As the capital of the Ming Emperor and the residence of the Son of Heaven, the security and defense of Beijing City is naturally the most important in the world, and even from a certain point of view, the defense of the capital is even worse than the nine border towns.

This is not only reflected in the height of the city of Beijing, but also in the military horses of the Beijing camp guarding the city. There are not only people from all walks of life who manage local security, such as the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, but also nearly 100,000 elite soldiers and horses, all of which are selected from various states and counties in the world, and even border fortresses.

And among the 100,000 elites, there are three battalions of the Beijing Division that are the most elite among them. These three battalions are the Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion, and the Fifth Army Battalion.

Among them, the Shenji Battalion belongs to the most special army in this era, not only has strong ordinary combat capabilities, but also is equipped with all kinds of advanced firearms that are rare in this era, which can be regarded as a special force in the Ming army. The 3,000 battalion is the only powerful army in the Ming Dynasty that is completely composed of cavalry, although it is called 3,000, but the number of troops has reached tens of thousands so far.

As for the last five military battalions, although they are somewhat ordinary compared with the other two battalions of military horses, the full battalion has both cavalry and foot soldiers, which looks not much different from ordinary troops, but it is the backbone of the defense of the Beijing Division, and it is even more than the other two battalions combined in terms of strength.

For the soldiers of the world, it is a great honor to be able to enter these three major battalions. Because it means that you have become the best of the millions of armies in the world, and your reputation and treatment are far higher than any other army.

In the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the five military camps, they are the strongest in the world, and that pride and pride were established from the original team that was established with the continuous conquest and meritorious service of Emperor Yongle, and it seems that it will never fade. But today, when they saw this border army from Datong, their pride was a little incomparable.

Although there were only more than 1,000 people in the barracks, the iron blood and killing aura exuded from them were by no means comparable to those troops who were just practicing on weekdays but could not really devote themselves to actual combat. Even if their knives and guns have long been put away, they still give people a strong oppressive force.

What was even more frightening was the dozens of carts of the Tartars that were pushed by the border army, as well as the dozens of prisoner carts loaded with Tartar prisoners. This is a real achievement, which these soldiers in the comfortable city of Beijing cannot appreciate.

When many people looked at the border army, their eyes couldn't help but flash with respect and envy, and some even showed a little jealousy. Let's ask, who doesn't want to make meritorious contributions to the court, and in the confrontation with the enemy, he can make great achievements for the imperial court, and then he can boast of his merits to the people of the world?

It's a pity that these people, who think they are the most elite in the Ming army, have almost no chance to have such an opportunity. Because their duty is to guard the capital and protect the Son of Heaven. Unless today's sons are like Emperor Taizong a few decades ago, it is impossible for them to step half a step away from the capital, let alone make any contributions.

Under the watchful eyes of tens of thousands of soldiers from the five military camps in the battalion, Wang Bing led more than 1,000 people to finally settle in the barracks. Then, of course, it was to meet the generals here, and it was not until all these tedious things were done that they could really rest.

Just as Wang Bing wanted to talk to Lu Jin, who had entered the camp with him, about the problems of the brocade guards he had just taken, someone from outside came to report, saying that the military department and the governor's mansion had sent people to inspect the heads and prisoners.

This point is naturally the meaning of the topic, and before letting them go to His Majesty to offer their victory, they must always carefully examine all the boasting things they have brought. If it is finally discovered that these heads or prisoners are all forged by their border army, then the face of the court will be lost.

On this point, Lu Zhen and Wang Bing didn't dare to be careless, so they hurriedly put everything else aside, greeted them out first, and then accompanied the officials who came on order to inspect the relevant things.

In fact, this inspection is not too difficult, because the appearance of the Mongolian people is still different from that of the Han people, and after careful identification, the distinction can be made. Therefore, they can quickly confirm that this time the border army is not killing good and risking merit, and using the heads of the people of the Ming Dynasty to pretend to be Tartars.

In addition, although these heads have been processed, their faces can still be clearly seen, thus confirming that they are all young and strong men. This proves that they are not old and weak Namonites to cheat the merit.

When all this was discovered, those officials became a little closer to Wang Bing, and only after saying a lot of words of admiration and congratulations did they take people away. And then, all these border troops have to do is to wait, and wait until the fifth day of the first lunar month, when the court meeting will be held, they can offer victory to the Son of Heaven.

