"There is news from an insider in the palace. Today, the Jin Yiwei commanded Qian Shi to lead Luo Yangxing, the Jinyi Guard, into the palace to see His Majesty. They had a secret talk in Xinuang Pavilion for half an hour. Then Luo Yangxing left with a happy face," Qian Longxi said.
"This does not mean that His Majesty knew about the imperial edict," Qian Qianyi said.
"Recently, Luo Yangxing has been targeting us, seemingly or not. I asked a young eunuch to peek at the memorial he sent. It turned out that he was the one who reported on Liu Hongxun. What he exposed was the imperial edict."
"It's terrible now. Liu Hongxun estimates that a disaster is coming. Can we find a way to suppress this matter? If it becomes publicized, it will be very detrimental to us." Qian Qianyi's face became gloomy.
"It's too late. This matter was publicized by the censor, and at the same time it alarmed the Jin Yiwei. Now it has spread to all the outer dynasties."
Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen bribed Liu Hongxun and altered the imperial edict, causing an uproar.
According to the old system of our ancestors, the governor of the capital camp was not allowed to also oversee the patrol camp to avoid excessive concentration of military power.
However, in Zhang Qingzhen's appointment letter, in addition to the four words "Governor Beijing Camp", the four words "also under the jurisdiction of the capture camp" were added without authorization.
In July of the first year of Chongzhen (1628), Zhang Qingzhen was ordered to supervise the capital camp.
Later, he privately requested the cabinet to take charge of the capture camp as well.
It is recorded in the history books that Liu Hongxun accepted bribes, and he actually dared to add the words "also in charge of the patrol camp" to his appointment letter without going through the emperor and cabinet. In this way, the patrol camp was assigned to Zhang Qingzhen. This was the first rule of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
Nothing.
The generals in the patrol camp did not understand the reason and believed that there must be a treacherous minister manipulating it, and refused to listen to Zhang Qingzhen's restraint. The incident was reported to Jinyiwei by Zheng Qixin, the commander of the patrol camp.
Immediately, the censor of the Eunuch Party intervened to attack the Donglin Party for meddling in the military power of the capital and attempted to rebel. At this time, the Donglin Party was chasing the Eunuch Party, and the situation immediately got out of hand.
Zhang Qingzhen was born in a noble family and his ancestral home was Yongcheng (now part of Henan). He was the fifth grandson of Zhang Qi, the Marquis of Pengcheng, and the great-great-grandson of Hui'an Bo Zhangsheng. In the first year of Chongzhen, he attacked the Earl of Hui'an and took charge of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army. He was also in charge of the Beijing Camp and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army.
Equal grade.
"Now, we can't explain it clearly. Previously, we sent a militia group to Beijing to deal with Wei Wei. According to the inside information in the palace, His Majesty became suspicious and said that our man was Dong Zhuo who came to Beijing. At this time, he suddenly didn't know where he came from.
Why did so many Japanese pirates appear suddenly in Tongzhou? These two incidents have already made His Majesty suspicious. Now it appears that people from Donglin colluded with the nobles in charge of the Beijing camp to secretly alter the imperial edict and gain military power.
Even if you are a fool, Your Majesty knows that we have a problem." Qian Qianyi said.
Things happen so often that it's hard for people to believe that this is just a coincidence.
This is indeed not a coincidence. Yang Fan calculated the time and found that the historical edict should be within these two days. Yang Fan was going to add some more ingredients to the gentlemen in Donglin. Now that they have been picked, they are waiting for them to eat.
Already.
At this time, Yang Fan was leading his troops to prevent fire in the big warehouse in Tongzhou, and he was having a great time. Yang Fan discovered that as long as he is a man, there is no one who does not like to play with fire. This was the case when he was a child, and it is still the case when he grows up.
At this time, the actual grain stored in Tongzhou Dacang was only one-third of the amount listed on the book. The remaining grain bins were empty.
As for where the missing grain went, there is no need to study this issue in detail. Among the granaries of the Ming Dynasty, this place is considered good.
Yang Fan ordered the empty granaries to be burned directly. He became angry just looking at them. These borers were so dark.
The 500 guards in Tongzhou Dacang were usually just like coolies carrying grain and had little combat effectiveness. Yang Fan and his men were all defeated in a single charge. Tongzhou Dacang was captured without any bloodshed.
Hu Dawei and the following battalion soldiers, who came panting, almost fell to the ground when they saw the black smoke rising into the sky from Tongzhou Dacang.
"Hurry, run quickly and take back the granary." Hu Dawei was so anxious that he almost cried.
