Chapter 980 The Fourteenth Old Man Raises the Army
It was rushed eight hundred miles and rushed into the capital.
Lao Qi opened the express delivery and took a closer look. He felt happy that the deadlock was finally broken.
"Fifth Brother, the Fourteenth Brother led troops into Khalkha Mongolia under the banner of commanding the troops to return to Beijing."
Lao Wu quickly took over the express delivery and looked at it carefully twice to make sure that there was no doubt that Lao Fourteen finally made up his mind and started taking action.
"What a great old man, he is indeed a descendant of my Aixinjueluo family!"
Yuzhu was so cunning that he deliberately let Lao Si and Lao Ba stand side by side, and then let Lao Si escape into Nian Gengyao's army.
If the Fourth and Eighth Lao were both killed in the rebellion, the situation would have been clear a long time ago.
Now, the food route of Shaanxi and Gansu is in the palm of Yang Sen's hand.
If you don't raise troops, you will be waiting for death. If you raise troops, you can only go around Henan and then go north.
There is no food in Henan, so it may be difficult to sustain the army.
It can be said to be a dilemma!
Now that it's all right, Old Fourteen led the main army and went straight north and detoured through Mongolia back to Beijing.
Moreover, the banner was neither to punish thieves under the imperial edict, nor to serve the king under the imperial edict, nor to side with the Qing emperor, but to return to the capital under the imperial edict!
The Mongols had long been turned into a mass of loose sand at the mercy of Emperor Daxing, and it was impossible for the Mongols to sacrifice their own tribe to stop Lao Si4's elite army for Yuzhu.
After the rise of the Qing army, the Mongols continued to decline.
However, the Mongols are not stupid. Who would risk their lives for Yuzhu?
More importantly, without the command of the imperial court, the Mongols were leaderless. Even if they wanted to kill the thieves, they would be unable to save their lives.
Although the Mongols have no food, they do have cattle and sheep!
"Haha, the army will have no worries about food!" Lao Wu stood up and immediately ordered, "Come here, seal the news tightly and don't let the Queen Mother and the Emperor of the two palaces know about it."
"嗻."
When the old emperor was alive, although the fifth and seventh children had their own errands to do, they would not be idle at home.
To be honest, Lao Wu and Lao Qi have always been marginalized princes.
What the old emperor really valued was Yinreng and Hongxi, father and son.
However, if Yuzhu continues to grow in strength, the power of the Aixinjueluo family will inevitably be lost.
Lao Wu and Lao Seven would rather give up their personal power and wealth to preserve the entire Aixinjueluo family. No matter what, they are considering the overall situation and understanding the general situation!
However, on the night when Lao Wu and Lao Qi issued the gag order, someone quietly opened the Anding door.
The rumble of footsteps rang in the capital all night long!
Those who are brave can open the window slightly and look out at the street.
Oh my God, large groups of new troops, pushing artillery carts, entered the city in a mighty manner.
In the artillery ranks, foreigners can often be seen.
In the early morning, people who got up early opened the door and took a look.
My dear, both sides of the street are lined with New Army soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Rows of New Army soldiers were deployed along the street, boundless and endless as far as the eye could see!
However, the New Army soldiers did not interfere with those who got up early and allowed everyone to go out freely.
Those who should buy groceries buy groceries, those who should do small business do small business, those who should have morning tea drink morning tea, and those who should go out of the city go out of the city. In order, everything is as usual!
However, the new army entered the city. How could such a big event not arouse people's discussion?
"I asked, why did Tong Jia and Ah Man suddenly lead troops into the capital?"
"Oh, the world is about to be in chaos!"
"I'm counting with my fingers. I'm afraid the Qing Dynasty's empire is..."
"Be careful what you say, be careful what you say."
"Don't talk about national affairs."
"Brother, you are well-informed. Can you tell me whether Tong Jia and Ah Hao can achieve great things?"
