Inside and outside Beijing, each of the three camps has a government office and a school ground. The large campus in the northern suburbs is where the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are now training.
To the south, the original "small school field" outside Xuanwu Gate has now been enlarged, and the generals of the 3,000 battalion are training there.
The newly opened area outside Chongwen Gate is where the Fifth Military Camp is located.
Now, it is called fifty thousand people, but it is actually more.
The old system of three battalions, the Shenji Battalion is the firearms unit, the Three Thousand Battalion is the elite cavalry, and the Fifth Army Battalion is the main force for infantry warfare.
The actual number of people in the fifth military camp accounted for nearly half of the Beijing camp.
For example, the Three Thousand Battalion was initially just three thousand elite cavalry. No matter how the number of people is expanded now, it will not be possible to quickly form a cavalry force of over 10,000.
The most powerful one at present is naturally the Shenji Battalion. Not only does its establishment far exceed that of the previous dynasty, but it was also the first to be reset.
The reason why there are so many people in the Fifth Military Camp is because no matter how many people were laid off and arbitrarily destroyed before, there will still be a lot of favors and benefits.
The current number of soldiers in the 150,000-strong Beijing Camp may be barely over 100,000.
The remaining history of the original Beijing Camp was basically placed in the Fifth Army Camp. Because of this, it seems that the relatives are now united more around Zhang Wei rather than Wu Dinghou - there are really all the people in his Shenji Camp. It's the soldier who used to be miserable.
Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo led twelve Jinyi captains into the admiral's tent in the fifth military camp.
Zhang Wei stared at Zhang Yong, stood up and saluted him: "Governor, I am convening the generals to discuss matters. I did not come far to greet him. Please forgive me."
Zhang Yong is now the eunuch in charge of the Beijing camp. During non-war times, he supervises the military commanders in the Beijing camp on behalf of the emperor.
I looked at the generals of each army under the five military camps. Under each general, there are horse and troop commanders, plus some generals and deputy generals.
With so many people looking at Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo, their expressions were obviously quite nervous.
Zhang Yong nodded without saying much: "Uncle Hui'an and Zhang Wei listen!"
Just now, Zhang Wei was still saying that Zhang Yong would have an oral message after he arrived, but now he saw that Zhang Yong actually took out a copy of the Minghuang Imperial Edict.
There was a decree, but Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is it the only governor who listens to the decree?"
Zhang Yong smiled: "It's better for Hui Anbo to listen to this decree alone."
Zhang Wei didn't answer.
The atmosphere in the tent suddenly became tense. Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Yong.
I heard that when he went to Shaanxi, he directly killed the Ganzhou military officer with a knife and then spread the news to Jiubian. Now in the name of the imperial edict, he is sending the others away first. Is he so bold that he is not afraid of a mutiny in the fifth military camp?
"...Since there is no order, then this is how I will obey the order. I will govern the army and treat the soldiers with sincerity!" Zhang Wei gritted his teeth, then went to the center of the tent and knelt down on one knee facing north, "I will obey the order." , ask the Holy Ann?"
"Holy greetings." Zhang Yong said calmly, glanced at him and then unfolded the imperial edict, "The Emperor Chengyun, the emperor, said: After investigation, Li Xiang's widow actually came from the outer chamber of Zhang Wei, the uncle of Hui'an, and ordered Zhang Yong to ask questions .Zhang Wei, I hope you will answer truthfully to clear up my doubts."
After reading it, he turned the imperial edict over so that Zhang Wei could see clearly the seal on the edict to confirm that it was a true edict.
After Zhang Wei read it, he could only look at Zhang Yong first, and then reached out to receive the decree: "I know everything I know, and I will tell you everything!"
"Uncle Hui'an, please rise. I will now ask questions on behalf of Your Majesty."
Zhang Yong faced him face to face, and after Zhang Wei stood up, he spoke: "I ask you, Li Xiang's widow Zheng, is your Zhang Wei's biological daughter."
Zhang Wei was silent for a moment and replied loudly: "Yes!"
