The Governor's Office of the Five Army was the center of the imperial army at the beginning of the country and ruled all the imperial army. However, the Tumen Changes during the Zhengtong period of the Empire killed a large number of heroes and honors who were ranked in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, making it impossible for the Governor's Office of the Five Army to become the leader in the capital defense war, which directly led to the Ministry of War represented by Yu Qian completely replacing the Governor's Office of the Five Army to become the highest institution for the management of the Imperial Army.

Due to his highly concentrated military power, Yu Qian has a high prestige in the army. "On weekdays, military affairs are all based on moderation, and from the generals, they all obey and follow the words and listen to them."

By this dynasty, the weak Five Army Governor's Office even lost the appointment power of the officials of the Dushi Guard Office. The local army had no right to interfere in the training, because the military situation was handled by the governors, generals and their subordinates. They had no superiors and subordinates with the Five Army Governor's Office, and did not need to report to the Five Army Governor's Office, but directly reported the situation to their superiors or court.

However, the Governor's Office of the Five Army still had the final power, that is, the power to command the military in the Beijing camp. Although a considerable number of officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp actively supported the reform due to reasonable persuasion, many troops of the Beijing camp, which had more than 100,000 officers and soldiers, were still skeptical about the reform, and they obeyed the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

The British Duke, the head of the honorary minister, was the governor of the rear army of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. This position was conducive to the British Duke's promotion to the Beijing camp.

Therefore, the Governor's Office of the Five Army is another important target of attack after the Cabinet and the Ministry of War.

The 4th Cavalry Battalion was surrounded and blocked by the Governor's Office of the Five Army. This was the only unit that was not affiliated with the Fifth Division to participate in the operation tonight. They were affiliated with the special mixed army corps of the personal army, and the commander was Liu Zhaosun, the son of the famous general Liu Jing.

Liu Zhaosun, who was in Yongping to monitor the troops and horses of Jizhen, did not receive orders from the military headquarters and for some unspeakable reasons, did not participate in the special operations against the capital. However, he sent a cavalry brigade to the Fifth Division.

The commander was Jiang Keyi, a native of the Han Dynasty in Liaodong, Jurchen. He first helped the imperial army conquer Xiaodianbao during the Kuandian Attack War. He then officially joined the imperial army and made his mark in the battle of Phoenix Mountain in Korea.

After leading his troops to Nanyuan, Jiang Keyi was very unclear about the specific dynamics of the Fifth Division, and he did not receive specific instructions from the corps commander. Therefore, when some people from the Fifth Division privately found him and asked to go alone, Jiang Keyi, who was afraid that this would make him be punished for disobeying the military order, flatly refused.

But what he didn't expect was that the three squadron leaders of his subordinates had formed an agreement with the conspirators of the Fifth Division behind his back. Just two hours ago, these guys forced the captain to pull him up from the bed, then forced him to take the war horse, forcibly demanding that he lead his troops into Beijing City. After that, this is the scene now.

The guards stationed at the Governor's Office of the Five Army were just guards sent by the Bingmasi. Faced with the sudden encirclement of fierce cavalry, these guards asked instinctively and handed over their swords and spears.

"Then, it's not a bit inappropriate to go in like this. Why not talk to the responsible officials inside and try to allow them to actively participate in the reform?"

Even though he was forced to participate in the reform, Jiang Keyi's inertial loyalty to the empire made him dare not offend anyone in the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

"Your Excellency, you were not so weak before!"

"How can you accomplish great things if you hesitate so much!"

“…”

The squadron leader below, including the combat staff of the brigade, expressed indignation at the brigade's words and deeds.

"Then let it be, but no killing is allowed."

Jiang Keyi still has his own bottom line. He doesn't want his troops to attack anyone in the capital.

At this time, news came that the Kyoko Factory area had been occupied and controlled.

"Your Excellency, the powerful people have been controlled. The damn Duke has been punished by heaven. I heard that the people from the Fifth Division have already attacked the palace. If we are not moving faster, all the credits will be snatched away by the Fifth Division!"

