In the Ming Dynasty, Dongchang had absolute and supreme power in handling cases.
But if you want to mobilize the troops of the guard station to help you handle the case, you need the official documents of Dongchang.
Of course, if it was a guard station with good connections, as long as they saw Xiao Chen's face, it would be a simple matter to send some troops to assist in handling the case.
But Xiao Chen had never had any dealings with Daning Dusi.
The prince's affairs are of vital importance, but for Daning Dusi, they are not within the scope of his responsibilities. Whether to send troops or not depends on the mood of the commander.
Therefore, after meeting Wang Zheng, Xiao Chen took out his plum blossom order from his waist and prepared to hand it over to the other party for inspection.
After all, the two of them had never met, so it was a bit too casual to mobilize the other side's troops with just a few words of their own.
After receiving the Plum Blossom Order, Wang Zheng examined it carefully and then handed it back to Xiao Chen with a smile on his face: "It turns out to be Lord Ziyi, disrespectful."
Pointing to the seat opposite him: "Sit, sit and talk."
Xiao Chen was not polite, nodded to the two commanders, and sat down directly.
"Master Ziyi came to our Da Ning Dusi, and there must be nothing to do, right?" Wang Zheng said with a smile.
In the past, when people from Dongchang came to the yamen, they would either conduct an inquiry on their own yamen, or seek verification of the affairs of other yamen.
Not to mention the commander-in-chief's Yamen, even the Fifth Army Commander's Office and Dongchang investigated and dealt with casually.
But it was different today. Only one purple-clad captain came from Dongchang, and it seemed that he was not investigating the Daning Dusi. Therefore, although Wang Zheng's posture was not high, it was not low either.
After all, he is a military attaché of the imperial court and a true overlord.
As long as it's not Dongchang who comes to investigate and investigate me, I still need to have the proper pedigree.
Xiao Chen crossed his fists and said seriously: "I came to Daning Dusi today just to take over some of Daning Dusi's troops."
Wang Zheng laughed: "Master Ziyi should know that our Daning Dusi is directly under the command of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. Not to mention the Ministry of War, without the transfer order from the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, even I would not dare to send troops casually. If there are no other special circumstances
Given the situation, I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint Lord Ziyi now.”
So far, something has happened to the prince, and the future of Dongchang is not very clear. I welcome you, the purple-robed captain, to our Daning capital as a guest.
But if we want to mobilize troops at will, how can I agree to it without any explanation?
Xiao Chen knew in his heart that although the other party still called him Lord Ziyi, it was impossible not to know that his purple clothes had been taken back by the emperor.
This kind of rhetoric is just to give yourself a step up and prevent yourself from being too embarrassed.
When something happens to the prince, the whole court is looking forward to the people in Dongchang who can't stand up. But what is the attitude of Daning Dusi? I have no way of knowing.
But no matter what, I must borrow the troops of the Daning Dusi.
"The prince was kidnapped. I wonder if the commander knows the news?" Xiao Chen asked calmly.
According to the other party's level, it is impossible not to know the news about the prince's accident. The reason why Xiao Chen asked like this was just to block the other party's escape route.
If you knew, you should send troops to help me.
If you don't know, I'll tell you and let you know.
"The prince was kidnapped? When did it happen? Such a big thing happened in the capital?" Wang Zheng looked horrified, as if he had just learned about this incident.
"It's been seven or eight days," Xiao Chen said.
"Then Master Ziyi came to Daning Dusi, and it was me who searched for the whereabouts of the prince?" Wang Zheng asked in a low voice as he leaned forward.
"To be honest, the reason why I came to Daning Dusi is because I have confirmed that the prince is in Baoding City. However, I came out this time with limited manpower and cannot conduct an investigation of the entire Baoding City. Return to the capital.
I'm afraid that getting the transfer order from the Ministry of War will delay the opportunity, so I can only come to Daning Dusi alone to discuss it with the commander."
Xiao Chen told his purpose of coming.
The entire situation could not tolerate any further delay, and Xiao Chen did not want to waste too much time in the communication process with Daning Dusi.
"The prince is hidden in Baoding City?" Wang Zheng was startled, "Can Master Ziyi be sure of this news?"
Wang Zheng is well aware of the importance of the prince. If he can help the captain in purple find the prince, it will be God giving him credit.
