Chapter 2656 Gui Zi Juan grinds his fists and slaps his palms, and has a big fight
From the moment he took over Xuanfu Town, Liu Wei was obsessed with getting rid of all the constraints he had in Liaodong Town, and wanted to build Xuanfu Town into a border town of his own.
In his opinion, neither Cao Wenzhao nor Zhao Ledong could really control the entire military town during Liaodong Town, so the combat effectiveness of Liaodong Town was never able to be displayed.
The one who can truly be said to be able to do things with ease is the Li Chengliang era. Feng Tang also developed a posture towards Li Chengliang. Unfortunately, he served as the commander-in-chief for too short a time. Only in the Li Chengliang era could he truly control Liaodong Town, and no one dared to disobey orders.
When he arrived in Xuanfu Town, there was no longer any restriction from the governor. The vacancy of the governor of Xuanda also gave him an opportunity. Coupled with Li Sancai's strong support and the adjustment of Liaodong Town itself, many military generals who were originally close to Liu Wei continued to come from Liaodong was transferred to Xuanfu, and the generals he was not satisfied with were also rotated to Jizhen and Liaodong.
It can be said that these two years have been the most satisfying two years for Liu Wei, and his control over the entire Xuanfu Town has been greatly strengthened, so he dared to mobilize the Xuanfu army in Yanqing and Huailai in a clear way. Conduct a large-scale "drill".
It was said to be a drill, but Liu Wei knew the story behind it.
However, he was riding a tiger and could not dismount, and the arrow was stuck on the string and had to be fired.
Without Li Sancai, without him, today, at best, we would be the deputy general soldier in the border town, and it would be difficult to get to where we are today.
Feng Ziying did not trust him, and Sun Chengzong disliked him, so he could only rely on Li Sancai, and now that he had the emperor's endorsement, he had no reason not to take a chance.
If this can be successful, it is not impossible to proclaim the position of Governor-General of Jiliao or Governor-General of Jiliao in the future.
Of course he also knew the huge risks involved here. If it was just the emperor's personal intention, even if his father had served as the emperor's martial arts teacher, Liu Wei would not hesitate to refuse, but it was different with Li Sancai. .
Prime Minister Qi has fallen ill, and Li Sancai is the most respected leader second only to Qi Yongtai among the northern scholars. And more importantly, Li Sancai, as the leader of the northern scholars, has always had a close relationship with the Jiangnan scholars, so In the future battle for the first assistant, his strength will be no less than that of the current second assistant Gu Bingqian.
Gu Bingqian didn't have a good impression in the minds of Jiangnan scholars, and he had a weak personality. He was by no means a good candidate for the first assistant. Huang Ruliang and Tang Binyin didn't respect him too much, especially Tang Binyin, who had a bad relationship with him and often criticized him. other side.
It can be said that in the battle for the position of chief assistant, Gu Bingqian did not have much advantage. He simply hoped that Qi Yongtai would be handed over to him in accordance with the original agreement.
If there were no other factors intervening, Qi Yongtai, Huang Ruliang, Guan Yingzhen and others could indeed be passed to Gu Bingqian as they were when Ye Fang and Ye Fang handed over the throne, but now an unexpected factor has joined in, and that is the emperor's attitude.
Liu Wei has always found it incomprehensible that the emperor now has such a weak position in the court.
This is the country of the Zhang family. Although the country is governed by civil servants, the current actions of the cabinet have obviously usurped the imperial power. Even among the people, there are opinions on this. They believe that the current emperor is more like a puppet, and many of the cabinet's behaviors have become serious. He went beyond the rules of the system, so it is also said that the current Emperor Wan Tong is the Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty in the Later Han Dynasty.
"The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is now very popular among the people, so the situation of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty is also well known to everyone.
It's just that it's hard to say who is Dong Zhuo or Cao Cao. The cabinet is a group of people, not a single person. Even Qi Yongtai is not a role with sole power. Civil servants governing the country are different from Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao monopolizing military and political power. However, All in all, the emperor was treated very pitifully.
Since Qi Yongtai is going to step down, it is nothing more than Gu and Li competing for the position of chief assistant. Each has its own supporters. Gu Bingqian has the support of Qi Yongtai, Huang Ruliang and Guan Yingzhen are also leaning towards him, but Li Sancai With the support of Tang Binyin, it seems to be weaker, but it will be different if the emperor joins. The chief assistant of the cabinet must be approved by the emperor before he can be canonized as a bachelor of Jiandian Jidian, and he also has the qualification of chief assistant. Only those who have the emperor's personal approval are the real chief assistants. At this point, Li Sancai gained the support of Emperor Wan Tong and was almost invincible.
If it were a civil servant with little qualifications and prestige, he would naturally not be able to get this favor and honor. However, Li Sancai's qualifications are old enough. He said that he is second only to Qi Yongtai in seniority, and he is also a Northern scholar. The scholars in Jiangnan are friendly, and it can be said that all conditions are met.
