Chapter 293: I'm Finally Back!
"Now, what our Lao Sun family has to do is to loosen the outside and tighten the inside, the soldiers in your house must be fully prepared for the old man, and when the time comes, if something goes wrong, you have to rely on the emperor's pro-soldiers who infiltrated the Beijing Division, as well as the dead soldiers of our Lao Sun family."
"This ...... Shall we attack the gates? The youngest fourth grandson, Xu Zong, couldn't help but be stunned. Even if the brothers of the old Sun family take out the strength to eat milk, they are afraid that there are less than 3,000 people even if they add a piece of the old woman and son, plus the pro-army of Zhu Qizhen who infiltrated the Beijing Division, at most about 5,000, just with this little person, if they want to attack the city gate, this is really a bit like a joke.
"Jizong, tell your younger brothers. The old man is tired, and the old man still wants to be able to see His Majesty the Emperor return to the throne with his own eyes, but he doesn't want to be angry with your stupid brothers. Lao Sun Zhong opened his mouth, waved his hand helplessly, closed his eyes and lay back on the soft couch.
Sun Zhong, who was eighty years old, said these words, which made the faces of those sons become extremely strange, but they didn't dare to argue at all, and they all set their eyes on their brothers. Sun Jizong carefully hugged Sun Zhong to lie down, and thoughtfully covered the old father with a thin quilt, then turned around and motioned for his younger brothers to leave his father's bedroom with him.
"Brother, what do you mean by father?" As soon as the youngest Sun Xuzong stepped out of Sun Zhong's bedroom, he couldn't wait to ask Sun Jizong.
"Our target is not the heavily guarded Nine Gates. It's the Imperial City. Sun Jizong sighed lightly, cleared his throat and whispered. His Majesty the Emperor once had a secret decree, if things change, he could attack the imperial city first to seize the palace ban. ”
Hearing this, the brothers couldn't help but gasp, and they showed a look of disbelief. "But the imperial city is also heavily guarded, and there are heavy troops at all four gates, so it can't be ......"
Sun Jizong paused in his footsteps, turned around, and glanced at these younger brothers, his expression was extraordinarily serious. "The Queen Mother has her own arrangements, you just need to know this, understand?"
"Understood, brother, don't worry, we know what to do." The brothers glanced at each other and nodded to Sun Jizong, the fate of the old Sun family and Zhu Qizhen is completely linked, this last fight, that is, to fight for their lives, and take all their lives and surnames.
"Wang Ke, you try to get in touch, sneak out of the brothers in the capital city, let everyone get ready, don't act without permission, all actions must wait for the official's order." At the same time, Yuan Bin rubbed his astringent and sour eyebrows, and gave the latest order to the dozen or so middle- and lower-level officers of the emperor's army who had quietly come to an inconspicuous courtyard not far from Huichangbo's mansion.
"Remember, at the time of the incident, everyone wrapped a red cloth around their left arm to distinguish between friend and foe, our target is only the imperial city, and one more point, remember not to kill innocents indiscriminately, as long as there is no resistance, no random fire."
"Also, this is a map of the imperial city, one for each of you, remember, see clearly, where the palace of the Empress Dowager is located, and where Zhu Qiyu's palace is, Wang Ke, Liu Zhongming, Zhang Yinghui, if you attack the imperial city, when the time comes, you will be responsible for the safety of the Empress Dowager, if the Empress Dowager is out of the pool, you can cut it yourself."
"The last general obeys!"
“…… A few of you led your troops straight to Zhu Qiyu's place, at all costs, to trap that Zhu Qiyu in the palace ban, remember, you must not hurt him, he is His Majesty's own brother after all, and he can't die in the hands of our His Majesty's pro-army, understand? ”
"Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely explain to every soldier, and nothing like that will happen."
"Your Majesty trusted us, so he entrusted us with this important task, don't forget, if you don't fight, you will win." Yuan Bin took a deep breath, swept over the dozen or so fierce pro-army officers in front of him, and shouted coldly.
"Yes!"
-------------------- "He's actually here?" Didn't the first two say that His Majesty the Emperor was on the grassland? Why did you already arrive at the city of Shunyi yesterday? Yu Qianfang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, received an urgent message from the Yamen of the Ministry of War, and his face couldn't help but change greatly. He stood up and shouted at the brocade guard who had sent the military report.
"The small one is not clear, but yesterday afternoon, the people outside the city were noisy, and the adults of the thousand households sent people to investigate, and it took a long time to confirm that it was the royal car of His Majesty the Emperor. didn't dare to slack off, so he specially sent his subordinates and others to Beijing to send news. The dusty brocade-clothed guard replied respectfully.
"Shunyi City...... It belongs to the jurisdiction of the general army of Jizhou Town. "Liu Qian, the squire of the military department, said with a sinking face." Sun Zhirui, the chief soldier of Jizhou Town, is afraid that he has already surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise, why didn't he see Jizhou Town report it? ”
"Shunyi City is only sixty miles away from Jingshi, if it is cavalry, it can be reached within two hours!" Yu Qian slapped the piece of information on the desk and strode towards the yamen. "Come on, prepare the horses ......"
