Chapter 515: The Emperor's Plan
Chapter 515: The Emperor's Plan
For example, in Huazhou, although Zhang Liang, Yang Da, Yang Shishi and others are in charge of the army, but the middle and senior officers under them are all under their command in regular procedures, and these officers are all veterans of Jiang Feng's personal battle in person, and they are loyal to Jiang Feng, and this army is naturally extremely strong in Jiang Feng's hands.
In Beijing, whether it is Emperor Jiajing or the ministers, they all know little about this truth, maybe the world has been peaceful for a long time, maybe these people just want to seize power, not to usurp the world of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, although the civilian officials used various methods to make the army obey their orders by transferring posts and blocking their salaries, they only did so.
In September of the twentieth year of Jiajing, the occupation of Zhangzhou City in Fujian Province was only a small problem for the bigwigs of the Beijing Division, not to mention that the 'Spanish army' in Zhangzhou City had not expanded to the outside world at all.
September 14 is Tang Mu Day, that is, it is similar to the current weekend, the bureaucrats either go home to rest, or have fun, each has its own arrangements, as for the people on duty, they are all lower-level officials, this is also the official has always been the rule. It's pitiful to say, the officials of the four provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, who are called the 'Western Party' and 'pedantic people' in the DPRK, are all these lower-level officials, and the biggest one has only achieved the position of a foreigner, and they are not too old. Because in the past, those who had reached a high position and were old in the west, they would be persuaded by the eastern party, which had an absolute advantage in the court, to persuade the emperor to kick back to his hometown on the grounds that "he is old, he has worked hard for the country all his life, and he should rest".
Hypocrisy and real ministers, the system in the world at this time is like this, without the participation of the cabinet scholars and the six scholars, all the decrees can not be decided and implemented, so in Tang Muri's time, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Ming government at this time is semi-paralyzed.
However, on this day, it was also a false story in the past, and the Western Party who didn't care about official business at all, and went home directly stayed at their posts. After some of the little eunuchs in charge of purchasing in the palace walked out of the palace gate, they all turned into eunuchs with holy decrees.
After all, the world is still the Zhu family, Emperor Jiajing's order is still called a holy decree, Zhou Lin, the governor of Jingwei, has always been the ancestor of the three Qing Dynasty, Tang Muri's day, of course, there is no need for people of his level to stay in the barracks, he gathered his six commanders and envoys in the mansion for a banquet.
Of course, the family banquet of the Admiral of the Imperial Forest Army is also full of delicacies, these martial artists are good wine people, and they have been peaceful in this place for a long time in Beijing, who will care if it is a foreign enemy attack, and everyone shouts five and six is elated. Zhou Lin also laughed and kept persuading him to drink. However, Zhou Lin knew in his heart that these six commanders were really his own people, and only Deng Hua brought by the Shaanxi Border Army was the only one, and the rest were all children of the Xungui family.
Those officers were so happy that they naturally didn't notice that Zhou Lin often looked at the door with his eyes, as if he was waiting for someone.
Suddenly, a shrill voice came from outside, "Holy Decree, Jingwei Admiral Zhou Lin takes the order!" ”
As soon as this voice came, the banquet that was still lively just now suddenly quieted down, and several commanders looked at each other with red faces, not knowing what was going on, if the current holy decree was not attached to the cabinet, it would not be carried out at all, and the emperor would not bother to find this boring.
Speaking of which, there has been no holy decree for several years, and several commanders are still in a daze, Zhou Lin and Deng Hua have already walked quickly to the door, and bowed respectfully, not long after, under the guidance of the Zhou family, a young eunuch walked in quite hesitantly, in the past, the eunuchs who passed the decree were all characters with a high status in the palace, and when they approached the minister's mansion, they had a heavenly atmosphere, and it would be like this.
Several drunken commanders glanced at each other, and they all stood up with some hesitation, after all, it was the admiral who had already knelt down, and it was not easy for him to stand like this, they were all kneeling behind Zhou Lin, and the little eunuch looked at these people kneeling down, this was to stabilize his mind, unfold the holy decree in his hand, and read aloud:
"Mukden Carrier ......"
