Chapter 214: The Pain of the Long Night

Zhang Yong was the first to go to the arsenal, and ordered the gun supervisor to open the door and arm the three general men who were going to crush the battalions.

Now there is a situation of unequal equipment in the five military camps.

But there may be a potential fear of dark waves, and there are many people.

Zhang Yong rushed to the side of the herald sentry, and behind him was a general group of men and horses who surrounded him vigilantly.

Hearing his words, the herald sentry quickly replied to the situation, and Zhang Yong immediately looked at the bell general with an unkind expression, and said in a cold voice: "Our family has arrived, and you also suspect that our family came to the Fifth Military Camp to falsely preach the holy decree like Zhang Wei?" ”

He is not called Hui'anbo, nor is he called Admiral, but by his first name.

What kind of character is Zhang Yong? The palm print of the imperial horse supervisor, the admiral eunuch of the entire Beijing camp, has gone through the four dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi, Zhengde and Jiajing.

Although he was only a little eunuch during the Chenghua and Hongzhi years, he later came to the East Palace to serve Emperor Zhengde and became one of the famous Eight Tigers in the early years of Zhengde.

Now, he is the only minister among the Eight Tigers who still serves as a prominent minister, and in the sixteenth year of Zhengde's Ganzhou Mutiny, he also went to the northwest to behead Li Long, the general soldier of Ganzhou.

Now, the bell is always stared at by Zhang Yong, and his hairs stand on end.

Behind Zhang Yong were five hundred soldiers with armor and upper body, swords and guns, and bows and arrows.

“…… The incident happened suddenly, and the general was confused for a while...... The last general will listen to the order! ”

Zhang Yong just nodded, and another fast horse galloped outside the camp: "Report!" Governor! Governor! The ten battalions of the city guard mutinied, and Lei Qian was always suppressing! ”

“…… Leave a sentry, and you go for reinforcements! ”

There were only 500 men there, and a battalion was to be suppressed, and reinforcements were the first order.

Zhang Yong turned his head and looked at the bell commander with a cold look in his eyes: "If the Seventh Battalion wants to mutiny, it should be early!" If you obey the order, leave the camp immediately and rush to the school field! ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his knife and looked at Mr. Zhong: "Still not moving?!" ”

“…… Governor, we can also lead reinforcements......"

Zhang Yongdao pointed to a bold Qianzong: "Since our family is with Dingguo Gong, the five military camps can't make waves!" Save this strength for the future, and now give our family to the school to listen to the order! The soldiers of the seventh battalion retreated to the barracks, and those who violated the order were immediately beheaded! ”

He is also a little big, and the courage to fight the men is indeed big.

It's all at this joint, and I dare to interject and ask for help to grab the credit.

As for whether it is a statement or really greedy and brave, it is impossible to distinguish in detail.

Now, Zhang Yong only needs to separate the middle and low-level generals from the ordinary soldiers, and announce their hearts.

The 10th Battalion of the City Guard is really a mess now, and once it is puffed up, the people who are suppressed will not be able to tell who is the first evil and who is innocent.

"If you don't have weapons in your hands, don't listen to the traitors who are clamouring to return to the barracks, and they will be regarded as meritorious and innocent!" Lei Quanyi roared loudly there, "Zhang Wei is a rebel, do you want to be punished by the clan?" The surname Pan is surnamed Tian! Your sins are unforgivable, even if you rush out of the camp, can you outrun the fast horses of the three thousand battalions? Dingguo Gong first transferred troops from the 3,000 battalions, and the Janissaries of the five military camps in the palace also arrived in a moment! ”

He didn't know why the two thousand commanders who guarded the tenth battalion of the city were so bold and why they were clamoring for mutiny.

But since there is already chaos, then these are all officers and soldiers who are causing chaos.

In the camp of the 10th battalion in the city, the battle was a street fight.

Although the officers and men of the 10th battalion were not armed, they always had weapons in the battalion.

