22 Stubborn

[New book is requested to collect and recommend it!]

"The Lord, the generals who were advised by the soldiers outside the palace jointly sent a memorial to the emperor for review."

Soon, Wang Chengen came in from outside the palace, held a memorial and handed it to Zhu Yong.

Zhu Yong opened it and saw that there was a joint letter from the Ming generals who participated in this military admonition. He first apologized to Chongzhen and then complained.

It tells the great harm that the reconstruction of the Jinyiwei will bring to the country and the country, saying that they had no choice but to initiate this military admonition for the future of the Ming Dynasty.

Finally, I hope that Chongzhen could take back Cheng’s life, abolish Jinyiwei and Dongchang forever, and execute Luo Yangxing and Cao Huachun.

As long as Chongzhen was willing to take back his order, they would end the military admonition and would be willing to accept any punishment from Chongzhen.

"snort!"

After reading the memorial, Zhu Yong snorted coldly and threw the memorial directly to the ground.

"A group of traitors actually wanted to use this method to force me to compromise with them. How could I let them succeed?

Big companion, you personally leave the palace and find Li Yinghan and tell him that you will immediately lead the soldiers of the three camps to suppress all the rebels who entered the city without authorization.

Anyone who dares to resist will be treated as a rebellious person.

You tell Li Yinghan that as long as he suppresses all the rebels entering the city, he can make meritorious service and make up for his previous crime of defending the city.

Otherwise, I will punish him.”

"The Master thinks twice. If you force these generals into a hurry, they will jump over the wall. This time the military admonition will probably turn into a real rebellion!

It’s better for the Lord to pretend to agree to their request first and wait for them…”

"Absolutely impossible."

In the case of Chongzhen's safety, Wang Chengen wanted to persuade Zhu Yong to agree to the request of these soldiers and generals first, and wait until they put down their weapons before dealing with them.

But before Wang Chengen finished saying this, Zhu Yong understood what he meant and directly refused.

"Big partner, you're confused!

Who am I? The Emperor of Ming Dynasty, you have no jokes. When have you ever seen the emperor go back on his word?

If I really do this, it will damage my authority. Who will obey my orders in the future?

Moreover, if I really succumb to these traitors, if anyone who refuses to accept my orders in the future will follow their examples and force me to compromise with them?

If I do this, I, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, will become Emperor Xian of Han."

Zhu Yong sighed and said to Wang Chengen.

"Ah, Master, I am confused, but what if I really force them..."

When Wang Chengen heard Zhu Yong say this, he was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and admitted his mistake, but he was still worried.

"Hmph, what kind of military admonition? In my opinion, military admonition is a rebellion. From the moment these people lead their troops into the city, they are rebelling.

Those who rebel will be killed without mercy.

How could I be afraid of these few thousand rebels? Are the guards in my palace raised in vain? Are the three soldiers in the capital a decoration?

You immediately leave the palace and bring my will to Li Yinghan. I don’t believe it, even he dares to rebel.”

"Yes, the lord, the empress will leave the palace now."

Seeing that Chongzhen had made up his mind, Wang Chengen did not dare to persuade him anymore. He immediately took people out of the palace to find Li Yinghan, the commander-in-chief who was left behind in the capital at this time.

Zhu Yong also saw that there were not many soldiers participating in the military admonition this time, and it was not enough to threaten Chongzhen's life.

Besides, even if it threatens Chongzhen's life, it is nothing to Zhu Yong. As long as there is no accident in his master's body, he will not be afraid.

Zhu Yong would never use the authority of Emperor Chongzhen as a bargaining chip for compromise.

For Zhu Yong, the greatest role of Chongzhen's clone is even the authority brought by his emperor's identity.

This time, if Chongzhen really compromised with these soldiers, it would be even more difficult for Chongzhen to govern the already chaotic Ming Dynasty in the future.

So this time, Zhu Yong chose to fight hard and would never compromise with these Ming generals who were warned by the military.

Moreover, Zhu Yong had known for a long time that Li Yinghan, the commander-in-chief who controlled the three elite troops in the capital at this time, did not belong to any faction of the Donglin Party or the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party.

