Chapter 424: Poor
"What time is it?" Kazan, Russian Theater Command of the Ming Army, Office of the Commander-in-Chief. He Ziqiu, who had been dealing with military documents all along www.biquge.info suddenly put down the pen in his hand, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. After taking a sip of tea from the teacup next to him, he asked his secretary and important confidant He Wenzhao what time it was.
"Sir, it's 8:27 p.m. imperial capital time." Colonel He Wenzhao glanced at the time and replied softly.
He Wenzhao is He Ziqiu's distant nephew. is different from He Ziqiu's other nephew, He Jun, although he was born in a partial house, He Wenzhao has been smart since he was a child, and he is a first-class talent in terms of dealing with people and handling things. When he graduated from Lu University, he also graduated with the third place in the class. What's more, He Wenzhao did not play the name of He Ziqiu at that time. It can be said that he completely relied on his own ability to fight his way out of a group of classmates with a strong background to win the third place.
If it weren't for He Wenzhao's background, if it weren't for He Wenzhao's failure to play the banner of He Ziqiu. With his true strength, he will definitely be able to get the first place. After He Wenzhao came out, He Ziqiu quickly noticed this young junior from a partial family. Then he recruited him to his side and cultivated. In just over ten years, He Wenzhao was promoted all the way to an army colonel. This is not a long-term thing in the Ming Army, which is incomparably large in scale and lined with hills.
It's just that, although he has become an important confidant of He Ziqiu because of his background and outstanding ability. But no one can see through what He Wenzhao himself thinks in his heart.
Although he was born in the He family, He Wenzhao is just a partial brother who is not taken seriously. Although he came out with his own ability, He Ziqiu only used him as a confidant for more than ten years. And most of the sons and daughters of those descendants have become the leading generals of the ruling side. Even some children of the He family, whose abilities were worse than him and whose grades and grades were lower than him when they graduated from Lu University, became generals under He Ziqiu's arrangement, but he He Wenzhao was still just a colonel. A colonel serving tea and water.
"Is this the time?" He Ziqiu's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and then put the teacup on the table. He Ziqiu, who was sitting quietly in the chair, didn't say much, but his constantly beating eyelids showed that his mood at the moment was definitely not as calm as it seemed.
"Sir." As a confidant for more than ten years, He Wenzhao can naturally figure out what He Ziqiu is thinking at the moment. His eyes turned, and he stepped forward with a smile to change the tea for He Ziqiu, and said loudly, "It's almost started over there now." Do you need me to check on the progress of things? ”
"No, you don't." He Ziqiu, who closed his eyes and recuperated, waved his hand and said loudly, "No news, it's good news." ”
"Yes." He Wenzhao nodded respectfully. However, there was a flash of disdain in his eyes. Although He Ziqiu looked like he had a calm and breezy expression, He Wenzhao, who had followed He Ziqiu for so many years, could see through some of his small movements and expressions that he was very nervous at this time. Although He Ziqiu now holds great power, he looks around with heavy troops. But these soldiers are not his!
The times have developed to the present day, and there is no longer illiteracy in the Ming army. With knowledge, we naturally have a vision and understand the most basic universal values. What's more, the vast majority of the officers and soldiers in the Ming army are people with higher education. It is impossible for them to serve themselves personally. Their allegiance is only to the country. He Ziqiu now looks very powerful, with millions of troops in his hands. But all these are sand sculptures built on the beach, which will immediately turn into foam when exposed to wind and rain.
It is impossible for ordinary officers and soldiers to follow He Ziqiu for such a thing as rebellion against the country. The vast majority of the officers and soldiers did not mention the education they received, but their families were basically in the empire, which fundamentally cut off the possibility of He Ziqiu coercing the army. The army that He Ziqiu can really control is only a part of the elite he has cultivated for many years, and the number of people is only a few thousand, what role can it play?
Zhang Cheng, whose prestige had reached its peak and was still recognized as the supreme commander of the country, now only needed one order to knock He Ziqiu to the dust, and he didn't do it before because he didn't have a suitable reason. After all, He Ziqiu's identity is not an ordinary person. Zhang Cheng did not want to provoke a backlash in times of war.
For this future, He Ziqiu sees it very clearly. He knew that Zhang Cheng was a person with a very strong desire to control, and he would never acquiesce to the appearance of a warlord like him. Therefore, Zhang Cheng will definitely make a move on him in the end. He Ziqiu, who was unwilling to end his military and political career in the office, was determined to give it a go, and tried to overthrow Zhang Cheng, the bastard who was a great threat to him, in the name of the emperor who was the only one who could confront Zhang Cheng's righteousness at the moment.
