In the final analysis, neither the crown prince Zhu Changluo nor the Fu King Zhu Changxun can control the government as easily as the Wanli Emperor, especially the Fu Wang, who will definitely reuse the ruling three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, so that they will fall into a situation from which they will never recover." Nature.2.

Therefore, the Donglin Party naturally has to fully support the prince who has the orthodoxy and righteousness of imperial power, only in this way can they fight a beautiful turnaround battle and win Zhu Changluo's trust.

The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang occupied high positions in the imperial court, which made them have to have some scruples, because no matter whether the crown prince Zhu Changluo or the blessed king Zhu Changxun ascended the throne, they would be reused to govern the court.

This is what the saying goes, the barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, anyway, the Donglin Party has nothing to lose, it is better to make a desperate bet, and push the prince to the throne with all his might under the banner of righteousness, and if he fails anyway, he will not lose too much.

Of all the Donglin Party, Yang Lian's attitude was the most positive, running around the capital to contact the civil officials of the court to prepare for solidarity with the crown prince, and if the civilian clique did not take action, then they could only watch King Fu succeed in usurping the throne.

However, it was the military attache in the capital who took practical action to support the crown prince one step ahead of the civilian clique, and the military attache acted much more simply than the civilian official, and there were not so many scruples about the rules, which made the capital explode the first military conflict between the prince and King Fu after seizing the throne.

August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Because it was the period of the great funeral of the Wanli Emperor, the Mid-Autumn Festival in the capital was very dull, from the dignitaries to the common people, every household could not do as much as in previous years, and the actions were simple and low, and there was no one who did not open his eyes and wanted to touch the royal mold.

In the evening, Qin Yue, Naren Tuoya and Rou'er gathered the people of the family to have a reunion dinner together, which was a rule set by Li Hongyu, and it was also a tradition in the Li Mansion, and the family reunion festival should be spent with those who could not go back to reunite with their families.

Like thousands of households in the capital, this year's reunion dinner in the Li Mansion is also silent, and the atmosphere seems dignified, in addition to this is the mourning period of Emperor Wanli, it is also related to Li Hongyu, who is under house arrest in the palace.

Although Naren Toya, who has the title of county lord, has tried her best, she still can't see Li Hongyu, who is now completely watched by Zheng Guifei's people, and can't see anyone except those important officials of the court who came to pay their respects.

After all, Naren Toya is only a fiancée who has not yet entered the door of the Li Mansion, so theoretically she is not a member of the Li family, and naturally there is not enough reason to see Li Hongyu, which makes the people of the Li family very worried about Li Hongyu's safety.

After the reunion dinner, Qin Yue, Naren Toya, and Rou'er went to the living room of the back house to talk about the situation in the capital, from the current situation, the situation is extremely unfavorable to the prince, if Li Hongyu can't change his mind to support King Fu, then the consequences are unpredictable.

Unlike Naren Toya and Rou'er, Qin Yue also had to worry about Zhao Xin's safety, Zhao Xin didn't send anyone to deliver the news for several days in order to keep it secret, so she didn't know how things were going now, but from the fact that Zhao Xin hadn't found the edict for so long, things didn't go well.

At midnight, Qin Yue led Naren Tuoya and Rou'er to the courtyard to admire the moon, although the night was dark, the three of them couldn't sleep at all because they missed Li Hongyu in their hearts, and they could only use the moon to sustenance in the lonely night.

In fact, Li Hongyu, like the three of them, also looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky in the courtyard where he lived to relieve his lovesickness, hoping that the Li Mansion would not be affected by the incident of the crown prince and King Fu.

Pounce, flutter, flutter......

Not long after Qin Yue, Naren Toya and Rou'er arrived in the courtyard, when they were sitting in the gazebo and talking, there was a sudden sound of dogs barking on the street in the front yard, followed by a low and messy footsteps, as if there were many people walking on the street.

"Miss, a Beijing army passed in front of our house and went west." Just when the three of them were strange, a subordinate ran over from the front yard and bowed down to report to Qin Yue.

"West?" Qin Yue was slightly stunned at first when she heard this, and then she showed a surprised look on her face, and couldn't help but look at Naren Toya and Rou'er, "Could it be that the British duke's people are starting to fight back!" ”

There was the Wuwei Marquis Mansion on the street in front of the Li Mansion, and Qin Yue naturally suspected that those soldiers had gone to the Wuwei Marquis Mansion, but now that it was a mourning period, the imperial court would not move troops indiscriminately.

Then the only explanation is that those soldiers were not transferred by the imperial court, thinking of the direction they were going, as well as the events that have happened in the capital in recent years, Qin Yue will naturally think that those soldiers are going to the Wuwei Hou Mansion, and their purpose is naturally to rescue the British Duke who is under house arrest.

"Will they be able to save the British duke?"

Hearing this, Naren Toya and Rou'er suddenly became nervous, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, if the British Duke can be freed, then Marquis Wuwei will not be able to control the Beijing army in the capital, and Li Hongyu's situation will be much better.

"Difficult!"

