Part Two Chapter Thirty-Eighth Chapter Jinghua Fengyun (4)
From the beginning of the purge operation, Yi Xin entered a semi-crazy state. Revenge brought great pleasure to Yi Xin and deeply fell into anxiety. The emperor's throne was so tempting that Yi Xin could seize it by violence, and others could do it. The jade seal was still not found, and even the Concubine Lan and the little prince evaporated like the world.
After a purge, all the officials in Beijing were in danger. The soldiers responsible for the purge also developed from the beginning of relative self-discipline to the unscrupulous robbery. Some officials who were not on the list were also harassed to varying degrees. Beijing was in chaos. At this time, Yi Xin was obsessed with preparing for his throne ceremony, staying in the palace and the Old Summer Palace all day, ignoring what happened outside. After three days, the purge was actually over, but the development of the situation was about to get out of control. The soldiers were still making trouble in Beijing for a day after the three-day purge. The loyal Master Zhou stood up and came forward to stop the expansion of the situation, but this was the fourth day after the purge began. In two days, the new emperor Yi Xin's throne ceremony was about to begin, and there was of course a peaceful scene in the imperial city.
Just two days before Yi Xin was about to ascend the throne, an army quietly appeared in Tianjin and quickly occupied Tianjin. Yang Yi from Shanhaiguan also led 10,000 elite troops south and quietly approached the front line of Chengde.
The morning of late autumn was already a little chilly. After a few days of secret marching, Yang Yi and his new army saw Chengde from afar after the morning dance this morning. Beijing was not far away.
After a night of march, the brothers fell asleep in the woods tiredly. Only Feng Zicai was a little worried and was doing the final inspection. Yang Yi had to see his performance. Of course, Feng Zicai knew what it meant. As long as he performed well, it would be about having a chance to stand out. This time he went south to Beijing, Feng Zicai asked Yang Yi for a mission of a pioneer, and led three hundred brothers to open the way for the army in front and inquire about information. When he was asking Yang Yi for a task, Feng Zicai was still a little worried, afraid that Yang Yi was looking for an opportunity to run away. Unexpectedly, Yang Yi agreed, which made Feng Zicai feel grateful. He hoped that this time he went south could work hard for Yang Yi, make some contributions and repay Yang Yi's trust.
This place is very close to Chengde, and you can clearly see the scenery of the royal garden when standing on the high ground. After sending a brother to report the situation to Yang Yi, Feng Zicai led the other brothers to stay and rest in the woods. After checking the guard post, Feng Zicai felt a little tired and prepared to lie down to rest.
At this moment, there was a tingling sound of fighting in the woods in front of us. Feng Zicai called a few brothers and rushed towards the sound, intending to find out.
"Picture first, you can't escape. Just hand over the jade seal and the prince. I can protect you from death in front of the emperor. Isn't it easy to get wealth?" Following the voice, Feng Zi discovered that several men were protecting a young woman with a child in her arms, confronting a group of men in black. It seemed that there were many people in black. They stood up and were surrounded by these men and women. After the leading man in black finished speaking, the woman looked at the men around her in fear, and then hugged the children in her arms. One of them was tall and burly, and it seemed that the head of these men. The man comforted the woman with his eyes, and then stood in front and replied:
"Bah, I want to be grateful to the emperor first. You thieves who are traitors and want me to betray my master, it is a dream. If you want to succeed today, you must pass my hurdle first."
"In this way, you will offend. Brothers, take them down and the emperor will have a heavy reward." The leader of the man in black gave the order, and the crowd in black immediately surrounded and fought in one place.
As the saying goes, "Two fists are hard to resist four hands, and heroes cannot resist many people." Although these men are very brave, the number of people is smaller. The other party relies on the large number of people to surround the opponents and attack in groups. Although the men in black were chopped over by the men, these men were also injured. After a while of fighting, the injuries on several men's bodies continued to increase, and the guys in their hands were not as fast as they started. I saw that Tu was first cut by a man in black and cut the man on the left side. Not only did he not retreat, he roared and slashed the man in black to the ground with one knife, but Tu was also cut by a man in black and cut another knife.
The encirclement of the man in black shrinks and the smaller the men's resistance becomes, and the men can only form a ball to protect the woman and the child in the middle.
With a "Oh", a man was injured and then he was stabbed again, falling into a pool of blood. Then two more men were chopped down. Seeing that these men could not support him, a man in black had rushed to the woman and the child, and took the knife and slashed at them. Tu Xian saw this scene, gave up the man in black who was entangled with him, and waved the knife to mention the woman and the child to block the knife. The woman and the child were saved, but a big knife had already slashed at Tu Xian behind him. The whistling sound was clearly heard, and it was too late to hide, not to mention that Tu Xian was injured all over and had no strength to hide. Tu Xian shouted in his heart: "Your Majesty, I am loyal to you." As soon as he closed his eyes, he waited for the knife to fall on him.
