King Zhenbei looked at all the generals in the military tent and said loudly:

"I want to ask you, what are the duties of the soldiers of Dafeng? I hope the generals of the East Camp Army can actively answer my question!"

The general of the Dongying Army, General Huaiyuan Li Shaoan, looked at Zhenbei King Hongxuan, clasped his fists and responded respectfully:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the duty of the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom is to protect the imperial power and safeguard the country of Dafeng for thousands of years."

King Zhenbei looked at the young general and said:

"The general said it well, but he didn't get to the point!"

General Dingyuan Duan Yingqiang, the general of the Dongying Army, responded respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

“Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the duty of the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom is to protect His Majesty and the royal family!

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan looked at the general, shook his head and said:

"Your answer is not much different from the previous young general's answer, but I said that this is not the core!"

The commander He Zhili and the deputy commander Wen Jinglan seemed to know the answer to the question raised by the King of Zhenbei in the army, but the King of Zhenbei asked this question, allowing the general of the Dongying Army to answer first.

Si Qingshou, the commander of the Dongying Army, turned his eyes and said respectfully to the King of Zhenbei:

"Reporting to the King of Zhenbei, the duty of the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom is to obey the orders of the King of Zhenbei!"

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan shook his head and said:

"Today, I will tell all of you generals what the duties of the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom are."

"The duty of the Dafeng soldiers is to protect the people of Dafeng, not to safeguard the imperial power, and certainly not to obey the orders of this king!"

After King Zhenbei said this, the senior officers of the Third Field Army nodded slightly.

After hearing what King Zhenbei said, the generals of the Dongying Army were all shocked.

Protecting the people of Dafeng Kingdom, what a simple answer.

However, these senior generals of the Dongying Army did not expect such a simple and plain answer.

"In my opinion, the soldiers of Dafeng Kingdom are there to protect the people, to protect the citizens of Dafeng Kingdom, not for the private ownership of the imperial power of the ruling class, and certainly not for protecting the royal family or His Majesty."

"The government of Dafeng is now corrupt and precarious, and the people are living in dire straits all day long."

"I have traveled from south to north and from north to south, and I have seen too many people who are hungry. Some people are naked and homeless! These are the people under the rule of the imperial power of Dafeng."

"If you don't work for the welfare of the people and spend all day thinking about how to increase taxes on the people, you will be overthrown sooner or later."

King Hongxuan of Zhenbei said this, glanced at the officers and continued loudly:

"Huang Tian is dead, so we must change the world!"

Huang Tian is dead, so we need to change the world. After Zhenbei King Hongxuan said this, all the officers in the military tent knew that Zhenbei King wanted to be the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom.

But they were all wrong. King Hongxuan of Zhenbei did not want to be the emperor of Dafeng Kingdom, but wanted to change the bureaucratic system of Dafeng Kingdom.

Today, Huang Tian of the Dafeng Kingdom is the heaven of corrupt bureaucrats, who are like a devil's claws, harming the people.

As for the throne, he has already decided to give it to the eldest prince Hong Li.

In fact, it doesn’t matter who becomes emperor.

The King of Zhenbei is about to implement the biggest reform to the bureaucratic system of the Dafeng Kingdom.

If the Dafeng bureaucracy is not reformed, the seriously ill Dafeng Kingdom will never get better.

As for how to reform, it is actually very simple.

That is to implement the Zhenbei King's fertile land reform plan throughout the Dafeng Kingdom, deprive the powerful and wealthy of their monopoly on fertile land, deprive the gentry of their monopoly on fertile land, and let the people of Dafeng Kingdom have fertile land to cultivate and have enough food to eat.

Only when there is sufficient food and the people of Dafeng can have enough food to eat can other industries be developed.

The commander of the Dongying Army, Si Qingshou, said respectfully:

"What the King of Zhenbei said is very inspiring. I am willing to follow the King of Zhenbei!"

"I am willing to follow King Zhenbei!"

