Chapter 2748 Gui Zijuan group of "heroes" chasing "deer"
Dagukou.
Thousands of sails gather.
Many sea-going ships need to be replaced by river ships when they arrive here. Otherwise, the huge size will easily cause trouble in the river, and the sails of sea-going ships are not suitable for use in canals.
The troops are being sent down.
Densely packed soldiers came out of the boat in silence.
Just from the blue-black single-piece uniform, a knowledgeable person can tell that they are soldiers from Denglai Town, and many of these ships are also transport ships of the Denglai Navy.
At the same time, the soldiers who came down from Yuguan Port had already marched towards Beijing two days in advance. The Liaodong Army in black robes and red collars, the Dongjiang Army in green robes and purple collars, and the Jizhen Army in indigo uniforms, the three armies converged. They form a torrent and are surging westward.
At the same time, more than ten canal boats were floating northward along the canal and had already passed Linqing. The boats were also filled with soldiers, and their gray and white blouses proved that they came from Jiangbei.
If you can look down from the sky, you can see that thousands of miles away to the west, on the narrow mountain road from Guangchang to Zijingguan, an army is marching eastward through the Wuhui Mountains and is about to enter the territory of Beizhi.
Similarly, in Ji Town and Xuanfu Town, north of the capital city, there were troops preparing their troops, as if waiting for an order.
Sun Chengzong, the official of the Ministry of War, sat expressionlessly in the official hat chair, holding his forehead with his hands. He seemed to be troubled by fatigue and fatigue, and did not raise his head for a long time. Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Keli were like two fighting cocks, glaring at each other, but both No words.
"Zhi Sheng, all signs indicate that this is an organized plan. These border troops are so bold that it is almost a rebellion!" Xiong Tingbi's chest was sharply bullied, his fair cheeks turned red, and his fingers were spread out and randomly pointed in the air.
Yuan Keli smiled contemptuously, "Fei Bai, don't be alarmist. If the border troops in these ten towns all rebelled, would there be one or two thousand people coming? I'm afraid it would be tens of thousands from each border town!" Besides, hasn't the imperial court ever thought about why the Zhenwu people here are so resentful? Liaodong, Dongjiang, Jizhen, Denglai, Jiangbei, Shanxi, Xuanfu, haha, almost all border towns have reacted, can't we just Shouldn’t we reflect on it?”
Xiong Tingbi was not polite and sneered: "Li Qing, you really know how to quibble. Whether it's disarmament or the war against Mongolia, these are the decisions of the court. Is this the reason why the border town wants to rebel? As you do Say, An Lushan’s rebellion in the past has become justified?”
Yuan Keli also retorted: "Fei Bai, how did our border town in the Zhou Dynasty become a vassal town in the Li and Tang Dynasties? Is this comparable? According to you, the court can make any decision at will, even if it concerns other people's border towns. You don’t need to ask for anyone’s opinion when making decisions about hundreds of thousands of people’s wealth and lives? This is the fate of hundreds of thousands of elites. Does it mean that border towns can’t have their own opinions and attitudes? As the Ministry of War, we pretend to be deaf and dumb. It’s enough not to say anything, why should we not allow others to speak out?”
"Haha, making a sound? Is this how they make a sound? Are they admonishing soldiers, or are they planning to 'clear the emperor's side'?" Xiong Tingbi asked rhetorically.
"If we really need military remonstrance and 'Qingjun side', we need more than just these soldiers. I think this is just a demonstration. The court should come up with decent countermeasures to appease them and let them wait on the spot and not enter Beijing..." Yuan Keli He said sternly: "As for sending troops to suppress it, Fei Bai, are you dreaming? Who will send troops? Who will send troops? You are going to lay people off, and you still want them to work for you?"
Xiong Tingbi was stunned, and then said: "Datong Town and Jingying,..."
Sun Chengzong, who had been silent for the whole time, shook his head, "Fei Bai, can the Beijing Camp move? If it moves, the whole world will be in an uproar. As for Datong Town, hum, Liu Dongyang's Shanxi Town passes through Lingqiu and Guangchang like a journey, and Datong Town is silent. If you don't even report it, what do you think Zhao Shujiao has in mind?"
In the past two years, a series of adjustments have been made in the border towns. Liu Dongyang returned to Shanxi, while Zhao led his teacher to Datong, and the vacated Liaodong Town was handed over to Mao Wenlong. This was also the result of the game between several parties. Liu Dongyang originally took office. Liaodong General Soldier, but many people in the DPRK had always been suspicious of Liu Dongyang. In the end, Liu Dongyang was more familiar with the Mongolian right wing, so Liu Dongyang was transferred back to Shanxi, but Zhao Lijiao, who had lost power, was transferred to Datong, but Feng Ziying also Mao Wenlong won Liaodong Town.
The background of the two rebel generals Liu Dongyang and Liu Baichuan became the focus of criticism from civil servants in the DPRK and China. Therefore, Feng Ziying originally wanted to adjust Liu Baichuan to Yulin Town as the commander-in-chief, but still did not gain support.
