Chapter 2672 Gui Zi Juan Assault, Breaking the Situation (3)
The Shenshu Battalion that captured Wenyuan Pavilion continued to attack the Qibu Yamen in the west. After learning that Wenyuan Pavilion was lost, the morale of the banner guard was also severely damaged. They retreated in succession and quickly retreated to the front line of Chengtian Gate. .
"What should we do, sir?" Zhang Jin looked livid and stared at the buildings with flickering flames to the east. The deputy next to him also asked nervously: "I can't stand it anymore. Doesn't it mean that the Fifth Army Battalion will come over first to help us clean it up?" The Fourth Guards Camp and the Warriors Camp? Why did the Shenshu Camp come over instead? What is Ma Chengxun doing?"
Zhang Jin shook his head.
He realized that he had made a wrong step and should not have boarded this ship under the pressure of his old boss Lu Song.
It's not that it went against my original intention. After eating this bowl of rice, it was not wrong to turn my hands to make clouds and rain. Good birds choose trees to roost, but the mistake was to underestimate Feng Ziying's control of the armies in Beijing. force.
Ma Chengxun obviously failed to truly control the Fifth Army Camp. Otherwise, the Fifth Army Camp would have the same overwhelming advantage over the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp combined, but now there is no news.
This can only be due to the fact that Feng Ziying obviously retained a hand in the Fifth Army Camp, and this hand must not only be the Northwest Army Xu Guoye left behind by Tu Wenxiu, but also others, so that Ma Chengxun is probably still working to eliminate internal troubles. My head hurts, and I haven’t had time to attack here yet.
Now the situation is reversed, even the cabinet ministers have been "robbed" back by the Shenshu camp, which is a big trouble.
Moreover, now that the Shenshu Camp is on the offensive, the Seventh Division cannot defend and cannot hold it. Without the support of Ma Chengxun’s Fifth Army Battalion, it was originally overwhelmed when facing the attacks of the Four Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion. Now, The Shenshu Battalion has joined in and has formed an overwhelming advantage. This small number of troops cannot resist it. The next step is not only that the Qibu Yamen will be captured, but more likely that the palace ban will also be recaptured.
It can be imagined how much the ministers in the cabinet hate that person in the palace. They will defeat him at all costs, and he may even get a pot of poisonous wine. They don't care about the impact of attacking the palace. .
Now how to do?
Looking at his subordinates who were already a little exhausted and unable to support themselves, Zhang Jin felt regretful.
When Lu Song forced him to side with Emperor Wan Tong and Li Sancai, he was hesitant. Although he didn't agree with being a hawk for the cabinet, to be honest, he didn't have much favorable impression of Emperor Wan Tong either, but Lu Song Already in line, a group of key military attachés under him are basically here to serve as Long Jinwei. If he goes against Lu Song or even cuts off his robes and breaks up with each other, he is not sure whether these subordinates will all be on his side. .
It was in this state of indecision that he was passively drawn into this camp.
At the beginning, Lu Song also kept saying that he was captured, and he indeed sealed the palace and imprisoned the cabinet and officials of the seven ministries in one fell swoop. It can be said that he took the absolute initiative at once, but he did not expect that the counterattack of the Fourth Guards Camp and the Warrior Camp came so quickly. It exceeded expectations, and this even made Zhang Jin worry that the other party had been instructed by someone to spy on him secretly.
The Fifth Army Camp, which was making a lot of noise, fired dumb cannons and has not yet appeared. On the contrary, the Shenshu Camp attacked and caught itself off guard.
"What do you think?" As his deputy was his closest and most trusted confidant, Zhang Jin kept almost everything secret from him, and he also heard some overtones in the other person's words.
"Sir, I'm afraid I'm going the wrong way, but it might still be too late to turn back." The subordinate glanced around and gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Feng Ziyi is over there."
It's just that now the two of them have parted ways and taken different paths.
“Oh?” Zhang Jin’s expression changed slightly, and he sighed again, “Have you met him?”
"No, he just asked someone to bring a message, saying that it's not too late to turn back. It's still too late." The subordinate lowered his voice and said: "He said that Mr. Feng has returned to Beijing and is in the city..."
Zhang Jin was shocked and asked in surprise: "Really?"
The subordinates knew that their boss and Mr. Feng had always had a close relationship, but it was very helpless to take this path this time.
But in that situation, especially under Lu Song’s strong pressure, Zhang Jin really couldn’t bear the pressure, so she took this path.
Facts have proved that this path is wrong, and it is very likely to lead the entire banner guard brothers into an irreversible abyss, so the subordinates also have to test Zhang Jin to see if he wants to change his mind.
"It should be true, otherwise it would be impossible for the Shenshu Battalion and the Shenji Battalion to come over so aggressively all at once, and there is no need for Feng Ziyi to lie..." His subordinates mused, "Looking at the current embarrassing situation of the Fifth Army Camp, I guess It’s probably related to Mr. Feng’s return to Beijing,…”
Zhang Jin remained silent.
In this situation, is there any room to turn back? He wasn't sure.
But he knew that the minds of these people under his command might have changed.
If the Fifth Army Camp resolves the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp to reinforce themselves, then the group of people under them may still be able to hold on. They feel that this road is not bad, and it is worthwhile to betray the cabinet and Lord Feng.
But now it is just the opposite. The situation is extremely unfavorable. If we don't make a decisive turn, I am afraid that we will really become the first offender to be executed in the future. We are afraid that the flag bearer will eventually be thrown into the abyss and never be able to stand up.
In this case, it is unavoidable that these people have different thoughts and have certain thoughts.
“Then do you think we should accept Feng Ziyi’s request?”
Zhang Jin has a somewhat indecisive temperament, and at this time, he is still a little undecided. It is precisely this hesitation in his character that makes Lu Song see through him, so he forces him to turn to this side.
"It's up to you to decide, but now the situation is getting clearer. The only thing we can rely on now is the group of people who are still guarding the Qibu Yamen Office. Maybe this is why Feng Ziyi came to the door, or in other words, this is This is our only capital. Without this, maybe Feng Ziyi won’t bother to come to us. Once the Shenshu Battalion and the Warrior Battalion join forces to fight, we have no chance of winning, and we don’t even have much chance to resist.”
Your subordinates seem to be able to feel Zhang Jin's entanglement and regret now, but now the situation has evolved into this, and you can't change it. You can only face it and make wise decisions as soon as possible.
Zhang Jin crossed his fingers together, took a deep breath, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay, go ask Feng Ziyi to come. Since I was wrong, I can't go all the way. I am willing to take the blame and go see Feng Ziyi." grown ups."