Nearly 2,000 men, some of whom were defending themselves against their attack, others were preparing to break through the camp and flee at the edge of the camp. How could Lei Quanyi bring a total of men and horses to surround this battalion of men and horses solidly?

The most fearful situation is that once they break through the camp wall, other soldiers who are afraid of innocent people will also flee with them, and even arouse the fear of nearby camps.

With so many people shouting and killing here, you can know how far it will spread when you think about it.

There is also a guard tower on top of the camp wall, which has naturally been replaced by Zhang Yongxin's people at this moment, and Zhang Yong's bow and arrows continue to shoot at the hundreds of people who are fighting to dismantle the wooden camp.

There were also two teams of men running from side to side with torches, dodging arrows to set fire to the two nearby watchtowers.

Both sides are scrambling for time.

Lei Quanyi ordered with a calm face: "Push the side van forward!" If you don't go back to the barracks, don't worry about it, and give Lao Tzu a bang! Summons the order to the side of the camp wall, and tell the second outpost to hurry over! ”

In the twelfth year of orthodoxy, the Ming army began to gradually restore the chariot soldiers.

In the first year of Jingtai, there was a new chariot called the partial van. This partial van can be up to one foot and three feet long, and one side of it is covered with leather on a wooden board for defense, and there are holes left in the wooden board.

Each side car was equipped with four guns, a cannon, and in another car crew, there was also a strong archer, two shield bearers, two long knife hands, and ten armor soldiers.

Lei Quanyi's third battalion of the car army is such a Ming "armored car" unit.

At present, in the barracks, the mutinous officers and soldiers want to seize the three outposts and weapons left here by Lei Quanyi, although there are many people, the gap in the equipment in their hands is too great.

But Lei Quanyi was very dissatisfied when he saw the effect of the small cannon bombarded out of the side car.

Naturally, the other party also carried a plank or something to defend.

"Fuck, when will the new artillery and new tanks on the Shenji Battalion be equipped with our Fifth Army Battalion?" Lei Quanyi muttered and continued to roar, "What are the long swordsmen and armorers afraid of? All for Lao Tzu to rush from behind! If the car can't be pushed, don't push it! ”

In front of the side van, the road was already blocked by the killed rebels.

Most of the remaining rebels relied on the bunkers in the camp, or shot them with the only bows and arrows left here, or threw torches or something in this direction.

The chariot soldiers are not used to fight this kind of "street fighting", and when they rush out, they may be shot from behind by their own guns and guns.

Lei Quanyi gritted his teeth: "Only those five barracks!" Other long swordsmen and armor soldiers, and Lao Tzu rushed! ”

If you don't hurry up and kill those evildoers, these rebels can't be controlled.

Lei Quanyi himself held a long knife and rushed to the depths of the camp first, going straight to the direction where they wanted to break the camp wall, and cut people when they saw them.

On the other side of the camp wall, the second outpost under Lei Quanyi's command finally arrived, and a fire had already ignited under the two guard towers, and the archers above retreated to the farther guard towers in a panic.

The sentry officer commanding the second post saw the situation not far away and immediately shouted: "Don't open the gun! Fuck, don't help them blast the camp walls. Kill it directly! ”

Although there are really a lot of people on the other side, and the hundred or so of them are almost one enemy, they can't care so much.

It is their military order to bomb and suppress the battalions, and if these people are allowed to escape from the five military camps and become rogues, it will be a crime.

"The Governor has already said it! After today, everyone will be paid twice and will be rewarded! Kill! ”

"Kill!"

A sentinel here arrived here to block their back road, and the reinforcements from the two sentinels from Mali brought by Zhang Yong finally arrived.

And to the south outside Beijing, there were indeed a thousand cavalry rushing to the east under the leadership of Qiu Luan.

Qiu Luan's eyes lit up.

After Guo Xun left the Shenji Battalion, after he arrived at the 3000 Battalion, he was the chief officer of the 5th Division, one of the five divisions that was still established under the 3000 Battalion.

Under the five divisions, it is the real elite main force of the 3,000 battalions.

