Chapter 724 of Gui Zi Scroll: War and rebellion

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 The battles between the Four Guards Battalion, the Warrior Battalion and the Banner Guards outside the palace city and with the ministries of the Yongfang tribes in Dashi started and stopped. Since this area was full of densely built mansions and public houses, neither side dared to attack easily.

Let's go to war, and the Shangsanqin Army does not have heavy weapons such as artillery. The most powerful ones are heavy firecrackers, which are limited in number, so the fierce battle in this area is actually a stalemate.

The Four Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion could not defeat the banner guard's defense line in one fell swoop, but they also completed the siege of the palace gates, forcing Emperor Wan Tong to be unable to step out of the palace city.

However, all the ministries in Yongfang, including Wenyuan Pavilion, were still controlled by the Banner Guards at that time. The Siwei Battalion and the Warrior Battalion were worried that the attack might cause the cabinet princes and ministries officials trapped in them to be attacked.

And he was killed, so some people were restrained by the fear of throwing rats away.

Just when the battle between Miyagi City and Dashi Yongfang was raging, the Fifth Army Camp, Shenshu Camp, and Shenji Camp also began a small-scale battle.

From the bottom of his heart, Ma Chengxun was not willing to fight with the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp. They were originally from the same roots, so why rush? They were originally among the three major battalions of the Beijing Camp, but now they are fighting in the same room, but he also

Understand that Shenshu Camp and Shenji Camp cannot be on their side. Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu are both generals from the northwest, and they are also from the Northwest Army series. They are either Guyuan Army or Ganning Army. They are similar to him.

The military commanders born in Datong are incompatible with each other, so it is impossible to convince or subdue the opponent. The only way is to fight.

But starting a war in this capital city is not a trivial matter. Once real fire breaks out, the soldiers will ignore it. Moreover, once the war reaches a fever pitch, the soldiers' wild animal nature may be released, and then the entire capital city may be destroyed.

It has become a hunting ground for programming beasts, which is something both sides are afraid of.

After all, this is not a war to destroy the country, but an internal struggle for power. Whether it is civil servants like Li Sancai or military generals on both sides, they all understand the difference here.

Of course, it may really evolve to the end and the situation becomes uncontrollable and enters a life-and-death stage. Then there will be no need to worry about so much. Even the border troops will have to be introduced into the city for a fight, let alone other things?

As soon as Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen received Ma Chengxun's order, they knew they were faced with a decision.

As the most capable personnel placed by Feng Ziying in the Fifth Army Camp, they did not show any abnormalities after Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun took charge of the Beijing Camp and the Fifth Army Camp. Ma Chengxun also got to know the two of them and knew them.

He was originally from the old Jingying Camp. After the First Battle of the Santun Camp, he was lucky enough to perform well, so he was selected to prepare for the establishment of the New Jingying Camp, and then he slowly got up.

From that time on, Feng Ziying also intentionally distanced herself from the two of them. Their promotions were all promoted through King Zhonghui, who was the governor of the Beijing Camp at the time, so no one knew their true tendencies.

"It seems that Ma Chengxun is going to take action against the Four Guards Camp and the Warrior Camp, open the palace ban, and support the emperor." Yang Zhaoji sighed and looked at He Huchen: "What should we do? It would be great if Mr. Feng is here, and everyone has a backbone.

, now we have no leader, and Yongfang is surrounded by flag-bearing guards. I didn’t expect that I misjudged Zhang Jin, and ended up like this. The situation is hard to predict. "

"I guess that although Mr. Feng did not expect Zhang Jin's betrayal, he should have expected that the situation in Beijing would become complicated. Maybe he would return to Beijing, or even returned to Beijing." He Huchen said hesitantly.

"Oh?" Yang Zhaoji's eyes lit up, "Where did you get the news?"

He Huchen shook his head, "I just guessed that there was something going on with Lieutenant Long, and Mr. Feng must have channels in Beijing. Under such circumstances, he wrote to us again and again. He must have realized the seriousness of the situation, but after all, he was under the authority of the imperial court.

He was ordered to guard Liaodong. If he wants to easily leave Liao and return to the capital, he must find a suitable reason. With his wisdom, he must be able to find a way, but I am afraid that he will not be able to catch up in time."

Seeing what He Huchen said, Yang Zhaoji was a little disappointed: "You just guessed?"

"Taichu, you should understand Mr. Feng's style, which is thorough and meticulous. I don't believe he will be absent from such matters." He Huchen also had great confidence in Feng Ziying.

He Huchen's words also aroused Yang Zhaoji's confidence. Over the years, Feng Ziying had never failed in anything no matter what she did. She always anticipated the enemy's opportunities. Now such a big change has occurred in Beijing.

, there is no reason for him to still wait and see in Liaodong.

"Then let's..." Yang Zhaoji looked at He Huchen.

He Huchen shrugged calmly: "Although Mr. Ma is also good, he can't compare with Mr. Feng. We were promoted by Mr. Feng. Now, although Mr. Feng is not here, we still have to listen to Mr. Feng. According to the rules

Master Feng does what he wants, and besides us, I think Xu Guoye will do the same."