Theoretically speaking, when there is no Jiedu envoy in the Beijing camp, Xiao Ruxun, the deputy envoy of the Jiedu camp, should be fully responsible. However, as the main force of the three major battalions of the Beijing camp, the strength of General Ma Chengxun of the fifth military camp even surpasses Xiao Ruxun. Xiao Ruxun He might still have some influence over the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, but Liu Wei knew that it was of no use to Ma Chengxun, who had served as a commander in chief and was a martial artist.
But fortunately, Ma Chengxun is also on the side of the emperor, so it will be much easier for the Beijing camp. Maybe Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu don't like Xiao Ruxun's face, but for the subordinates of Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu, it is not necessarily the case. Influential, and the strength of the Fifth Military Camp is much stronger than that of Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp. Together, Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp cannot compare with the Fifth Military Camp.
However, if you add the Shangsanqinjun, who was basically appointed by Feng Ziying, the situation becomes slightly more complicated. It can be said that the comparison of the strength of the two sides is evenly matched.
As for the manpower of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horse Division and the Patrol Battalion, they can be ignored. Under normal circumstances in Beijing, these manpower may still be of some use, but once all the armies are at war with each other, this kind of security force It can't be put on the table.
The two sides are equally powerful inside the city, so they have to rely on the forces outside the city. Their own Xuanfu Army is the force that determines the outcome, and of course the same is true for the Jizhen Army in the northeast.
But what he has to fight now is a time lag. As long as he breaks into the city before the Jizhen army reacts, takes control of the situation, the emperor "pro-administers", and Li Sancai canonizes the emperor as the first assistant of the Jianji Hall Grand Scholar, then everything will be fine. Li Sancai had been up and down in the court for many years, so he was naturally able to attract a group of people to stand up and get involved. When that time comes, it will be true when the fake is true.
From the current point of view, there is no movement in Jizhen for the time being. As long as Feng Ziying is not in the capital and Li Sancai is in charge, even if Sun Chengzong wants to mobilize foreign troops, it will not be easy. As long as his Xuanfu army enters the city first and controls the capital. Wait for a day or two, wait until the cabinet is formed and the situation stabilizes, and then quickly withdraw from the capital, it will be considered as completing the mission.
At this point, Liu Wei is still somewhat sure. Now his army has marched into Huailaiwei in the name of exercise, which is a hundred miles away from the capital city. In addition to the garrison guarding the border, a considerable part of the Jizhen Army is still there. Liaodong has not returned, and there are not many mobile troops stationed in Santun Camp. Moreover, Santun Camp is further away from the capital city, so no matter how you look at this battle, you should be very confident.
While Liu Wei was looking at the capital city in the southeast, Feng Ziying was also rushing to Santun camp day and night.
After entering March, the climate in eastern Liaoning is still very cold, but the weather in western Liaoning has begun to get warmer. After passing Guangning, we entered the western Liaoning Corridor.
The remaining snow has melted, but the road conditions are actually not good. Fortunately, the weather has cleared up. As we go south, the ground gradually becomes dry and hard, making it more suitable for traveling.
Feng Ziying is more concerned about Niuzhuang. The Denglai army is still waiting to board the ship. However, judging from the current weather, Niuzhuang will not thaw within ten days, which will cause some trouble.
But Feng Ziying didn’t have much to worry about anymore. There was no way he could win by waiting in Denglai Town. Going north from Xuzhou from Jiangbei Town was too risky. He would not dare to do it unless he had to fight to the death, and he was also running out of time.
Wait until Liu Baichuan's entire army is ready to go out, and then find a ship to go north. Such a large army will not be possible for more than half a month.
The only thing that gives Feng Ziying confidence now is that the influence of Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen in the Fifth Army Camp is increasing day by day. Both of them are already generals. As long as they insist on opposing or restraining Ma Chengxun, the power of the Fifth Army Camp will be great. At a discount, the Shenshu Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, plus the Sanqin Army, have been able to steadily suppress Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun.
Although the Five City Soldiers and Patrol Battalions are just some security forces, they are very familiar with the situation in the capital city, and they can still be useful in doing some obstruction and follow-up work, such as necessary threats to those who intend to obey Ma Chengxun. The middle and lower-level officials asked them to carefully consider the safety of their family members in Beijing. This threat is quite effective.
“Have Shuntian Mansion and the Wucheng Military and Horse Division already notified you?”
While galloping on his horse, he casually asked Wu Yaoqing who was following closely behind him.
"Don't worry, it has been arranged in advance. As expected, there is indeed a problem in Jia Yucun. During this period, he has been secretly communicating with Long Jinwei. However, Master Fu has been reminded by the master and has already started to make preparations. Ni With the cooperation of my second brother, Mr. Fu, the third-class yamen officer, can still control it, but there will definitely be some disturbances."
Wu Yaoqing also had to admire Feng Ziying's judgment on Jia Yucun.
In his opinion, Jia Yucun should definitely be on Feng Ziying's side, because his promotion to Shuntian Prefecture was entirely due to Feng Ziying's help. His gratitude is self-evident, but Feng Ziying categorically denied it and only said Jia Yucun is a very utilitarian person. Once he feels that an opportunity is worth taking, it is hard to say whether he will take the risk. Now it seems that Feng Ziying is more accurate in judging people.