"Bang, bang, bang" A dense gunfire sounded. Tu Xian expected that the key knife would not hit him. With a clang, the knife that should have fallen on Tu Xian's body fell to the ground, and then a continuous "thump" sound, and the besieged men in black kept falling to the ground. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty men in black fell down. After a moment of stunned moment, the few involved ran away, but before they could run away, they were shot into a hornet's nest by another row of guns. At this time, the child in the woman's arms could no longer control her tears.
Tu Xian struggled and turned around. He saw a group of soldiers dressed differently from the ordinary Qing army, one holding a foreign gun, and when he looked closely, he was still Chinese. Which unit was this? Tu Xian was puzzled, but he still shouted to them: "Which one of them is coming? The prince of the current emperor is here, come and rescue him." Tu Xian finished speaking, and could no longer support him, and he immediately sat on the ground.
It was not someone else who came, but Feng Zicai and his brothers. When they were fighting on both sides, Feng Zicai heard the word "Trade" and hurried back and called all the brothers. After surrounding the group of people, it was estimated that the women and children that these men protected were not simple, so they rescued them.
Feng Zicai never expected that he had saved the prince, as if he had a jade seal. No matter what, this should be a great contribution. It was Feng Zicai's luck that Tu first protected Concubine Lan and Prince Zaichun and secretly left Beijing City. After discussing with Concubine Lan, Tu first decided to protect Concubine Lan and the prince back to Shengjing. Unfortunately, he left in a hurry and had no horses to carry him. The guards had to carry the two of them on their backs. After walking for three days, they were about to reach Chengde, but were caught up by the killer sent by Yi Xin to kill. Fortunately, they met Feng Zicai's vanguard troops and were saved.
Feng Zicai was surprised to hear about the prince and the jade seal, and immediately asked his brothers to bandage the men's wounds and clean the battlefield, and then protected everyone and rushed towards Yang Yi's army.
As Feng Zicai and the others who stood before the battle, they all rode horses, which made everyone get on the road much faster. In order to make Yang Yi prepare early, Feng Zicai sent a brother to ride a fast horse to report to Yang Yi. He and the other brothers walked slowly behind. At noon, Feng Zicai and the others finally met a large group of people advancing towards Chengde.
"What did you say? Prince and Jade Seal?" After learning this information, Yang Yi shouted at the soldiers who reported the news. The news was too surprising. After learning that Yi Xin began a revenge and purge in Beijing, Yang Yi ordered the troops to slow down the marching speed and did not rush to Beijing. He hoped that Yi Xin would kill Beijing City to flow into a river, and then he could clean up the situation. At that time, as long as he was under the banner of destroying the rebel party and avenging the late emperor, he could just destroy Yi Xin. Who knew how the prince and the imperial concubine came out halfway.
Suddenly encountering such information, the original plan may have changed. Yang Yi had another idea in his mind and immediately ordered the troops to stop moving forward. At the same time, he called Zhang Jian to his side, and the two discussed how to resolve the emergency in front of him.
Zhang Jian was also surprised after knowing this. Yi Xin was too confused, so why did he let these two people run out of Beijing? Things seemed a bit tricky. Zhang Jian pondered for a while and soon felt that this should be an opportunity. After thinking for a while, Zhang Jian said to Yang: "Sir, from the perspective of the following, this should not be a bad thing."
When Yang saw Zhang Jian speaking like this, he knew that his thoughts were close to his own meaning, but Zhang Jian was a military advisor. Yang Yi always liked to let Zhang Jian say these words to show respect for Zhang Jian.
Yang Yi smiled and said, "Sir, you might as well talk about it and see if it is more ideal than originally expected."
Zhang Jian smiled calmly and said, "If you don't want to change your plan, it's simple, just..." Zhang Jian made a beheading gesture, Yang Yi smiled and waved his hand, "Sir, don't hide it, I know that's not what you mean." Zhang Jian then smiled and said, "Sir, why don't you imitate Cao Mengde in the Three Kingdoms?"
Yang Yi laughed and said, "A good idea. What name is better than the name of the prince and the imperial concubine. I will use this method to save the trouble from the local bosses. With these two cards in hand, are you still afraid that they will be disobedient? If you don't obey, I will just destroy them." The two were just talking happily, and there was a stir in front of them. It turned out that Feng Zicai and the others were back protecting the prince and the nobleman Lan.
