Chapter 1689: Ren Zijuan’s Sturdy Advance
"But even so, You Shigong's main force is still on the front line in Shunyi. If the Xuanfu army has already advanced eastward, You Shigong will be too late." Feng Ziying said calmly and calmly: "So I persuaded King Zhonghui to mobilize him first. The Beijing camp seizes Gonghua City."
Han Xu and Wang Yongguang were both shocked. They were shocked again by Feng Ziying's boldness. They just persuaded Xu Dahua to give the order. After all, Xu Dahua was the minister of the Ministry of War. How could the troops in the Beijing camp be mobilized at will? The Beijing camp cannot be moved out of Beijing without the approval of the emperor, the cabinet, and the Ministry of War. If King Zhonghui dares to do this, it is a violation of heaven. Even if he is the governor of the Beijing camp and a relative of the emperor, he will still be held accountable!
Besides, King Zhonghui has been idle for many years, so he doesn’t even understand this rule, right? It can only be said that Feng Ziying's sharp tongue was so powerful that she actually persuaded King Zhonghui.
Seeing Han Xu and Wang Yongguang's expressions of disbelief, Feng Ziying said calmly: "I didn't say anything else. If the information is wrong, at worst, King Zhonghui will not be the governor of the Beijing Camp. It doesn't matter if the emperor wakes up. Whether the emperor ascends the throne, he will not care too much. After all, he also thinks about the emperor and the prince. However, if he does not do this, and unfortunately I am right, then King Zhonghui and King Zhongshun will not be as simple as removing them from their posts. I’m afraid that just considering that a family being imprisoned and living in seclusion for the rest of their lives is considered merciless by Prince Yohitada.”
The two of them were silent.
The battle to seize the rightful son was so cruel. When Prince Yi Zhong changed from a prince to an ordinary prince, Emperor Yonglong suppressed him a lot. Without the Supreme Emperor's vigorous protection, how could Prince Yi Zhong be in the situation he is in today?
Prince Yoshitaka also understood that once the Emperor was gone, he would not be able to escape misfortune, so he made such a desperate move.
As civil servants, they are unwilling to get involved in this kind of thing, because whoever becomes the emperor will have an impact on the interests of civil servants in different regions, but it will not have much impact on the overall interests of civil servants in Shilin. Damage, so they are unwilling to get involved, or get involved too deeply.
Unconsciously, the two kings of Han had subconsciously accepted the fact that Prince Yi Zhong was going to seize the throne. This was very different from the previous situation that neither of them wanted to believe.
Feng Ziying seemed to understand the state of mind of the two of them, and smiled and said: "I also know that we should not get involved in this kind of thing, but You Shigong has only arrived in Shunyi now, and he was dragged to the front line in Pinggu before, because The front line between Jiangjunshi and Huangyayu was harassed by Chahar people. This is very abnormal. In addition, traces of Chahar enemies were also found in Dongzizidian in the north. I don’t believe that Chahar people would come to the small area for no reason at this time. This is not in line with their habits..."
Han Xu hesitated to speak, which is indeed difficult to explain.
"Also, I have to admit that Wang Ziteng has a good way of training troops. His Denglai army faced other Turkish armies in the Huguang area. They plowed the court and swept the holes. They were sure to win every battle. However, they always lingered in Huguang and refused to go deep into Bozhou, and Yang Yinglong’s battles are all painless, and they stop after a brief taste. Is there anything fishy here?"
Feng Ziying refused to give up. He needed to make the topic clear and let the other party understand the current degree of danger and the pros and cons. It could no longer be limited to Qi Yongtai and a few members of his cabinet filing lawsuits.
If we don't unite people's hearts and work together, then in this situation, Prince Yi Zhong, even if he is blocked to the west of Gonghua City by the Fifth Army Camp and You Shigong, can still rely on the advantages he has established to defeat the ministers in the DPRK one by one and win without a fight. Subjugate the enemy's soldiers and seize the position of great treasure.
"Although Wang Ziteng and Niu Jizong were born in martial arts, they are actually from Jinling and have inextricable connections with the Jiangnan gentry. Prince Yi Zhong's roots are also in Jiangnan. Han Gong, Wang Gong, you Dare we say that Jiangnan has been clamoring for tax cuts, the abolition of the northwest, and the establishment of Huaiyang Town for more than a year, but there are no such people here making plans and shouting out the flag? I dare not say that the Ye Fang princes have the same attitude, but their policy of connivance and compromise is absolutely There is a problem, which actually fuels the arrogance of Jiangnan’s gang, and also gives Prince Yi Zhong and others the opportunity to grow stronger!”
Han Xu and Wang Yongguang finally changed their minds.
It is not that they are unaware of these problems, but firstly, they do not fall within their scope of responsibilities. Secondly, with Qi Yongtai in the cabinet and Zhang Huaichang in the Ministry of War, their focus is still on the north, Liaodong and northwest, so although they are also I sensed something unusual about Prince Yoshitaka, but subconsciously ignored it.
But today when the emperor was assassinated, and Feng Ziying singled out these issues so ruthlessly and explained them clearly, they realized that they really didn't seem to pay attention to this issue before.
