  Chapter 2664 Guizi Scroll Imprisonment, Chaos

"What are you waiting for, dispatch immediately! Zhang Jin's standard-bearer guards are only 3,000 people, and the Warriors' Battalion and the Four Guards Battalion combined are twice as large as him. He can't last long. Now only your Fifth Army Battalion is the strongest in the capital city. !" Xiao Ruxun yelled at Ma Chengxun aggressively: "Why, you're still planning to take the lead at this time? You don't understand the consequences?"

   Ma Chengxun felt bitter in his heart, but he couldn't refute it.

   Either he should have refused from the beginning, or he should have no hesitation at this time. Although Xiao Ruxun is a villain who tends to power, what he said is correct.

   No matter what, it's time, there is nothing to say, whether it is a disaster or a blessing, it will have to be done.

  Accompanied by the Fifth Army Battalion dispatched to the streets, Xiao Ruxun issued an order to keep the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp not to leave the camp, and to stand by inside the camp gate.

Both Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu were angry, but Xiao Ruxun was acting as Jiedushi. In theory, if his orders were not overturned by a higher level, such as an order from the Ministry of War, they had to abide by them. Otherwise, it would be considered a violation of military law. The law should be cut.

  Of course, this is only theoretical. Unless it is wartime, even the Minister of the Ministry of War does not have such great power to deal with the Shenshuying and Shenjiying Jiedushi under military law.

   But the most difficult thing for them is that they have not received any instructions, whether it is from the cabinet or the Ministry of War, this is what makes them most at a loss.

As a warrior, the most fearful thing is this kind of situation. No one gives an order, which means that no one takes responsibility. This is in the middle of Beijing. Generally speaking, they also hope to have a boss they recognize or trust to give them orders, not a role like Xiao Ruxun who is obviously incompatible with them.

Feng Ziying wrote to them in the early stage, but in the letter it only mentioned that Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun should be vigilant, but vigilance is vigilance, that is, they should not let Xiao Ruxun and Ma Chengxun interfere in the command of their Shenshu Camp and Shenji Battalion , but now Xiao Ruxun just keeps them quiet in the camp, and although Ma Chengxun's Fifth Army Battalion has left the camp, it has not launched an attack on the Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp, but according to their judgment, it is estimated that they will attack The Four Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion started.

  The battle between the Four Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion and the Banner Guards was due to the competition for the right to guard the imperial palace.

The Fifth Army Battalion has more than 30,000 people, while the combined Shenshu Battalion and Shenji Battalion only have more than 20,000 people. There is an inherent gap in military strength, and the combat effectiveness of the Fifth Army Battalion is no less than that of Shenshu Battalion under the same size. The Shenji Battalion is set up in the camp. Once there is a fight, let alone the uncertainty of the outcome, the entire capital city may be smashed to pieces.

  The Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp are not too far apart, so Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu got in touch immediately.

   Both of them were from the Northwest Army, one was from Guyuan Town, which Feng Ziying single-handedly promoted when he was the governor of Shaanxi, and the other was from a rebel general in Ningxia Town, who later became Feng Tang's confidant.

Although they all belonged to the people who followed Feng Tang and Feng Keng and his son, as Feng Tang began to retire, all connections and subordinates have been handed over to Feng Ziying, like Liu Dongyang, Cao Wenzhao, He Renlong, Liu Baichuan, People like Tu Wenxiu and Xu Chao have completed their role change and have become Feng Ziying's direct descendants.

At this time, we can't wait anymore, the situation has become increasingly clear, Feng Ziying also vaguely mentioned it to them in the letter, so after a little discussion, the two armies dispatched at the same time, each seized important areas around Miyagi, declared martial law, and prevented The Fifth Army Battalion directly defeated the Four Guards Battalion and the Warriors Battalion.

  At the same time, Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu also sent people to contact He Zhisheng and Xu Chao, and began to coordinate and plan to join forces.

But Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu actually have no confidence in their hearts. Before a clear leader comes out to raise their arms, they can only take actions on their own without a clue. What they desire most at this time is the cabinet or the government. The Ministry of War directly ordered how to take action, so that they would have a bottom line in their hearts.

From the bottom of their hearts, they also blamed Feng Ziying for not returning to the capital. Now that he is far away in Liaodong, how can he deal with this situation? Feng Tang has now retired, and his influence has been greatly reduced. Without the authorization of the Ministry of War, it is difficult for people to accept .

  Sun Chengzong never thought that he would be directly put under house arrest by Long Jinwei's people, and the right servant Xiong Tingbi was also "arrested".

  Yuan Keli, the left servant, went to Shanshan for inspection and has not yet returned to Beijing.

The entire Ministry of War is in chaos now. When Sun Chengzong went to the office of the Ministry of War, he was a little dissatisfied after learning of the cabinet’s plan for a showdown. He always felt that this was a bit sloppy, or that the people in the cabinet thought the problem too simply. .

They thought that after such persecution, Emperor Wantong would obediently approve and use the seal, and Li Sancai and Tang Binyin would stop fighting, but they didn't expect that you were trying to dig the roots of Emperor Wantong, which was equivalent to killing him. For Li Sancai, this also cut off his hope of going further in his official career. In the future, he will not be able to write a rich record of being the chief assistant in his family tree. Why not work hard?