"Oh, it's so rare. The Qing Dynasty had millions of soldiers, but how many of them did Tong Jia have in his hands? Hehe, you can train 300,000 soldiers. You wouldn't even believe it. How could money fall from the sky?"
"Yeah yeah."
Just when the people in the capital were talking a lot, martial law was suddenly imposed from in front of Chaoyang Gate to Donghua Gate!
A huge carriage, surrounded by officers and soldiers from Guard Town, drove mightily from the east.
In the carriage, Yuzhu took a sip of tea and asked Zhou Quan with a smile: "Brother Zhusheng, how do you feel about returning to Beijing in this way?"
Zhou Quan shook his folding fan and smiled: "Dong Weng, to be honest, I have been looking forward to this day for a long time!"
Jiang Sheng, who was sitting opposite, also twitched his beard and said with a smile: "If the Fourteenth doesn't take action, we really don't have a suitable excuse to lead the troops back to Beijing."
There must always be a reason for everything!
It is absolutely true that Yuzhu cats are training troops in Tianjin.
However, it is also true that Yuzhu did not monopolize the power of the government.
Regardless of whether the Fourteenth or the Fourth Lao led troops to the capital without purpose, it was an act of rebellion, which gave Yuzhu an excuse.
To put it bluntly, even if Lao Si4 were to follow the imperial edict, he would still need the imperial court to issue an order to pass through the passes along the way.
Otherwise, cats and dogs can all use the so-called posthumous edict to make a fuss.
The question is, how could the Empress Dowager Chui Lian and the young emperor open an eye for the fourteenth old man?
No matter what banner Old Fourteen puts out, raising troops without a purpose is treason!
Yuzhu was ordered to lead troops to the capital to serve the king, so it was natural for him to do so!
When Yuzhu's carriage slowly drove into Chaoyang Gate, the New Army soldiers guarding the gate, under the command of their superiors, raised their guns in salute.
"stand at attention!"
"salute!"
Due to the martial law along the way, the carriage galloped all the way to Donghua Gate.
The guards guarding the door looked at the dark mass of New Army soldiers in front of the door with extreme horror.
I want to close the door, but I really don’t dare.
If I don't close the door, I feel very scared!
In a short time, the Yuzhu carriage stopped steadily in front of Donghua Gate.
Yuzhu got out of the carriage, holding Huang Chengcheng's decree in his hand, and shouted sternly: "We are ordered to lead troops to protect Da Nei. Anyone who dares to block it will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes." Niutai, the commander of Jinwei Town, immediately waved his hand after receiving the order.
In the blink of an eye, the officers and soldiers of the Guard Town poured into the palace like a tide.
The Eight Banners guards in the palace had no courage to resist, so they were disarmed and became prisoners of the new army.
Yuzhu took four square steps and brought Niu Tai to Nanxun Hall.
At this time, Lao Wu and Lao Qi, who were guarding Nanxun Palace, had already received the news that the new army had entered the palace.
After Yuzhu entered the palace, he saw Lao Wu and Lao Qi, glaring at him angrily.
Alas, Yuzhu couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. The once good Anda and good brothers finally came to the moment of breaking up due to different paths.
However, Yuzhu had no regrets at all.
Just because the right path in the world is subject to vicissitudes of life!
Restoring the Chinese attire is Yuzhu’s life-long dream. If someone stands in the way of someone else, he will kill someone; if someone stands in the way of a Buddha, he will kill the Buddha!
Yuzhu worked like a cow or a horse, serving the old emperor as a humble boy for more than ten years. The hope is that one day, he can proudly say that he will drive out the Tartars and restore China!
"Yuzhu, what do you mean?" Lao Qi still wanted to find a way down, so he said it more tactfully.
"Yuzhu, are you planning to rebel?" Lao Wu asked Yuzhu sharply.
Yuzhu looked deeply at Lao Wu and Lao Qi. At this moment, what's the use of talking nonsense?
