Chapter 174: Zhu Tianzi, the murderer(2/4)

"

Zhang Mao seemed to have an impression, nodded slightly and said: "Then what are you doing?"

Ding Zhao looked at Zhang Mao and said tremblingly: "Old Duke, something bad has happened. Changxing Marquis Feng Hai led the Xiaoyong camp to the capital overnight and rushed towards the imperial city. The younger one sneaked away while Feng Hai and the others were not paying attention.

Come out and see the Duke."

Zhang Mao's whole body swayed when he heard this, and his eyesight went dark. If the soldiers and generals around him hadn't supported him, Zhang Mao would have fallen to the ground.

"Old Duke, old Duke..."

Zhang Lun, who was originally seeing off his grandfather, heard the commotion and hurried over, and when he came over, he happened to hear what Ding Zhao said.

Zhang Lun's expression changed drastically, and he stepped forward quickly, just in time to see his grandfather's face pale, with fear and anger in his eyes.

Suddenly, Zhang Mao was filled with anger, and said angrily: "Feng Hai, I will kill you even if I risk my life."

As he spoke, Zhang Mao said to Zhang Lun: "Lun'er, take grandpa's seal immediately and go..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Mao couldn't help but frown. He originally wanted Zhang Lun to go to the capital camp to mobilize troops, but he thought that without the Ministry of War's official document and the cabinet seal, it was impossible to mobilize troops, let alone Zhang Lun.

Even if he rushes to the capital camp in person, he may not be able to mobilize troops to enter the capital.

But soon a stern look flashed in Zhang Mao's eyes, and he said fiercely: "Lun'er, take all the soldiers and servants in the mansion and go to the imperial city to escort me."

Zhang Mao then said: "Immediately send someone to inform Duke Cheng, Marquis Ningyang and others, and ask them to dig out their wealth and rush to protect His Majesty. Your Majesty must not get into trouble, and the Ming Dynasty must not be in chaos."

As he spoke, Zhang Mao strode out of the mansion, took the reins of the war horse from the general next to him, immediately got on the horse, jerked off the horse, and headed straight for the capital camp.

When Zhang Lun saw this, he stamped his feet and shouted at some of the generals: "What are you doing here? Why don't you go and protect grandpa? If anything happens, I'll chop off your heads."

Immediately some of the generals mounted their horses and followed Zhang Mao.

And Zhang Lun shouted: "Quick, gather all the servants in the house and follow me to escort him."

Here Zhang Mao ran all the way straight to the capital camp.

For the Twelve Regiment Camps, Zhang Mao did not go to several other places, but came to the Four Yong Camps. The Four Yong Camps were Zhang Mao's most influential regiment camp.

There were several other regiments and camps that Zhang Mao could not mobilize even with his dignity as a duke.

But the Four Brave Battalions can give it a try. Of course, they have to mobilize troops into the city, which is also very difficult.

When Zhang Mao entered the Siyong camp, late at night, when all the officers were woken up by the soldiers and rushed to the commander's tent one by one, cursing, Zhang Mao was talking to a white-faced eunuch and supervisor.

This supervisory army is naturally the person who sits in the army on behalf of the emperor. He seems to have little sense of existence, but his power is terrifying.

Zhang Mao didn't have any official document on troop mobilization, so in this case he had to convince the supervisor first, and then all the generals. Otherwise, even if Zhang Mao had great ability, it would be difficult

How many people are taken away?

Cheng Wei screamed at Zhang Mao: "Old Duke, our family respects you as the Duke of the current dynasty, but you don't have the emperor's edict, and you don't have the Ministry of War's official documents, so you came here with empty words and wanted to mobilize the army into the city.

Is it your brain that is broken, or ours?"

If we were to do other things, facing Zhang Mao, Cheng Wei would not dare to talk to Zhang Mao like this even though he was a supervisor. But who made what Zhang Mao said was too shocking.

You want to mobilize a large army into the city. What do you want to do? Do you want to bring everyone together to seek death?

