Zhu Hongsan sent these stinky old nine people away and led his team to enter the Forbidden City from Hongwu Gate at the southern end of the palace city. The Forbidden City is a general name for the Forbidden City in Nanjing. The Forbidden City is divided into imperial city and palace city. The palace city starts from Hongwu Gate to Chengtian Gate. On the imperial road in the middle of the palace city, there are five stone bridges, called "Waiwulong Bridge", and under the bridge is the Outer Yu River. On both sides of the imperial road between Hongwu Gate and Wuwulong Bridge are the Central Office of the Ming Dynasty. On the west side of the imperial road are high-level military command institutions, including the Central

, left, right, front, and back five armies governor's office, as well as Taichang Temple, Tongzhengsi, Jinyiwei, Flagbear Guard, Qintianjian, etc. On the east side of the Imperial Road are senior central government offices, including Zongren Mansion, Ministry of Personnel, Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of Rites, Ministry of War, Ministry of Works, Hanshu Academy, Zhanshi Mansion, Tai Hospital, etc. On both sides of the Imperial Road between Chengtianmen and Duanmen are temple communities. The Taimiao Temple is set up to worship the emperor and ancestors on the east side, and on the west side is the Altar of the Sovereign for the Gods. Then head north to the Meridian Gate.

Entering the Meridian Gate, there are five stone bridges, called "Neiwulong Bridge", and under the bridge is the Neiyu River. After crossing the bridge, it is Fengtian Gate, and there are three halls, Fengtian, Huagai and Jinshi, built from south to north. There are Wenhua Hall and Wenlou on the east side of the three halls, and Wuying Hall and Wulou on the west side, collectively known as the "First Dynasty" Five Halls. Fengtian Hall is what people often call the Golden Palace, which is where the emperor holds major ceremonies and receives congratulations from all civil and military officials. Later, Taihe, Zhonghe and Baohe in the Forbidden City in Beijing

The three halls are built imitating Fengtian, Huagai, and three halls. Behind the three halls is the place where the emperor and his concubines live, called "Houting". On the central axis are the three palaces of Qianqing, Jiaotai and Kunning, the Rouyi Hall on the left (East Palace) and the Chunhe Hall on the right (West Palace) and the two halls are opposite. The northeast corner is the East Six Palaces and the northwest corner is the West Six Palaces. There is also the Imperial Garden on the west side of the Chunhe Hall. The "Fore Dynasty" and "Houting Palace" combine to form the "Yin Court".

The Nanjing Forbidden City has been destroyed in later generations. Zhu Hongsan only participated in the throne ceremony with Emperor Hongguang in the palace city. He had never been in the imperial city. This is the first time he went in today. Zhu Hongsan entered the Meridian Gate and looked around. He felt very ordinary, and he was not as imposing as the Forbidden City in Beijing.

What Zhu Hongsan didn't know was that the Nanjing Forbidden City covers an area of ​​1.020,000 square meters, which is much larger than the 720,000 square meters of the Beijing Forbidden City. There are several reasons why the Nanjing Forbidden City became like that in later generations. First, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, which directly led to the desolation of the Nanjing Ming Forbidden City. Although Nanjing was the capital of the Ming Dynasty at that time, because the emperor was in Beijing, there were only a few maintenance personnel in such a large Ming Forbidden City. Later, there were big fires in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and various irresistible factors such as the sinking of the foundation led to the desolation of the Ming Forbidden City. There are rumors that Zhu Di dragged away a lot of stones from the Nanjing Forbidden City and destroyed some Ming Forbidden City. However, this view is unreliable. After all, the freight is too high, so it is better to get local materials from around Beijing.

Secondly, the Qing army's wanton destruction directly led to the unrecognizable appearance of the Ming Forbidden City. After the Qing army captured Nanjing, it began to ravage the Ming Forbidden City. First, the Nanjing Forbidden City had been changed to a city by the Qing court, and all the bannermen lived in the original Nanjing Forbidden City. Secondly, large-scale changes were made to the Nanjing Forbidden City, some halls were changed into generals and the chief yamen, and some halls were demolished and converted into residential houses for the bannermen to live in. Basically, the Qing army repaired houses, as long as any materials were missing, they would be demolished from the Ming Forbidden City. During the more than 200 years of the Qing Dynasty's rule, countless people were destroyed.

Third, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement broke out in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Taiping Army had a fierce battle with the Manchu army stationed in the Ming Forbidden City. Since the Ming Forbidden City was full of Manchu people, and the Taiping Army wanted to kill them all, in this battle, the former palace became a battlefield, and the third catastrophe suffered by the Ming Forbidden City began. Later, in order to build the Heavenly King Mansion and other kings' mansions, many demolished the Ming Forbidden City.

In addition, in the years that followed, the Ming Forbidden City in Nanjing was also destroyed by foreigners and Chinese people. In the end, there is only a broken scene in the Ming Forbidden City Park, and several place names such as "Blue Flag Camp" and "Blue Flag Street" as evidence of the whole city. Thinking about Zhu Yuanzhang expelling the Tartars and establishing the Ming Dynasty, the palace he lived in was actually the object of his extermination who lived for more than 200 years, while he had only lived for more than 20 years. It was really heartache and shame.

