Chapter 142: Military Coup

"Could it be that my second brother couldn't hold it back, so he made this decision to seek power and usurp the throne in the name of military advice? This is unlikely, find out who the commander of this armored unit is, quickly." Li Yuande suddenly thought of a problem, and hurriedly asked Wang Boren to investigate, and also called the orderlies to notify the intelligence department to investigate the commander of the armored unit together.

The result soon came over, the commander of this armored unit was surnamed Zhao, called Zhao Changgui, and had some connections with the Zhao family in the capital, but he was not a person from the Zhao family, and he was considered an old subordinate of the second prince Li Yuanyi, how could he make such a move, which is very puzzling.

Li Yuande and Wang Boren discussed, at this time, they could not withdraw the troops, but first look at the development of the situation, the armored troops broke through the defense line of the Beijing garrison to encircle Gyeonggi, this is a major event that can shock the world, what kind of reaction will the garrison make, so the two decided to wait and see the changes first, to see the development of the situation, if this is a double play performed by Li Yuanren and the second prince, the purpose is to directly recover the power, then it is another matter.

This armored unit of the Northern Military Region is the most well-equipped armored unit of the Celestial Empire, equipped with the most advanced tanks, armored vehicles, and self-propelled guns in the world today, and is extremely mobile, and its attack power belongs to this unit except for the Second Artillery Corps of the Southern Military Region.

The four major military regions of the Celestial Empire had their own characteristics, the armored units of the Northern Military District, and the artillery units of the Southern Military District. The Air Force of the Eastern Military District, as well as the infantry special forces of the Western Military District, have distinctive characteristics.

Not long after, the communication battalion received an order from the new successor king, and the troops were assembled on the south side of Gyeonggi, ready to be King Qin at any time, and the second prince Li Yuanyi had arrived in the capital alone by special plane to show his innocence, and returned to the Tianwang's mansion to wait for the king's questioning.

Before the commanders of the two military districts in the east and south could react, the communication was cut off. When the news came again, it was already in the afternoon of the same day, and the commander of the armored forces besieging Gyeonggi, Zhao Changgui, suddenly ordered the troops to move again, and without firing a single shot, they advanced into the capital, occupied the capital's major transportation arteries, airports, radio, television and other media buildings, and surrounded the central bank and other financial institutions.

Even the Senate and the House of Representatives were surrounded, and the only exchange of fire of the sudden incident took place, and soon the news came again, the buildings of the two houses were destroyed, and all the staff of the two houses, including the Prime Minister Qian Wuwang, were killed. When the news came, there was an uproar in the Celestial Empire, and the people were all angry, and some people in the capital had begun to organize a march, accompanied by hooligans who began to assemble, and the smashing and looting incidents gradually began to rise.

After these news came, the communication connection was interrupted again, and it was not until noon the next day that the communication began to be restored, and the bad news came again, last night a group of hooligans attacked the troops besieging the Central Bank, burned several armored vehicles, the troops were forced to evacuate, the Central Bank was occupied by these hooligans, and in a few hours, the Central Bank vaults were ransacked. Leaving only a lonely bank building and a few burned-out military vehicles, crying in the wind.

"Bullshit!" After Li Yuande heard the news, he went crazy, and his anger surged up irrepressibly, "This is just bullshit, the troops surrounding the Central Bank were defeated by a few hooligans? Li Yuande's enraged face was distorted, and he had lost his former elegance.

Wang Boren, commander of the Eastern Military Region, who had come to the jurisdiction of the Southern Army, sat aside without joy or anger, just holding his chin and thinking about it, and after a while, Li Yuande, who had calmed down, seemed to smell a hint of conspiracy from this incident.

"No, Lao Wang, this should be a premeditated robbery, so what is their purpose?" Anger made people lose their minds, and Li Yuande, who had regained his composure, came back to his senses again.

Wang Boren nodded appreciatively, and said with a sneer on his face, "Fourth Prince, you are right, this must be a premeditated robbery, the troops involved can bombard the buildings of the Senate and the House of Representatives, but they are helpless against a group of hooligans, is this possible?"

"Wait!" Li Yuande seemed to have grasped something, and suddenly asked, "Old Wang, can you guess what they are going to do next?"

"What's next?" Wang Boren looked at Li Yuande suspiciously, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Can you guess the next step for this kind of thing?" I can only figure out what has happened, and I can't guess the next step." โ€

"I guess the next step is that the king will announce that the rebels have surrendered or have been annihilated, and since the institutions of the two chambers have been destroyed, the king will temporarily exercise power on behalf of the prime minister until a new prime minister and cabinet are elected. The whole country declared a state of martial law, and then began the endless phase of arresting hooligans, and finally the money in the coffers could not be recovered. Li Yuande raised his head, looked at the barracks tent and said while thinking.

"Alas, this is their real purpose, a conspiracy to seize power, my eldest brother, seeing that he is usually honest and honest, it turns out that we have all been deceived by him, and he is the most shrewd of the four of our brothers. If my father had not been in good health, I don't think any of this would have happened, and he would have rightfully succeeded to the throne, and with his shrewdness, the seizure of power was under his control, alas. Li Yuande wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and bowed his head silently.

Wang Boren saw that the fourth prince was so depressed, and he couldn't say anything, no matter how he said it, this was also their Li family's own business, the world belonged to the Li family, whether it was delegating power or receiving power, in fact, it had nothing to do with them outsiders.

The king of heaven did not let go of power completely, in order to have a smooth transition period for the transfer of power, the four major military regions were handed over to the control of the four princes, but the third prince Li Yuandao gave up the earthly affairs and devoted himself to cultivation, so the Eastern Military Region was handed over to him, an outsider Wang Boren to manage, Wang Boren and Li Yuande have lived together since childhood, and the relationship is quite good, whether it is school or work, they all claim to be dead friends, the Wang family is not only loyal to the Li family of the king of heaven for generations, but also the descendant of the foreign surname of the king, the mother of the king of heaven is the aunt of the old head of the Wang family, and it is also a relative in ancient timesใ€‚

The Western Military Region is also the descendant of the old king, the commander Wang Xianfeng has saved the name of the king of heaven many times during the three wars, although this Wang Xianfeng is also surnamed Wang, but he is not a member of the royal family in the capital, he is an orphan, was taken back by the father of the king, accompanied the king of heaven since childhood, the outbreak of the three world wars, it is this Wang Xianfeng and the king of heaven were born and died together, and made great contributions.

Although the Western Military Region is dominated by infantry, its penetration and combat capability is no worse than that of the armored units of the Northern Military Region, and the two major military regions have held many military exercises, all of which ended in the victory of the Western Military Region.

If the four major military regions are measured by the index of military morale, the western military regions are the most united, and within the military regions, from the commanders of the various group armies down to the platoon-level cadres, they only obey the command of Wang Xianfeng.

So in the Celestial Empire, there was such a situation, the army was controlled by the Heavenly King's Mansion, the power was handed over to the Prime Minister, and the two houses were to execute, fortunately, the Heavenly King never interfered in politics, no matter what decrees the government issued, the Heavenly King did not intervene, except for the army, he really did it to return the government to the people.
