Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Liu Qiyuan nodded, then asked.

"Reporting to my lord, Duke Jing has already arrived in Beijing in secret according to His Majesty's order!"

The general asked neither humble nor overbearing.

Liu Qiyuan asked again: "Which department is the Zhongwuying, why haven't I heard of it?"

"Returning to my lord, the Zhongwu Camp was temporarily established by the students of the Martial Academy according to His Majesty's order when Monan Mongolia knocked on the border last year. Later, His Majesty made a special decree to retain the organizational system and stationed in the Martial Academy. Now, by His Majesty's order, a special decree came to Beijing. Accept Duke Jing’s rule and be ordered to put down the rebellion!”

"No wonder..."

Liu Qiyuan nodded. Back then, Monan Mongolia was on the border, and the frontier troops were empty. He was naturally aware of the temporary formation of a few battalions of soldiers and horses by all the students from the martial arts academy.

According to the usual practice, the students should be dismissed and return to the martial arts academy to study, but he heard that these students were all sent to Ji Town by Duke Jing, and caused a lot of trouble in the army. It was secretly reorganized into the Zhongwu Battalion, and became such a strange soldier.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiyuan didn't ask any more questions, and bowed his hands to the hundred households: "Then I will trouble the general."

"The duty of the last general is incumbent!"

Chen Hong responded solemnly, sonorously and forcefully.

The Hubu Shangshu Mansion has returned to tranquility, but the chaos in the capital is still spreading further.

In the beginning, the rebels consisted of tenant households temporarily armed by various wealthy families, soldiers and horses of the five cities, and artisans stationed in Beijing by the Ministry of Industry. One after another took advantage of the chaos and entered Beijing.

This is undoubtedly adding fuel to the already hot situation in the capital, making it even more boiling.

But compared to the chaos of the situation, the progress in countering the rebellion is getting worse.

The well-trained soldiers of the Zhongwu Battalion, with the Meridian Gate of the Imperial Palace as the center, swept away in all directions of the capital with a thunderous force.

Although the rebels are numerous and powerful, they are still just a mob. Even if there are some elites, they are hard to resist in front of the elites of the commander-in-chief of a hundred battles, and they are defeated all the way!

"Where did thief Li come from? How could he react so quickly!"

In Shouwang's mansion, there was already a turmoil and chaos at this moment. The sudden arrival of a force was undoubtedly like a blow to the head, and most of the courtiers were a little out of breath.

According to their expectation, Thief Li's counterattack would not happen until at least a few days later, after mobilizing the troops of various guards near the capital.

By that time, the capital will be under their control, and using the mighty capital of the capital to command the world is enough to change the situation.

But this sudden strong army undoubtedly completely disrupted their layout.

There was no such thing as the expected good news, but the bad news came one after another!

"Thief Li is prepared, and I will definitely not be an opponent. Give up the capital immediately!"

Wang Wenyan, the servant of the household department, had a gloomy face. If he didn't want to, he could only spit out this sentence.

"Li Thief's army is brave. Our army is in a hurry, and our armaments are not complete. It is really difficult to resist. I think that we should withdraw from the capital quickly and fight elsewhere."

The ministers spoke to each other, expressing their own opinions, the little emperor pretended to be calm, and after listening to the audience of the ministers, he said: "Then, where do you think you should turn to?"

With these words, the hall became even more noisy.

There are those who dominate Jiangnan and those who dominate Liaodong. The two parties can be said to be in endless disputes.

Those who master Liaodong naturally still think about the capital and the Central Plains!

After all, in the current situation, even though Li Thief is prepared, the situation in the north is still extremely beneficial to Daming. Li Thief is still too busy to take care of himself and is in danger. In this way, the emperor is in danger, but he is still setting an example for the world, which is the best policy.

And the master retreating to the south of the Yangtze River is naturally justified, as the emperor is in danger, as the king of the south of the Yangtze River is looking forward to it, Li Thief is already prepared, and nothing can be done...

The public said that the public was right and the woman said that the old woman was reasonable. For a while, there were endless arguments.

As for the little emperor, although he is uneasy, he can only pretend to be calm and maintain the majesty of the emperor. This is the only thing he has under the current situation. As for...the right to speak...it is equivalent to nothing!

