Xia Yi frowned slightly at first. The reason for this was that Jia Yun was the former General King and has now been replaced by him. Under such circumstances, Jia Yun suddenly sent his soldiers to the front line to find Zhan Chang.
Xia Yi subconsciously felt unhappy.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Yi frowned a little more and became nervous...
He thought that Emperor Tianzhi had just died and Jia Yun sent his own soldiers to find Zhan Chang. It might be related to the throne. Maybe Jia Yun wanted to raise troops to seize the throne. Maybe Jia Yun wanted Zhan Chang to raise troops to help him seize the throne.
Bit……
Zhan Chang is a middle-aged man, and he worked hard in the army and became the governor of Inner Mongolia. He is naturally not simple, at least not stupid. He also knows something about Jia Yun's character and methods, so he immediately thought of it.
The kind of thing Xia Yi was thinking about...
Zhan Chang was embarrassed. If that was the case, it would be inconvenient for him to see Jia Yun's soldiers when Xia Yi was present, so he said, "Let Prince Zhongwu's soldiers wait while I receive the general."
Xia Yi said: "That can't be the case. The Sixth Emperor sent his own soldiers to look for Master Zhan. He thinks there is something urgent, and it may have something to do with this king. Master Zhan should let the soldiers come in immediately."
Jia Yun's soldiers didn't know that Xia Yi was currently in Zhan Chang's camp. When he walked into the camp and found Xia Yi here, he was embarrassed. Jia Yun had told him to hand over the document to Zhan Chang's hand, and also told him that in Zhan Chang's camp,
Zhan Chang must not let the document fall into Xia Yi's hands before he reads it.
The soldiers hesitated, but Xia Yi took the lead and said: "Why did your prince send you to find Lord Zhan?"
The soldier was even more embarrassed, but he still made a quick decision and said to Zhan Chang: "My prince wrote a document and asked me to hand it over to Mr. Zhan. Mr. Zhan, this document is very important and confidential. Please read it immediately.
"
With that said, the soldier took out the document and handed it over. Zhan Chang understood, took the document with his own hand, opened it and started reading...
Seeing this, the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhan Chang read the document, his expression did not change much, but he was already shocked.
"Master Zhan, can you let me take a look?" Xia Yi said.
Zhan Chang hesitated.
Xia Yi said: "What? Can't even I, the king, read this document?"
Zhan Chang hesitated for a while and said: "What is said in this document is a private matter, and the general and the king do not need to read it."
Xia Yi's expression became serious and his tone became tougher: "Right now, I and you are fighting on the front line. I am the general king, and you are a general under my command. I have the right to review all the documents you receive. Is it difficult for me to do so?"
Do you want to resist military orders?"
Zhan Chang hesitated for a while, then put away the document and became serious and tough: "I said, the general and the king do not need to read this document!"
Xia Yi: "..."
Zhan Chang admired Jia Yun very much, and Jia Yun had saved his life. Once, he and his deputy Gan Rong were surrounded by the Qing army and were about to die. Jia Yun led the Chang'an camp to rescue them in time.
.
Zhan Chang is a brave and loyal military commander, similar to Liu Dongliang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town.
Because of this, when Jia Yun led Chang'an Camp to leave the front line, Zhan Chang took the lead and shouted the words: "Send to the General King! Send to the brothers of Chang'an Camp!"
Because of this, Jia Yun believed that one of the two people most likely to raise troops to help him seize the throne was Zhan Chang.
The other one is Tang Anping.
Jia Yun and Tang Daqian were good friends. Tang Anping, like Cao Wei, used to treat Jia Yun as a junior. Jia Yun also said in the document written to Tang Anping that Tang Daqian would follow him to raise an army, even if Tang Anping did not follow him.
, if Jia Yun fails to seize the throne, Tang Daqian will also cause the Tang family to be executed.
Xia Yi, who had always been scheming, suddenly shouted loudly: "Zhan Chang, you are so brave. Do you want to go to war to help Prince Zhongwu seize the throne? This is a serious crime that can be executed by the whole family!"
