After Sun Gang left, Huang Zongxi came out from behind the screen and raised his hands to Zhu Youxiao: "Congratulations to your Majesty for getting another good general. We can finally gather the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan."
The so-called Xiyuan Eighth School Lieutenant is a small private armed force established by Zhu Youxiao based on Huang Zongxi's suggestion. Its members come from the Yulin Army, Jin Yiwei, Beijing Camp Forbidden Army and civilian martyrs. They are equipped with the latest firecrackers, grenades and other light weapons. The main officers
There are eight. Because the original intention of establishing this army was to imitate the Xiyuan Xiaowei established by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty who assigned the military power to his cousin He Jin, so it was named Xiyuan Eighth Xiaowei, which is a word difference.
The first few among the eight lieutenants were three Huang family members recommended by Huang Zongxi. Although they had not experienced actual combat, they were highly skilled in martial arts, proficient in bow and horse, proficient in military tactics, and had a fiery heart to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. Later, they were recruited
Yuan Chonghuan's son Yuan Chengzhi, Zhao Xingde, the son of Zhao Erhu, the commander of the Royal Forest Army, Qiu Wu and Xu Sanpi, the officers of the Imperial Guard, and the last and most important one is Sun Gang who was just recruited into the Eighth School Lieutenant.
The Eight Lieutenants of Xiyuan were directly ordered by the emperor and did not rule over each other. Except for the emperor's own orders, even Wei Zhongxian could not command them. There were not many soldiers under them, but they were all heroes who were as good as ten. It is said that even the company
The Red Shirt Army was no match for them. Only with such a reliable army in hand could Zhu Youxiao be sure to deal with Liu Ziguang.
Now the Zhenguo Palace has been blocked by the Jinyi Guards, and no one is allowed in or out. Soldiers from the Beijing camp are also living outside the camp of the Red Shirt Army in the suburbs. More importantly, the radio tower on Zijin Mountain has been artificially destroyed. Liu Ziguang relied on
If the important channel for contacting the outside world is blocked, his forces all over the country will be unable to quench their thirst.
Originally, according to Huang Zongxi's suggestion, he had to wait for a while to further control the power of Nanchang before operating on Liu Ziguang. However, the death of King Fu provided an excellent opportunity, forcing the action to be moved forward, and such an important clan member died.
No matter how arrogant Liu Ziguang was, he had to keep a low profile for a while and was forced to stay under house arrest in Yingtian Mansion. All external contacts relied on Nachang, and Nachang now belonged to the emperor, so Liu Ziguang's external relations had been interrupted. In addition, Wei Zhongxian had
The Hua Gong Powder prepared by the master hermit Sanlu Zhenren from Zhending Mansion in Hebei Province will make Liu Ziguang lose all his martial arts in a few days.
Without the red shirts and martial arts, Liu Ziguang would become a toothless tiger with nothing to fear. When the time comes, Liu Ziguang will be sentenced to death by Dali Temple for killing His Royal Highness Prince Fu. Of course, His Majesty the Emperor will be very happy then.
It was sad and unbearable, but in the end, in order to maintain the dignity of the law, he would still shed tears and kill his brother-in-law. Even the emperor had thought about the matters after Liu Ziguang's death and built him a huge tomb with the shape of Qilian Mountain. On the day of his funeral,
The emperor personally paid tribute to Liu Ziguang and cried endlessly, and then gave Liu Ziguang's family a large reward, allowing them to live the rest of their lives in wealth and peace, so that the world could see that he, Zhu Youxiao, was not an unconscionable king.
This is the first plan, and it is also the most ideal plan, but Liu Ziguang's strength in Beijing still cannot be underestimated. If Liu Ziguang is sentenced to death rashly, it is likely to cause an incident. Then it will be the time for the Eighth School Lieutenant of Xiyuan to take action.
Now, since confrontation is inevitable, let them come faster. With Sun Gang as an internal agent, all the movements of the rebels are transparent. The imperial court is fully aware of the whereabouts of these rebels. As soon as they show up, they will be captured.
If you kill him, he will be eradicated. The imperial court is just suppressing the rebellion, and the people in the world will still not say that the imperial court is wrong.
At this time, Liu Ziguang didn't know that Sun Gang had betrayed him. He only thought that those fans were still his own, so he asked them to go to the restaurant outside every day to ask for noodles to come over to eat. The food prepared by the imperial chef Wang San was secretly poured out to them every day.
Dogs ate it, but it was impossible to prevent it. Instead of putting medicine in it, they put Hua Gong Powder in the restaurant banquet. Liu Ziguang took a large amount of Hua Gong Powder every day without even realizing it.
The personnel composition of the South Factory is relatively complicated. The most basic ones are the gangsters in the south of the city headed by Sun Gang, that is, the group of people from Ziguang Automobile Dealer. Later, some red shirt soldiers, martial arts people, charlatans and the like were added. Although every year
Training was also conducted, but it was mainly about business aspects, and the brainwashing education was not enough. Moreover, Liu Ziguang had been away fighting for a long time, and the faces in the factory were no longer familiar. He only existed as the spiritual leader of the South Factory, so when Sun Gang quietly carried out
He did not and could not find any clues when he was deploying personnel and transferring those red-shirted soldiers out of Beijing to perform tasks.
At this time, the outside of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion was already full of people from the Imperial Guard, all dressed in plain clothes pretending to be business vendors or passers-by. But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that something was wrong. Liu Ziguang was not here, and Peng Jingrong was the head of the family. She sent someone to contact her first.
