Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

Half a year has passed since the last apocalypse review.

With the results of that review, the Yongwei Battalion has naturally become a favorite, whether it is money, salary, or armor and weapons, they all enjoy the best.

However, glory is also a bondage, especially the particularity that the Yongweiying is directly under the emperor, and it is also destined to be resisted by the civil servants.

Therefore, after half a year, although Emperor Tianqi intends to send the Yongwei Battalion to go out to experience and make meritorious service, it will also add some military prestige to her, the emperor.

The emperor's plan was very good, but how could the civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty make the emperor happy.

Every time there is a movement of war in a place, or a slight change in Emperor Tianqi, a large-scale impeachment will be ushered in, and even if the eunuchs block the sky with one hand, there is nothing they can do.

Under such circumstances, the entire Yongwei Battalion can only be shrunken in front of a tortoise, curling up in the Jintaifang camp every day...

Even so, how could such a person as Wei Zhongxian be completely suppressed, directly ordering Jinyiwei and Dongchang to go to war directly on the grounds that the remnants of the White Lotus Sect in Northern Zhili still existed and colluded with bandits to cause chaos.

Meanwhile, the Yongwei Battalion was also sent out of the capital during this great battle. It was called a practical operation, but in fact, it was used as the main force to suppress the rebels fleeing from Shandong and Shaanxi.

To promote training through battle, for several months, the ten battalions of brave guards were dispatched in turn. In front of this rare opportunity to fight, no one would neglect the slightest.

Coupled with the assistance of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, not only the rogues fleeing from Shandong and Shaanxi, but even the mountain bandits near the capital suffered disaster.

Taking Li Xiu as an example, he has led his troops out of Beijing for more than two months, and most of the time, he was doing bandit suppression.

After all, although there were rogues, there were only a few who really broke through the court's encirclement and chased them as far as Beizhili, and most of them were remnants and defeated generals, so they were not worth mentioning.

Naturally, Li Xiu would not waste this rare opportunity to go out of Beijing, so the butcher's knife of the Yongwei Camp was aimed at these bandits who looted houses or occupied the mountains as kings.

Several months of conquest, although in Li Xiu's view, it was just a small fight, but no matter what, it can be regarded as having experienced fighting on the battlefield. This thousand-man battalion already has a bit of a real elite momentum.

"Xiu...Qianhu, are we going to rush back to the capital today?"

"Correct."

Li Xiu put away the map in his hand, looked around at the marching soldiers, and nodded: "In a few days, it will be the day when King Xin opens the mansion. Go back early, so you can make some preparations."

"Send the order, speed up the march, and rush back to the Jintaifang camp before sunset!"

"it is good!"

Erwazi nodded to accept the order, steered the horse and galloped, and the military order was passed down, and the marching speed, which was not slow at all, suddenly increased a lot.

As the sky darkened, the shadow of the majestic city slowly appeared in the sight of the soldiers in the army.

On the official road, there are also more and more business travelers walking, but seeing the army marching, full of murderous aura, each of them is avoiding again and again, for fear of offending.

The capital is already close at hand, but the speed of the army has not decreased but increased. After all, the capital is the capital, and they are extremely cautious about fighting. If it weren't for the special nature of the brave guard battalion, they might not even be able to get close to the capital.

Even so, if they missed the time to enter the city, it would be necessary to experience a night of wind and cold outside the city. The soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion were obviously very clear about this.

Fortunately, the marching speed is not slow. Even under Li Xiu's strict order, the marching speed far exceeds the normal marching speed. There is more than half an hour before the city gate is closed, and Li Xiu leads his troops The soldiers arrived at the city gate.

Although the Yongwei Battalion is affiliated to the Imperial Horse Supervisor and is the emperor's pro-army, it is not a trivial matter to enter the capital, and the procedures for entering the city are extremely cumbersome. All aspects need to be coordinated and reported, and it takes a long time to complete the procedure. .

"Send the order and prepare to enter the city!"

Riding the horse and raising his whip under the city gate, Li Xiu looked up at the majestic gate of the capital, and gave orders to the soldiers beside him.

"Get ready to enter the city!"

The messenger immediately conveyed the order, and the thousands of soldiers who were stagnant outside the city gate also gathered together following Li Xiu's order, and slowly walked towards the city gate.

"boom!"

But at this moment, a mutation occurred!

All I heard was an earth-shattering roar, and as far as the naked eye could see, a cloud of mushrooms covering the sky soared into the sky.

