After daybreak, he ordered the people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to come out and suppress the ground.
As the day dawned, all the ghosts and monsters from yesterday disappeared, leaving only houses burned to ashes everywhere in the North City, and the commercial streets were still billowing with smoke.
However, the conflicts in some places have not stopped, and there are constant reports of attacks by unknown people in certain places. When the Jinyiwei troops pass by, the robbers will come out again and continue to rob.
The emperor paced back and forth in Xinuang Pavilion anxiously. Think about how to deal with this matter.
The Xungui Group and Donglin must not be allowed to completely fight. But before Shangshu was assassinated, before he could think about what to do, the sound of cannons came from Nanyuan.
Suddenly, he was so shocked that he dropped his bowl of tea to the ground, shattering it into pieces.
There has been a commotion in Nanyuan for some time. Xuanwu Army and Jingying have been fighting with each other recently. According to Jinyiwei's report, the Xuanwu Army was killed between five and six hundred people, and the Beijing camp suffered more than a hundred deaths. He is quite satisfied.
Jingying was reborn and reborn in the hands of Yang Fan and Zhang Shize.
The battle is over now. What he has to do is to completely eliminate Yang Fan's influence. The Beijing camp is his army and cannot allow anyone to have too much influence. The same goes for the newly established army Xuanwu Army.
Even the 20,000 people in the four towns must try their best to become an army that takes no one seriously except the emperor.
He originally planned to eliminate Yang Fan's influence on Jing Ying, Che Ying, etc. after all this trouble. Reorganize the troops from the Jingying Camp, the Xuanwu Army, and the general soldiers of the four towns, and add some new soldiers. Reorganize the Beijing camp.
He planned to restore the number to about 150,000. He also took the war horses that Yang Fan brought back to him from Mongolia and turned the Beijing camp into cavalry.
Xuanwu's army hid in the barracks, and there was nothing the Beijing camp could do. He believed that the Beijing camp would not attack the military camp. After all, this would be the same as rebellion. When the weather gets colder, let them suffer a little, and I will step in to blame the Ministry of War for their inaction. Then let the Department of Conservation allocate funds to expand the barracks.
In this way, all parties will be grateful, and their resentment will also resent each other. Or go to the Ministry of War to resent it. He, the emperor, is their savior.
After all, when Zhang Shize came to him, he issued an order to the Ministry of War to return the barracks to the Beijing camp.
However, it is not his fault that the Ministry of War delays and fails to do so. It is the people in the Ministry of War who do not care about the sufferings of the officers and soldiers.
After they have suffered a whole winter, and when they hear His Majesty's heavenly voice in despair, anger, and humiliation, the Emperor will gain the unfailing love of the whole army.
However, when he heard the sound of cannons, he knew that this matter was serious.
Zhang Shize really dared to fire cannons and attack the Xuanwu Army.
Think about it again, the chaos in the capital these days. He suddenly understood that this was the collective will of the distinguished group. It is not Zhang Shize's personal behavior.
He panicked and felt out of control.
Now he was in a situation where he had no troops available.
First of all, with the current situation in Beijing Camp, he didn't dare to give orders at all.
He had better hide behind so as not to be passive. If he comes forward, he will bring conflicts to himself.
Even a fool knows the fighting power of the Beijing Camp, and the Xuanwu Army will probably be defeated in a short time. The 20,000 people in the four towns were probably frightened and they did not dare to get involved in these things. Now I am acting like a turtle.
After noon, worse news came. The Xuanwu Army collapsed under the bombardment of the Beijing camp's artillery. Escaped from the Nanyuan military camp. Entered Nancheng from Yongding Gate.
The defenders of Yongding Gate did not react at all. They were scattered by the defeated troops.
The quota of Yongdingmen garrison is 200, but now there is no full army, only 80 or 90 people. There I leaned against the wall, basking in the sun leisurely. By the way, in the name of inspection, they blackmailed some common people who came in and out of the city gate.
After the rebels entered the city, they found that Nancheng was in chaos, and many people were robbing shops on Liangguang Road.
These rebels lost their organization and order. With no officers watching, they were immediately inspired to rob.
They were all frontier soldiers, and they often deserted to do business without capital. The border troops were often in arrears for one or two years, so they also had to support them.
Home is not.
These people were originally ill-disciplined in the military, but now they have such a good thing, and they are still defeated. Isn't this exactly what a defeated army should do?
As a result, the defeated soldiers in Nancheng joined the ranks of robbery.
As for who to rob, of course, whoever has the money will be shot.
There are many poor people in Nancheng, but there are also many officials. Soon these families who owned decent properties were robbed by the rout. Stores are the hardest hit areas.
Based on past experience after collapse, they probably had to get some money and run away. The soldiers in the camp are all recruiting soldiers, and they are soldiers just for money. If you make a big fortune, who will still be here and work hard as a soldier.