Now people in this town are also floating, but no matter what their thoughts are, this disarmament will directly hurt the interests of the military people, whether it is Zhao Lejiao, Chai Guozhu, who are not close to Feng Ziying, or He Renlong, Liu Dongyang and Mao Wenlong, who were closely related to Feng Ziying, were all firmly opposed to disarmament, and Feng Ziying's previous plan to conquer Mongolia and solve the northern border troubles in one fell swoop won the unanimous approval of all military men. In this case, who should give up? It would be difficult to gain support by detaching an army to suppress or conquer these small forces marching towards the capital.
After all, these small troops are only one or two thousand people in total, and the total number is only ten thousand people. For the Beijing camp led by Cao Wenzhao, which has more than fifty thousand people, as long as they don't want them to enter the city, they can only Wandering outside the city, I sighed while looking at the city.
But if Cao Wenzhao's capital camp has other thoughts, then what's the point of letting whoever you want to conquer it?
Faced with two deputies who were arguing with each other, Sun Chengzong also had a big headache. Now the news from Long Jinwei was that there were changes in several border towns. Of course, as Yuan Keli said, the size of the troops involved in these changes was not large. One or two thousand people, which adds up to only a few people, is a dangerous sign. The army is losing control. How should we deal with these troops that have moved abnormally? Order him to stop taking action? Will they listen?
While I was thinking about it, someone came in and announced, "The cabinet invites three adults to come over to discuss matters."
Sun Chengzong sighed. This kind of thing cannot be hidden from anyone. If you wait a little longer, it is estimated that the people in the entire capital city will know about it. How can such a big movement be covered up?
When Sun Chengzong and the others arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion, there was also a lot of chaos inside.
Cui Jingrong, Chai Ke and Xu Guangqi were all a little confused when faced with this situation.
No one has ever encountered anything like this.
In the past, mutinies in border towns were mainly caused by soldiers and middle- and low-level officers. Those as large-scale as the Ningxia rebellion were rare, and they were basically limited to one town. Like this time, seven or eight border towns mutinied and caused trouble at the same time. Moreover, it is unheard of to make a "large-scale" march into the capital to seek an explanation.
No one knew how to deal with it, especially after hearing that these "rebellious troops" who came to seek explanations were passing through prefectures and counties. It was as if they were in no one's land. No one cared about the prefectures and counties along the route, and the orders of the Ministry of War were ignored. .
Now there are those coming from Yuguan and Dagu in the east, and some coming from the canal, and coming from Shanxi in the west. In addition, Jizhen and Xuanfu are also ready to make a move. Cao Wenzhao in the capital camp also pretended to be sick, making him look like this The situation, where the situation will go, is really a bit confusing.
The problem is that when these border towns make such noises, how does the court respond?
Withdraw, appease? Or face it forcefully?
It seems that none of the coping strategies are that good.
If this is not done well, it will become a crisis for the collapse of the Zhou Dynasty.
For a while, everyone couldn't imagine how the warrior's anger would evolve to such an extent. It seemed that they had never considered such a situation happening before, and they didn't even take the warrior's attitude into consideration at all, but today it became an urgent matter. Disaster.
In addition to the arrival of three people from the Ministry of War, there were also the arrivals of Lian Guoshi, Han Xu, Sun Juxiang, Sun Dingxiang, Li Banghua, Zhu Guozhen and others. The entire Wenyuan Pavilion quickly turned into a vegetable market, full of people and endless noise, but for more than an hour In the past, no meaningful results were obtained.
The core question cannot be answered, or no one has come to a conclusion. First, the suspension of disarmament proposed by the warriors has been opposed by everyone, but the opposition is simple, so the march of the warriors' "rebellious troops" to Beijing will definitely not stop. step, how to deal with it?
The only one that can be used is the Beijing camp, but the current attitude of the Beijing camp is also very strange. It remains silent. Cao Wenzhao cannot afford to be ill. Everyone who goes to see him is blocked, which makes the civil servants restless.
Everyone subconsciously ignored that there was also the "ill" chief assistant Feng Ziying. No one wanted to "disturb" Feng Ziying who was "recuperating" at this time. They were more willing to use their own abilities to solve this problem.
Lian Guo Shi also "knowingly" did not mention Feng Ziying and kept a low-key silence.
No one asked, so he remained silent. When asked, he said that the Ministry of War must come up with a strategy to prevent the crisis from getting worse. In short, he dismissed it.
The quarrels and insults continued into the evening, and they reluctantly came to a conclusion, that is, they continued to send people to all sides to dissuade the "rebellion troops" in the border towns from stopping their advance. The DPRK also sent Yuan Keli to see Cao Wenzhao and asked him to produce Attitude comes.
"A bunch of idiots!" Even Lian Guoshi couldn't help but say a curse word when he walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion. After a long time of tossing, he came up with a result that did not require discussion at all, which was equivalent to a result that had no result.
If you can dissuade it, you have already dissuaded it. If you want to disarm, why should others stop?
Cao Wenzhao obviously doesn't want to get involved in the muddy waters, and has even been secretly communicating with him for a long time. It's unclear what the attitude of the Beijing camp will be by then.
Lian Guo Shi also asked Feng Ziying, but Feng Ziying's only answer was to suspend disarmament and send troops to Mongolia. However, this was a condition that the rest of the cabinet and most courtiers in the DPRK were unwilling to accept, so Feng Ziying could only continue to be "sick." .
Then let's continue. Lian Guoshi looked at the dark sky, shook his head, and walked into the darkness.
