Chapter Forty-Six: Shooting Jinyiwei The kiln gang was busy extinguishing the fire

Qin Cha didn't expect that these people, who were still honest, would suddenly turn their faces, and they had a short circuit in their brains for a while, and they didn't know what to do. Those Jinyi guards who came with him are also masters, they know that the robbery in the hands of the kiln gang people is powerful, but they can't lose face here. A few brocade guards who came to tie up the company commander were very close to the company commander's instructor, and as soon as these brocade guards shook their heads, they bullied them and tried to snatch them from their hands. However, the company commander and the guide were not in vain in the team of the kiln gang. They knew that it was themselves who suffered by leaning on these brocade guards, and the company commander knew that it would be impossible not to shoot. He dodged backwards and several bullets came out of his chamber, punching several holes in the chest of the one who was close to him. The armor in front of the brocade guard couldn't stop the bullets fired from the pistol at close range.

The instructor was not as agile as the company commander, and when he saw that he could not dodge, he fell backwards, and at the same time the pistol in his hand also fired a few bullets. At the same time, the kiln soldiers who heard the gunfire were not polite, and the automatic rifles in their hands began to shoot at the brocade guards in brocade clothes. Although these brocade guards are all martial arts masters, they have no power to fight back in the face of this rainstorm-like bullet. After a while, they were all beaten and fell to the ground covered in blood. At the same time, some of the officials who followed Qin were also killed. The Chin Cha was already lying on the ground and peeing his pants at this time.

The kiln reporter who followed over recorded the scene with a camera. The company commander and instructor of Yaogang knew that this time they were causing a big disaster. But fortunately, Qin Cha was not killed. They quickly cordoned off this imperial mausoleum. Then report the situation to your superiors.

The news was quickly fed back to the kiln.

When he received the news, Zhang Zhimu was at the shooting range and Li Yunhe was going to test the delta wing. Zhang Zhimu put down the phone and said to Li Yunhe: "There is something urgent at home, you try it yourself today, I have to rush back." ”

Li Yunhe knew that it was not a very important matter, and Zhang Zhimu would not terminate this test, and said, "You should go back quickly!" At the same time, a few more people were sent to follow Zhang Zhimu to the kiln gang. Along the way, Zhang Zhimu was thinking about it. Although the specific situation is still unclear, he feels that it should not be his own soldiers who are causing trouble, it must be those domineering Qincha who forced the officers and soldiers to shoot without any choice, otherwise the officers and soldiers would not shoot at Qincha and Jinyiwei. When I saw the Qincha, I had to kneel, could the soldiers go crazy.

The question is how to deal with this matter, because disrespect to the emperor is equivalent to disrespect to the emperor. Even if the emperor doesn't want to pursue this matter, those ministers will also take the opportunity to make trouble. Therefore, this matter must be faced seriously, and now we must not turn against the emperor. Because the intelligence from Liaodong said that the Manchu army had been assembled and was marching westward. Turning the other cheek with the emperor now will give the Manchus and the Mongols an opportunity.

Rushing to the command center, after Ouyang He gave a detailed account of the incident, Chen Yufeng said: "Yan Boju, Lao Lu and King Zhou have already rushed over from Luoyang!" ”

"Why did King Zhou also arrive in Luoyang?" Zhang Zhimu didn't expect King Zhou to leave Kaifeng and go to Luoyang.

"Huh! He really couldn't stay still, so he went to Luoyang with Princess Anping. Originally, I wanted to see Luoyang, so I came to Yaogang. Unexpectedly, when I arrived in Luoyang, I caught up with this thing. Ouyang He said, "When King Zhou left, he sent a telegram back saying that he could deter these so-called Qincha. ”

"It's a good thing," Mr. Zhang said, "and we now have one more solution to the problem." I don't think this matter can be hidden, so it's better to just make it public. This also seems to be justified in us. ”

"Mr. Zhang means to broadcast things first?" Ouyang He asked.

