"What are you waiting for? Send out immediately! Zhang Jin's standard guard only has 3,000 people. The Warriors Battalion and the Fourth Guard Battalion combined are twice as many as him. He can't sustain it for long. Now only your Fifth Army Battalion is the strongest in the capital city.

!" Xiao Ruxun roared at Ma Chengxun angrily: "What, at this time, you are still planning to fight at both ends? You don't understand the consequences?"

Ma Chengxun felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't argue with it. [.\nCOM Situ's updated chapters are the most complete and comprehensive, and the error-free content is repaired in the most timely manner. Due to caching reasons, browser access is recommended.\nCOM official website]

Either he should refuse from the beginning, or he should not look back at this moment. Although Xiao Ruxun is a villain who likes to follow others, his words are correct.

No matter what, at this time, there is nothing to say, whether it is a disaster or a blessing, it has to happen.

As the fifth military camp was dispatched to the streets, Xiao Ruxun issued an order not to leave the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, but to stay on standby inside the camp gate.

Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu were both angry, but Xiao Ruxun was the acting military governor. In theory, they must abide by the orders he issued unless they were overturned by orders from a higher level, such as the Ministry of War, otherwise they would be considered to have violated military law.

The law must be cut.

Of course, this is only theoretical. If the Shenshuying and Shenjiying Jiedu envoys are to be dealt with according to military law, even the Minister of War would not have such great power unless it was a war.

But what made it most difficult for them was that they had not received any instructions, either from the cabinet or the Ministry of War. This was what made them most at a loss.

As a warrior, the most fearful thing is this situation. No one gives an order, which means no one takes responsibility. This is in the capital, and any rash action will be regarded as rebellion, which means that the family will be confiscated and the clan will be destroyed, and psychologically

Basically, they also hope to have a superior they recognize or trust to give them orders, rather than a character like Xiao Ruxun who is obviously incompatible with them.

Feng Ziying had written to them in the early stage, but in the letter she only mentioned that she should be wary of Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun, but vigilance was vigilance, that is, not letting Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun interfere with the command of their Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp.

, but now Xiao Ruxun just asked them to keep quiet in the camp, and although Ma Chengxun's fifth army camp came out of the camp, they did not launch an attack on Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp, but according to their judgment, they were probably going to attack them.

The Fourth Guards Camp and the Warriors Camp take action.

The battle between the Fourth Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion and the Banner Guards was due to the competition for the right to guard the palace. This makes sense. Ma Chengxun's Fifth Army Battalion has openly taken sides, but what about them?

There are more than 30,000 people in the Fifth Military Camp, while the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp combined only have more than 20,000 people. There is an inherent gap in military strength, and the combat effectiveness of the Five Military Camps is no less than that of Shenshu at the same size.

Set up the Shenji Camp. Once a fight breaks out, not to mention the outcome is uncertain, but the entire capital city will probably be destroyed.

Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp were not too far apart, so Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu got in touch immediately.

Both of them were from the Northwest Army. One was from Guyuan Town and was promoted by Feng Ziying when he was the governor of Shaanxi. The other was a rebel general in Ningxia and later became Feng Tang's direct confidant.

Although each of them started their career following Feng Tang and Feng Keng, as Feng Tang began to retire, all the connections and subordinates were handed over to Feng Ziying, such as Liu Dongyang, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Liu Baichuan, etc.

People like Tu Wenxiu and Xu Chao have completed the role change and become Feng Ziying's direct descendants.

At this time, they couldn't wait any longer. The situation was becoming increasingly clear. Feng Ziying also vaguely mentioned it to them in his letter, so after a little discussion, the two armies were dispatched at the same time, each seizing key areas around the palace, declaring martial law, and preventing

The Fifth Army Battalion directly defeated the Fourth Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion.

At the same time, Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu also sent people to contact He Zhisheng and Xu Chao, and began to coordinate and prepare for joint operations.

But Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu actually have no confidence in their hearts. Before a clear leader comes out to cheer them up, they can only make their own decisions and take actions without a clue. What they long for most at this time is the cabinet or the government.

The Ministry of War directly ordered how to take action, so that they would have a clear idea in mind.

Deep down in their hearts, they also blame Feng Ziying for not returning to the capital. How can they deal with this situation when they are far away in Liaodong? Feng Tang has now retired and his influence has been greatly reduced. Without authorization from the Ministry of War, it is difficult for people to accept it.

.

Sun Chengzong never expected that he would be put under house arrest by Long Jinwei's people. Also "arrested" was his right servant Xiong Tingbi.

Yuan Keli, the left minister, went to Shanshan for inspection and has not yet returned to Beijing.

The entire Ministry of War is now in chaos. When Sun Chengzong arrived at the Ministry of War office, he was a little dissatisfied after learning the cabinet's opinions on preparing for a showdown. He always felt that this was a bit hasty, or that the cabinet people thought of the problem too simply.

.

They thought that with such persecution, Emperor Wan Tong would obediently approve the use of seals, and Li Sancai and Tang Binyin would cease their activities. However, they did not expect that you were trying to dig into the roots of Emperor Wan Tong, which is equivalent to killing him, and similarly

For Li Sancai, this also cut off his hope of further advancement in his official career. In the future, he will not be able to write a single stroke of being the chief minister in his family tree. Why should he not work hard?