Zhan Chang's actions made Xia Yi realize that his guess was probably correct. Jia Yun was probably asking Zhan Chang to raise troops to help seize the throne. Xia Yi panicked!
If Xia Hao becomes the emperor, Xia Yi can continue to be a very noble prince and will not be punished. But if Jia Yun becomes the emperor, Xia Yi thinks that Jia Yun will definitely punish him!
Zhan Chang hesitated. He was not hesitating whether to raise troops to help Jia Yun seize the throne. He had already made a quick decision on this matter, that is!
What he hesitated this time was whether to capture Xia Yi. Jia Yun said in the document she gave him that if Xia Yi gets in the way, he will capture Xia Yi!
Zhan Chang hesitated for a while and then quickly made a decision. He suddenly stood up and walked out of the tent under Xia Yi's surprised eyes. Xia Yi also hurriedly followed.
"Someone is coming!"
Zhan Chang's orders sounded outside the camp, and then hundreds of soldiers captured Xia Yi and the dozen guards and soldiers he brought with him, and several of the guards were beheaded.
When Xia Yi came to the front line before, he not only brought a group of personal soldiers, but also ten palace guards specially arranged for him by Emperor Tianzhi.
It has to be said that Xia Yi is really miserable. He was already facing a bad situation regarding the throne. He only brought a dozen guards and soldiers to Zhan Chang's camp tonight, hoping to get close to Zhan Chang.
, to prepare for his own army to seize the throne in the future, but he was actually captured!
It’s all bad luck!
Raising an army to assist Jia Yun in seizing the throne was already a serious crime, so Zhan Chang simply went even further and captured Xia Yi, the great general and king.
Immediately, Zhan Chang sent someone to summon his generals to his camp and mobilized.
During the mobilization, Zhan Chang quoted some words from Jia Yun's document, but he did not directly say that he was raising troops to help Jia Yun seize the throne. He said that he was assisting Jia Yun in defending the sacred capital and maintaining the imperial court. He also mentioned the probability of success in this matter.
It’s very big, and I will be heavily rewarded afterwards...
"Sir, I think this matter is very inappropriate. Prince Zhongwu is clearly raising an army to seize the throne. This is a treasonous and unethical act. If we participate, it will be a serious crime for everyone to be executed!"
It was deputy general Wu Pan who said this.
Wu Pan didn't like Jia Yun. Although he took the initiative to apologize to Jia Yun because of the conflict with Jia Yun in the past, and Jia Yun accepted it, he still held grudges because of this in his heart. Moreover, he thought Jia Yun would become bigger on the front line.
During the period of the Shogun King, he was not reused enough.
Zhan Chang glared at Wu Pan and did not respond to Wu Pan. Instead, he looked at Deputy General Gan Rong: "Vice General Gan, are you willing?"
"Your Majesty is willing!" Gan Rong said with clasped fists. He was Zhan Chang's confidant, and he also admired Jia Yun very much, and Jia Yun also saved his life.
Gan Rong took the lead, and then several generals expressed their willingness, but three others remained silent, indicating that they were unwilling. Including Wu Pan, a total of four people were unwilling.
Zhan Chang was mentally prepared for this. In fact, Jia Yun mentioned this matter in the document she gave him, and also mentioned a plan to deal with it. The plan is...
"Someone is coming!"
Following Zhan Chang's order, hundreds of soldiers who had been arranged in advance poured in from outside the camp to capture Wu Pan and the four men.
"How dare you!" Wu Pan shouted angrily. The other three were also angry, and all four of them resisted.
A fight immediately broke out in the camp. After the fight, all four of Wu Pan were captured.
Although these four people are all military generals, two of them are very powerful, including Wu Pan, who was ranked second in the military rankings. However, there are only four of them after all, and most of the hundreds of soldiers deployed by Zhan Chang this time are not worth their weight.
Low.
This is the plan Jia Yun mentioned in the document to deal with this kind of thing.
