Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 438 Entering the Capital

The capital of the Ming Dynasty may be one of the most prosperous cities in the world, but for Chu Yun, who came from a more prosperous capital in later generations, this place did not make Chu Yun feel a sense of shock.

Chu Yun led a group of generals to break into the capital through Yongding Gate, Zhengyang Gate and the main road.On both sides of the aisle were the people of the capital looking at Chu Yun and the others in awe.Moreover, there were many dead bodies of soldiers of the Dashun Army parked on both sides of the road.

There are also a group of soldiers who are loyal to Li Zicheng in the Dashun Army. In order to protect the hard-won capital and the tens of millions of taels of silver they have looted, they resist here to the death.Those who refused to surrender were shot and killed by the Fu Liao army who broke through the city gate, and they did not wait for reinforcements until the end.

Chu Yun came to the Meridian Gate, and entering from the Meridian Gate is the real Forbidden City.Behind the Forbidden City is Jingshan Mountain.Only this time Chongzhen did not hang himself here.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar Forbidden City, Chu Yun was filled with emotion.This palace of the Ming Dynasty is about to become history.

In front of the Meridian Gate, a group of old ministers of the Ming Dynasty who supported each other were waiting for Chu Yun and the others to arrive.They all had scars or bruises on their faces and bodies, and they walked with a limp.

"Blessed by the heavens, I see Master Wang again!" The former minister of the Ministry of Industry, supported by the former minister of the Ministry of War Zhang Fengyi, led all the officials to bow down to Chu Yun and his party.

From their point of view, Chu Yun is still the general army of Liaodong on the surface, and it is the troops of Daming who drove away the villains. That is the army of King Qin!
"Everyone is suffering, please hurry up." Chu Yun saw that these old ministers gave face, and it was polite to talk to them.

It's just that if these old ministers knew that Li Zicheng was deliberately let in by Chu Yun to search them, they would probably be furious and cursed immediately.But now they are grateful to the savior Chu Yun.

"Since the capital has been recovered and the Holy One is nowhere to be found, we can send people to look for the Holy One while selecting a new monarch from the royal family. After all, a country cannot live without a monarch. In the future, the Liaodong General Army will be the Minister of Zhongxing, and the first assistant will not be allowed. You know." Among the former ministers of the Ming Dynasty, some relatively pedantic Hanlin suddenly made such a suggestion to Chu Yun.

Do you want to support the new emperor and make yourself the chief minister?Chu Yun was amused.What's the use of breaking the chief minister? If I really want to be the chief minister, I still need to work hard and plan for two years?
As soon as the suggestions of the Hanlin were put forward, the generals of the Liao Army, Mrs. Yang, Grand Duke Karl, Liu Xingzha, Changyi, Xu Ji, Chen Jisheng, Zhao Youguang and others immediately raised their faces.If Chu Yun is only the chief minister, then they will only be promoted one or two levels, and they will be controlled by the court. They are not as honorable as the founding ministers.

Knowing the seriousness of the situation, the old ministers of Ming Dynasty also changed their colors one after another, cursing their mothers in their hearts.This is too inappropriate to say!Who doesn't know that the Liao army has been slow to move and only now entered the pass to attack Li Zicheng in order to replace Li Zicheng and Daming? !

"Nanjing city officials have made Fu Wang Zhu Changxun the emperor, and changed the Yuan to "Hongguang". Is it a sign from the heavens? Why don’t we support a new monarch and change the dynasty, so that China will have a new look!” Some officials of the old dynasty who saw the situation was not good simply went to the other extreme, wanting to pat Chu Yun’s horse, and by the way, praised Chu Yun as The new emperor, he himself has become a founding hero from the old minister of the previous dynasty.

"You are too rampant! The news that the Holy Majesty died in the chaos must be a rumor! The Holy Majesty was ordered by the heavens, and since he lives forever, how can the imperial artifact be replaced at will?"

"The eight seal characters written by Li Si's "Desire from Heaven, Longevity and Eternal Prosperity" were written in eight seal characters, but Qin II died, and died of tyranny. Today, the sage is self-willed, so that the trespassers broke through the capital, and the lives are ruined. The town will change sooner or later, it is better to change the dynasty and plead for the common people in the world!"

"You are full of nonsense, when will Your Majesty treat you and me badly?"

……

Chu Yun frowned slightly when he saw many Ming officials suddenly and fiercely argued in front of the Meridian Gate.These ministers are too noisy.They seem to have made a mistake about one thing, that is, whether they want to assist the new monarch or change the dynasty, what they say doesn't count.The only one who can really make a decision is Chu Yun.

Chu Yun couldn't stand it anymore, so he winked at Mrs. Yang.

"All you ministers who have subjugated the country, shut up to me!" Mrs. Yang yelled after following Chu Yun's five years of fighting with her heart.

After Mrs. Yang got angry, these old ministers settled down.

"Military Minister Zhang Fengyi, why are you so silent?" Chu Yun asked Zhang Fengyi who had been kneeling on the ground silently.

"This official is guilty. The crime is to open the city gate to welcome the intruders into the capital. As a result, countless people died under the torture of the intruders because of me. Go to death with him." Zhang Fengyi said.

"We have no face to see the Holy Majesty and the late emperors again. Zhang Fengyi and I will go to Huangquan today to apologize to the late emperor. Colleagues, let's go first!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhang Fengyi stood up, wanting to find the wall and die.

"Stop them quickly." Chu Yun felt even more headache.

These so-called integrity are really out of place, making him feel that this is a pair of live treasures.

"Let us go, we are going to apologize to the late emperor!" Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhang Fengyi were caught by the soldiers of the Fu Liao Army, and they continued to yell.

"Do you think you can get the understanding of the emperors of Ming Dynasty by seeking death? Now the world is suffering because of Li Zicheng and other rogues, and it is torn apart, and countless people are living in dire straits! It is absurd to seek death and life for one's own selfishness!" Chu Yun accused.

Seeing Chu Yun's righteousness, the surviving civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty immediately looked at Chu Yun differently, and even showed admiration in their eyes.This is a sharp contrast with Li Zicheng!
"..." Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Zhang Fengyi blushed, as Chu Yun said they seemed to be selfish people.

Seeing that they settled down in peace and that many former ministers of the Ming Dynasty were waiting for Chu Yun's decision, Chu Yun's face softened slightly.At present, the Fuliao Army only controls the area of ​​Gyeonggi, and only one corner of the huge country has been conquered.Compared with the remaining forces of Li Zicheng and Nanming, the bigger problem is how to take over the large tracts of land that may be conquered next.Although Chu Yun is very likely to re-select officials, at least he can use the influence of these former ministers and officials to make local officials accept the decree of the Liao army.
