Admiral Jiumen, a high-ranking military attache during the Qing Dynasty, was in charge of the security and defense of the Jingshi, and his power was so great that he had a direct influence on the safety of the entire Jingshi. If he has the intention of closing the capital and taking the Forbidden City, it will be a thrilling historical drama. 
First, let's take a closer look at the responsibilities and influence of the Admirals of the Nine Gates. As the main person in charge of the security and defense of the Beijing Division, Admiral Jiumen had a large guard force in his hands, which was well-trained and well-equipped, and shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the Beijing Division. As the location of the Imperial Palace, the Forbidden City's guarding work is a top priority. Therefore, the Forbidden City's walls are towering, the moat is wide, and its fortifications are impregnable. 
If Admiral Jiumen intends to seal off the capital and take the Forbidden City, he will not only face the guards of the Forbidden City, but also the emperor and the entire imperial court to counterattack. The risk of such behaviour is extremely high, and if it gets out of control, the consequences can be devastating. At worst, it can cause large-scale turmoil and chaos, and at worst, it may lead to the outbreak of national and war. 
To sum up, even if the Admiral of the Nine Gates closed the Jingshi, it would still be difficult to take the Forbidden City. The course of history is fraught with myriad unknown risks and variables, and every decision can trigger a butterfly effect. We look forward to continuing to dive into this topic in the next issue.