There are four generals of the Shangzhi Ming Jiaguan army under the sentry horse camp alone, as well as tiger killers and attendant battalions.

Now, Qiu Luan led the two cavalry under the sentry horse battalion and went straight to the fifth army camp.

This is just a task to track down potential deserters, and although Qiu Luan is young, he is not afraid.

Your Majesty is also young, and this is the time for meritorious service!

The southern suburbs of Beijing are not uninhabited, and the original small school outside Xuanwu Gate, and now the 3,000 battalion have left a thousand horsemen in a hurry, and many people have seen this news.

It didn't look like he had gone out of the camp to practice at the 3,000 Battalion Horse Farm that was continuing to be renovated as before.

Shen Wenzhou, who came out of the city, also heard the news, so his face changed.

It stands to reason that with Hui Anbo's identity, it is impossible for him to be questioned because of Li Xiang's corpse impeachment case, right?

That's a five-army camp with tens of thousands of people!

Since this is the case, and having contacted Kong Zhewen, Shen Wenzhou felt that it was time to walk earlier.

Seeing that he had hired a carriage from the carriage and horse shop outside the city and headed east, two people, one big and one small, stood up from the tea stall next to the carriage and horse shop.

"Uncle Li, what should I do? Wang Zhenfu confessed, if he saw him enter the city, he only stared at him first. Now I don't know what happened to the Fifth Military Camp, and the direction he went seemed to be Tongzhou. ”

The person who spoke was a young man who looked to be just fourteen or fifteen years old, and the person next to him was already a middle-aged man who was nearly forty years old, and he looked like an ordinary father and son.

The middle-aged man was a little hesitant, "You just follow me to experience it first......"

"This is not the direction of his return to the Fifth Military Camp, he must have heard the wind and wanted to escape! When you were drinking tea just now, you also heard them say that there are 1,000 horsemen out of the 3,000 camps! Uncle Li, don't hesitate! Since Wang Zhenfu had already gone to the Fifth Army Camp, it was nothing more than whether to arrest him early or late. Even if you don't find any solid evidence on the spot, you won't vomit out anything when you go to prison. But if he goes to Tongzhou and escapes, will we still chase him to the south? I'm going back to school tomorrow! ”

The middle-aged man looked at him: "How are your fists and feet?" ”

The young man grinned: "In the martial arts of the year after tomorrow, I will definitely be able to win the championship!" ”

“…… Okay, then rent two horses to catch up first! The middle-aged man looked at the light in his eyes, "You can only practice your hands, and after capturing him, I will go directly to the Fifth Army Camp." Lu Bing, you can't go with me anymore. ”

Lu Bing, who was already fifteen years old, nodded again and again.

It's just a matter of catching a scholar, the important thing is that the master agrees that he will go through the training with Li Yi and see how the newly established special service guards in the capital in the Jinyi Guard behave.

This Li Yi is not small. The fifth grandson of Cao Guogong and Li Wenzhong, King of Wujing of Qiyang, is now the uncle of Li Xing, the commander of the Jinyi Guard in Nanjing.

His brother Li Lian was only a commander of Jiludu, but Li Yi was really on an errand in Nanjing Jinyi Guard before, and was transferred to Beijing by Wang Zuo.

Now, Li Yi also knew Wang Zuo's intention of sending this beauty to him, the chief flag officer of the special service shadow guard in the capital.

The lords are important, but in connection with the new law, it is mainly the gentry who are planning behind the scenes.

Zhang Wei's staff master is the clue to the next big wave.

Lu Bing was very excited: Although he will not repay him this time, after His Majesty's sister-in-law is also born, he can always go with his father to drink a cup of wedding wine, right?

He's fifteen!

In the forbidden palace, Zhu Houxi has not yet arrived at the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Lu Song was guarding here, and when he saw the counselors coming out with solemn faces, he couldn't help but step forward and shouted: "Cui Shence!" ”

Because they were worried that staying in the palace at night would make the capital uneasy, the counselors decided to leave the palace first.

