Chapter 2667 Guizijuan arrives in Beijing and enters the city
Li Sancai and Zhang Jingqiu both believed that nothing could happen in just one day.
Longhutai is eighty miles away from the capital city. If we follow the speed of the rapid march, we can reach it in one day.
Looking around, apart from Liu Wei's Xuanfu Army and Sun Shaozu's Datong Army, where are the other armies?
The Ji Zhen Army counts, but the Ji Zhen Army is stationed in Santun Camp, more than 400 miles away from the capital city. Even if the cavalry wants to come over, it will take two days, and it will have to use horse power.
Now maybe You Shigong has got the news. Even if he gets Sun Chengzong's order to send troops, it will be impossible without a day's preparation. And to come from Santun camp, the cavalry will rush over regardless of it, and it will take two days. , and for infantry, it takes at least five days, and they have to travel day and night.
More importantly, where did You Shigong get the order? Without orders from the Ministry of War, neither Li Sancai nor Zhang Jingqiu believed that You Shigong was the kind of general who could make such an important decision decisively.
You Shigong's calm and cautious character determines that he cannot make decisions in time, so it is good to arrive at the capital city in seven or eight days.
But if they still can't get rid of these people in the capital in seven or eight days, Li Sancai and Zhang Jingqiu also feel that they are really incompetent and unworthy of being in charge of the cabinet.
However, neither Li Sancai nor Zhang Jingqiu, Liu Wei, who was mobilizing troops at Longhutai, and even Sun Shaozu, did not expect that Feng Ziying had arrived in Shunyi at this time.
The two armies led by Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu have already gathered from Huairou and Miyun to Shunyi, which is even closer to the capital city than Longhu Tower.
Seeing Feng Ziying arriving, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were overjoyed.
Although they received orders to rush to Shunyi immediately, they were confused and didn't know what was happening.
Suddenly leaving one's own defense zone and advancing toward the capital city like this can easily cause trouble. Although this is also the Jizhen defense zone, it is no longer a frontier fortress.
After Huang Degong arrived, he saw that Zuo Liangyu had also arrived with his army, and he knew that things might not be simple.
It’s just that what can happen in this land of Gyeonggi is worthy of having the governor come back from Liaodong in such a mysterious way and personally take command. It is really puzzling, and I haven’t heard anything special during this time.
Of course, this particular statement is also relative to the field of vision of the two of them. Their eyes are fixed on the Mongols outside the border wall or the possible resurgence of the White Lotus Sect, and others are not considered.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Feng Ziying ordered the two of them to immediately prepare to rush to Qinghe Store overnight.
“Qinghe Store?!” Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were both shocked.
That is the choke point leading to the capital city from the west. Qinghedian is also the most important post station outside the capital city, which is only less than ten miles away from the capital city.
Huang Degong now has about 10,000 troops as a general, while Zuo Liangyu also leads more than 6,000 troops as a guerrilla, which is quite impressive.
At this time, I suddenly arrived at Qinghe Store, which is almost under the capital city, and there is a lot of traffic coming and going. Wouldn't it be known in the capital city that the two armies are approaching the capital city tomorrow?
What is this going to do?
Rebellion?
"Sir, could you please tell me what we are doing at Qinghe Store? It is too close to the capital city to cover up." Zuo Liangyu is not as cautious as Huang Degong, and he has an unusual relationship with Feng Ziying, so he just Tiao Ming said: "I might be labeled as a mutiny and rebellion."
"Some people have already rebelled. I let you go to prevent more people from getting involved in the rebellion and making it get out of hand." Feng Ziying said calmly.
"Huh?!" Huang Degong, who had always maintained a calm expression, couldn't help but suddenly changed his expression, "Rebellion? Who?"
Feng Ziying almost said "Your Majesty", but she also knew that it was inappropriate to say such a witticism, so she shook her head: "It's very complicated to say, and it's not a sentence or two. I will go with you, but I will only go with you for a while. , I am going to Beijing, and I told the people on the way that Brother You will lead most of the army to Pinggu soon, and He Renlong's Denglai army is estimated to have arrived at Xianghe by now."
"Huh? Master You and the soldiers from Denglai Town are here too?" Huang and Zuo looked at each other in confusion.
Even the most insensitive person knows that something big has probably happened in Beijing.
The group of people quickly set off on the road.
Hunting from Shunyi to Qinghedian is actually not too far. It is almost the same as going to the capital city. After crossing the Yu River, it is almost there.
After crossing the Yu River, Feng Ziying had to part ways with Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu.
After learning that their opponent might be Liu Wei's Xuanfu army, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were both shocked.
"Sir, do you really want to go to war with the Xuanfu Army?" Besides, they are Feng Ziying's direct descendants. Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu are still a little worried. Once this kind of civil war begins, it will be hard to say who is right and wrong in the end. The king was defeated.
"What, are you afraid that you can't beat me?" Feng Ziying asked casually as he rode forward.
