Chapter 739: The Border Army Enters Beijing

Two days later, the Liaodong Metropolitan Frontier Army entered Gyeonggi and was stationed in the northern suburbs outside the Beijing Division.

Outside the city, the northern suburbs of the big camp banner unfurled, 50,000 border troops into the camp, attracting hundreds of people from Beijing to go out of the city to watch, compared with the bright armor of the regiment and battalion soldiers, the border army wore a lot of worn-out clothes, and even some of the clothes and armor faintly glowed with dark red light, a little knowledgeable soldiers and the people were secretly frightened when they saw this, they knew that the dark red on the worn clothes and armor of the soldiers was blood, and the blood after drying up was either the enemy or their own.

This is a real division for the rest of the battle, exuding the fierce aura of harvesting death from the inside out, and from time to time the team sees the disabled soldiers who are missing an ear and an eye, which makes the people look sideways and awe, and also adds a lot of murderous aura to this border army.

Everyone knows that these fierce and disabled soldiers are fighting bloodily for the safety of the Ming Society and the people, every scar on their bodies, every trace of breath is left to protect the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the endless team stretches for miles, looking at this murderous army, every onlooker outside the camp gate can't help but have a strong sense of security in their hearts, because they.

The people of a country that has lived in the shadow of war for more than a hundred years know best what a mighty army means to the country.

Outside the gate of the camp in the northern suburbs, I don't know which soldier took the lead, and suddenly opened his mouth and praised loudly, "The border army of Liaodong is strong!" ”

Then all the onlookers and the people were boiling, and everyone stood on both sides of the avenue and saluted to the captain of the Liaodong border army marching to the camp.

The team still marched steadily and neatly, but the soldiers' eyes were slightly red, and their waists were straighter.

In front of the army, Ye Jinquan, the governor of Liaodong who was dressed in armor and covered with dust and frost, was riding on a horse, his face was like a brown stone that had been blown by the cold wind for thousands of years, and only when he looked at the heartfelt salute of the scholars and people on both sides of the avenue, his eyes showed a trace of warmth.

The autumn wind was rising, and the fallen leaves on the ground were swept up and flying all over the sky, Ye Jinquan looked up at the bleak sky, and let out a deep breath.

The Liaodong Frontier Army has taken over the defense of Gyeonggi, Qin Kan, how would you react?

*******************************************************************

The border army was stationed in Gyeonggi, and Zhu Houxi, who had just ascended the throne, felt uneasy, and convened the cabinet overnight to discuss with the six ministers.

The emperor's position has not yet been secured, the ministers of the court have not been cut, and his foundation is so weak that it will fall down as soon as the wind blows.

You really can't blame others for this, after all, this is the result of the cabinet and the ministers before Zhu Houxi ascended the throne.

But now that Zhu Houxi has ascended the throne and is taking over the power of the government step by step, the arrival of the border army at this time is out of place, after all, Xiao Zhu is not very familiar with the majority of border army soldiers, and he doesn't want to be too familiar with the soldiers, everyone still keeps a little distance, the farther away the more secure, close under the nose, I can't sleep and eat.

It's a pity that the views of the cabinet scholars are not quite the same as Zhu Houxi's.

Yang Tinghe resolutely opposed the transfer of the border army from the Beijing Division, one is that the army is far away, and the people who have just arrived in the Beijing Division are sleepy and lacking, if they are transferred away, the soldiers are resentful, and there is a fear of mutiny, and the other is that although the new emperor ascends the throne, the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty are not convinced, and the surface of the various fiefs is calm, but in fact, the dark tide is surging, and there are Liaodong border troops guarding Jinggi, at least the Beijing Division can be safed for a while.

Speaking of the reason, Yang Tinghe changed his words, but he also talked about the old saying of the dispute over etiquette, although the words did not urge Zhu Houxi to change his father, but the meaning was very implicit, whether the vassal kings admit to recognize you as the new emperor, it depends on how you choose, and you can recognize the first emperor of Hongzhi as your father or make the vassal kings shut up.

Yang Tinghe's words undoubtedly made Zhu Houxi angry, and the monarchs and ministers broke up unhappily, and the matter of transferring the border army from eastern Liaodong was over.

…………

At night, when the guards of the Jingshi Anding Gate were lazily preparing to close the city gate, a pair of powerful hands outside the city gate suddenly supported the slowly closed city gate.

"Wait, we're going into town."

The gatekeeper was furious, and was about to open his mouth to scold, when he looked up and saw an ivory waist card coming in from outside the door.

"Jinyi pro-army, pacification envoy, Ding"

The soldier paused for a moment, and then his expression suddenly became awe-inspiring, and he immediately opened the city gate, only to see more than a dozen men in black shirts riding on horses, looking at the city gate with indifferent expressions, while the person who handed out the ivory waist card welcomed everyone into the city very attentively.

In Beizhen Fusi, Qin Kan and Ye Jinquan, who had been separated for many years, finally met again.

In the past ten years, the two of them have been on their own side, but they have always trusted each other unreservedly, the newly developed firearms of the Beijing Division, Qin Kan always tried to make the military department mass-produce for the first time, and the first batch was shipped to Liaodong to equip the border army, and wherever there was an impeachment that was unfavorable to Ye Jinquan, Qin Kan would always find a way to suppress it, in the winter of the eleventh year of Zhengde, the Liaodong Metropolitan Supervisor of the Imperial Shi Tingyi secretly impeached the governor Ye Jinquan to eliminate dissidents, and installed cronies in the army, and even acquiesced in the killing of prisoners and other more than ten crimes by the soldiers under his command after fighting with the Tatar tribes. The court ministers were uneasy, and they asked for the removal of the governor of Liaodong, and asked Ye Jinquan about it, and Qin Kan took a lot of trouble to deal with this matter, and even took the two leaders to find a reason for the matter and put them in the edict prison, and exiled them on fabricated charges before they were quelled.

