Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible

A day later, more than 20,000 people led by Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng also arrived at the camp outside the city.

"Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess"

Zhu Mianzhu looked at the two of them, raised her hand, and the fluorescent light emitted from her hand condensed into a list, all of which were the people who had expressed opposition yesterday.

All of them are corrupt officials, and the evidence of their crimes is also listed on it. All kinds of silver, grain, and shops buried in their homes are clearly listed on it.

"Inventory all the troops, maintain them for a thousand days, deploy them for a moment, control all the city gates after entering the capital, confiscate all corrupt officials, and shoot and kill those who resist!"

Zhao Yi and Wu Ben were about to say something, but when they looked up and saw the green four-leaf clover in Zhu Mianzhu's eyes, they immediately lowered their heads and replied:

"I will obey your orders!"

"I will obey your orders!"

It was the time to open the city gates and allow people to go in and out. There were only a few soldiers guarding the gates. Looking at the dark crowd in the distance, they hurriedly closed the gates and lit the beacon fire.

Zhu Mianzhu was not in a hurry and waited outside the city for the army of the Beijing Camp to arrive. The Beijing Camp claimed to have an army of 400,000, most of whom were children of officials who were drawing salaries without doing any work. It was good if there were tens of thousands of truly young and strong men. When it came time for inspection, the common people were dragged here to stand for a day just to make up the numbers. There were very few of them who could fight and shed blood.

Soon, nearly 100,000 troops gathered outside Anding Gate. Both sides were Ming troops, with 20,000 on Zhu Mianzhu's side and 100,000 on the Beijing camp.

The commander of the Beijing camp had also heard that this was Princess Kunxing's guard. He was also incredulous at the fact that the princess's guard had such sophisticated equipment and such high morale. However, due to the princess's reputation, he still sent his men to the front of the battle and shouted loudly:

"Princess Kunxing, you led your troops into the capital without orders from the imperial court. Are you planning a rebellion?"

Zhu Mianzhu rode her horse to the front of the Beijing camp. As a green four-leaf clover appeared in her eyes, a demonic pressure covered the enemy army. It was as if each person was carrying a three-hundred-pound weight, and everyone was directly pressed to the ground.

Looking at the 100,000 people lying prone, Zhu Mianzhu turned to Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng and said:

"Confiscate everyone's weapons and tie their hands and feet."

"As you command, Your Highness Princess!"

Then Zhu Mianzhu rode her horse to the front of Anding Gate and said, "Open the city gate."

The defenders on the city wall were horrified after seeing 100,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp fall to the ground in an instant. When they heard Zhu Mianzhu's voice, they hurried down the city wall and opened the city gate.

What a joke. One hundred thousand people were powerless to fight back. What role could these hundreds of people on the city wall play? Besides, the eldest princess is the daughter of His Majesty. This is their family affair. What does it have to do with him?

He had heard that His Majesty had just appointed the eldest princess as Prince of Yan in the court yesterday. At worst, it would be a second Yongle Dynasty.

Inside the Qianqing Palace, the messenger soldier reported the incident to Chongzhen.

Zhu Youjian looked at Queen Zhou beside him and said to her:

"This rebellious girl is thinking about Jingnan so soon"

Empress Zhou said, "Let's wait for Kunxing to come to the palace and ask him in person. I never thought that he would become the empress dowager. However, according to the previous plan, Kunxing shouldn't have succeeded to the throne so soon."

At this time, Zhu Mianzhu, who entered from the east gate, said to Zhao Yi:

"Send someone to take control of the city gates. No one is allowed to leave the city today. Anyone who breaks in will be shot and killed."

"Wu Cheng, lead your ten thousand men and these dozens of cannons and follow me into the palace."

The street vendors and pedestrians, seeing the large number of armored soldiers, all moved aside. Among them were officials who had attended court the previous day. Was Princess Kunxing really planning to usurp the throne? A rebellion? While the world had indeed been unstable for many years, it was unthinkable that a daughter would usurp her father's throne.

Xuanwu Gate, along with ten thousand armored soldiers, arrived at the front of Xuanwu Gate. The palace guards on the city wall all heard about yesterday's court affairs, and for a moment they really couldn't believe it was true.

The head of the guards, standing at the entrance to the city wall, secretly watched the army outside the Xuanwu Gate and thought to himself, "Should I go and cut off the head of Crown Prince Zhu Cilang and present it to Her Royal Highness? The princess will surely not want to be labeled a brother-killer. Following the emperor's example will surely bring her great success in the future."

The head of the guards shook his head. After all, Her Royal Highness the Princess was infertile. Without offspring, it was hard to say who would own the world.