  The evil results were immediately apparent. Long Jinwei and Banner Guards immediately blocked the area of ​​Dashi Yongfang. Except for the absence of the Sanfa Division, the other six departments were in this area, almost "killing them all".

  Sun Chengzong only realized at this time how weak he, the Minister of the Ministry of War, had over the three pro-army forces. After all, he was less politically sensitive.

It can't be blamed on himself for being too contemptuous of the Shang San Qin Army. In fact, the Shang San Qin Army totaled more than 10,000 horsemen, and they were responsible for the task of confinement in the palace. People are worth paying attention to, but it really doesn't make much sense to go to the three pro-military forces, unless today's situation happens.

   Unexpected things happened, Banner Guard and Long Banwei actually joined forces for a "coup".

   It cannot be regarded as a mutiny, it can only be regarded as a coup, because they launched this "rebellion" under the orders of the emperor and Li Sancai, the cabinet minister in charge of the Ministry of War.

According to common sense, if this kind of thing happens, the Beijing camp should intervene decisively, but the acting Jiedu envoy of the Beijing camp is Li Sancai's confidant, and the main force of the Beijing camp, Ma Chengxun of the Fifth Army Battalion, has already taken refuge in Li Sancai, or they They have already pledged their allegiance under the consolation of Emperor Wantong. In this case, although the Shenshuying and Shenjiying are still under the orders of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, Sun Chengzong does not think that Ma Jinbao and Tu Wenxiu dare to be in a situation of inferior forces. Without the orders of the cabinet and the Ministry of War, they resisted the orders of their nominal boss, Xiao Ruxun, and ignored Ma Chengxun's coercion.

   It may only be temporary. Once Li Sancai forms a cabinet, I am afraid that I will be replaced immediately as Minister of the Ministry of War. Maybe Xiong Tingbi, who is a member of Huguang scholars and has not been involved in these matters, will end up well.

"Fei Bai, what should we do now?" Sun Chengzong and Xiong Tingbi have an average relationship. Although they have worked together for more than two years, they don't have much personal friendship. In comparison, Yuan Keli and Sun Chengzong are closer. It's a pity that Yuan Keli went to Shanshan .

  Xiong Tingbi stood in front of the window, looking out of the window at Long Jinwei Fanzi and the standard-bearer guards who were holding their swords and swords, with a bitter expression on their faces.

"I don't know what to do? How did Qi Xiang and the others do things? Since there is a showdown with the emperor, the palace ban must be guarded. The standard-bearer guard failed to catch him. How did Ziying make arrangements in the first place?" The personnel affairs of the Three Parents Army? How can someone like Zhang Jin with ulterior motives become the commander of the standard-bearer guard?"

Xiong Tingbi's complaint also made Sun Chengzong a little ashamed, "I really can't blame Ziying for this matter. When Duke Huaichang, Ziying and I were studying military personnel, in order to reward Lu Song for his support, Zhang Jinsu came with the Ministry of War. The cooperation here is relatively tacit, including the peace in the south of the Yangtze River, so Zhang Jin was appointed as the commander of the standard guard. Later, when Ziying left Beijing for Liaodong, she also told me that the garrison in Beijing must be well managed, but I didn't care too much. I feel that the Shangsan Qin Army only has more than 10,000 people, and its combat effectiveness is also very average, far inferior to the frontier army. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen..."

   "Then Zhang Jin didn't notice the problem at all?" Xiong Tingbi was still dissatisfied, "If Ziying recommends the candidate, it's his responsibility! It's unbelievable that a defector should be selected for such an important position."

"As far as I know, Zhang Jin and Ziying have a relatively close relationship, but this rebellion probably has a lot to do with Lu Song. Zhang Jin has been Lu Song's subordinate for many years, and the main middle and low-level military officers of the Banner Guard are all from Long Jinwei. I'm afraid Zhang Jin is in that situation, and he can't object,..."

  Sun Chengzong still explained for Feng Ziying, "Ziying reminded me about Long Jinwei before. I just thought about Long Jinwei, but I didn't expect that there was such a joint. I was careless..."

"We were all careless, and the ministers in the cabinet were too entrusted with it. I really thought that everyone was a modest gentleman. If you agree in person, you must obey the overall situation even if you don't agree. Hehe, but Li Sancai didn't follow the agreed rules. Moreover, Tang Binyin and Zhang Jingqiu have been connected to the emperor, so it's no wonder that they are greedy for profit, but I'll see how Li San will end up." Xiong Tingbi said angrily.

  Sun Chengzong glanced at Xiong Tingbi, and said indifferently: "What if Dongxian (Guan Yingzhen), Zishu (Chai Ke), and Xiuling (Yang He) finally accepted the reality?"

Xiong Tingbi was taken aback, and Sun Chengzong's result was not impossible. If Guan Yingzhen continued to serve as a cabinet minister, Chai Ke, Yang He, and Yang Lian, a group of Huguang scholars would no longer object, and Li Sancai successfully formed a cabinet, then he would finally admit it. Do not admit and accept the reality?

  Under the harsh reality, do you still want the dignity of scholars?