Cheng Wei hasn't lived enough yet. If he really agrees to Zhang Mao, then he will be dragged out by the emperor and cut into pieces.

His duty is to keep an eye on the army for the emperor. No one can touch it without will.

Zhang Mao Ze angrily said to Cheng Wei: "Cheng Wei, listen carefully, Changxing Marquis Feng Hai has rebelled. He has brought the Xiaoyong camp into the city now. If I wait too late, I'm afraid your Majesty..."

Several military generals hurried over, and when they entered the tent, they saw Cheng Wei and the British Duke Zhang Mao arguing.

After listening to a few words, these generals finally understood what was going on.

At first I didn't pay much attention to it, but the more I listened, the more cold sweat began to form on everyone's forehead.

One was put down by the news of Changxing Hou's rebellion, and the other was frightened by Zhang Mao's move to mobilize troops to the capital.

Even if the Marquis of Changxing rebelled, they would not be able to leave their base, let alone enter the capital, without an order to mobilize troops or an imperial edict from the emperor.

At this time, almost all the generals in the army had arrived. They looked at the furious Zhang Mao and pointed at Cheng Wei and yelled: "Cheng Wei, your majesty trusts you so much in vain to let you supervise the army. Now that your majesty is in trouble, you

Are we going to sit back and do nothing?"

Cheng Wei also said: "Our family is loyal to His Majesty, that's why we don't allow you, old lord, to send troops into the city. Otherwise, our family will betray His Majesty's trust."

Regardless of whether they stand from Cheng Wei's point of view or Zhang Mao's point of view, there is actually nothing wrong with either of them.

One is anxious to bring troops and horses to Beijing to rescue the emperor, while the other is worried about anyone who deploys troops without authorization and resolutely fulfills his duty to help the emperor keep his troops in good condition.

Zhang Mao suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist. Under Cheng Wei's shocked gaze, he placed the long sword across Cheng Wei's neck and said, "Come here, tie him up for me!"

Cheng Wei reacted and couldn't help but became furious, and said to Britain: "Zhang Mao, if you want to rebel, our family is the supervisor of the army, you..."

Zhang Mao directly ordered people to gag Cheng Wei's mouth, and then several soldiers quickly tied up Cheng Wei.

At this time, Zhang Mao stared at the generals in the big tent with burning eyes and shouted: "Listen to me, the Marquis of Changxing has rebelled, and your majesty is in trouble. We and other ministers should die for your majesty. Today, I risk the world."

It's too bad to force everyone to send troops with me. If the court investigates you later, I will bear the responsibility alone."

As he spoke, Zhang Mao's eyes filled with murderous intent swept over the generals. Everyone Zhang Mao saw lowered their heads and did not dare to speak out in opposition.

Anyone can see that Zhang Mao has made up his mind to lead troops to Beijing. Even the opposing supervisor Cheng Wei has been captured. If any of them dare to stand up at this time, they may be in trouble.

Being killed by Zhang Mao would shock people.

Seeing the reactions of the generals, Zhang Mao shouted: "Since you have no objection, then bring troops and horses to me and go to the capital to protect me."

The Fourth Guards Camp in Tengxiang was stationed some distance away from the imperial city. Under the protection of Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao and others ran all the way, followed by Feng Hai leading the troops of Xiaoyong Camp in hot pursuit.

The distance between the original army and Li Huan and the others gradually widened. After all, Li Huan and the others only had one horse per man, and there were only a very small number of horse soldiers in the Xiaoyong camp.

The only ones who can really catch up are the hundreds of cavalry with Feng Hai as the core, but the number of hundreds is quite large, at least several times more than Li Huan and the others.

In addition, these cavalrymen, armed with powerful crossbows and fire muskets, attacked from behind from time to time, so Li Huan and others could only keep rushing towards the direction of the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp.

Tengyang Fourth Guards Camp Station

Gu Dayong left the palace and did not return to the Royal Horse Prison Yamen, but went directly to the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp.