"Yu has seen Governor Yang." Stepping up the city wall, he saw Yang Hong, who was already wearing heavy armor and standing on the tower of Desheng Gate, greeted him, and Yu Qian hurriedly gave a salute first.
"I don't dare to be, I've seen Yu Shangshu. I don't know why Yu Shangshu is here? Mo is not here to inspect the city defenses. Yang Hong returned the salute with a smile.
"The Metropolitan Governor knows that His Majesty the Emperor's royal car had arrived in Shunyi last night, and it was only sixty miles away from the capital division." Yu Qian directly invited Yang Hong to come to a secluded place with him, and said a little anxiously.
Hearing this, Yang Hong's eyebrows slowly raised: "His Majesty the Emperor has already arrived in Shunyi?" I couldn't help but be secretly surprised that His Majesty's movements were really fast, before, the court received the news, His Majesty the Emperor was still in full swing, and he didn't want to work hard in just two days, but he had already rushed to Shunyi, which was only sixty miles away from Beijing, and I am afraid that now, His Majesty the Emperor is also on the way to Beijing in Shunyi.
"The news shouldn't be wrong, according to the news from the Jinyi guard in Shunyi, there are about 30,000 soldiers and horses around the emperor, and they should all be cavalry." Yu Qian took a deep breath and finally regained some calm.
And just when the old Yang Hong wanted to speak, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from the stairs again, and everyone looked back, but saw a eunuch stepping up to the city gate tower surrounded by dozens of factory guards, and the eunuch led by Yang Hong saw that Yang Hong and Yu Qian were there, and couldn't help but squeeze out a smile and come forward happily. "Our family has seen Yu Shangshu and Yang Laodudu."
This person is Wang Cheng, the second person in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, and he is also the direct person in charge of this powerful [***] organization in Dongchang, and his official title is "Governor of Qincha Dongchang Official School Office Eunuch", referred to as "Admiral Dongchang".
"It turned out that the factory was in person, and Yang was rude." saw this eunuch who was extremely comfortable during Zhu Qizhen's period and Zhu Qiyu's time, and after Zhu Qizhen was captured in the tile, he stood by Zhu Qiyu's side almost immediately, and strongly supported Zhu Qiyu to ascend to the throne as emperor.
And after that, in order to gain a firm foothold by Zhu Qiyu's side and gain cronies, he did not hesitate to go out in person and recommended a group of officials who were unwilling to do so when Zhu Qiyu was the emperor in Zhu Qizhen, and Wang Wen was one of them.
And today, he actually came to the top of the Desheng Gate Tower in person, and he thought that he had also received the news of the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Qizhen.
Wang Cheng smiled and arched his hand: "Don't dare to be, the emperor actually took the opportunity of Banzai's serious illness to raise troops for no reason to knock on the Beijing Division, our family was ordered by the Banzai Lord, and came to inspect and supervise the city defense of the Beijing Division." ”
-------------------- "In that case, then the factory will invite it, and the governor will not accompany him." "In the past few decades, Yang Hong has seen a lot of the faces of those town guards and garrison eunuchs, and he has never had a good impression of these eunuchs. He returned a salute to that Wang Cheng and said casually.
For this high-ranking and powerful Governor Yang, seeing that he treats himself so slowly, he doesn't dare to attack too much, after all, within the Beijing Division, the only one who is in charge of the military to support the overall situation is Yang and Yu.
"In that case, then we're welcome." Wang Chengpi shook his cheeks with a smile, waved his hand stupidly, and walked towards the other side of the city tower with a large number of factory guards.
"Factory father, then Yang Hong is too much, he actually treats you like this." Next to him, a stall leader of the East Factory said with a stupid face.
Wang Cheng smiled coldly: "It's okay, that old thing will put on a face for our family, and it will be able to put on a show for a few days, and stay through this crisis." We'll have fun with him. Hmph, the three sons of his Yang Sect are all serving by His Majesty's side, and this alone will allow His Majesty to find trouble for him......"
"What the factory man said, the factory father? Factory Boss, ...... you are this" The head of the Dongchang stall saw Wang Cheng, who was sneering with a gloomy face, suddenly his face stiffened, his mouth opened widely, and his eyes looked straight ahead, and his expression like a hanged ghost startled him, and he couldn't help but ask repeatedly.
"Long live the Lord, oh no, it's the Emperor, it's the Emperor...... Here it comes. Wang Cheng raised his hand for a long time, and pointed forward with some trembling, dozens of Dongchang fans raised their heads together, looked over the female wall, and looked in the direction of the horizon, billowing smoke and dust, the dragon flag of the Ming Regiment flew in the wind, and the blood-colored torrent composed of tens of thousands of iron horses was surging towards here with an unobstructed momentum.
"He's finally here." Yang Hong strode to the side of the city wall, holding on to the wall bricks, looking at the gradual team, he couldn't help but sigh with relief and some regret.
"He's finally here......" Yu Qian's face sank like water, his eyes narrowed tightly, looking at the army that was moving forward silently, a heart full of expectation and worry, which made him take a deep breath.
"I'm finally back." Looking at the majestic Ming Yanjing and the political center that represented the Ming imperial power, Zhu Qizhen, who was on the reins, couldn't help but make such a voice in his heart.