"Yes!" Zhang Zhimu said, "Let's give a briefing first. Let's not go into details, just let the emperor know first. ”

Chen Yufeng said: "Yes! I agree with Chiki. Otherwise, let them report to the emperor, I don't know what to say. ”

Zhang Zhimu said to the staff officer: "Immediately connect me to the phone number of Editor-in-Chief Fan." ”

Zhang Zhimu said to Fan Jinfu on the phone: "Editor-in-chief Fan, you take a pen and record it." ”

Fan Jinfu knew that there was something important again, so he quickly picked up the pen and said to Zhang Zhimu: "Okay! Mr. Zhang. ”

"According to the news from Fengyang, the capital of China. The ministers sent by the imperial court clashed with the guards sent by the Yaogang People's Army to the imperial tomb to do security work for the maintenance work. There have been casualties. Details are unknown. It is reported that the main leaders of Yaogang have rushed to Fengyang, the central capital. Zhang Zhimu said, "You broadcast this news as soon as possible!" Broadcast twice in a row. ”

"Mr. Zhang! You're a stone that stirs up a thousand waves. Ouyang He said, "It's hard to say whether our emperor's face can be hung up." Our company commander and instructor are now locked up, so you see what to do with them. ”

"Then you say, what is wrong with them?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Huh! Either way, they shouldn't have gotten things out of control. It's not good if you don't deal with it. Ouyang He said.

"Can you tell me what they should do in this situation?" Zhang Zhimu was obviously dissatisfied with Ouyang He's statement.

"We don't know the specifics, and we can't answer them." Ouyang He couldn't answer Zhang Zhimu's question.

"Then let's wait until we get clear!" Zhang Zhimu didn't want to wronged his officers and soldiers.

"Zhimu, I know you feel sorry for the officers and soldiers. But you have to know that if you don't deal with them, you may not be able to explain to the emperor. Chen Yufeng said.

"We must not wrongfully accuse our officers and soldiers, we will deal with them wherever they are wrong." Zhang Zhimu insisted, "We have to convince them to deal with them." We can't say what is right to do on our own, so it's not right to say that they are wrong. ”

In his previous life, Zhang Zhimu had seen a lot of things that used big words and slogans to oppress people, and now he doesn't allow such things to happen again.

"Zhimu, we must deal with this matter as soon as possible." Chen Yufeng said, "Our friends in Liaodong, the brigade has already driven out. Prince Tori also came with news that there were movements in Moxi Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia, and Mo Nan Mongolia. They also heard news from Ningde, and in front of Jiayu Pass, the Mongols who had been silent for a long time also had abnormal activities. It looks like we're going to have a situation north of us soon. ”

"Good! If they don't come, we haven't looked for them yet, so if they suffer a little bit this time, they will be honest for two years. Zhang Zhimu said, "The place we ate this time is too big. It takes time to digest. ”

"This time, we have to be prepared to fall out with the imperial court," Ouyang He said, "and we are separated from the imperial court by the Yellow River and the canal to the east, and there is no way to isolate us." If you don't get it right, there will be contradictions. ”

"I don't think we need to quarantine from them, as long as they don't come to collect taxes, just let them come. Everyone can see how I'm doing this. Slowly, the gap between the two sides will be seen. In the future, it is likely that it will be like Yanbei, and the people will look forward to our past. Zhang Zhimu said, "We must fight with them in a reasonable and restrained manner, and their officials can come, but the army is absolutely not allowed to come." ”

"We have already explained these things to Li Mao. Li Mao should be able to handle these things. Ouyang He said.

The three of them unified their opinions on handling emergencies, and it was a lot easier. Chen Yufeng asked, "I heard that you are going to test something that can fly into the sky with Yunhe?" ”

"Huh! Uncle Chen is well-informed! We haven't tried it yet, so you'll know. Zhang Zhimu said with a smile.

"Mr. Zhang, tell me quickly, what can you try to fly to the sky?" Ouyang He hadn't heard of this.

"We are now preparing to test a delta-wing vehicle that can glide for a period of time." Zhang Zhimu said, "In the future, our delta wing will be equipped with an engine and a propeller, and we will be able to fly freely with people." ”

"We haven't figured out what we're running on the ground yet, and you're going to get it flying in the sky, and our brains can't keep up." Ouyang He said.

Chen Yufeng said: "How can a person fly when he is so heavy? ”

"Uncle Chen, people should be smarter than birds, right?" Zhang Zhimu said, "If a bird can fly, can a person also fly?" ”

"There have been too many people who want to fly since ancient times, but they haven't flown yet." Ouyang He said.

"Don't worry! We're going to be the first to fly. Zhang Zhimu said.

At this time, Yang Qinglian called the command center again. It turned out that Gonggong Li was here again.

