"Your Excellency! Big things are wrong! Mutiny! Mutiny! The Forbidden Army has rebelled! ”
After several soldiers ran into the lobby, one of the leading 100 households didn't care about saluting, but just reported urgently. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After hearing the report, the faces of several feudal officials changed greatly, and they were all panicked.
Mutinies are a big trouble at any time, and now that the fire is sifting through the flames, it is even more troublesome to have a mutiny.
In particular, the location of the mutiny was still the Huamachi Battalion, the core of the border defense, and the soldiers of the forbidden army who mutinied were the main force of the Huamachi Battalion, and several feudal officials were surrounded by the chaotic army! There is no self-preservation!
This is another big event that is enough to alarm the government and the opposition, and once it is not handled well, the entire situation in the northwest will be completely eroded!
In a panic, Wang Zheng looked like he would faint at any time, and asked in a shocked voice: "Mutiny? Why was there a mutiny? ”
The person who reported was just an ordinary hundred, who was responsible for inspecting the camp tonight, and after seeing the mutiny, he hurriedly ran to the governor's palace to report, and he also didn't know the details, where could he answer Wang Zheng's inquiry? I just hurriedly shook my head to indicate that I didn't know.
On the other side, Zhang Wenhui said angrily: "Mutiny? It's the other way around! is so bold and reckless, aren't they afraid that the court will investigate and punish them afterwards? Didn't their leading generals stop it? Who led the rebellion? ”
The hundred households who reported the news still shook their heads blankly, not knowing how to answer.
Wu Min was originally not very bold, but now he lost his bearings, and just muttered to himself: "Why did there be a mutiny for no reason? It shouldn't be! It shouldn't be! ”
Compared with several feudal officials, Wang Gong is relatively calm, but his expression is also solemn, his eyes are constantly changing, and he is constantly thinking about countermeasures.
Seeing that several feudal officials only knew how to talk some useless nonsense and didn't grasp the key point at all, Wang Gong didn't care about the order of respect and humility, walked in front of a few people, directly interrupted their words, and asked the hundred households urgently: "Are you sure that the forbidden army reinforcements of the imperial court have mutinied?" And not the North-Western Frontier Army in the battalion? ”
This time, this hundred households finally had an accurate answer, and hurriedly nodded: "It is indeed a mutiny in the forbidden army, and it is all seen with his own eyes!" The mutiny began to spread from several forbidden army camps, and the soldiers who participated in the mutiny all spoke with a capital accent! The Northwest Frontier Army is now either driven around by the Forbidden Army, or locked in their respective camps, and has never participated in the mutiny! ”
Wang Gong's expression became more serious, and he asked again: "How many forbidden troops participated in the mutiny?" ”
The hundred households who reported the news hurriedly replied: "Dense and numerous, now the camp is full of forbidden troops participating in the mutiny, at least tens of thousands of people, according to the villain's guess, I am afraid that all the forbidden troops are involved in this mutiny!" ”
Wang Gong's face changed again, and he continued to ask: "What was the situation when the forbidden army mutinied?" Is it an orderly action? Or is it chaotic? ”
The hundred households seriously thought about it for a while, and replied: "The forbidden army is moving in an orderly manner, and the goal is also obvious, and now they are occupying various important places in the camp, and the border soldiers were about to rest, and they were caught off guard and had no power to resist, and the military depot, playground, and several border army camps on the left in the camp are now controlled by the forbidden army!" ”
Hearing this Baihu's explanation, several feudal officials finally noticed the abnormality of the matter, and faintly felt that things were not simple.
