How could a mere residence of Duke Fengguo be able to withstand the encirclement and suppression by the imperial guards and all forces?
What's more, the order given by the Queen Mother does not matter life or death!
In the end, Duke Feng's government couldn't even resist for a long time.
The outer courtyard was breached and the second gate could not hold on for long. When the imperial guards broke into the inner courtyard, the Fengguo government chose to surrender.
All the people in the Fengguo government were taken into custody, and the situation in the capital was basically stable.
At this critical moment when the capital was besieged, the Queen Mother supported Qi Wang Wu Fengyan to ascend the throne. Even Prince An's Mansion, Zuo Prime Minister, and General Xi from General Dingnan's Mansion also publicly expressed their support.
These forces had been neutral before, but now they all supported Wu Fengyan, letting everyone in the capital know that the situation was a foregone conclusion. Unless the King of Jin attacked the capital, it would be impossible to change.
However, after this competition, it was the Ninth Prince, King Qi who was usually quiet and inconspicuous, who won, which was somewhat surprising.
The enthronement ceremony has not been held for the time being. After all, the current situation is not suitable for such a thing. King Jin's army is still surrounding him outside the city!
As soon as Wu Fengyan announced his accession to the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately set out to eliminate the remnants of the Crown Prince and Duke Feng in the capital, as well as the secret forces of King Jin and King Qin.
However, Wu Fengyan did not take action against those ministers and families who had surrendered. As for whether to deal with them in the future, he would have to wait until the capital city completely settled down before considering.
Different from the previous brutal actions of the Fengguo Government, Wu Fengyan's current eradication operation had little impact on ordinary people. As long as it was not a hidden stronghold of those forces, it would basically not be affected.
On the second day after Wu Fengyan proclaimed himself emperor and the day after the Qing Dynasty began, the army commanded by King Jin outside the city also launched an siege.
It was difficult for the actions in the city to escape the eyes and ears of King Jin. After all, the suppression operation had just begun, so King Jin quickly got the news and launched an attack.
But not long after the siege battle began, King Jin encountered a surprise attack from behind!
And not just one place, but the entire rear of the front was attacked!
When King Jin learned the news in the military camp, he was extremely shocked, because according to the intelligence he received, the Zheng family army should still be on the way to the capital and had not arrived yet!
So where did the troops attacking from behind come from? !
Soon, King Jin knew the answer. It turned out to be the combined army of the Si Family in the northwest, Prince An's Mansion in the west, and General Dingnan in the south!
And it was an army led by Prince An Wu Zechen himself!
No wonder Prince An has never appeared in the capital before, and only Princess An has appeared. It turns out that Prince An is not in the capital at all!
In order to deploy this coalition army, Prince An had already left the capital!
Although the troops mobilized by these three parties alone are not that large, but combined, they just overwhelmed his Wu family army!
And it is precisely because the troops mobilized by these three parties are not large, so it has completely escaped the eyes and ears of all parties and has not been noticed!
He even appeared on the outskirts of the capital without being noticed by anyone, and has been there for who knows how long!
Judging from the situation in the capital and the timing of its appearance, this coalition army has obviously arrived near the capital a long time ago, but has been hiding until now!
Such terrifying hiding and troop dispatching abilities even frightened King Jin!
How strong is the commanding power and prestige required to achieve this? !
After King Jin learned that the rear was attacked, he immediately initiated a retreat and allowed the attacking soldiers to return to defend the rear, but by this time it was too late.
How can the tripartite coalition army, which has been fighting for years, be comparable to the northern army, which has been at ease for many years? What's more, those who have been transferred this time are all elites from all branches of the military!
After all, if you want to march quietly near the capital, you must be a loyal enough soldier, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid leaking the slightest news.
When King Jin's troops in the front were withdrawn, there were already signs of defeat in the rear. At the same time, the city defense forces in the capital also took advantage of the situation to attack, forming a pincer attack with the coalition forces, allowing King Jin to be defeated in an instant. He was completely at a disadvantage!
Seeing the defeat of his own army, King Jin finally panicked. No matter how uneasy he felt, he could not sit still. When the defeat first appeared, he had already led his people to flee to the north.
The real main force of the Wu family army is stationed there, which was previously deployed to prevent the prince's Zheng family army from supporting the capital.
But in this situation, King Jin no longer even thought of attacking the capital.
Although the main force of the Wu family army is much larger than the coalition army led by Prince An, there is still a Zheng family army behind the Wu family!
If King Jin goes to war with Prince An's coalition forces, he will inevitably be threatened by the Zheng family's army from behind, and will once again be in danger of being attacked from both sides, and vice versa!
As soon as the King of Jin left, the army besieging the capital quickly fell into a rout.
Knowing that Prince An in the rear actually led an army to chase him, King Jin was filled with unwillingness and uneasiness, but in the end he gritted his teeth and decided to imitate his third brother and go to the north to establish himself as king, and then he slowly tried to do it!
The King of Jin fled with the Wu Jiajun, and the Zheng Jiajun finally learned about the situation in the capital.
After learning that the prince and Duke Feng had all been imprisoned in the heavenly prison, King Wu Fengyan of Qi ascended the throne as emperor, and saw King Jin fleeing back to the north in embarrassment, the Zheng family finally decided to return to the north, establish themselves as kings, and break away from the country. Zhou's control.
The Zheng family knew very well that if something like this happened, even if the new emperor spared their own lives, they would definitely not be allowed to take charge of the military again.
Instead of being reduced to civilians, or even going to jail, they might as well give it a last try. If they succeed, it will actually be a huge profit for the Zheng family!
At present, most of the southwest has changed hands, and the other three borders are also in war. King Jin seems to have no intention of surrendering, which is perfect for the Zheng family to take advantage of the troubled waters!
As for asking them to seek refuge with the King of Jin, that is a no-brainer. The Zheng family and the Wu family have been grudges for many years. Each controls 50% of the army, and neither of them obeys the other. Therefore, instead of seeking refuge with the King of Jin and being suppressed, it is better to proclaim oneself the emperor. .
With this idea in mind, the Zheng family turned back to the northwest, with no intention of approaching the capital, let alone a fight with the coalition army led by Prince An, even though the Zheng family's main force at this time was several times larger than the coalition army.
Prince An knew that the troops he had were directly facing the armies of these two families, so he just stayed at a distance until the two parties left the Central Plains and returned to their respective territories in the north. Then he led the coalition army back to the capital.
When the coalition forces returned to station outside the capital, the purge operation in the capital was basically at an end.
