A few days later, Yu Qianjuan, the secretary of the military department, asked Emperor Jingtai to prepare for Liu Juntao, the chief military officer of Shandong Town, to lead his troops back to the station.

At this time, Emperor Jingtai had already achieved his greatest wish, and was concentrating on preparing to deal with the orthodox emperor of the Emperor Taishang to prevent future troubles.

Therefore, for Liu Juntao, the local chief military officer with real power, Emperor Jingtai did not intend to leave him near the capital, so he agreed to Yu Qian's request and ordered Liu Juntao to be given a lot of rewards.

After Liu Juntao received the order to withdraw from the military department, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately ordered two thousand heavily armored iron cavalry soldiers to set off in full gear, and left the Fengtai camp on the same day.

At the same time, Liu Juntao also sent someone to inform Xu Wei, the deputy general of the Fengtai battalion, Lu Changyi, the chief military officer of Changping Town, and Song Chonggui, the chief military officer of Miyun Town, and more than a dozen generals of various departments in Gyeonggi, and sent invitations to everyone, preparing to have a drink with everyone before leaving.

These people are all generals who have had close contacts with Liu Juntao during this period of time and have a good relationship between the two sides, and Liu Juntao wants to get together with everyone again before leaving.

Two days later, Liu Juntao set up a banquet in the camp outside Tongzhou City, but what Liu Juntao didn't expect was that among the dozen or so generals of the Gyeonggi Ministry he invited, only Xu Wei, the deputy general of the Fengtai battalion, Lu Changyi, the chief military officer of Changping Town, and Song Chonggui, the chief military officer of Miyun Town, came to the rest of the people for various reasons, and they didn't even show up, they all entrusted a few people to come to talk.

Seeing this, Liu Juntao understood what it meant to be a person walking tea cool, and now that the reorganization was completed, he was going to lead his troops back to Shandong, and these generals of the various departments in Gyeonggi immediately drew a line with themselves, for fear that they would be classified into their own party, and that they would be noticed by Emperor Jingtai and the Chinese official forces of the dynasty!

But after thinking about it, Liu Juntao was also relieved.

After all, he and everyone else are just ordinary friends, and even some generals are not even friends, so what can he ask of others?

For Liu Juntao, the fact that Xu Wei, the deputy general of the Fengtai battalion, Lu Changyi, the chief military officer of Changping Town, and Song Chonggui, the chief military officer of Miyun Town, were able to come to the banquet with great fanfare, which can already explain everything.

Liu Juntao is also glad that he was able to meet these friends during this time!

After everyone was seated, they were staggered and the guests of honor were happy, and they drank until midnight.

The liquor was almost drunk, and Xu Wei, the deputy general of the Fengtai battalion, said drunkly: "This time General Liu returned to Shandong, which can be regarded as jumping out of the sea of bitterness, unlike me and waiting, and I have to endure hard in this land of Gyeonggi!" ”

Song Chonggui, the chief military officer of Miyun Town, also sighed and said, "Yes! Now that the DPRK and China are in turmoil, I can't tell when the sky will change, which makes people surprise three times a day! ”

"What's three surprises a day?"

Lu Changyi, the chief military officer of Changping Town, said with a wry smile: "I now sleep in my clothes every night, for fear that when there will be a great change in the DPRK and China, I won't even have a chance to escape!" ”

The rest of the generals also lamented.

Liu Juntao was also silent when he heard this, although everyone is a leading general, but once there is a great change in the DPRK, the first thing that the powerful person will do is to carry out a purge of the army, otherwise he will never be at ease.

If the generals here can stand in line, with some luck, they may be able to survive unharmed.

Otherwise, everyone will lose their officials and go home, or they will be beheaded all over the house!

Looking at the decadent looks of everyone, Liu Juntao also sighed, several people here have some real skills, Liu Juntao makes friends on weekdays, not only to see his morality, but also to see his ability.

Among the generals of the various departments in Gyeonggi, although they are not the most capable of fighting, they are at least military generals who dare to fight and rush.

Therefore, Liu Juntao said in a deep voice: "Now that the situation is grim, if you have the heart to take a step back, you can resign and not do it, I can welcome you at any time in Shandong!" When the time comes, I don't dare to say anything about glory and wealth, but at least my life is worry-free and my future is promising! ”

When everyone heard this, they all hugged their fists and thanked them.