"That's not the case. We arrived first and have been to Qinghe Store. It's a flat river. But this is a small market town developed based on a post station. There are many houses that can be used as barriers to defend. Although Liu Wei's Xuanfu Army has a considerable strength It's several times more powerful than us. However, your master ordered us to bring all the artillery. Even if we didn't bring the long-barreled heavy artillery, the Tiger Crouching Cannon was enough for them to drink a pot. They came from far away, and they definitely couldn't bring the long-barreled heavy artillery. , if they attack and defend, they will suffer."
Huang Degong regained his composure at this time.
Being a soldier and eating food is a life-threatening job in itself.
He rose to prominence after following Feng Ziying, and was promoted to the rank of general in his early twenties. Although he worked **** his own, the army was full of talented lieutenant generals, and he did not appreciate his talent. When would it be his turn to be a young boy?
Now it's just another desperate bet. If the bet is right, maybe I will be promoted to deputy commander in the next round. If the bet is wrong, Mr. Feng will be in front of me. With Mr. Feng's character, he will naturally have to protect him. It belongs to the people below, so he is also happy.
"Hehe, didn't Brother Feng say that Sun Shaozu's Datong Army is still behind?" Zuo Liangyu laughed sinisterly, "I'm afraid Liu Wei never dreamed that friendly forces would be fatal, right? A fool who can't see the situation deserves to be unlucky. ah."
"Liu Wei fought bravely and was considered a fierce general in Liaodong, but his mind is too simple. It is not his blessing to get involved in such things." Feng Ziying shook his head and said: "Hushan, Kunshan, you arrived at Qinghe Store After that, we need to quickly set up defensive positions and prepare for war. It will be slower for You Shiwei to lead his army. After all, he needs to integrate several units, and there is such a long distance. I guess I won't have time to catch up with Liu Wei and others to preemptively strike. In addition, I don’t know exactly where the Denglai Army has gone, and they haven’t been connected yet..."
"Don't worry, sir. Even without the support of Sun Shaozu's Datong troops, Kunshan and I can rely on Qinghedian to defend for three to five days. I also want to see if Liu Wei's Xuanfu army is as famous as our Jizhen troops. False reputation." Huang Degong looked like he wanted to fight.
"Hushan, I don't want to fight this war. Seeing that the foreign troubles have been eliminated and the country is at peace, it's time to consider how to stabilize people's livelihood and expand outward. However, something like this comes again. The Jizhen Army and Xuanfu Whether it's an army or Datong soldiers, they are all the elite of our frontier army. If we fight, we will cause internal friction among ourselves, and those who die will also be our great Zhou Dynasty men. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want to set a precedent..."
Feng Ziying also expressed emotion, "But now that the pattern in Beijing has been broken, there will inevitably be a period of turmoil. No one knows what it will be like or what the final result will be. Therefore, we have no choice but to maintain the necessary force and should use it at critical moments. I will not hesitate to use force."
Feng Ziying knew very well the thoughts of these warriors. If they didn't fight, how would they get military glory? If you want to be promoted, how can you convince the public if you don't have enough military exploits?
Whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, as long as we can fight, it will be fine.
These warriors are not that particular. Even if you want to force them not to start a war, it is still difficult, so the best way is to use their war-seeking thoughts on external conquests.
After crossing the Yuhe River, Feng Ziying, Jia Huan, Wu Yaoqing and others immediately flew to the capital city.
At this time, Feng Ziying no longer cared about any rules.
It is normal for people not to enter the capital without an edict. The situation in the entire capital city is currently unclear. Although the news from people like Dad and Feng Ziyi along the way can roughly outline a chaotic situation, the specifics are also a mystery. It’s unknown, you have to go and see it in person to know.
What is the current situation of the cabinet ministers? Are the Seven Ministries and the Procuratorate still functioning? Or have they all been jailed or even wiped out?
Whether he can enter the city is still unknown. He has to go to the city to find out.
Feng Ziying knew that according to convention, the defense of the outer city was handed over to the Jingying Camp, and the internal work of the Jingying Camp was divided. The North City and South City were handed over to the Fifth Army Camp, and the East City and West City were handed over to the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp.
Because the South City includes two walls, the outer wall and the inner city, it has the most gates. In comparison, there are only four gates on the east and west sides. This includes all the east and west gates. Not counting the gates, there are only three gates, while the inner city has only three gates. There are only two doors in each city.
Of course, Feng Ziying would not go to the north, but directly to the east.
The most convenient way is to take Dongzhimen.
At the Dongzhi Gate, Feng Ziying saw that the gate had been closed a long time ago, and asked Jia Huan to go up and ask. She had not shown up for the time being, and she had to guard against any changes inside. Fortunately, she quickly figured out that it was still controlled by the people of Shenshu Yingma Jinbao. Yes, but the situation seems to be quite tense.
