Chapter 729: Ambush Error
I'm going to arrive in Dadu? Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for Concubine Wang beside him to dress him up and serve him, and was inexplicably excited. It's so fast, isn't it going to take a few hours to arrive?
Could it be that I have just performed very well and how many hours have I been doing this? It seems that I have to be more restrained in the future. After all, I am the emperor and dealing with national affairs is the primary priority.
Since I was directly receiving Zhu Yuanzhang on the way, except for Zhu Yuanzhang's men who were on Liu Yanchang's warship who boarded the dragon boat, the rest were still on other warships, and no minister followed him.
At this time, the fleet had slowly approached the capital. You could see the towering city and the flag of the Ming Dynasty flying high above.
"Your Majesty, please follow Prince Chen, I will wait here." Li Lizhen said.
After all, Li Lizhen's identity has not been made public yet. In a while, many officials will come to greet him. If Li Lizhen is like this, she will be afraid that there will be inconvenience when she is with the emperor.
"Okay, Concubine Wang, just wait for me here." Zhu Yuanzhang said, his last lace was tied up, he pushed open the door and walked out.
"Brother Emperor, aren't we getting off the boat at the top of the city and walking into Dadu by Lizhengmen?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw the direction of the ship and seemed to have no intention of stopping, so he couldn't help but ask Chen Feng.
"Your Majesty, most of the people are crowded, fearing that there will be fine works by the Tartars, so the weak ministers dare to drive directly into the imperial city, pass through the water pool, and go to the shore, and then go directly into the palace." Chen Feng said.
Zhu Yuanzhang had a very strong concept of imperial power in his mind. This time he entered Dadu for the first time, he would go to the main gate.
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Zhu Yuanzhang did not stick to his opinion. It was also very good that the dragon boat could directly enter the imperial city.
"Okay, then according to the emperor's wishes." Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I only think that Jiangnan waterways are everywhere, and there is no waterway to directly enter the Yingtian Palace. In this capital, the waterways actually lead directly to the interior of the palace. I really didn't expect it!"
"Emperor, these were the ones that the Tartar emperor ordered to expand the city gate and palace gate in order to go out for a dragon boat. In the past, only water could flow in, and the dragon boat could not get through." Chen Feng said.
This was actually a few years ago when Chen Feng made a signature book sale that helped the Tartar emperor earn tens of thousands of taels of silver. Unfortunately, the Tartars were always Tartars and lacked the ability to rule the Central Plains.
Things change, and in just a few years, another emperor is already sitting in this dragon boat.
As we approach Dadu, there were already many defenders standing guards on both sides of the waterway, and all the martial law was strictly prohibited from approaching.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood at the bow of the boat, and Chen Feng stood beside him.
"Dadu is the capital of the Tartars. Now, it is a major city north of my Ming Dynasty. I can only feel at ease if I rely on you to guard it." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the walls of Dadu. At this time, all the outside was repaired with blue bricks, which looked even more solid.
"Your Majesty, it is an honor for me to be able to guard the north of the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the ministers are weak now, have more than enough defense to defend the city, and have insufficient attack. Otherwise, the ministers would like to take it down immediately on the Shangdu to the north and Datong to the west." Chen Feng said.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "Yes, these two places are a major problem for the court. If the Tartars' power is completely eliminated, I will not be at ease for a day."
As he was talking, a spacious city gate in front of him was revealed.
Heyimen.
This city gate is more than three times wider than other city gates, and it is twice as high as that of the mechanism at the top of the city wall, so that the opening and closing of the water gate can be controlled.
"Heyi Sect, this is my number one water gate in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
"Your Majesty, this water gate was built by the Tartars. After that, the minister made some improvements, especially underwater, and arranged a scattered structure to prevent anyone from entering and leaving the water gate at night." Chen Feng said: "As for my first water gate in the Ming Dynasty, I feel a little ashamed." Chen Feng said.
"Brother Emperor, don't be polite. In a while, I will mention a few words and hang them on this city gate." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
"Yes." Chen Feng replied. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a cowherd, his handwriting was still well written. Chen Feng was very ashamed. He had been here for many years and his handwriting was still crooked.
"Long live my emperor." At this moment, shouts came from all around.
The soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers guarding on both sides of the river all knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Full, all the soldiers, thank you for your hard work." Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, Chen Feng was disdainful in his heart. Chen Feng could already guess that Zhu Yuanzhang's visit to Dadu must have the purpose of taking the opportunity to buy his military morale.
