"My lord, I've found the men and horses of the Shenji Battalion and the 3,000 Battalion! The Shenji Battalion lurks in the former Military Governor's Mansion! One of the three thousand battalions is a potential right army governor's mansion, and the rest of the divisions are scattered among the surrounding markets along with the elite of the regimental battalion, and now the Ordnance Division has been surrounded by regiments! ”

"Got it, probe again!"

"My lord, the Shenji Battalion in the former Military Governor's Mansion is fully equipped, and it even brings two general cannons!"

"Well, probe!"

"My lord, the people and horses lurking near the left side of Xi'an Gate have been identified, and they are Tiqi! There were thousands of them, and they did not come out under a banner, and the details could not be counted. ”

"Well, got it, probe again!"

"My lord, the four gates of the Forbidden City are now closed, and there are many elite imperial horse supervisors stationed at the palace gates, especially the Xihua Gate and the Xuanwu Gate! In addition, there is also a royal history in the middle of the mark......"

"How's it going in the palace?"

"Because the defense is too tight, the mark does not dare to get too close, so as not to alarm the enemy to startle the snake, therefore, the details are unknown, it is reported that the holy car and Luan have entered the Jiaotai Palace, according to the rules of the palace, it should soon go to Kunning Palace."

"Okay, I know, all the brothers are working harder, don't relax, keep an eye on these places."

"Yes!"

Although Xie Hong did not attend Zhengde's wedding, he was not idle, and a group of people also gathered in the leopard room, most of them were long-standing and strong, but their faces were still childish, and those who kept going in and out were old faces, but the news they brought was not as optimistic as before, and each one was worse than the other.

The situation is dire! Xie Hong sighed silently in his heart, saying that this war is 4,000 to 100,000 may be a little exaggerated, there are actually not so many people in the Beijing camp, and even if there are, not every one of them can be used as elites, and it is impossible to deploy all the troops in the capital, after all, it is an army of tens of thousands of people.

However, if it is said that the Ordnance Division and him are enemies all over the city, it is not false at all. The influence of the scholar is very great, and everyone knows this, but no one can imagine how terrifying this behemoth is until they really face this enemy.

Xie Hong also tried to win over some allied troops, and his first target was the military attaché, but the temptation of the Shenji Battalion general made him feel cold in his heart. There is indeed a contradiction between the military general and the civil official, and he may use it, but he definitely can't use the martial artists in the capital.

The blow to the warriors was extremely deadly, and after that, Wenchen completely mastered the armed forces of the capital. Now that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has even let out the yamen, in order to hide the soldiers in it, trying to take himself by surprise, Xie Hong is not stupid, he can't expect anything from these warriors in the capital.

If we have to say that there is, we can only expect them to be a little more degenerate, and their combat effectiveness will be a little lower.

In the Ming Dynasty, Xungui was also a fairly large class, which should not be underestimated, Xie Hong also considered winning over Xungui to make an alliance, and his goodwill to Xia Ru's family was also due to this.

However, after he learned about it in detail, he was stunned to find that in fact, these nobles and the Beijing camp were tied together, and most of the children of each family served as generals in the Beijing camp.

In fact, if you think about it, after these families were all military generals who founded the country, most of the children in the family could not become civil officials, and could only take the military attache route, and the border town was a bitter cold and dangerous place, and the children who were used to being pampered could not bear the hardship, and it was even more difficult to make meritorious contributions there.

Therefore, Jingying and Jinyiwei have become their best choice, close to home, do not endure hardship, and are safe, in addition, there is a lot of oil and water to take, although it is only leaked out of the fingers of civil officials, but some of them are good, who has so much accounting?

This reason is actually one of the main reasons for the low combat effectiveness of the Beijing Battalion and Jinyiwei, the generals are brave, the generals have no enterprising heart, and counting on the efforts of the sergeants is tantamount to asking for fish from the wood.

Of course, in addition to these two forces, the Ming Dynasty also has a huge class, that is, the clan. But Xie Hong didn't need to be tempted to know what kind of level those people's loyalty would be.

If the overall situation is decided, let these people follow him to engage in academic research, Xie Hong is still relieved, there are many academic talents in the old Zhu family, but at this critical juncture where a single negligence may be doomed, it is tantamount to suicide to let him believe in those people, and even pin his hopes on those people.