After such a long time, only one news came back from the Fifth Army Camp: Zhang Wei resisted the order and led his troops to besiege and kill Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo, but he had obviously been captured.

This is the worst-case scenario, so the 3,000 battalions have already been mobilized, and whether the tens of thousands of five military battalions can be suppressed by Xu Guangzuo, Zhang Yong, and Wang Zuo together is very important.

The city still doesn't know the news from the five military camps, and the Hui'an Bo Mansion and the Zhufu are calm.

But every moment passes, I don't know if anyone or news will come back.

However, in the forbidden palace, there is also one thing that is very important: the queen is about to give birth, and there is no news of the successful birth of the prince at this moment.

"Lu Tongzhi?"

Cui Yuan turned his head to look at him, looking a little anxious.

Lu Song heard Huang Jinchuan's will just now, and at this time he could only say: "The dog has to be off today, but with the permission of Wang Zhenfu's envoy, he went to practice with Li Zongqi." Jingshi is under martial law at the nine gates, and I hope that Cui Shence will pay attention to whether the dog returns to the house or not. ”

Cui Yuan nodded: "Lu Tongzhi rest assured, I will send someone to your mansion to ask when I leave the palace." If you haven't returned yet, I'll tell Commander Luo. ”

"Thank you!"

Lu Song looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and his face became serious.

After looking back at the direction of Kunning Palace, he led the team to leave the Heart Cultivation Palace, leaving only two people on duty at the door.

I don't know what kind of changes will happen tonight, and the gates of the Forbidden City also need to be guarded with a twelve-point spirit.

Zhang Wei dared to resist the decree, I don't know what kind of secret is behind it!

The outside is loose and the inside is tight, but the inner palace is completely tense.

From the early afternoon to the present, after the queen began to launch, she was born very slowly.

It's been more than four hours now!

The emperor has been in Kunning Palace. When a woman gives birth, a man is not allowed to enter the delivery room according to the rules, let alone the emperor?

Zhu Houxi also knew that this was just a custom at this time, the so-called disaster of filth and blood......

But he is the emperor, and if he really goes in, the busy people inside will be extremely nervous.

He could have cared about it himself, but everyone else had that idea.

The queen gives birth, the emperor is on the side, and the pressure on the stable woman and the palace maid who serves is so great that it is possible to tremble.

Sun Ming was born so slowly, Wen Po and the Imperial Doctor have already said it. One is because of the first child, and the queen is not very old. Second, because of Sun Ming's physique, he didn't gain much weight, and the child absorbed nutrients and was a little big.

Fortunately, there are no cases of abnormal fetal position that will directly lead to dystocia.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers have been pulsed by Niangniang before, Niangniang's body and bones are very good, and now it just takes more time and energy......"

The imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital comforted him with some trepidation, and Zhu Houxi only waved his hand.

Then Empress Dowager Jiang also waved her hand: "What have you been waiting here for?" The queen mother is here to watch! Huang Jin is running back and forth with here in the Heart Cultivation Palace, you are busy with the affairs of the previous dynasty! ”

Zhu Houxi shook his head: "The previous dynasty was not a big deal. The queen knew that I was here, and she always had a lot of strength in her heart. Didn't the son let Qiao Mei settle her heart? I did what my son told me before, and now I just hold on, work harder, and my son accompanies her. ”

Feeling the difficulties of Sun Ming's childbirth, Zhu Houxi was a little glad that he had still adhered to the strategy of trying to avoid conception with other concubines for more than a year.

Otherwise, I am afraid that I will face the risk of having a difficult birth for the prince in the next year.

The treatment and nutrition in the palace are still too good, and although she said a lot to Sun Ming, her inherent concept is still very strong, and she is afraid that if she walks around more, she will have a fetus.

Since the Spring Festival this year, the belly has been getting bigger and bigger, and the weather has not warmed up. Except for walking around with her a few times, she hasn't insisted on walking around in the past few months.

