    Zhang Wei made a decisive decision and said loudly to Yang Tinghe: "Yang Shoufu, we are no match for them. I suggest that we evacuate this place immediately and mobilize troops outside the palace to surround Song Nan and these rebels. ¡À" Liang Chu shouted: "Zhang Hou  Master, you can't defeat them with a manpower that is several times theirs. You have spent so much time planning, and no one even warned the Han generals when they entered the palace. You are really confused." Zhang Wei said angrily: "I have no ability, you.  Mr. Liang went up to taste the iron sand of the gun. It was easy to say that no one could do anything against such a violent firearm. "Yang Tinghe waved his hands and shouted: "Stop arguing, just follow the wishes of Lord Zhang and hurry up.  Evacuate here and gather superior forces outside the palace for encirclement and suppression. " As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yong and others rushed in front. Zhang Wei shouted and urged the twenty or so sword officers around him to come up and stop them, while he pulled Yang Tinghe and quickly retreated.  ; When he retreated dozens of steps away and looked back, the twenty-odd officers with swords had all fallen into a pool of blood.  Zhang Wei understood that if Wang Yong and others were not afraid that firearms would injure other officials and the Queen Mother next to Luan Jia, they would have shot and killed them, and he and others would not have even thought of leaving.  As soon as Zhang Wei, Yang Tinghe and others escaped, the knife-forkmen were no match for the firearms of the Han generals in the Imperial Guard. At this moment, their fighting spirit suddenly disappeared. Without waiting for anyone to give orders, they immediately fled and surrendered, giving up resistance completely. The officials on the ground also began to  When they were not so agile, they got up, folded their hands and ran away. A group of officials who had arrows in their butts and backs could only watch helplessly as they fled, each one slapping them and angrily scolding them for their lack of courage and loyalty.  A eunuch reminded the Empress Dowager Zhang, who was trembling with her head buried in her knees, with a trembling voice: "Empress Dowager, Master Yang and the others have run away." Empress Dowager Zhang frightenedly poked her head out from the side of the sedan, just in time to see Yang Ting and their quickly escaping figures disappear into the flowers.  Behind the tree, he gritted his teeth and said, "How could they do this? Don't they care about the life and death of the Ai family?" Song Nan's voice came from not far away: "The Queen Mother, don't panic, I will never be rude to the Queen Mother." Queen Mother Zhang's expression  He turned pale, stood up, and said coldly: "Song Nan, is this how you repay the emperor's favor to you? The emperor has just passed away, and you want to seek power and seize the throne?" Song Nan slowly came down the steps.  , cupped his hands and said: "Empress Dowager, if you didn't want to put me to death, why would the situation be like this? As for seeking power and seizing the throne, it is up to the Queen Mother to promote ministers. I only know how to act according to the emperor's decree. I will not tolerate anyone who wants to disobey the emperor's decree.  Who. Come, escort the Queen Mother Luan back to Cining Palace, and send someone to protect the Queen Mother¡¯s safety. Queen Mother, it¡¯s not peaceful outside. If the Queen Mother leaves Cining Palace privately, I will not be able to guarantee your safety. After the situation calms down, I will  The Queen Mother is invited to come to Fengtian Palace to hear the emperor's edict read out, but I don't have time now. I must arrest Yang Tinghe and others immediately to calm the situation in the capital." Queen Mother Zhang sighed and bowed her head in silence. She knew that from this moment on, she had lost her freedom.  .  Song Nan watched the Empress Dowager Luan Jia leave. When she turned around, she saw King Wan Zhi Yong standing behind him. Hundreds of Han generals and lieutenants were standing in the square covered in blood, looking at him. Song Nan ordered in a cold voice: "Wan Zhi listens.  Order, lead the Han general to take control of all palaces in the palace, and disarm all the guards in the palace. If there is resistance, they will be killed. But be careful, whoever dares to take advantage of the chaos to act recklessly in the palace, don't blame me, Song Nan, for being ruthless. " "Wan Zhi handed over his promise,  Suddenly he said: "Sir, what should I do at the palace gate? Do you want to transfer someone from a humble position to guard it?" Song Nan shook his head and said: "It is enough to send a hundred brothers each to guard the three palace gates of Dongxihua Gate and Daming Gate. If Yang Ting and Zhang Wei  They have really gathered the soldiers and horses in the city. Even if we all go to guard the palace gate, we can't hold it. Although I don't want the capital to be in chaos, I can't care anymore. Wang Yong, prepare your horses immediately and follow me out of the palace. If I Song.  If Nan still has some charisma, my men and horses may have already gathered in place outside Zhengyang Gate. " Song Nan and Wang Yong led more than thirty Han generals and captains to fly from Xihua Gate to Xiyuan Xi'an.  He left the palace and took a detour to the Daming Gate. Although he encountered sporadic palace soldiers and horses on the road, it was obvious that they were not organized and did not attack or block Song Nan and others. Instead, Wang Yong ordered the commander to  The lieutenants shot a dozen of them with blunderbuss, and the rest ran wildly, trying to avoid them.  