Therefore, after turning around, Xie Hong found that he could only fight alone to face this war with an extremely huge difference in strength.

The poor combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion is a common phenomenon, but it mainly refers to the 12 regiments and battalions, and there are still many elite strong troops outside of this. For example, the Shenji Battalion is a high-tech unit, and its combat effectiveness does not rely too much on people, but on weapons.

Although Xie Hong disagreed with the fire of this era, it was considered by him according to the actual situation on his side.

He is weak and strong, and of course he can't use this kind of thing that is slow to reload and not strong enough; But if it's the other way around, this thing is a sharp weapon. What's more, the Shenji Battalion does not only have firearms, but other heavy weapons such as Lianzhu guns and military cannons are still very powerful.

In the battle of Yanjing after the change of Tumubao, the Shenji battalion once shined, they set up an ambush outside the Desheng Gate, and then completely disrupted the array of the Mongolian troops with the tactics of concentrated shooting, and then cooperated with the Ming army in the city to attack, defeated the Tatars, and won the victory of the defense of Yanjing.

The deeds of the Shenji Battalion. Xie Hong heard what people said, and after listening to it, he also had some doubts in his heart, I don't know why Ming Yingzong didn't bring the Shenji Battalion with him when he went to Tumu Fort, could it be that at that time, the Shenji Battalion was already in the hands of Wenchen?

In addition to the Shenji Battalion, the 3,000 Battalion is also a special case. This unit was founded in the era of Chengzu Zhu Di, and it was a unit that incorporated the grassland cavalry, and later became one of the leaders of the Beijing camp alongside the Shenji battalion.

The technical content of the cavalry is relatively high, and it has always maintained relatively strong training, so the nobles are not very interested in this unit, but let this unit also maintain a relatively strong combat effectiveness.

In addition, there is a stronger army, and it is also the strongest one in the Beijing camp, that is, the forbidden army of the Imperial Horse Prison.

The army guarding the emperor has many names in the history of China, such as the Imperial Forest Army, but the name Praetorian Guard is the most used.

At the time of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, at most, there were thirty guards and forbidden troops, but the guards were completely reduced after the Tumu Fort, and could only be used as a guard of honor, in addition to the Jinyi Guard who detected hundreds of officials.

However, as the forbidden army that directly guards the emperor, the Imperial Horse Prison maintains a high combat effectiveness, although it has not experienced any actual combat, and it is not as strong as the border army, but the well-equipped Imperial Horse Prison Army is the best in the capital.

Xie Hong knows, and so do the civil officials.

Therefore, all these troops have been mobilized, and even the Jinyi Guard, who had been beaten to the ground by the fans, has made up the number, compared to the ordinary Beijing Battalion departments and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, the fans of the Jinyi Guard can be regarded as having seen blood.

The main target is, of course, the Ordnance Division, and countless spies have gone one after another to let the civilian officials get accurate information, the main force of the border army is in the Ordnance Division, as for whether anyone followed Xie Hong into Xiyuan, they can't find out but can be sure, even if there is, it won't be much.

As a result, the Shenji Battalion, which has the strongest attack power, and the 3,000 Battalion, which has the strongest field combat ability, are all arranged there, in addition to the soldiers and horses of the 12th Regiment Battalion.

As for the three thousand young men in Xiyuan, the ministers did not despise it, Jinyiwei just wanted to block the Xi'an Gate, so as to catch them all, but it was the elite of the Imperial Horse Supervisor who really did it, anyway, it was only separated by a Daming Lake, which was considered to be close.

After all, the Imperial Horse Supervisor is a forbidden army, and it's okay to do it in the imperial city, it's a bit eye-catching to let them go out of the palace to besiege the Ordnance Division, and it's not necessary, there is a Shenji Battalion, and it's not easy to capture a small Ordnance Division? No matter how brave the fans are, the 3,000 battalions are cavalry, and they enter the city with horses!

With these two backbone forces, the 12th Regiment and Battalion may not be able to play a role, so many people, it is always no problem to chase and kill the remnants of the enemy and clean up the battlefield.