At this moment, facing the critical moment when the verdict is about to be announced, whether he will get what he wants in the future or fall into the Yellow Spring, how can he He Ziqiu be as calm as he seems on the surface!
"I really want to fly over there now and see what's going on over there."
......
"Good will triumph over evil, and light will dispel darkness. In the midst of this great war, we will finally usher in the final victory! As soon as Zhang Cheng, who was standing on the stage, finished speaking, hundreds of people from all walks of life in the venue immediately gave warm applause. The applause was thunderous and enduring.
Zhang Cheng's gaze inadvertently swept over the pale-faced emperor and those people with ulterior motives and uneasy expressions. The corners of his mouth outlined a faint smile, he withdrew his gaze, raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, looked at the many people in the huge hall, and then said, "Next, we must continue to unite as one and continue to work hard for the victory of the war." I want all people to ......"
looked at Zhang Cheng, who was full of spirit on stage and enjoyed the admiration and reverence of countless people. The young emperor could no longer maintain the peace and tranquility he had disguised, and his cold gaze was full of tyranny.
Everything that man has now is something he's always dreamed of. But he was born noble, and he was called the Son of Heaven, but now he can only stand here and watch that lowly guy enjoy everything that should be enjoyed by himself. The young emperor's heart was already filled with endless anger and jealousy. He wanted to tear that guy to pieces right now!
"Are you all ready?" The pale-faced emperor asked Wu Jin behind him in a cold voice as if he was from Siberia, "Is everyone already in place?" ”
Wu Jin, who had just secretly returned from outside the palace, took a hidden glance at the real lineage liaison sent by He Ziqiu not far away. When he saw that the lineage liaison nodded slightly, he took a deep breath, leaned over slightly, and whispered beside the emperor, "It's all arranged." ”
"......" The emperor, who was originally amazing, suddenly changed his momentum after hearing these words, and his whole person seemed to have lost his life as if he had suddenly been poured a fire with ice water. When it came to the end, the emperor suddenly flinched. The young emperor raised his head to look at Zhang Cheng, who was giving an impassioned speech, and his confused gaze turned a thousand times.
As a former collaborator, the young emperor knew Zhang Cheng's strength very well. is an extremely excellent figure in his own right, and the emperor is still afraid of Zhang Cheng at the same time. Where can such a character be easily solved? If this operation fails, it means that you will fall into a place from which you will never recover!
The steady and forbearant character that has been cultivated over the years has flared up again at this moment. The Emperor began to worry about what would happen if he failed!
"Your Majesty!" Wu Jin on the side saw the emperor's hesitation, and in a hurry, he immediately spoke eagerly to persuade, "When the matter is coming, it should be interrupted, but it will be chaotic!" ”
Wu Jin's meaning is simple. Now that they have come to this point, do you still expect Zhang Cheng to let them go? Political struggles are always brutal, and on this battlefield there will always be only the laughter of the victors, and the cries of the losers can only be hidden in endless ruins.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if Zhang Cheng has a problem with his brain today, let them go. However, Zhang Cheng's policy of abdicating the emperor and taxing everyone remained unchanged, and they would have no way out. At that time, it will not be the same as death without a place to be buried!
Numerous gunmen were now in ambush outside the palace. The rebel armies everywhere also began to march towards important departments, such as radio stations, newspapers, major institutions, the Supreme High Command, the General Staff, and other departments. Countless people have given so much, where can they stop now if they want to?
And now the opportunity is so good, as long as Zhang Cheng, who has thrown himself into the net, can be solved here, everything will be calm afterwards. The power in the hands of Zhang Cheng, who had no heir, would soon fall apart. When the time comes, those pens will just flicker around on the radio and in the newspapers. Now most of the important members of the various departments under Wang Yan and Zhang Cheng are in this palace, including those high-ranking generals of the navy and army. And the important generals under Xiao Hongbao and Zhang Cheng were on the distant front line. There is no better opportunity than now.
When the gunmen rush in, who will dare to resist at gunpoint? Even if they dare to resist, don't they want to think about their own families? In Wu Jin's heart, there is no better opportunity than now. Once Zhang Cheng is allowed to leave here tonight, everything will be gone.
The Emperor's body shuddered suddenly, and then fell silent. After a while, the emperor, who had his hands clenched into fists, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Do it!" (To be continued.) )