Even the Li family was loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, and many of the ancestors of the Li family were the chief guards of the palace, so Zhu Yong judged that the possibility of Li Yinghan betraying Chongzhen was very small.

As long as Li Yinghan's mind is not in trouble, he should not disobey Zhu Yong's orders and be charged with rebellion.

As for why these rebels could easily enter the inner city before, most of the people who planned this rebellion were middle and senior officials, especially senior officials from the Ministry of War.

In that case, they had a chance to switch to the city gate guards and allow the rebels to enter the city smoothly.

"I hope I'm not wrong, otherwise things will be even more troublesome." Zhu Yong thought to himself.

On the other side, several rebels entering the inner city were surrounding the palace, but were blocked by soldiers of the Shenji Camp, and the two sides had already started fighting.

"Chang Xin, you'd better not be stubborn, it's still time to stop now."

On the side of Shenji Camp, a Ming army general shouted at a general led by the rebels.

Behind them were thousands of soldiers under both sides, holding guns and murderous intent, and fighting could break out at any time.

However, because these soldiers and generals had already sent their joint memorials to the palace, they were waiting for Chongzhen's reply.

Therefore, they did not attack in the direction of the palace anymore, and temporarily confronted the soldiers of the Shenji Camp who were blocking them.

"Deputy General Zhao, the emperor was deceived by Cao Huachun's eunuch dog and the treacherous Luo Yang's nature. He actually wanted to rebuild the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang. We also wanted to awaken the emperor and the country of the Ming Dynasty, so we came up with this worst.

I believe that sooner or later, the Lord will understand us.”

The general who was led by the military admonishment, the general of the Beijing camp, argued at this time.

"Hmph, sophistry, how could the emperor be deceived by Cao Huachun and Luo Yang's nature?

Your name is a military admonition, but it is actually a rebellion. The emperor will never spare you.

Let’s stop now, or it will be too late.”

The deputy general of Shenji Camp also persuaded him with great sincerity, but in fact he was extremely worried.

Because, behind him, there were only one thousand soldiers of the Shenji Camp, and the number of rebels opposite them was more than six thousand.

Even if the soldiers of the Shenji Camp who came to their side were equipped with muskets and were well-trained, it would probably be difficult to block the more than 6,000 people on the other side.

However, as the commander of the three major camps, there was nowhere to be seen at this time, which allowed the soldiers and soldiers of the Beijing camp to successfully reach here.

Without the commander's commander, the three soldiers of the camp were without a leader and were slow to react. So far, except for a few troops who came to respond and rushed to resist the rebels.

The soldiers from the other battalions were entangled in other parts of the capital by other small groups of rebels and could not come here for a while.

I guess Zhu Yong couldn't guess that the disappearance of Li Yinghan, the commander-in-chief of the official left-behind department who was responsible for the defense of the capital, was the main reason why the rebels were able to enter the inner city of the capital so smoothly.

As for where Lee Young-han is at this time, no one knows yet.

"General Changshen, something is wrong. Our memorial has been sent to the palace for so long, why hasn't there been any movement? It's not that the emperor is deliberately delaying time."

As time passed, the rebels outside had not received Chongzhen's reply for a long time, so they became anxious.

"Yes, Lord Dong can't win us long, we can't wait any longer."

"Kill me, and when you surround the palace, maybe the Lord should compromise with us."

"Do you really want to do this? If we really surround the palace, we will have no way out."

"Tsk, the moment we lead our troops into the city, we have no way out, let's do it!"

Several rebel generals couldn't wait, and they found that things were not the same as they had imagined before.

Originally, they believed that as long as they led their troops into the inner city of the capital and sent memorials to Chongzhen, Chongzhen would probably compromise.

But now, there is no news in the palace at all, it is obvious that Chongzhen has no intention of compromising!

But at this point, they had no other choice. After communicating, they would definitely go further and lead troops to surround the palace.

By then, Chongzhen would not be able to do without compromise.