Wang Gong even came to a direct conclusion, turned to Wang Zheng and the others and said: "My lords, this mutiny is by no means so simple, but a rebellion committed below!" More than 15,000 forbidden troops attacked at the same time, and they acted in an orderly manner and with clear goals, obviously the soldiers of the forbidden army just obeyed orders! This was premeditated! And this matter must be inseparable from Guan Wuyuan, and only he has the ability to launch a rebellion against all the soldiers of the forbidden army! ”
Wang Zheng's expression became more and more flustered, and he said in a trembling voice: "Guan Wuyuan? I have always treated him as a guest, and I have always been responsive, so why did he lead the army to rebel? Without any warning, it is impossible! No way! ”
Seeing that Wang Zheng was still unwilling to face the facts, Wang Gong gritted his teeth and said: "Your Excellency Governor, no matter why Guan Wuyuan wants to lead the troops to judge chaos, our top priority now is to seek self-preservation, we should gather trustworthy border army soldiers to guard the Governor's Mansion as soon as possible, and confront the rebels of the forbidden army, and then find out the cause of Guan Wuyuan's rebellion, and it is not too late to negotiate at that time!" But if the forbidden army is allowed to control the entire Huamachi camp and suppress the northwest border army, we will be slaughtered! In the Huamachi camp, although the forbidden army has an advantage in numbers, the northwest border army also has as many as 10,000 people, and it is by no means so easy for Guan Wuyuan to completely control the Huamachi camp! Taking advantage of Guan Wuyuan's inability to control the situation, I hope that the Governor will make a decision as soon as possible! ”
After receiving Wang Gong's reminder, Wang Zheng finally came back to his senses and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Send someone to send an order to the chief soldier Shi Song, the deputy chief soldier Zheng Yu, the staff general Qian Bao, the garrison officer Bao Hongjie and others, as well as all the thousands of households of the Northwest Frontier Army, and let them immediately lead the troops to the governor's palace! Make sure there are no delays! ”
However, after hearing Wang Zheng's order, the hundred households who reported the news did not move, but his expression became more and more bitter, and he said with a crying voice: "Lord Governor, there is no way to pass the order, Guan Wuyuan set up a banquet in the forbidden army camp today, and invited all the leading generals of the Huamachi camp to the banquet, Lord Shi, the deputy chief soldier Zheng, the general Qian, the garrison officer Bao and them, as well as those thousands of households, are now all in the forbidden army camp, since the forbidden army mutiny, they have lost all news, I'm afraid that Guan Wuyuan has been placed under house arrest...... If it weren't for the lowly duty tonight, I would need to patrol the camp city, and I am afraid that I would also be under house arrest in the forbidden army camp! ”
After hearing this hundred households' answer, everyone present trembled and their faces became more and more pale!
Although Wang Zheng is the governor of the three sides, he also has to mobilize his troops through his generals.
Thinking of this, Wang Zheng's expression became more and more panicked, and he no longer had any ideas, but asked Wang Gong urgently: "All the generals are under house arrest by Guan Wuyuan, and now we can't mobilize the border army, what should we do?" ”
Things have developed to this point, and Wang Gong finally lost his calmness, panicked in his heart, and his expression was also faintly pale.
After a sharp turn in his heart, Wang Gong suddenly thought of something, and asked the hundred households who came to report the news: "Can the three city gates still be in the hands of the border army?" ”
This hundred households were slightly stunned, thought about it for a moment again, and then replied in an affirmative tone: "The rebels of the forbidden army did not storm the city gates, and the three city gates are still controlled by the northwest border army!" ”
Wang Gong immediately suggested to Wang Zheng: "In this case, we have no choice but to flee now!" The Governor's Palace is not well prepared, and if we continue to stay here, we will sooner or later be controlled by the Forbidden Army, so we might as well take the risk and flee to the city gate, and use the fortifications of the city gate to resist...... Well, the North City Gate has the most garrisons and the most heavily guarded, let's go to the North City Gate! If there is an emergency, simply give up the Huamachi camp and put your life first! ”
Wang Zheng has no idea now, and after hearing Wang Gong's suggestion, he only hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and agreed.
However, as several feudal officials were preparing to act, a few more soldiers ran into the lobby and hurriedly reported: "Your Excellency the Governor, your Excellency, something is wrong!" The Doge's Palace is surrounded by the Praetorian Army! ”
After hearing this report, Wang Zheng, as the dignified governor of the three sides, collapsed directly to the ground, and muttered, "It's over...... It's completely finished......"
It's not just Wang Zheng, like Zhang Wenhui, Wu Min and others, who are also desperate.
They didn't expect the forbidden army to move so quickly, and their attitude was so resolute, and they directly divided their troops to surround the Governor's Mansion before they could completely destroy the situation in the Machi camp.
In this way, they will not even have the possibility of escaping! The next thing can only be slaughtered!
*
And when several feudal officials were desperate in their hearts, Zhao Junchen at this time was still hiding in the room of the prison army Li Ru'an, completely ignoring the chaos and noise outside the room, just drinking tea with a leisurely expression, and talking to Li Ru'an without a match.