In an instant, the flames shot up into the sky, the smoke and dust billowed, and most of the capital city was instantly swept away by gunpowder smoke, dust and dust. The turbulent air wave carried earth, stone, bricks and tiles, roaring in all directions like a giant dragon that destroyed the world.

Under such a terrifying upheaval, the world is also silent about it.

After a moment of silence, the entire city gate, as far as the eye can see, instantly became a mess!

Those who ran wildly, those who knelt down and prayed, those who trembled on the ground and were at a loss, everything happened in an instant!

In the face of this great terror, not to mention ordinary people, even the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who had just been assembled by Li Xiu's order became a mess in an instant, as if they were showing signs of collapse...

Chapter 83 History Forks

The sudden explosion and roar made Li Xiu's head a little dazed, but at this moment, the chief general of the first army couldn't panic at all.

"Yongwei Battalion, listen to the order! Gather to me!"

He snatched the banner, shouted loudly, and the blade with the scabbard slammed onto the drum, and a deafening drum sound suddenly sounded at the city gate, instantly awakening the panic-stricken brave guards The battalion soldiers belong to the nerve string of discipline.

stomping on...

Subconsciously, the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion who were at a loss almost instinctively gathered in Li Xiu's direction.

The fire was raging, the dust was still raging, and the thick smell of gunpowder smoke filled his nostrils. Li Xiu looked at the source of the explosion, but there was a cloud of dust in his eyes, making it difficult to see anything clearly.

"Wang Gong factory exploded!"

In an instant, these words suddenly flooded into my mind.

After several months of turmoil and endless conquests, the strange big explosion in history has never been seen. Li Xiuben thought that because of his appearance, some kind of butterfly effect occurred, and the cause of the big explosion was eliminated.

Unexpectedly, this big explosion came so suddenly!

What's more, in this era, this explosion is so terrifying!

At this moment, Li Xiu didn't have time to think too much. What he had to do now was to gather the generals, leave the capital immediately, and wait for orders.

Otherwise, such a big change will be settled afterwards, and if one is not careful, he will be charged with ulterior motives.

The generals in charge of guarding the city gate were not slow at all. After Li Xiu gathered his troops and retreated outside the capital, the capital city gate that was originally opened was immediately closed.

The flags were unfurled, and the fortified army was standing outside the city gate. Li Xiu rode his horse and looked out, and a look of worry could not help but appear between his brows.

Although this big bang has been recorded in history, but now that he experienced it personally, he always has a bad feeling.

After all, he has been deeply involved in this history. Whether this big bang will still be as recorded in history, no one knows...

If the rolling historical tide diverges...

As the sun set, billowing gunpowder smoke filled the entire capital, and the hustle and bustle disappeared in an instant. The entire capital, under this loud bang, seemed to be in a doomsday scene...

……

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

At this moment, the panic does not only exist in the explosion, but also in the imperial palace and the Taiye Pool, which used to be peaceful and peaceful, is also a scene of panic.

The emperor took a boat to swim in the Taiye Pool, and the sudden explosion, frightened, made the emperor, who was on the top of his excitement, fall into the lake!

There were not a few eunuchs and guards on board who were good at water. The moment the Son of Heaven fell into the water, the word "Salvation" resounded throughout Taiye Lake.

Although the emperor fell into the water for a very short time, he was rescued by the guards, but when the emperor fell into the water, his head accidentally hit the wooden beam of the pleasure boat. Pale, already in a coma.

This scene, to anyone present, is nothing more than a sky-shattering earth-shattering!

Chaos, almost in an instant, quickly spread from Taiye Lake to all directions.

It was so chaotic, even though Wei Zhongxian issued many orders at the first time to prevent the situation from spreading.

But with that shocking explosion that turmoiled the entire capital, even with Wei Zhongxian's [-]-year-old might, it might be difficult to completely suppress the spread and evolution of the situation.

The emperor was in a coma, and the explosion and turmoil in the capital continued. The inner palace and the outer court, the streets, and the entire capital were in turmoil.

The only fortunate thing is that these two news are still completely integrated, and there is still a huge room for buffering both inside and outside.

But everyone knows that once these two news are merged, the consequences will be disastrous!

One after another, the imperial doctors were urgently called to the imperial city. At this moment, the chaos in the outer dynasty and the capital had long been forgotten by Wei Zhongxian.

Of course, if the officials of the foreign court knew about the current situation of the emperor, the big explosion in the capital might not be their top priority.

After all, the safety of the emperor is above all else!