Therefore, any opportunity to make a fortune cannot be given up. If you don't do it if you have money, you're a bastard.
After more than 10,000 defeated troops poured into the South City, the gates of the North City were immediately closed. And all nine doors are closed. For a time, people in the entire capital were panicked.
Chongzhen was so angry that he even considered killing Dong Jishu.
He looked at Dong Jishu, who was kneeling in front of him, trembling and accusing Zhang Shize, with a gloomy expression and said nothing.
This idiot has messed up everything on his own. Still have the nerve to complain.
He also wanted to take action against Zhang Shize.
After the Jingying recaptured the barracks, they did not pursue them at all. After they were driven out, they defeated themselves and fled into Nancheng to cause trouble.
Zhang Shize is now taking stock of the warehouse and checking the losses. At the same time, people were arranged to repair the south wall that was riddled with holes.
Repairing is also easy, just replace it with new green bricks and build them with cement mortar. Then re-cement it. Repaint it with white ash and it won't be noticeable at all.
Jingying’s anger had been building up for a long time. After returning from the victorious battle, the emperor, the Sixth Ministry, and the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief had no explanation at all. The campground was also occupied. Don't talk about promotions and rewards until they come. Even the disabled veterans didn't have an explanation.
Fortunately, the commander-in-chief gave everyone money before the class, and the salary arrears over the years were also paid in one go. The rewards they gained were also fulfilled at that time.
Each of them, even the cooks who have no credit, have an income of more than two hundred taels.
They were also very stupid and deposited money into Xinghe Bank, which was with the army, and opened a registered deposit business. I came back with my deposit certificate and some scraps of money. Anyway, the army takes care of food and housing, so you don't have to spend any money yourself.
Originally, they planned to pursue them, catch these bastards, and punish them. During this period of time, these grandsons were insulting and provoking all kinds of things, and everyone's anger was simmering down.
But Zhang Shize stopped them. After all, they are the Ming Dynasty's army. If they are at war with each other, it is really the same as rebellion.
So, the people in Jingying cursed and started cleaning.
These pigs live in a good camp in Jingying like a pig pen. The septic tank in the toilet was full and almost overflowing, but they didn't even bother to dig it out. There is garbage on the road, and the smell of urine and feces is behind the house.
These lazy idiots, can't they just take a few more steps to go to the public restroom after getting up at night?
The grass is not cut, and weeds grow wildly. It looks like a chicken coop, how beautifully the lawn used to be mowed.
Especially the room was full of stench, the smell of smelly feet plus body odor, the smell of eating in the dormitory for a long time, and the unspeakable smell, mixed together, made them vomit.
And there are bedbugs and cockroaches everywhere.
Even the good bedding was ruined by them. These beddings are all dark and shiny. A crust formed. Both ends smell like feet.
Don't these dirty pigs take a bath? Don’t they wash their feet before going to bed at night? Don’t they wash their clothes and socks in the laundry room?
After asking people in the boiler room, they found out that in order to save money, Dong Jishu and the others resold all the coal. The boiler room was basically shut down. If the boiler wasn't too big and couldn't be removed, they were going to dismantle the boiler and sell it for scrap metal.
Most of the kitchen equipment, stainless steel kitchenware, stainless steel tableware, basins, etc. were sold.
Most of the materials in the warehouse were sold into the black market by Dong Jishu, Zuo Liangyu and others. After all, these things are very easy to get rid of.
. A large amount of cloth was sold, which was not used to make new clothes for their soldiers.
These people all wore mandarin duck jackets that had not been washed for more than ten years. They never washed their feet, and they washed their faces only once every few days. It’s not surprising that a good barracks is like this.
The officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp are accustomed to clean and tidy barracks and good military appearance and discipline. Although the conditions during the Western Expedition were not as good as those in the military camp, they all developed good hygiene habits. Also try to stay clean during the fight.
So they cleared the barracks. Move out the bedding and all supplies used by Xuanwu Army and throw them away. Burn the sulfur and throw it into the house, sealing the doors and windows to kill cockroaches and other pests.
Zhang Shize watched as the piles of black bedding were set on fire, creating a raging fire.
There was also a lot of various things being thrown out. I finally felt a little relieved.
Many businessmen heard that Jingying had returned to their barracks and immediately came to do business. They are old connections in Jingying. In the past, I purchased large quantities of things and the prices were good, and I never defaulted on my purchases.
But since the Beijing camp left, Marshal Dong's army stationed in Nanyuan also asked them to supply supplies. However, they never pay the bill. Today is postponed to tomorrow, and tomorrow is postponed to the day after tomorrow. Later, they did not dare to continue supplying goods.
Now that I heard that Jingying is back, everyone came here quickly. This is a big customer. If you are late and someone else takes it away, you will suffer a big loss.
Shopkeeper Hu had a flattering smile on his face, and the wrinkles on his face were shining. He walked up to Zhang Shize and said, "Commander, look at all the things you are throwing out, why not let me buy them. What you don't like, there are still many people who are willing to take it."
