Chapter 308 Wang Ziteng is eager for quick success and quick profit, and wronged the country and the army!
Wang Ziteng took a deep breath and calmed down.
Hearing the small soldier's hesitation, he said: "Jie Shuai, we didn't bring many people, and now we don't know what's going on in the mansion, why don't we invite people from Wucheng Bingma Division and Jinyi Mansion to help."
Wang Ziteng's face was full of anger, and he shouted: "Then go!"
The soldier's small school stopped talking, and led a few soldiers out of the official office of the household department.
Wang Ziteng led other soldiers, also left the household office, and went out on horseback.
At the same time, at the west city gate, Cui Jin, a thousand households of the Liwei Camp, and his generals, nearly [-] soldiers were standing on top of the tower, with bows and crossbows strung up, ready for battle.
At this moment, at the end of the street, a large number of Wucheng soldiers and horsemen in light yellow military uniforms, and Jinyifu Tiqi with red feathers and black robes emerged like a tide, from far to near.
There are about 6000 people.
The soldiers and horses of the five cities are commanded by the east and west, with 500 people, and the Jinyifu Tiqi has 500 people.
The one who took the lead was Xie Zaiyi, the commander of Dongcheng, accompanied by Shen Yan, the commander of Xicheng, followed by the commander of Jinyidu, Ji Yingtian, and several thousand households of Jinyifu.
As for Qu Lang, he led another team of Jinyiwei Tiqi, and Dong Qian, the deputy commander of Zhongcheng, led the soldiers and horses of the five cities to take over the defense of the three cities in the north, south and east.
The Tiqi from the Jinyi Mansion in the city was dispatched, and in the middle of the capital, several thousand households guarded the important street intersections, guarding against the rebellion of the former eliminated soldiers.
"Listen, Liwei Battalion! This officer is Xie Zaiyi, the commander of the East City. I have been ordered by the Emperor to take over the defense of the West City. Please hurry and get out of the way!" General Weiying, shouted Shen.
Behind them, Martin and Jinyi Tiqi, the five city soldiers, also drew their swords out of their sheaths, drew their bows and set up their arrows, their swords were on the verge of firing.
Qianhu Cui Jin's eyes flickered, and at the crenel, he said loudly: "We are also ordered by the Ministry of War to guard the west gate alone, and the soldiers and horses of the five cities must not interfere with military affairs!"
Xie Zaiyi sneered, and shouted: "You are so courageous, dare to forge the order of the Ministry of War, the Emperor Jinyi and his troops are here, are you planning to rebel?"
"I'm not waiting for rebellion, it's the Qing emperor's side! Brothers, kill Prince Teng, so that we can make a living!" Seeing that he was fooling people, even the soldiers behind him met Jinyifu Tiqi, and saw the shaken face, Qianhu Cui Jin hurriedly shouted loudly: "Shoot the arrow!!!"
"Rebel!" Xie Zaiyi snorted coldly, quickly took off the bow and arrow hanging on the saddle, twisted out an arrow, and shot at the general who accosted at the gate tower.
"prick……"
A piercing sound sounded, with an ear-piercing scream.
Cui Jin's pupils shrank, his complexion changed drastically, and he quickly lowered his head, only to feel that Fan Yang's Li tip "clicked" on his head, and he had been shot.
With a chill in his heart, he said loudly: "Let the arrows go, let the arrows go!"
But at this time, following Cui Jin's order, many soldiers of the Liwei camp opened their bows and released arrows. The two sides shot at each other, and there was a muffled groan for a while.
The soldiers of the five city soldiers and horses usually do most of their work to arrest robbers and bandits, and their archery skills are not as good as those of Luo Rui's Liwei Battalion. In addition, the Liwei Battalion leaned on the city wall and shot down from the top, so they were at a disadvantage after all. It was Shen Yan's troops in the west city, many of them were shot and fell to the ground, causing heavy casualties.
However, Jinyi Tiqi and the troops of the five city soldiers, horsemen and Ding Suo made up for the gap with the number of arrows.
Xie Zaiyi looked cold and gloomy, riding on the horse, twisted three arrows, and shot at the soldiers at the top of the city, every time the enemy hit by the arrow fell, and the suppressed area did not dare to take the lead.
The two sides fired at each other for a while, causing casualties to each other.
