However, the development of things did not occur as the monarchs and ministers of Yixing Dynasty had imagined.

The chaos of the people is like mercury leaking the land. How could it be so easy for thousands of imperial guards to block the news?

The next day, not the second day of June, the day after the war broke out.

At the beginning of the Yin hour, the people broke through the roadblocks set up by the imperial guards on the Jinchuan River and rushed to the Jinchuan Gate.

Is the imperial guard really unable to stop it?

Of course, it won’t be possible, but the current component of the imperial guards is different from the imperial guards that were the Ming Dynasty.

The imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty were all taken from the descendants of officials.

Basically, the children of the people cannot enter the imperial guards.

This is also to prevent the imperial guards from quickly pacifying if the people in the capital are able to do so.

But today's imperial guards all come from the children of the Gyeonggi family.

In other words, many of the imperial guards are children of the rioters.

How could you forcefully stop the elders and brothers?

Listening to Dong, "Ergou, you are a dead child, dare you stop your father?"

Listening to the west, "Sanwo, all our savings have been greedy for the dog x's government. Are you still working for them?"

If you hear such words in the ears of soldiers, how can you stop them?

So, the rioters rushed to Jinchuan Gate.

At the beginning of Mao hour, the defenders of Jinchuan Gate mutiny.

After hearing that his life savings were greedy and the imperial guards killed the people.

The soldiers were extremely angry. I was loyal to the country on the city wall and fought desperately with the enemy, but were stabbed in the back by his own people?

The head of a thousand households in the left camp of the capital, and together with the right camp, about 5,000 people left their posts without permission and went south to seek justice with the court.

When this riot soldier passed through the Jinchuan River, he clashed with the garrisoned imperial guards.

If the imperial guards let the people go, it is a last resort. No one has the courage or cannot bear to be an enemy of their families. However, if they have the responsibility to let this riot troops go south, they are complicit in conspiracy with them.

In a hurry, the two teams had a fierce conflict, which turned into a battle.

At the third hour of Mao, all the ministers in the palace were pale when they heard the bad news.

When the army is under control on weekdays, it is called the army.

But when it is out of control, it is a bandit!

It is even more harmful than robbers.

But at this time, the eldest princess had already set out of Zhengyang Gate for two hours, and it was obvious that the distance could not be dissolved in the near fire.

Go and report to Zhu Cilang.

Zhu Cilang was full of tears and had no choice but to say, "I have been in seclusion and self-reflection, and all state affairs will be handled by the eldest princess."

The chief minister Huang Daozhou and his ministers had no choice but to draw a thousand imperial guards from the palace to reinforce the Jinchuan River.

In order to stabilize the situation and ensure that the city is not in chaos.

Huang Daozhou was a capable minister in governing the country and was not upright.

But he is indeed not good at placing troops and setting up formations.

In fact, in this case, Huang Daozhou should concentrate on the imperial guards and defend the imperial city to the death.

Instead of dispersing the already stretched forces.

And how much can a thousand imperial guards reinforce the Jinchuan River play?

It is definitely impossible to annihilate the chaotic soldiers. So wouldn’t adding fire to the fire even more?

The most important thing is that the enemies outside the city are still eyeing each other.

Only by defending the imperial city, Huang Daozhou went to Jinchuan River himself to explain the pros and cons to the rioters, and made promises and guarantees to the rioters and the rioters on behalf of the court in exchange for the people's understanding and shared hatred of the enemy.

This is the way to quickly calm the chaos.

The people in the capital themselves did not want to aid the evildoers. They just angered that their interests were infringed upon by the government, and the instigation and agitation with ulterior motives turned into a civil chaos.

Outside Hongwu Gate, the imperial guards handled the matter improperly and shot and killed the people, turning this civil unrest into a riot.

But the rebellious soldiers at this time are still controllable because they are just angry and treated unfairly.

As long as someone with enough courage can persuade and promise, this riot can still return to the battlefield of the enemy.

Unfortunately, the Yixing court missed this opportunity.

It’s not entirely possible that Huang Daozhou is blamed for improper handling.

In fact, Huang Daozhou had thought of doing this in his heart, but what he was more worried about was that his departure would make the imperial city fall into the enemy.

In fact, it is clear that the unreasonable disappearance of dozens of officials including Qian Qianyi is not a simple civil chaos, but someone is adding fuel to the fire. But now it is definitely not the time to investigate. At this time, the investigation will make people panic. Once even the palace is in chaos, no one will direct or manage the protests in the west and north gates, and then everything will be over.

Therefore, Huang Daozhou did not dare to leave the imperial city without knowing who was loyal and who was traitorous in the palace.

This prompted Yixingchao to be at the verge of life and death, and it was at stake.

....

Nikan received a report from the scout that the guards in Jinchuan Gate in the north city had a change.

He was also surprised, but after thinking, he still did not send troops.

The reason is that it is dark. If the defenders are ridiculous and dig a hole to let themselves jump, why bother?

And it’s only half an hour after dawn. If the defenders change, it’s not going to be less than half an hour.

Therefore, Nikan just ordered the army to prepare for siege, but did not immediately order the siege.

This half-hour delay made him lose the opportunity to break the city easily.

If Nikan quickly ordered an attack on the city, the Qing army could easily break through the Jinchuan Gate and perhaps defeat the empty imperial city in one fell swoop.

Then, the monarch and ministers of the Yixing Dynasty may all become prisoners.

Nikan really could have made great contributions to the Qing court.

Of course, in half an hour, Yixingchao could not do anything effective when he had no leader in the group of dragons. This opportunity is still there, but it is hard to say whether it is subsequent changes and results.

....

Just after the third hour of Mao, the sky was already slightly white.

Nikan, who was struggling to dawn, immediately ordered the Qing army to attack the city.

At this time, the five city gates in the west and north, except for the Jinchuan Gate defenders who had already left most of the troops, the other four gates have not been affected because they are far away from Jinchuan Gate and the time is only less than an hour.

Therefore, the Qing army's attacks in the other four gates were still blocked.

But soon, due to insufficient troops, the defenders collapsed after persisting for half an hour.

The Qing army attacked the city wall and opened the city gate.

At this point, Yingtian Prefecture, which had 120,000 defenders, was actually less than twelve hours after the Qing army broke the city.

Nikan was overjoyed when he heard the good news.

Unfortunately, the Qing army divided its troops to attack the five city gates, and the total number of Qing troops assigned to Jinchuan Gate was only 10,000. During the two-day attack, the Qing army suffered many casualties, and the Qing army entered Jinchuan Gate was only about 8,000.

In the absence of quickly mobilizing the subsequent army into the city, Nikan made a difficult choice, which was to order the Qing army to attack westward, with the intention of joining internal and external attacks and forcing the defenders of Yifeng and Zhongfu Gate.