Ouyang He said: "The emperor won't react so quickly, right? We haven't aired the news yet. ”

"There must be something else. I'll take a look. Zhang Zhimu said, "The emperor doesn't have much to do now, and he stares at us every day." ”

This time, Gonggong Li didn't bring the holy decree, but it was very unfriendly to bring the topic.

After Zhang Zhimu and him sat down, Gonggong Li didn't touch the tea given to him, and said, "Zhang Dongjia, the emperor is really angry this time." ”

"Oh! Long Yan was furious? ”

"Zhang Dongjia, this matter is not a matter of haha, you really have to make it clear." Grandpa Li is very serious.

"Huh! You started scaring me before you even said anything? Zhang Zhimu also put away his smile. However, Zhang Zhimu immediately found out that this was exactly the effect that Gonggong Li wanted.

"You escorted tens of thousands of thieves from Jingzhou to Anqing, and you delivered soup and water along the way. When you arrived in Anqing, you sent them across the Yangtze River by boat, what do you want to do? Gonggong Li's little eyes were glowing, staring at Zhang Zhimu and asking.

"Huh! The emperor's news is very well-informed. Zhang Zhimu said with a smile, but he said in his heart that he didn't expect the emperor's information to be slow.

"Now there is an uproar in the court, and the emperor is also angry, you have to explain this matter. Otherwise, everyone will not be able to get by. Gonggong Li said.

"What's the matter, you're threatening me?" Zhang Zhimu stared at Gonggong Li, he knew that if he didn't suppress his arrogance, it would be difficult to talk about it.

"Is it the emperor who wants to ask why?" Father-in-law Li was not convinced.

"If you want to know what's going on, just say it, don't come with me." Zhang Zhimu was even more polite.

"Zhang Dongjia, don't take this matter as a child's play. This time the emperor was really angry. When Gonggong Li said this, his tone softened a little.

"That's right! If you have something, just talk about it, let you do it like this, what if it's a big deal. Zhang Zhimu had something to say, and he said that he hadn't said anything about Qincha's side yet, "That's because we made a deal with Yuan Zongdi of the Great Shun Army." ”

"You made a deal with the Great Shun Army?" Grandpa Li's eyes widened.

"What's wrong? What's so strange about that? Zhang Zhimu said, "They put forward a condition, they will not destroy every grass and tree in Jingzhou, and they will not harm the people there." But the condition is to let them go to Jiangnan. You say this deal is not done? ”

"It's a collaborator!" Gonggong Li clapped his hands and said.

"Yes! How do you make this deal without collaborating with the enemy? Zhang Zhimu said lightly.

"You, you, you're committing a felony!" Gonggong Li said.

"If we attack Jingzhou City hard, tens of thousands of people in the Dashun army will resist to the death. Many people will be killed and wounded on both sides, and the innocent people in the city will suffer with them. The thousand-year-old city will also be destroyed. Is the emperor willing to watch such a scene? Zhang Zhimu asked.

"If you fight, you will die, and this is the thief army who has done its own evil, and they will suffer for themselves." Gonggong Li gritted his teeth and said.

"But our soldiers have not done iniquity, and the people of the city have not done iniquity, so why should they suffer with them?" Zhang Zhimu was a little angry.

"But you let go of tens of thousands of thieves, and you took care of food and shelter along the way, which is an act of arsonance with the enemy." Gonggong Li said, "The emperor trusts you so much, how can you do such a rebellious thing." How are you going to talk to the emperor? ”

"It's what we agreed with them. They laid down their weapons and took nothing with them. We'll take care of the food and lodging on the way. Zhang Zhimu said, "Besides, we don't think it's a big rebellion, it's a happy thing." There is less of a bloody storm, which is also a good person. You can tell the emperor what I said. ”

"You, you, hey! They laid down their weapons and came out, why didn't you take the opportunity to destroy them? Father-in-law Li was anxious when he heard this.

"Do you think we are villains who don't keep our word?" Zhang Zhimu stared at Gonggong Li and asked.

"You, you will lose your trust in the emperor like this." Gonggong Li said.

"No, the emperor is also trustworthy and reasonable." Zhang Zhimu said, "Just tell the emperor what I said." The emperor will not let us kill those who have just protected the people of Jingzhou and are unarmed. ”

Zhang Zhimu's words made Gonggong Li speechless, so he could only sigh helplessly and said, "Zhang Dongjia, you will make the emperor very embarrassed." ”

"Don't be embarrassed, we will let the world know the inside story of this matter through the radio. Let the world comment on whether we are doing the right thing? Zhang Zhimu didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Then I'll bring Zhang Dongjia's original words back to the emperor!" Gonggong Li stood up and was about to leave.