"Get on the shield, rush to the horse path, and kill the tower!" Xie Zaiyi saw that such a delay was not an option, he shouted angrily, and took the lead in raising the shield, riding the horse, and leading the soldiers.
Afterwards, a large number of soldiers from the five cities, Ma Sibingding and Jin Yiti cavalry shot arrows to cover and charged at the same time. Although the casualties increased, they gradually approached the gate of the city. At this time, they could no longer shoot at each other.
The soldiers on both sides fought hand-to-hand, and the superiority in the numbers of the Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyifu gradually came into play, and the two sides competed and fought around the city wall.
Ji Yingtian saw this scene after Tiqi, his face changed slightly, he gritted his teeth, and charged forward.
For a moment, the two sides collided and fought, and the sound of killing shook the sky.
On the top of the city, with the soldiers and horses from both sides mixed together, it is difficult to shoot arrows.
Cui Jingao shouted: "Brothers hold on, hold on for a while, General Luo will come! Qing Jun side, kill Prince Teng!"
The Liwei camp gradually gathered the school soldiers in several places, while the Jinyi Tiqi below tried to close the city gate.
And as Wucheng Bingmasi and Jinyifu Tiqi suppressed the situation in the capital, and Xie Zaiyi rushed to help Xicheng, the shouts of killing from the battle with Liweiying camp spread far and wide, the six ministries, temples, Everyone in the prison office knew that something big had happened, there was an uproar in Beijing, and rumors spread everywhere.
The yamen sent yamen soldiers to inquire about the news, and the slogan "Qingjun side, kill Prince Teng" was also spread in Shenjing City.
Daming Palace, in the side hall.
The palace is full of warmth, as if in spring and summer. The maids and eunuchs stand solemnly by the curtains beside the pillars. Emperor Chongping is dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and is sitting on the imperial chair with his face like a crown jade. cabinet minister.
Yang Guochang, a scholar of Huagaidian and Minister of the Ministry of Households, Han Huang, a scholar of Jinshendian and Minister of Officials, Li Zan, a scholar of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhao Yi, a scholar of Wenhuage and Minister of Industry.
This is clearly a cabinet meeting before the imperial court.
The first topic is the establishment of the Economic and Strategic Appeasement Department and the rectification of military affairs at the border, the second is to check the salt affairs and check corruption, and the third is about the cabinet replacement.
After a lot of evasion and persuasion, it became a foregone conclusion not long ago that He Juncheng, the former scholar of the Wenhuadian University and the Minister of Rites, told his old man to return to his hometown.
Emperor Chongping had a smile on his face at the moment, and seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at Li Zan, and said loudly, "Li Qing, once the reorganization of the Beijing camp is completed, and next year Qing will be in the north, he can start to rectify the elite soldiers in the towns. As Qing said, nearly [-]% of the frontier gates are empty, and Xiang Neng has a solid amount of troops, so why do I worry about border troubles?"
Li Zan nodded, and said: "The frontier will be in the local area, and the forces are intertwined and deeply entrenched. I think the rectification should not be rushed."
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, his expression froze, and he was about to speak.
However, an inner eunuch came in from the outside and said, "Your Majesty, the Commander of the Tengxiang Left Guard Commander Xu Sheng is begging to see you."
The monarchs and ministers who were discussing were all taken aback.
The smile on Emperor Chongping's face froze slightly, he was surprised, and said loudly: "Xuan."
Not long after, a tall general with a square face stepped into the hall, saluted Emperor Chongping, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, the Jinyi Mansion was sent by Yunhui General Jia Heng to report to the Lieutenants guarding the west city of the Jingying. Luo Rui, the general of the Weiying camp, led his subordinates to rebel and cause chaos. Jinyi Mansion notified the four guards and the inner guards to set the key to the palace gate, and beware of any changes. The final general believed his words and closed the palace gate urgently .”
As soon as this remark came out, the faces of several cabinet ministers in the palace changed suddenly, full of surprise and doubt.
If Jinyi Mansion hadn't informed the palace gate to be locked, everyone would have thought that Jia Heng was trying to plot something wrong.
Emperor Chongping's face changed suddenly, and he shouted: "Liwei created a rebellion? What's going on? Where's General Yunhui?"
Xu Sheng clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jia Yunhui has already carried the Tianzi Sword and went to the Nancheng Camp to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion in the Yaowu Camp."
"Isn't it the Liwei camp? Why is it involved in the Yaowu camp?" Emperor Chongping was keenly aware of the changes and asked.