Without thinking too much, the leader ordered his men to open the Xuanwu Gate. After all, tens of thousands of troops had entered the city, and the Jingying camp outside the city must be gone. The few people in his palace were like an ant trying to shake a tree. Opening the gate might have a good result, but resisting would definitely not have a good result.

Zhu Mianzhu looked at the ten thousand people behind her and said in a voice transmission, "Mansui has given you plenty of silver. I don't want anything bad to happen. You are only responsible for the shift and do not need to enter the harem."

As the Xuanwu Gate opened, Zhu Mianzhu only brought fifty people into the palace. Since the route into the palace from the Xuanwu Gate would lead directly to the harem and then pass through the Kunning Palace before reaching the Qianqing Palace, and there were concubines in the harem after all, Zhu Mianzhu did not bring many people with her, and the others were arranged outside the palace.

In Wenhua Hall, Zhu Cilang heard Qiu Zhizhong crying below:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess, she has led her troops into the palace through Xuanwu Gate."

Qiu Zhizhong couldn't help but think of a scene from many years ago. After Emperor Taizong of Tang killed his brothers, would the Ming Dynasty also kill his sisters? Then he remembered the fate of Li Jiancheng and his faction after Li Shimin seized the throne during the Tang Dynasty.

Qiu Zhizhong just felt cold all over even on this sunny day!

Zhu Cilang looked at the trembling Qiu Zhizhong and said, "Don't worry, I have already given this position to my younger sister. Don't worry that she will kill me."

Having said that, Zhu Cilang still felt cold inside as he looked at the sunlight coming in from outside the door.

In the Qianqing Palace, as Zhu Mianzhu, dressed in a skirt, arrived at the gate of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youjian, for a rare day, did not review memorials.

Zhu Youjian and Empress Zhou looked at Zhu Mianzhu at the door, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help but think of a passage he had read in the history of the Tang Dynasty a few days ago.

"You have made the greatest contribution to the pacification of Liaodong! Now it seems that you deserve to rule the world!"

When Zhu Mianzhu heard this, she looked up at Zhu Youjian and said, "Father, you should stay in this position for a few more years."

Zhu Mianzhu looked down at her own height.

"Wait until I grow up a little bit"

At this time, Queen Zhou said: "Don't do anything to your brother, he didn't do anything."

"Don't worry, I won't stop him from doing anything he wants to do, and I won't do anything to him."

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhu Mianchu: Why are you leading your troops to the capital so early? Aren’t you making your purpose known to the world?

Zhu Mianzhu sat opposite Zhu Youjian and said, "Look at those ministers yesterday. They all have their own interests. They firmly oppose anything that does not conform to their interests. They don't care even if the country is passed to the Jiannu."

"The leaders of the Beijing camp and the officials of the government offices are all their people. Without them, you can't mobilize any of them."

"It's time for a cleansing. Natural disasters will be even more severe in the next two years. If we don't change in time, tens of millions of people will die."

Zhu Youjian was also shocked when he heard that tens of millions of people had died. "I didn't expect it to be so bad, but couldn't you just send rain?"

Hearing the word "rain", Zhu Mianzhu also raised her head and stared at Zhu Youjian, "What kind of rain is falling?"

"Since you were able to directly annihilate tens of thousands of Jiannu soldiers and make tens of thousands of them obey your orders so faithfully, couldn't you just use your power to bring rain?"

"He annihilated tens of thousands of enemies without sustaining a single injury. Combined with the meteor that fell from the sky and the silent scene of the ministers in front of the Taihe Gate yesterday, it's clearly related to you."

Zhu Mianzhu looked at Zhu Youjian and Empress Zhou and said, "There's no other way. If we don't use other forces, the Ming Dynasty really can't be saved. There's drought and plague, and we're surrounded by foreign enemies."

"Unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to use external forces. Human affairs should always be left to human beings."

"Tomorrow many ministers will come to make reports. I have arrested all those hundreds of officials. Their homes and fields are filled with gold and silver, and their grain is so abundant that it's stinking."

Zhu Youjian listened and said: "Everything is done according to your wishes."

In the evening, Wang Chengen handed a thick memorial to Zhu Youjian, which stated the confiscation of jewelry, grain, rare treasures, etc., equivalent to more than 20 million taels of silver.

When Chongzhen saw this memorial, his hands trembled slightly. These corrupt officials, the Queen and I have to carefully calculate the meat we eat every day just to raise money to pay the soldiers on the front line and the people suffering from drought, but these corrupt officials actually let the food go bad.

The little fantasy I had in my heart was also lost.
