The day before Wang Zhi attacked, Jiang Yifan rushed to Beijing. After meeting Feng Qi, he learned about the situation of coming to the capital during this period, and rushed to Gubeikou to report to Li Yanzhi about his experiences and demerits of going south.

He had left for half a day. If he had stayed in Beijing for the night that day, he might not have left the next day. Half a day after he arrived at Gubeikou, the first official document from the Ministry of War also arrived, but he asked him to transfer some troops into Xishan. Li Yan asked what happened. The people from the Ministry of War said that there was a mutiny from the king outside the city, and the Ministry of War was cautious, so he had this order.

When Li Yanzhi heard this, he quickly ordered Qi Jiguang to guard Gubeikou, but he raised all his elite troops and prepared to go to Beijing. During this period, he and Qi Jiguang continued to select good soldiers from the Beijing army, the royal army, the rebel army and the prisoners. He had trained an elite cavalry of more than 3,000 people in previous actual combat. The second-class war-captive troops had more than 6,000 people, all of whom were able to fight. They were not just an empty shell. With these nine thousand people in hand, Li Yanzhi had much confidence. This time, he issued an order and picked out more than 20,000 people with better discipline, combined with 30,000 troops to enter Beijing, and the other troops were all under Qi Jiguang's command.

Qi Jiguang was puzzled when he saw Li Yanzhi's promising campaign, so he asked: "Although the Ministry of War's official documents did not say the specific troops entering the capital, it was basically three to five thousand people, and he did not say that he wanted to supervise you to lead the troops into the capital in person. If you bring so many people there, I am afraid you will be afraid of meeting you."

His words were kind-hearted. Li Yan heard it very well, but shook his head and said, "Yuan Jing, you know that you saw the official documents of the Ministry of War, but you didn't see things that the Ministry of War had never seen before! If we had done everything according to the Ministry of War's order during this period, I'm afraid the situation in the capital would be out of control! The capital will be in great danger, and the Ministry of War is still so easy to fix, it's really slow!"

Qi Jiguang hurriedly said, "Jiguang is ignorant, please ask the military commander to make it clear." In fact, this is not because he is really ignorant, but because he has far less information than Li Yanzhi.

Li Yanzhi smiled slightly, thinking about how to tell him, suddenly a horse ran over outside the camp, but this time it was an imperial edict directly from the cabinet! Li Yanzhi was already armed with his armor at this time, so he welcomed the marquis with military salutes. The imperial edict was very simple, and the eunuch was anxious and panicked, and he didn't even put up anything in the incense table, so he issued an imperial edict: "The capital is in danger! Li Zhe quickly went to Beijing to protect his horse!"

When the generals heard the imperial edict, they were very different from the content to the writing, and hurriedly asked: "What happened to this father-in-law?"

The eunuch was so anxious that he shouted: "The capital is in a hurry! Chaoyang Gate has been captured by the thief army! The Forbidden City is also in danger! Minister Li! Come to the capital to rescue the car! Fortunately, our family has taken a step faster. If it is slower, I am afraid that even the city gate will not be able to come out!"

All the generals were shocked. When they looked at Li Yanzhi again, they all looked admirable on their faces. Qi Jiguang and others came to ask for their orders and said, "Supervisor, we are willing to follow the Supervisor to rush to the capital!"

"What are you panic!" Li Yanzhi had a long prediction about this. Although the matter was still more urgent than he expected, he did not suddenly feel panic like the generals. He ordered: "As long as the original arrangements, Yuan Jing stayed at Gubeikou, and I will suppress the rebellion in the capital! Yuan Jing stayed at Gubeikou - there are many Mongolian prisoners here, and it is absolutely inconsistency."

His troops had already been ordered, and at this time he turned over and left the camp. As soon as the army left Gubeikou, he encountered Jiajing's repeated intentions. It turned out that the emperor was a little flustered when he planned the first imperial edict. He just asked for speed. The imperial edict was not very consistent with the regulations. After he was sent out, Xu Jie was worried that if there was any accident in the capital, Li Yanzhi took the imperial edict and the official documents of the Ministry of War. He ordered Li Zhe to governor Zhili military affairs, and the military in the prefectures and counties in the capital during the war.