After leaving Xi'an Gate and arriving at Fu'anfang, the streets were in chaos. News of the chaos in the palace had obviously spread to the city. People on the streets were running around in a panic. Shops and merchants were busy closing their doors and closing their doors.  There are unidentified soldiers and horses galloping in the street, a scene of impending disaster and everyone is in danger.  Everyone hurried forward and headed straight for the Jinyiwei General Office along West Chang'an Street. The Jinyiwei General Office was on the side of Daming Gate. When they rushed to the intersection of West Chang'an Street and the main north and south streets of Dashi Yongfang, they heard the commotion of people and horses in front of them.  , there was a loud sound of orders.  Wang Yong hurriedly reined in his horse and said: "Sir, there are unidentified soldiers and horses in front of you. To prevent any?, sir, please wait a moment while I let you go and find out whose troops it is.  " Song Nan nodded, and stopped at the corner of the street with dozens of school captains. Wang Yong waved his whip and urged the horse to rush out, and went straight to the place where people were neighing and horses were neighing in front of them. Everyone waited nervously for a moment.  After that, the noise of soldiers and horses was suddenly heard getting closer and closer, and it seemed that they were heading towards Chang'an Street. A Han general and captain said in surprise: "Sir, should we avoid it?  " Song Nan also hesitated, but suddenly heard Wang Yong's cry: "Sir, come out, I am waiting to calm them down.  " Song Nan was overjoyed and rode out with the others. He saw that the street was full of thousands of uniformed flag guards, all fully armed. In front of the team, Hou Dabiao was riding on a horse and was running towards him. He was still more than ten steps away from Song Nan. Hou Dabiao rolled away.  An Ma dismounted and knelt down to salute. "Oh, I see you are here, sir, and we are so anxious."  When we learned that your Excellency had returned to Beijing, we rushed from the Yamen to Zhengyang Gate to greet him. However, we missed the opportunity and learned that Your Excellency had already taken Wang Qianshi to the palace. We wanted to enter the palace, but were blocked by the palace.  A bunch of bastards at the door stopped me, saying that the civil and military officials were discussing important matters, and no one was allowed to enter the palace during this period. What the hell was this?  It's a big joke that he can't enter Fujin Palace in Fusi Town, Jinyiwei North Town.  " Wang Yong said: "Is this considered strange to you?  The adults were stopped outside the city gate when entering the city. When entering the inner city, they were ordered not to bring personal guards in. When they saw the emperor, they all took hostages.  Hou Dabiao was dumbfounded and said: "What the hell is wrong with this?"  Did something really big happen?  Song Nan said: "Why do you appear here with these brothers?"  Don't you smell something?  "Hou Dabiao said: "My subordinates said that the gathering and mobilization of soldiers and horses in the city was in chaos, and I heard the chaotic sound of fire and gunfire in the palace. I felt that something was wrong. Thinking that you are in the palace, I am afraid that something might happen.  Your Excellency is afraid that you will have to call in manpower.  So after discussing with Sun Zhenfu, the two of us decided to immediately summon brothers from all the villages in the inner city to prevent the Lord from summoning us.  The humble post came to the sixth lane in the west to transfer people, and Sun Zhenfu went to the eighth lane in the east. Unexpectedly, he was about to rush to the gate of the Daming Gate Outer Palace with his brothers. Wang Qianshi appeared from behind our buttocks.  What happened?  Wang Yong rushed to say: "You are also becoming more and more confused as you become an official. You don't know what happened in the capital?"  A group of old bastards from the cabinet and the outer court took advantage of the Lord's absence in the capital and even pretended to appoint a candidate for the new emperor. When Eunuch Zhang learned about this, he traveled thousands of miles to Anqing to inform the Lord. We traveled for several days and nights.  Rushed to the capital to stop them.  Unexpectedly, those guys actually colluded with Zhang Wei and Tan You from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to control the situation in the city. The fork-knife bearers and knife-bearing officers in the palace also fell into their hands. They were fighting against the adults just now.  " Hou Dabiao was so shocked that he opened his mouth and said, "Ah?  How dare they do this?  " Song Nan said coldly: "This matter is a secret, and it is right that Eunuch Zhang did not tell you. After all, Eunuch Zhang also fled the capital privately, and he cannot guarantee that the information will not be leaked.  Now that the emperor has passed away, they have no scruples. They just tried to kill me in the palace. If the Han general camp had not unexpectedly come to rescue me, I would have been killed by them.  The Han general camp used the power of firearms to drive them out of the palace, but they must have gathered troops and horses to counterattack the palace and control the situation in the capital. What we have to do is to suppress them all.  " Hou Dabiao almost fell off his horse and said in a daze: "Oh my God, the emperor passed away, the situation has reached such a point, even the queen mother knew about it and still kept it in the dark.  If you are harmed by them in the palace, you would be considered stupid to death if you hold such a low position.  These bastards dare to make trouble and intend to murder your lord. They are rebelling. They are so damn tired of living. Your lord just issued an order and humbly ordered them to be arrested one by one and confess their crimes. Finally, their heads were chopped off one by one.  They were all cut down, and I had long wished to do this.  " Song Nan frowned and said: "There are no less than 30,000 to 40,000 troops in the city's Fifth Army Governor's Mansion. They are all the old troops of Tan You and Zhang Wei. This is not just a matter of words. I'm afraid it won't be possible just by relying on people like our Jinyiwei Yamen.  I wonder if my brother-in-law has brought troops to take action. It would be impossible without him this time.  Wang Yong said: "It goes without saying that the British Lord will just sit idly by and do nothing."  Although the British Princess is a little wise and timid, she is still reliable in major matters, otherwise he would not have sent someone to escort Eunuch Zhang out of the city to report the news to you. According to her humble position, the British Princess mainly depends on your attitude and what you want to do.  , he will definitely follow suit.  " Song Nan nodded and said: "You have seen him through. He pities the feathers of the British government and is afraid that if he takes the lead in doing things, he will be stigmatized in the future. It is reasonable.  He is different from me. I am not afraid of anything. I am not afraid of bad things being said about me in future history books. I only do what I should do and let others judge me.  I hope he won't back down this time, otherwise he and I will be together in the future.??Can't get along happily anymore.  " While they were talking, thousands of people and horses rushed to the west of Daming Gate. They heard shouts of killing in the distance. The captain who was scouting the road in front turned back and reported: "The fighting started at Zhengyang Gate, and it was a complete mess.  " Song Nan shouted and asked: "Whose soldiers and horses?  Are they the brothers of our Jin Yiwei?  "The captain said: "You can't see clearly from the side of the outer city. They seem to be soldiers and horses from the Beijing camp.  Song Nan frowned and said, "Let me be more clear. Whose troops and horses are the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp?"  "The captain said hurriedly: "The soldiers and horses of the Beijing Camp outside Zhengyang Gate are attacking Zhengyang Gate. On top of the city are the soldiers and horses of the Yingzhou Guards under the jurisdiction of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army. Listen, firecrackers and cannons are being used.  " Song Nan patted the horse and said: "Okay, my brother-in-law didn't give in this time. We started working before we arrived. Hou Dabiao and Wang Yong listened to the order and immediately flanked behind the Zhengyang Gate to disturb the people in front of the Daming Gate.  The soldiers and horses sent out a signal and ordered Sun Xuan's people from the east to rush in from the other side and make dumplings for them from behind.  " Hou Dabiao and Wang Yong promised loudly, and arrangements were made quickly. Six hundred people from the banner school followed Wang Yong to fight out from the forked road behind the general office, seven hundred people followed Hou Dabiao to attack from the main road, and the remaining one hundred people followed Song Nan to plunder the rear  After the formation command was assigned, the captains divided their troops into two groups and quickly approached the large square between Zhengyangmen and Damingmen. After a moment, more than a dozen fireworks bombs were seen flying into the sky with a scream. Soon after, the east  Fireworks and bombs were also launched in the direction of Mingshifang in the south, which must have been echoed by Sun Xuan's assembled guards and horses. Up and down the Zhengyang Gate tower, the battle to attack the inner city had already begun. When Li Daniu found Zhang Lun, Zhang Lun was gone.  Lun was indeed hesitant. Zhang Lun had considered this issue countless times. After Zhang Yong informed him of the imperial edict, he would always weigh it. If Zhang Mao were still alive, Zhang Mao would definitely warn him not to participate in this fight.  Detached independence has become the middle force for all parties to compete; it not only preserves the status of the British government, but also does not offend either party in the struggle for power. However, Zhang Lun knew that he could not sit back and watch the show. He knew that between himself and Song Nan.  Their interests are the same. They have been on Song Nan's side many times before. Even if he protects himself wisely this time, he will definitely not end well if Song Nan loses in this fight.  He belongs to Song Nan's faction, and will definitely be marginalized in the future, and will end up with a lot of notoriety. Among other things, if his sister doesn't go into the British mansion with a knife and chase after him, Zhang Lun's name will be written backwards.  The brother and sister turned against each other and never interacted with each other until death. Zhang Lun's biggest taboo was that he valued family ties more than interests. This was the most fundamental difference between him and Zhang Mao. Otherwise, he would not have known about the relationship between Song Nan and the little princess.  