Royal Gold Medal County Magistrate

The capital garrison was stationed both inside and outside the city, with large and small camps, each with its own garrison troops.

However, considering the massive expansion during wartime, the main force was mostly stationed in camps outside the city.

Then, their respective functions were allocated.

The Fenwu Camp was the same, but with some differences. It was only responsible for training and killing enemies!

Among the various camps in the capital, it was the elite of the elite, having made countless contributions following Emperor Jing in his southern and northern campaigns!

At this moment, a strange figure appeared in the small camp inside the city.

The person who came was Lian Yong, the eunuch who always attended to Guo Tianyang.

Standing in front of Lian Yong was a man wearing armor, with a high nose and broad forehead, looking majestic and exuding an imposing presence.

At this moment, he was holding the imperial edict, looking like he was frowning with knitted brows.

After reading it repeatedly several times, he finally raised his head and asked: "The Fenwu Camp is sending three hundred men to raid the Jinyiwei centurion's office at night, is Eunuch sure there is no mistake?"

"Meng Weimin's place... This person's reputation is rising, but there is no need to make such a big deal out of it!"

Lian Yong said: "General Guo, how can there be any mistakes in His Majesty's edict? In addition to the Fenwu Camp, there are also one hundred secret agents from the East Depot to cooperate in the operation."

Besides saying to borrow three hundred elite soldiers, Godfather left the rest to him to handle.

Naturally, handling it meant ensuring it was done properly! Directly adding another hundred secret agents!

"Four hundred people attacking a newly established centurion's office, even if they are fully staffed, that's four times the force!" General Guo picked up the imperial edict again, scrutinizing it as if he had seen a ghost.

After confirming it again, General Guo said with a face full of confusion: "Why four hundred people? The Fenwu Camp only needs fifty people to rout them! His Majesty is a god in using troops, how could he issue such an absurd order?"

Lian Yong lowered his eyebrows and said obsequiously: "General, be careful with your words! You don't need to think too much about it, since the higher-ups have arranged it, then we'll just do as we're told. I wonder if the manpower in the city is ready now?"

General Guo sighed: "Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut! Since that's the case, then let's arrange it that way. However, there are not so many people in the city, I will immediately transfer troops from outside the city. When will the exercise begin?"

Just as Lian Yong was about to speak, a loud shout came from outside the courtyard.

Li Yuanzhao rushed in like a whirlwind. The moment he saw Lian Yong, his eyes burst out with surprise and he said: "You are Lian Yong? I heard Guo Tianyang said you came here to transfer troops to prepare for the exercise?"

He had been looking forward to the exercise for a long time, and had been sending people to Guo Tianyang to inquire about news, just waiting to embarrass Lao Fang.

Now that the action had begun, how could he stay idle!

The two of them looked sideways at the same time, and Lian Yong hurriedly knelt down and said: "This servant greets Your Highness!"

General Guo also smiled and bowed. The number of times the crown prince had met him was quite a lot, and he especially liked his carefree personality.

"Your Highness, His Majesty's edict is to transfer three hundred elite soldiers from the Fenwu Camp, and one hundred secret agents from the East Depot, to send people to attack Meng Weimin's centurion's office tonight."

Li Yuanzhao stopped in his tracks, his expression somewhat sluggish, "Four hundred people? I've inquired about the Jinyiwei's situation, and they are not fully staffed at all. Your strength is at least seven or eight times theirs, and they have only been training for a short time. It's a bit of an unfair victory, isn't it?"

General Guo smiled wryly: "This minister also thinks so, but... His Majesty must have his plans. Although this minister has not traveled outside, I have heard that the Jinyiwei are strict in discipline, and Master Fang must have his extraordinary qualities."

Then he paused, "But four hundred people... is indeed a bit too much. There's no glory in winning!"

Three hundred top elites attacking a centurion's office, and also bringing one hundred secret agents from the East Depot.

What's the difference between this kind of behavior in the eyes of peers and defecating in the street?

Losing or winning is embarrassing, if this matter spreads to other capital garrisons, I'm afraid it will make people laugh their teeth off!

"This matter is indeed a bit strange, let me see Father Emperor's edict." Li Yuanzhao said.

