MTL - Number of People-Chapter 2666 Guizi roll weak chicken, useless

  Chapter 2666 Guizi scroll weak chicken, useless

  Li Sancai was furious.

   Facing the hail of bullets ahead, the crackling sound from the firecrackers, and the constant dust splashing from the walls, building corners, and the ground, he held Zhongzhi in his hand and didn't know what to do for a while.

  In the end, he could only retreat helplessly.

  The Seventh Ministry had just had time to talk with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, but there was no result. All officials remained silent. Most people neither objected nor agreed.

  A small number of people clearly expressed their opposition. Those at the level of Shangshu Shilang have a clear attitude. Without the recommendation and approval of the current cabinet, they will not recognize this purpose.

  Miao Changqi, who is the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has expressed his opposition, and it is even more impossible for others, but Li Sancai still has some confidence in Miao Changqi.

  It is better for him to oppose at this time. When the conditions are negotiated, he changes his attitude, which will inevitably lead to changes in the attitudes of the people in the Ministry of Rites.

  The objection of most people is also reasonable. If Qi Yongtai doesn't even have this ability, then he is not worthy of being the chief assistant.

  But Li Sancai is not in a hurry, as long as the situation in the capital city is under control, there will be plenty of opportunities to defeat them.

  Because there is no beginning yet, no one wants to be the early bird.

  Wait until from the Miao Chang period, some people start to change course one after another, then the situation will slowly turn around.

  He knows very well that the so-called integrity of these scholar-officials is limited, and die-hards are a minority after all.

  Even if Guan Yingzhen, Huang Ruliang and others are allies of Qi Yongtai on the surface, they are also Huguang and Jiangnan scholars, and they also need to consider the interests of their respective groups.

   In the end, it is nothing more than an exchange of interests and a compromise.

   Sometimes it’s okay to take a step back, as long as you can achieve your basic intentions and goals.

   "Guests, Jing Qiu, what do you think we should do now?" Li Sancai looked at the smoke and chaos in front of him, retreated under the cover of the standard-bearer guards, and discussed with the two who were advancing and retreating together.

  Since Tang Binyin and Zhang Jingqiu were appointed by default to join the cabinet as his garrisons, although Guan Yingzhen and Huang Ruliang can do things, they are still not in one mind after all, at least to stabilize the situation in the early stage, they have to rely on these two.

  Tang Binyin is purely a literati with a strong mouth, but he has not been an official for a long time and has little experience. In the cabinet, his status is similar to that of a decoration, and he has not grasped such things at all.

  Zhang Jingqiu is different. After working in Nanjing for a long time, and sitting in the positions of Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of the Ministry of War for a long time, he still has some understanding of military affairs.

Tang Binyin was tongue-tied and didn't know what to do, but Zhang Jingqiu was still calm: "The situation is difficult to control now. When Feng Keng was the Minister of the Ministry of War two years ago, he used a lot of means to regulate the Beijing camp and the upper three relatives. Above all, the Northwest Army is the main force, and Ma Chengxun can't control it. Fortunately, Zhang Jin was suppressed by Lu Song, otherwise this situation..."

  Li Sancai couldn't help but said: "Xiao Ruxun is also from the Northwest Army,..."

"Xiao Ruxun can't do it. After the Ningxia rebellion, although Liu Dongyang, Liu Baichuan, Tu Wenxiu, and Xu Chao were suppressed, these people are very popular among middle and lower-level officers. Those people think that Liu Dongyang and these people are fighting for their interests. As for the rebel, Xiao Ruxun came to take over later, blindly following the intention of the court, so the officers hated him very much, his prestige was very low, and he couldn't entertain these Northwest soldiers at all..."

  Zhang Jingqiu deserved to be from the Minister of War, and he hit the point in one sentence.

"Then in this situation, are we just waiting to die like this? The Shenshu Camp and the Shenji Camp fought against the Fifth Army Battalion, while the Four Guards Camp and the Warriors Battalion were still besieging the Banner Guard. Shrunk in the room and did not move, presumably to watch the situation change, but what should we do?"

  Li Sancai was a little anxious, walked a few times, either blocked from the east, or blocked from the west, or it was raining bullets, so he didn't dare to take risks.

   Tang Binyin is unreliable, and Zhang Jingqiu is also in trouble.

  He was a bit reluctant to be pulled out. If it was Emperor Yonglong, he would naturally have no hesitation in giving it to him, but he was a little reluctant for Emperor Wantong.

It's just that he was a little dissatisfied that he was quietly put down from the position of Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was only in his early fifties, in his prime, and in good health, so he could do it again Ten years, so in this hesitant state of mind, he was finally persuaded by Emperor Wantong and Li Sancai.

   Now facing this impasse, he has never experienced it before.

When he was Minister of the Ministry of War, he had more contacts with veteran generals such as Feng Tang, Wang Ziteng, Niu Jizong, You Shigong, and He Shixian, but he had little contact with the group of middle-aged and young generals who rose up later. , There is no friendship.

   What's more, civil servants' natural disdain for generals makes them unwilling to take the initiative to hand over the details.

  So when it comes to military generals like Tu Wenxiu, Ma Jinbao, and He Zhisheng, he doesn't have much to do with them, let alone talk, even if he wants to help lobby and persuade him, he can't talk to him.