In fact, when Jia Yun mobilized generals in the Chang'an camp before, if any general was unwilling, Jia Yun would capture him at that time to prevent the general from hindering the mobilization of troops.
At this time, someone suddenly came to report to Zhan Chang: "Sir, Mr. Tang, the Wing Commander of the Outer Firearms Battalion, wants to see you."
Zhan Chang understood, and Jia Yun said in the document to him that he and Tang Anping would raise troops to assist this time.
Zhan Chang immediately asked people to take Tang Anping to his camp.
When Tang Anping came to the camp, he noticed some blood stains outside the camp and immediately realized something. When he walked into the camp, he found that many generals from the Inner Mongolia camp had gathered inside the camp. Tang Anping became even more aware of something.
"I've met Mr. Zhan." Tang Anping greeted.
Zhan Chang got straight to the point: "Have you received the document from Prince Zhongwu?"
Tang Anping nodded and looked at the officers and soldiers in the camp. Zhan Chang knew that he was worried about these people, so he took him outside the camp. Then Tang Anping whispered: "Master Zhan decided to raise troops to assist Prince Zhongwu?"
Zhan Chang nodded: "I even captured the fourth prince just now."
In his heart, Zhan Chang only recognized Jia Yun as the great general and king, and he despised and even dissatisfied Xia Yi. Now that he had broken his heart, he called Xia Yi the fourth prince.
Tang Anping: "..."
He had just realized that Zhan Chang was about to raise an army, but he didn't expect that Zhan Chang would do so brilliantly and even capture Xia Yi.
Tang Anping was both nervous and surprised by this.
Needless to say, I was nervous. I raised troops to help Jia Yun seize the throne. If he failed, it would be a serious crime to kill everyone. To take down Xia Yi, a great general and king, would be a serious crime and a greater crime.
The surprise is that with Zhan Chang's assistance, Jia Yun's chances of succeeding in seizing the throne will increase.
You must know that the Inner Mongolia camp originally had 40,000 troops, but suffered heavy losses in the campaign against the Qing Dynasty, with a loss of more than 10,000. Even so, it still has more than 20,000 troops today.
The foreign firearms camp under Tang Anping is not simple either.
Originally, the Foreign Firearms Battalion had a total of 5,000 troops to fight on the front line, but now, after the Qing Dynasty has been fighting for so long, the Foreign Firearms Battalion still has nearly 5,000 troops.
In the war against the Qing Dynasty, firearms were very important, and the Wai Firearms Factory located in Landingchang Town, the western suburbs of Shenjing City, continuously delivered firearms to the Wai Firearms Battalion on the front line. In addition, Jia Yun had a close relationship with Tang Anping, so,
When Jia Yun served as the general king, the newly arrived troops gave priority to supplying the foreign firearms camp.
With nearly 5,000 troops and very powerful firearms equipment, such an external firearms camp is naturally not simple.
Zhan Chang asked: "Are you raising troops?"
Tang Anping nodded.
Zhan Chang said: "In this case, you and I will live and die together this time. Without further delay, I will immediately mobilize the Inner Mongolia camp army, and you will immediately return to the outer firearms camp to mobilize."
After Tang Anping left, Zhan Chang and his generals mobilized the Inner Mongolia camp army. At the same time, Tang Anping returned to the Outer Firearms Camp and also mobilized...
At midnight that day, Zhan Chang and Tang Anping led the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion respectively, leaving the front line together and rushing to Shanhaiguan City...
Xia Yi was escorted by Zhan Chang on the road together. Zhan Chang thought that leaving Xia Yi on the front line might cause disaster, and escorting Xia Yi to the capital might come in handy for Jia Yun in seizing the throne.
Qi Kang'an, Xu Pingzhi, and Wu Zhaoxiang, the three generals also received documents from Jia Yun. Jia Yun did not ask the three to raise troops to help him seize the throne. Instead, he asked the three to lead their respective armies to suspend the attack on Shengjing City and defend the city.
Don't attack.
Jia Yun arranged this for two reasons.
