Siwei Camp was originally indecisive, and there were many former Changlin Army soldiers among them. It was only with Qin Yiyan's comfort that they guaranteed neutrality.
Qin Yiyan did not dare to change generals on a large scale at this time. Once a mutiny occurred, the gains would outweigh the losses, so he could only slowly persuade and recruit non-Zhu Zhankun's direct descendants to surrender.
There is no doubt that the loyalty of the generals and commanders from the Changlin Army to Zhu Zhankun is unquestionable.
The arrival of Puding Marquis Chen Huan and Dongchuan Marquis Hu Bin was like sparks igniting in a powder keg, exploding instantly!
"Establish the King of Wei and punish the rebels!"
At this sound, the school captains and soldiers who were originally loyal to Zhu Zhankun began to shout and join forces, and the sounds of chaos arose one after another. As the first person drew a knife and hacked to death the guard of Qin Yiyan who was maintaining order, the riot began.
The middle and lower-level officers composed of Changlin Army, from the team leader to the commander-in-chief and the school lieutenant, began to organize quickly.
The northern camp of the Imperial Guard City, which was originally stable, exploded!
Although Puding Marquis and Dongchuan Marquis are noble sons, they are not drunkards. At this moment, they showed good military qualities. They immediately divided the imperial camp and surrounded the Chinese army tent where Qin Yiyan was located. Established his connection with other soldiers and horses.
The mobilization of the Royal Forest Army must require an imperial decree. The reason why Yang Qingyuan was able to mobilize the Yulin Army was because of his unparalleled prestige among the original Tiance Army and the Jinyang Army. Among the soldiers and horses in the big camp in the city, most of the four military camps were soldiers and horses of the original Tiance Army and Jinyang Army, and there was no time to reorganize.
However, under the mobilization of Li Chengguang, the right minister of the Ministry of War, the Siwu Camp was "normally" transferred to the outer city of Shendu.
Only then did Yang Qingyuan seize the opportunity and rebel.
But Puding Marquis and Dongchuan Marquis did not have such prestige. Although he had some cronies in the army, they were far from comparable to Yang Qingyuan.
So they can only wait for the opportunity.
Dongchuan Hou Hu Bin waited for most of the night, and finally got an opportunity! An opportunity for a comeback!
Hu Bin's confidants sent him a decree issued by Yang Qingyuan in the name of the Queen Mother that the emperor was dead. This imperial edict to Yang Qingyuan was originally intended to persuade him to surrender, but now it was used as a token by Hu Bin to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Siwei Camp in the north of the city.
The middle and lower-ranking officers of Siwei Camp were all born in Lin, the former head of the Prince's Palace. They were very loyal to Zhu Zhankun. After learning that Yang Qingyuan had rebelled and killed the emperor, they naturally refused to give up.
So under the instigation of Dongchuan Hou and Puding Hou, the riot began.
This is not actually a mistake in Yang Qingyuan's layout. No matter what, as long as the situation is stabilized, Yang Qingyuan must use the name of the Queen Mother to stabilize all parties. This was a necessary move, and in this move Dongchuan Hou and Puding Hou found an opportunity to rebel.
They are all generals who have led troops, and they know very well that those who win the imperial army can win the city of God!
Although there are still small groups of soldiers such as Jinwu Guards and Yulin Army in the capital, these soldiers and horses have been sparse for a long time and are no match for the Yulin Army.
The leader, Dongchuan Hou Hu Bin, did not move without permission. Until this moment, he seized the opportunity and teamed up with Puding Hou Chen Huan to launch a fatal blow!
If they really took control of the camp in the north of the city, they would be a real threat to the city of God.
The situation suddenly became confusing.
The sounds of killing one after another echoed in the night sky in the north of the city.
Before dawn is always the darkest time,
At the same time, countless messengers sent messages to the inner and outer cities of Shendu, requesting various government guards and private soldiers to raise troops and obey the orders of the Second Marquis of Puding and Dongchuan to put an end to Yang Qingyuan's rebellion.
Not only that, Dongchuan Hou also sent several trustworthy officials to guard the other counties and counties in Gyeonggi and the four gates in Gyeonggi.
Soldiers from other counties in Gyeonggi Province and the guards at the four passes were ordered to immediately raise troops to serve the king.
The situation changed in just two hours.
The situation at night took a turn for the worse at the end of Yinshi. The two Marquises of Dongchuan and Puding set off a mighty wave of resistance and pounced on Yang Qingyuan with thunderous momentum.
If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Although Qin Yiyan is a veteran on the battlefield, the available troops are very limited and he can only resist the attack of Siwei Camp.
They were able to protect themselves in a short period of time, but they were no longer able to suppress the Imperial Guards in the north of the city. Under the coercion of the middle-level generals of the Changlin Army, most of the Imperial Guards had been controlled by the Second Marquises of Dongchuan and Puding.
"Ask Marquis Yang for help!"
Qin Yiyan was not the kind to save face. As soon as he realized that the situation was out of control, he immediately asked his soldiers to lead the Thunder Pigeon to rush out of the encirclement at night.
