The Ming Dynasty guarded the Beijing Division mainly with three battalions, the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion.

The five military battalions were divided into two armies, each composed of the central army, the left and right guards, and the left and right sentinels, and had 10 guards and 50 battalions under its jurisdiction, totaling more than 27,000 people.

The 3,000 battalion was composed of elite selections in the border army, and after meritorious service, they were transferred back to Beijing to defend the emperor of the Gongwei, and they had five divisions under their jurisdiction, totaling more than 10,000 people.

The Shenji Battalion mainly uses long-range blades such as heavy crossbows, heavy artillery, magic arrows, and throwing guns, with five battalions and more than 2,700 people.

These totaled more than 40,000 people, who were the defense soldiers of the Beijing Division.

In the hundred years before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was the most glorious time for the three major battalions, when the total number of troops reached more than 180,000 at its peak. But then the Daomen and the imperial court found that such a huge force, placed in the capital is just empty food and salary, not only can not play a role, the sergeants are stationed in the prosperous place south of the Yangtze River all the year round, but the morale is depressed, especially the 3,000 battalions, after the dare to fight is selected, it will take less than two years to grind out no morale.

Based on this, they gradually began to reduce the number of the three major battalions, replenish the battalion heads to the border areas, and at the same time set up the governor's mansion of the five armies, turning it into a place where military lords were rewarded, forming a situation of external reality and internal emptiness. Anyway, there is a Dao Gate, I don't believe that where can the sky be turned up, if it really comes to the point where the enemy hits the capital, it is useless how many troops there are.

These Beijing garrisons are nominally under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, but in fact the Ministry of War cannot be mobilized, and without the will of the Son of Heaven and the countersignature of the Cabinet, it is useless for the Ministry of War to have empty military orders and arrows. What the Ministry of War can really control them is the heavy arsenal of military armor, and if Zhu Xianjian wants to master the Ministry of War, the most important thing is also to have a heavy arsenal of military armor.

Under Zhang Cong's issuance, the two Lang Zhong were forced to complete the formalities diligently, and soon, the military armor warehouse located in the small teaching field in the northwest of the imperial city was opened.

Zhu Xianjian gathered all the storage magic weapons in the hands of the monks of the upper three palaces, and threw military armor into the camps he mastered around the capital.

The three battalions were stationed by the city wall, and after these battalion leaders got the rune heavy armor and mana blades, they immediately followed Zhu Xianjian's instructions to climb the city wall of the Beijing Division, closed the gates one by one, and laid out deer barricades, hook locks, horse rejections, iron spurs, and other offensive and defensive equipment, and the entire capital suddenly changed.

During the war or the time of concentrated military exercises, the imperial court sent ministers or noble commanders, and in peacetime, they were led by the commanders of each guard. At this moment, the commanders of the guards were completely confused, and the generals of these armies suddenly found that the battalion leaders under their command had inexplicably opened the barracks, and immediately ordered them to stop them, and the battalion commanders took out the military talisman seal letter issued by the military department, so the commanders of the guard could only be stunned.

At dusk, the thirteen gates of the Jingshi were all closed, and the city heads everywhere were murderous and heavily guarded. At the same time, all the Jinyi guards were dispatched to complete the blockade and curfew of the main streets.

This change immediately caused chaos in the city, and the common people immediately hid in their homes, the hawkers cleaned up their stalls, the shops closed their doors, the green buildings blew out the lights, and the restaurants drove people out.

Wang Zongyi, the prefect of Yingtian, just came out of the Xuantan Palace, returned to the palace in a sedan chair, and when he passed through Gongyuan Street, he stopped in front of him, and the sedan chair man replied: "Master, the Jinyi Wei is closed and will not let pass." ”

Wang Zongyi travels too often to the government and the Xuantan Palace, so he often does not arrange the honor guard, and it is inevitable to encounter this kind of thing, because he said: "Didn't you sign up? Take the film to show them." ”

The sedan chair man said: "I have reported it, the general flag said that I want to see people with my own eyes, and I want to see the sedan chair." ”

Wang Zongyi was furious: "Bastard, a small Jinyi Wei general banner, dare to check my third-grade master?"

