    Zhang Wei was shocked and said: "Mr. Yang, how can you promise the post of governor of the regiment? Didn't you promise me that in the future" Yang Tinghe smiled and said: "You, can't you be angry? If I didn't say so,  Can they be obedient? The Queen Mother ordered the troops to hold the camp and let your troops from the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army move into the city to take over the city defense. Do you think it was that easy? ¡ù% Don¡¯t worry, although I¡¯m afraid.  I made a promise to each of them in private, but only the promise to you is true. This is called marrying multiple women. In the end, only one will become the bed partner, and the rest are all in vain.  . When the situation stabilizes and the new emperor ascends the throne, I will ensure that you will be the governor of the regiment. By then, these people will be under your control. If anyone is unconvinced or uncomfortable, won't you, Mr. Zhang, punish them? "  Zhang Wei beamed with joy, opened his mouth to laugh, and praised repeatedly: "You are so good at marrying more than one woman. Yang Gong has a brilliant plan. I admire him very much." Yang Tinghe said lightly: "I have no choice but to say that I, Yang Tinghe, have never been so deceitful in my life.  It's extraordinary, but for the sake of the overall situation of the imperial court and the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, we have to do this. Let's not talk about it. We need to capture Song Nan and Zhang Lun immediately to calm the situation in the capital." Zhang Wei said in a low voice.  How should we deal with the situation above and below Zhengyangmen City? " Yang Tinghe said: "Thank you for asking this. Song Nan has already taken action in the palace, and thousands of people died. This is no longer something that can be reconciled, but a war.  Do you still have illusions about fighting to the death? Song Nan and Zhang Lun are already rebellious thieves, so what else do they have to worry about?" Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and said, "I understand, I immediately ordered the city to attack.  He restrained Zhang Lun and ordered two guards from the outer city to surround him and kill them in one fell swoop. "Yang Tinghe said, "What are you waiting for?" Zhang Wei immediately conveyed the order and declared Zhang Lun and Song Nan to be traitors to the imperial court.  The thief ordered the soldiers at the top of the city not to be patient, but to kill any enemy who came close. At the same time, he sent people to the outer city to convey the order, and mobilized the two guards and horses from the outer city to outflank Zhang Lun's two battalions from the east and west sides towards Zhengyang Gate.  Soldiers and horses and thousands of soldiers and bannermen strangled themselves in the square outside Zhengyangmen.  Because of this, the Jin Yiwei stepped forward to negotiate and were immediately shot dead by soldiers and horses at the top of the city, triggering a joint siege battle between the Shenji Camp, Fenwu Camp and the Jin Yiwei. This was exactly the result Zhang Wei needed.  ¡­ More than 6,000 soldiers and horses from the Dudu Palace successively boarded the Zhengyang Gate tower and various parts of the city wall to reinforce the Yingzhou guards and horses above the city wall. At the same time, Zhang Wei gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses to prepare to return to the palace and annihilate the Jinyiwei Han General Camp.  , to catch Song Nan; but he failed to consider one thing, that is, there are thousands of people in the Jinyiwei Yamen in the inner city. When the fireworks on the east and west sides flew into the sky, Zhang Wei suddenly realized this level,  But it's too late.  On both sides of the east and west, thousands of imperial guards poured out like a tide. The total number of people was actually less than 3,000, but Zhang Wei only had 5,000 available manpower. At the same time, it was a neglected force that suddenly overwhelmed the Ming Dynasty.  The soldiers and horses in the gate square were caught off guard.  The Jinyiwei Banner School rarely experiences such large-scale combat situations, and is insufficient in terms of experience, but they are better than well-equipped, well-trained, and have strict orders. After the Jinyiwei was reorganized, the gangsters in the original flag school  They were all driven away and joined by many civilian children from farmers. These people worked hard and obeyed the orders. During training, they all competed for the lead. Their appearance was very different from before. After the order was given, they all rushed to the front bravely. Their fearless spirit made up for part of the actual combat.  Due to the lack of force, the troops and horses of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, which hurriedly responded to the battle, quickly rushed out of the east and west gaps.  Wang Yong and Hou Dabiao both took the lead, dancing with swords in their hands. Each led hundreds of people to rush into the square. As the formations dispersed, tens of thousands of horses and horses fought in a stalemate in the square, and the weapons clashed.  The sound was endless, as if there were hundreds of blacksmith shops opening in the square.  Song Nan rode a horse and led thirty Khan generals and more than a hundred ordinary captains to the west side of the square. Looking around, there were fightings all over the city, inside and outside the square, and in Zhengyang Gate.  