However, the Qing Dynasty had no good luck in this time and space. The Qing Dynasty only occupied three years in Nanjing. Now the Forbidden City in Nanjing is still generally complete, but several of the halls were temporarily changed to general yamen by the Manchus. However, when Zhu Hongsan worshiped Xiaoling, the eunuch of the East Factory, Li Chengen, had already brought some tigers and wolves in the East Factory to clear the Forbidden City, and most of the Manchus' families were arrested. However, these Manchus' families were not all Manchus, most of them were Han people. These poor women were all women stolen by Manchus, and they were basically women from wealthy families in the north. The rest.

There were also hundreds of young mankind boys who were not adults. Zhu Hongsan was much crueler to deal with these people than his ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang. When Zhu Yuanzhang captured the Mongolians, the man was castrated by the twelve men and beheaded by more than twelve men. Zhu Hongsan didn't care about these. As long as he was a Manchu, all men were beheaded, regardless of the old or weak. The young woman was sent to the Jiaofangsi as a prostitute, and the older ones gave her a pleasure and saved food. He had to deal with the Han army flag Zhu Hongsan, after all, a large part of the surrender of these guys was not strong enough for the court, so the Han army flag was sent to the Luzon regardless of the old or weak.

When Zhu Hongsan entered the city, most of the people in the Forbidden City had been cleared, but a small number of them were hiding in the dark. Han Sanqiang was leading people to clear them. Zhu Hongsan came to the cleaned Qianqing Palace and prepared to go to bed.

Wang Wan'er followed Li Chengen and the East Factory Apostles into the imperial city as early as noon. In the afternoon, she couldn't help but see that the East Factory Apostles were cruel to the families of the people, but he was Zhu Hongsan's concubine, and he didn't even have an identity, so he could speak. Now seeing Zhu Hongsan coming back with great dust, he quickly stepped forward to change clothes for Zhu Hongsan.

Zhu Hongsan took off his armor and put on light clothes. He smiled at Wang Wan'er and said, "How about it? Are you used to living? Now the army is clearing out the remnants of the mankind. It will be better in a few days. The palace is very big and there are many houses. If you like it, live there!"

Now the palace is in chaos and there is no preparation. Wang Wan'er just brought a cup of tea to Zhu Hongsan and sat next to Zhu Hongsan without saying anything.

When Zhu Hongsan saw Wang Wan'er like this, he asked, "What's wrong? But the killings from the East Factory in the afternoon scared you?"

Wang Wan'er shook her head and whispered: "Your Majesty, I feel uncomfortable when I see the East Factory man treating the man in the afternoon with cruel methods!"

"What did I think it is? Just these things, come on! Let me do artificial respiration for you!" Zhu Hongsan was about to act like a hooligan after he said that.

But Wang Wan'er now had this worries, so she pushed Zhu Hongsan's hand away and said, "Your Majesty, it's okay to deal with those adults, but to be so cruel to the children! In the afternoon, I saw a child who was only four or five years old and was cut off half of his head by a scholar in the East Factory. The child's mother was a Han man, and she was scared crazy at that time! This... Isn't this too cruel?"

Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "Those who follow me will prosper, and those who rebel against me will perish! Since these Manchus want to enter the pass and seize my country, they will have to pay the price! As for whether they are cruel or not, you can go to Yangzhou to see if you have time. There are more than 800,000 people in Yangzhou, and only more than 400 people left behind in the Qing Dynasty to pull the bodies. All the others were killed. There are veterans in Jiangyin, Jiading, and the Imperial Guard Division who participated in the bloody battle between Jiangyin and Jiading. Go and ask them, did the Manchus let me go to the children of the Han people? So I will not let them go today!"

"If the Manchus don't say it, but what about the Han women with the Han military flag? They are Han people!"

"In times of troubled times, people's lives are like grass. I can still care about their lives. It's good to keep them alone! Young people are sent to Luzon as slaves to the local Han people, and older people go directly to mine! The lives of these Han flags are no less than those of Manchus. It's good that I won't kill them. Do you have to ensure that they have enough food and marry a few more wives?"

Wang Wan'er was so ruthlessly hit by Zhu Hongsan's cold blood and ruthless attack. At this time, Li Chengen outside the door asked softly: "Your Majesty, Lord Tong is here to ask for a meeting!"

Why is Tong Yangjia here to do so late? Zhu Hongsanyi thought that something should be wrong!

"Old Li, pack up a room and I'll go out now!"

After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he said to Wang Wan'er beside him: "Don't think about other people. Didn't your father be an official in Shandong? If you write him a letter tomorrow, you will say that you have remarried and let him come to Nanjing to be an official!" After that, Zhu Hongsan ignored Wang Wan'er and stood up and went out to see Tong Yangjia.

The Qianqing Palace has a large area, with a total of nine rooms. There was originally an emperor's throne in the main hall, but after several years of war and the Qing Dynasty changed the place to a yamen, the throne has long disappeared. Li Chengen had no choice but to clean up a room inside and use it as a reception room.

Zhu Hongsan lifted the curtain and went in. Seeing that Tong Yangjia had already sat in the room, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said, "What's wrong with Mr. Tong! Old Li, serve tea for Mr. Tong!"

Tong Yangjia saw Zhu Hongsan enter the house and quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, today I will ask for instructions on tomorrow's matters, and also the aftermath in Nanjing City!"

Today we have worshipped the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and tomorrow we will be the ceremony of the temple. Although Zhu Hongsan has already proclaimed himself emperor in Guangdong, Guangdong is not the capital after all. Now we have to take back Nanjing again, which will prove the legitimacy of Zhu Hongsan's proclaimed emperor.

"Mr. Tong, it's enough for your cabinet to decide on this kind of thing. There's no need to ask for my opinion. Anyway, that's the case!"
Chapter completed!