Sun Gang of the South Factory and Zhong Shouyong of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, but the people they sent out were like mud cows drowning in the sea and never returned. Even the servants who went out to buy vegetables were followed the whole time. Peng Jinrong became anxious and wore Mrs. Gaoming's Fengguanxia Phi.
She went to Yingtian Mansion to visit the prison, but when she got to the door, the soldiers refused to let her in. She immediately understood that things had changed. Now she couldn't trust anyone. There was only one person who could save Liu Ziguang and the whole family of the Duke's Mansion, and that was the eldest princess.
Zeng Cheng.
When they arrived at the entrance of Wuyi Alley, the group of imperial guards had already been replaced. When they saw Peng Jinrong arriving, they stepped forward to stop her mercilessly, saying that no one was allowed to see the princess without the imperial decree. Peng Jinrong was so angry that she wanted to force her to
When she walked into Wuyi Alley, she heard the sound of a hammer being cocked. A dozen guns were pointed at her, with the intention of firing if she took one step forward. Peng Jinrong stamped her feet, turned around and left.
At the same time, the red shirt army camp in the south of the city discovered something was wrong. A battalion of forbidden troops suddenly came nearby and completely blocked the camp. It was useless for them to go to negotiate. The commander was locked up in Yingtian Mansion and could not be seen. The camp
None of the responsible generals were there. As the saying goes, there is no leader, and the group of people suddenly lost their minds.
The Forbidden Army training team was also stationed in the Imperial Martial Arts Hall in the capital, saying that it was to coach the trainees in their drills. After the trainees were taken out for a thirty-mile cross-country run, they found that the weapons depot had been emptied by the Forbidden Army. Firearms and ammunition were used for teaching.
All types of cannons, tanks, etc. were missing. The general of the Forbidden Army announced to them: According to the order of the Ministry of War, all armament schools will surrender their firearms and temporarily replace them with wooden guns. After all, the students are more naive and do not realize the things behind the surrender.
, all of them were just complaining, complaining that the old-fashioned people in the Ministry of War were too unreasonable.
Originally, when Zhao Wen was here, there were still two gunboats stationed in the Song Dynasty on the Yangtze River, with hundreds of sailors at their disposal. However, as soon as Zhao Wen left, these gunboats followed them back, and there was no one to rely on on the water.
The strength of the Yangtze River Navy is now tight on the outside and tight on the inside. It always keeps a few warships on fire and is always on standby to block the Yangtze River and cut off traffic at any time. At each dock, there are guards in uniform to interrogate passing travelers, which makes people panic, but no one can
I don't know what these Jin Yiwei are checking.
The Beijing Railway Station has also been taken over by Jin Yiwei, who strictly checks passengers leaving Beijing, especially young and middle-aged men with non-Jingcheng accents. If you happen to be a man in his twenties or thirties, and happen to be wearing a pair of red-shirted military boots,
Pull-back shoes, then congratulations, you will be detained on the spot for identity verification. If you brought something like a letter with you, congratulations even more, you will be taken directly to taste delicious meals such as chili pepper water tiger stool.
All this is to block the communication between the Zhenguo Palace and the outside world. Although the Guogong Palace and the Red Shirt Army barracks have been blocked, Liu Ziguang's power is too huge and his supporters are everywhere. No one can guarantee those
The measures are foolproof, and it is necessary to ensure that the news will not be leaked before Liu Ziguang is dealt with, causing turmoil in the country.
Not allowed to see Liu Ziguang, and couldn't find the general or the princess, Peng Jinrong had no choice but to go back home. As soon as she came back, she heard that Sun Gang, the admiral of the South Factory, had been waiting for a long time. Peng Jinrong hurried to see him, but Sun Gang was also very anxious.
Seeing Peng Jingrong's appearance, she said anxiously: "Sister-in-law, something has happened. King Fu has decided to kill his eldest brother, and the witnesses in the coffee shop have also been bribed by them. Everyone agrees that it was his eldest brother who kicked King Fu to death. This is really troublesome.
I'm afraid the emperor can't resist the pressure. Now I can only inform my eldest brother and submit a joint letter to his subordinates in various places to plead for him, in order to have some effect."
Peng Jingrong nodded and said, "It's exactly what I want. I will write a few letters in handwriting and ask Zheng Sen from Taiwan, Li Yan from Beijing, and Wang Fuchen from Lanzhou to jointly submit a letter to save the life of the father-in-law. It is really unfortunate that radio is at this juncture.
It's broken, I'm afraid it's a long journey, and the order will come down once the letter is delivered to the court."
Sun Gang said: "In that case, let's fight hard. There are five thousand people in Nanjing that can be used. Plus the servants in the Duke's mansion and the people from the Red Shirt Army, we can turn the city of Nanjing upside down. Sister-in-law, you can take it."
Come up with an idea."
Peng Jingrong said: "If Prince Fu wants me to die, this matter is not a big deal, but if the emperor takes the opportunity to get rid of me, then it will be really troublesome. Looking at today's posture, it seems to be very much like the latter
, Even so, we cannot openly rebel against the imperial court. To do so is like flying moths into a flame and is worthless. Don’t worry, with the eldest princess and the empress dowager here, there is still room for maneuver."
Sun Gang had no choice but to resign. Half an hour later, his secret letter appeared on Wei Zhongxian's desk. After reading it, Wei Zhongxian's face became gloomy and he whispered: "The Empress Dowager is really a stumbling block."
