Gui Zi Scroll Chapter 726: Arriving in Beijing and entering the city
Li Sancai and Zhang Jingqiu both believed that nothing unexpected could happen in just one day.
Longhutai is only eighty miles away from the capital city. If we follow the speed of the urgent march, we can reach it in one day.
And looking around, apart from Liu Wei's Xuanfu Army and Sun Shaozu's Datong Army, where are the troops?
The Jizhen Army counts, but the Jizhen Army is stationed in Santun Camp, more than 400 miles away from the capital city. Even if the cavalry wants to come over, it will take two days, and it will have to use horse power.
Now maybe You Shigong has got the news. Even if he gets Sun Chengzong's order to send troops, it will be impossible without a day's preparation. And to come from Santun camp, the cavalry will rush over regardless of it, and it will take two days.
, and for infantry, it takes at least five days, and they have to travel day and night.
More importantly, where did You Shigong get the order? Without an order from the Ministry of War, neither Li Sancai nor Zhang Jingqiu believed that You Shigong was the kind of general who could make such an important decision decisively.
You Shigong's calm and cautious character determines that he cannot make decisions in time, so it is good to arrive at the capital city in seven or eight days.
But if they still can't deal with these people in the capital city after seven or eight days, Li Sancai and Zhang Jingqiu also feel that they are really incompetent and unworthy of being in charge of the cabinet.
However, neither Li Sancai nor Zhang Jingqiu, Liu Wei, who was working hard at Longhutai, and even Sun Shaozu, did not expect that Feng Ziying had arrived in Shunyi at this time.
The two armies led by Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu had already gathered from Huairou and Miyun to Shunyi, which was even closer to the capital city than Longhu Tower.
Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were overjoyed when they saw Feng Ziying arriving.
Although they received orders to rush to Shunyi immediately, they were confused and had no idea what was going on.
Such a move that suddenly leaves one's own defense zone and advances toward the capital city can easily cause trouble. Although this is also the Jizhen defense zone, it is no longer a frontier fortress.
After Huang Degong arrived, he saw that Zuo Liangyu had also arrived with the army, and he knew that things might not be simple.
It's just that what can happen in this land of Gyeonggi is worthy of having the governor come back from Liaodong in such a mysterious way and take command personally. It's really puzzling, and besides, I haven't heard anything special during this time.
Of course, this special statement is also relative to the field of vision of the two of them. Their eyes are fixed on the Mongols outside the border wall or the possible resurgence of the White Lotus Sect, and others are not considered.
After a brief exchange of greetings, Feng Ziying ordered the two of them to immediately prepare to rush to Qinghe Store overnight.
"Qinghe Store?!" Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were both shocked.
There is the choke point leading to the capital city from the west. Qinghedian is also the most important post station outside the capital city, less than ten miles away from the capital city.
As a general, Huang Degong now has about 10,000 troops and horses in his hands, while Zuo Liangyu, as a guerrilla, also leads more than 6,000 troops, which is already quite impressive.
At this time, we suddenly arrived at Qinghe Store, which is almost under the capital city, and there is a lot of traffic coming and going. Wouldn't it be possible for the capital city to know that the second army is approaching the capital city tomorrow?
What is this going to do?
Rebellion?
"Sir, could you please tell me what we are doing at Qinghe Store? It is too close to the capital city to cover up." Zuo Liangyu is not as cautious as Huang Degong, and he has an unusual relationship with Feng Ziying, so he just goes directly
Tiao Ming said: "Maybe I will be labeled as a mutiny and rebellion."
"Some people have already mutinied and rebelled. I asked you to go to prevent more people from getting involved in the rebellion and getting out of hand." Feng Ziying said calmly.
"Ah?!" Huang Degong, who had always maintained a calm expression, couldn't help but suddenly changed his expression, "Rebel? Who?"
Feng Ziying almost said "Your Majesty", but she also knew that it was inappropriate to say such a witticism, so she shook her head: "It's very complicated to say, and it's not a sentence or two. I will go with you, but I will only go with you for a while.
, I am going to Beijing, and I will tell you on the way that Brother You will lead most of the army to Pinggu soon, and He Renlong’s descending army is estimated to have arrived at Xianghe by now."
"Ah? Master You and the soldiers from Denglai Town are here too?" Huang Zuo and Huang looked at each other.
Even the most insensitive person knows that something big is probably going on in Beijing.
But Feng Ziying didn't say anything at this time, and they couldn't ask further questions. They had to order their troops to break up camp and set off.
The group of people quickly set off on the road.
It's actually not too far to drive from Shunyi to Qinghedian. It's almost the same as going to the capital city. After crossing the Yu River, we're almost there.
After crossing the Yu River, Feng Ziying had to break up with Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu.
After learning that their opponent might be Liu Wei's Xuanfu Army, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were both shocked.
"Sir, are you really going to start a war with the Xuanfu Army?" Besides, they are Feng Ziying's direct descendants. Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu are still a little worried. Once this kind of civil war begins, it will be hard to tell who is right and wrong in the end.
