"Wei Zhongxian wanted to atone for his crimes, but failed to persuade Tu Wenfu to surrender, and was killed by the furious Tu Wenfu."
Listening to Zhang Weixian's words, Zhang Zhiji was stunned for a moment, and then thought deeply.
Wei Zhongxian was the admiral of Dongchang and killed many loyal generals. Dongchang and Jinyiwei under his leadership made countless ministers uneasy.
With him here, it's like a knife hanging over the officials' heads, and it can fall down at any time.
This kind of person must not be allowed to stay, not only to avenge the unjust death of loyalty, but also to leave a way for himself.
Although after killing Wei Zhongxian, His Majesty will appoint a new admiral of Dongchang, but people are different, and it is basically impossible to create someone like Wei Zhongxian.
"The remnants of the Nei Cao Army are stubborn, kill them!"
Zhang Weixian did not answer Zhang, but waved his right hand, and the flag signal started.
boom!
boom!
Several roars sounded, and solid bullets and tens of thousands of enemies fell into the inner camp.
In a short time, the tents in the camp were shattered and the war horses neighed.
The officers and soldiers of the Nei Cao Army who had just surrendered looked at this scene and were trembling all over. They were secretly glad that they had surrendered, otherwise their bodies would have been left intact.
"attack!"
After giving the order again, a thousand pikemen rushed in in formation.
After a while, the pikemen withdrew.
"Commander, there is no one left alive in the camp."
"Extremely, take people to count again, cut off the heads of Wei Zhongxian and Tu Wenfu, and my father will go to see His Majesty. Then we will meet these 6,000 people for separate trials, let them report Wei Zhongxian's accomplices to each other, and then..."
Zhang Weixian didn't finish what he said, but Zhang Zhiji understood it.
Cutting off the roots.
An hour later, Zhang Weixian entered Beijing alone, went straight to Dongnuang Pavilion, and reported the specific situation.
"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian was captured by the minister in the Chinese army's tent. Most of the internal troops surrendered. Only Tu Wenfu resisted tenaciously.
Wei Zhongxian said that he wanted to persuade Tu Wenfu to surrender. Who knew that after entering the camp, he joined forces with Tu Wenfu to resist tenaciously?
The minister had no choice but to order the bombardment. During the bombardment, Wei Zhongxian, Tu Wenfu and the die-hard elements were all killed. The minister had already verified his true identity, and the minister had brought their heads. "
Chongzhen was quite satisfied at first, but when he finally heard that Wei Zhongxian was dead, his face became a little ugly.
There must be something fishy about how Wei Zhongxian died.
If he sends someone to investigate, it will definitely be the same as what Zhang Weixian said.
Originally, he wanted to spare Wei Zhongxian's life and let him supervise all officials, but he died anyway.
Historically, Wei Zhongxian hanged himself from a beam in a hotel in Nanguan, Funan County, on the sixth day of November in the seventh year of the Apocalypse. Today is also the sixth day of November, and he was bombarded to death by a Hongyi cannon.
After going round and round, I didn't expect that he would still die. It's the reincarnation of history.
Chongzhen waved his hand: "If you die, just die. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. British."
"By the way, Qin Liangyu will go to Beijing tomorrow. What kind of reward do you think I should give her?"
Faced with Chongzhen's inquiry, the British Duke was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I dare not make rash comments!"
"Don't dare? Or don't want to?"
"Your Majesty, it is the emperor's power to reward ministers. I ask your Majesty to act decisively!"
Chongzhen secretly cursed the old fox.
He knew very well what Zhang Weixian had in mind. If Zhang Weixian's suggestions were too low and he would be unhappy, if Zhang Weixian's suggestions were too high and it would easily make him unhappy, he would simply not give any suggestions.
"Okay, go and do your work. Prepare the things to reward the white-poled soldiers. I will use them tomorrow."
"Also, tomorrow, you will bring the generals of the Beijing Army to watch the ceremony!"
