Chapter 638: This is to play with the Civil Fort
Half an hour later.
"King, Feng Quan has recruited."
Xu Xianchun, who was covered in blood, put a confession in front of Yang Xin and said.
King Zhennan nodded in satisfaction.
"They did recruit the king of Hue to go south, but by forged decree.
It can't be regarded as a forgery, Feng Quan drafted a decree in the cabinet, saying that it was 9,000 years old to recruit the Hue royal department to go south to reinforce Lu Xiangsheng, and then Lu Xinchen, the celebrant supervisor, took advantage of the fact that 9,000 was busy with His Majesty's illness, and directly secretly stamped it with the jade seal. They bypassed the military department, and the military department gave the person who was Sun Ge Lao in the matter, and going to the military department was equivalent to telling Sun Ge Lao, and they directly sent the holy decree to the Li Fan Yuan.
Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the Li Fan Academy, should have known but pretended not to know, and he sent this holy decree to Chahanhot without mentioning it to anyone.
He is a native of Daizhou, Shanxi, and must have colluded with those Jin merchants for a long time.
The king of Hue had already been contacted by the Jin merchants.
He has been defeated again and again over the years, not only suffered heavy losses but has almost become a laughing stock, so he has been dormant waiting for an opportunity, and has long thought that if he can enter Beijing and take the opportunity to make a profit, not only can he regain his prestige, but his men will not have to starve in the grassland.
But he needed something that would soothe the Mongol vassals along the way.
After all, he had to pass through the territory of the thirty-six families of Harashen and the Mantao people when he went south, and these people all had old enmities with him, and if he forced his way through, then these people would ask the court for help, and then he would not be able to keep it secret.
He had to lie to these people.
This is what this decree does.
At this time, the king of Hue should have been outside the Great Wall when he went south with the claimed 100,000 cavalry.
But it's not thistletown.
The king of Hue was afraid that he would not be able to open the Jizhen section of the Mangui defense, so he went to Xuanfu, and the governor of Xuanfu, Hong Chengchou, had colluded with Feng Quan, knowing that he had arrived and deliberately did not report to the capital, at this time the army of the king of Hue should have been hidden in a valley around Xuanfu. King Xin should know this, Huo Weihua should have gone to the King of Hue to move troops, and King Xin has this kind of courage, thinking that it is relying on this strange army, in the final analysis, Li Lingzhi is dizzy. ”
Xu Xianchun said.
"This is to play the civil fort set!"
Yang Xin exclaimed.
This can understand their courage.
Lin Dan Khan is their backhand, once Lu Xiangsheng does not do what they want, then let Lin Dan Khan enter the customs under the banner of reinforcements, as long as Hong Chengchou of Xuanfu participates, then Lin Dan Khan can easily come to the capital.
An army of 100,000 is an exaggeration.
But with Lin Dan Khan's current ability, it is no problem to put together 20,000 rides.
He was originally the strength of 40,000 horsemen, and the wild boar skin ridiculed him for being a country of less than 30,000 people, although it was ridiculed, but it was not much worse, and the last time he lost nearly 10,000, he was divided by Zhongshun and took 10,000 horsemen alone, and the current strength of 20,000 cavalry is left. However, he had a close relationship with Doyan's Subudi, whose pastoral area was next to the Western Liaoning Corridor and was the most powerful in the Mongolian system in the mountainous region north of the Great Wall. He had been made an earl by the Apocalypse, and he had always been dissatisfied with this, and if he was lured into joining Lin Dan Khan's group, the latter's total strength might be close to 30,000.
In short, a total of 20,000 to 30,000 Mongol cavalry has been hidden among the mountains outside the Great Wall, just like in the time of Tumubao.
Hong Chengchou, the governor of Xuanfu, must know.
But he also pretended not to know like the Xuanfu general soldier at the time of Tumubao.
"What shall we do?"
Xu Xianchun said cautiously.
"You prepare everything immediately, meet Cao Wenyao early tomorrow morning, and then take Feng Quan and their confessions to Chengtianmen to ask the queen to come forward, and expose their crimes of killing the king to the queen. I have already contacted the queen, she will come forward, and then whoever obstructs it will be their comrade, Cao Wenyao will help you solve it, in short, it will not work if the nine thousand years old come out to obstruct it.
First make this king-killing conspiracy public.
Then they said that they still have a bunch of henchmen who have not yet been caught, and asked the queen to authorize you to continue the investigation of this case.
and summoned me to Beijing.
The reason is that they are afraid that these rebels will continue to poison His Majesty.
I'll go to Man Gui and transfer his subordinates to Beijing to prepare to meet Lin Dan Khan. ”
Yang Xin said.
His plan was to interrogate Feng Quan's confessions, and then Cao Wenyao and Xu Xianchun would take the mounted police team and some Jinyi guards to publicly go to Chengtianmen to report to Zhang Yan, and then Zhang Yan would come forward and make the murder case public in this way. Then Zhang Yan authorized Xu Xianchun to take Jinyiwei to investigate, and at the same time summoned him to Beijing on the grounds that there was still an opposition party hiding in the capital, but with Lin Dan Khan's southward movement, this reason was more sufficient, and the opposition party had colluded with foreign ministers and was ready to endanger Sheji by force.
King Zhennan had to go north in this case.
The people of the capital will welcome it, but in the end, Lin Dan Khan's identity is different.
