That is, one day and one night's work, the vanguard of Xuzhou has seen the face of the Wenchen in the capital, and a cadre of people rushed up, saying that he was a cronie and nephew of a certain prince's uncle's family, saying that he was the chief and confidant of a certain man's family, and there was only one thing to talk about.

Some people say that they can gather their own family Ding Minzhuang to make chaos in the city, and some say that they are quite influential in the Beijing camp, and they can say that they are willing to move troops and horses to act anyway, and some people say that they are willing to be lobbyists for Xuzhou to persuade the royal family and officials in the city to surrender.

This kind of behavior made Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang disgusted, they thought that they would meet loyal Ming courtiers, but they didn't expect it to be a group of shameless people, and it was difficult to judge the truth of the other party, after all, these people are likely to pretend to be sincere, but secretly they have something insidious.

"It's impossible for all of us to come to surrender, this will inevitably take our brothers for fools!" Ji Xiang said with emotion.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang felt more and more that Zhao Jin's decision was correct, if they were in a hurry to change the dynasty, Zhao Jiajun and Xuzhou would not have enough manpower, and they would have to rely on these people to help with the plan, but after seeing the appearance of these people, how could they rest assured, how could they be expected to help take over and take over, or practice their own internal skills and come by themselves.

Coming to the capital to meet Shi Manqiang and Ji Xiang was Zhuang Liu's division of the Second Regiment of the First Brigade, with a scale of 1,000 or hundreds of people, and after using a large number of mules and horses, their march was very fast, and there was no delay on the way.

No matter how elite and strong the strength of this regiment is, it is nothing to the huge capital, Zhao Jin naturally knows this, but the second regiment of the first brigade came with three cannons, two twelve-pounder guns and one sixteen-pounder cannon, not so much the second regiment came, but the second regiment escorted these three cannons.

"The general has an order, and the war is forced to make peace, and in these three days, the artillery must be bombarded on the tower of the capital!" Zhuang Liu brought Zhao Jin's order, and everyone agreed solemnly.

Zhuang Liu's side also brought the movements of the Zhao Jiajun Brigade in Tianjin, and the headquarters of the Zhao Jiajun had already pulled out the camp and headed north, but did not come directly to Tongzhou along the canal to approach the Beijing Division, but prepared to stop between Xianghe County and Baodi County.

**********

The situation inside and outside the capital has become stable, if it were not for the mobilization of the army outside the city, the banner of the Zhao family army fluttering in the east of the capital, this is completely a peaceful scene.

"The governor of Datong and the general army reported that the captive chief Lin Dan Khan seemed to have a strange move, and gathered tens of thousands of horsemen from Chahar and Tumut to prepare to go south, and the soldiers and horses on all sides of Shanxi did not dare to leave without permission, if the border air defense was weak, and the Tatars took advantage of the weakness, then the whole territory of Shanxi was not guaranteed, and now Xuanda dispatched troops and horses to suppress thieves, and there was also a risk in Gyeonggi, from the overall situation, Datong and Shanxi border troops did not dare to move."

"The governor of Xuanda reported that the loss of Xuanfu was strict, and the people of the border army were impetuous, not to mention that the grassland Tatars were eyeing each other, if the Xuanfu soldiers and horses were transferred again, I was afraid that there would be a mutiny."

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, the eunuch Wang Tiqian chanted the following folds in a muffled voice, every time he read a letter, everyone's faces were darkened, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was full of anger, the first assistant Ye Xianggao had already sparsely begged for bones, and he was not qualified to participate in the court discussion, and the position of the first assistant was vacant, if it was in the past, it must have been the qualified bigwigs who fought for their heads and blood, but now no one pays attention to it at all, so as not to bear the responsibility, not to mention that the position of the first assistant must belong to Sun Chengzong, and it is meaningless for everyone to fight.

Everyone originally thought that Zhao Nanxing, the secretary of the ministry, presided over the peace meeting has been regarded as a fall, and Ye Xianggao Zhishi has also become a foregone conclusion, so the next cabinet should be Wei Zhongxian's party dominance, but I didn't expect Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be promoted quickly, and they didn't encounter any resistance in the court push, so they entered the cabinet like this, plus Sun Chengzong, who will definitely be the first assistant, the distribution of power in this dynasty, Wei Zhongxian's party is not even as good as before the Xuzhou soldiers and horses occupied Tianjin.

People who are familiar with the inside story also know that in the changes of the six cabinet departments and various important yamen, Wei Zhongxian was not too involved, and these positions could have been swept away by the eunuch party, but Wei Zhongxian did not make any moves here, it is said that there are a lot of grievances within the eunuch party, but there are bitter and mean characters who say that in such a time of crisis, the house slaves are afraid that the family business will be ruined, and their own family is not settled, and the Qing guests are wondering whether the next family will be better, and it is really hard to say who is loyal and who is traitorous.

"They are so bold, the capital division is in danger, I issued an order to summon the soldiers and horses of the King Qin, but none of them came one by one, what face do they have to be this official, I will condemn them" Emperor Tianqi said with a pale face.

