Niu Jizong climbed up to the Yanqing city wall a little anxiously and looked to the east.
Victory or defeat depends on today. It can be said that after so many years of hard work, it all depends on this one round.
He had a general understanding of Prince Yoshitaka's layout, but he didn't pay too much attention to the details.
This important matter was a matter of life and death for himself and Prince Teng, as well as for Prince Yitada. No one dared to be careless. He also believed that with Prince Yitada's character, he would make sure nothing went wrong.
So you only need to do what you should do well.
Just like Wang Ziteng absolutely believed in everything he and Prince Yi Zhong did, he only needed to do what he should do in Huguang.
But no matter what the result is, today the army must break through the pass and march eastward, but he hopes to get more reliable news...
Because once they advance eastward, the entire army may have to face the entire imperial army.
That's fine, but more importantly, they may have to face a difficult reality, that is, facing the emperor's decree.
The Xuanfu Army was a direct lineage that had been managed painstakingly from Prince Teng to when he was the governor of Xuanda. They were loyal and he was very sure of his control.
But this is when facing other people. What if we are facing an order from the imperial court and an edict from the emperor?
Niu Jizong was also not absolutely sure.
It would be best if this situation could be avoided as much as possible. Even without the emperor's decree, one could still question the Ministry of War's decree and compete for the honor of justice.
Sometimes I feel that this great righteousness is meaningless, but sometimes this great righteousness is more important than anything else.
So he would rather wait just to have peace of mind.
The sound of rapid footsteps was heard on the horse road. Niu Jizong turned around suddenly, and the soldiers ran up panting and holding the carrier pigeon: "Sir, urgent message!"
Niu Jizong calmed down and nodded. The soldiers quickly took out the tied bamboo tube from the feet of the homing pigeon, then took out the note from the bamboo tube and handed it to Niu Jizong.
Niu Jizong took the note and unfolded it.
There were only a few words on the note, but they were concise and to the point.
Niu Jizong trembled slightly at first, then frowned, and then relaxed again. He just thought about it for a moment, and then he said with determination on his face, "Okay, beat the drums and summon the generals immediately!"
Half an hour later, the Xuanfu horse and infantry army, which had been prepared for a long time, surged out from the Yanqing Acropolis gate like a flood, and quickly divided into three groups and rushed down in three directions: north, east, and south.
Niu Jizong sat upright on his horse and looked at the three groups of people parting ways outside the city gate, his heart racing.
A group of troops marched south along Hekou, Baiyangkou and Zhenbiancheng and controlled this area. The Xuanfu army of Yanqing Right Guard and Huailai Guard could march eastward along the Sanggan River without any bloodshed and control the entire western defense of the capital city.
An army that goes north to control the Bohai Institute and Huairou County will be invincible if it controls this place. Even the army along the border wall in Ji Town has to consider whether it will be blocked if it wants to go south.
.
Naturally, the main force marched all the way east, to Longhutai, Changping, Gonghua City, then Qinghedian and Zhengcunba, and finally Tongzhou, completely controlling the defense of the entire capital city from east to west.
As for the south, Niu Jizong didn't care much. There was no decent garrison there. The Xingzhou Middle Guards in Liangxiang and the Zhuolu Three Guards in Zhuozhou were not worth mentioning and had long been reduced to garrison guards.
Niu Jizong did not want a big battle around the capital and Jizhen. He only needed to make a sudden attack and control the defense of the capital with lightning speed. The rest was just a bargain between Prince Yi Zhong, Emperor Yonglong and a few sons.
Oh, no, Zhang Chi, Zhang Qi, and Zhang Ji are not qualified to bargain. Perhaps the only person who is qualified to bargain is Emperor Yonglong, who is still unconscious.
Niu Jizong didn't know if he could be regarded as Shi Heng in the Qian Ming Dynasty's coup. Maybe Wang Ziteng could be regarded as Zhang Qian. He also didn't know who would be Xu Youzhen and Cao Jixiang, but he was sure that his side would be the winner.
As long as the situation is under control, it doesn't matter whether Emperor Yonglong wakes up or not.
Planning depends on man, success depends on heaven, victory or defeat depends on one move!
*******
When Feng Ziying noticed something unusual, it was already dark.
With the martial law in the Hunting Garden Palace, the entire palace was in panic. Even he was blocked in the courtyard by the sudden martial law.
Of course, he was not qualified to go hunting with him, so he simply slept peacefully in the afternoon. Who would have thought that when he woke up, all the palaces would be under martial law, and the entire hunting palace would be completely blocked, and no one would be able to enter or exit the palace.
The courtyard, not to mention the hunting garden and the palace itself.
His attempts to let people go out to inquire were flatly rejected, and soldiers from the Fourth Guards Battalion took over the area under martial law.
The atmosphere was very tense, which surprised Feng Ziying.
Even if there is a big hunt today and a heirloom is decided, it will not cause such a turmoil. The emperor has decreed it. Are the other princes and concubines not ready to accept it? Do they really want to be sent to confinement immediately and not be able to come out for life?
No one is so unwise, right?
"What's going on?" Although Feng Ziying realized that something might have happened, she still couldn't imagine what happened. Looking at the appearance of the soldiers in the Fourth Guard Camp, it was obvious that they didn't know what happened.
whats the matter.