And Zhang Yan's identity is enough to get support, anyway, Tianqi is seriously ill, and the situation is not good, that is to say, her son is ready to succeed to the throne, so she, the queen mother who has been decided, has the right to come out and preside over the overall situation in order to save her husband at this time, anyway, as long as Cao Wenyao's 3,000 cavalry supports her, basically no one dares to oppose in this capital, who is afraid of with a knife in hand.
Whoever opposes it is Feng Quan's fellow party, and then Xu Xianchun directly took Jinyiwei to arrest him.
In short, it doesn't matter here anymore.
The most important thing now is to block Lin Dan Khan, if 30,000 Mongolian cavalry soldiers are coming to the city, and someone inside opens the door for them, it will be difficult for Cao Wenyao's 3,000 cavalry and patrol team to resist.
Even the Yang family employees in the city are not enough.
The point is that someone must have opened the door.
Including whether Sun Chengzong will resist is also difficult to say, Lin Dan Khan came and there is no possibility of occupying or leaving, at this time it is not the era when the nomadic cavalry can enter the Central Plains, Lin Dan Khan dares not to go, it is nothing more than to transfer Sun Chuanting to the south. Sun Ge Lao will not worry about this, and in the end it is just a reward for spending some silver, but Lin Dan Khan's southward movement can help the northern gentry and enhance the strength of the northern gentry when facing the king of Zhennan, so someone will definitely open the city gate for Lin Dan Khan.
It is necessary to recruit a cavalry full of Gui.
Not only Mangui's, but even the Yang family's family in Xincheng should also enter Beijing, the strength of the 30,000 Mongolian cavalry is not weak, and it will also be supported by the gentry, Mangui's 20,000 people cannot be transferred, after all, you have to be careful that someone outside the Great Wall takes advantage of the fire to rob.
It is difficult to say whether the Xuanfu army in Hong Chengchou's hands will go south together.
Xu Xianchun nodded.
He really doesn't have any problems here, as long as there are Cao Wenyao's 3,000 cavalry, he basically does whatever he wants in this capital, although there is also a patrol team that is not necessarily a group, but most of the patrol team is recruited by local military households, and these people also like the return of King Zhennan, in the final analysis, in this city, King Zhennan is more popular than those officials.
And Zhang Yan's addition solves the rest, when the emperor can't be a director, it is most reasonable to listen to the prince and the prince's words.
Whoever opposes it is against the party.
Whoever opposes it will be arrested and put in prison.
"What should Sun Zhiqi do?"
He asked.
"Isn't he dead yet?"
Yang Xin said unexpectedly.
"King, our executioner is a craft that has been passed down from generation to generation, and if he is cut to death in half an hour, he will have no shame to see his ancestors."
Xu Xianchun said with a smile.
"Throw it out and leave it alone!"
Yang Xin said very simply.
Poor Sun Zhiqi was then thrown out like a half-flaked duck by the brocade guards, and these bastards blocked his mouth to prevent him from screaming too loudly to expose his target, and he could only lie on the cold mud like a worm, wriggling while waiting for his blood to drain.
Except for Feng Quan, who was escorted out later, no one else even looked at him.
Feng Quan didn't dare to look at him.
After all, Scholar Feng was less than a meter away and watched him become like this.
Scholar Feng, who was not a strong-willed scholar in the first place, was forced to have a nervous breakdown, said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and even wrote a confession by himself.
At this time, Scholar Feng definitely didn't have the courage to look at this good friend again, from Sun Zhiqi, he could already see his future, as for those Jinyi guards who came and went, they also turned a blind eye to Sun Hanlin, saying that none of these executioners had killed a few people, Sun Hanlin's appearance was no different from a wild dog that was run over by a carriage on the side of the road.
Yang Xin did not delay any longer, and then set off for Santun Camp.
He's on a tight schedule.
Huo Weihua has been walking for a day, and he is afraid that he has already arrived at Juyong Pass at this time, if Lin Dan Khan is hiding outside the pass, he will be able to arrive almost tomorrow at most, and Lin Dan Khan's cavalry will set off immediately and go south to the capital for three days. And even if he goes to Santun Camp today, Man Gui needs to gather troops stationed at all mouths of the Great Wall, and he can't finish it without two or three days......
His 20,000-strong army is not all on standby in the Santun camp.
At this time, the general army of Shanhaiguan has been withdrawn.
The entire northern line of the Great Wall belongs to the general army of Jizhen as in the past, from Shanhaiguan in the east to Changping in the west, including Juyong Pass, but the governor of Shuntian moved from Zunhua to Miyun, so he actually can't control a few passes in the west. At this time, the governor of Shuntian was Liu Zhao, a native of Henan, if Huo Weihua took Lin Dan Khan south, and Hong Chengchou of Xuanfu stayed out of the matter, then he was almost certain that he would open the gate, in the final analysis, these officials and gentry in the north were unanimous on this issue.
Man Guihua gathered the army in two days, and it took another three days from Santun Camp to the capital, and in the end the time taken by both sides was almost the same, and he would fall behind if he delayed a little.
Yang Xin's goal was a volley.
He could not let Lin Dan Khan's army come to the capital.
Once Lin Dan Khan preemptively arrives in the capital, he will almost certainly enter the city with the help of Neiying, in which case things will be very troublesome, and the damage caused to the capital will also be great.
I have to say that these guys made him very sudden.