……

Chapter 4

The capital city was chaotic, and the Shouwang Mansion was noisy, but at the Xidafang of the capital city, Su Yi Bo Fu, who was supposed to be ignored by no one, now welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"My lord, the master is unwell, and it is inconvenient to see guests. My lord, please come back another day."

The steward looked at the generals standing in the courtyard tremblingly, then saluted Shi Bangyao respectfully, and spoke slowly.

"Not feeling well?"

Shi Bangyao frowned, and looked at the closed door: "If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and don't want to repay the emperor's favor, you can just speak up, why would Jiandou use such an excuse!"

After the voice fell, the door was still closed tightly, and there was no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Shi Bangyao frowned, and said again: "The emperor is in danger, and the Great Ming Dynasty is about to repeat itself. Should Jiandou just sit on the sidelines?"

The door was still closed, and there was no movement.

Seeing this, Shi Bangyao was silent for a moment, and then he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him moved accordingly.

Seeing that the soldier was about to push open the door forcefully, the tightly closed door finally opened slowly.

"Why are you doing it!"

Lu Xiangsheng's face was filled with darkness. His body, which was once as strong as a bull, was now skinny and skinny in just a few months, and there was no trace of blood on his pale face.

With such a figure and demeanor, Shi Bangyao couldn't restrain his heart from trembling, but soon, this touch was forcibly suppressed by him.

In the current situation, although the world seems to be full of masters, there are definitely a majority of people with ulterior motives.

The emperor is young, even if he succeeds this time, under the protection of no strong soldiers, if he is a little careless, the emperor will be manipulated by those with ulterior motives, and another tragedy will happen!

What's more, Thief Li is obviously aware of this plot, and it is inevitable to withdraw from the capital.

No matter if you go to Liaodong or Jiangnan, the army leaders are standing horizontally. Although the current imperial court has recruited a lot of troops, it is easy to get thousands of troops, but it is hard to find a general!Without a good general to command a strong army and protect the center, how can the heroes obey orders!

Although Mao Wenlong is available, his mind is obviously impure. The imperial court must have a loyal and reliable general who can recruit and fight well, command and train a strong imperial army, and restrain the local heroes. Only in this way can the emperor and the authority of the imperial court be guaranteed!

And Lu Xiangsheng,

Being able to turn his back on the Duke of Qin, who had been so kind to him, and serve the court, is enough to show his loyalty to Ming Dynasty.

Among the civil officials, there is no foundation enough to guarantee their loyalty.

He fought south and north, and his military exploits were illustrious. He was a top-notch general even in the Li Thief Group, which had a lot of generals.

In this way, Lu Xiangsheng is obviously the best candidate for the current situation!

"At this time of crisis, it is the time for me to step forward, there is no need for nothing!"

"Jiandou, the Son of Heaven is young, and there are many people with ulterior motives in the world. They need our support, and you also need to protect the Son of Heaven and Daming!"

"I, Lu Xiangsheng, have so much virtue and so much power!"

Lu Xiangsheng looked up to the sky and sighed, then shook his head: "Lu is already a sinner, His Majesty is tolerant, leaving Lu with a broken body, Lu has already betrayed His Majesty once, there can be no second time!"

"Let's assume that Lu has a responsibility, and if he wants to be killed or cut, it's up to the adults to decide!"

"you……"

Shi Bangyao was extremely angry: "You rotten wood cannot wither!"

Lu Xiangsheng's expression didn't fluctuate at all, he just stood silently in the courtyard, fearless and extremely calm.

"Take him away!"

In the end, Shi Bangyao held back his anger and gave an order, and several soldiers rushed forward. Lu Xiangsheng did not resist, and let the soldiers be tied up like wooden men...

……

When the night dissipated and the dawn broke, the first ray of light from the rising sun fell on the earth, but the blood in the capital was still lingering and lingering for a long time.

Gunpowder smoke, flames, and fighting are still everywhere in the capital.

The rebel army has already retreated, but the defeated soldiers who are out of control are obviously the most terrifying. The Jinyiwei, the Beijing Army and the Imperial Army, as well as the Zhongwu Battalion, most of the soldiers, formed a small team and wiped out the remnants of the retreat in various parts of the capital. rebels.

But at this moment, in a little-known village about tens of miles away from the capital, a tragic fight has already begun!

