By noon the next day, sure enough. The commander of Tianjin Sanwei magically appeared in front of Xu Song.

Xu Song looked at the three of them coldly, and didn't mention that they were not in the city yesterday, or lingering on the sickbed.

Instead, he directly asked how many soldiers they had assembled.

Ma Ying, the commander of the Tianjin Guard, looked up at Xu Song with a nervous face and replied: "The lower officials are in Hejian Mansion, and these days they have heard about the Tatar invasion, and they have gathered their troops in the starry night, but they are too hurried, only more than two thousand people!" ”

Qian Qi, the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, looked like he was about to die yesterday, but he was able to get out of bed today, but he still needed someone to "help" him when he walked, and after a burst of embarrassing cough, he said "weakly": "Our Left Guard, cough cough, is also two thousand people!" The Tatars came suddenly, and the lower officials were sinking into their bodies, and they could only cough cough ...... cough cough."

It is estimated that he felt that the first two acted too embarrassingly, Fang Xi blushed and said: "Xiaguan, Xiaguan only summoned more than 2,000 people!" ”

Xu Song was furious in his heart, but he had to pay attention to the priority of everything, and he said in a deep voice: "You are quite capable, two thousand!" ”

Some of the three were ashamed, some pretended to laugh, and some simply coughed to cover up.

"Beijing is surrounded by the Tatars, and the monarch's father is still in the city, and the old man orders you to bring your troops to Beijing to drive the Tatars out of the pass!"

"The remaining ministries will leave an official above the level of servant to continue to convene the subordinates to rush to Beijing, with a deadline of three days, and those who do not arrive within three days will be commanded by the envoys, fellow intellectuals, and managers - beheaded!"

"On the way out, if there is a escape, behead"

"After receiving the enemy, fear the enemy and not the former - slash!"

"On the way, I can't get involved for various reasons - chop!"

"Whoever robs the people—behead!"

Five consecutive "chop" words exited, like a sledgehammer pounding on the chests of three people.

The three of them looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you.

Among them, the commander of the left guard made Qian Qi hurriedly said: "Pavilion Elder, the subordinate is unwell, and he still needs help when he walks, you, you are embarrassing me!" ”

Xu Song immediately said: "Get rid of Qian Qi as the commander of the Tianjin Left Guard, and the commander will take over!" ”

Qian Qi was shocked when he heard this, he struggled his neck and glared at him: "Elder Xu Ge, I am the commander appointed by the imperial court, but it was not appointed by you Elder Xu Ge, what you said is useless!" ”

Xu Song sneered: "Your official's illness has improved a lot, and he is full of energy!" ”

Qian Qi was also a bachelor when he heard this, so he directly pushed away the person who was supporting him and stood up straight and said: "Elder Xu Ge, let me tell you the truth, we have heard a long time ago, the guards near Beijing City are all shrinking and refusing to accept the enemy, why should we let Tianjin Sanwei take the lead?" ”

"Also, what's going on in Your Majesty's edict? Why is there not only the seal of the emperor, but also the seal of the prison country! ”

"Who is the prison state? Why haven't we heard of His Majesty's edict to abolish the crown prince and supervise the country? ”

"Since the crown prince has been deposed, it should naturally be the king of Qi!"

"We have discussed it three years ago, and there must be traitors in the court who deceive the saints!"

"Unless we see the emperor personally decree, this prison country - we don't recognize it!"

"That's right, the crown prince was deposed, how can he be a prisoner! The court should give us an explanation! ”

……

Seeing the three of them arguing, Xu Song suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Tianjin Sanwei had been boldly resisting and disobeying.

Although there are constant internal and external troubles in the imperial court, in the end, where is the prestige, how can officials casually resist the decree.

Especially if he, the cabinet minister, personally announced the decree?

It turns out that these people have a backstage!