Xu Guoye is the nephew of Xu Chao. He was brought to the Fifth Army Camp by Tu Wenxiu. When Tu Wenxiu went to Shenji Camp, he left his unit at the Fifth Army Camp, but Ma Chengxun would definitely not trust Xu Guoye's unit.

, other means will definitely be adopted to deal with or restrict Xu Guoye.

And now that He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji had made up their minds to go against Ma Chengxun, they naturally wanted to bring Xu Guoye over to join forces.

"Without further delay, Huchen, since we have made up our mind, we must take action immediately." Yang Zhaoji pondered for a moment, "I am thinking, we don't ask for anything else. As you said, before Mr. Feng arrives,

, as long as we can hold the situation together, it is best to form a stalemate. Even if it is a victory, I originally thought it would be best to win the Yongfang side of Dashi, but now it seems that it is too difficult, and there are too many unpredictable factors, which is confusing.

Chengxun must be staring over there too, now we have to hold him back..."

He Huchen agreed with Yang Zhaoji's opinion.

Now we have no leader, and those who can take charge are trapped in the Yongfang area of ​​Dashi. It is too difficult to rescue them. If we are not careful, we may cause huge casualties to these people, so it is good to maintain the situation in order to delay

To be changed.

Anyway, everyone is in a stalemate now, and no one can gain the upper hand. The premise is that people from the Wan Tong Emperor's side cannot come forward to prove their righteousness. In this regard, the Siwei Camp and the Warrior Camp arrived quickly and took the flag bearer.

The guards and palace people were all blocked inside.

The sudden betrayal of Yang Zhaoji, He Huchen and Xu Guoye also caught Ma Chengxun off guard.

He had already expected Xu Guoye, and his relationship with Xu Chao made Ma Chengxun always on guard against him. But who would have thought that Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen suddenly broke out and attacked from the flanks. Although it was only a brief exchange of fire, Xu Guoye's department and the two of them suddenly

Even for the front line, the three troops combined to have more than 16,000 people, which immediately accounted for nearly 30% of the strength of the entire fifth military camp, which immediately made Ma Chengxun a little busy.

When Yang Zhaoji and others launched a sudden attack, they did not forget to contact Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu immediately, which also made Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu breathe a big sigh of relief. Adding up several units, the number of troops was close to 40,000, and Ma Chengxun controlled the fifth army camp.

’s military strength is already comparable to, or even slightly exceeded.

It's just that these troops are fighting independently, and it is difficult to form a rope. However, for them, there is no hope of annihilating Ma Chengxun's fifth military camp, and this kind of battle in the capital city, once the fighting begins,

, it is a full-scale hand-to-hand street battle. When neither side has overwhelming superior strength, it will be difficult for anyone to overwhelm the other side in a short period of time.

Yang Zhaoji and others also considered delaying changes, and to do this, they must first control important buildings and parts around the palace, such as Guanglu Temple and Chonghua Palace outside Donghua Gate, and outside Meridian Gate.

Sheji Altar and Ancestral Temple, as well as the Imperial Prison outside Xihua Gate, and Long Live Mountain outside Xuanwu Gate.

Either the Flag Guards have already controlled these areas in advance and are fiercely competing with the Fourth Guards Camp and the Warriors Camp, or the Ma Chengxun Department of the Fifth Army Camp is also seizing them, or they are still fighting fiercely with the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp. In short, there are few

Everyone joined the fight, and it was a very enjoyable fight with me and you among us.

No one can control this chaotic situation right now, whether it is Emperor Wan Tong who is sealed in the palace, the ministers who are imprisoned in Wenyuan Pavilion, or Li Sancai and Tang Binyin who are running around.

Well, facing the battlefield with stray bullets flying everywhere, the flames blazing into the sky, and the corpses of soldiers being carried down constantly, we were helpless and didn't know how to reverse this messed-up situation.

It can be said that no one has the ability to bring the entire battlefield to a halt with a single call, but this is in line with the wishes of Yang Zhaoji and Ma Jinbao, who want to drag out the situation, mess it up, and let the people who have already received the decree from Emperor Wan Tong

Li Sancai, who had achieved his goal, could not really act.

Nowadays, officials from various ministries in the DPRK are either imprisoned in Qibu Gong Mansion, or they are hiding at home and dare not go out. Some have even sneaked out of the city in advance. However, with the few manpower of Shuntian Mansion, they do not dare to go out at all.

Going to these Beijing camp rebels is just to deliver food.

Although Li Sancai received Emperor Wan Tong's decree to form a cabinet, he still lacked confidence because there was no recommendation vote for the current cabinet. Secondly, this was the decree, which had always been despised by civil servants and officials for accepting it without permission.

The purpose will be ridiculed and resisted by the scholars. More importantly, he has no way to declare it to others. Who will recognize the legitimacy, compliance and rationality of him as the chief minister and his cabinet?

The sound of gunfire continued to be heard from all around the palace city, and the entire capital city was in complete chaos, including the large and small Shiyongfang, Nanxunfang, Baodafang, Jiqingfang, Anfufang and many other places where wealthy families lived.

Everyone in the area is afraid that these guys who don't know which side is the "official army and the rebel army" will turn into a defeated army and then evolve into a bandit army. Then all the savings of three generations will really be destroyed.