Jingying threw these things out, mainly because they disliked Xuanwu Army for using them and felt disgusting.
But these stainless steel pots and pans can fetch a lot of money. Many people like these products that will not rust, are durable, and look shiny with silver.
Zhang Shize was impatient to do this and said to Zhang Cheng: "You and shopkeeper Hu can make a plan and sell it if he is willing to take it. Get some money back and replenish the things and supplies that need to be filled."
Shopkeeper Hu looked at the raging fire and felt a pity that he was late. These losers from Jingying burned even such good bedding. What a pity.
I bought it back, took it apart, took out the cotton, flicked it, and exposed it to the sun to remove the odor.
The quilt cover cloth can also be used if it is washed. No damage.
In the clothing stores in the city, clothes of dead people are collected, and they are not sold in the same way after being washed.
This group of young soldiers burned them all just because they were afraid of infectious diseases. What a disaster.
"Commander, there is a situation in the capital. It seems that Dong Jishu's troops retreated to Nancheng. Now there is smoke everywhere in Nancheng. It may be that the defeated troops are looting the people. Do we need to stop them?" A general came to report.
"This matter is not our business. We are just taking back our own barracks and don't interfere with other matters." Naturally, Mr. Zhang will not meddle in other matters. Besides, if you lead troops to Beijing, are you going to rebel?
As for the armed fights between the two armies in Nanyuan, they all took place within the walls of the large barracks in Nanyuan. This was an internal matter of the army. If the Beijing camp leaves the station, things will be big.
At this time, in Xinuan Pavilion, Dong Jishu no longer dared to say anything because the emperor never spoke. Just sit in silence.
At this time, Luo Yangxing came in. He saw that the atmosphere was not right and did not dare to speak. Standing honestly outside the threshold of Xinuang Pavilion.
Chongzhen sighed, knowing that only bad news would come at this time.
"Tell me, what's going on now."
Luo Yangxing glanced at Dong Jishu who was kneeling on the ground and said: "After the defeat of the Xuanwu Army, General Dong did not gather his troops, but ran to the Qianqing Palace. The defeated soldiers opened the Yongding Gate, and more than 10,000 people poured into Nancheng. , are looting. There are rioters everywhere in Nancheng now, and there is smoke everywhere."
Dong Jishu was so frightened that he didn't know that his defeated troops had entered Nancheng. I thought they just escaped.
"Hurry up and close the Nine Cities. Don't let the rebels enter the North City." Chongzhen stood up and shouted loudly.
Luo Yangxing lowered his head and looked at his toes. He knew that the emperor was on the verge of going berserk. He must not say the wrong thing, otherwise he would easily draw his anger onto himself.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The inner city defenders immediately closed all the city gates. The rebels couldn't get in." After saying that, he looked at his toes, lowered his head, and said nothing.
Chongzhen breathed a sigh of relief, but a burst of anxiety surged into his heart.
What should we do now. Ji Town is ruined. There are no soldiers around to adjust.
Now he doesn't dare to trust Jingying. Who knows what the situation in Jingying is now. Are they rebelling, or are they just targeting the Xuanwu Army?
They already have conflicts. What if they are sent into the city and the two sides fight in Nancheng?
And now, he found that he was in big trouble.
He completely lost control of his army.
Fortunately, Beicheng can still hold back now. Otherwise, the entire capital city will be in danger. Now the nobles and Donglin are still in conflict, but this conflict is nothing compared to the rebels in Nancheng.
At this time, Donglin obviously couldn't control the situation, and neither did the nobles. They were in a fierce conflict. How can we stabilize and control the situation? Chongzhen had a headache.
"Master Sun, please come. Just say that I have something to ask."
Luo Yangxing was shocked. He didn't expect that Emperor Sun would still value him so much in the emperor's heart even though he had changed his dynasty. In such an emergency, whoever the emperor consults for discussion can tell who is important to the emperor's heart.
He made up his mind that he would never offend the former imperial master in the future.
Since he returned to Beijing last year, His Majesty has frequently sought his advice in private. There are rumors outside that Emperor Sun will not serve as the foreign minister of the Tianqi Dynasty, but will become the internal minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty.
Sun Chengzong came soon. After Sun Chengzong returned to Beijing this time, he has been guiding work in the Hanlin Academy. Not far away.
He knows what is happening now, and he is not surprised that the emperor is looking for him.
Chongzhen told Dong Jishu to get out and talked secretly with Sun Chengzong for half an hour. After coming out, he asked Wang Chengen to draft an order and immediately summoned Uncle Yuan and later governor Yang Fan back to the capital.
Luo Yangxing thought, as expected, there is no more suitable candidate than Yang Fan at this moment.
He can suppress the Beijing camp and the general soldiers of the four towns. He can control at least half of the Xuanwu Army.
When Yang Fan came back, the incident disappeared.