Xu Sheng said loudly: "According to the Jinyi Mansion, Li Xun, the governor of the Yaowu Camp, clashed with the guerrilla generals Luo Kai, Pan Qing and other generals because of the reorganization of the army. Last night, more than ten people were arrested and frozen. He died at Yuanmen just as his elder brother Luo Rui was staying at the west gate of the city. With resentment in his heart, he rode all his fine horses and went to Yaowu Camp, intending to incite the soldiers and cause chaos. The city soldier Ma Si and the Jinyi Mansion Tiqi took over the defense, and General Yunhui went to the Nancheng camp to dispatch troops to suppress the rebellion!"
An indifferent voice sounded in the hall, but it sounded like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, "clicking" in the hearts of the monarchs and ministers.
The Beijing camp mutinied because of the reorganization of the army?
Liwei camp, Yaowu camp, and other camps?
The muscles on Yang Guochang's old cheeks twitched, his voice was difficult, and he asked, "Where is Prince Teng, the envoy of the Beijing camp, who caused chaos in the Liwei camp?"
Xu Sheng shook his head and said: "Old Huige, he didn't tell anyone who came, and he didn't know about his humble position."
Emperor Chongping took a deep breath, with a solemn expression, and said, "Dai Quan, send the inner guards out of the palace gate to inquire about news."
It's not like he hasn't experienced strong winds and waves in the past ten years. Now that Jia Heng has controlled the situation, he thinks there will be no troubles.
But, what happened to Wang Ziteng?
At this moment, Dai Quan was equally astonished and unspeakable, so he responded and turned around.
However, before leaving the palace, I saw a few internal eunuchs standing under the eaves of the corridor outside the hall, holding a memorial in each hand, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Minister of the Household Department Qi Kun, Yin Xulu of the Jingzhao Mansion, Zhao Mo, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, A memorial was handed over from the palace gate, saying that there is something urgent to report."
When Emperor Chongping heard the words, he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring it here."
Not long after, several inner eunuchs entered the hall.
Emperor Chongping received the memorial, his face darkened, and the above letter roughly described how Prince Teng was asking for money in the household department, and then every time the soldiers and horses of the five cities came to report Liwei's rebellion.
Now Wang Ziteng has gone to the Beijing camp to quell the rebellion. As for the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they have dispatched soldiers to help the soldiers and horses in the five cities to maintain order. Wang Ziteng!"
"Arrogant soldier, how dare you bully the emperor like this!" Emperor Chongping roared angrily, threw the memorial in his hand on the ground, his cold and hard face was clouded, and a wave of anger and shame welled up in his heart.
The whole army has been trained in martial arts, and there is actually a mutiny. It is simply... the majesty is swept away!
Regardless of these, if these arrogant soldiers are connected together and cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous!
"Wang Ziteng is eager for quick success and quick benefits, and he is harming the country and the army!" Emperor Chongping roared in his heart, and suddenly remembered Jia Heng's reminder yesterday, and now thinking about it...
Emperor Chongping's complexion changed from white to red.
Suddenly, a feeling of rejoicing was born in his heart. He didn't take away the Tianzi Sword earlier, which was intended to show his favor, but now it has played a second role!
At this moment Yang Guochang bent down to pick up the memorial, and after reading it, his face was gloomy and uncertain.
And Han Huang, the second assistant of the cabinet, picked up another memorial to watch, frowning, and fell silent.
Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, also picked up Xu Lu's memorial, looked down, and sighed softly.
It was unusual for the soldiers to besiege the Ministry of War yesterday.
The atmosphere in the side hall gradually froze like ice.
Emperor Chongping's face was indifferent, trying not to show the anxiety in his heart, and asked in a calm voice: "Your Excellencies, what do you think?"
Yang Guochang frowned, and said in a dark voice: "The old minister thought that the most urgent thing to do is to quell the chaos in the capital camp. Your Majesty can issue an order for other regiment commanders to send troops to quell the rebellion."
"No!" Li Zan's complexion changed suddenly, and he interrupted.
Emperor Chongping looked at Li Zan with doubts in his eyes.