Zhang Zhimu hurriedly said: "Don't leave yet, there is one more thing, you go back to the emperor together." Our soldiers in the Imperial Mausoleum in Zhongdu fought with the people brought by the Qincha. There may be some casualties. The details are not yet clear, but we have already sent people to the central capital. In a moment our radio station will broadcast the news. ”

"You, how dare you fight with the Qincha? That Qincha represents the emperor, what are you doing here? You are too bold. Father-in-law Li suddenly wanted to say, "Don't let the radio broadcast this news." ”

"I'm afraid it's already over," Zhang Zhimu said, "It's not clear what exactly happened, so don't talk nonsense." I have to kneel when I see the Chincha, and our soldiers will not do anything stupid. It must have been that the Qincha deceived people too much, and the soldiers had no choice but to do it. Let's wait until the situation is clear. ”

"Zhang Dongjia, you guys are too disagreeable. On behalf of the emperor, where will you put the emperor's face when you broadcast it? "Father-in-law Li.

"We're spending money and trying to restore the Imperial Tomb as soon as possible, right? Why did he send His Excellency and bully our people when he came there? Even the emperor has to be reasonable, right? Zhang Zhimu said.

"Humph! Zhang Dongjia, you really can. This is all about the emperor. Gonggong Li said and got up and left. He knew that this matter should be reported to the emperor as soon as possible, and this matter was much more important than Fang Cai's. If you don't get it right, it will be a storm.

Zhang Zhimu also said angrily: "Don't send it!" ”

Chen Yufeng listened to Zhang Zhimu on the phone after introducing the situation of Gonggong Li's visit this time, and said: "These things have all come together. I have asked Liu Yun to inform the Fourth Army to prepare for the defense of all the entrances in Taihang. It is estimated that the emperor will not be so stupid. There is a situation on the Manchu side, and they should also have their own channels to get news. ”

"Alright! The sky won't fall. What should come will always come, you and Mr. Ouyang can watch these things. Zhang Zhimu said, "Tomorrow I will test the aircraft with Li Yunhe." In addition, let me tell Mr. Ouyang, about the handling opinions of the company commander and the instructor, I said it a bit bluntly. Please don't mind, Mr. Ouyang. ”

"Oops! It's all right between us. Chen Yufeng said, "If we are together, it will be boring if we are falsetto." ”

Although today's important news in Yaogang is very short, the sensation caused by all parties is really not small, and it is worse than the news that Yaogang people have sent troops again.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard the news, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly smashed the cup in his hand. But he walked around the room a few more times, calmed down a little, and forced himself to think for a moment what was going on. Why did the people of Yaogang slap themselves in the face in this matter. The people of Yaogang also sent a letter a while ago saying that they were organizing people to repair the imperial tomb, which was to spend money to please themselves, but how could this happen suddenly.

Emperor Chongzhen called the prince and asked, "These bastards in Yaogang have fought with the Qincha sent to inspect in Fengyang, the central capital. What do you think they're going to do? ”

"The emperor is angry!" Wang Gonggong said, "It's too late for the kiln people to please you." I wonder if it's the people we sent out, isn't it...."The prince glanced at the emperor's face and didn't dare to say anything.

"Go on!" Emperor Chongzhen was a little angry.

"Yes! Your Majesty, I mean that our people also did something bad, and the people who stayed in the imperial tomb to supervise the work were all soldiers under the kiln post, and as a result, they disagreed with each other, so they started fighting. I don't think the people of Yaogang may dare to take the initiative to provoke us. Wang Gonggong said.

"You don't have any news?" The emperor asked.

"Back to the emperor, this time Qin sent out, and there was no one with us. We don't have any news from China right now. The prince replied, "I see that the emperor is angry, and I will talk about it when the news from there comes back." I think that the people of Yaogang dare to publicly use the radio to report this matter, which means that they seem to have caught the reason. Otherwise, it won't be like this. ”

"I knew you would speak for the Kiln Man. Xin Yin didn't let you send someone to follow this time. Emperor Chongzhen was even more angry.