Wu Yaoqing and several accompanying guards were also at a loss.
Wu Yaoqing hesitantly stuck his head out and looked around, but he couldn't see any clues.
Although there are soldiers from the Four Guards Camp in front of each small courtyard to maintain martial law, almost all of the people in each small courtyard in this palace are clan members and officials who are waiting for an interview or have not left after the interview.
not bad.
People like Feng Ziying are probably at the lowest level. They should be third-grade ministers. But officials like him, a fourth-grade official and a local official, are really unique.
"Sir, why don't you arrange for someone to go out and take a look?" Wu Yaoqing hesitated for a moment. Although the few people who followed him did not dare to say that they could fly over eaves and walls, they could still climb out of the back wall of the yard and inquire about the situation.
, of course there is definitely a risk, the surrounding area is almost full of Shangsanqinjun, if there is any special situation, once discovered, I am afraid it will cause endless trouble.
"No." Feng Ziying categorically shook her head. At this time, the situation is unclear and she must not give anyone a clue. Especially when Feng Ziying has a bad premonition. If she is not careful, she will arouse suspicion. Feng Ziying does not want to be tainted with anything at this time.
Suspect.
"Outside is the Fourth Guard Camp, which I'm not very familiar with." But waiting like this is not an option. Closing your eyes and listening is the most dangerous thing. Feng Ziying said in a deep voice: "I'm not familiar with Commander Du Keli. I only have a one-time acquaintance. I don't know.
Will you buy my face, but you have to give it a try. If you can't get out, at least ask what happened..."
Feng Ziying pushed open the courtyard door. A group of soldiers guarding the courtyard door immediately looked over with vigilant eyes. A sergeant who looked like a small flag came over: "Master Feng, please forgive me. We also received the order. We did not mean to embarrass anyone."
, please come into the hospital."
"Oh, do you recognize me?" A smile appeared at the corner of Feng Ziying's mouth, which made it much easier to handle. "I wonder if you can inform me of your commander. I don't mean to embarrass you, but it is difficult in this situation.
If this continues, please convey my words to me, what exactly happened, or may I meet your commander?"
"We don't know exactly what happened. We only know that it was a sudden order. Not only our Fourth Guard Camp, but also the entire Shangsanqinjun and Shenshu Camp have been placed under martial law. Prince Zhonghui is now in command...
…”
It can be seen that this little flag is still very spiritual and does not cover up much. "As for your meeting with the commander, I'm afraid it won't be easy, but I can report it."
"Then I'll bother you." Feng Ziying nodded with a smile, then turned around: "I'm here waiting for your good news."
Back in the hospital, Feng Ziying's face was frighteningly gloomy.
He can be sure that this is by no means as simple as a bullshit Dashou Reserve. Something happened, and something happened to Emperor Yonglong himself. Otherwise, how could the Sanqin Army and Shenshu Camp be under martial law at the same time?
King Zhonghui is now in charge of the palace. What’s the point of his being there?
How long had he been the military commander of the Beijing camp and the general of the fifth military camp?
Who will listen to him at this time?
I am afraid that I am not as good as myself. At least there is He Huchen in the Fifth Army Camp and Yang Zhaoji in the Shenji Camp who can listen to me.
What happened?
Assassinated?
Suddenly seriously ill?
Unconscious?
Even imprisoned?
The last one is obviously impossible. No one can put Emperor Yonglong under house arrest yet. Even the Supreme Emperor and Prince Yi Zhong can't do it. After all, he has been the emperor for ten years. He still has this little control. Emperor Yonglong still has the ability to control the emperor.
firmly grasped.
If Emperor Yonglong had not worried too much and it turned out that the Supreme Emperor had been in power for too long and was too powerful, the Beijing camp should have been replaced by Emperor Yonglong's own people long ago. It is indeed too late to take action now.
"Yao Qing, we can't wait like this, I'm afraid we have to take a risk." Taking a deep breath, Feng Ziying immediately overturned her original consideration. At this time, she could only take a risk, "Arrange someone to take a look at the backyard wall.
, can I leave from the back?"
Wu Yaoqing nodded, waved his hand, and the two guards quickly climbed up the backyard wall, looked around, and quickly came down, "Sir, there are soldiers on duty at the entrance of the corridor behind, but we can climb over from the other yard in front to the opposite side. Then
There seems to be no one living there, it’s all vacant, and there’s probably no one on duty behind the yard over there.”
There are two rows of courtyards back to back, but the front row of courtyards is uninhabited because it is under renovation. If you live in the southern courtyard, you can indeed avoid the guards of the Fourth Guards Battalion if you turn over there.
"It's just that I'm afraid the entire outside world has given up smoking. Even if we leave this area, it will still be difficult to move forward." Wu Yaoqing said hesitantly.
"Take my post and this seal, go directly to the gate of the inner palace, where you can directly see King Zhonghui." Feng Ziying took the seal from the bag and handed it to the other party, "Go directly to King Zhonghui, he recognizes me.
Personal seal, ask him to send someone to take me out immediately, I want to know all the situation immediately." Provide you with the fastest updates and free reading.