In the square outside the imperial city, the soldiers of Jinwu Guard and Yulin Guard who had surrendered gathered together, and the scene was slightly commotion.
Because Yaowu Camp, which had just defeated them like boiling water breaking through the ice, gathered again, and at the same time, the soldiers of Fenwu Camp also gathered.
Yang Qingyuan once again put on the black cloak. Now he is the only one who can suppress the rebellion with minimal losses.
Moreover, at this time, Wang Hua and Li Xunhuan had already arrived at Wuying Hall, and could take his place to stabilize the overall situation of the divine capital. The rest of the people were also arriving one after another.
At this time, riots began to occur in the twelve gates outside the city of God. Revenge for the emperor is a high-sounding reason. What those who started the riots really value are the beauties and wealth in the divine capital!
The battle is like a grate, this is not a joke, it is a reality.
Among them, Captain Mingdemen, the most courageous one, led his 2,000 troops to protect the city and rushed towards the capital. It was a lie to suppress the rebellion, but it was true to set up an army to plunder and rob the beautiful women and their wealth!
But their luck was obviously bad. When he led his army into the city to start looting, he met Yang Guo, General Piao Yao, who was leading 300 white battalion light cavalry to patrol the city and stabilize public order.
After Captain Mingdemen clearly saw the number of people on the other side, the fear in his heart disappeared.
In his understanding, fighting is like a street fight. Whoever has more people will win.
Now he has 2,000 city defense troops and less than 500 people on the opposite side. How can he lose? !
When the captain of Mingde Gate was reorganizing his army, Yang Guo pointed the tip of the red-as-jade gentian spear in his palm.
"Marquis Yang has an order. Anyone who dares to plunder will be subject to military law!"
Yang Hou's name obviously had an effect, and the captain of Mingde Gate began to gather the soldiers and horses that had just dispersed.
But it was not to abide by military discipline, but to defeat Yang Guo and his party.
"Brothers, kill all these people, and the gold, silver, treasures and beauties in the city of God will be at your disposal!"
There must be brave men under the heavy rewards. This city defense army is also in great momentum at this moment. Two thousand people are in formation, which is no joke.
The captain on the side saw this and asked Yang Guo in a low voice, "General, the bandit army is huge, do you want to send troops to suppress it?"
Yang Guo smiled contemptuously when he heard this, "A group of rabble can be considered powerful."
Yang Guo had experienced the Battle of Jinyang in which Yang Qingyuan used 30,000 cavalry to defeat 300,000 enemy troops. He immediately grabbed a gun, turned around and shouted: "Brothers, follow me into the battle today!"
The three hundred cavalrymen of the White Camp were all inspired by Yang Guo, and they responded to him with a voice rising into the sky: "Kill!!"
"Kill!" Three hundred elite soldiers from the White Camp shouted in unison.
As he followed Yang Guo into the city defense army, they were as fast as the wind and as aggressive as fire. This is the style of Tiance Army’s Tabai Camp.
Following Yang Hou and General Xiao Yang, they first defeated Bei Qian and then destroyed Hou Jin. When they traveled thousands of miles and conquered the world, did you have any training in the capital? !
The chickens and dogs are vulnerable! ——
At the same time, the Yaowu and Fenwu battalions, led by Yang Qingyuan, had approached the Royal Forest Army camp in the north of the city.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The sound of war drums sounded again.
Yang Qingyuan tightened his grip on the iron spear in his hand, and pointed the spear point directly at the two Marquises of Puding and Dongchuan in the enemy formation.
"kill!"
…
In the Wuying Hall of the Daming Palace, Wang Hua, Li Xunhuan and others were waiting for the news.
Even with Wang Hua's calmness, he was feeling extremely tormented at the moment, but all his anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and worries were restrained by him.
He is now in charge of the overall situation in the city of God. Anyone can mess up, but he can't mess up.
While everyone was waiting, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the palace.
"Good news!"
Before the messenger could enter the palace, everyone rushed out of the palace.
One in the south and one in the north, the two trusts arrived almost at the same time.
"Report! General Piao Yao led his troops to defeat the plundering soldiers and horses. He took the head of the Mingdemen captain and went around the city to warn the city. The situation in the city has been stabilized."
"Report! Yang Hou led Yaowu and Fenwu to defeat Siwei Camp, captured Dongchuan Hou Hu Bin alive, beheaded Puding Hou Chen Huan and passed the three armies. At this moment, they have subdued the main camp in the north of the city."
Outside Wuying Palace, joyous laughter suddenly erupted, and even Wang Hua, who was as calm as Wang Hua, gave him a high-five.
The overall situation in Shendu has been decided!
"Oh-oh!"
I don't know where the rooster crows suddenly came from. The sound was loud and resounded throughout the sky.
It's hard to see the sky in China during the long night, but when the rooster sings, the whole world becomes white.
——
The long night has passed and dawn has arrived.
In the first hexagram of the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes, it is auspicious to see a group of dragons without a leader.
After Yang Qingyuan raised troops to attack the Daming Palace and kill Zhu Zhankun, his plan went smoothly. According to his vision, the city of God gradually came under his control.
But his opponent is not a puppet and will not be at his mercy. Finally, before dawn, at the darkest moment, the enemy hidden in the dark night took action.
Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding, and Hu Bin, the Marquis of Dongchuan, seized the opportunity and struck hard, successfully provoking a riot in the Royal Forest Army camp north of Shendu. At the same time, he deceived the twelve gate guards of the divine capital to cause chaos.
In the capital of the gods, there was gradually an uproar.
However, Yang Qingyuan made a prompt decision and personally led his troops to defeat the rebellious Pu Ding and Dongchuan Second Marquises, and finally calmed down the turbulent waves caused by people before dawn.
In the capital of the gods, Zhu Zhankun's direct descendants and those who opposed Yang Qingyuan fell silent for the time being. It's not that the revolt last night consumed all their energy, but that they were secretly accumulating and brewing strength to fight back!
Yang Qingyuan is a famous general in the world, with the talents of Sun Wu, Han and Li. His past achievements, coupled with the death and capture of Dongchuan and Puding Marquis last night, have proved that if you want to deal with Yang Qingyuan militarily, you have to give people achievements.
Since the military is not good, let's deal with Yang Qingyuan politically.
The opportunity is today's court meeting.
There are more than a thousand officials, big and small, in various government offices in the divine capital.
Among them, there are only more than 300 court officials with permanent court qualifications. There are even fewer people with court qualifications. Basically: Zhugedian Grand Scholar, Dajiuqing - the six ministers and the censor of the Duchayuan, the minister of Dali Temple, the general affairs envoy, the six ministers, the Imperial Academy of Jijiu, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and the six subjects are all given to Shizhong , the governor of the Five Military Governor's Office, the magistrates, representatives of the royal family, the four founding kings, the princes of various countries, etc.
If Yang Qingyuan wants to help Thirteen ascend to the throne, he must let these people hold court promotions. Only then can he be justified. This cannot be done with just fists.
At this time, Wuying Palace had become the center of Yang Qingyuan's family after the mutiny.
In the Wuying Hall, Wang Hua was eating breakfast quickly while dealing with chores in the capital: army logistics, treatment of wounded soldiers, comfort of the people, deployment of personnel and materials, transmission of information, etc.
Liu Jibai, who was captured in an act with Wang Hua, has now gloriously become Wang Hua's errand boy.
Li Xunhuan looked at Liu Jibai who was busy working around and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that the big dandy from the capital of God would be standing among us!"
"Although he is uneducated and incompetent, his temperament is not strong enough, he is not good at martial arts, he also likes luxury, and he pretends to be powerful...but there is really no problem with brotherly loyalty. What's more important is that he has a very upright outlook on life and a kind nature."
(Liu Jibai: ..., it’s really hard for you to tell you my two advantages.)
Wang Hua then turned the topic to what happened next, "The test has just begun, but it shouldn't be too difficult from now on."
The most difficult mutiny has been overcome and the capital has stabilized. Yang Qingyuan holds the military power of 150,000 imperial guards. No one can shake his control over the capital. The next step is just a proof question.
It is not about choosing who will ascend the throne, but how to make King Wu ascend to the throne legitimately.
…
Zhongshan Palace.
The King of Zhongshan was the first of the four founding kings, and the old King of Zhongshan, Xu Tiande, was once the first person in the military. Although since his death from illness, the palace of Zhongshan Palace has been in decline.
But the four founding kings are the founding kings, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.
"Little sister, someone just came to persuade me not to attend today's court. Do you think I should go?"
While eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake, Xu Miaoyun yawned and said, "Brother, what kind of hatred does this person have against you?"
Xu Zhongshou was confused by Xu Miaoyun's question, "What kind of hatred?! He has some old friends with our Zhongshan Prince's Mansion."
"Oh?!" Xu Miaoyun said lazily, "That must be because he doesn't like our Zhongshan Palace secretly."
"..."
Brothers Xu Zhongshou and Xu Yingxu were stunned by their little sister's actions.
The IQs of both parties are completely different.
Seeing the two silly brothers staring at him eagerly, Xu Miaoyun said, "Since there is no hatred, why should I, the Prince of Zhongshan, miss this great opportunity?!"
"What a great opportunity?!" Xu Zhongshou and Xu Yingxu looked at each other, "But little sister, last night you said not to get involved in the coup!"
"..." Xu Miaoyun felt that although her two brothers were good at military strategy, they were really stupid in politics.
"I said, don't participate in the coup, but now the coup is over!"
Xu Miaoyun put down the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand, "Let me ask you two, if I give you 150,000 elite soldiers, can you defeat Yang Qingyuan who is currently holding the imperial army?"
Xu Zhongshou shook his head, "Can't beat him!"
Xu Yingxu on the side added, "Unless you give me another 150,000..."
"Um?!"
Xu Zhongshou and Xu Miaoyun both looked at Xu Yingxu blankly.
"Then I can't beat you..."
"..."
Xu Miaoyun spread her hands, "Then it's over. Now that the outcome has been determined, what are you waiting for!? If you support King Wu earlier, you can get more support!"
Under Xu Miaoyun's explanation, Erxu suddenly realized.
"Second brother! Hurry! Follow me into the palace!"