The prince hurriedly knelt down and said, "Don't dare! Your Majesty, I'm telling the truth. ”

"Get up, and send someone to find out the details of this matter." Emperor Chongzhen said.

What was even more shocking when he heard this news was Dolgon and military officer Fan Wencheng, who were about to leave Shengjing.

The people of Yaogang did not expect that this southern expedition would end so soon. Dolgon and Fan Wencheng didn't expect that they would slowly wait for the weather to warm up after the New Year, and they would wait until the ice and snow melted in the spring before concentrating on people. Judging from all signs, the kiln people will take action this year. When the kiln gang people suddenly took over Xiangyang, they were even more sure of this judgment. So as the weather warmed up, they began to assemble on a large scale. As they expected, the kiln people finally started to act. Therefore, their brigade also began to move westward. At the same time, he also informed the Mongols to cooperate with the action, and the team in front still did not want to fight the Ming army in Shanhaiguan this time. The Manchu army siege was not a strong point, they preferred to fight in the field. This time, it is best to bypass the three customs, break through the wall, and loot as before. Leave a force in front of Shanhaiguan to contain the Ming army, so that they do not dare to return to the division to support the Ming army in the territory. At this time, the main force of the Yaogang people was also fighting bloody battles with Li Zicheng's army in the Central Plains of Henan, and they had no time to take care of the situation in the north. But they didn't expect that the Yaogang people would end the battle on the main battlefield so quickly.

Therefore, Dolgon and Fan Wencheng wanted to hurry to the front line of Shanhaiguan to urge the army to take action when the Yaogang people's brigade had not yet returned. But just as they were packing up and preparing to leave, they heard such a piece of news.

Fan Wencheng said happily to Dolgon: "Lord Regent, God has given us a chance. Emperor Chongzhen will definitely not be able to get over face this time, and if he doesn't get it right, Emperor Chongzhen will turn his face with the kiln gang people. A kiln man may have already taken the Central Plains, and he wants to turn his face with Emperor Chongzhen. Even if the people of Yaogang don't fall out with Emperor Chongzhen, it will take time for them to solve this problem and build trust again. In short, now is our once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, let's hurry up. ”

According to the number of etiquette, Dolgon came to the palace to bid farewell to the little emperor, bid farewell to Empress Xiaozhuang, and left Shengjing (Shenyang) by car.

On the way, Dolgon asked Fan Wencheng puzzled: "Strategist, why did the people of Yaogang broadcast this matter on the radio?" Aren't they afraid that everyone in the world will know about it, and it will end badly? ”

"I can't hide this kind of thing, so I just say it directly and publicly, but I seem to be very upright." Fan Wencheng said, "Look! Soon, the kiln gang people will report the ins and outs of this matter in detail. Of course, I will say that this has nothing to do with myself. ”

"Huh! The radio station is from the kiln, and they can say whatever they want. Dorgon laughed and said, "We'll get a radio station back later." We also speak according to our words. ”

"Looks like the Lord Regent can see how good this thing works!" Fan Wencheng said, "However, I see that the kiln people are still almost hot." The more they excuse themselves, the stiffer their relationship with Emperor Chongzhen will be. Emperor Chongzhen didn't have any face at all, and he couldn't get off the stage. ”

"What the Strategist said," said Dolgon, "is this to give us an opportunity. Let's take advantage of the fact that they haven't sorted it out themselves, and give them a black tiger to dig out their hearts. Disrupt them. ”

"Yes! Regent, this time the Mongols were very cooperative, and they sent out fifty or sixty thousand cavalry, and they wanted to be ashamed. Avenge the Ordos brothers. Fan Wencheng said, "When Genghis Khan was rampant in the world, there were more than 100,000 real Mongol soldiers. This time they dispatched fifty or sixty thousand, but it was not a decimal. This is a rare opportunity for us, so we should make good use of it! ”

"Although Genghis Khan only had more than 100,000 people back then, they still had a lot of troops who surrendered to them, especially the Han army." "Most of their transport and engineer armies were Han Chinese and Tianfang. ”

"It's strange to say, our Han army, when we were in the Ming army, it was really not good to fight. However, when he entered the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty, his combat power doubled. Fan Wencheng said flatteringly.

"It seems that you Han people have such a tradition. Ha ha! After Dolgon finished speaking, he ignored Fan Wencheng's face and laughed.

But Dolgon didn't expect that Fan Wencheng would say: "The regent is right, we Han people are like this!" ”