Now, this is a matter of life and death for Sun Ming.

Her physical strength, the delivery and medical skills at this time, could be a problem at every moment in the future.

The voices in the delivery room kept coming out, and the palace maid with hot water walked in and out, and Zhu Houxi had been waiting here.

After about three quarters of an hour, there was no good news, but Huang Jin came to the gate of Kunning Palace again.

Zhu Houxi walked over: "Say." ”

Huang Jin bowed his head and said: "One battalion of the five military camps mutinied, and Hou Shen of Xianning had already led the team to leave the camp at five o'clock. ”

Zhu Houxi nodded: "What about the city?" ”

"The nine gates have been closed, there is no movement in all the mansions, and the factory guards and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division are all inspecting."

Zhu Houxi closed his eyes.

Zhang Wei dared.

There are even more people in the five military camps he is in charge of.

A state prince, a commander and eunuch, three holy decrees, and a battalion of officers and soldiers mutinied.

When the day came, Wang Xian of the military department had to be offended: according to the new system of the Beijing camp's salary, the military department had to send someone to the camp to supervise the payment on the spot. Now that there is a battalion of officers and soldiers mutinied, the generals may have other interests tied to Zhang Wei and others, but what about ordinary soldiers?

Closely related to the ordinary soldiers of the Beijing camp is only the salary.

This is the reason why it is necessary to make a quick decision: even if the counselors can only implement the new law head-on, how many of the officials below who want to save trouble or even have other ideas? In the face of Zhang Wei's requests and bribes, how many people will really take the emperor's order and the official's order to heart?

This is still the Jingying under the emperor's nose!

And although the factory guard is powerful, he really can't stare at every corner of Daming for twelve hours.

Tonight, a soldier will die.

But for a loyal Beijing battalion that can fight, this is a baptism that must be experienced.

“…… Your Majesty, do you have a will for the slaves and maids to pass it on? ”

Huang Jin asked again, and Zhu Houxi was about to open his mouth to answer him, when a baby's cry faintly came from behind him.

Suddenly, Huang Jin's face was entangled all day and the heaviness that had been entangled all day loosened a lot, and he immediately knelt down and said loudly: "Slave and maid, congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

When Zhu Houxi turned around and walked into the palace, the eunuchs, palace maids and imperial doctors also knelt down to congratulate the emperor with relief.

"How's the Queen?" Zhu Houxi only shouted inside.

In the hurried footsteps, Zhang Qiaomei ran out and knelt down and said happily: "I was finally born, and my mother just lost my strength." Your Majesty, you are a prince, and your mother and son are safe! ”

When the emperor's sister-in-law was born, Empress Dowager Jiang was overjoyed and hurriedly went in to see it.

Around Zhu Houxi, there was naturally another round of congratulations.

The child had to be cleaned inside, and the corners of Zhu Houxi's mouth finally showed a smile, and his ears were mixed with the cry of a baby with congratulations.

"It's all hard work, Huang Jin, first receive the Heart Cultivation Palace, reward!"

Whether it is a daughter or a prince, Zhu Houxi heard that the imperial doctors can also judge one or two by diagnosing the pulse and some other experience.

But when it comes to the sensitive throne, who dares to judge the lie?

After tossing for most of the day, they left here with cold sweat all over their bodies and went to the Heart Cultivation Hall happily.

Although Zhu Houxi is not a tyrannical king who will anger them because of his temper, this is the queen's son, who dares to relax?

As they left, after a while, firecrackers began to sound in the Forbidden City, and the little eunuch who had been ordered by Huang Jin ran happily to preach.

The voice faintly spread to the vicinity of the Xuanwu Gate, and Lu Song, who was patrolling here, looked at the south and knew that the queen had given birth to a child, which should be good news, but he didn't know if it was a man or a woman.

He relaxed a little, as long as it was good news.

Now, he still couldn't let his guard down, but continued to strictly order that there should be no slackness everywhere, and then looked to the north.

The northern suburbs, that is where the Shenji Camp is located.