With his face changing, Han Xu finally understood why Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia valued Feng Ziying so much.
There is a special charm in this guy's words and opinions, which are well-founded and can make people subconsciously convinced.
It's just puzzling that this guy is so young, how can he be so knowledgeable and experienced in judgment? If he can be like this in his forties or fifties, then so be it, but this guy is only twenty years old.
"Okay, Ziying, I understand what you mean. It seems that Prince Yi Zhong is indeed planning a big game, but I feel that Brother Chengfeng, Brother Huaichang and the Emperor should have been somewhat prepared. Ye Fang They should also know, right?" Han Xu guessed some clues.
While the three of them were talking, Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, Zhang Ji and others arrived.
"Look, in addition to external troubles, we also have internal troubles here. If the emperor is unconscious, these gentlemen may not be able to live peacefully." Feng Ziying sneered.
Han Xu and Wang Yongguang also frowned subconsciously, and sighed in their hearts. Of course, these people came hand in hand. Of course, they didn't just visit Yonglong Emperor to perform their filial piety. Everyone knew what they were here for, but they didn't. It can't be exposed.
As expected, when Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Ji saw Chai Ke, Xu Dahua, and Han Xu, they simply asked Zhou Peisheng, who had been guarding the entrance of the palace and was not allowed to disturb the emperor, and then ran straight here. coming.
Seeing the three people greeting several civil servants with sadness but warmly, Feng Ziying felt a little disgusted and wanted to avoid it, but she knew she couldn't avoid it.
Soon, Concubine Xu and Concubine Lu appeared at the palace door. Apparently they came out after hearing their son's voice.
They were allowed to wait in the inner hall, but were not allowed to enter the dormitory to disturb them. Only one imperial physician and two personal chamberlains, Cheng'an and Chenggui, stayed there.
Just when there was a commotion in the Tiewengshan Palace, the Yanqing Guards Corps army, which was more than 200 miles away, came in and out, and the forwards were quickly approaching Longhu Terrace.
Longhu Terrace is a terrace less than 40 miles away from the Yanqing Guards Station. The terrace is one foot higher than the surrounding area and forms a gentle slope. The fortress is built on this terrace. You can have a good view of the post road below and the sloping Yu River next to it. It is also the choke point from the capital to Yanqing.
Ji Town originally had a Baihu Station stationed here, but after Yanqing Guard became the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town, the garrison here adjacent to Yanqing Guard also changed from Bai Baihu Station to Thousand House Station. In theory, the number of troops stationed there is one. There are 1,112 members, but only about 300 people are actually stationed.
"Lord Qianhu, look, what is that?" Standing on the wall of the guardhouse and looking at it, a commander-in-chief squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully.
It's now time. Logically speaking, the number of business travelers should gradually decrease. Even in broad daylight, there shouldn't be such a large cavalry passing by. The yellow dust rolled up covers the sky. Except for the large cavalry, ordinary business travelers can't So powerful?
Chang Zhenwei was a little uneasy.
Less than forty miles away from Lulu is the Yanqing Guard. I heard that the Yanqing Guard has increased its number of troops in the past half month, and I don't know what the Xuanfu Town is doing.
Is it necessary to conduct an offensive and defensive exercise within the city wall? This is a bit of a fuss. Normal exercises are done on city walls or under fortresses. How could they choose to do it in the hinterland within the city walls like Yanqing Guard?
"It's the Xuanfu Cavalry!" Seeing the yellow dust getting thicker and thicker, the ground shaking slightly, but not seeing any beacons burning, Chang Zhenwei swallowed with some difficulty.
Except for the Xuanfu cavalry, no one can do such a large-scale operation but be so uniform. If the Mongols broke in, it would be impossible for them all to rush in along the post road. They would all rush in in a mess.
"Xuanfu soldiers?" Zongqi asked in surprise: "What are they going to do? Enter the capital? Who allowed them to enter our Jizhen territory?"
Chang Zhenwei cannot answer this question. The reasoning should not be like this.
If the Xuanfu army were to cross the border, official documents would have been issued by the Ministry of War and the General Military Mansion in Ji Town. However, as the first outpost in the northwest of Ji Town, he had never received any orders. On the contrary, the General Military Mansion had already issued an order as early as three months ago. There was a secret order telling him to keep abreast of the movements of the Yanqing Guard next door at all times, but he has not seen any big movement from the Yanqing Guard in the past three months. It was only half a month ago that he started to see the number of Yanqing Guard increase. He had already reported it to the General Military Mansion, but there was no reply.
Thinking of this, Chang Zhenwei had a sudden thought, turned around and walked down the wall, and immediately ordered the two cavalry to leave the stronghold and go straight to Shunyi. He knew that General You was stationed in Shunyi now, and he had to report this abnormal situation in time.
The second cavalry had just left the stronghold and headed east. In less than a tea hour, the overwhelming cavalry had already crowded the entire post road, and quickly spread to both wings, surging past in an instant.
"Xuanfu Army Zhang Liangcai's troops rushed to Changping immediately upon the order of the Ministry of War!" The flag bearer with a leaping horse and a flag shouted angrily as he galloped past the fort: "Longhu Taizhai will open the door immediately and be taken over by our troops!"
