Chapter Seventy-Seven: Thunder Means

"Lao Wang, it seems that Lord Shen is planning to play a big game. Looking at the paper in his hand, there was a faint hint of excitement on Brother Erdan's face.

Shen Chongming had already made such a plan, and Brother Erdan knew that he only thought that according to the current situation, there was nothing to 'force' the adults to take this step again, but he didn't expect that this day would come.

"Lord Ma, Lord Shen ordered you and me to lead the army to the capital within five days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it." Wang Zhen scratched his head and said, at present, this place is not less than a thousand miles away from the capital, and it is too urgent to rush to this time within five days.

Brother Erdan smiled, but gave his opinion. "I said Lao Wang, and Lord Shen said the same. Now we have more than 50,000 soldiers and horses on hand, and the adults are not rebelling, so we can't use so many troops. Therefore, in my younger brother's humble opinion, let's order the cavalry and go straight to the capital, and 30,000 'elite' cavalry are enough to control the situation in the capital. ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhen couldn't help but high-five. "Master Ma, you can still see it!"

"Qi two adults, the official letter of the military department of the capital." As soon as the two of them decided what to do about this matter, the 'waiter' outside the tent walked in with a letter and said.

Brother Erdan's eyes froze, and he hurriedly took it apart and looked at it. It doesn't matter if you look at it, but Brother Erdan laughed. "Hehe, I see."

His appearance immediately made Wang Zhen interested, and he hurriedly said: "Master Ma, what did you say in the letter?" ”

"Hehe, a letter from the Ministry of War, let you and I lead the troops to Datong, and you must not be transferred by the cabinet, and the army cannot be transferred without authorization." As he spoke, Brother Erdan tore the letter in his hand to shreds with disdain.

"Where are the people who came to deliver the letter?" Wang Zhen pondered for a while and asked.

"Answering the people's words, the messenger of the military department came quickly, and the lowly official has ordered someone to take a few of them to dinner."

Wang Zhen smiled coldly and ordered: "When they fill their stomachs, they will find a name and arrest them all, and send them to Datong Mansion to be strictly guarded, and never let outsiders see them." After the big thing, let them out. ”

Shen Chongming has already begun to lay out in the dark, but Feng Bao and the others, who are anxious to collect evidence of his crimes, have no idea, listening to Shen Chongming's decent and suspicious life reported by the secret agents every day, Feng Bao and his people are becoming more and more unscrupulous.

In less than five days, Song Qingyang, who was in charge of collecting evidence of Shen Chongming's crimes, had enough 'evidence'. Among them, the most important is a 10,000-word book written by Wang Siming, who was in prison, for three days and three nights.

This 10,000-word book can be said to condense all of Wang Siming's hard work and the grievances accumulated in his heart, and it can be said that he has accused Shen Chongming's crime with tears. Among them, the most talked about is that Shen Chongming secretly bought off most of the generals in the counterinsurgency army, so that it was difficult to implement the general orders he issued every time, and after several analyses, he came to the conclusion that the reason why he did nothing when he was the governor of the counterinsurgency army was because Shen Chongming made an obstruction.

Not only that, but Shen Chongming's purpose for doing this is also outrageous. That is, to destroy the counterinsurgency plan previously designated by the imperial court, so as to achieve the goal of his comeback.

said it in such detail, and it was so reasonable, seeing how he could not be happy in Feng Bao's eyes, he stretched out his hand and praised: "Well written, this Wang Siming deserves to be the leader of the year, but he writes a good article." ”

"Father-in-law, with this thing brought to the court, he is speechless to judge Shen Chongming." Song Qingyang said with a smug face. "Without further ado, among our subordinates, taking advantage of the mourning of the first emperor tomorrow, we will use this thing to impeach Shen Chongming in front of the hundreds of officials of the imperial court and the nobles of the capital. When the time comes, plus the other things at hand, as long as this crime is confirmed, even Gao Gong will be powerless. ”

"Well, do as you say." Feng Bao nodded without thinking about it. "Since this is the case, then our family will go to Zhang Juzheng and the concubine Niangniang to discuss, if there is no help from the two of them tomorrow, it will never work."

Although the current Li Guifei is not the queen mother, she is also the hottest figure in the capital today. After all, his son became the emperor, even if he failed to sit on the throne of the queen mother in the end, he was a figure who stomped his feet and shook the world. And with this banner on his own, it is enough to make the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs follow him.

Feng Bao contacted the major event of preparing for a war against Shen Chongming tomorrow, but Shen Chongming also quietly went out of the city with Xiong Dabiao under the 'fine' dress.

Just last night, the information sent from outside the city showed that Wang Zhen and Brother Erdan had already led the men and horses to a place less than a hundred miles away from the capital. If he goes any further, he will be alerted to the guards, so he can only ask him to go out of the city to deal with this matter, so as to quietly enter the city and give the opponent a surprise blow.

Out of the city, Shen Chongming, who only brought a few 'guards', traveled all the way, and sent several official letters from the cabinet and the commander of the Jinyi Guard to the three major battalions.

This is his descendant, with the prestige of the past and this weighty official letter, the generals of all departments obeyed their orders, and immediately gathered people and horses to wait for Shen Chongming's generals to enter the city and capture the thieves.

As for the other men and horses who were also stationed around the capital, they were sent by Xiong Dabiao, the commander of the upper guard, while Shen Chongming selected a 'fine' man from the 3,000 battalions and followed him.

