The result of reflection was that Li Yanzhao, the core of the "hardliner", went to Eunuch Wei for a conviction, and Anguoji Temple, Shimazu Heihachiro and others were scolded.

If it weren't for the upcoming Kanto special exercise, I was worried that the replacement of commanders would affect the morale of the military, and I was afraid that the angry Eunuch Wei would have begun to purge the hardliners.

After that, Li Yanzhao, Anguosi and others, who were warned, began to give up the "expansion" they originally advocated and focused all their attention on the Kanto exercise.

This is also their chance to make meritorious contributions due to crimes.

However, Song Xiance, who rushed to Jinzhou from Juehua Island several days later, changed Li Yanzhao's mind.

Song Xiance had just obtained reliable information from the military police, and the inner court was carrying out a conspiracy, and almost all the literati and supervisors were involved.

Song Xiance also claimed that the conspiracy was supported by the cabinet chief Fang Congzhe, and Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was also involved. At the same time, the most important point was that this conspiracy was approved by the Prince of the East Palace.

Li Yanzhao believed in it without doubt. This senior general of the Imperial Army, who was brought from a humble person to the heavy responsibility of the commander-in-chief of the army by Eunuch Wei, has always been an unswerving "conspiracy theorist".

All this only comes from the fact that the inner court has always been a conspiracy, and the eunuchs holding military power in the history of this dynasty have never had a good ending.

And the fact that Li Yanzhao can have today is completely reused by Eunuch Wei.

"To be honest, Director Song, I had been worried about the current situation a long time ago. I tried to advise my father-in-law to prepare in advance and to use force to solve the stupidity and enemies within those empires when necessary. However, my father-in-law was unwilling to use this as a solution, which made me powerless." Li Yanzhao said truthfully.

Song Xiance took a fan, nodded, and said, "But Chief Li must understand that some things must be taken on their own initiative as subordinates."

"I would like to ask Director Song for advice on this!"

Li Yanzhao has rich experience in combat formations, and he is also the only senior general in the Imperial Army who fully understands and implements the military and political thoughts of Eunuch Wei. Some of the courses of the military and political training classes within the early Imperial Army were even edited by Li Yanzhao.

But this military commander has a fatal weakness, that is, he is good at fighting in large armies and is stronger than politics, but he lacks a decisive spirit or a strategic vision.

To be precise, Li Yanzhao didn't know how to concreteize his ideas.

Song Xiance's arrival made up for Li Yanzhao's shortcomings and the weaknesses of the hardliners. Although he had only been to Liaodong for three months, he won unanimous praise from the Imperial Army and had a very military advisor style.

Under Song Xiance's planning, the hardliners who had already stopped took action again, but this time they were not senior generals, but grassroots officers.

The first person to write a letter to the base camp was Kumamoto Daiki. He told the base camp through his own personal experience that other troops in the empire seemed to be hostile to the imperial army, and that they had actually posed a threat to the imperial army.

"My subordinates were despised as eunuchs by the soldiers who closed the door. They did not even allow my people to approach the door. They said that we were rebels who had not received orders from the court. Instigated by these people, the people near the door of the door also began to be wary of us. They were no longer the previous military, civilians, fishing waters, but were in conflict with us.

As a soldier, as an excellent soldier in an empire, as a soldier who always takes it as his responsibility to protect the people, I am deeply uneasy about this situation.”

"After the exercise officially began, I was worried that stupid hostile soldiers would open fire at us. Then, under the layers of constraints of the base camp and the military command, as the commander on the front line, my actions were also restricted.

If things really come to that point, I would like to ask the military headquarters whether Kumamoto brigade can fight back!"

More and more news about the imperial army began to spread, such as the rebellious group headed by the Zu family in Jinzhou, such as the discovery of a large number of rumors targeting the imperial army in Gaizhou, such as the Mongolians in Hexi began to gather purposefully, such as the Governor of Ji Liao ordered the mobilization of troops in Baoding, Tianjin, Changping and other places to assemble to Shanhaiguan.

Song Xiance, who had received support from the commander-in-chief of the First Army, began to greet each regiment behind his back, with the same content, which was to ask each regiment to prepare for the protection of the admiral and the eunuch.

Obviously, Song Xiance's behavior did not receive the consent of Eunuch Wei, so when someone secretly reported the situation to him, Eunuch Wei was very angry.

However, for some reason, Eunuch Wei did not order Song Xiance to deal with it.

This situation seemed to convey another message, and the hardliners became more and more excited. They also always believed that their original intention was good. They were not trying to provoke civil strife in the empire, but they hoped to effectively shock the opposition forces in the empire's capital and ensure that their leaders would not lose power due to the struggles in the court and the filth in the palace.

Most importantly, the hardliners hope to fight for their glory and reward from the empire by showing their strength.

The imperial court has been reluctant to reward Pingnu of the Imperial Army, which has also led to some grassroots officers' propositions of hardliners.

Especially the rumors that they will be sacked by the court.

This made the officers and soldiers unable to tolerate and accept it!

The propositions of some tough expansion officers of the Jibiao are even more exaggerated. They said that if the court is sorry to Eunuch Wei and the soldiers of the Imperial Army, they will directly fight Shanhaiguan to occupy the capital and resolve them all north of the Yellow River.

"As long as it is not usurping the throne, there is no question of whether to expand or not."

Anguo Temple, who had contacted Song Xiance again, also made such a tough statement to his subordinates, "No one or any force in the empire is allowed to target Lord Lord and the Imperial Army! If such a thing happens, the Fifth Division will march justly and punish those people for their violence. As the division commander, I have made up my mind and formulated a plan to use troops. Please follow me no matter what!"

According to secret statistics from the military police, former Japanese officers, former Jurchen officers, and some North Korean and Mongolian officers all tend to expand, while those from local empires are half to half.

But even though the hardliners made the storm even harder, the supreme leader Eunuch Wei still ignored it.

The military headquarters also continued to promote the large exercise until the exercise officially began.

This also disappointed the hardliners. The commander of the Anguo Temple Division at this moment was very regretful and disappointed.

After regaining his mood, the loyal and dedicated division commander still instructed the Watanabe staff to contact the brigades to ensure that no soldiers accidentally entered Shanhaiguan, so as not to cause unnecessary impact.

The exercises continued, and the military headquarters showed no signs of expansion.

However, on the third day of the exercise, the military headquarters received a news that it was the empire’s empress Bintian!
Chapter completed!