"Prince Heng Yunqi and Prince Chun Yunyou, please accept the order!"
Yuzhu took out the will from his sleeves and raised it high above his head.
Lao Wu was dissatisfied and shouted: "I have been guarding Nanxun Hall, where did you get the order?"
Yuzhu Weiwei, he is the auxiliary minister who is actually in power, and the decree of the palace must go through his hands.
Although Lao Qi didn't speak, he stood up straight and showed no intention of kneeling down to accept the order.
In this case, Yuzhu didn't bother to pay attention to the superficial formalities, unfolded the decree, and read aloud: "Special order, the auxiliary ministers Yunqi and Yunyou colluded with the rebels and plotted evil. They should be dismissed from all errands and handed over to the clan.
The government will punish the crime severely."
"This is a random fate, I cannot accept it." Lao Qi refused calmly and knelt down to receive the order.
"Yuzhu, how dare you correct the imperial edict?" Lao Wu raised his finger and pointed at Yuzhu's nose and shouted harshly.
Yuzhu calmly spread out his decree in front of Lao Wu and Lao Qi, and said calmly: "How dare I correct the edict?"
Lao Qi had a good eye, and after only one look, he knew that it was indeed the true will.
However, no matter how true the will is, it cannot be accepted!
"Come here, please let Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother go to the clan mansion to have a rest. Listen carefully, you are not allowed to abuse my Fifth Brother and Seventh Brother."
"Yes." The guards swarmed forward, took up the arms of Lao Wu and Lao Qi respectively, and carried them out of Nanxun Hall.
After taking care of Lao Wu and Lao Qi, Ma Qi and Zhang Tingyu, who had been hiding in the side hall, hurried out to see Yuzhu.
"Bless me, my Lord." Ma Qi was obviously frightened, and his voice was trembling slightly.
"Meet the Lord." Zhang Tingyu paid homage to the jade pillar calmly.
Among the donations from the twenty large households in Jiangnan, the Zhang family in Tongcheng, Anhui Province is clearly visible!
Zhang Tingyu had already taken refuge in Yuzhu, and there was no need to donate a huge sum of money to do something icing on the cake.
Helplessly, the wealthy families in Jiangnan were all in the same boat, and the Confucian leaders personally came to collect donations. The Zhang family in Tongcheng was too embarrassed not to participate.
However, Zhang Tingyu was an honest official and never took bribes. He only lived by collecting rent from the vast hectares of farmland owned by the Zhang family in Tongcheng.
As a result, the Zhang family in Tongcheng had to sell 90% of their farmland, and then managed to collect donations.
Zhang Tingyu's family background is naturally clear to Yuzhu.
Therefore, Yuzhu quietly sent someone to return the donation to Zhang Tingyu in the form of a bank check from the Universe Bank.
However, Yuzhu didn't mention anything about the Zhang family's land sale.
Zhang Tingyu was so smart, he immediately realized that the thousands of hectares of farmland he had sold could never be bought back.
There are rumors outside that Yuzhu wants to be Wang Mang.
After Ma Qi heard this, he never believed it.
It’s understandable if someone else is Wang Mang.
However, the Tong Jia family is under the banner of Manchuria Xianghuang. From Tong Tulai to Yuzhu, the old Tong family has four generations, four princes and one king. It can be said that they have received many favors from the country!
Yuzhu is also a serious bannerman. Is it possible for all the Han people in the world to trust him?
As we all know, the total number of Manchu, Mongolian and Han bannermen in the entire Qing Dynasty was only a few hundred thousand.
According to reports from various places in the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi's reign, the number of Han people in the world has exceeded the 150 million mark.
Even if Yuzhu became emperor, the bannermen would definitely not accept him, so how could the Han people accept him?
Therefore, Ma Qi always believed that it was impossible for Yuzhu to become Wang Mang!
It is very possible that Yuzhu wants to be Dorgon!