"Now that the war has started, if you want to expect someone to put down their weapons if they are said a few words now, I'm afraid it's not realistic. If it's not possible, I'm afraid we still have to open the west gate to let the Xuanfu army come in." Zhang Jingqiu gritted his teeth and said, "Otherwise, if this drags on, the situation will only become more and more difficult to control. The long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Once the Xuanfu army enters the city, the overwhelming advantage will make Shenshuying, Shenjiying, and the four guards all come together." Neither the Battalion nor the Warriors' Battalion had any chance at all, they could only surrender,..."

  Li Sancai hesitated. He knew very well that once the Xuanfu army entered the city, it would break the hundred-year-old rule of the Zhou Dynasty—frontier troops would not enter Beijing.

But once the frontier army enters the capital, they may not be able to control them. These are fierce wild people who have been stationed on the frontier fortress for a long time. When this kind of war is raging, how can we take so much into consideration, the entire capital city may be completely wiped out.

   And these people were recruited into the city by themselves, and they would become sinners in history. At this time, Li Sancai was a little timid and cowering.

  He wanted to be the first assistant, but he didn't want to be recorded in the history books as the sinner who was looted in the capital city.

  He also didn't have the confidence to control the frontier troops like Xuanfu Army and Datong Army.

Even if they really helped Emperor Wantong regain power and consolidate the throne, they would also fulfill their wish and become the first assistant. If the exchange was that the capital city was looted or even turned into a white ground, then they would definitely be nailed to the monument of shame In fact, no one can clear up this black history for him.

  Seeing that Li Sancai was hesitant, Zhang Jingqiu was a little anxious for him.

  It’s already this time, and you’re still indecisive, hesitating, how can you make a big deal?

It is also Emperor Wantong who is sealed in the city now, otherwise he will directly order Liu Ting and Sun Shaozu to enter Jingqin King to **** him. This slogan is so smooth. As for looting the city, so what, that coup did not change. Experienced a **** storm?

   "I'm thinking about it. It's a big matter. Now I can't contact the emperor. If the Xuanfu army and the Datong army enter the city, the situation will be out of control. At that time..." Li Sancai stammered.

   Zhang Jingqiu didn't understand the meaning of Li Sancai's words?

Without the emperor's decree, he alone was responsible for the crime of recruiting the frontier army into the city. If there was a commotion and he could not step down, maybe Emperor Wantong would throw him out as a scapegoat. Isn't it just a matter of changing someone to be the chief assistant?

   This possibility does exist, but what Zhang Jingqiu finds unacceptable is that at this time, do you, Li Sancai, still have a choice?

  Either you honestly listened to Qi Yongtai's arrangement at the beginning, and everyone was happy when you became an official and drank tea, but you are not willing to do this, but now you are afraid of blood, this first assistant is so good?

"Daofu, what's the time now? If it drags on, the entire capital city may become uncontrollable. Once there are too many casualties, the soldiers will be red-eyed, and once the **** wildness is released, it is equally possible to do anything. It's better to let Liu Ting and Sun Shaozu lead the troops into the city, and solve the battle in twos and fives to control the situation, maybe the situation is not so bad and we can't delay any longer." Zhang Jingqiu became anxious for Li Sancai.

  Li Sancai couldn't help rubbing his hands, and looked at Tang Binyin: "Guest, what do you think of what Jing Qiu said?"

"Well, what the guest said is indeed reasonable, but the ancestral precept here that the army does not enter the capital is not easy to break, and it is easy to invite the gods to send the gods away. These warriors have entered the capital, and you have to invite them out. How much more has the Ministry been ruined? Besides, it’s only half a day now, and the sky is about to fade away. It’s better to wait until dawn tomorrow. If the situation is still deadlocked and difficult to break, it’s not too late to order the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army to enter the city. Jing Qiu, how do you feel?"

Tang Binyin is also at both ends of the rat, he is not sure about his decision, he is afraid that the frontier army will come in and mess up, but he is also worried that the situation will change if it drags on. .

  Zhang Jingqiu was also stomped by Tang Binyin's words, can he wait for a night at this time?

  Each hour may lead to some unforeseen changes. Five hours pass this night, God knows what will happen?

"Daofu, we can't wait! We must call Liu Ting and Sun Shaozu immediately and let their soldiers enter the city. Now that the western city gates are under the control of the Fifth Army Battalion, hurry up..." Zhang Jingqiu wished he could grab the opponent's chest and shake him awake, Don't be so naive and indecisive, when the time comes, it will really be a knife and an ax to your neck.

Li Sancai hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "Wait a little longer, maybe Ma Chengxun's Fifth Army Battalion can make a breakthrough. I am optimistic about the Fifth Army Battalion. If there is no progress in Maozheng tomorrow, I will recruit Liu Ting and Sun Shaozu to the capital. They have all arrived at Longhutai, and as long as they get an order, they can enter Beijing in one day."

  Seeing the other party like this, Zhang Jingqiu couldn't stop sighing, but he thought that the Xuanfu Army and the Datong Army were both in Longhutai, which was just a day away, and it seemed impossible that there would be any changes, so he could only nod and accept.
