The mobilization of the army, especially the mobilization of large armies, is definitely a big event.
Generally speaking, decisions must be made before troop mobilization. Then we have to write a letter saying that an army is coming, and the corresponding food, grass, baggage, etc. also need to be prepared by the place. There are also military camps and so on. You can’t have no place to live when the army comes. It’s not like they are going to the field.
However, there was no news about the arrival of the Baigan Army and the Beijing Camp. If there is a local government official, Fan Yongdou believes that he will know it immediately.
Then, the Baigan Army and the Beijing Camp suddenly entered the city without warning, and after arriving, the entire city was immediately under martial law. If there is no special purpose, then it is absolutely impossible
Thinking like this, for some reason, Fan Yongdou suddenly felt a chill coming from his back, and his whole person suddenly became extremely serious.
The Zhangjiakou garrison was already filled with soldiers from the Baigan Army and the Beijing Camp.
In the lobby, the eunuch Wang Erbiao and the eunuch Wang Erbiao, the supervisor of etiquette, sat in the main seat. On both sides stood factory guards, and below them were generals such as Ma Xianglin and Zhang Luofu. The garrison in Zhangjiakou was surrounded by five flowers, and they were escorted and kneeled there by two soldiers from the Beijing camp.
From the looks of it, he must have been interrogated once.
"Come on, put him in the prison car and prepare to be escorted to Beijing." Wang Erbiao was not as harmless as he was when he was next to Zhang Mingwei. He looked extremely majestic at this time, and shouted coldly and sternly while waving his hand.
At this time, the Zhangjiakou garrison could not stand up at all, and was finally dragged out by the two soldiers from the Beijing camp.
The cavalry from the Beijing camp suddenly arrived on horseback, occupied the city gate, and then issued a decree saying that they would help defend Zhangjiakou.
This shocked the Zhangjiakou garrison, and they wanted to refuse, but not only did they have a will, but they had already entered the city, so they couldn't refuse at all. He had started to panic, and when he was thinking about how to deal with it, factory guards suddenly appeared in the army, and the leader was the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch of the ceremony. He directly ordered him and all his troops to disarm. He knew that he was going to Ruined.
Sure enough, during the questioning of Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, he knew that these troops were not here to help with defense at all, but were here for the Shanxi merchants.
He knew very well what Shanxi merchants were doing. Thinking about the possible consequences, it's strange that I can still stand.
After the Zhangjiakou garrison was dragged out, Wang Erbiao immediately asked people to unfold the map of Zhangjiakou and said to the generals below, "The Duke of Guo said that these Shanxi merchants and their hoarded food must be captured with thunder. According to the Duke's instructions According to the news, the places marked are the places where they usually store food."
Ma Xianglin, Zhang Luofu and others all listened attentively.
"Now, the troops are divided into two groups. The Baigan Army will directly lead people to arrest the Shanxi merchants in the city, while the Beijing Camp will immediately go to these warehouses to ensure the food."
Wang Erbiao was talking when suddenly, he saw Zhou Wenzhen hurriedly entering, and he couldn't help but frown.
He knew very well who Zhou Wenzhen was. If the Duke hadn't interceded for him, he would have surrendered long ago.
To be honest, for such a cunning person, if it were him, he would definitely kill Qingjing.
At this time, Zhou Wenzhen barged in directly, and Wang Erbiao was ready to take the opportunity to get angry. He wanted to let him know the rules of the court and the dignity of superiors and inferiors. As long as he finds a reason, he is not afraid of going to the Duke to complain.
Thinking this, Wang Erbiao's face darkened and he was ready to train others.
Zhou Wenzhen rushed in excitedly and saw Wang Erbiao's face at a glance. He was startled and knew something was wrong, so he quickly reported it, "Eunuch Wang, one of my brothers said that he saw a group of knights outside the pass going to Fan Wencheng's house today. . On a hot day, they were all still wearing hats. They estimated that these people were probably Jianlu."
As soon as he heard what he said, Wang Erbiao immediately forgot about what he wanted to teach Zhou Wenzhen. He quickly leaned over and confirmed with expectation, "Seriously."
"I moved forward for about an hour, but no one came out of Fan Yongdou's house. Whether it was Jianlu or not, I can't say for sure, but it's very likely." Zhou Wenzhen didn't dare to finish his words and replied quickly.
After finishing speaking, he remembered something again and quickly added, "By the way, brothers also said that early this morning, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Jiabin, Tian Shenglan and others all went to Fan Yongdou's house, and they all went to Fan Yongdou's house. Haven’t left the house yet”
As soon as he heard this, Wang Erbiao stopped caring and immediately ordered, "Everyone, please act according to the plan immediately. Don't let down the expectations of the emperor and the duke."
After finishing speaking, he stood up and walked around the desk. As he walked, he said, "Let's start at Fan Yongdou's house first. Let's go there in person."
Capturing these six major Shanxi merchants, and by the way, also capturing the Jianlu from Liaodong on the spot would be a great achievement.
Therefore, he couldn't wait to run and catch people as soon as possible.