Zhang Lun, who was outside, was quite restrained and did not order people to fire cannons indiscriminately close to the boundary of the palace. Indiscriminate firing of cannons would affect the safety of the palace and the royal family in the palace, so the cannons only focused on the Zhengyang Gate tower and city walls, and did not attack at all.  He didn't come to disturb the fighting in the square behind.  Song Nan squinted his eyes and glanced around, and saw Yang Ting, Fei Hong, Liang Chu and others watching the battle with their hands behind their backs on the avenue leading to the Yamen Office on the east side of the Daming Gate. There was a group of hundreds of people in front of them.  Soldiers and horses were guarding; Song Nan clamped the horse's belly, and the horse jumped out. Behind him, a Han general flag officer and a Jin Yiwei Yamen Hundred Households shouted in unison: "Where are you going, sir?" Song Nan didn't even look back.  He said: "To capture the thief and capture the king, Yang Tinghe actually dared to show his face. He didn't shed tears until he saw the coffin." "Come back, sir, we are responsible for your safety, how can you"Personally involved in danger?  " Song Nan's voice came from a few feet away: "What's so wordy?  The whole team follows up and clears out the enemies on my flanks.  "Everyone was helpless. More than thirty Han generals on horseback rushed in with their whips raised, and more than a hundred Jin Yiwei flag schools also shouted to join the rolling battle group. Song Nan galloped in on horseback, and there were figures of fighting soldiers from both sides in front of and behind the horses.  The fire gun was useless here. Song Nan took out the embroidered spring knife in his hand and raised it high above his head. The red spike on the handle was like a ball of fire burning in the air. It was really a knife that the skillful Yang Kouer knitted and gave to Song Nan.  Sui, has never left Song Nan's handle for several years. "I am Song Nan, the Duke of Daming Town. The emperor has issued an order. Yang Ting, Zhang Wei, Tan You, Fei Hong, Liang Chu and others have rebelled against the imperial edict and made trouble. I have been ordered to arrest them."  Thieves, you are not the culprits, but if you lay down your weapons, you will not be held accountable. If you persist in your stubbornness, you should be treated as thieves and rebels.  "Song Nan shouted loudly. "Although the scene was noisy, Song Nan's figure flying in the sun wielding the embroidered spring knife was extremely eye-catching, with his scarlet cloak flying and stretching behind him, making a hunting sound. The soldiers couldn't help but take a moment to listen carefully to Song Nan's shouting.  Many people were moved by the content. Yang Tinghe and others in the northeast corner of the square also saw Song Nan galloping towards him. Liang Chu immediately ordered the more than 200 soldiers guarding him and others in front of him to stand with their bows and arrows ready as soon as Song Nan approached.  Yang Tinghe was also very panicked, but he didn't show it on his face at all. After listening carefully for a few words, Yang Tinghe snorted angrily, and suddenly jumped up on the green stone and shouted: "Song Nan, the traitor, has evil intentions.  He forced his way into the emperor's chamber and caused his death; he also refused to accept the emperor's last edict and the Queen Mother's decree, and conspired with Zhang Lun to usurp the throne. This is an unforgivable crime.  The Jinyi Guardsmen listen, Song Nan's crimes deserve to be punished, but you were deceived by his deception and immediately laid down your weapons and surrendered, or assisted in the arrest of Song Nan. I, Yang Tinghe, swear in the name of the chief minister of the cabinet that I will forgive your crimes.  And be rewarded.  " The soldiers on both sides were confused as they listened to Song Nan and Yang Tinghe accusing each other of being traitors, and each claiming that they had a will. Song Nan laughed loudly, and shouted at Yang Tinghe through dozens of groups of soldiers who were fighting.  Said: "Yang Tinghe, you are just trying to imitate me. If I shout, you also shout. Can you be a little creative?  " Yang Tinghe sneered and shouted: "Bah, you are a rebellious minister and traitor, and I, Yang, deserve to learn from you. Yang just doesn't want others to be deceived by you.  " Song Nan laughed, pointing the embroidered spring knife in his hand at Yang Tinghe from a distance: "Originally, the emperor's edict mentioned that you have merit for many years of hard work, and there was no heavy punishment. I have always thought that you would not ignore the overall situation, but at this moment I just  Understand, you are a treacherous person, and you are guilty of committing a heinous crime and refusing to admit your mistake. You are a failure of God's grace.  And what you just said made me very unhappy, so I decided not to spare you, Yang Tinghe, you are asking for death!  Yang Tinghe sneered several times and said loudly: "Master Zhenguo, we still don't know who will live and who will die."  " Song Nan was furious, and he led dozens of horses to rush over. Yang Tinghe quickly jumped off the green stone and disappeared behind hundreds of foreign soldiers. Hundreds of soldiers and horses moved forward with a loud noise and met the horses of Song Nan and others. Both sides  They quickly fought fiercely together. Song Nan was angry, and his men were even more merciless. Regardless of rushing to the front, the big Han generals around him dared not put him in danger. They rushed forward to protect those on both sides of Song Nan.  In the empty space, the horses' hooves trampled and the fire guns roared. Hundreds of foreign troops were afraid of the firearms in the hands of these dozens of people. Many were shouting and shouting, but few actually faced the horses' heads. After a cup of tea, the surrounding Jinyiwei Banner School heard that Master Song was surrounded and charged desperately.  came to the rescue. After a while, the hundreds of foreign soldiers and horses were dispersed. At the same time, Song Nan's horse hooves had already stepped onto the entrance of the Yamen Avenue where Yang Tinghe and others had just set foot. Looking around, Yang Ting and Liang Chu were seen.  The figures of Fei Hong and others retreating in panic were more than a hundred steps ahead. Song Nan turned around and looked at the square. The stalemate fighting was far away. He didn't know when the winner would be decided. Maybe when he caught Yang Tinghe,  All this would end in a moment, so he rushed up the Yamen Avenue on horseback, trying to capture the fleeing people. Suddenly, he heard the sound of cannons, and there was a commotion in the southeast corner of Daming Gate. Song Nan stopped his horse and shouted: "What's the matter?  What's going on?  " A moment later, news came that enemy reinforcements had arrived, and all the eight thousand soldiers and horses stationed at Chongwen Gate came to reinforce the battle at Zhengyang Gate and Daming Gate. As a result, the strength of the two sides in the square was already too different, and there was no  It was necessary to continue the fight. If the fight continued, the whole army would be annihilated. Song Nan cursed loudly, but he knew in his heart that this was because the regiment only sent out one battalion of Fenwu Camp, plus the ones in Zhang Lun's hands.  The total number of soldiers and horses in the Shenji Battalion is only about 11,000. This small number of soldiers and horses can only attack Zhengyang Gate, and there is no way to divide the troops to attack the defenders of Xuanwu Gate and Chongwen Gate leading to the inner city from the east and west.  The soldiers and horses of other battalions were stationary in the outer city barracks, allowing the defenders of Chongwenmen and Xuanwumen to use their forces to resolve the chaos in the inner city.??.  Song Nan sighed in his heart. At least half of the people in the regiment were incompatible with each other. Song Nan had already told Zhang Lun to wait for an opportunity to change him. He had even made plans and arrangements for this, but Zhang Lun never took action; Song Nan had been  Busy with the war abroad, he could only leave the matter to Zhang Lun, but to this day, Zhang Lun has not made up his mind to solve it; so much so that at the critical moment, the governor of the regiment and camp could not even dispatch the regiment and camp, making the situation fall into crisis.  among.  The situation at this moment is not the most critical. Song Nan's biggest worry is not that the other troops in the regiment are standing still, but that if the situation worsens, those princes will brazenly send troops to help Yang Tinghe and force everyone to push down the wall. Then  That's the scariest thing.  Picking up bargains and benefits has always been the strength of these guys. If they lose all their men in the inner city, or they are captured by Yang Tinghe, it means that the balance is broken, and those guys will most likely go out to fight the lost dogs.  Song Nan had to order all soldiers and horses to withdraw from the battle immediately. Of the nearly 4,000 soldiers and horses gathered in the inner city, less than 3,000 were left. Adding the 800 soldiers and horses from the general camp of the Han Dynasty in the palace, these 4,000 were less than 3,000.  The men and horses are all the men in the inner city. These people are the last force to maintain balance.  "Withdraw into the Daming Gate and guard the palace gate." Song Nan ordered loudly. Wan Zhi led 300 Han generals to rush out of the palace as a cover to keep the pursuing enemy soldiers away from the Daming Gate. Thousands of Jin Yiwei Banner School quickly entered  Inside the Daming Gate, they climbed up the high palace walls and tried their best to defend.  Song Nan climbed onto the tower of Daming Gate and looked at the situation outside Daming Gate. Tens of thousands of enemy soldiers were lined up in the square with eager eyes. He saw Yang Tinghe and others coming to the square, accompanied by a group of military generals.  Pointing at the Daming Gate Tower, he was obviously planning how to break into the palace.  At the Zhengyang Gate in the south, the sound of fire cannons was still rumbling, and the shouts of killing were heard loudly. Although Zhang Lun led his troops to attack clearly, he could know how difficult the battle was.  The towers and walls of Zhengyangmen are strong. In recent years, the great power of artillery in battles has attracted great attention from the court. More than ten artillery pieces have been installed on the walls on both sides of Zhengyangmen as a supplementary force to defend the inner city. It can be imagined that  You know how big of a threat they pose.  