Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 221: Kneel down immediately when you see the Emperor!
When he saw the endless black army kneeling down to Zhu Youtang.

The more than 200,000 troops outside the city were all moved.

Inspired by these people, some people in the army of more than 200,000 finally knelt down tremblingly, kowtowed to Zhu Youtang and shouted "Long live the emperor".

"I...I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

With the first, there is the second, the third...

Large groups of soldiers laid down their weapons, knelt down, and began to worship Zhu Youtang.

They shouted tremblingly: "Common people pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

One group of people knelt down, and another group of people followed suit!

In the end, the entire army knelt down before Zhu Youtang!
When you see the Emperor, kneel down immediately!
Yu Shen, who was on the city wall, saw that his army of more than 200,000 troops, which were gathered from all over the place, knelt down and surrendered to Zhu Youtang in groups before the battle even started.

In his heart, he felt extremely shocked and felt boundless fear!

"Get up! Everyone, get up!"

"Don't kneel! Don't kneel!!!"

Yu Shen was so anxious that he kept jumping up and down. Cold sweat began to appear all over his body and his heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out.

At the same time, he found it difficult to breathe.

A huge despair enveloped him, making him almost faint.

Yu Shen originally thought that he occupied the capital and had a safe place to defend.

There were also 250,000 troops, 10,000 chevaux-de-frise, and the soldiers' armor and weapons were all the Ming Dynasty's top equipment.

With such strong military strength, they were able to withstand the siege of Zhu Youtang's army.

Not to mention being able to defeat Zhu Youtang's army, but defending the city walls and preventing Zhu Youtang from returning to Beijing should not be a problem.

But he never expected that the battle hadn't even started yet.

Zhu Youtang merely showed up, and the army he had gathered with great difficulty rebelled in an instant.

How could this happen? How could this happen?

Yu Shen's eyes were bloodshot and his expression was crazy. He roared at the army under the city like a madman.

"You are surrendering to the Oirat! Get up and fight!"

"Those who surrender in battle will have their entire family beheaded and their property confiscated!"

"Don't you even care about the lives of your own family members?!"

"Everyone, get up and kill the enemy!"

"..."

On the city wall, Yu Shen shouted at the top of his lungs, trying to use his family again to threaten the soldiers below the city.

But this time, surrender to Zhu Youtang was a foregone conclusion, and no one would listen to Yu Shen's orders anymore.

Yu Shen was desperate and immediately gave orders to the officer in charge of the team.

"Officer, execute military law immediately and execute the surrendering soldiers!"

"Kill! Kill until they stand up to fight the enemy!"

"Yes, Master!"

Yu Shen's order was extremely vicious, attempting to use the threat of death to intimidate these soldiers into rising up and killing the enemy.

The officers in charge of the team were all border troops brought by Cao Li from Liaodong.

They were the most deeply involved in this mutiny, but some of them have come to their senses while others are still stubbornly stubborn.

In particular, those Liaodong border troops who were selected to serve as commanding officers were Cao Li's staunch supporters.

Hearing Yu Shen's order at this moment, these people immediately executed the military order and killed the local troops who surrendered to Zhu Youtang.

But the number of surrenders was too great. When the majority of the surrendered were in the majority, the officer who still carried out Yu Shen's military orders became the enemy of the army.

Before the commander's knife fell on the heads of the surrendering soldiers, a counterattack had already been launched within the surrendering army.

"Bold rebels, His Majesty is here in person, and not only do you refuse to surrender, you even dare to force us to fight against His Majesty!"

"We will definitely put down the rebellion for your majesty and kill all of you rebels!"

"Kill! Kill all these rebels!"

"..."

The soldiers outside the city gate immediately betrayed Yu Shen and started a massacre of the Liaodong border troops!
The situation is now very clear. If you surrender to Zhu Youtang, you may be killed by Yu Shen's soldiers.

But if you don't surrender to Zhu Youtang, you will definitely be killed by Zhu Youtang's soldiers!
In this situation, any normal person would know what to choose.

There were no surprises. The vast majority of soldiers made normal choices through their actions!

"Kill! Kill all these officers!"

"Yu Shen is a running dog, he must not die a good death!"

"Kill all the rebels and welcome His Majesty back to the capital!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

"..."

The commander-in-chief placed in the team by Yu Shen was immediately torn to pieces by the angry local soldiers!
Those Liaodong border troops who tried to attack these local troops were immediately chopped to pieces by the local troops that outnumbered them several times!
The capital city immediately fell into chaos!
The shrill screams continued to ring out!

Every minute and every second, rebels fall miserably!

Red flowers of blood bloomed in every corner of the army!

The blood soon dyed the land outside the city gate red, bringing with it waves of disgusting stench.

When his soldiers began to surrender to Zhu Youtang uncontrollably, Yu Qian knew that his situation was hopeless!
Yu Shen was so frightened that his legs went weak and he fell to the ground.

He didn't understand how things turned out like this!

He had clearly done his best within his capabilities. Every move he made was almost a one-to-one replica of Yu Qian's moves during the Battle of the Capital.

Yu Qian mobilized the grain transport troops, and he also mobilized the grain transport troops.

Yu Qian forced local militia to join, and he also forced local militia to join.