Seeing all the generals in the lobby hurried out with Wang Erbiao, Zhou Wenzhen, who was ignored, suddenly sighed and said to himself, "After all, only the Duke will treat us as human beings."
He doesn't feel respected in front of other people. On the contrary, he felt at ease with Zhang Mingwei, who was the Duke of Xingguo, and there was no obvious difference in status. This made him very emotional, and he made up his mind that the Ming Dynasty could not live without the Duke of the Kingdom, and Luo Zujiao could not live without the Duke of the Kingdom.
Thousands of soldiers from the Baigan Army and the Beijing Camp, except for the soldiers who were guarding Zhangjiakou, who were on duty at the city gates, and who were under martial law on the streets, all other soldiers were dispatched, each rushing towards their own goals.
Suddenly, the small city of Zhangjiakou was filled with the sound of uniform footsteps of troops advancing and the metallic sound of armor and weapons clashing. Those who were driven back to their homes or inns were all very nervous and didn't know what had happened.
Of course, some people can probably guess what is going on with such a big fight.
However, even if you know it, there is nothing you can do about it.
The army suddenly entered the city, and immediately the whole city was under martial law. No matter who it was, everyone was caught off guard and isolated in various houses. There was no possibility of collusion with each other, and they did not know the real situation happening outside. They were really powerless and could only wait for the outcome of the matter.
The streets and alleys in Zhangjiakou are not paved with stone slabs. In fact, among the northern towns, except for a few large cities, such as the capital, very few towns have stone paving because it is too expensive.
A large group of factory guards and white-pole troops swarmed towards Fan Yongdou's house. Suddenly, dust was flying on the street, accompanied by the rumble of horse hooves. The sound was so loud that people in nearby houses were frightened and no one dared to peek outside and hid in their houses.
When the white-pole army patrolling this street saw the movement, they rushed over and reported to the leader Wang Erbiao, who was wearing a scarlet robe, "Jili Gulu, Jili Gulu, Jili Gulu!"
In fact, he spoke Mandarin, but unfortunately he had been living in Shizhu before the war, and his accent was so severe that Wang Erbiao couldn't tell the difference at all.
When Ma Xianglin, who was following him, saw him, he quickly translated: "Eunuch Wang, this person from the Fan Mansion tried to figure it out, but was blocked back. There were people watching at the back door, and no one came out."
When Wang Erbiao heard this, he was very happy. He looked at the two tall stone lions at the gate of Fan's house. The gate was also very big. He sneered and said, "It looks like a traitor at first glance. This gate alone is already over the limit."
After he finished speaking, he sat on the horse, waved his right hand and said, "Come on, let me go in and arrest people, don't let anyone go."
After hearing this, Ma Xianglin wanted to turn around and give the order.
As a result, Dongchang's subordinates under Wang Erbiao had already swarmed over. When Ma Xianglin saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
However, since he was Eunuch Bingbi, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it was reasonable for Dongchang to arrest him. He could only blame his own people for not taking action earlier. It was not easy to compete with Dongchang for credit, so he had no choice but to watch.
I saw the group of Dongchang officers swarming at the gate and slapping them all hard.
"Bah, bah, bah"
"Open the door, open the door, open the door quickly"
""
This momentum is really like a robber coming to your door.
However, the movement only lasted for a while. When the leading Dongchang stall owner saw no response from inside, he became a little impatient and immediately ordered his men to start banging on the door.
As a result, I didn’t expect that the door was really strong. A group of Dongchang soldiers collided with each other, but they couldn't even get past each other.
Seeing this situation, Wang Erbiao was a little unhappy. He finally took advantage of his status to grab the credit, but in the end he lost face.
Perhaps the stall owner also noticed that he looked ugly, so he quickly ordered people to climb over the wall and sent people in to open the door.
However, no one expected that when the Dongchang officer piled himself on the courtyard wall, he heard a scream of "Ah!" and the Dongchang officer fell on his back. There was an arrow stuck in his face.
Suddenly, all the Dongchang servants were frightened and did not dare to show their heads again. They all looked at the stall, waiting for him to make up his mind.
The sweat on his head started to drop at that moment, and he felt a pair of eyes staring at him from behind, making his back feel cold.
So, he loudly ordered, "Why are you still standing there? Find a piece of wood and knock the door open for me."
When the Dongchang officers heard this, they immediately agreed and looked for big pieces of wood that could knock down the door.
But who knows, there is no such wood on this street. It is scattered in all directions and cannot be found for a while.
To be honest, at this time, Wang Erbiao's face was quite ugly. He didn't expect that he would not be able to enter the Fan Mansion at all, but instead lost a rank.
Seeing the Dongchang officers looking like headless flies, Ma Xianglin got off his horse and said loudly to them, "Don't bother, just stand aside."
Hearing what he said but Wang Erbiao didn't speak, the Dongchang servants quickly stepped aside and wanted to know what Xiao Ma Chao could do.
I saw Ma Xianglin taking a long shield from a guard, pulling out a waist knife with his other hand, and came to the gate.