Song Nan has nothing to do for the moment. All he can do now is to guard the palace and be ready to attack at any time. In this situation, he can hold back the more than 10,000 foreign troops in Zhengyangmen Square, preventing them from reinforcing Zhengyangmen and waiting for Zhengyang.  The moment the door was breached.  "Give me some strength, my uncle, this is a great opportunity for you to make your name in history." Song Nan squinted at the spring sun that was falling slanting to the west, praying silently in her heart.   Zhang Lun didn't want to attack Zhengyang Gate quickly. When the siege started, there were more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Shenji Camp and Fenwu Camp, plus a fierce attack by thousands of soldiers and horses from Jinyiwei, he was almost successful.  , but suddenly the artillery roared from the top of the city, and the number of enemy troops on the city tower suddenly doubled, killing the charge that was about to succeed.  After asking about the situation, I found out that it turned out that reinforcements from the Fifth Army Dudu Mansion guarding the Xuanwu Gate in the inner city from the west arrived. Nearly 7,000 reinforcements were sent to the upper and lower walls of Zhengyangmen City, which immediately made the attack impossible.  task.  Although the Shenji Battalion has more than a hundred cannons, these cannons are extremely powerful if they fall into the opponent's crowd, but they are quite ineffective if they just bombard the strongest inner city walls, which are four to five feet high and thick.  , every cannonball hit the city wall, exploding a deep crater on the city wall, but it was just a crater.  Hundreds of artillery shells hit and bombarded a section of the city wall. After the smoke cleared, although the city wall looked terrible, there was no sign of collapse at all. It only blasted depressions up to ten feet deep on the city wall.  It was still very early, and as a result, not to mention the consumption of artillery shells, the barrels of dozens of cannons overheated and were close to being scrapped.  The attackers actually have a lot of firearms. There are more than a thousand muskets in the Shenji Camp. Hou Dabiao of the Jinyi Guard Camp has more and more powerful firearms, but they all require close range shooting to be effective. They are used to defend the city or level the ground.  The charge and sniper attack can be used when knocking down, but when used to attack a city, it is almost useless.  Raise your head and shoot towards the city?  Not to mention whether you can hit the enemy behind the battlements, whether you can rush into the range of the fire gun is also a problem, because long before you reach the range of the fire gun, you have already entered the shooting range of the crossbow, and you may not reach it.  The place became a hedgehog.  Zhang Lun was so anxious that he almost cried. He felt that this was the most difficult time in his life. The manpower attacking the city was wasting away, but he could not stop. However, if he did not stop, this would be another battle that he could not win.  Without the expense of manpower, sooner or later this battle will end with the enemy's counterattack and your own disastrous defeat.  Among the officials of the Imperial Guard in the outer city, Li Daniu and Zhao Dapeng have the highest official positions, so they naturally become the backbone of everyone.  But there is nothing to criticize about these two people fighting and charging, but it is futile for them to come up with a solution in such a critical situation.He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, watching the sun gradually setting in the west and having no idea what to do.  "Master Li, Zhao Qianhu, the ladies of Zhenguo Palace have sent a message, asking you to take people to Yongding Gate to meet them." A Jin Yiwei personal guard who was assigned to guard the Song family members at Zhenguo Palace  The flying cavalry arrived and found Li and Zhao who were wandering around to report.  Li Daniu said in astonishment: "Ladies of the Zhenguo Palace? Aren't they in the palace? How come they ran outside Yongding Gate? How did you protect them?" The guard said helplessly: "We can't do anything when they leave the city.  I can follow you for protection. But" "Stop talking, Zhao Qianhu, just keep an eye on me here. I will take two hundred brothers to help. The safety of the ladies is not a trivial matter. If they are caught by the enemy soldiers from the outer city, then  But the trouble is big. "Although Zhao Dapeng was very depressed that Mr. Song's family members were causing trouble at this time, he also knew that they must ensure their safety. If Mr. Song's family members were captured, everything would be over. Mr. Song was out of the picture.  The famous protector of the family pampered his wife and concubines, and the Duke of Zhen changed from a ferocious tiger to a gentle lamb as soon as he returned to the house. Thousands of households in his personal guard camp had witnessed these things many times.  "Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly, go quickly, bring my fire gun guards with you, more than a thousand people can deal with it." Zhao Dapeng said hurriedly.  Li Daniu quickly gathered two hundred guardsmen from the Fire Gun Riding School, and galloped south along Yongdingmen Street, heading straight for Yongdingmen, the south gate of the capital.