Yu Qian allowed border troops to enter the capital, and he also allowed border troops to enter the capital.

Yu Qian issued decrees that combined kindness and severity, and he also issued decrees. The decrees he issued were even the original versions of those issued by Yu Qian!
But why did Yu Qian win the battle to defend the capital and force Oirat Yesen and Zhu Qizhen to flee in panic?

But Zhu Youtang merely showed up and didn't even say a word, and he was defeated so thoroughly!

He doesn't understand!

He doesn't understand!
In fact, the process of this Tumu Incident was exactly the same as the Tumu Incident during the Zhengtong period.

The only difference is that Yang Hong’s son Yang Jun succeeded when he attacked Zhu Qizhen’s camp at Tumu Fort.

However, Yang Tong's son Yang Kui failed when he attacked Zhu Youtang's camp at Tumu Fort!

After his camp was attacked, Zhu Qizhen called for troops from Xuanfu, Datong and other places.

However, Xuanfu and Datong had already mutinied, and Zhu Qizhen was unable to mobilize a single soldier, so he could only follow Yesen back to the grassland.

Then he borrowed the power of the Oirat tribe to help him return to Beijing.

But at that time, Zhu Qizhen had only 30,000 Wala cavalry.

Yu Qian mobilized nearly 300,000 troops, with ten soldiers fighting one against the other, and the strength disparity between the soldiers was extremely large.

If Yesen ran slower, he might even be wiped out by Yu Qian!
Moreover, the Oirat cavalry around Zhu Qizhen further confirmed the claim that Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Oirat people.

Let the soldiers transferred by Yu Qian kill the enemy without mercy.

Zhu Youtang, who successfully counterattacked and killed Yang Kui, also went to Xuanfu and Datong to patrol the border.

Xuanfu and Datong also mutinied and refused to open the gates to Zhu Youtang.

But Zhu Youtang relied on the 50,000-man Xianzhen Camp and the 100,000-man Ming expeditionary force to blast open the city gates of Xuanfu and Datong.

After killing all the officers and soldiers involved in the rebellion, inspecting the nine borders and completely controlling the north, Zhu Youtang returned to the capital with his army.

At this time, Zhu Youtang had an army of 150,000, more than 10,000 factory guards and more than 300,000 logistics troops.

The team that Yu Shendong cobbled together only had 250,000 people.

Not only was the disparity in combat power no longer huge, but the troops around Zhu Youtang were all regular troops of the Ming Dynasty.

When Yu Shen's lie that Zhu Youtang was captured by the Oirat people was immediately exposed.

It was only natural that the soldiers who were transferred to protect the capital would collectively surrender to Zhu Youtang.

To put it bluntly, it’s the same old saying.

Whoever wins, who they help.

And whoever they help will win more thoroughly!

In fact, Yu Shen had only heard that Zhu Youtang was attacked in Tumu Fortress, but he rashly launched the power seizure without finding out the facts.

Yu Shen's failure was inevitable.

But this cannot be blamed on Yu Shen for being impulsive and not finding out the facts immediately.

It was actually because of the last Battle of Tumu that these officials in the capital had already formed a preconceived impression.

After all, it is difficult to guard against a thief within your own family. When faced with an attack from your own people, who can guarantee that you will remain unscathed?
If Zhu Youtang did not have 50,000 soldiers in the Formation Trap and 10,000 factory guards, Yang Kui would have really succeeded!

The situation in the capital was so tense at that time that every side was racing against time.

If you take the time to find out the facts before getting involved in the power struggle, it will be too late.

At that time, it was not only Yu Shen who did not send anyone to investigate.

No one in the entire capital city investigated this matter.

Because of the impact of the last Tumu Incident, everyone subconsciously believed that something must have happened to Zhu Youtang.

But no one expected that not only did Zhu Youtang not get into trouble, he also unified the nine borders!
At this moment, Zhu Youtang led an army of 150,000 back to Beijing.

The more than 200,000 troops outside the city surrendered to Zhu Youtang in an instant.

In this case, who can stop Zhu Youtang from returning to the capital? !
Zhu Youtang merely showed up and made all the forces in the capital who had tried so hard to seize power become a laughing stock!
They were in the capital at the time, scheming and plotting, and using all their might to seize power. But now it seems so ridiculous!

It turns out that from the beginning to the end, it was just a farce of wishful thinking by these Beijing officials.

The highest power of the Ming Dynasty has always been in the hands of Zhu Youtang from beginning to end!

……

In the distance, Zhu Youtang saw the army outside the city kneeling down to him, and a long-lost smile appeared on his face.

It seems that the situation is not too bad. These soldiers who were temporarily transferred to the capital are still loyal to him.

Zhu Youtang looked at the officials and soldiers kneeling on the ground around him and felt extremely satisfied.

"Be flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After everyone stood up, Zhu Youtang saw that a melee had already broken out outside the gate of the capital.

Zhu Youtang knew that these must be soldiers who had surrendered to him and were fighting with the army that refused to surrender.

Zhu Youtang narrowed his eyes slightly, made a prompt decision, and gave the order immediately.

"Troops in front, quickly remove the barricades and stay away from the city gate!"

"Gao Shun, gather the trap camp immediately and launch a charge!"

Gao Shun's expression was stern, and he clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
