Chapter 337 Your Excellency, it must be suppressed as soon as possible!

Before the Fifth Division entered the Beijing Restoration, the work of the Imperial Ministry of War was actually under the responsibility of Huang Jiashan, the Minister of War.

Regarding the emperor's personal army failing to obtain the imperial edict and entering Nanyuan, causing panic in the capital, Huang Jiashan and the Ministry of War believed that this was a rebellion, an act of undermining the imperial military command and unorganized and undisciplined behavior, so they set the policy of "cutting down the repression" with British Duke Weixian and others.

It was obviously not enough to suppress the troops and horses. For this reason, Huang issued a document to the Xuanfu, Henan and Shandong soldiers to Beijing in the name of the Ministry of War, and supplemented them with the Jizhen soldiers.

In the plan, the first to arrive at the capital was the Xuanfu Army, and the general of the Xuanfu Army was Hou Shilu from Yulin, who was from Shishi's position to the deputy general of Liangzhou.

After the Liao incident, the court ordered him to be the general officer of the Xuanfu Office and ordered his troops to be recruited for assistance. However, when Hou Shilu led the Xuanfu Army to Jinzhou, the Jianzhou front line reported that the Jiannu had been pacified, so he returned to Xuanfu Office on the same route. At that time, he returned with the Xuanfu Army and the Baigan soldiers who rushed to Liaodong from Shizhu, Sichuan.

A few days ago, Hou Shilu suddenly received a document from the Ministry of War and ordered him to lead his troops into the capital. However, the document did not mention why the Xuanfu soldiers entered the capital, which made Hou Shilu very puzzled.

Moreover, when the Ministry of War came out of seclusion for the Liao incident, the Ministry of War did not mobilize food and grass from the Xuanfu army, and all of them rely on the Xuanfu to raise funds. As a result, Jiannu pacified the Ministry of War and asked them to return to defense immediately, but there was still no food and grass to support them. This made the Xuanfu soldiers suffer.

There were hundreds of soldiers who were absent from the food alone along the way. After finally returning to Xuanfu, the whole country scolded the court miserably.

But as the general of Xuanfu, Hou Shilu was loyal to the court, how could he dare not accept orders?

There was no choice but to mobilize 5,000 troops to follow him to set out to the capital, but when his Xuanfu soldiers had just passed Juyong Pass and were about to enter Changping to receive grain, Changping City suddenly sent someone to say that they had not received the above documents, so they could not let Xuanfu soldiers enter the city.

Hou Shilu was so angry that he heard this. Although the Ministry of War did not mobilize food and grass for him, the official document contained the words "As long as the orders are given, the official document is "As the orders are given, the items such as the orders of the orders are given," which means that the Xuanfu soldiers can raise food and grass from prefectures and counties along the way with official documents. In this way, the soldiers will not enter the capital with hunger.

But now Changping did not accept them at all, and Hou Shilu, the general of the imperial court, did not dare to lead troops to attack the city, so he had to lead troops to "pass in the dark and night" and turn to Huairou City dozens of miles away under the kind persuasion of Changping.

Huairou City is the Jizhen city closest to Juyongguan and also the Yanqing garrison. It is indeed a lot of food and grass storage. As long as the Xuanfu soldiers arrive in Huairou, the food and grass problem should be solved. No matter how bad it is, the soldiers will always have a full meal.

But if people are unlucky, they will get stuffed with cold water. When five thousand Xuanfu soldiers arrived in Huairou at night, they were surprised to find that the soldiers of the Yanqing Guard in Jizhen, which was originally stationed here, were gone, but instead a unit called the Imperial Army stationed here.

After asking again, it was the soldiers who had just pacified Jiannu outside the pass.

The Imperial Army is not staying outside the pass, why are Run Huairou doing?

Hou Shilu, who knew nothing about the changes in the capital and outside the pass, sent someone to ask, but the other party said they didn't know either, but they just received an order from the court to garrison here.

Hou Shilu thought the other party was just as confused as he was, and he felt sorry for the same illness, so he didn't ask much, as long as the other party arranged for them the camp and food and grass.

But what they got was an unhelpful answer from the other party. The imperial army said that the food and grass in Huairou City were transferred to Miyun by the Governor of Ji Liao a few days ago. They had no food and grass now, so they could only help them because they were both imperial soldiers.

Hou Shilu was a little dizzy and was really tired of running away in the middle of the night, so he asked the other party to let them go to Huairou City to rest for a night before talking, but the other party refused to do so.

