Standing on a high hill outside Nanjing City, listening to the sound of drums coming from the city, Yang Shu sighed softly. He looked back at the neatly dressed soldiers, his eyes full of confidence. Yang Shu was a general that Sun Chuanting valued very much. Not only was he very brave, but he also knew military tactics well. From Sun Chuanting to the third camp, Yang Shu was the first general to follow Sun Chuanting, and it can be said that he had deep trust in Sun Chuanting. This time, Yang Shu followed Emperor Tianqi south and was appointed to lead 15,000 soldiers. They marched in a hurry and finally arrived at Nanjing. After receiving the news that Nanjing was closed, Yang Shu knew that something big had happened in the city. However, Yang Shu did not forcefully enter the city. Without Emperor Tianqi's will, Yang Shu did not have the courage. At this time, listening to the gathering drums in Nanjing City, Yang Shu's face became more solemn. However, he still chose to wait and see. "Commander, Commander Shen is here!" The commander came to Yang Shu's side, bowed respectfully, and said with a serious face. Commander Shen is referring to Shen Quan, whose position is the same as his own, that of commander. Before the equalization reform, the commander was the highest officer in the garrison. After the equalization reform, the commander could only command 10,000 troops. However, Yang Shu likes his current position very much, because he is a real commander, not subject to the control of civilian officials, and only listens to the orders of his superiors. Shen Quan was also Sun Chuanting's confidant. When he came to Nanjing this time, he commanded five thousand troops and accompanied the emperor. Among the 15,000 men under his command, Shen Quan's 5,000 men were among them. Now that Shen Quan has arrived in Nanjing, the emperor must be not far away. Putting aside his chaotic thoughts, Yang Shu looked at the messenger and said with a smile: "Commander Shen, please come over!" He has a good relationship with Shen Quan, and he doesn't need to communicate with him at home on weekdays. But this is different, this is a military camp. Without his own handwriting, let alone Shen Quan, even bigger officials would not be able to get in. "Yes, sir!" The messenger naturally did not dare to neglect. He bowed respectfully, turned around and walked outside. See the messenger and go out. Shen Quan smiled and turned his head and said: "Supervisor Feng, Commander Shen is here. It seems we don't have to wait here anymore." There should have been two supervisors, one from the Inspectorate and the other due to the He is a eunuch in the palace. However, because he was accompanying Emperor Tianqi out of the city, Eunuch Cao, who was supervising the army, was on Emperor Tianqi's ship. The only one in the army was Feng Jianjun, who had a straight face all day long. "General Yang, it is your business to lead the troops in combat. I am only supervising. You don't need to tell me about the battle plan. I will be disciplined by the process. That is my duty." Feng Jianjun seemed to understand Yang Shu's show of goodwill remained unchanged, his face remained calm, he smoothed the beard on his chin and said in a deep voice. It seemed that he didn¡¯t hear Feng Jianjun¡¯s alienation, Yang Shu still stood there and smiled. He had long been used to Feng Jianjun's expression. But there was one thing he still didn't understand. Why do civil servants always like to stroke their beards? Looking at his beard, Yang Shu slowly shook his head. I have read a book, and although I have no fame, I don¡¯t even stroke my beard! "Yang Shu, you didn't go out to pick me up when I came. It's really annoying!" A voice sounded not far away. But his tone was full of laughter. "You still need me to pick you up, who do you think you are!" Yang Shu's answer was not polite at all, but his laughter was full of joy. Striding to Yang Shu's side, Shen Quan said with a smile: "I don't have time to argue with you, give me my five thousand people. If you let me know that you are not good to them, see how I deal with you." " Yang Shu nodded. Since Shen Quan is here, he naturally wants to hand over the military power to him. As for the threats from behind, Yang Shu naturally filtered them out and said: "Does the emperor have a decree? Do we want to pick him up?" "Someone wants to assassinate the emperor on the way. These people are so audacious! What we have to do now is to enter the city and arrest people. . This is a list, there are two copies, one for each of us, and we will arrest people according to the list!" Hearing Yang Shu's question, Shen Quan suddenly became serious, took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Yang Shu, saying in a deep voice. . Yang Shu glanced at the list of results and nodded. As for the identity of the people on it, Yang Shu didn't consider it at all. This is the emperor's order, arrest people! Just execute it yourself. "How is Nanjing City?" After explaining the matter, Shen Quan turned his eyes to Yang Shu's face and asked seriously. "The city is now closed, but the gathering drum has just started ringing in the city. There must be results soon!" Yang Shu sighed helplessly. If the gathering drum had not sounded, he would still have credit for countering the rebellion. I'm afraid there is no such opportunity now! Yang Shu and Shen Quan are very clear about Wei Guogong's status and strength in Nanjing. Even if I am progressing now, I am afraid that I am just drinking soup. But soup is better than nothing! Lowering his head and thinking for a while, Shen Quan looked at it with a smile.Yang Shu said, "Let's go into the city now, don't hang around