors of the prefectures and counties in various provinces will not listen. There are vassals in various places, and Nanjing has another set of centers! When it is really critical, the banner of Nanjing is up, and I am surrounded by a large army. Whether he hijacked the emperor or the cabinet, he can only sit in bed and wait for death if he doesn't leave the capital! Therefore, we don't have to hurry, take it slowly, take it slowly."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he felt a little pity for Wang Zhi. He felt that he had done so many things but had taken a dead end. He sighed: "From the beginning, he shouldn't have taken this path, and he shouldn't have gone north."

Unexpectedly, Li Yanzhi said: "No, in fact, he should have gone north that day. There is no way out if he just circles southeast. Sooner or later, he will be crushed to death by the court with a thousand pounds! Since there is this great opportunity for a thousand years, if I were him and had a strong heart, I would have to go north and take a try. Of course, if I had decided to go north, the practice would be different from him."

Jiang Yifan and Zhang Yue were both strange and asked in unison: "If you change the third young master, you are in Wang Zhi's position, what would you do?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "I am not Wang Zhi."

Jiang Yifan smiled and lured, "I said if."

Li Yan smiled, then looked down and said, "What I said below is just that, if you don't keep it in your heart, it won't work."

Jiang Yifan and Zhang Yue both said: "Of course."

Li Yan hesitated for a long time, and seemed to feel that the next words were difficult to say, but finally he said them.

"Everyone should know what he is first, and then know what he can get at most. Don't think about it..." Jiang Yifan didn't understand this sentence, but Li Yanzhi continued: "Wang Zhi still has delusions. He wants to be a marquis and prime minister legitimately, and he also wants to continue to be free overseas. But his identity is a pirate and his conditions are not enough, so this is just delusions. If I were Wang Zhi, I would have the current opportunity again..."

Speaking of this, Li Yan paused, but slashed his hand to Beijing City and said, "I will kill into the imperial city and order all the royal families, prime ministers and ministers to be imprisoned first, and then behead the royal families in Beijing, killing them all! All the prime ministers and eunuchs who refuse to surrender - all these things must be carried out in public so that everyone in the world knows that the emperor is dead and the court is dead. Follow the troops to plunder the capital, and then all the pirates will benefit and return, and there will be no way out except for him. Even Hong Dizhen and others dare not have any other intentions. They will then recruit the army to join the army, get all the wealth of the capital as military resources, and then set fire to burn the capital into a piece of white land..."

Li Yanzhi said this, Jiang Yifan had already gasped and couldn't help but tremble. However, Li Yanzhi had not finished speaking: "Follow up to Tianjin as soon as possible, and head south in two directions. The land was a miscellaneous army that had just been collected in the capital of Jingji, while the water was elite sea. The army plundered all the way, disrupting Zhili, Shandong, Huaibei, and Huainan. The navy took advantage of the north wind rising and arrived straight to Nanjing by sea. He caught Nanjing off guard. Now Nanjing's military is afraid that it is worse than Beijing. If it can capture Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty will be killed at all, and then sent people to Fengyang to dig the Zhu family's imperial tomb..."

Jiang Yifan was frightened and shouted: "If this is the case, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"Of course, the world is in chaos!" Li Yanzhi's face also became a little dark: "At that time, the vassal kings in various places will proclaim themselves emperors, foreign tribes may take the opportunity to rise, and the Ming Dynasty will be in chaos! Although the scholars and officials in the world will denounce Wang Zhi, some of these people will kill each other, some will wait and see, and some will even be in a rat at the end of the front, and we will not be able to form a climate. Once the situation develops like this, we will be powerless to do anything about the current situation. Wang Zhi can calmly choose a place near the sea, or Nanzhili, or Zhejiang, gradually operate its own base camp, grow grain on land to supply the army, and establish a naval protection trade line at sea to supplement military funds. If you are lucky, you can gradually sweep the various places to achieve great things. If you are not lucky, you can still be in power for a few years, decades..."

A blazing fire and bloody scene appeared in Jiang Yifan and Zhang Yue’s hearts! If Wang Zhi really did this, he would use his own hands to drag the whole world into hell! If there was really such a day, half of the population in this country would be afraid of death, and he would definitely become a great demon who slaughtered millions of people - of course, he might also become the hero among the heroes worshipped by billions of people!

Li Yanzhi was silent after speaking here, as if he felt that such a "strategy" was a sin to talk. After a while, he spoke again and sighed: "From the day when Wang Zhi couldn't stand the temptation of Xin Ruzhai, this was his best ending. But unfortunately, looking at his current actions, Wang Zhi was only Wang Zhi after all. His identity was destined to be the evil person, or the most evil kind. Only by being evil to the extreme can he have the chance, but he was still bound by some Confucian things, dreaming that he could be Ban Chao or Cao Cao, but he didn't know that he was actually worse than Huang Chao!"

Jiang Yifan and Zhang Yue heard it as if they were in a dream. After a long time, they shouted: "Three Young Master, then we have to act quickly. Don't let Wang Zhi figure it out. Do what you said, that would be bad!"

Li Yanzhi smiled and said, "He should have taken action before I arrived. Now he has missed the first step. It's too late to do this. I won't let him succeed. What's more, do you think Wang Zhi wants to get these?" (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log in.