The officers in the military tent all knelt on the ground. In their eyes, the King of Zhenbei was like a new monarch who was about to ascend the throne.

They were deeply shocked by what King Zhenbei said.

The words of King Zhenbei have completely conquered all the officers in the military tent.

Whether it was the Third Field Army originally belonging to the King of Zhenbei, or the Dongying Army,

They were all deeply impressed by King Zhenbei's ideas.

Zhenbei Wang Hongxuan knew.

Power does not produce good results. Attacking the city is inferior, while attacking the heart is superior.

Let the generals of the Dongying Army know that what the King of Zhenbei is about to do is not for his own personal benefit, but for the people of the world.

Telling these generals that the Dafeng Kingdom’s army existed to protect the people, not to maintain imperial power, this idea completely won back the morale of the Dongying Army.

The Dongying Army was originally established to protect imperial power.

King Zhenbei told them that the meaning of their existence was not to defend the imperial power, but to defend the people of the great kingdom.

Hongxuan led his troops.

Thirty thousand soldiers of the Third Field Army directly entered the capital of the Dafeng Kingdom, and the Dongying Army also sent 30,000 troops into the capital.

The Imperial Guards who were guarding the city saw this scene.

They were all shocked and horrified.

The army of King Zhenbei will act together with the army of Dongying!

This is going to change!

When Prince Hongze had already arranged for the Jinyiwei, as long as the Zhenbei King entered the capital, he would be unable to escape even if he had wings.

In order to ambush and kill Zhenbei King Hongxuan who was coming to Beijing, Crown Prince Hongze had made full preparations.

All kinds of situations have been thought of.

But what no one expected was that the King of Zhenbei had no intention of bringing the eldest prince Hong Li into the imperial city alone from the beginning.

The guards from the capital went directly to the East Palace to report.

When Prince Hongze's personal guards heard this news,

They showed a look of horror:

"You city defenders should quickly resist the attack of the King of Zhenbei. I will report back to the Crown Prince."

The city guard said bluntly: "But! How can the city guards resist?"

The guard immediately reported back to the prince.

At this time, the prince was drinking and having fun in the luxurious palace.

He was so happy and was thinking about how he would enjoy himself after becoming emperor.

The guard came to the prince's side and said anxiously:

"Prince! Something terrible has happened! The King of Zhenbei! The King of Zhenbei!"

The prince, who was enjoying himself while drinking, frowned upon hearing the guard's report:

"Flustered! What happened to the King of Zhenbei? Has he been surrounded and controlled by the East Camp Army?"

The guard looked at the intoxicated prince and said:

"The Dongying Army and the Zhenbei King's army have already entered Kyoto."

The originally intoxicated Prince Hongze was no longer drunk.

"What did you say?"

The guard looked at the prince and reported again:

"Prince! The commander of the East Camp, Si Qingshou, has sent 30,000 East Camp troops and 30,000 troops of the King of Zhenbei into the Imperial City. It is estimated that they are now controlling the defense of the Imperial City."

After hearing this, the prince took a few steps back.

"The big thing is bad!"

The prince hurried to the Kunning Palace in the imperial city to discuss the matter with his mother.

The prince hurried to Kunning Palace, where Queen Zhu was watering the orchids she was raising.

Prince Hongze's eyes were filled with endless panic at this time.

"Mother! Something terrible has happened! Zhenbei King Hongxuan! Him!"

Queen Zhu was originally in a good mood. She had completely controlled Emperor Dingwen and knew that her son would become emperor soon.

Queen Zhu frowned slightly:

"What on earth happened? Why is he so flustered? As the crown prince, the one who will inherit the throne, what could have caused him to be so flustered?"

The prince's face was filled with despair and he said:

"Mother, quickly control father. Zhenbei Prince Hongxuan has brought his 30,000 troops and the 30,000 troops of the East Camp Army into the Imperial City. Hongxuan! He is going to rebel!"
