Chapter 299: Recruit the flying talisman and march to Beijing
That night, under Jia Yun's urgent summons, some military generals from Chang'an camp gathered in the lobby of Chang'an Xie camp, including deputy general Di Changping, deputy general Fang Degong, deputy general He He, staff general Lu Qi, staff general Cao Wu,
The participating generals were Tang Daqian, Du Si Qi Zhao, and Chang'an Firearms Factory's Chief Craftsman Xin Yong.
There were other generals, but Jia Yun did not summon them this time because he was worried that some of them would be against him.
Jia Yun walked into the lobby, sat on the throne, and said to everyone with a solemn expression: "Just now, I received the news that following the assassination of the emperor three days ago, the emperor also passed away this afternoon!"
Everyone at the scene knew that Emperor Tianzhi was assassinated and died, and the news spread throughout Chang'an Mansion. However, no one at the scene knew about the death of the Supreme Emperor today.
Therefore, Jia Yun's words were like a thunderous explosion, and everyone at the scene was stunned...
"Your Majesty, this...is this true?" Fang Deqiu asked first.
Jia Yun said seriously: "How could I lie about such a big matter? If I lied, wouldn't it be disrespectful to the emperor's grandfather?"
Jia Yun continued to say seriously: "My lords, as far as I know, the assassination of my father is probably related to the Jing family where Fuyuan General Jing Zhanrong lives, which means that the Jing family will probably rebel in the west!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderous explosion, and everyone at the scene was stunned again...
"Your Majesty, the emperor's assassination is actually related to the Jing family?" Di Changping asked.
Jia Yun nodded, and immediately told him what he knew frankly, including that the assassins were Tang Yi and Meng Jing, both of whom came from Jing's martial arts school. Jing Maochun, Jing Zhanyao and other Jing family members almost all escaped.
Master Song and others from Jing's Martial Arts School also escaped, Jinyi Mansion was under guard, Queen Yin and the Yin family were under guard, Xia Hao was under guard...
Jia Yun continued: "This means that the Qing Dynasty is now in a very dangerous situation. The Shui family in the north has not yet suppressed the rebellion. The Jing family will probably raise troops to rebel in the west. The death of the father and the emperor's grandfather has led to the current situation of the Qing Dynasty.
Chaos, turmoil in Shenjing, and many princes are already vying for the throne!"
"If an incompetent prince takes away the throne, the Qing Dynasty may fall. Your lords and your families will also be in danger. Even if the Qing Dynasty does not fall, the prince who takes the throne may die because your lords are
This king’s subordinates are harmful to all of you!”
Having said this, Jia Yun was silent for a while, allowing everyone present to meditate in silence for a while.
Immediately, Jia Yun stood up, and everyone at the scene stood up one after another.
Jia Yun, who was standing, clasped her fists at the people standing and said in a sonorous voice: "I will ask you tonight to lead the army with me to the capital to defend the sacred capital and maintain the imperial court! I promise you that,
The chance of success in this matter is very high. If it succeeds, all of you will be my loyal heroes and you will be heavily rewarded!"
For everyone at the scene, this passage was obviously very shocking. This was about to raise an army to seize the throne!
Naturally, Jia Yun couldn't directly say that he wanted to raise troops to seize the throne. This matter required a high-sounding reason, but how could everyone at the scene not hear that he wanted to raise troops to seize the throne?
Almost no one at the scene was surprised this time, because since they learned about the death of Emperor Tianzhi, they all speculated that Jia Yun would probably seize the throne. Once Jia Yun seizes the throne, he will inevitably need to raise troops and lead the Chang'an camp to Beijing.
, they speculated even more after they learned that the Supreme Emperor had also passed away.
Jia Yun continued to clasp her fists and continued to speak sonorously: "My lords present, if anyone is unwilling to follow me, I would like to propose that I let him stay in Chang'an to avoid this matter. Once he is willing to follow me,
From now on, you must assist me wholeheartedly. If you rebel midway, you will be killed without mercy!"