Zhang Yong looked into his eyes again and continued to ask: "Let me ask you again, Li Xiang committed suicide under Dengwen's drum. Did you know before that he wanted to impeach Mr. Yang Ge?"
Looking into each other's eyes, Zhang Wei couldn't tell what Zhang Yong was thinking.
But after a slight pause, he still replied: "I know!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other generals in the five military camps in the tent looked even more uneasy.
"My third question is, before the imperial meeting on the first lunar month, the guards who were on night duty neglected their duties and failed to stop Li Xiang. Did you say hello to them?"
"No!"
Zhang Yong didn't take it seriously and asked the next question: "Since Li Xiang is your son-in-law, and since you knew that he wanted to impeach Mr. Yang Ge, why didn't you dissuade him for the sake of your daughter?"
Zhang Wei didn't speak, so Zhang Yong waited.
As a father, why do you know this in advance and still have the heart to let your daughter become a widow and your grandson to have no biological father?
"Hui Anbo?" Zhang Yong urged.
Zhang Wei stared at him: "If I answer truthfully, may your Majesty hear it?"
Zhang Yong narrowed his eyes: "I came here to inquire on behalf of Your Majesty, and I will give you a truthful reply."
Zhang Wei was silent for another moment and said decisively: "Unless I can meet the Holy Spirit, I cannot answer the reason for this! I have not concealed anything from the previous questions, which proves my open heart!"
"Uncle Hui'an can't trust our family?" Zhang Yong looked at Wang Zuo with a smile, "The governor of Beizhen is also here, what is Uncle Hui'an worried about?"
Wang Zuo looked at Zhang Wei, Zhangwu Bo Yang Zhi and others also looked at Zhang Yong and the others nervously.
The previous questions undoubtedly want Zhang Wei to admit that he is the mastermind behind the scenes. It is impossible for Zhang Wei to admit that he can still persuade the guards on duty. That would be a taboo. But why did he admit that he knew in advance that Li Xiang wanted to be executed?
"The Governor wants to make me trust the Governor, so I wonder what your Majesty is going to do with me after he orders the Governor to question me?"
Zhang Wei asked back, his eyes sharp, and he made it clear that he could not trust Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo.
Zhang Yong glanced at Wang Zuo and saw that he still didn't care, so he said quietly: "If Uncle Hui'an is indeed involved in this case, he should go with the governor."
Where is Beizhen Fusi? Zhang Wei seemed to laugh angrily: "I have no regrets in my heart, and I am not afraid to go with Wang Zhenfu! It's just that I am loyal, and I don't believe that this is His Majesty's will! Lord Governor, Your Majesty will treat you well." , why are you perverting your will and helping the tyrants do evil?"
Zhang Yong sighed: "Is the imperial edict in Uncle Hui'an's hand a fake?"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the fifth military camp, and I am listed in the honor roll! If your majesty has any doubts about such a major matter, why not declare that I will be honored?"
"Uncle Hui An, are you going to accompany our family to the palace to meet the saint?"
Zhang Wei was suddenly choked.
This shiny trick reminded him of Jiang Bin at that time. It was also because he entered the palace to mourn and was arrested.
Zhang Yong looked at his reaction and said in a solemn tone: "My family and Wang Zhenfu came here lightly, but Hui Anbo didn't believe it. There was an imperial edict, and Hui Anbo didn't believe it either."
"'I order you to take charge of the trial implementation of the new law in Guangdong. If the honorable relatives you have requested violate the law, the three law divisions can first determine the punishment and then submit it to me for judgment. I told the world that five years before Jiajing, the other provinces will wait and see its effect. If Someone used ingenuity to thwart it, and those who find out the real evidence will be regarded as treason! In the first year of Jiajing, His Majesty had a clear purpose when he assassinated the unofficial son of Guangdong! Now that Hui'an Bo is involved in Li Xiang's matter, did the Sanfa Division find out first? Why did His Majesty order our family to come for questioning? Uncle Hui'an, is there anything in our family's actions today that is not clear? Do you really not believe it, or do you not want to believe it?"
When Zhang Wei heard him repeat his decree at that time, there were only four words in his mind: treat it as treason!