These people at the bottom, either the emperor's cronies or the noble family, have also heard the holy decree read, every time it is a crepe words, to put it bluntly, these reckless people can't understand, this time the holy decree except for the first sentence "Fengtian carrier", the rest are the most white vernacular.
The simple meaning is to immediately detain three scholars and six scholars, who conspired to cause chaos and endanger the society. After hearing this, the last five commanders who knelt down were all stunned, but their reactions were also fast, and one person immediately stood up, pointed to the little eunuch who came to announce the decree and scolded loudly:
"This must be a false edict, you eggless bastard, the old scholars are the pillars of the imperial court, it's too late for the Lord to rely on them, how can he give an order to take people!"
Although the commander did not wear armor on his body, after all, he was born as a military general, and he had a bad spirit, and the little eunuch was obviously the first time to do such a thing.
The eunuch's behavior, the four commanders who were still kneeling there were all suspicious in their hearts, they all jumped up and scolded for being fake, shouting that the people in the courtyard were arresting this eunuch who was bold and unauthorized to pass on the edict, but what he didn't expect was that after shouting for a long time, none of the Zhou family's personal soldiers who were guarding around the courtyard moved, but looked at them coldly.
These commanders finally sensed that something was wrong and wanted to run, but they were already surrounded by groups, and the weapons on their waists had already been handed over when they entered the door.
There is a person who directly bent down and touched his boots, the key to caution is in a must to guard against the four words, although these military attaches of the Beijing division are not doing their business every day, but it is still basic common sense to hide a dagger for self-defense in the boots. But at this time, he didn't know a little common sense, and when he hadn't touched the dagger there, the Zhou family's soldiers, who had been prepared, stepped forward and kicked him down.
The remaining four people just wanted to scold angrily, but they saw that the surrounding Zhou Fu soldiers showed unkind faces, and they were surrounded by sharp blades in their hands, these soldiers were all selected in the Shaanxi border army and the Mongolian Tatar battle.
Zhou Lin, the governor of Jingwei, just put these people under house arrest, and didn't want to take their lives, because although these people were the minions of civilian officials, their families were all nobles in Beijing, and they held high positions in the army since the founding of the country.
"Deng Hua, you take the Jinbi Order Arrow to transfer troops into the city, and act according to the pre-consultation!"
Deng Hua took the arrow with both hands, respectfully agreed, and then turned around and went out on horseback and hurriedly ran towards the place where the barracks outside the city were located, here Zhou Lin also had 5,000 soldiers and horses in the Beijing Division, but in the past few years, Zhou Lin also knew that what he could control was 2,000 people, and most of the rest were mixed with sand.
However, in this Taiping Land of the Beijing Division, these two thousand people are enough to set off storms, not to mention those Beijing officers and soldiers outside the city.
The bigwigs of the Beijing division who were drinking and having fun at home suddenly heard the servants of the family talking about the movement outside, and a few of them were already quick to react, this was Emperor Jiajing's strategy, and the old tricks of the land inspection case were repeated, these bigwigs beat their chests and complained that they were careless, and they were still there to try their best to remedy it.
Most of the ministers of the Beijing Division live in Beicheng, and they gather together, and by the time they know the news, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp have already blocked this area and are not allowed to go out, but there are also a few people who let their henchmen run out, and now in this situation, the Beijing camp is no longer able to rely on, if the people who were placed in the past have a role, then these officers and soldiers will not be mobilized.
There is also a force that is the army of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, as long as this force is allowed to express its position, then it can also be announced that the actions of the Beijing camp are mutiny, and the thousands and hundreds of households of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are also cronies planted by the civilian officials, and it may be necessary to mobilize this force now, and there may be some action.
In this place where the ministers gather and live, there is a mansion that is very strange, it is deserted here, and there are soldiers and officials on duty, except for the people who deliver food, people are not allowed to enter and exit, today, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp directly drove the people guarding the door away, and brought out a person from inside, this person's face was a little haggard, but he still had a characteristic red face, and Lu Bing, who was imprisoned, was also released.
When the people who were lying on the wall to spy on the situation outside, they gasped in their hearts, and the tiger came out of the cage......