Li Zan's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "If the Holy Majesty issues an order, it can only prevent the rest of the battalion from leaving the camp. If they act recklessly, they will be punished as treason! Otherwise, Yaowu Camp is not an isolated case. Floating, once it instigates and clamors for it, even if it does not cause chaos, it can also hinder the imperial court's plan to reorganize the army! After this incident, it is inevitable that the prestige of the center will be completely lost, and I am afraid that the arrogant soldiers will come one after another, and there will be no end!"
This is a high-probability event. It is possible that the imperial decree will fail to quell the rebellion. Instead, they will be coerced into the city of Shenjing, beaten to the gate of the palace city, and threatened the court to declare that they will no longer eliminate generals and soldiers.
This is not a serious consequence, once the central prestige is lost, the world will be in chaos!
Once the prestige of the center is lost, all kinds of chaos emerge, the southeast mutual protection, the warlords separatism...
When Chen Han was defeated in the first battle of Liaodong, his vitality was severely damaged, which can be described as the starting point of turning from prosperity to decline.
Afterwards, the seizure of the heirloom was fierce, and the underpants of the imperial power were almost torn off. In desperation, the Supreme Emperor abdicated, and the two days were suspended, so that the royal majesty was barely maintained.
And let the army head enter the gate of the imperial city, in line with the world situation of internal and external troubles.
That gives people the feeling of... Dahan Pills!
People change their minds.
Han Huang's face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "My lord, I think what Li Dashi said is reasonable, and it is better to be quiet than to move. Now the school is deeply complaining about the imperial court's reorganization and elimination of the army. If the troops are deployed indiscriminately, if the thieves take the opportunity to make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous." !"
Emperor Chongping was shocked by the words of the two cabinet ministers. Realizing the seriousness of the matter, they were silent for a moment, and said: "Jia Heng has already transferred the Guoyong battalion to counter the rebellion. Is it possible for one of the battalions to control the situation?"
It's not that they don't trust Jia Heng, but how the First Battalion overwhelms the restless Eleventh Regiment Battalion.
Li Zan said: "Your Majesty can issue an order to appease the other battalions, order the camp gates to be closed tightly, and not to move rashly. I am willing to let you out of the palace and go to Longshouyuan to appease the generals and schools of the regiments, and help Jia Yunhui put down the rebellion!"
At this time, almost no one mentioned Wang Ziteng anymore. He messed up the matter and disturbed the peace of the palace.
"Li Qing..." Emperor Chongping's complexion changed, complex expressions appeared in his eyes, and his heart was filled with emotion.
The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the toughness knows the loyal ministers!
Han, Yang, and Zhao, the three pavilion elders, felt their hearts tremble slightly. Qi Qi looked at Li Zan with a moved expression.
This time out of Miyagi, it is life and death.
Among the chaotic army, no one can say whether there will be any accidents.
Seeing Emperor Chongping's hesitation, Li Zan said with emotion: "Your Majesty, in such a chaotic situation, there must be a decree from the palace! The humble minister is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and he is in charge of the military orders. The heart of the general."
After hearing the words, Emperor Chongping was silent for a long time, staring at Li Zan, nodded and said, "Your words are very true."
The Eleventh Regiment battalion was in chaos. Although Jia Heng held the Tianzi Sword, he did not necessarily deter the arrogant soldiers of the Eleventh Battalion. Only Li Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War, had the qualifications and prestige to appease and intimidate the generals of the regiment battalion. make it messy.
At this moment, the inner supervisor in the outer room said loudly: "Your Majesty, the king of Nan'an and the king of Beijing are asking for an audience outside the gate of the palace. They said that they have something urgent to report. Please come down to the palace city to meet the Holy One."
As soon as Emperor Chongping's eyes changed, he felt a little unhappy. Are these people here to see a joke?
Thinking of this, he said in a deep voice: "Tell them, go back to the governor's mansion and wait for the order."
Then he looked at Han Huang and said, "Han Qing, to draw up an order, I have given Li Zan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, the right to deal with it on the fly, to act cheaply, and to go out of the palace to appease the Beijing camp."
After a while, the inner eunuch went back and forth, and replied: "Your Majesty, the king of Nan'an and Beijing, heard that the soldiers of the Jingying army mutinied and all of them were burned. I would like to come to the Jingying to appease the generals. Share your worries for His Majesty."
As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chongping's face turned frosty, and he said: "Tell Nan'an County Wang Yan Ye and Beijing Wang Shui Rong that I have sent imperial envoys to the capital camp, and ordered them to return to the Dudu Mansion to sit in command immediately, and they must not be neglected."