However, Zhang Lun also knew that the five battalions of Song Nan's trusted soldiers in the regiment were led by Song Nan to attack Prince Ning's rebellion.  , except for Fenwu Camp, which he led single-handedly, the remaining seven regiment camps are maintained by profit. Song Nan had already told himself that he wanted to purify the regiment camp, and even proposed  There are steps and methods, but Zhang Lun can't be cruel; now, the bitter consequences of not being cruel are highlighted. Whether he can mobilize the other princes is a question. With no choice, Zhang Lun made a decision.  Decided to immediately mobilize the Fenwu Camp and the Shenshu Camp under his control to control the situation in the outer city. As for the other regiments and camps, Zhang Lun chose a conservative approach, which was to let them stay put and not notify them to send troops at all.  What Lun was most afraid of was not that they refused to obey orders, but that they would suddenly defect to the side of the Queen Mother and Yang Tinghe. A defection at this time would be fatal. When Zhang Lun led his troops to Zhengyang Gate, thousands of them were killed.  The Jin Yiwei Banner School has gathered in the square outside Zhengyang Gate. Seeing that Song Nan's thousands of Jin Yiwei personal guards from the Fire Gun Battalion are also here. Zhang Lun can't help but feel worried about Song Nan's move into the inner city and the palace alone.  Sweat broke out. There was already a tense situation up and down the city gate. The Jinyi Guards and Horses could still hold back at first. When they heard the sound of explosive firecrackers in the palace, they knew that it was time to fight in the inner city. The Jinyi Guards Flag School  They couldn't hold it in any longer.  Hou Dabiao sent people to negotiate at the Zhengyangmen gate. He knew that the gate defenders would not agree, but he still tried to get them to open the gate and let the Jin Yiwei soldiers enter the inner city to check the situation. However, the Yingzhou guards at the top of the city were indiscriminate.  The bows and arrows killed more than a dozen imperial guards, immediately igniting the air that had reached the critical point of explosion.  As the Jinyi guards and horses immediately began to fight back and swarmed to attack the city gate, Zhang Lun no longer hesitated at all and ordered Fenwu Camp and Shenji Camp to attack the Zhengyang Gate Tower.  In terms of siege, Fenwu Camp and Shenji Camp are obviously more useful than Jinyi Guards. They are actual combat troops. They have siege equipment and have been trained in siege operations, so they immediately became siege troops.  Main force.  Thousands of Jinyi guards were unwilling to be spectators. Zhao Dapeng led a battalion of firecrackers to approach the city wall and fired at it. The other Jinyi guards from each thousand households also acted as climbers.The little pawns of Yunti treated the capital of Ming Dynasty as a battlefield to kill the enemy.  On the vast streets and squares from Daming Gate to Zhengyang Gate, nearly ten thousand and five military commanders and horses gathered here. When the Zhengyang Gate Tower and Zhang Lun's Shenji Camp and Fenwu Camp troops arrived outside,  Yang Tinghe, Zhang Wei and others had just escaped from the palace in embarrassment. Zhang Wei couldn't help but shudder when he heard the news that Zhang Lun led his battalion to arrive outside Zhengyang Gate.  "The British Duke has indeed taken action. Yang Gong, this is not going to be easy. If all the troops and horses of the regiment and camp are dispatched, there will be more than 50,000 troops. We are not opponents." Yang Tinghe frowned and said: "It's not unusual for Zhang Lun to take action. You  But have you heard clearly that all the troops from the seven battalions outside Zhengyang Gate have been mobilized? I have a tacit understanding with them, and the princes have said that they will not participate in it and will not interfere. " Zhang Wei.  He hurriedly went to the city tower to observe, but found that except for Zhang Lun's Fenwu Camp, Shenji Camp and Jinyi Guards, there were no other soldiers and horses at all. He was overjoyed and hurriedly informed Yang Tinghe, praising: "Mr. Yang  After careful consideration, the other princes in the regiment did not take action. It seems that the regiment is not monolithic. " Yang Tinghe said calmly: "Of course they are not monolithic. The reason why they appear to be respectful to Song Nan is that Zhang Lun and Song Nan control the regiment.  The position of deputy governor of the camp was originally their superior; secondly, the emperor favored Song Nan when he was still alive. Song Nan was also very vicious, and several princes who were openly against him were removed from the position of admiral of the regiment.  Throne, they are so sad that they are not willing to offend Song Nan easily. But in fact, they are not as loyal to Song Nan as they thought." Zhang Wei held up his hands and said, "What Mr. Yang said is that the current situation confirms your judgment. Mr. Yang.  "Ying Ming." Yang Tinghe glanced at Zhang Wei and said, "Do you think they will agree to it based on my few words? That's because I promised them benefits, and they are all people who can't afford the benefits. How can I say that I agree?"  Without them, the regimental governor will be theirs in the future, so they are willing to take the risk and stay put. "