First, after the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion left, it was unlikely that the remaining troops could capture Shengjing City to avoid heavy casualties and preserve their strength.
Second, the three general soldiers cannot be allowed to hinder the raising of troops of the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Battalion, nor can the three general soldiers be allowed to assist other princes in seizing the throne, such as Xia Yi who is on the front line.
Jia Yun said in the document to the three of them that if the three of them complied with his request, they would be heavily rewarded afterwards. If they dared to hinder the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Camp from raising troops, or raise troops to assist Xia Yi or other princes, Jia Yun would seize the throne.
Success will never be taken lightly.
Because of this, the Inner Mongolia camp and the Outer Firearms camp raised troops and left, and Xia Yi and his bodyguards were captured or killed. Qi Kang'an, Xu Pingzhi, and Wu Zhaoxiang did not intervene.
Even if one of the three dares to lead an army to intervene, he will not be able to resist the joint efforts of the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion. Instead, he may die in battle. He has been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for so long, and it seems that the Qing Dynasty will be suppressed. If he suddenly dies in battle.
In the hands of the Qing Dynasty army, that would be ridiculous.
A few hours later, the Inner Mongolia Camp and the Outer Firearms Camp, which were rushing to Shanhaiguan City, were suddenly intercepted by several people. These people were the second wave of close soldiers sent by Jia Yun!
It turned out that after Jia Yun raised troops to Beijing and occupied the palace, she urgently wrote six documents and drafted six imperial edicts, and sent her trusted officers and soldiers to Wei Kun, Zhan Chang, Qi Kang'an, Xu Pingzhi, Wu Zhaoxiang, and Tang Anping.
In this second wave of documents, Jia Yun said that he had led Chang An's camp into the city, that Cao Wei was assisting him, that Chu Mingkai was assisting him, that he had occupied the palace, that the nine-door admiral Ren Tianxiao had surrendered, and that
Lian Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War, went to persuade the Jiedushi envoy of Beijing Camp to submit. The chance of success is very high...
Because the capital camp had not yet surrendered and the throne was not yet stable at that time, Jia Yun's imperial edict and the second wave of documents could increase the possibility of Wei Kun and the six others complying with his request.
Now, Zhan Chang and Tang Anping have received Jia Yun's imperial edict and the second wave of documents.
The two of them were very pleasantly surprised after reading the imperial edict and the document. Neither of them doubted the authenticity of the situation stated in the document. After all, the imperial edict was genuine, and the seal of the Imperial Seal on the imperial edict was also genuine. Jia Yunruo had not occupied the palace.
How could such an edict be sent!
Both of them also admired Jia Yun even more. Although Jia Yun said in the first wave of documents to them that the chance of success in raising troops to seize the throne was very high, they still admired such a quick and smooth result.
He is worthy of being the great general who suppressed the rebellion in Jiangnan and frightened the Qing Dynasty!
Immediately, Zhan Chang and Tang Anping mobilized the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion respectively, because the military morale of the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion was somewhat unstable, and some officers and soldiers even stayed on the front line or escaped.
Now with Jia Yun's imperial edict and the second wave of documents, and after mobilization again, the military morale of the Inner Mongolia Battalion and the Outer Firearms Battalion has stabilized.
When Zhan Chang was mobilizing, Xia Yi, who was being held in a prison car, also learned about the current situation in Shenjing City. He, who was already miserable enough, couldn't help but become pale and lost...
He knew that Jia Yun was about to secure the throne, but after the Xia Yi was over, even his last hope of raising an army to seize the throne was shattered. He could no longer even be the noble prince he used to be, and he was going to be punished...
Xia Yi looked up at the sky, it was raining.
"ah……"
Xia Yi couldn't help but screamed, and along with the scream, tears appeared on his face.
Thousands of miles away from the sacred city of Beijing, the sky is raining, and the fourth prince, Prince Zhongyong Xia Yi, who was once deeply appreciated by Emperor Tianzhi and is most likely to inherit the throne, is crying in the prison car!