After Zhang Weixian left, Chongzhen paced slowly in Dongnuan Pavilion. After a long time, he said: "Fang Zhenghua, send someone to Nanjing and ask Cao Huachun to return to Beijing quickly."
Wang Chengen and Fang Zhenghua were shocked.
At this time, Cao Huachun was called back, no doubt to serve as the admiral of the East Factory. He was the second-ranking eunuch after the eunuch in charge of the ceremony.
The function of Dongchang is to investigate plots against evil spirits, treason and evil, and to supervise all officials. This can only be done by eunuchs who are attached to the imperial power.
If a civil servant is allowed to serve, it means that he will write out the test papers and take the exam himself, and the meaning of supervision will be lost.
After the arrangements were made, Chongzhen sat behind the dragon table and began to think about how to reward Qin Liangyu and the white pole soldiers.
In this battle to seize power and pacify party strife, it seems that the white-armed soldiers did not participate in the actual operation, but their role was huge.
This is just like the nuclear weapons of later generations. The meanings of not having them and not using them have completely different meanings.
Without white soldiers, the British prince Zhang Weixian would not be able to show his favor to him. The 10,000 troops would be a time bomb. If Wei Zhongxian could not be mobilized, he would not be able to calmly deal with the others.
The significance of shock is far greater than the significance of actual combat.
After thinking about it, Chongzhen took a blank imperial edict and started writing it.
After finishing writing, I thought for a while and wrote two more words in a row, which stunned Wang Chengen who was waiting on the side.
"Your Majesty, you have been busy all day. Please take a rest for a while. If anything happens, I will wake you up."
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, Wang Chengen stepped forward and said something.
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as Chongzhen was mentioned, he felt extremely sleepy, and immediately said: "Okay, I'll sleep for a while."
"Oh, by the way, give some stoves and quilts to the ministers in Huangji Palace, don't let them freeze to death."
After saying that, he fell down on the soft floor and fell into a deep sleep.
Dongnuan Pavilion became quiet, and the city of Beijing, which had been busy for a day, also became quiet. Beijing, a city with millions of residents, was as quiet as a dead city.
Only the night patrolmen holding torches can show the majesty of this ancient city.
Chongzhen slept until the Maozheng moment and woke up feeling refreshed. It was the most peaceful sleep he had had in more than a month.
"Your Majesty, news of the White Guards came at Yinzheng time in the morning. The army has already set out and arrived outside Beijing at Sizheng time."
"good!"
Chongzhen was very happy: "Send an order to Li Banghua. When Qin Liangyu's white-pole soldiers arrive outside the city, open the Zhengyang Gate, and send an order to Qin Liangyu to let them enter the city directly to Chengtianmen (now Tiananmen). I will personally reward them. .”
Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I have been looking forward to it for more than a month, and finally the most capable army of the Ming Dynasty has arrived.
Although this army was infantry drawn up by local farmers, its combat power was so strong that even the cavalry of the Jiannu slaves had a headache when they encountered it.
The infantry can hit the cavalry head-on and push the cavalry back. Apart from the Qi family army during Jiajing, this is the only white-pole soldier.
After the White Guards have been stationed in the capital for half a year, he will be able to completely reorganize and control the Tengxiang Four Guards, the Warrior Battalion, and the 21st Guards. By then, there will be hundreds of thousands of troops, and any force in the Ming Dynasty will have to surrender obediently.
Otherwise, show them what it means: those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
"My companion, change my armor for me!"
After getting excited, Chongzhen gave Wang Chengen instructions.
A quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen put on the armor belonging to the emperor.
It was so gorgeous. Feeling the coldness on the armor, Chongzhen's heart was filled with pride. Which man could resist such a set of armor.
But to be honest, it’s so damn heavy.
Another half an hour later, Chongzhen arrived outside the Zhengyang Gate. Looking at the soldiers who were as straight as green pines and the chilling atmosphere, goosebumps instantly appeared on his skin.
He finally met the most capable woman in Ming Dynasty.
"I, Shi Zhu, are the envoy of Xuanwei. Qin Liangyu leads the white pole soldiers to see your majesty. Long live our emperor!"
