Chapter 2663: Gui Zi Juan Mutiny and Coup, Chaos

Now that You Shigong has expressed his stance, the next arrangements will be much simpler.

The troops of the Santun camp immediately moved westward and stationed in Xiamendian. Originally, Feng Ziying wanted them to station directly in Tongzhou, but the force of joining forces with the troops marching westward from Denglai Town was too great, which could easily cause unnecessary associations. Without confirmation, Before some things, Feng Ziying felt that she should keep a low profile for the time being.

In addition, several garrisons stationed in Zunhua and Zhongtunwei in Pinggu Yingzhou were transferred to a total of more than 20,000 people. They were led by You Shiwei and immediately Zhengcunba.

This action is obvious, but considering that the garrison led by You Shiwei was originally near Pinggu, this "training" is barely justified.

Feng Ziying actually didn't want to get to the point where the swords met, but he couldn't think about how to solve the problem when it finally got to this point.

The alliance between Emperor Wan Tong and Li Sancai, and if some top scholars such as Tang Binyin also join, it is indeed possible to have as much influence in public opinion and the common people as the seven civil servants of the cabinet headed by Qi Yongtai. Those who fight against the group, especially among ordinary people, will naturally recognize that the emperor is Zhengshuo. Without the emperor, it seems that the country will be without a general.

 The day after the order was issued, Feng Ziyi arrived.

Feng Ziyi rode out of Beijing that day and arrived at Santun camp overnight.

Feng Ziyi traveled almost non-stop for more than three hundred miles. He changed horses at the inn halfway and finally arrived.

 Fortunately, I met Feng Ziying as soon as I arrived and was about to rush to Shunyi.

 The appearance of Feng Ziyi made Feng Ziying immediately have a premonition that the situation was not good.

Feng Ziyi was able to ignore her own responsibilities and go to Santun Camp to warn herself. You can imagine how dangerous the situation has become.

“You mean that Lu Song and Zhang Jin have different intentions?” Feng Ziying took a breath of cold air.

He had a premonition that something would happen to Lu Song, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jin would also switch sides.

You must know that before he left Liaodong and returned to the capital city, he had written to everyone in advance to remind everyone.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin, as the commander of the flag guard, had changed his mind at this time. Fortunately, he did not mention that he was going back to Beijing in his letter, but only reminded them to pay attention to the changes in the situation in Beijing.

“My nephew is not sure, but Mr. Lu and Mr. Zhang have been in private contact in the past few months, and they are relatively frequent.” Feng Ziyi said cautiously, while also observing Feng Ziying’s face.

He was not sure. After all, there was no real evidence. Zhang Jin was Lu Song's direct confidant in Long Jinwei, and the relationship had always been close. Although Zhang Jin now went to the Banner Guard to serve as the commander, there might have been private friendships and exchanges between them. There doesn't seem to be a problem if there are more.

 But Feng Ziying didn’t believe it.

Once Lu Song and Zhang Jin collude, the situation will be quite dangerous.

Long Jinwei has the information of the Central and Central Government's eyes and ears, and the Banner Guards are the leaders of the first and second battalions guarding the palace. When he transferred Xu Chao, who was originally the commander of the Banner Guards, to the Fourth Guards Battalion to replace Du Keli as the commander, That is to say, considering Zhang Jin's reliability, Xu Chao was transferred to control the Four Guards Camp. Unexpectedly, Zhang Jin eventually rebelled.

Feng Ziying always thought that the Second Guards Battalion of the Shangsanqinjun was the one she could trust the most, but she didn't expect that Lu Song would change his mind and take Zhang Jin away directly.

Think about it, Zhang Jin has followed Lu Song for decades in Long Jinwei, and has been promoted along the way. Moreover, his main deployment in the Banner Guards was also brought by Long Jinwei. The interests and feelings of this large group of people are Intertwined, there is no reason to follow him wholeheartedly with someone he has only known for a few years.

What's more, I have been away from Liaodong for a few years, and I am somewhat alienated from the central government. There is no way this is the impact of distance.

Feng Ziying believed that if she had stayed in Beijing in the past two years, this kind of thing might not have happened. At least she could have discovered the abnormality early.

"Is there no problem with Xu Chao and He Zhisheng?" Feng Ziying still trusted these two people.

He Zhisheng was a life-and-death friend who formed a relationship during the civil war in Ganzhou. Although He Zhisheng was also born in Wuxun, he was a side branch. The He family did not provide him with much resource help, and he had to rely on Feng Ziyingcai to get promoted.

 Needless to say, Xu Chao, the northwest general, is the direct descendant of his father.

"Xu Chao can't tell, Master He should have no problem." Feng Ziyi smiled bitterly, "But this kind of thing is so heart-breaking that my nephew doesn't dare to trust anyone, so he didn't even say anything to Master He and went directly to the house. Come on, I got the instructions from the boss and came here."

 Feng Ziying nodded.

The Banner Guards controlled the imperial palace, which meant that it was impossible for the cabinet to achieve a complete legal victory.

Emperor Wan Tong had the support of the palace ban, so it was naturally impossible for him to authorize Gu Bingqian to form a cabinet. He would probably directly authorize Li Sancai to form a cabinet. However, without the approval of Qi Yongtai as the current chief minister, it would be difficult for the civil servants to get this imperial decree. recognition.