The combat staff officer Bao family led a team of soldiers into the rush without saying a word. They thought there might be some resistance inside. After all, the Governor's Office of the Five Army was a military institution, but they didn't expect that all the people inside gathered and sent two people to tell the reform officers and soldiers that they were not only willing to support the reform, but also willing to coordinate and command the Beijing camp to participate in the reform.

The two representatives are Liang Qinghong, the assistant general of the former military governor's office, and Zhang Tongfang, the general general of the Central Military Governor's office. These two people also have hereditary positions in Qianhu, the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei.

"If you cooperate well, we will report your attitude truthfully."

The Bao family knew very well that although the capital was in chaos now, there were still many hostile forces. If the two officials of the Governor's Office in front of them were really willing to help the Imperial Army to reform as they said, it would be of great value.

"Combination, cooperation should have been in a long time ago. Look at this country, all the big headscarves, how can we fight for the warriors!"

Liang Qinghong turned out to be a hidden anti-civilian faction, and he looked eager to try it out.

Although Zhang Tongfang didn't say a word, he silently asked someone to bring over the Beijing camp list and garrison situation controlled by the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

"How do we know if you are sincere?"

Although Jiang Keyi did not support his subordinates' radical actions, since his troops had entered Beijing, he still had to succeed, otherwise things would be in great trouble.

"Everyone, we have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time!"

Liang Qinghong frankly told Jiang Keyi and others that he had been paying attention to the trends of his own army and was dissatisfied with the court's suspicion and suppression of his own army out of thin air.

"Please believe that all the personnel of the Governor's Office of the Five Army support this operation!"

Liang Qinghong and Zhang Tongfang clasped their fists at the same time.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Keyi, Bao Jiaxian and his three squadron leaders discussed it and felt that they could boldly believe Liang and Zhang. If they could instigate some of the Beijing camp officers and soldiers who were waiting and watching to participate in the reform, they would not only reduce the pressure on the Fifth Division, but also increase the reform force to obtain a more favorable situation.

"yes,"

Jiang Keyi nodded. Although the Fifth Division is known as 40,000 troops, it is definitely less than half of the reform forces that can be used. After entering the city, these half of them will have to distribute at least one unit to monitor the Beijing camp that refuses to cooperate. There are hundreds of targets to attack and control. The Fifth Division is short of troops.

"Have you thought it through clearly? If you know your choice very well, then I would like to represent the Imperial Army to welcome you to participate in the reform!"

After being recognized by the reform officers and soldiers, Liang Qinghong and Zhang Tongfang immediately sent people to carry relevant seals from the Governor's Office and operate separately under the escort of the Imperial Army.

Facts have proved that these two idle staff from the Governor's Office of the Five Army really played a huge role in the Wanli Restoration. I don't know what rhetoric they used or what temptations they used. In less than an hour after dawn, nearly 20,000 officers and soldiers stationed in the Beijing camp of three city gates responded to the reform.

He also quickly contacted the Fifth Division, the main force of the reform, and successively surrounded and disarmed the troops of the three cities in the west, north and middle. Even Liang Qinghong and a general from the Beijing camp led nearly 2,000 officers and soldiers to the Xihuamen of the Imperial City, preparing to forcibly seize the gate.

.............

In the minds of the reform officers and soldiers, Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, was not only an important minister of the empire, but also a spokesperson for the corrupt and powerful people.

In the minds of some officers and soldiers, it was this chief minister who had been deceived by the emperor, which led to the court's constant suspicion and suppression of the imperial army.

Therefore, the Prime Minister is obviously the number one traitor.

The troops responsible for solving the Chief Supervisor were Kumamoto's brigade, which was praised as the "flower of the personal army" by the Admiral Eunuch Wei Liangchen. The brigade dispatched 450 people and carried 290 flintlock muskets.

Shin-shi, Kumamoto's brigade arrived at Fang Congzhe's mansion. The first squadron broke directly into the courtyard, while the second squadron was at the gate to guard the police.

They were strongly resisted by the Chief Guard and rushed in after a half-incense stick of fire.