But it was useless for him to get angry, Jinyi Wei was on an errand, how could he have the concept of upper and lower grades, dignity and humility? In desperation, he had to open the curtain and get off the sedan chair, and said angrily: "This official Wang Zongyi, whose subordinates are you?"

The general flag came up and hugged his fists and said: "I have seen Wang Fuzun, there is an order from the peak, I have to investigate more strictly, and I ask Lord Fuzun to forgive me." He looked in through the curtain.

Wang Zongyi was furious: "The officials have all fallen into the sedan chair, and you still don't let it go?"

The general flag hugged his fists and said: "Forgive the sin, you can ask Wang Fuzun to get up the sedan chair, and I will say a few more words by the way, and I also ask Lord Fuzun not to go out as much as possible in the past two days." ”

Wang Zongyi angrily got into the sedan chair, passed the checkpoint of the search, and suddenly saw a Taoist priest standing behind this group of brocade guards, identifying the logo at the corner of the Taoist robe, but it was a monk of the Manifestation Palace.

How did the monk of the Manifestation Palace get together with the Jinyi Guard? Puzzled, he asked the general banner, "Who are you guys looking for?"

But the general banner did not answer: "Please also ask the Fuzun to pass quickly, so as not to block the road." ”

As soon as Wang Zongyi returned to the mansion, the master and the experience of each room surrounded him, and Wang Zongyi immediately learned a very shocking news that the capital was blocked by the three major battalions.

"What is this for?"

"Someone is going to rebel?"

"Among them, there are also monks from the upper three palaces, who is it? Could it be the King of Qi?"

Between his mouths, Wang Zongyi hurriedly said: "Quick, prepare a sedan chair, this official is going to Xuantan Palace!"

"Didn't Fuzun say that Abbot Zhao is not in Xuantan Palace?"

"The official is waiting for him to come back in the Xuantan Palace!"

When he was about to go out, a secretary office stationed in the Xuantan Palace rushed back, with a crying face: "The Xuantan Palace is surrounded by brocade guards!"

"What?" Wang Fuyin was stunned for a moment.

At this moment, the Xuantan Palace was already in chaos, and a team of brocade-clothed guards and school captains dressed in flying fish suits and carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists poured into the Xuantan Palace, sealing the palace buildings and driving the Taoist priests and fire dwellings in the Taoist Palace to the main hall.

The Fang Tang Fang Master took a cadre of Fang Tang to inspect the Fang Tang and fought back, desperately guarding in front of the Jing Hall, and knocked down six or seven Jinyi guards who came to seize it on the spot. More brocade guards rushed up and surrounded them, and the lord of the party was undaunted, leading the inspectors to confront the brocade guards.

They all often deal with each other in Beijing, and the leading Jinyi Weinan Town Fu Si Qianhu said coldly to the master of the Fang Hall: "Zheng Zhinan, the one who knows the times is Junjie, I advise you to put down your blades and tie your hands, so that there is still a way to live." ”

Zheng Zhinan laughed: "I'm afraid it's you Zhuo Qianhu who doesn't know whether you are alive or dead, right? Zhuo Yi, I will give you a word of advice when you and I know each other, and immediately withdraw your people, otherwise you will regret it!"

Zhuo Yi felt very tricky, this person in front of him was the master of the Xuantan Palace, the eight deacons of the Dao Palace, such a high position, but he resisted with weapons, and the Xuantan Palace inspectors gathered around him were all good hands, which was really difficult. To kill or not to kill?

As a last resort, Zhuo Yi had to surround them first, and then ordered someone to fly to report to Chen Yin, who was in the front hall, Chen Yin replied to Zhuo Yi, regardless of the rank and size of the position, but if there is resistance, it will not matter if he is killed.
