Jinfangtai, Beijing, is where the Four Guards of Tengxiang are stationed.
At this moment, at the gate of the camp, two large flags were fluttering in the wind. One side of the flag was vaguely embroidered with a tiger head and the other side was embroidered with plain Chinese characters.
"Stop whoever comes!"
The guards at the gate of the camp looked at the hundreds of heavily armed troops and immediately shouted. Behind the horse piles, several soldiers holding firecrackers were on guard.
Fang Zhenghua glanced at it and took out the imperial edict: "We are His Majesty's long-term servants. We are here to deliver the edict on His Majesty's order. We quickly opened the camp gate and notified the four commanders and commanders and envoys to come and receive the edict."
After saying that, he threw the waist badge over. After one look, the guard handed the waist badge to Fang Zhenghua and asked someone to pull back the horse-rejecting stake and get out of the way.
This group of people were wearing official uniforms, so the possibility of impersonation was slim.
Moreover, this is the camp of the Four Guards of Tengxiang. There are more than 10,000 people. Can only two or three hundred people come to die?
After a while, in the tent of Tengxiang Four Guards, the commanders and commanders of Tengxiang Four Guards arrived.
"Eunuch Fang, why is it you?"
Meng Quanzhou, commander of Tengxiang's left guard, looked at Fang Zhenghua standing in the center with a hint of joy on his face.
Fang Zhenghua nodded, glanced at the people in the tent, and his face suddenly darkened: "Mr. Meng, where are the people from Wu Xiang's right guard?"
"Eunuch Fang, Mr. Zhou was in a meeting just now and will be back later."
As soon as Meng Quanzhou finished speaking, he heard the neighing of horses outside.
Fang Zhenghua rushed out of the tent first and saw hundreds of horsemen rushing towards the entrance of the camp.
"What are you doing, Lao Zhou? Is there a mission? Why haven't we been notified yet?"
Meng Quanzhou frowned, his eyes full of doubts.
After hearing this, Fang Zhenghua had a sneer on his face. He rushed up to the top of the tent and shouted: "Your Majesty has a decree. The command of Wu Xiang's right guard made Zhou Bin attach himself to the eunuchs, take bribes and pervert the law... He used the Jin Yiwei to break in." I'm here to send you to prison!"
"Meng Quanzhou, Yu Ming, and Wang Qi, quickly capture the rebellious Zhou Bin, and those who resist will be killed without mercy."
Looking at the bright yellow imperial edict held high in the right hand at the top of the tent, Meng Quanzhou and the others were stunned for a moment and then rushed out.
As he ran, he shouted: "Close the camp gate, and the armies will immediately arrest the rebellious Zhou Bin."
For a moment, the entire camp of Tengxiang Four Guards turned into a mess, and Fang Zhenghua frowned as he looked at it.
Lack of training and actual combat, such an unexpected situation led to such chaos. If they encountered foreign enemies, the group would have been wiped out by this time.
After watching for a while, Zhou Bin was surrounded by people.
Fang Zheng lowered his tent, mounted a horse, and walked up to the troops: "Zhou Bin, do you want to rebel?"
"Pooh!"
Zhou Bin immediately spat at Fang Zhenghua and said harshly: "Which of your eyes saw that I rebelled? I received an order from Governor Wei to intercept the white pole soldiers."
"Meng Quanzhou, ask your people to get out of the way and delay Governor Wei's order. Can you bear the consequences?"
"It's hard to say whether it was the order of Governor Wei, but now His Majesty wants to arrest you. We are His Majesty's own troops, so we naturally obey His Majesty's orders."
"Meng Quanzhou, get out of the way, otherwise don't blame the comrades we have had for so many years."
Zhou Bin shouted sharply: "Meng Quanzhou, don't be too naive. Although you have not taken refuge with Governor Wei in recent years, have you been greedy enough in recent years?"
"Brothers, the law of the Ming Dynasty has corrupted sixty-two people and will be killed without mercy. When the emperor cleans out the governor of Wei, will you still have a way to survive? Why don't you follow me and rush out of the camp? The world is huge. Find a county and become a rich man. Is it not good?"