But this kind of words, Xu Song definitely can't say it, so he said coldly: "Your Majesty can't take care of things when he is sick, and he is responsible for supervising the country, which is the result of the discussion between the queen Yizhi and the ministers." Do you want to resist the decree? ”

Seeing Xu Song's fierce face, Commander Tianjin Wei made Ma Ying's eyes roll, and immediately appeased Qian Qi a few words, and then said to Xu Song in a peacemaker tone: "Pavilion Lao, Lord Qian is a martial artist, he has a bad temper, and he is sick, it is wrong for him to collide with you, Qian Qi——"

Speaking of this, he said in a big brother tone: "Don't hurry up and apologize to the elder pavilion!" ”

When Qian Qi over there heard this, he reluctantly knelt down and clenched his fists, and said with his neck twisted: "Don't blame the collision!" ”

After speaking, he got up directly, obviously not taking Xu Song, the old man of the Bicycle Pavilion, in his eyes.

Xu Song watched coldly, but wanted to see what tricks these people could play.

But then, Ma Ying's words made him, a minister, feel difficult.

"Elder Ge, for the sake of the war in Huguang, the imperial court has stopped paying us half a year's salary."

"You are always born in a big family, and you don't have a few months of silver, so you naturally don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but now Sanwei's brothers haven't had rice for half a year, and the court is not short of hungry soldiers, so you have to give some silver, so let's appease the soldiers before we can send troops, right?"

When Yao Chunchen heard this, he said: "Commander Ma, after the silver money war, the imperial court will naturally send it together with the reward, and now that Beijing is in crisis, you ask for money at this time, even if the elder of the pavilion asks for it from the household department, then you can't get out of the city!" ”

As soon as he heard that there was no money, Ma Ying immediately smiled: "This adult, it's still the same sentence, our brothers are going up to work hard, there is no silver, what do you ask them to fight?" ”

"Either give the silver now, or wait a few days, and a few of us will first scrape together some silver from our own pockets to buy some dry food for the army, how about it?"

"Yes, we paid out of our own pockets, and we have done our best to the court!"

"What else do you want us to do? If the court doesn't give money, you can't let your brothers go to war hungry, right? ”

"Shut up!" Xu Song shouted, and looked at the three of them coldly: "Since the official entered the Acropolis, you have used all kinds of excuses to shirk the blame, is it true that the official has not led soldiers?" ”

After speaking, he drew the sword from his waist, put it on the ground and said: "I tell you, the court does not treat you poorly on weekdays, if you have different ambitions at the moment, then after the Tatars leave, have you ever thought about what will happen to you?" ”

Xu Song's actions made the three of them tighten.

But Ma Ying was sleek on the surface, but he was very stubborn: "My lord, before the imperial court punishes us, the three of us also want to see what happens to the Dingbian guard, Shenwu Zhongwei, and Yingzhou Right Tun Guard!" ”

After speaking, he beckoned, and the three of them left directly.

The three guards mentioned by Ma Ying just now are all guards near Beijing and Tongzhou, it stands to reason that they should be the first line of resistance to the Tatars, but they are still standing still, Ma Ying means that you Xu Song don't go to find trouble with the three guards, but you are embarrassed by us, isn't this too much deception?

Sometimes, human logic is like that.

Many people will say that the situation in the dynasties in history is obviously not exhausted, so why can't they unite as one and tide over the difficulties together?

In fact, the reason is that everyone is rotten, and people's hearts are scattered.

When people are scattered, although justice is still there, then everyone will not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, one by one.

If you want to blame it, blame the first person who is rotten, don't suffer Lao Tzu!

What Xu Song didn't expect was that after these people went back, they didn't show up again, and finally sent hundreds of soldiers and ruffians to surround the post house, shouting for the court to pay them!

Xu Song knew that Tianjin Sanwei couldn't be counted on, these guards were not only rotten, but also had a backstage, and there was nothing to fear.

His own strength is weak, and he has no way to deal with these military leaders.