He was shocked and angry: "If you want to accuse me, why bother? I am loyal, how can I have any objections?"
Zhang Yong looked at him: "Let us ask the last words on behalf of His Majesty: Zhang Wei, I ask you, do you agree with the new law?"
I knew in advance that Li Xiang was going to be imprisoned but didn't stop him. Do I need to ask this question?
But to say a thousand words and ten thousand words, this sentence is the foundation now.
The smart ones have already seen through this drama in the court. But no matter whether you are smart or confused, as long as your interests conflict with it, you will always reject the new law in your thinking and cognition.
The smart ones know that this is a trap, while the confused ones are more inclined to believe that Yang Tinghe has hijacked the emperor.
But there were golden words from the emperor. Five years before Jiajing, His Majesty had already ordered: The world must not obstruct the new law.
Now, facing this direct question, Zhang Wei felt sweat dripping from the back of his head and was struggling in his heart.
Yang Zhi was afraid and wanted to persuade: "Brother Zhang..."
However, Zhang Wei's blood suddenly surged, and he drew his knife fiercely and said sternly: "You must say it is a new law! Zhang Yong, you are the emperor's servant, and you are supposed to help His Majesty abide by the old rules! Your Majesty's loyal ministers are here, how can you allow you to wreak havoc! Come on! ah!"
Zhang Yong suddenly changed his color, Zhang Wei was really so courageous.
Even after talking about this, he still can't turn around. I'm afraid he really hates the new law, and I don't know how many interests are involved behind it.
Looking at the soldiers pouring into the tent, it was clear that Zhang Wei had made deliberate preparations.
The twelve gilded captains brought by Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo immediately surrounded them. Zhang Wei held up the imperial decree: "According to the decree, we will arrest those who rebel against the party and enter the city to hoe traitors!"
Before, Yang Zhi and others understood clearly what the imperial edict said, but now Zhang Wei was blatantly correcting the edict.
Zhang Wei was already looking at Yang Zhi and the others with stern eyes, a fierce look on his face.
In this situation, it seems that a decision must be made. If you don't follow Zhang Wei, you might be hacked to death here.
Who are the people standing behind Zhang Wei and giving him such confidence?
Zhang Yong knew that there were some people in the Fifth Army Camp who had been buried by His Majesty a long time ago. He was worried that Zhang Wei would be bold enough to fall out on the spot.
Now, Zhang Yong could only look at Wang Zuo: It's like this, how will it end?
He, the admiral eunuch, has too much power, and Zhang Yongyong doesn't know some things, which he can understand.
Wang Zuo, however, only looked at Uncle Zhangwu, Yang Zhi and the others, and spoke for the first time after coming in: "Zhang Wei is trying to rebel, are you going to join the rebellion or capture the traitor?"
Zhang Wei's eyes flashed fiercely when he heard this.
The people ambushing here are all his soldiers, what kind of trouble can Yang Zhi and the others make.
Although Zhang Wei's personal soldiers heard what Wang Zuo said, their expressions still didn't change much and they faced each other with swords.
"Yang Zhi, success or failure depends on this! You all said well just now that you will be loyal to the emperor and serve the country together. Are you going to regret it now?"
Yang Zhi's expression changed after hearing this. Based on these words, Zhang Yong and the others would not be able to enjoy Yang Zhi's good fruits after they return, not to mention the steel swords of Zhang Wei's personal soldiers.
Hearing this, he drew out his sword in awe and said: "Be loyal to the king and serve the country at this time!"
Zhang Yong's heart sank. Could it be that Wang Zuo's preparation was based on the hope that some timid people in the fifth army camp would not dare to rebel?
Wang Zuo sighed: "Those who love you hate your enemies quickly. Zhang Wei, you were so coaxed by Shen Wenzhou that you forgot that your Hui'an residence is still in the city?"
Zhang Wei's face changed, and then he became even more angry: "Traitor! Even if everyone in my house is loyal, we will still fight for His Majesty!"
"Yes, since you have a concubine, how can you not have a concubine?" Wang Zuo's expression remained unchanged, "But Uncle Zhangwu, you must think carefully. Since we dare to come with only twelve people, How could we not be prepared here? Zhang Wei, you can't enter Beijing City."