Li Ruan stood aside respectfully, showing an attitude of letting Zhao Junchen command.
"I heard that after the task of supervising the army on the three sides of Shaanxi and Gansu is over, the Imperial Horse Supervisor plans to arrange for you to go to the imperial study to run an errand, this is a good opportunity, you must take advantage of it!"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's encouragement, Li Ru'an lowered his head and said: "This is all because of Lord Zhao's secret support, if it weren't for Lord Zhao, Ru'an would not have been able to rise in the inner court so quickly." ”
Zhao Junchen smiled: "That's also your own ability...... To tell you the truth, in addition to you, I also arranged a lot of people in the inner court, and I also gave them secret support, but only you performed the best! ”
Li Ru'an still looked humble, and replied: "Lord Zhao is too famous, your help and support, Ru'an is in his eyes and in his heart, if Ru'an can control the inner court in the future, he will definitely repay him with all his might!" ”
"Take control of the Inner Court? Scold! Ruan, your ambition is not small! But it's not bad that you can have such ambitions, and if you can completely control the inner court, then it will be much easier for me to do things in the future...... Well, after returning to Beijing, I will hand you a list, all of which are the spies I have placed in the inner court in recent years, and prepare a few opportunities for you to make meritorious contributions, with these helps, I think your development will be faster! ”
Zhao Junchen said his assurance with a smile, but the corner of his eye was watching Li Ru'an's expression change attentively.
After hearing Zhao Junchen's promise, Li Ruan's face changed slightly, and he always felt that Zhao Junchen's arrangement seemed to be going all out to support him, but in fact, he also strengthened his control over himself.
However, Li Ruan quickly changed his expression of gratitude and saluted Zhao Junchen: "Thank you, Lord Zhao!" Ru'an will never live up to Lord Zhao's hopes. ”
Seeing Li Ru'an's performance, Zhao Junchen nodded with satisfaction.
Li Ru'an now has signs of rising, so Zhao Junchen has to control him in another way.
handed over a part of the spies he had planted in the inner court to Li Ru'an, Li Ru'an certainly strengthened his strength, but in addition to reusing these people, Zhao Junchen also strengthened his surveillance of Li Ru'an! As for the opportunity for the so-called "meritorious service", it is just for Li Ruan to suppress the hostile forces in the inner court for Zhao Junchen, and it can further strengthen Li Ruan's dependence on himself.
Of course, Zhao Junchen will naturally not say these considerations clearly.
Just when Zhao Junchen was about to say something more, Guan Wuyuan hurriedly entered the room and reported to Zhao Junchen: "Lord Zhao, something is wrong!" After the lowly post put many generals under house arrest in the Huamachi camp, the private soldiers under their command kept clamoring, demanding that the lowly post release those generals as soon as possible, otherwise they would rush into the forbidden army camp to save people! Because of Lord Zhao's orders, the soldiers of the forbidden army did not dare to easily move with them, and the situation has been deadlocked, but those private soldiers have gradually become impatient, and they will fight with the forbidden army at any time, and it is precisely because of the resistance of these people that the soldiers of the forbidden army have been unable to control the situation in the Huamachi camp for a long time, if they have not been able to solve the resistance of these private soldiers, the situation in the Huamachi camp will get out of control sooner or later! ”
After hearing Guan Wuyuan's report, Zhao Junchen sighed and said: "It's not surprising that these private soldiers are not loyal to the imperial court, but only loyal to their direct generals. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Junchen stood up and walked towards the outside of the room, and said at the same time: "In this case, I should personally go and meet the generals of the Huamachi Camp, if you want to completely control the situation in the Huamachi Camp, after all, you must first control these local snakes!" It's time to show off my status! ”
After seeing Zhao Junchen's decision, Li Ruan and Guan Wuyuan hurriedly followed.
After leaving the room, Guan Wuyuan asked again: "Lord Zhao, the lowly position has already caused people to surround the yamen of the Governor's Mansion, and several feudal officials have all been controlled, when do you plan to meet them?" ”
Zhao Junchen shook his head and said: "This matter is not in a hurry, this is a military town camp city, as long as the military power is controlled, it doesn't hurt that those civilian officials will pay attention to it later, they can't make too big waves, and now they are still mainly controlling those military generals!" ”
As they spoke, the three of them were already walking in the direction of the forbidden army camp.
In the camp of the forbidden army, the generals under house arrest are in a different situation.