However, after this busy time, most of the day passed, and it was already afternoon. Wang Bing glanced at the barracks on the side with some hesitation and said, "My lord, won't there really be any trouble doing this?" ”

"What's the trouble? None of them had time to reveal their identities. What's more, after the fifth day of the first lunar month, we can go back, can he still run to the barracks to attack us? Lu Zhen smiled disapprovingly. This is where his confidence lies, after all, the barracks are different from other places.

Although Jin Yiwei is arrogant and domineering in the capital, he looks like a ghost that no one dares to provoke. But in fact, they still have someone they can't afford to provoke, and that is these Jingying armies.

Although they are in the same court, there is always a natural gap between the army and the officialdom, and he is more united internally, even if he is a factory guard, if he wants to attack the people in the barracks, he has to weigh the results. Maybe one decision to go down is to poke a hornet's nest. And if it really makes the army dissatisfied, then even the Son of Heaven has to shoot at the factory guard for the sake of the overall situation.

Another key point is in terms of strength, but the Jinyi Guards of thousands of people are not the opponents of the 100,000-strong Jingying. So in many things, they deliberately avoided the army. Of course, this is also because at the moment, the status of the military generals is quite high, which makes the factory guards fearful, and if it is replaced by a few decades, the situation will be completely different. At that time, even if they were bullied, the people of Jingying could only swallow their anger.

Seeing that Lu Jin was sure, Wang Bing didn't ask any more. In fact, he naturally hoped to help Lu Zhen in his heart. Judging from the results, this approach has really helped Lu Jin.

When the Datong border army entered the Fifth Army Camp, the news that Jinyiwei was taken by them had already reached Ma Shun. This news made Ma Dudu really stunned for a long time, because such a situation had never happened before, which really caught him off guard.

In the past, I had only heard of the Jinyi Guard's people questioning people for no reason, but no one dared to blatantly take down the Jinyi Guard. Today's event is truly unprecedented!

After being stunned, Ma Shun's face became full of anger: "How can this be reasonable, are they going to rebel?" Even the pro-army of the Son of Heaven dared to offend and arrest him casually! ......Embarrassed, his first thought was to gather people and horses to arrest people.

But before he could open his mouth, some of his subordinates reminded him urgently: "Think twice, they have entered the barracks of the Fifth Army, and our people can't enter there......"

As soon as he heard this, the command that came to his lips was immediately swallowed back by Ma Shun. But in this way, his face became more and more ugly: "It's all a bunch of waste, and it will be taken away by someone in turn, it's really a shame for my Jinyiwei!" At this point, he could only vent his anger with his own men.

When others saw that he was angry, they could only claim that they were right and did not dare to refute it. Then, Ma Shuncai had a gloomy face: "Then what should you do about this?" ”

"The only way to do this is to negotiate with them first. After all, it's about my Jinyiwei's face. A thousand households carefully gave advice.

"Is it to let the Governor of Pontus show weakness to Lu Jin?" Ma Shun asked coldly.

The subordinates were silent for a while, but they acquiesced. And after Ma Shun snorted coldly, he didn't have a good seizure. Because he knew that this was really the only solution to the current problem. Otherwise, if the matter really spreads, then Jinyiwei will not only lose face, but also be impeached.

Although Jinyiwei, who is now backed by the prince, is not afraid of being impeached, this kind of humiliating thing is still rare. Because there's an east factory watching on the side.

After thinking about it, he really couldn't come up with a better way, so Ma Shun had to pinch his nose and admit the matter. Fortunately, they also judged that Lu Jin's purpose in doing this was just to ensure his own safety, so as long as Jin Yiwei promised not to attack him again, they should not cause more trouble.

And the results of subsequent private contacts also proved this. However, Lu Zhen obviously wouldn't believe Jinyiwei's promise, so he didn't put the person back after the agreement. And only said that after everything is settled on the fifth day of the first month, he will release people.

For such a result, although Ma Shun was angry, he was helpless, and finally could only back down and agree again.

So, after detaining more than a dozen brocade guards, Lu Zhen not only did not bring any trouble to themselves, but eliminated all possible problems. In the following days, although Lu Zhen walked around the capital, he no longer needed to think about his own safety. Even in order to ensure his safety, the Jinyi Guard had to secretly send some people to protect him, which could not but be said to be a victory.

It was in this delicate antagonistic relationship that two days passed quickly in the blink of an eye. Soon, the day of the five major pilgrimage meetings in early February finally arrived.

After the fourth watch of the day, not only the officials who participated in the court meeting were concerned about these border troops from Datong, but even the ordinary people were concerned about this matter......