In fact, the previous encounter made Gu Dayong feel so insecure that he subconsciously wanted to stay in the military camp.

In the dead of night, Gu Dayong had gone to bed early. He had not had a good night's sleep these days. Now that he was fine, he could have a good rest.

Just after he fell asleep, a young eunuch hurried over and shouted to Gu Dayong: "General Manager, General Manager, hurry up, hurry up, your Majesty is here!"

Gu Dayong, who was sleeping in a daze, vaguely heard the word "Your Majesty" and sat up from the bed. Then he reacted and stared at the little eunuch and said, "Your Majesty? Where is your Majesty?"

The little eunuch said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is being hunted and will arrive at the camp soon. Please hurry up and bring someone to greet you."

Gu Dayong jumped up from the bed, with a look of horror on his face. He didn't even bother to put on his shoes. He ran out of the room with bare feet and shouted: "Come here, come here, give me a fight quickly."

Drum and gather troops."

Following Gu Dayong's order, the originally silent Tengxiang Left Guard Camp was broken by the sound of drums. A large number of soldiers began to wake up from their sleep, and then cursed and relied on instinct to gather at the school ground.

The Tengxiang Four Guards are divided into Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wuxiang Left Guard, and Wuxiang Right Guard. These four camps are collectively called the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp.

The Tengxiang Left Guard is the most combat-effective battalion of the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion, so Gu Dayong stayed overnight at the Tengxiang Left Guard. Naturally, it was the Tengxiang Left Guard who was summoned at this time.

There are about six thousand elite soldiers in Tengxiang's left guard. They are all warriors selected from the best in the army. Compared with the Beijing camp, they can definitely be regarded as elite.

Even so, if we really have to wait until all the soldiers of Tengxiang's left guard are gathered to return, it may not take more than half an hour.

At this time, Gu Dayong had already ordered Qi Xianguo, the commander of Tengxiang's left guard, to order the first thousand soldiers and horses to go with him to meet him, and the rest of the troops were handed over to the deputy commander.

Feng Hai led hundreds of his elite men to chase behind him from a distance, with a crazy look in his eyes.

Both Feng Hai and Fei Hong knew that the Emperor and his entourage were heading towards the Tengyang Fourth Guards Camp.

If the Emperor and others were allowed to enter the camp, even if all his soldiers were willing to fight for him, they might not be able to break through the camp of Tengxiang Four Guards Camp, let alone capture the Emperor.

"Chase, let me chase them. If you catch those people, I will give you a big reward."

At first, these soldiers had no idea that the target they were attacking was actually the Emperor Luan Jia. When they realized it, they had already boarded the pirate ship. Even if they wanted to regret it, it was too late.

The hundreds of people who are following Feng Hai now can be said to be the people in the entire Xiaoyong camp who are willing to follow Feng Hai all the way to the dark side and give it a try.

After all, they were guilty of treason. Even if they chose to lay down their weapons and surrender at this time, it would be a dead end. It would be better to follow what Feng Hai, Fei Hong and the others encouraged and work hard, maybe they could become a slave.

Where is my minister?

The outline of the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp can be seen from a distance, and you can even see the dancing firelight in the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp. It is obvious that the Tengxiang Fourth Guards Camp has received the news and is gathering troops.

.

Feng Hai and Fei Hong looked at each other, with a hint of despair in their eyes.

Li Huan, Zhu Houzhao and others had already rushed to the camp gate. At this time, the entrance to the camp was blocked by a barrage of horses. Several soldiers guarding the camp gate looked at the roaring cavalry in horror.

Li Huan shouted loudly: "Open the camp gate quickly!"

It was at this time that Gu Dayong came over with his commander Qi Xianguo and a group of soldiers and horses, and heard Li Huan's shout from a distance.

Gu Dayong was originally extremely worried about the emperor's safety, but suddenly he heard Li Huan's cry and knew that Li Huan was with the emperor, so the emperor must be fine, and he felt relieved.

"Open the camp gate quickly!"

Gu Dayong shouted loudly.