After saying that, Jia Yun was silent for a while again. In the silence, he observed everyone present one by one with sharp eyes.
Immediately, Jia Yun took the lead and asked Cao Wu in a deep voice: "Master Cao, are you willing to follow me?"
Cao Wu clasped his fists decisively and said: "I am willing!"
Jia Yun asked Tang Daqian in a deep voice: "Master Tang, are you willing to follow me?"
Tang Daqian also clasped his fists decisively and said: "I am willing!"
Jia Yun asked Di Changping in a deep voice: "Master Di, are you willing to follow me?"
Di Changping paused and then clasped his fists: "I'm willing to do it!"
Jia Yun then asked Fang Degong, He He, Lu Qi, Qi Zhao and Xin Yong one by one.
The result was great, everyone was willing, without exception!
Jia Yun knew that even though everyone said they were willing, some of them must be unwilling in their hearts... But Jia Yun had her own way around this!
In fact, there are only two people who are unwilling, one is Fang Degong and the other is Lu Qi. These two people are mainly afraid of failure, rather than being against Jia Yun.
Immediately, Jia Yun made arrangements for Chang'an's camp to enter Beijing.
After the arrangements were made, Jia Yun wrote six documents in her own hand, addressed to Wei Kun, the governor of Zhili, Zhan Chang, the military envoy of Inner Mongolia, Qi Kang'an, the commander-in-chief, Xu Pingzhi, the commander-in-chief, Wu Zhaoxiang, the commander-in-chief, and Tang Anping, the wing commander of the outer firearms battalion.
He is recruiting the Flying Talisman!
Jia Yun wrote down what he just said in six documents.
Jia Yun requested that Wei Kun, the governor of Zhili, sit in Shanhaiguan City.
Jia Yun requested that Commander-in-Chief Qi Kang'an, Commander-in-Chief Xu Pingzhi, and Commander-in-Chief Wu Zhaoxiang lead their respective armies to suspend the attack on Shengjing City and defend the city instead of attacking it.
Jia Yun requested that Zhan Chang, the military governor of Inner Mongolia, and Tang Anping, the wing commander of the Outer Firearms Battalion, lead their respective armies to come to Beijing immediately to assist him.
In Jia Yun's opinion, there is a high chance that Zhan Chang and Tang Anping would be willing to lead their troops to Beijing to help him seize the throne.
However, the key to raising troops to seize the throne this time is that Jia Yun must quickly control the sacred city!
After finishing writing the six documents, Jia Yun asked some of her confidants and close officers and soldiers to deliver them quickly...
…
…
In the middle of the night, the night was dark.
At this time, the Chang'an Xie Camp was brightly lit, and more than 30,000 Chang'an Camp troops gathered here, with a sea of people and horses. Jia Yun stood in front of the army wearing a general's armor.
Although Jia Yun had previously been ordered to withdraw from the war against the Qing Dynasty, and Xia Yi became the new general king as Pingbei general, Jia Yun is still the general king now because Emperor Tianzhi has not yet deposed his conquest.
General position at Peking University.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Jia Yun, wearing the general's armor, immediately delivered a speech. This speech was not only enough to mobilize the morale of the army, but also very exciting. The main content of the speech was what he had said before.
As the generals said, he will lead Chang'an to enter the capital to defend the sacred capital and maintain the imperial court!
After Jia Yun finished her speech, she specially asked Di Changping, Fang Degong, He He, Lu Qi, Cao Wu, Tang Daqian, and Qi Zhao to say a few words respectively. The content of what they said was roughly the same, which was to express their loyalty to Jia Yun.
Defend Shenjing and maintain Chao Gang’s determination!
Haha, with this kind of public statement, even if someone doesn't want to, they must put their whole heart and soul into it. Otherwise, if Jia Yun fails, this person will also suffer.