The Duke of Jing, Xu Feng, personally led the elite to pursue the rebels who escorted King Shou and his ministers to escape. They chased and fled for dozens of miles, and finally intercepted them in this little-known village. The one-sided fight has already begun!

In less than a quarter of an hour, the fight was coming to an end. However, a report from the soldiers in front of them changed the expressions of Xu Feng and the generals who were chasing him!

"My lord, I haven't found King Shou!"

"The officials didn't even see it, only a servant from the Ministry of War!"

The smile at the corner of Xu Feng's mouth froze suddenly, he yanked his horsewhip and stepped into the blood, but the result was exactly the same as what the soldier reported.

Obviously, this was a bait, and he... fell for it!

"Hahahaha, don't be wishful thinking, Your Majesty and the ministers have already left!"

"The mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty will be repeated in the end, and the rebellious officials and thieves will surely be stigmatized forever!"

"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha..."

Wang Wenyan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, knelt down on the ground covered in blood, laughed heartily, and looked at Xu Feng with disdain and sarcasm!

"Humph!"

"A fool's dream!"

"Do you think you can escape?"

"The whole of Beizhili has been heavily blocked, you are the turtles in the urn!"

"I want to see if your bones are as hard as your mouth!"

"Where is Jinyiwei!"

"Subordinates are here!"

Immediately, several accompanying Jin Yiwei stood up.

"Trial!"

As soon as Xu Feng waved his hand, several Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward.

In this bloody place, all kinds of tortures are carried out accordingly!

"Dog thief, you should die!"

"I, Wang Wenyan, was born as a minister of the Ming Dynasty and died as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty. If you want me to speak, you are wishful thinking!"

Enduring all kinds of torture, Wang Wenyan yelled tremblingly, and stared at Xu Feng with unyielding eyes, as if staring at some heinous thief.

"Don't worry, you are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, and you will all be ghosts of the Ming Dynasty!"

"The governor will send you to hell!"

Xu Feng's face was frosty, he snorted coldly, and then beckoned, several generals approached, Xu Feng ordered a few words, and several generals also galloped away on horseback.

At this time, on the Wenyu River in the north of the capital, King Shou and his officials, disguised as a caravan, have already set foot on the merchant ship from the capital to Tongzhou!

But obviously, neither the officials nor the King of Shou could relax.

Although the distance from Beijing to Tongzhou is not far, the inspection is extremely cumbersome and strict even in normal times, and it will take at least several days. From Tongzhou to Tianjin, hundreds of miles away, even if it is by water, there will be several inspections along the way. Seven or eight days.

This is still a normal situation. Now, the waterway will definitely be under martial law. Even if they open up all the joints, the time will only be longer!

It will take at least half a month, but this half month is enough for Li thief to search the whole of Beizhili. If the land route is discovered, there is still a chance to escape. Once the water route is blocked, he can only wait for death up!

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. In order to prevent accidents, I have ordered the Fujian Navy to send elites to secretly rush to the Tianjin Wei sea area. As long as they arrive at Tianjin Wei, everything will be fine..."

"Furthermore, according to the plan, in the next few days, the former Ministry of Governor Mao will cooperate with Houjin Liyingwai to break through the Shanhaiguan Pass. At that time, no matter how well-organized the Li thief is, it is impossible for him to have the energy to pursue us..."

In the warehouse on the bottom floor of the merchant ship, some officials comforted the little emperor who was clearly in shock, and all the officials echoed him.

In this way, the expression of the little emperor finally eased a lot, and in the blink of an eye, he always inadvertently looked at Lu Xiangsheng who was sitting alone in the corner of the warehouse.

He is young, has no achievements, no prestige, and no strong soldiers and horses...

He not only needs the support of these civil servants, but also needs to be able to recruit good fighters as the foundation.

A strong soldier and a strong horse are the Son of Heaven!

He also firmly remembered the words that Uncle Li once warned him.

Lu Xiangsheng should be the best choice...

……

Chapter 4 Anyone who is unavailable can be killed!

"Land, water, all roads leading to the north of Zhili, all are under martial law, no entry and no exit!"

"Jin Yiwei goes to monitor, we must not let Shou Wang escape!"

Order after order was issued, and immediately, Xu Feng seemed to think of something, and asked again: "Did Wang Wenyan recruit?"