But Liu Juntao could also see that everyone's expressions were basically grateful, and no one was ready to leave Beijing and follow him to Shandong.

After all, to be able to get an official and a half position in various ministries in Gyeonggi, everyone has made great efforts and sacrifices, and when the mountains and rivers are exhausted in the end, everyone will never give up so easily, which Liu Juntao also understands very well.

Early the next morning, all the generals who had rested in the camp all left one after another, and Liu Juntao also sent everyone out one by one.

Then, Liu Juntao suddenly heard that Yu Qian had come to see him off, and hurried to meet him outside the gate.

After meeting, Liu Juntao welcomed Yu Qian into the camp to rest, but Yu Qian said: "Juntao, I won't go in, I'll talk to you here and leave." ”

Liu Juntao was slightly stunned, then nodded, retreated, and said separate words with Yu Qian outside the gate.

After talking for a while, Liu Juntao thought of Yu Qian's tragic fate after the restoration of the orthodox emperor, and couldn't help but persuade him again, wanting Yu Qian to go to Shandong Town with him.

But Yu Qian waved his hand and refused, very firmly.

"I understand Juntao's good intentions, but who has not died in life since ancient times? Since I am a human minister, I must not disregard the country for the sake of personal safety! I'm never going to go! ”

Speaking of this, Liu Juntao also felt a pain in his heart, opened his mouth, and found that he couldn't say anything.

Seeing this, Yu Qian smiled and said, "Jun Tao, I came today, in addition to seeing you off, I have something to tell you." ”

"Please give the order!"

Yu Qian paused, then stepped forward and said in a low voice: "If Your Majesty and the Emperor Taishang openly confront each other in the future, it will definitely shake the national capital for the Ming Dynasty, and even the two sides will split the 100,000 Gyeonggi garrison, and then let the war break out in the land of Gyeonggi!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was also shocked in his heart.

Although Liu Juntao knew very well that Emperor Jingtai and the Orthodox Emperor competed for the throne, and finally the Orthodox Emperor was successfully restored, there was no military disaster from beginning to end, but the civil and military ministers in the court were greatly implicated.

So Liu Juntao just didn't want to stay involved, and he didn't have too much anxiety and worry.

But at this time, hearing Yu Qian's words, Liu Juntao realized that the situation may have changed, and it may even have deviated from the original historical trajectory and began to become a little out of control!

Yu Qian has always acted steadily, since he said such a thing today, he must have heard something, so he came to find himself!

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao said in a low voice: "Does Bing Xian know something?" ”

Yu Qian shook his head and said, "I haven't heard anything, I'm just a little worried!" ”

Liu Juntao looked at Yu Qian's expression, wanting to see something from it, but then Yu Qian continued: "Juntao! You must promise me that once a war breaks out in the land of Gyeonggi, no matter whether you have received an order from the Ministry of War and the imperial court, you must immediately lead your troops north into Beijing, stabilize the land of Gyeonggi in the shortest possible time, and preserve the vitality of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent! ”

Hearing this, Liu Juntao was shocked, seeing that Yu Qian couldn't say a word, and the whole person stood on the spot.

After a while, Yu Qian got into the carriage and hurriedly returned to the capital.

Liu Juntao also ordered the army to go to the canal wharf immediately, prepare to load the army's supplies on the ship, and then follow the canal all the way south to return to Shandong.

On the way, Liu Juntao always thought about Yu Qian's words, and for a moment, Liu Juntao even thought that Yu Qian must have learned something from Emperor Jingtai or Shi Heng, the right governor.

"Could it be that Shi Heng, the governor of the right capital, gave up the method of coup d'état, and is preparing to carry out military advice to help the orthodox emperor restore the throne?"

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao felt more and more that it was very likely, now that the Gyeonggi garrison was in a neutral position, this was already a big threat to Shi Heng, so it was very likely that Shi Heng thought that the coup d'état was too dangerous, and instead began to dispatch troops and horses to prepare for military advice!

"Herald Intelligence Department! Immediately pay attention to the movement of troops and horses in various parts of Gyeonggi, and report any abnormal situation immediately! ”

Liu Juntao immediately gave an order to the night beside him, and the soldiers who did not accept the night also set off to give the order.

"If things are really as Lord Yu said, then the next historical trend will be completely out of control!"

Thinking of this, Liu Juntao suddenly had a sense of fear in his heart, a sense of fear of the unknown in the future.