"The matter has come to this, no need to say more!" Zhang Wei said ferociously, "Want to delay time? Let me, the general, capture these two people first, and kill the rest without mercy!"
Just as his soldiers were about to surround and kill the fourteen people, Wang Zuo shouted: "Where are Tang Xianzhong and Deng Jiye!"
Outside the admiral's tent of the five military camps, two loud roars rang out at this moment: "The general has ordered us to lead his troops to come for reinforcements!"
"Please give the governor an order!"
"Please give the governor an order!"
Listening to the thundering roars that surrounded the circle outside, Zhang Wei, Yang Zhi and others suddenly looked at Zhang Yong and the others with dramatic changes in their expressions.
Is this called bringing only twelve people?
Tang Xianzhong, Deng Jiye... Zhang Wei also recalled it, and vaguely remembered that they seemed to be just low-level generals under the First Battalion of Soldiers and the Third Battalion of Chariot Soldiers, a sentry officer and a general.
The sentry officer only led a hundred people, and the total number was 500.
But the problem now is the word "by decree".
Is there another edict, without the admiral of the fifth military camp?
Zhang Yong looked at Zhang Wei: "Your troops are surrounding us. How many soldiers from the Fifth Army Camp are surrounding you? Uncle Hui'an, our family still says the same thing. If you want to express your love to the emperor, just follow our family into the palace."
The step seemed to be given to Zhang Wei, but Zhang Wei shouted with a stubborn temper: "Your Majesty dares to threaten you, so why is it difficult for the Ministry of War to issue another transfer order to you and other rebels? This governor is the admiral of the fifth military camp! Tang Shaozong and Deng Jikun, Are you going to rebel?"
Because of the changes outside, Zhang Wei's soldiers inside the tent were nervous and hesitant after all, and resumed the confrontation.
Wang Zuo smiled and said: "Tang Xianzhong, after Tang Dingchen, the king of Xiangwu in Dongou. Deng Jiye, after Deng Boyan, the king of Wushun in Ninghe. Both of them were promoted by your majesty to the Tang family and the Deng family, the hereditary commanders of Nanjing Jinyiwei. Hui Anbo still thought that these were all Are you saying that you are against the party and can cover up the sky with one hand?"
The names of Tang He and Deng Yu still work.
Zhang Wei and others naturally know the descendants of these two families. Today, in the Tang and Deng families, only the heads of the Tang family, Tang Shaozong and Deng Jikun, receive a salary as the hereditary commander of the Nanjing Jinyi Guards, but they actually do not have any errands and have long been forgotten in the circle of honorable ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
If it were Tang Shaozong and Deng Jikun themselves, what else would they realize. But what about Tang Xianzhong and Deng Jiye...why is it that their origins are not stated in the volume, only that they were recruited as guards from Nanjing?
The sword has been unsheathed, and Zhang Wei is unable to dismount from the tiger.
He was about to capture Zhang Yong and Wang Zuo first, but Wang Zuo drew his sword and said coldly: "Governor, Hui'an Bo Zhang Wei led his people to pervert the decree and rebel, and refuse to repent. Give the order!"
Zhang Yong looked at the powerful tiger-leopard figures of the twelve men in front of him, and knew that this was a real expert brought out by Wang Zuo from Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, and he only had to hold on for a moment.
In person, Jian has always declared the decree, and it is nothing more than to punish without teaching.
But now Zhang Wei has obviously lost his mind, or maybe there is a reason why he must be like this.
If he refuses to be taken calmly into the city for investigation, then the chaos will only become a little bigger.
Isn't it just to calm down the situation that will follow if he, the eunuch and eunuch of the Beijing camp, is asked to come?
Zhang Yong raised his voice and shouted: "Tang Xianzhong and Deng Jiye obey orders! Enter the tent and capture the thieves!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Zhi's legs went weak: "Duke, we are under duress!"
"Skeleton!" Zhang Wei looked like he was crazy, "Kill!"
But the first ones to pounce were the people brought by Wang Zuo.