However, if the news is not very certain, he will randomly dispatch troops to investigate the entire Baoding City, not to mention disturbing the people. If there is no result in raising troops and mobilizing people, he is afraid that some people with good intentions will take advantage of him and accuse him of abusing his power and mobilizing troops without permission.
Together with Dongchang, they disturbed the people.
The most important thing is that I am responsible for city defense, and the government office directly under Baoding City is Baoding Mansion. I should inform Baoding Mansion in advance of my casual inspection of the city.
"I have been following the person who kidnapped the prince to this Baoding City. If I am not completely sure, I will not dare to ask for your help easily and conduct a city-wide investigation. I have arranged for the Dongchang Colonel to control the current Baoding City Gate.
, you can only go in but not out. And for key units, the captain of the Dongchang School will monitor them all the time." Xiao Chen said.
"Has Lord Ziyi informed Baoding Mansion?"
"Not yet." Xiao Chen said, "As long as Daning Dusi sends troops to control the surrounding areas of Baoding City, I will go to Baoding Mansion."
"Okay." Wang Zheng put his hands on the table and stood up, "I, Daning Dusi, am the capital of the imperial court. Now, the prince is in trouble, and he is within the defense area of Daning Dusi. I, Daning Dusi, have categorically not refused to send troops.
The truth. Master Ziyi said, what do you need me to do."
"Your Majesty, the Commander, will first dispatch troops to control the entire Baoding City. No one is allowed to leave the city. I will take people from Dongchang to search key suspected units. If there are no results, please cooperate with Dongchang to conduct a city-wide investigation."
Xiao Chen said.
"Master Ziyi, please follow your arrangements. I will immediately mobilize our troops to control Baoding City." Wang Zheng said to Xiao Chen with his fists raised.
As a second-grade military attaché, Wang Zheng was well aware of the serious consequences of delaying a fighter jet. Since Xiao Chen was so sure, it would be a bit unreasonable for him not to take the credit that was given to him.
"Da Ning Dusi is so cooperative with Dongchang. I will definitely report this matter to Emperor Ming when I get back." Xiao Chen stood up, clasped his fists in salute, and turned to leave.
Watching Xiao Chen walk out of the gate, a commanding officer came over and asked a little worriedly: "Sir, are you really planning to control Baoding City?"
"Why, according to your wishes, you can't deploy control?" Wang Zheng turned his head and looked at the other party while stroking the three-inch long beard on his chin.
"Your Excellency has already agreed to the captain in purple. It won't work if we don't deploy control. Please deploy control. It's really a bit hasty." Blinking his eyes, the commanding officer said.
"A bit hasty??" Wang Zheng asked puzzledly.
"If you want to control Baoding City, you need to mobilize a lot of troops. Just based on the words of the captain in purple, even if the prince is found, this move will leave a clue to others."
"What do you mean, we have to wait for the Ministry of War's transfer order before we can fully control Baoding City?" Wang Zheng shook his head, "If we really wait for the Ministry of War's transfer order, and the prince makes a mistake in Baoding City, our heads will be lost.
"
"Losing your head? We are just following the court's rules and executing them to the letter." The commander said his opinion.
"System? If the emperor is angry, who cares about the system? The purple-clothed captain has already come to the door and told me that the prince was kidnapped by the other party and taken to Baoding City. This is a military situation. If there is a military situation during the war, you have to wait for the order of the court.
How can we win the battle?" Wang Zheng straightened his back and said calmly.
"However, I am still worried that this move will leave a clue for others."
"Just stay, there's no other way. If this time it's really in vain, we took this action because we were anxious to rescue the prince. Even if someone in the court pursues the case, the person who provided the information should be held accountable first. Are you still worried?
Can't the captain in purple clothes bear this responsibility?" Wang Zheng laughed.
The commanding officer was startled for a moment, then realized what was happening and gave Wang Zheng a thumbs up: "Sir, you are smart and have already thought of a way out."
"Hahaha, you and I are both soldiers, how can we fight an uncertain battle." Wang Zheng laughed, and then looked at each other: "Mobilize the two nearest guard posts to conduct full control of Baoding City. Everyone can only enter
Not coming out.”
"Yes." The commanding officer responded and was about to go out.
"If you delay the opportunity to fight, you will be killed without mercy." Wang Zheng's cold voice came from behind.
"Yes." The commander gritted his teeth and hurried away.