But this disapproval may only be temporary and the stalemate lasts for a few days. If Emperor Wan Tong and Li Sancai, Tang Bin and Yin and others go to work respectively, it is difficult to say whether anyone will change their mind.

Jiangnan scholars have a bad impression of Gu Bingqian. Even Huang Ruliang doesn't really approve of Gu Bingqian. Once someone among the Jiangnan scholars changes their attitude, it will be even harder to say among the Huguang scholars. Can Guan Yingzhen and Chai Ke control all the Huguang scholars? People like Xiong Tingbi, Yang He, Yang Lian, and Bi Ziyan.

More important is the movement of the army in Beijing.

Once the Fifth Military Camp controls the entire capital city, or in other words, the fifth military camp controls the security of the entire capital city with the support of the Xuanfu Army, then the situation is over. I am afraid that "die hard elements" such as Qi Yongtai, Gu Bingqian, and Qiao Yingjia who cannot compromise may Will be placed under house arrest by Long Jinwei, unable to speak at all. Li Sancai directly accepted the order to form a cabinet, even if it was not approved by the existing chief ministers and ministers, it was just a middle order. The civil servants could not accept it, but the general trend How long can this persistence last?

Feng Ziying has never believed in the integrity of civil servants in this era. When the time comes to impose a knife on one's neck or give away interests, how many people can withstand it?

 She must return to the capital city immediately. Feng Ziying also believes that the cabinet's handwritten letter to recall her has been out long ago, but it has not yet reached her.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as you enter the capital city, there are naturally a hundred ways to get this formal document for returning to the capital in name.

The Ji Zhen Army and the Denglai Army must be utilized. Fortunately, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu are on the Shunyi line. They can be ordered to go out immediately, or directly enter Beijing.

It is a pity that You Shigong was a step too late, otherwise he would have pushed directly to the west, directly forcing the Xuanfu army to be unable to approach the capital city. But now it seems that Liu Wei should have taken the first step, and it was too late.

"Zi Yi, I'm afraid you can't rest anymore. You must rush back to the capital immediately, bring my words to He Zhisheng and Xu Chao, and order them to lead the four guards and warriors to block the flag-hand guard. Although the flag-hand guard controls The palace is banned, but your two battalions want to block them, and block the palace and city as well..."

Feng Ziying felt Feng Ziyi's shock and worry, and waved her hand, "I will also go to Beijing immediately, but I need to arrange things here at Ji Zhenjun. In addition, I am worried that there will be chaos in the Beijing camp. Ma Chengxun, Ma Jinbaotu Wenxiu and the others will Let’s start a fight immediately…”

Feng Ziyi felt her lips were dry. She swallowed and said, "Uncle, is there no other choice?"

"Haha, what do you say at this time? Let's do it." Feng Ziying patted the other party confidently: "One general can achieve great success, so there is no need to worry about small details when doing big things. Some things are unavoidable."

Not to mention that Feng Ziying once again rushed to the capital city day and night, Feng Ziying also realized the seriousness of the situation.

He had to rush back to the capital city as soon as possible. In his opinion, civil servants like Qi Shi and others were more modest and more disciplined in doing such things. Perhaps this was a common problem among civil servants. In comparison, I am afraid that Emperor Wan Tong and others Lu Song and the others would not be so rigid.

 Fortunately, arrangements have been made here, and he only needs to urge You Shigong to let You Shiwei quickly integrate several armies to move towards the Pinggu-Shunyi line.

The situation in the city is still unclear, but according to his own judgment, if Emperor Wan Tong feels that the situation in the city can be controlled by relying on the fifth military camp and the flag-bearing guards, then it is best to let the Xuanfu army sit outside the city to "protect". After all, The entry of border troops into the capital had a huge impact on the entire capital city and even the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since the founding of the country, there has been no precedent for border troops entering the capital city. This means civil strife, and may even be a precursor to the collapse of a dynasty. It is a very bad sign and has extremely bad meaning and impact.

Feng Ziying does not have so many taboos. As long as the situation is not good, he will immediately let the Denglai Army and the Jizhen Army enter the city to win the battle. As for who will say anything later, that is a matter for later. They have all become prisoners. , and it is meaningless to say this.

He even regretted a little. He had known that Liu Baichuan from Jiangbei Town should also take a boat from Xuzhou to Beijing. Calculating the time, it would not be much different.

Just when Feng Ziying rode towards the capital city, the situation in the capital city did indeed deteriorate sharply in an irreconcilable direction as he expected.

When Emperor Wan Tong's chamberlain delivered the imperial edict to Wenyuan Pavilion, the shocked ministers and ministers resolutely rejected it without any suspense, and instead demanded that the emperor must use the imperial approval seal as drafted by the cabinet vote. Of course this is meaningless.

The flag-bearer guards who followed immediately blocked the entire Wenyuan Pavilion, and the Fourth Guards Battalion and the Warrior Battalion, which had reacted at this time, quickly rushed towards Wenyuan Pavilion. The three armies who were also the first and second battalions were right there Wenyuan Pavilion and Qibu Gongshe started a fierce battle.

The whole capital city suddenly became chaotic. This was not an era of cold weapons, but an era where firearms ruled the roost. The sky was filled with gunpowder smoke and crackling gunshots. The people of the capital city didn't have to guess what was going on. There was a mutiny. What else could it be?