When I came, I took Liu Yanchang's warship to bribe Liu Yanchang, but now I have inscriptions for Dadu, which is all for this purpose.
He would not know that his army was completely obedient to him and that even if he gave his order, they would never be vague even if they fought Yingtian.
What a pity, that damn secret, there is also the will of heaven in the vast universe.
Amid the shouts of this, Zhu Yuanzhang entered the capital.
The few people lying in the ambush in Lizheng Gate were anxious.
"What's going on? According to the previous inquiry, Zhu Chongba should have been here." A big man said, holding a light crossbow machine in his hand, hiding in a two-story attic facing the street north of Lizhengmen. From here, the entire street can be controlled. Moreover, the attic is connected to several houses next to it, so it is very easy to escape.
They were hiding here last night. From then on, it has been ten full hours since then and they are already impatient.
"Don't talk, keep calm." Zhang Dingbian said, and his heart began to be unsure.
"Forget it, after dark, let's retreat. Zhu Chongba won't come." A voice came from the side, which was Chen Li's.
Originally, such a dangerous action could not be taken with Chen Li, but Chen Li wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang being shot in person, so he insisted on coming.
It was Chen Li's idea to lie here at the beginning. Now, Chen Li said again that Zhu Yuanzhang would not come. This statement immediately surprised Zhang Dingbian.
“Why?”
"We made a mistake. This time, I'm afraid Zhu Yuanzhang would go directly to the palace city by water." Chen Li said.
Hearing Chen Li's words, Zhang Dingbian immediately woke up.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang would go to Lizhengmen, which was almost unquestionable, but they thought less about it. Zhu Yuanzhang came by water, and now, the waterways in Dadu can directly lead to the palace city.
In this way, if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to be convenient, he would keep walking on the water and reach the palace directly.
In fact, you can see it by looking at the situation during the day. If Zhu Yuanzhang really walked here, then there would have been a lot of guard posts on both sides of the streets here, and now pedestrians can still walk around at will. Obviously, the other party was not following this path.
I made a mistake in thinking!
Chen Li was surprisingly calm at this time. Although it was useless to stay here now, when he went out now, he was easily discovered. After all, the crossbow in their hands could not be hidden, so he would continue to hide. It would be more appropriate to go out after dark.
"Long live my emperor." At this moment, a faint voice suddenly came from outside.
I heard this sound from the west.
Chen Li gritted his teeth, his lips were about to be bitten to pieces, Zhu Chongba! His father-killing enemy! He must take revenge!
In the capital, all the Semi people were being monitored, but Shi Yanduan was neglected to these Han people.
After all, it is impossible to monitor everyone, as countless manpower is needed, and Shi Yanduan can not bear it.
In this way, under the eyes of the vast majority of defenders, an assassination activity did not end because of a single defeat, and continued.
Chen Li did not see the warships of the Taihu Navy, but he could imagine that scene, and if his father became the emperor, all this should be his.
Chen Li was in a very complicated mood.
Another person's mood was also very complicated, Hu Weiyong sitting on the warship.
The capital has finally arrived. Now, in this capital, there are his lifelong enemies.
Chen Feng! Now, he is already a noble prince! If you want to deal with Chen Feng, then you have to keep climbing high until you reach the prime minister who is below one person and above ten thousand people!
Hu Weiyong was so worried that he had been entering the capital and didn't feel anything yet.
The dragon boat went straight into the palace city, but the fleet behind stopped. The warship was too wide and the gate of the capital could enter, but the water gate of the palace city could only allow the dragon boat to sail.
The ministers, palace maids, eunuchs, and guards from Yingtianlai all got off the boat from the shore of Jishuitan, and then quickly walked into the imperial city. Especially the guards, they had to protect them around when the emperor got off the boat.
After entering the palace, Feng Guosheng's eyes lit up. The gardens in Dadu were built very well, with pavilions, towers, water pavilions and flowers. The palace in Yingtian might not be as good as here.
Needless to say, the dragon boat is walking slower than the people. Therefore, Feng Guosheng's men guarded the wharf of Taiye Pond. Here, local officials from most of the capital have gathered here, and they are all here to welcome the emperor's holy driving.
Shi Yanduan stood in front, left and right, with two brothers Chang Yuchun and Chang Ju. Behind were the general manager and other officials of Dadu Road. When they saw the dragon boat coming, they knelt down together.
"Long live my emperor, long live my life." Everyone shouted.