General Guo silently handed over the edict.

Li Yuanzhao unfolded it and glanced at it, and was amused.

"There is no specific number of people to be transferred on it, it only says to be used as a supplement to the East Depot. How can there be a reason to send out one hundred people and supplement three hundred people! I think this guy Guo Tianyang is just feeling guilty, haha!"

"Your Highness! That's not the case... Really not the case." Lian Yong was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead, and he explained in a flustered manner.

Seeing this scene, General Guo suddenly had a sense of enlightenment.

So that's how it is, that makes sense!

His Majesty is experienced and cannot issue such an unreasonable order.

It must be the East Depot taking advantage of the room for manipulation.

Thinking of this, General Guo glanced at Lian Yong, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Seeing Lian Yong sweating profusely, Li Yuanzhao smiled and said: "What are you anxious about! His arrangement is right, Lao Fang does have extraordinary qualities! That guy has a frightening number of crooked ideas."

"Since it's already an unfair victory, then add another two hundred people, and order these two hundred people to disguise themselves as civilians and launch a surprise attack in three routes! Be prepared to be absolutely thorough, you can underestimate anyone, but you can't underestimate Lao Fang."

General Guo was shocked: "Your Highness... You..."

"This prince came here this time, naturally I can't let go of such a good opportunity! I will personally lead the troops, take down the centurion's office, and capture Meng Weimin alive!" Li Yuanzhao said confidently, "You don't need to worry, I have already made arrangements with Father Emperor."

The crown prince personally leading troops to fight?

General Guo didn't have much reaction. He understood both His Majesty and the Crown Prince, not to mention that the Crown Prince should have made arrangements after receiving the news from the palace.

The exercise was just a trivial matter. Any Jinyiwei centurion's office in the entire capital could be chosen at random. It wouldn't take half an hour, there was no office that the Fenwu Camp couldn't take down!

The Crown Prince's safety was naturally not a concern either. After the fight, he would return directly to the palace, with no problems!

Lian Yong on the side hesitated, hesitating and said: "Your Highness, this time it's this servant..."

"I heard that Guo Tianyang asked you to bring people! But I think forget it, this prince will go in person, do you have any objections?"

Lian Yong forced a smile, and said with difficulty: "This servant dares not, then please allow this servant to take his leave."

"You are not allowed to go anywhere, just stay by this prince's side, don't go looking for trouble!"

......

Inside the Zhenfu Division, Fang Zheng was on duty as usual.

Progress has been smooth these days. Personnel from the thousand households office to the lowest level have all been gathered.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are of one mind from top to bottom.

In addition, with the construction and recommendation of folk organizations, news from the capital is transmitted like flowing water.

After layers of review, the most important news is gathered in Fang Zheng's hands, waiting to be reviewed.

Even with someone to share the burden, the workload is still a bit large, one is to cope with the East Depot's surprise attack, and the other is to improve the process arrangement of the Jinyiwei from top to bottom.

Fang Zheng has been maintaining a high-intensity working state.

After reading dozens of secret reports, Fang Zheng raised his head and let out a long breath, slowly rubbing his eyebrows.

Qian Desheng, who was beside him, quickly poured a cup of tea, thoughtfully said: "Master, why don't you take a rest for a while. Now the capital is completely under our control, there is no need to be too nervous. I am shocked to see such a news system."

Fang Zheng smiled and said: "The people have not been trained, we may not be able to receive first-hand news when the East Depot organizes a night attack, it is better to be cautious."

"By the way, how are the support group's fans arranged?"

Fans?

Qian Desheng thought for a moment, but did not react.

The word 'fans' was only recently spread from the master's mouth, referring to those fanatical supporters. Although he didn't understand why he called them that. But... the acceptance of it spread to the people seems to be very high, and it immediately spread.

Mostly it is related to eating, the people's enthusiasm for eating is always unusual.

"Everything is going smoothly, it has all been arranged according to your instructions. Those core fans are very active."

"That's good."

Fang Zheng smiled, picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, when suddenly a petty official rushed into the office in a hurry, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Sir! News has come from the people that a large number of officers and soldiers have entered Beijing from the North City Gate, the number is more than three hundred!"
