Chapter 59: Wang Mang's Modesty and Humility (7)
The assignment of everything has been decided, and a group of people went down to get busy, leaving Yi Ying alone by the side, Zhao Kun took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.
However, Yi Ying had a different opinion, "Sect Master, why don't we launch it in the capital?" You're in charge of the military department, and this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. According to me, simply, send troops to transfer troops into Beijing, come to a Xuanwumen mutiny, stew them with a spoonful, and help you ascend the throne! Now it may not be possible to do it on the Rehe side, and after it becomes the capital, it is still two to say whether the capital side will recognize it or not......"
"We can only take advantage of Qianlong's time in Chengde. In the capital, there are nine city soldiers and horses, outside the good battalion Jianrui battalion, Xiao cavalry battalion, guard battalion, Fengtai camp Tongzhou battalion, and the inner nine cities There are also eight banner guards and inner guards, can you listen to my dispatch? ”
As he spoke, Zhao Kun glanced at Yi Ying and sighed. This woman's rebellion is a good hand, but these things at the top are as simple as the woman who has watched too many dramas said.
"You didn't think about it? Since ancient times, the prince is the prince and the loser is the thief. Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, and the yellow robe was added, who said anything in later generations? But no! Near the Beijing Division, there are many troops loyal to Qianlong, and there are only 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers outside. In the hands of the Admiral of the Nine Gates alone, there are 20,000 horses. If you are not careful, we will let people make dumplings. ”
"Even if the people of Xishan plus the children of the sect and the personal soldiers and guards in the palace in the palace, they will not reach 40,000 anyway. In the name of the Ministry of War, he issued a tiger talisman and falsely claimed that it was easy for someone in the capital to rebel. But if you want to transfer the battalion soldiers in, it will be difficult to get rid of the rebellion. That's right, the soldiers are fast, as long as they take one move first, seal the Heart Cultivation Hall and the Qianqing Palace, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes, who dares to say half a word? ! But this crucial step can't be taken at all! ”
"So, we have to do it now! Don't look at the more than 30,000 people who follow me, I can't control this. I can only use the name of King Zhuang to Qin Wang, let the chief official press the more than 30,000 people to disperse, and the people who have knocked the medicine go to the summer resort, and I will gather the soldiers and horses in Chengde City, dial/chaos/anti/positive, and knock the medicine to beat him back. In this way, the emperor is finished, and King Zhuang's rebellion has to be confined, and I am slowly gathering power here, not only taking the position, but also not having to carry the blame, and having face inside, so as to live up to my name as the first virtuous king of the Qing Dynasty! ”
――――――――――
Before the second watch, Hongday got up. The Immortal Sect members around him had already gathered the minions brought by the prince. Hongday changed into court clothes, hung court beads, braided, and went out in full clothes. He didn't need to say anything, leaving a large number of people to guard the courtyard, and he left straight away with more than 20 horsemen.
At this time, some of the flag camps accompanying them to Chengde had begun to become agitated.
The reincarnation of the Zhenghuang Banner has long been gathered, and the commander of the army who came to follow this time, Sabima, is a slave personally raised by Qianlong, but he is also the main general who will send troops to storm the palace and seize power by force this time.
The reincarnation party had already received batches of Dragon and Tiger Pills or Daqingguo Jujube Pills, and they began to prepare at night. Taking advantage of the opportunity that the grandfathers who arrived in Chengde on the first day had not herded the sheep, they took advantage of the time of dinner to prepare to stop, just waiting for the eunuchs in the palace of the sixteenth prince to come over - the chief eunuch in Prince Zhuang's mansion was a member of the Changsheng Sect.
Hearing the news, the group first gathered, and then Sabima gathered together the three battalions of the Entourage—the Cavalry Battalion, the Guard Battalion, and the Forward Battalion—and ordered the flag in his hand, just waiting for the messenger to come.
Sure enough, a little eunuch came in with a golden arrow (high imitation), and as soon as he entered the hall, he inserted the gold medal arrow into the incense case in the middle. When the generals saw it, they were all stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and the mountain shouted long live.
In this big camp, three or four out of ten high-ranking generals are reincarnated. In order to control the ranks, this ratio is also among the middle and lower ranks. And these people were enough to maintain order and make everyone accept this 'Mongol prince rebelled, colluded with the minister of military aircraft, put the emperor under house arrest with a pro-military camp, and immediately drove to the summer resort with Sabima's troops and horses. 'The Holy Decree.
Of course, there is no such thing, everything in the summer resort is peaceful, the edict they serve is fake, and the so-called pro-military camp that guards the emperor is also fake, but what they want is the name of the protector of King Qin.
The ones stationed in the summer resort were just some pro-military camps, that is, Lang Wei. The name sounds quite big, but the combat effectiveness is actually sparse.
The pro-army battalion was mainly responsible for defending the court and arming as the emperor's entourage, and was the pro-army by the emperor's side. All the officers and soldiers were selected from the so-called three banners such as Zhenghuang, Zhengbai, and Huang, and each of the three banners sent two people to lead them. And the following composition is all kinds of imperial guards, Qianqingmen guards, third-class guards and other guards and guards pro-army troops.
This unit has been in peace for a long time, and although it has been conducting drills from time to time, it has never seen a battle, and its combat effectiveness is worrying. But to say that this team of people who are only born in the Three Banners, and the supervisor is either a trusted minister or a team of pro-noble ministers will rebel, it is nonsense.
But what's the matter?
There are many reincarnators in the Zhenghuang Banner in the guard battalion, and the commanders of the Zhenghuang Banner in the three battalions of the Xiaocai Battalion, the Guard Battalion, and the Forward Battalion who came to follow him this time are also their people.
Sabima, who received the order, inspected the generals below, shouting by name while rewarding them according to their ranks. After a while, these generals will be promoted to one level. Then, he issued a military order, what to do with doubts, how to make the summoned, and what about the reincarnated...... Someone took the people of the department to move to Chengde, and someone went to the summer resort with him...... In short, all sent new envoys.
At the end, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, if you can be loyal to the king, you are a good courtier, and the master will take credit for you." According to the assignment just now, let's send troops! ”
So the big battalion horn sounded, and the 30,000 soldiers who had already been prepared all went out and rushed to the new defensive ground. Sabima personally brought three thousand strong troops—all of them who had already taken the Dragon Tiger Strength Pill—Pegasus, to the summer resort. This large camp was not far from the palace, and when it ran out of more than two miles, it met the guards and pro-army. The problem is that the banner man of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion has already taken too many drugs, and the commander said that the guards are against the army, let's go to King Qin, so without saying a word, he will go up with his weapons and do it.
Although the 3,000 cavalry galloped along the way, at least 500 of them were thrown off their horses - it didn't matter, they rolled and ran after them, and everyone knew the state after they were drugged - but the total number of guards was only 2,000.
-- The Imperial Guards were the Emperor's personal guards, and were in charge of the Imperial Ministers, and the personnel were all selected from the Upper Three Banners, with a total of about 600 officers and soldiers. In addition, there are hundreds of Lan Ling guards and clan guards, as well as more than 1,400 guards selected from the three flags of Manchu and Mengshang. But these people still have to guard the Forbidden City, and it is impossible to bring them all to Chengde......