Compared with the anger of the Son of Heaven, the expressions of the eunuchs and ministers were very subtle, even Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were stubborn Qingliu, with a helpless wry smile on their faces, everyone, look at me, I will look at you, and finally focused on Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian coughed dryly, leaned over and whispered: "Long live Lord, don't do the affairs of the governors, at such a moment, those border town generals don't want to move, and they can't help it." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he realized something, and then the whole person became depressed, waved his hand and said, "Where is Master Sun?" ”

The border army of the nine sides is obedient and loyal on the surface, but when it comes to the real life and death, they often take self-preservation as the first, which is also a number of precedents, just now the Emperor of the Apocalypse did not think about it in anger, and after being reminded, he immediately knew what was going on. The generals of the border army often have secret communication with the Ministry of Answering Me, have a tacit understanding with each other, and sit idly by.

The authority and skill of the two emperors Yingzong Orthodoxy and Sejong Jiajing were much stronger than the Apocalypse, and the country was much stronger than it is now, but the border town generals did their own thing, and it was already a common thing to ignore the overall situation in order to protect themselves, and now the situation is much more dangerous than then, not to mention that the border troops of Datong and Xuanfu have already come, and they have suffered a fiasco, so they will naturally return to their old tricks and delay without moving.

In the current situation, if it is forced to be tight, let these border town generals mutiny, it will really be the end of the collapse of the Great Tomorrow, the courtiers and eunuchs first want to understand this truth, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse also understood after being reminded, and now only Sun Chengzong's reinforcements can be counted on.

"Back to the Long Live Lord, there is no news from Sun Ge Lao's side, the slave has already ordered, once there is a letter, send it directly first, without delay!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly replied.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded sullenly, he glanced at the people in the house, whether it was the eunuch party who was attacked by Qingliu as a traitor to the country, or a few who were honest and self-controlled, known as the pillars of the country, at this time they were all full of sadness, no one looked at the way, there were only 5,000 thieves outside the city, nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses on the books in the city, and a population of nearly 1 million, but he was forced into such a situation, the Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't understand why this was the case, he only knew that when he thought of it, his blood was surging, and his head seemed to explode.

Then there was no result to discuss, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou were willing to supervise the battle, but they couldn't come up with any way, only said that the forbidden army Beijing camp was more than 100,000, not to rush in and move lightly, everyone moved forward bravely, and would rather die than retreat, but according to what Wang Zaijin said, the officers and troops on the Tianjin side also did not advance, and they were defeated by the other party in the battle, to say that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the capital, it is really not as good as the 60,000 or 70,000 troops gathered from all walks of life, they are all collapsed over there, what is the certainty here, it is not that you are not afraid of death, it is enough for you to have the heart of martyrdom, When the time comes, defeat or defeat.

What others are saying is to gather the soldiers and horses of the king of the world and train the new army, which is all a cliché, and it has proved to be a failure in the previous meetings, and this training of the new army is completely far from quenching the thirst of the near and far from affecting the overall situation at all, and the reason why it was put forward is just that I am afraid that there is nothing to say.

Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's the fact that Jizhen is very close to Jingshi, and there is no need to delay too long to get back and forth, and after asking over there is a stick of incense, there is a little eunuch who ran quickly to send the urgent letter to this Wenyuan Pavilion, I heard that it was the news of Sun Ge Lao, everyone was concerned about the abnormality, this was almost the only life-saving straw, Wei Zhongxian disregarded his identity and status, and quickly walked to the door to get the letter, and the little eunuch outside the door was directly frightened to kneel on the ground.

"Companion, read it!" The Emperor of the Apocalypse did not answer the letter, but excitedly asked Wei Zhongxian to read it, and anyone could see that the Apocalypse regarded this as a savior.

“…… Long live the lord, Sun Ge Lao led more than 5,000 Jiliao elite horsemen, and rushed back day and night, and 40,000 elite soldiers of Jizhen Liaozhen were also coming. After Wei Zhongxian opened the letter, he said excitedly, everyone in the room had an excited expression, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse was no longer depressed.

Who doesn't know that this Liaozhen iron cavalry is unparalleled, although it can't beat the Jianzhou Jurchen, but it is already a first-class elite of the Ming Dynasty, when he entered the dynasty and went north to the grassland to fight against Mongolia, they are all great achievements, this time all the soldiers and horses have met with the Xuzhou thief army, only this Liao town has not yet been dispatched, maybe this Guanning iron cavalry moves, and immediately destroys the thief army.

Those who don't understand military affairs also know how to count, this is more than 5,000 fine horses, plus this Sun Ge Lao has been operating the border for many years, knows the art of war, and has a lot of generals, such a character returns to Beijing, that is, Dinghai Shenpin, everyone has the backbone, not to mention the current political situation in Beijing, Qingliu Donglin is still breathing, and the eunuch party does not dare to take responsibility, which is equivalent to no one presiding, chaos everywhere, Sun Ge Lao came back, he served as the first assistant, with his qualifications and prestige as the emperor, plus this Wei Zhongxian's obvious concession, he will definitely be able to reorganize the situation.