"Lord Xiong, suddenly summoned the last general and others to come, I don't know what happened?" The first general asked, and like the others, he also had a suspicious expression on his face.

Tomorrow, the first emperor will mourn, this is something that everyone knows, the Ministry of War has issued an official letter, ordering the generals of all departments to stabilize the morale of the army, and nothing can go wrong. Now that Lord Xiong suddenly came to convene the generals of all the departments to discuss the matter, it was a little difficult for people to understand what he was talking about, but he would not repeat the orders of the military department.

"Hehe, this official has been away from Beijing for a while, I don't know how the training of your subordinates is now, and I have free time today, so I came to take a look." Xiong Dabiao is full of nonsense, but he wants to see the performance of these guys in front of him.

According to Jinyiwei's reliable information, Feng Bao has come into contact with many generals of the Shangzhiwei in recent days, and although Xiong Dabiao is the commander of the Shangzhiwei, he is really a little unsure how many of these people have taken refuge in Feng Bao. After all, Feng Bao still dared to toss like this at this time, how could he have no confidence in his heart?

When he said this, naturally no one believed it. After all, at a time like this, who still has the heart to be busy with these things.

"My lord, yesterday the 'waiter' of the military department came in person and ordered me to wait for the next few days to guard the camp, and no one is allowed to leave the camp without an order from the military department. As for the soldiers' daily 'drills', because it was the period of the emperor's funeral, they were also ordered by the Dongchang factory governor Feng Gonggong to cancel all of them. A general stiffened his neck and said, Gonggong Feng's meaning is already very clear, Xiong Dabiao's days are no longer long, so naturally he doesn't have to worry too much about this stupid face.

"Since the founding of Taizu, this dynasty has set up rules. The military department only has the responsibility of raising troops, but has no right to transfer troops, and if you dare to serve a treasure, are you not afraid of the emperor's blame? Moreover, the guards only listen to the emperor's orders, and you dare to listen to the words of Feng Bao from just one Dongchang, haven't you forgotten Emperor Taizong's instructions? Shen Chongming, who had been standing behind Xiong Dabiao and watching coldly, suddenly spoke.

This guy is very good at dressing, and he hasn't 'appeared' in the capital for nearly a year, the general who was not very familiar with him didn't expect for a while that the guy in front of him who dared to say this would be Shen Chongming.

Even Xiong Dabiao's words dared to contradict the words, Shen Chongming, a person he didn't know for the time being, how could the generals present who had the benefits of Feng Bao not reprimand? At that moment, the general who was choked by his words said angrily: "Bold, this official and Lord Xiong are talking about major affairs in the court, how can you allow such a small 'attendant' guard to 'interject' at will?!" ”

"Smack!" With a loud bang, the table in front of Xiong Dabiao instantly fell apart with this sound, but it was smashed by his fist.

"The upper guards only obey the emperor's orders, and this official, as the commander of the upper guards, is the first emperor's holy decree to demote the commanders of the upper guards. As for the orders of this military department and Feng Bao's words, they will not work at all in my Shangzhiwei, if you are willing to obey them, don't blame this official for acting in accordance with the military law of Shangzhiwei. Xiong Dabiao's attitude was extremely tough, and he changed his past honesty, but he immediately shocked the generals present.

There was silence for a while, and suddenly someone slapped the case and reprimanded: "Lord Xiong, the new emperor is the new emperor, and the current rules are naturally a different matter." We are all men in the army, you don't have to hide what you have in mind, there is no need to use military law to scare me and other brothers, everyone doesn't eat this set. ”

The general's intention is obvious, that is, he doesn't want to be suppressed by Xiong Dabiao, otherwise it will be difficult to control the father-in-law's repeated 'handover' of the generation.

"Come on, take down this rebellion that disrespects military law!" At this moment, Shen Chongming suddenly drank. The situation is already obvious, no wonder Feng Bao dares to be so unscrupulous, it turns out that except for the three major battalions in this upper guard, the rest of the men and horses have already been controlled by him. can have today's results, but I am afraid that this old guy has begun to 'intervene' in the direct guard a long time ago, but he is very 'treacherous'.

It's a pity that I came prepared, so naturally I won't be afraid of these. It is expected that he, Feng Bao, is no different from others, and he just thinks that if he controls these generals, he can be regarded as completely controlling the Shangzhiwei. He didn't know that once he arrested all these generals, then this senior brother would still have the final say!

With such a loud shout, the soldiers of the 3,000 battalions who had already been lying in ambush immediately rushed in, each with a bow and crossbow, and before the generals could react, they were already surrounded by regiments.

The sudden change greatly surprised the generals present, and no one expected that Xiong Dabiao would come back with such a move.

The bow and crossbow pointed at it, even if these generals fought on the battlefield for many years, they didn't dare to act rashly, this thing is fast and ruthless, as long as the other party gives an order, none of these people will survive. So after a stalemate for a moment, more than a dozen former majestic Shangzhi Guard generals were tied up and escorted down one by one.

"Lord Commander, Tanma said that a cavalry with more than 10,000 numbers appeared a hundred miles west of the capital, and the banner should be the men and horses of the imperial court's border army, but for some reason it appeared in our defense area of the upper guard." Looking at the generals who were embarrassed and escorted out of the big tent, the young generals who came to report the military situation couldn't help but be a little unable to react. However, the habit is well cultivated, and the words in the mouth are very comprehensive.