Meng Quanzhou's face turned solemn: "Zhou Bin, do you think we, like you, follow the trend of others and harm Zhongliang?
We are the emperor's personal soldiers, and our duty is to protect His Majesty. Have you forgotten the original intention of our Tengxiang Four Guards?
Even though we have made some mistakes over the years, our original intention remains. Put down your weapons and don't force us to take action. "
"Hahaha, original intention? Can the original intention be used as food or money..."
Fang Zhenghua sneered: "If you are stubborn, kill me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from the Five City Patrol Division who had been prepared released their right hands, and hundreds of sharp arrows enveloped dozens of Zhou Bin's people.
Waves of arrows rained down one after another. Even though these were martial arts practitioners, they were all shot into sieves after receiving four or five waves of arrows.
"Mr. Meng, please cooperate with Jin Yiwei to do an inventory and see if there is anything missing!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Jin Yiwei came to report: "Eunuch Fang, everyone on the list is dead."
Fang Zhenghua nodded and looked at Meng Quanzhou and others: "Mr. Meng, before the new commander of Wu Xiang's right guard is appointed, you will temporarily serve as the commander of Wu Xiang's right guard. You must immediately make every effort to rectify Wu Xiang's right guard and put what happened just now Keep it to a minimum and be ready to be mobilized at any time.”
"Master Yu, you lead Teng Xiang's right guard to the inner camp to conduct siege but not attack. Wait for orders."
"Master Wang, you led Wu Xiang's left guard to divide the troops to go to Shangzhongsuo and Shanghousuo... but you only besieged but not attacked, waiting for orders."
After Fang Zhenghua finished speaking, he walked towards the outside of the tent. After only taking a few steps, he was stopped by Meng Quanzhou.
"Eunuch Fang, if you give me the right words, Your Majesty will..."
"Since Your Majesty has said that he will not go to war again, he will definitely not do it. You can rest assured of this."
Fang Zhenghua thought about it and lowered his voice: "I'll show you a way to survive. Your Majesty is short of money!"
Meng Quanzhou and others were stunned and looked at each other, and they all saw the other's disbelief.
"Also, the city has been put under martial law by the Five City Inspection Bureau and the Shuntian Prefecture. The gates inside and outside Beijing have been closed. No one will be allowed in or out without His Majesty's permission. You can take care of yourself."
Fang Zhenghua left, but these words echoed in the big tent.
What should be said and what should not be said has been said. As long as you are not stupid, this is the time to show your loyalty to His Majesty.
After a while, Yu Ming said in a deep voice: "Old Meng, are Eunuch Fang's words credible?"
Meng Quanzhou pondered for a moment: "It's credible. What your Majesty wants to clean up is the eunuch party. We haven't done anything bad in recent years, we are just a little greedy. After your majesty cleans out the eunuch party, there will definitely be a shortage of people.
In this case, the court will not clean up the country on a large scale. At most, we will be dismissed from our posts. Since Your Majesty is short of money, let's spit out the money that we have been greedy for over the years. "
"Spit it all out? Then..."
"Do you want to die or live? What will happen to your family if you die?"
Yu Ming and Wang Qi were silent. If they could survive, who would die?
Since Your Majesty dares to go to war in such a big way, it means that the news circulating in the city that the white-armed soldiers are approaching Beijing is true. This is where the confidence lies.
"Okay, let's put it aside for now. I'll go and appease Wu Xiang's right guard. You can lead your troops to the Jinyi Guards and the Nei Cao Army, and do it beautifully."
Everyone nodded, turned and left the tent.
A moment later, groups of sergeants rushed out from the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp and headed in all directions in the city.
At this moment, in the Yamen of the Ministry of War, the commanders of the 21st Guards gathered together. Li Banghua, who was sitting in the first seat, had a cold expression on his lips.
"I have no other reason to come to you. I just want to ask you who has taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian?"