After struggling all day, it was already dark, and we finally caught up. Finally, news came that the Tongzhou warehouse had been burned down.
After a short battle, the Japanese pirates did not hesitate to fight, but headed northwest.
At this time, Dong Jishu arrived with a large army.
"Don't worry about the Japanese pirates for now, put out the fire immediately. How much food can you grab?" Dong Jishu is a veteran. He knows the priorities. Tongzhou Dacang supplies food for more than one million people and the garrison in the entire capital. If it is all burned down
, something big will happen.
What he didn't know was that most of the food here was no longer here. It had already appeared in various rice shops opened by civil servants at all levels in the capital, and had even been sold long ago.
Six thousand people had not eaten all day, so they drank some water. Some of them carried a small amount of dry food in their arms and took the opportunity to take a few bites. The vast majority of people did not eat anything.
Under the command of the chief, we quickly put out the fire. The buildings in this era were all wooden buildings. Once they burned, it was very difficult to put out the fire in an area with an arid climate like Beijing.
After struggling for most of the night, the fire was finally put out completely in the early morning. The soldiers staggered tiredly. They fell on the burning ground and fell asleep.
They hadn't slept well for a day or two since last night. They hadn't eaten anything yet and couldn't care about anything else at this time. They fell down and slept like dead pigs.
Dong Jishu called Ambassador Cang over and asked him to allocate some grain as temporary army rations, and later ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to return it from the army rations. When Ambassador Cang heard this, he shook his head like a rattle.
"Chief General, please spare the little one. It's not that I don't provide food. The Ming Dynasty has regulations that the guest army will deal with the food on its own on the first day. It's not that I don't allocate it. It really can't be allocated. It's necessary to release the military food privately.
Beheading is a grave sin."
"You dog official, if we men hadn't fought the fire desperately, all the food in your big warehouse would have been burned down. Who was the one who cried and begged us to put out the fire before? Now you are a thief and a coward, have you turned your back on me?
Let’s see if Sajia’s sword will spare you.” Hu Dawei suddenly became furious, grabbed him by the collar and thrust him to the ground, throwing the old man, Ambassador Cang, to pieces.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Forget it, don't embarrass him, just open a few stacks of grain, I will cook first, the brothers haven't eaten for a day and two nights.
.Eat first and then talk about it. If anything happens, I will take full responsibility for it."
When Ambassador Nacang heard this, he yelled. It was so painful that he rolled his eyes and fainted. However, he couldn't wake up no matter how hard he pushed.
"Hey! This thief is really smart," Hu Dawei scolded.
"Forget it, he is a low-ranking official from the ninth rank. What do you want to do to make things difficult for him? Just cook."
The Huotou Army opened the granary one after another, took out the rice, went to the well platform to fetch water, and washed the pots to make rice. Half an hour passed, and the fragrance of the rice spread. A red sun also rose slowly on the horizon.
"Commander, tell the brothers to get up and eat. The food is ready. Hey, this big warehouse is full of rice. This is great. The brothers haven't eaten more than a few meals of white rice in a year." Hu Dawei
He rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"Let them sleep for a while longer. They are also exhausted. The food is ready. Don't worry. We will eat after everyone wakes up." Dong Jishu said tiredly, holding a sheathed Yanling knife and looking at the rising sun in the distance.
. He is also almost sixty years old. He has been really tormented these past two days, these damn Japanese pirates.
At this time, a fast horse rushed into the warehouse carrying a royal guard, holding a military order document in one hand and shouting: "The Ministry of War urgently ordered Dong Jishu's troops to set off immediately to pursue the Japanese pirates in the direction of the imperial mausoleum. The Japanese pirates must not be destroyed."
Imperial Tombs of Past Dynasties.”
Dong Jishu, Hu Dawei and others were like five thunderbolts. These damn Japanese pirates actually went to the imperial mausoleum in Changping. They were not allowed to live anymore.
If they burn all the imperial tombs, these generals will have to kill the nine tribes.
"Quickly, blow the horn, wake up everyone, and march immediately to the imperial mausoleum."
"Commander, the rice has just been prepared. Why don't you let everyone eat before leaving?" Meng Ruhu was a little reluctant to part with the rice.
"What the hell, hurry up and leave. If you're late, you'll lose your head, and you won't have to eat anymore." Dong Jishu cursed angrily.
Meng Ruhu shrank his neck and quickly ordered to blast all the soldiers who were sleeping like dead pigs. For a moment, there was the sound of whips, the officers' curses and the soldiers' complaints.
The soldiers ran with resentment, following the officers' horses and chasing them all the way to the imperial mausoleum.