As expected, the evil consequences were immediately apparent. Long Jinwei and the Banner Guards immediately blocked the Yongfang area of ​​​​Dashi. Except for the three Fasi Division, which was not in this area, the other six departments were all in this area, almost "catching them all in one fell swoop."

Only then did Sun Chengzong realize how weak he, the Minister of War, had control over the Shangsanqinjun. After all, he was still a little less politically sensitive.

He can't blame himself for being too contemptuous of the Shangsanqinjun. In fact, the Shangsanqinjun combined only has more than 10,000 troops, and they are only responsible for the task of palace confinement. It is not worth mentioning. Even the Beijing camp still has more than 50,000.

People are worthy of attention, but it really doesn't make much sense to join the Third Guards Army, unless something like this happens today.

But something unexpected happened. Banner Guard and Long Jinwei actually joined forces to stage a "coup."

It cannot be regarded as a mutiny, but can only be regarded as a coup, because they launched this "rebellion" under the orders of the emperor and Li Sancai, the cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of War.

According to common sense, if something like this happens, the Beijing camp should intervene decisively, but the acting Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp is a close confidant of Li Sancai. The main force of the Beijing camp, the fifth military camp Ma Chengxun, has also long ago taken refuge with Li Sancai, or in other words

They have all pledged their allegiance to Emperor Wan Tong. Under this situation, although Shenshuying and Shenjiying are still obeying the orders of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong does not think that Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu dare to fight against the enemy when they are at a disadvantage.

, and without instructions from the cabinet and the Ministry of War, they rebelled against the orders of their nominal superior, Xiao Ruxun, and ignored Ma Chengxun's pressure.

It may only be temporary. Once Li Sancai forms a cabinet, I am afraid that he, the Minister of War, will be replaced immediately. Maybe Xiong Tingbi, as a member of the Huguang scholars and not involved in these things, can still end up well.

"Fei Bai, what should we do now?" Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi have a normal relationship. Although they have worked together for more than two years, they do not have much personal friendship. In comparison, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong are closer. It is a pity that Yuan Keli went to Shanshan and Shaanxi.

.

Xiong Tingbi stood in front of the window, looking at Long Jinwei Fanzi and the flag-bearer guards outside the window holding their swords and swords, and they also had bitter expressions on their faces.

"I don't know what to do? How did Qi Xiang and the others do things? Since we are going to have a showdown with the emperor, the palace ban must be kept securely. The flag-bearer guard was not able to hold it. How did Ziying make the arrangements in the first place?

About the personnel of the Third Family Army? How could someone with ulterior motives like Zhang Jin become the commander of the Standard Guards?"

Xiong Tingbi's complaint also made Sun Chengzong feel a little ashamed, "I really can't blame Ziying entirely for this. When Duke Huaichang, Ziying and I were studying military personnel, in order to repay Lu Song for his support, Zhang Jin came to work with the Ministry of War

There was a tacit understanding of cooperation here, including the suppression of chaos in Jiangnan, so Zhang Jin was appointed as the commander of the flag guard. Later, when Ziying left Beijing for Liaodong, she also told me that she must manage the garrison in Beijing, but I didn't pay much attention.

I feel that the Shangsanqin Army only has over 10,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is very average, far inferior to the frontier army. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen..."

"Then Zhang Jin's problem was not noticed at all?" Xiong Tingbi was still dissatisfied. "If it is the candidate recommended by Ziying, it is his responsibility! For such an important position, a defector was selected. It is incredible."

"As far as I know, Zhang Jin and Ziying have a relatively close relationship, but this rebellion is probably closely related to Lu Song. Zhang Jin has been Lu Song's subordinate for many years, and the main mid-level and low-level military attachés of the Flag Guard are also from Long Jinwei.

I'm afraid Zhang Jin couldn't object in that situation..."

Sun Chengzong still explained for Feng Ziying, "Ziying reminded me about Long Jinwei before. I only thought about Long Jinwei, but I didn't expect that there was such a joint. I was careless..."

"We are all careless, and the ministers in the cabinet are too trusting. We really think that everyone is a humble gentleman. If we agree in person, we must obey the overall situation even if we don't agree with it. Haha, but Li Sancai didn't follow the agreed rules.

Moreover, Tang Binyin and Zhang Jingqiu are connected to the emperor, so it’s no wonder that he is greedy for profit, so I want to see what kind of ending Li San will end up with." Xiong Tingbi said angrily.

Sun Chengzong glanced at Xiong Tingbi and said in a neutral tone: "What if Dongxian (Guan Yingzhen), Zishu (Chai Ke), and Xiuling (Yang He) finally accepted the reality?"

Xiong Tingbi was stunned. This result of Sun Chengzong was not impossible. If Guan Yingzhen continued to serve as a cabinet minister, Chai Ke, Yang He, Yang Lian and other Huguang scholars would no longer object, and Li Sancai successfully formed the cabinet, then he would finally admit it.

What if you don’t recognize and accept reality?

Under the harsh reality, do we still need the dignity of scholars?