The king was defeated.
"What, are you afraid that you won't be able to defeat him?" Feng Ziying asked casually as she rode forward.
"That's not the case. We arrived first and have been to Qinghe Store. It's a flat river. But this is a small market town developed based on a post station. There are many houses that can be used as barriers to defend. Although Liu Wei's Xuanfu army has a considerable strength
It's several times more powerful than us, but your master ordered us to bring all the artillery. Even if we didn't bring the long-barreled heavy artillery, the squatting tiger cannon was enough for them to drink a pot. They came from far away, and they definitely couldn't bring the long-barreled heavy artillery.
, if they attack and defend, they will suffer."
Huang Degong regained his composure at this time.
Being a soldier and eating food is a life-threatening job in itself.
He followed Feng Ziying and rose to prominence. He was already promoted to the rank of general in his early twenties. Although he worked hard, there were so many lieutenant generals in the army who did not appreciate his talent. When would it be his turn to be a young boy?
Now it's just another desperate bet. If the bet is right, maybe I will be promoted to deputy commander in the next round. If I bet wrong, Mr. Feng will be in front of me. With Mr. Feng's character, he will naturally have to protect him.
He cares about the people below, so he is also happy.
"Hehe, didn't Brother Feng say that Sun Shaozu's Datong Army is still behind?" Zuo Liangyu laughed sinisterly, "I'm afraid Liu Wei never dreamed that a friendly army would be a fatal blow, right? The idiot who can't see the situation clearly deserves his misfortune.
ah."
"Liu Wei fought bravely and was considered a strong general in Liaodong, but his mind is too simple. It is not his blessing to get involved in such things." Feng Ziying shook his head and said: "Hushan, Kunshan, you have arrived
After Qinghedian, we need to quickly set up defensive positions and prepare for war. It will be slower for You Shiwei to lead his army. After all, he needs to integrate several units, and there is such a long distance. I guess it will be too late to catch up with Liu Wei and the others to preemptively strike.
, In addition, I still don’t know where the Denglai Army has gone, and it hasn’t been connected yet..."
"Don't worry, sir. Even without the support of Sun Shaozu's Datong troops, Kunshan and I can rely on Qinghe store for three to five days. I also want to see if Liu Wei's Xuanfu army is as famous as our Jizhen troops.
False reputation." Huang Degong looked like he wanted to fight.
"Hushan, I don't want to fight this war. Seeing that the foreign troubles have been eliminated and the country is at peace, it's time to consider how to stabilize people's livelihood and expand outward. However, something like this comes again, whether it is Ji Zhenjun or Xuan Xuan.
Whether it is the government army or the Datong soldiers, they are all the elite of our frontier army. If we fight, we will cause internal friction among ourselves, and those who die will be our great Zhou Dynasty men. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I do not want to set a precedent..."
Feng Ziying also expressed emotion, "But now that the pattern between Beijing and China has been broken, there will inevitably be a period of turmoil. No one knows what it will be like or what the outcome will be. Therefore, we have no choice but to maintain the necessary force and should use it at critical moments."
, I will not hesitate to use force."
Feng Ziying knew the thoughts of these warriors very well. If they don't fight, how can they get military merit? If they want to be promoted, how can they convince the public without enough military merit?
Whether it is a civil war or a foreign war, as long as we can fight, it will be fine.
These warriors are not that particular. Even if you want to force them not to start a war, it is still difficult, so the best way is to use their war-seeking thoughts on external conquests.
After crossing the Yuhe River, Feng Ziying, Jia Huan, Wu Yaoqing and others immediately flew to the capital city.
At this time, Feng Ziying no longer cared about any rules.
It is also an ordinary situation that people are not allowed to enter the capital without an edict. The situation in the entire capital city is currently unclear. Although the news from people like Dad and Feng Ziyi along the way can roughly outline a chaotic situation, the specifics are also a mystery.
It’s an unknown number, you have to go and see it in person to know.
What is the situation of the ministers in the cabinet now? Are the Seven Ministries and the Procuratorate still functioning? Or have they all been imprisoned or even wiped out?
Whether he can enter the city is still unknown, and he will have to go to the city to find out.
Feng Ziying knew that according to convention, the defense of the outer city was handed over to the Beijing Camp, and the internal work of the Beijing Camp was divided. The North City and South City were handed over to the Fifth Army Camp, and the East City and West City were handed over to the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp.
Because the south city includes two walls, the outer wall and the inner city, with the most gates. In comparison, there are only four gates on the east and west sides. This includes the east and west gates. Not counting the convenience gates, there are only three gates, while the inner city has only three gates.
There are only two doors in each city.
Naturally, Feng Ziying would not go to the north, but directly to the east.
The most convenient way is to take Dongzhimen.
Under the Dongzhi Gate, Feng Ziying saw that the gate had been closed a long time ago, and asked Jia Huan to go up and ask. She had not shown up for the time being, and she had to guard against any changes inside. Fortunately, she quickly figured out that it was still controlled by the people of Shenshu Yingma Jinbao.