Qin Yue pondered for a moment and then shook his head and said, "Wu Wei Hou can be called the first among the nobles in terms of talent, and he will definitely be on guard in such an important period now." ”

"Wu Weihou set a trap?" Naren Toya and Rou'er couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this.

"Moths to the fire!" Qin Yue frowned and said four words, Wu Wei Hou is not easy to deal with, so this hasty military operation will definitely fail.

Qin Yue guessed correctly, the target of the Beijing army that passed in front of the Li Mansion was the Wuwei Hou Mansion, with a total of more than 2,000 people, and under the leadership of several British princes and imprisoned nobles, they launched this military operation, wanting to rescue the British Duke and others in one fell swoop and control the Wuwei Hou, and then reverse the situation in the capital in one fell swoop.

However, things are just as Qin Yue thought, Wuwei Hou Zhang Guang is cunning and cunning, since he dares to put the British Duke under house arrest, he must be prepared.

Therefore, when those generals led the army to easily attack the mansion of Marquis Wuwei, not only did Marquis Wuwei's family not be in the mansion, but the nobles of the British duke who were under house arrest were nowhere to be found.

Just when those generals felt a little overwhelmed, the sound of killing on the road outside the Wuwei Marquis's Mansion shook the sky, and countless soldiers of the Beijing Army poured out from the street, surrounding the sergeants led by those generals, and the two sides quickly fought each other in short quarters.

At the same time, the Marquis of Wuwei, who was wearing armor, was supervising the battle in a restaurant not far away, standing on the top of the building looking at the direction of the murderous Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, surrounded by several nobles who were wearing armor like him, talking and laughing there with a relaxed expression.

"Marquis Wuwei, after this incident, the power of the British Duke in the capital will be hit hard, and your plan to invite you into the urn this time is really high!" While talking and laughing, a middle-aged noble glanced at the direction of the fiery Wuwei Marquis Mansion, and said to Zhang Guang with regret, "It's a pity for the house." ”

"It's just a house, it's not a big deal." Zhang Guang smiled disappreciatively when he heard this, and then said to himself, "I have to say that there are really many elite soldiers and strong generals under the British duke, and they have been able to hold on until now." ”

"What's the use of elite soldiers and strong generals, it's not that they have fallen for Wu Weihou's strategy, they think how strict the plan is this time, but they don't know that it is all in the hands of Wu Weihou."

Another noble suddenly laughed when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Guang with flattery, in fact, Zhang Guang had known about this military operation for a long time, and he had an eyeliner in the British public camp.

In order to eliminate the military forces loyal to the British duke this time, and also to give other nobles in the capital a dismount, Zhang Guang mobilized more than 10,000 troops to eliminate the more than 2,000 people, which was five times the number of the other party.

"You say, if they are replaced by the new army, will they be able to get out?"

Zhang Guangyan showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and then remembered something, so he looked at the direction of the battle and asked loudly, to be honest, he was not convinced by Li Hongyu's military exploits in Liaodong, thinking that luck accounted for the majority, and if he practiced strictly, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers would not be weaker than that of the new army.

"The new army is just a rabble, how can it be compared to our Beijing army?" A nobleman came from the house to the guardrail of the balcony with a teacup, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "As far as Ben Hou knows, the victory in Liaodong was fought by the Mongols and the Jurchen Yehebu, and Li Hanlin is just a hypocrite who is good at buying people's hearts!" ”

"You can't say that, his ability to turn the tide of the battle in Liaodong shows that he is not an idle person, but unfortunately he doesn't know the time and has to be the enemy of the deputy prince."

Zhang Guang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, and opened his mouth to correct the noble, although he was a little unwilling that Li Hongyu overwhelmed the nobles after the first battle in Liaodong, but he also had to admire Li Hongyu's talent in his heart, especially his unparalleled business ability.

And it is precisely because of Li Hongyu's amazing commercial ability that the new army can exist, otherwise the treasury of the Ming Dynasty and the inner treasury of the Wanli Emperor will not be able to support the military expenses of the new army.

"Wu Weihou, what will the new army do in the future? According to Benhou, it must not be handed over to Li Hanlin. ”

The noble man with the teacup did not refute when he heard this, but took a sip of the fragrant tea in the teacup and asked Zhang Guang, Li Hongyu supports the prince, once he regains the military power of the new army, will he not let the tiger return to the mountain.

"What else can I do, doesn't the new army claim to be able to fight, let them go and fight with Jiannu and the Mongols." At this time, another Xungui sneered and said, this trick of killing people with a knife is enough to make the new army suffer a catastrophe.

"That's all there is to it!" Zhang Guang frowned slightly when he heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, although he wanted to recruit the new army under his command, but he was afraid of raising tigers, so it was better to eradicate them as soon as possible.

Moreover, the question of where the new army would come from was a headache for him, and since the new army had replaced the hereditary system with a promotion system, he would be dissatisfied with his army if he kept it with him.

"Back to Hou Ye, our army has annihilated most of the rebels, and some of the rebels have escorted the rebel leaders to escape, and our army is chasing and killing." I don't know how long it was, but a general hurriedly came to report it.
