Chapter 931: Take control of the Guangqu Gate

Rushing to the gate of the Guangqu Gate of the Beijing Division was the vanguard of the Guanguan Entry, all of which were infantry, artillery, and engineers, with a total number of 6,000 and more than 300 large and small anti-aircraft guns.

Among the leading generals were Sun Yuanhua, Li Weiluan, Xiang Zuolin and more than a dozen former Ming civil and military officers.

The purpose of Huang Han's arrangement is self-evident, that is, to let the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty see that following the "King of Han" can gain fame and fortune.

The guard of Guangqu Gate in the outer city is only a real commander, surnamed Zhang, and his soldiers are not even 300.

In order to flatter the "King of Han", he directly let these six or seven thousand guest soldiers with hundreds of anti-aircraft guns enter the city, and now these "Red Banner Army" are also stationed in the outer city.

Chongzhen's character of bullying the soft and fearing the hard was exposed, Liu Zhilun, Fang Zhenghua, Zhou Yuji, Chen Gao, etc. had 60,000 horses in hand, they did not obey the order to return to Beijing, and the emperor could only choose to endure it.

A thousand general managers guarding the city gate dare to be presumptuous with less than three hundred men and horses, where is Chongzhen willing to let go, and ordered Ti Cai to arrest him, waiting for the fate of this thousand general manager to estimate that the head is on the ground.

On the occasion of employing people, how could we let the Ming army generals who helped the "Red Banner Army" suffer unwarranted disasters.

As soon as Jin Yiwei received the task of arresting the dereliction of duty, the news leaked, and the flag guard transferred Zhang Qianzong's family members as quickly as possible, so that Zhang Qianzong directly changed into the clothes of the chief flag officer of the "Red Flag Army" and stationed in the "Red Flag Army" camp in the city that never sleeps.

When Tiqi arrived in the outer city, Zhang Qian's family had already gone to the empty building, and Chongzhen was furious when he learned the news, and asked Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and Wucheng Soldiers and Horses to jointly search and arrest.

It's a pity that three days have passed, and there has been no progress, Li Ruolian and Cao Huachun personally entered the palace and truthfully returned, and there were 10,000 small "Red Banner Army" troops stationed around the city that never sleeped.

All of them were heroes who returned from the bloody battle in Liaodong, and they were so angry that their subordinates did not dare to offend, so the entire city that never sleeps was searched.

The implication is that even fools can hear it, that Mr. Qian was protected by the people of the "King of Han".

The short-tempered Chongzhen trembled with anger, but there was nothing to be done, Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua's men and horses refused to come back, and the number of men and horses who could fight in the Beijing division was probably not as large as the "Red Flag Army", and the consequences of the conflict were unimaginable.

There was no way, Chongzhen could only choose to endure again.

Li Ruolian and Cao Huachun sighed in their hearts when they saw the emperor like this, one of them controlled the Jinyi Guard, and the other managed the East Factory.

They were scared, because the emperor really recklessly acted with the "Red Banner Army", and they had to bite the bullet.

After all, they have been favored by the emperor for many years, so how can they retreat at a critical juncture, and whether they can succeed is another matter.

Attitude determines everything, and we must always lead our men and horses to be defeated by the "Red Banner Army", and we cannot take the initiative to surrender and lose our integrity and be spurned.

However, the angry emperor just lost his temper and confessed after smashing a few tea bowls and vases.

Cao and Li glanced at each other, silently withdrew from the imperial study, Wang Chengen didn't say a word, waved his hand, and several little eunuchs began to tremble and clean up the porcelain pieces all over the ground.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Cao Huachun warmly invited Li Ruolian and said: "Lord Li, our family is not happy and wants to drink some wine, how about we go to the city that never sleeps and get drunk?" ”

To a large extent, the East Factory was born to supervise the Jinyi Guard, and the successive generations of factory governors and Jinyi Guards commanded the envoys to fight openly and secretly, and it was best not to get along with each other in old age, how could there be a reason to meet and drink alcohol.

Li Ruolian hurriedly shirked and said: "Factory father, this is not good, people are terrible!" There are many eyes and ears here, and it is inevitable to give people a handle, or make an appointment another day. ”

Cao Huachun, who had a plan in his heart, said: "What's the use of having more ears and eyes? You and I both know that guy is in the city that never sleeps, so what can we do? Hehe, our family knows that you have a lifelong friendship with 'King Han', and you don't have to worry about retreating. We're not afraid, what are you worried about? ”

Li Ruolian hurriedly explained: "Xiaguan fought with the 'King of Han', but at that time, he was serving the imperial court, and he was fighting Jiannu. If anyone dares to rebel, the lower officials don't care who he is. ”

"Okay, okay, is there anyone else here, these words are still left for the emperor to hear, coax him to be happy! Mingren doesn't say dark words, did you reveal the news and let that guy run away? ”

"No, absolutely not, the lower officials are still speculating whether the people from the factory have leaked the news!"

"It's not you!" Cao Huachun was skeptical.

"It's really not, the lower officials can swear to the sky."

Li Ruolian really dared to swear, because he really didn't report the news, but he didn't pay attention to secrecy, and as soon as he received the task, he conveyed the order to Jinyiwei Tongzhi, President Qian, and more than 20 people, and it dragged on for half an hour when he assembled.

Even he didn't know which one directly offered his favor to the "Red Flag Army", and he had been pondering Lou Yun, You Cunqing, and Zhang Chao about the generals who were close to the "Red Flag Army", guessing which one it was.

Cao Huachun said: "Our family was going to get drunk with Lord Li and talk about private matters by the way, but unfortunately Lord Li refused to appreciate his face!" ”

This was said seriously, Li Ruolian hurriedly said: "It's better to be so respectful than to obey!" Husband Cao, please! ”

The two of them came to one of the eight major restaurants in the city that never sleeps, and the drunken fairy building, which focuses on Huaiyang cuisine, asked for a private room to drink and talk about things.

It turned out that Cao Huachun felt that "it is difficult to be a person, it is difficult to be a person", so he was ready to retreat bravely, and he was ready to ask the emperor for permission to allow him to take leave and return to his hometown to recuperate.

Cao Huachun has served Chongzhen for many years, knowing the temperament of this master, Dongchang has been ineffective recently, and it is difficult for him, the factory governor, to blame him.

Sure enough, the next day, Cao Huachun was allowed to take a vacation, and the position of factory official fell to Wang Chengen.

It is rumored that Cao's husband resigned because of the official who shielded the crime.

They are all talking about the "Red Banner Army" making too much noise, and even the factory duke has been hanged, and the emperor is afraid that he will take some measures.

However, the "Red Banner Army" did not stop there, and Yang Danian asked to take over the defense of the outer city on the grounds that the combat effectiveness of the people and horses in the capital was weak and useless.

It is clear that the "King of Han" has killed millions of enemies, and the enemies are more than 100,000, how can the palace not be properly protected? Before the "King of Han" returned to Beijing, he had the responsibility to make preliminary preparations to ensure that the "King of Han" was foolproof.

Yang Danian didn't care whether the emperor agreed or not, and directly sent a general infantry to control Guangqumen, this general soldiers were all orphan soldiers, who did not recognize the emperor but only the head of the family, and their loyalty was impeccable.

Immediately, the two thousand infantry controlled all the roads from Guangqu Gate to the city that never sleeps, and adopted the mode of three shifts to maintain law and order around the clock, and in the future, the "Red Banner Army" entered and exited the outer city unimpeded, and the rule that the city gate was not allowed to be opened at night would be ignored.