here!" "Go into the city? The city is sealed now!" Yang Shu was slightly stunned and looked at Shen Quan in surprise. He never thought of this. Sometimes Shen Quan would have such thoughts. "How about being locked up? We are obeying the emperor's order. Who dares not to let us enter the city? If we are not allowed to enter the city, it will be a rebellion. If we rebel, we will fight in." Shen Quan seriously flashed a cunning light and said with a smile. . Yang Shu immediately shook his head like a plucked drum and said helplessly: "That's what I say, but can we really fight? With people like us, how can we defeat it? This is the city of Nanjing, and it is easy to break it. ? If someone stops us from going outside, where will we put our face?" Pointing at Yang Shu, Shen Quan said with an iron heart: "You are so smart and confused for a while, we have the emperor's decree, who dares to stop it? Even if they stop us, what they don¡¯t give is the emperor¡¯s face. How much is our face worth? If the emperor arrives and we haven¡¯t entered the city, it will be a shame to be thrown into grandma¡¯s house!¡± Hearing Shen Quan! After saying this, Yang Shu immediately understood, nodded, and said: "That's indeed the truth. Let's call the door now. Let's see who dares to stop us!" After the two people agreed, they were ready to set off. The whole process , Feng Jianjun didn¡¯t say a word. In the yamen of Nanjing¡¯s Fifth Army Governor¡¯s Mansion, Wei Guogong was sitting on a chair in a military uniform, with the king¡¯s order flag raised behind him. A herald on the left is holding a yellow imperial edict, and the man on the right is holding the Shang Fang Sword given by Emperor Tianqi. "General Qi, the time has come!" Tongzhi bowed respectfully and said seriously. Slowly nodded, Wei Guogong said with a sinking voice: "Click on, who can't, military law is engaged in!" Wei Guogong's words were very light, but everyone below felt cold. Doing Mao is actually a roll call. According to military law, if you can't get one Mao, you will be punished with forty with a stick! If you don't get two strokes, you will be punished with eighty sticks! In less than three seconds, he was pushed directly out of the gate and beheaded. Today, Duke Wei's expression is so serious, and the hall is so empty, many people may have their heads dropped to the ground. Many people are confused. They are considered to be Wei Guogong's confidants, but they have all been replaced by Uncle An Xiang in the past few days. But today I saw Wei Guogong sitting in the lobby, and I couldn't help but feel a little drumming in my heart. Isn¡¯t it rumored that Duke Wei Guo was assassinated? It is said that he was already unconscious. Why do he look so energetic now? After the three-pointed sign, Wei Guogong nodded and said in a deep voice: "You all go back to your respective positions. Those in charge of the city gate, go and take over the city gate! If anyone resists, he will be punished on the spot. The city gate will be in charge. After that, open the city gate wide, and only people are allowed in and out. If anyone goes out, Li Zhe, cut off the heads of the whole family!" Listening to Wei Guogong's calm tone, the faces of the people below twitched. It's true, no joke. Li Zhe hurriedly walked out, bowed respectfully, and said loudly: "Don't worry, general, I'll go right away!" When Li Zhe left, Wei Guogong glanced at the military judge on the side and said, "Take the people with you. Arrest everyone, anyone who can't be killed today will be arrested! If there is resistance, kill them without mercy! Remember to bring more people, don't let anyone kill them, I can't afford to lose that person." After that, he handed over the military order in his hand. Throw it aside to the military commander. "Yes, General!" The military commander took the order and strode outside. He was ready to follow Wei Guogong's words and bring more people with him. As for what will happen to those captured, that is not something I should think about. Picking up a token again, Wei Guogong said in a serious voice: "Hu Zhe, Zhao Cheng, Zhou Wu, and Zheng Wang, the four of you, go out of the city and drop your troops into the city. After entering the city, divide the troops into four groups. Clean up the rebels in each yamen, and kill them if they resist!" This is actually a safe measure. Uncle An Xiang has been caught, and the rest are no longer in danger. "Yes, General!" The four people stood up quickly. There was a rebellion in the city. There was no fear on the four people's faces, but a look of joy. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. I want to be promoted! After taking the token, the four people walked out quickly. Taking out a list from his arms, Wei Guo gave it to his colleagues on the side, picked up another token, and said: "Take the people, arrest all these people, and seal the mansion! Remember not to hurt people's lives. , Don¡¯t commit adultery or robbery!¡± ¡°Yes, General!¡± Tongzhi took the list and walked out quickly. Uncle An Xiang is a fool. Wei Guogong has always thought so. Although the soldiers are stationed scattered, how can there be no soldiers in the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army? He had already transferred people into the Duke's Mansion and wanted to arrest him. However, Wei Guogong also had direct knowledge of Jin Yiwei's spies. An Xiangbo's confidant Qianhu Chuqian was actually from Jin Yiwei, which really surprised Wei Guogong. I don¡¯t know how many spies there are here, and I didn¡¯t have time to think about it. Wei Guogong stood up suddenly and said loudly: "The rest of the people follow me to the palace." (To be continued)