The Liaodong Frontier Army is now fighting against the Northern Tatars and gradually reversing the tide of the battle with more defeats and fewer victories, Ye Jinquan has a solid way to govern the army, and Qin Kan, who is in the Beijing Division silently escorting Liaodong, also has a lot of contributions.

The two said goodbye, each other was calm and frank, and there was not even a trace of excitement in their expressions, smiling at each other.

"After years of fighting for the country, Uncle Shi has suffered." Qin Kan gave a long salute.

"In order to protect this stormy country, Grandpa Qin suffered." Ye Jinquan put on armor and hugged his fists in return.

The two of them straightened up at the same time, raised their arms to the sky and laughed, and the hardships and hardships of the years were heroic.

A man's friendship doesn't have to be wordy, he will always be there when you need it.

*********************************************************************

Five days later, Kuaima sent a secret report from Fang Xun, the superintendent of Tianjin, which crossed the cabinet and was directly submitted to the imperial palace.

On the second day of the court meeting, the voice of the Golden Palace that was not conducive to Qin Kan became more and more complicated, according to Fang Xun's secret report, Tianjin's problem was very strict, "Tianjin Bo Si was appointed by the eunuch sent by the celebrant supervisor, and the ministers all commanded the envoy from Tianjin to the prefect, down to the city Bo Division, Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office, Dongchang head of the station, etc., all knew the same qi, almost the same qi, and the ministers were ordered to check the accounts of Donggang, but the lack of sailors was mostly obstructed, and the military and civilians in Tianjin only knew the surname Qin, but they did not know that there was a court. ”

This accusation can be described as extremely strict, almost equivalent to pointing at Qin Kan's nose and saying that he rebelled, and the voices of the court participating in the impeachment of Qin Kan naturally rose higher and higher, and Zhu Houxi's kind and cordial expression towards Qin Kan gradually began to change.

"The edict ordered Jinyi Weibei Town Fu Si to command Tongzhi Qian Ning to leave Beijing and go to Tianjin to thoroughly investigate the law."

This is Zhu Houxi's edict, and the murderous intent in the edict is clearly revealed.

Qian Ning, who was full of murderous intentions, had just left Beijing with a holy decree, but Yan Song, the secretary of the military department, turned defense into attack in the Golden Palace, kneeling on the ground and begging for another discussion of etiquette.

This mention immediately resonated with the civil and military officials in the palace.

Etiquette is currently a thorn in the hearts of hundreds of officials, all actions must be corrected first, not to mention the dignity of the Son of Heaven, if Zhu Houyu does not recognize Hongzhi as his father, he does not belong to the Hongzhi lineage, Confucian orthodoxy in the "brother to brother", the premise is that the brothers must have the same father, if you can't change your father, then what is the difference between Zhu Houxi's identity and the son of Uncle Wang next door outside the palace? Why should a good throne be given to you?

Yan Song's words made Zhu Houxi's expression immediately become very gloomy, sitting on the dragon chair and staring at him coldly for a long time, before he could think about how to deal with it, other ministers had already left their shifts in twos and threes, and asked the Son of Heaven to recognize Hongzhi as his father and give Hongzhi a title in the name of his son.

Zhu Houyu finally became angry, he was only twelve years old after all, no matter how demonic the city was in the mind, after all, his experience was too shallow, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all old foxes who had been rolling in the court for decades, how could Zhu Houyu fight.

At the court meeting, it was not surprising that the two sides of the monarch and the minister quarreled again.

Zhu Houxi and Qin Kan are both taking advantage of the situation to attack and defend each other, and the two monarchs and ministers are fighting each other like this.

The court meeting ended with Zhu Houyu angrily brushing his sleeves and leaving, however, this was only the end of Zhu Houxi's personal expectations.

The eunuch on duty shouted "Hundred officials retreat from the dynasty" with a sharp voice, and hurriedly followed Zhu Houxi back to the Jinshen Hall to change clothes, but the Chinese military officials of the hall did not move.

The dispute over etiquette is the established etiquette system of Confucianism, the principle of courtiers, the principle cannot be broken, and if the name is not right, it is not good, what is the point of letting this emperor who does not want to recognize his father ascend the throne? Wouldn't the country that belonged to the Hongzhi lineage be handed over to others from now on? The great country has neither internal nor external troubles, but inexplicably lost the country to the sidelines, what kind of infamy will these ministers leave in the history books in the future?

The ministers in the hall were silent, silent, and unmoved, and a terrible storm took shape in the silence.

"Confucius set the ritual system, the world is safe, and the ritual music is extended for thousands of years, how can the Holy Son of Heaven be abolished? Yan is not talented, and he is willing to die! In the silent hall, Yan Song gritted his teeth and drank a deafening word.

Immediately afterwards, an usually inconspicuous but very big person stood up for the court, but this person was Yang Shen.

said that he is inconspicuous because of his official position, the general political secretary Zuo Senator, a small four-grade civil official, said that he has a big background, because his identity is very conspicuous, he is not only the son of Yang Tinghe, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the dynasty, but also the champion of Zhengde for six years, and the eldest son of Qin Kan, the prince of Ningguo, the teacher of the little grandfather Qin Kang.

When Yan Song raised his arms and shouted, Yang Shen was the first to stand up and shouted an inspiring and shining famous sentence.

"I'm going with Yan Shangshu! The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, and the war is dying and righteousness, and it is today! ”