The soldiers and generals of the Xuanfu were angry. Some people shouted that they would not let them go in. As a result, when the imperial army in the city heard this, they fired guns into the sky.

The soldiers of Xuanfu immediately exhale and hung their heads and dared not do anything randomly.

Soon after the city, people were sent to say that the Xuanfu soldiers would either go to the capital on their own or go to Miyun, where the governor of Ji Liao was located.

Hou Shilu had no choice but to reach the clouds at night.

However, when Hou Shilu arrived in Miyun, he was sadly discovering that he could not enter Miyun City.

It was not that the Governor of Ji Liao in the city did not allow him to enter the city, but that the Imperial Army outside the city did not allow them to enter the city.

General Hou finally saw something was wrong. Why could he see the Lao Shizi Imperial Army wherever he went? Judging from the strict defense of Miyun City, the Imperial Army seemed to be unkind.

What happened in the court?

Hou Shilu couldn't figure it out even though he wanted to break his head. He wanted to say that the imperial army had rebelled, but the imperial army was not very friendly all the way, but did not attack their Xuanfu soldiers from beginning to end, but instead gave some "humanitarian" assistance.

Moreover, the Imperial Army outside Miyun City also gave some food to the Xuanfu soldiers and suggested that they go to Shunyi, saying that there was a station of the Imperial Army, which could provide some food and supplies for the Xuanfu soldiers.

Just like that, Hou Shilu and the hungry five thousand Xuanfu soldiers went through a difficult march and finally arrived in Shunyi City.

As a result, the city gates of Shunyi City were wide open, but General Hou was dismissed and his weapons were taken away as soon as he entered the city. The generals of Ji Town were involved in the collection of Xuanfu's weapons, such as Mangui, Heiyunlong, etc.

The soldiers from Xuanfu received an order to go to Beijing to disarm the weapons from Shunyi, seven days ago.

What's even more annoying is that the day after the Xuanfu soldiers were disarmed by the Imperial Army, a document came from the capital, saying that the Xuanfu soldiers would return to the garrison immediately.

This official document made Hou Shilu so angry that he scolded his mother on the spot.

.........

Compared with the disarmed Xuanfu soldiers, the Henan soldiers who arrived at the capital first noticed something was wrong in advance.

On the night of the reform, some rebels slipped out of the city while taking advantage of the chaos. On the way to flee, these people saw Henan soldiers who came to the capital under the orders of the Ministry of War, so they spread rumors and incited Henan soldiers to enter the capital to serve the king.

As a result, about 7,000 Henan soldiers stopped advancing in Lugou, south of the capital, and made an attack and advance towards the capital.

A cavalry squad of the Imperial Army was attacked by Henan soldiers while patrolling.

The incident was reported soon.

When Song Xiance received news that something happened to the Henan soldiers, he immediately rushed to the Reform Command to wake up Anguo Temple, which was still sleeping.

While muttering, Anguo Temple said, "I finally got started", she put on a military uniform with three bronze stars.

At the request of Song Xianke, Anguo Temple went with him to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"It cannot be ruled out that the Henan generals were encouraged by some people in the capital, otherwise they would not dare to provoke the Imperial Army!"

Song Xiance looked at Zhu Changluo in a gloomy manner, which scared Zhu Changluo his lips to his purple. The conscience of heaven and earth, his crown prince, has been very honest and loyal since he was "reformed", and has not had any abnormal movement.

Anguo Temple also said angrily: "This is an ominous act that has never been seen before. It must be quelled immediately. The empire must not be attacked by Henan soldiers!"

"Is it a misunderstanding? Why don't you send someone to explain and ask them to accept the unified dispatch of the Restoration Command?" Zhu Changluo was afraid that the two sides would fight, and it would be better for him, the Crown Prince, to be caught in it.

"No need!"

Anguo Temple pressed the command knife with one hand and pointed the other hand at the sky, angrily: "No matter whether there is any misunderstanding, the Henan soldiers attacked the imperial army without authorization, which is the essence of the national body! They killed Pingnu's heroes and reform patriots. Such a brutal army should not be forgiven regardless of their purpose!...Your Excellency, as a senior general of the Imperial Army, I will never allow any army to destroy the cause of reform. Please order this incident to be suppressed quickly! As soon as possible!"

The anger of Anguo Temple was so scared that Zhu Changluo did not dare to say anything for a long time.

The order of suppression was soon released with the blessing of His Highness the Crown Prince.