After the southern and northern wars, Jia Yun now has great prestige in Chang'an Camp. Most of the officers and soldiers in Chang'an Camp respect him and are loyal to him. This is no exaggeration. In addition, Jia Yun's current fierce battle
Speech, and all the generals publicly declared that they would follow them to the death...
It can be said that for Jia Yun, the current Chang'an camp army with more than 30,000 troops has strong military morale!
After the mobilization, Jia Yun, Di Changping, Fang Degong, and Cao Wu led 10,000 cavalry and took the lead in rushing towards Shenjing City. He He, Lu Qi, Tang Daqian, and Qi Zhao led another 20,000 Chang'an camp troops, and followed closely.
Followed by.
The matter of entering Beijing was urgent and Jia Yun needed to lead her army to the sacred city quickly.
Because there will inevitably be spies from other forces in the Chang'an camp, Jia Yun's rebellion will inevitably be quickly reported to the sacred city. Although Jia Yun did not tell anyone that Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai would assist him, if he goes to Beijing
If it's too late, both Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai may be in danger...
Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai must not be in danger, cannot be dismissed from their posts before Jia Yun leads Chang'an camp to Beijing, and cannot be imprisoned...
Chang'an camp is only one or two hundred miles away from the sacred city. Jia Yun leads 10,000 cavalry and gallops so fast that they can arrive in an hour!
In addition, under Jia Yun's arrangement, Xin Yong was responsible for bringing all the craftsmen, equipment, and materials from Chang'an Firearms Factory to Shenjing City!
Things in the world are unpredictable, and plans cannot keep up with changes.
Originally, Jia Yun planned to have the Chang'an Firearms Factory produce a batch of bayonet flintlocks and grenades, and then find an opportunity to lead the Chang'an camp to Beijing...
Now this plan has to be changed.
Now Chang'an Firearms Factory only produces a few hand grenades and not even a single bayonet flintlock gun.
Jia Yun wants to transfer all the craftsmen, equipment, and materials from Chang'an Firearms Factory to Shenjing City.
There is already a Nei Firearms Factory in Shenjing City that has a greater firearm manufacturing capacity than the Chang'an Firearms Factory. Once Jia Yun takes control of the Nei Firearms Factory, and the craftsmen, equipment, and materials from the Chang'an Firearms Factory are transferred to the Nei Firearms Factory, then Jia Yun will
Yun will have a firearms factory with strong firearms R&D and manufacturing capabilities!
…
…
Jia Yun said that there was chaos in Chao Gang and turmoil in Shenjing. This was an exaggeration.
However, after the death of the Supreme Emperor, the court did become chaotic.
The princes and ministers, as well as the empress dowager and empress Yin, all had plans for the throne.
The princes and ministers recommended the successor to the Queen Mother one after another.
Prince Zhongxian Xia Hao, Prince Zhongqin Xia Huang, Prince Zhongshun, and Prince Yicheng all approached the Empress Dowager to express their desire to succeed to the throne. Several other princes also approached the Empress Dowager to express their intention, including Prince Yihei!
Prince Yiping was the first general king of the Qing Dynasty. He was the prince of Emperor Kangxing and the brother of Emperor Tianzhi. He was once a strong contender for the throne. He was later defeated by Emperor Tianzhi and was deprived of military power. After being a very low-key Prince Qingxian for many years, Prince Yihei also stood up this time and expressed to the Empress Dowager that he wanted to succeed to the throne!
The Queen Mother also summoned Queen Yin, who recommended the eldest prince Xia Hao.
From the afternoon of the third day of May to the early morning of the fourth day of May, it took only half a day for the Queen Mother to make a decision in her heart!
In the early morning of the fourth day of May, the Empress Dowager, who did not care about resting, announced her decision to more than 20 princes and ministers in the Qianqing Palace: "After careful consideration of your suggestions, I have decided that the emperor's eldest grandson will succeed to the throne!"