With the return of the scouts, the plan of the Wenchen was also clearly displayed in front of Xie Hong's eyes, except for the specific timing of the move, everything was very clear, and they had only one attitude towards themselves: to kill them all.

Although Xie Hong was silent, those teenagers were a little drumming in their hearts, they were different from Jiang Bin's veterans, none of them had ever been on the battlefield, and it had only been two months since they entered Beijing, and they suddenly had to face the most powerful forbidden army, and they couldn't help but panic.

No matter what the actual situation is, according to the drama or the commentary, the forbidden army is the strongest in the world, Jiang Bin and others have been in the capital before, and they have never met the forbidden army after all, so they can deal with it by themselves? There are thousands of people in the Imperial Horse Prison, and it is impossible for me to win with more on my side.

The teenagers are not afraid of death, everyone is a good man in the border town, and it is their duty to die on the battlefield, since they have made up their minds to work for the emperor, they will not back down. But if the opponent is too strong and he loses, it will affect Lord Xie and even the emperor, and the consequences will be too serious.

The teenagers still have a blood surname, and the people present are all squadron leaders, who are the best among their peers, although they are a little flustered, it can be seen that Xie Hong is quiet, they are not too flustered, and the words of the soldiers' courage are indeed reasonable.

But the eunuchs on one side are all as pale as dirt, except for Ma Yongcheng, who is waiting for Zhengde's wedding, as well as Zhang Yong and Gao Feng, who are guarding the door in the Qianqing Palace, the remaining few of the Eight Tigers are here, well, there is also a third father-in-law, because Zhang and Gao are now beaten into the cold palace, in fact, it is most appropriate to use the Seven Tigers to call the eunuchs around Zhengde.

This time, when the ministers shouted and shouted to kill, although they didn't mention their names, these guys also had self-knowledge, it was not that people didn't shout, but that Xie Hong was too big in the limelight, covering several of them, seeing the posture of the outer court to kill everything, how could they not know that their family was also in trouble?

Not saying it doesn't mean not doing it, getting rid of Xie Hong, the big guy, and crushing a few of them to death is not like playing?

"Master Xie, what should we do, what should we do?" Gu Fatzi spun around in circles on the ground, trembling and chattering: "Otherwise, let's go to the palace to explore?" Please come out quickly...... "Halfway through, he also closed his mouth, this kind of thing is impossible, even if Zhengde sneaks away from the cave room, it is impossible for him to run to Xiyuan, why do you have to have a royal history to block the palace gate, the fat man who has experienced the Juyong Pass incident knows it.

"Master Xie, otherwise...... Let's send someone to discuss with the ministers, they want the Ordnance Division, let's give them it, and then rebuild a ......" The fat man is just timid and panicked, but the third father-in-law is a careless, although the words are tactful, but the fool can hear that he is planning to surrender.

The fat man's face is not good, and the third father-in-law's complexion is not very good, and his face is long, as desperate as when he was forced to enter the palace, so it is the same for whoever puts the gap on him.

"Phew! You are a killer, you have a bad idea, what kind of person is Lord Xie, how can you surrender? Liu Jin had a long-standing enmity with the third father-in-law, and when he heard this, he immediately jumped to his feet, "Don't you know Lord Xie's expression?" The adults already have the wisdom bead in their hands, so we just need to do what we are told! Be quiet for Lao Tzu, adults are strategizing, don't make noise to adults! ”

Liu Jin is of course grasping everything and actually making sycophants, in addition, he also knows very well in his heart that compromise is useless, when the ministers fight among themselves, they will generally leave some leeway, as long as they admit defeat, others will not chase them to the end. But for these close ministers of heaven, there is only one principle: cut the grass and eradicate the roots!

No exceptions.

There is no way out of surrender, and what is worth looking forward to is only Xie Hong's usual magic, I hope that this time will be no exception, and it will be good to be able to lead them out of a desperate situation.

"My lord, what should we do now?" Of course, Liu Jin was just a fierce inward-looking, and after reprimanding the third father-in-law and the timid fat man, he also asked the same question as the fat man, and even the tone was similar.

"Wait."

Xie Hong turned a blind eye to the chaos in the leopard room, and he just threw out a word lightly about the question of Liu Jin and others.