Li Xiu didn't know all this, but when the closed city gate opened again, and the transfer order from the Imperial Horse Supervisor arrived, Li Xiu's ominous premonition became more intense than ever.

In the inner palace, there are the internal drill army, the Jinyiwei, the Dongchang, and many other emperor's pro-armies...

It is said that the Yongwei Battalion has ten combat battalions, and the one he led was only one of them.

With the current situation in the capital, what any person in power must do is to maintain stability and eliminate any slightest instability.

Normally speaking, before the situation in the capital is completely stabilized, it is absolutely impossible for his army, which has never entered the city and returned from outside, to be rashly mobilized!

Not to mention that in this chaotic time, they were transferred from outside the capital to the capital, and the military order said they were still stationed in the palace!

This……

"Li Qianhu, the military order is urgent, please quickly lead the troops to the garrison area and take over the defense!"

Seeing Li Xiu lost his mind, the eunuch who sent the order immediately added another sentence.

"I will understand at the end!"

Li Xiu firmly grasped the command to deploy troops, clasped his fists in response, hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't ask anything.

"Brother Xiu, why don't I send someone to ask His Royal Highness Xin Wang about the situation?"

Erwazi whispered, at this moment, he obviously noticed something unusual.

"Need not."

Li Xiu shook his head, glanced at the direction of the palace, and said in a firm tone, "Don't worry about anything, just follow orders!"

"Pass down the order. After entering the city, no one is allowed to act without orders, and those who violate the law will be punished by military law!"

Tightening the handle of the knife, Li Xiu gave an order, and a battalion of soldiers who had gathered outside the city gate long ago also moved towards the center of the capital along the opened city gate.

In normal times, this city gate, whether it is for Li Xiu or all the soldiers under his command, is extremely ordinary.

But at this moment, the atmosphere was more dignified and oppressive than ever before.

The soldiers are cold and the army is lined up. On the streets of the capital, this brave guard battalion, which has been endowed with popularity since its establishment, is on the hinterland of its own home, but it is like entering a dangerous place. Step by step, it is extremely cautious. !

The streets were already in chaos. Although the shocking explosion did not completely affect this area, the dust, dust and gunpowder smoke that engulfed it had already covered the sky and the earth. Amongst the dust, these people who have lived here for generations have long been panicked. god.

But no matter how flustered they were, their fear of weapons still made them retreat to the side the moment they saw the soldiers of the Yongwei Battalion.

The war swept across, and everything was in chaos. The soldiers and horses of the five cities, Jinyiwei, Dongchang Fanzi, officials and servants, people from all walks of life rushed around. The prosperity and tranquility of the past, at this moment, is no longer visible.

The imperial city has obviously already been completely under martial law, the gates of the palace are closed, and the soldiers are cold, as if they are on guard to keep strangers away...

Chapter 84 Developments

The night sky is bright, and the third watch has passed.

On a normal day, the capital at this time would have been completely silent and completely plunged into darkness, but today, most of the capital is brightly lit.

A sudden middle of the night completely shook the capital up and down.

At the feet of the emperor, such a big thing happened, so it goes without saying how much it is taken seriously.

The treasury was opened, and many officials were busy all night for it.

The statistics of the casualties, the investigation of the cause of the explosion, the aftermath of the explosion...

Everything made the officials in the capital tense up, and they did not dare to neglect the slightest.

However, with the passage of time, especially for the top dignitaries in the capital, it seems that the explosion is not the most important thing.

Although the news of the great changes in the palace has not yet spread, but such a major event happened in the capital, the emperor never showed up at all, and the cabinet scholars and ministers of various ministries visited him, but they were also turned away from the palace.

This... is undoubtedly the biggest anomaly!

How much damage did the explosion cause?How many people were killed or injured?

These... seem to be important...

But... in front of the anomalies in the palace, they are nothing worth mentioning!

The sky is big and the earth is big, no bigger than a hair of the emperor!

The abnormality of the imperial palace has deeply attracted all the attention of the court chief!

Even the fiercely famous Nine Thousand Years Old, in the face of the real big right and wrong, can't do anything to the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty!

What's more, in the Ming Dynasty, there were not only scholar-bureaucrats, but the honorable group, which lived with the country, had been lonely for a long time, but it should not be underestimated in this three-acre land in the capital.

"The emperor has a problem!"

It has been several hours since Jin Yiwei was ordered to take over the defense of Chengtianmen, and Li Xiu could feel the faint undercurrent surging.

Whether it's the restlessness and panic in the palace, or the faint gathering of court officials outside the Chengtian Gate, it seems that a fact has been clearly explained.