As soon as these words came out, Xia Hao at the scene suddenly became excited. Prince Yiping, Prince Yicheng, Prince Zhongshun, Prince Zhongqin Xia Huang and many other princes were depressed, and some ministers were also depressed...
The Empress Dowager immediately said: "Everyone, please pay your respects to the new emperor now!"
In the Qing Dynasty, under normal circumstances, as soon as the old emperor died, the princes and ministers would immediately pay homage to the new emperor.
However, the current situation is not an ordinary situation. The current situation is indeed very special. First, the emperor died, and then the emperor died. Now less than a day has passed, and the empress dowager is in a hurry to appoint a new emperor. And she is only the empress dowager. God The ruling emperor and the supreme emperor did not leave any edict to pass the throne!
"I pay my respects to the Emperor..."
Immediately, several princes and ministers paid their respects to Xia Hao.
There were only a few of them, and the remaining twenty princes and ministers were unwilling to meet him.
The faces of the Empress Dowager and Xia Hao both turned ugly. The Empress Dowager became angry and said: "Why don't you all pay homage to the new emperor? Do you want to disobey my decree?"
Everyone was silent, and the place was completely silent.
The Empress Dowager asked the people to pay homage to her twice more, but only three more people came to pay homage. There were still more than a dozen princes and ministers who did not want to pay homage.
The Empress Dowager was helpless for a moment, and could only say in a deep voice: "This matter has been decided. Due to the special situation at the moment, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony will be held tomorrow, the fifth day of May!"
In the Ming Dynasty, about half a month after the death of the previous emperor, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was held.
In this matter, the Qing Dynasty followed the Ming Dynasty. However, special circumstances occurred when Emperor Kangxing ascended the throne. Emperor Kangxing held the enthronement ceremony on the third day after the death of the late emperor.
Now is a very special situation, something will change later. The Empress Dowager can't wait to let Xia Hao ascend the throne, so she doesn't even care about the auspicious day of the zodiac, and sets it for tomorrow, the fifth day of May.
At this time, several princes and ministers spoke up, saying that it would be too urgent to hold the enthronement ceremony tomorrow, and they should at least choose an auspicious day...
The Empress Dowager ignored this voice and said in a deep voice: "The new emperor's enthronement is a top priority right now. There is no need to care about the zodiac. The situation is the most important thing!"
After saying that, the Queen Mother got up and left. Alas, she was so tired!
In fact, the Empress Dowager is also old and in poor health. The deaths of Emperor Tianzhi and Emperor Kangxing this time have also severely damaged her spirit. She has been busy from yesterday afternoon to early this morning, and her body cannot bear it. .
The princes and ministers conspired again...
Among them, Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai met quietly. Chu Mingkai asked anxiously: "Master Cao, if Prince Zhongwu doesn't hurry up and rush the army to Beijing, it will be too late!"
Cao Wei said: "Please rest assured, Mr. Chu, I believe that Prince Zhongwu will probably lead his army to Beijing today!"
In fact, Jia Yun is currently leading 10,000 cavalry towards Shenjing City...
Ten thousand cavalry, in the eyes of Jia Yun, who participated in the Southern and Northern Wars, was not a lot. You must know that when he conquered the Qing Dynasty as a general king, he had an army of 200,000 under his banner!
However, when 10,000 cavalrymen gathered together and rushed towards the Shenjing City, it was also mighty and magnificent.
What's more, these 10,000 cavalrymen were followed by more than 20,000 Chang'an troops.
What's more, there are Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai in Shenjing City waiting to assist Jia Yun.
Cao Wei originally served as the head of the bodyguard department for several years. He had great prestige in the bodyguard department and was in charge of the military camp. Xia Yi, the head of the bodyguard department, was appointed as the general of Pingbei and went to the front line. After Cao Wei was sent to the front line, Cao Wei was
The ruling emperor promoted him to be a minister of the bodyguard in the bodyguard department.
In other words, Cao Wei and Chu Mingkai can mobilize the bodyguards, military camp and imperial guards!