The important political affairs and the army still stranded in the capital were also under the command of Li Zhe. The army walked thirty miles away and received seven gold medals from the capital one after another. Three of them were to increase the titles of Li Yanzhi and his subordinates, while the four urged him to advance quickly. No one else. Just looking at the nine gold medals flying in succession, you can tell how dangerous the capital was, how hurried the emperor was, and how anxious the cabinet was! In fact, there was still the tenth imperial edict, but he encountered chaos on the way and failed to arrive.

Li Yanzhi did not dare to neglect and rushed the cavalry to advance. Fortunately, he had just defeated Mongolia and captured many horses. The three thousand cavalrymen who led the way had two to three horses, and even went straight to the vicinity of the Xishan Mountain without stopping.

At this time, the You'anmen, Guang'anmen and Xibianmen in the outer city of the capital had been occupied by Wang Zhi. It turned out that after Wang Zhi defeated Qiu Luan and broke through Chaoyang Gate, the people in the capital were panic, and many short-sighted people said that the sky was about to change! At this time, the Beijing army gathered near the capital, the king-supporting troops were mostly troops with serious lack of training and loyalty. Wang Zhi had commanded one of them during the fight against Mongolia. Knowing the habits of these people, after attacking the inner city of the capital, a large number of soldiers joined. Even Qiu Luan's aide Hou Rong also surrendered with Qiu Luan's thousands of troops, and the number of troops was immediately strong! These people actually had no combat power, but the number of people was large enough to increase their power. Guang'anmen and You'anmen were all offered by such a group of surrendered troops.

When Li Yanzhi's vanguard troops arrived at Xibianmen, they saw that the defenders at the city refused to open the door. They were surprised and did not know what the situation was in the inner city imperial city. They did not dare to advance for a moment, and retreated a little, waiting for the subsequent troops to follow them.

Soon, a subordinate shouted: "A hawker came to the southeast and said it was a spy sent by the governor."

Li Yanzhi was sent to meet him.

It turned out that Wang Zhi was convinced that the army was surrendered and Hou Rong and others were fully aware of the facts of the capital. Since then, he was afraid of Li Yanzhi alone, so the city gates in the west were more important. Instead, the east was more careful. Most of the capital supplies came from the southeast, so the access to the southeast could not be completely cut off. Feng Qi sent three subordinates to pretend to be hawkers, beggars, and refugees to find a way out from the southeast, but one of them successfully left the city and came to the northwest of the capital to meet Li Yanzhi.

What Li Yanzhi needed most at this time was news in the city. He quickly dispatched the gang and took Jiang Yifan. The three of them walked to an empty and deserted place, asking: "Is the city chaotic? Is the Forbidden City broken? Did Wang Zhi have any soldiers to rob him? Have the ministers been invaded tombs? Have the people been harassed?" After asking seven or eight questions in a row, he added: "Is the Lu Mansion okay?"

The guy didn't know every question, he just answered it with the best of his knowledge.

Li Yanzhi asked many more details, and then he asked the mate to leave. When he walked away, Li Yanzhi burst into laughter. Jiang Yifan was a little strangely laughed, and then asked, "Third Master, why are you laughing like this?"

Li Yan couldn't stop laughing for a while, and after a long time, he said, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Let's station at Xishan first, and then talk about it when the subsequent troops arrive. Hehe, I know that Wang Wufeng, who wants him to be a loyal minister, cannot stand the restraint; he wants him to be a good citizen, cannot stand the poverty; he wants him to be a hero, no courage; he wants him to forget his body for the country, no measure! He wasted such a thousand-year-old opportunity!"

Jiang Yifan asked in confusion: "What is this?"

Li Yan smiled and said, "Look at it! You will know what I said is not bad!"

At that time, Wang Zhi led his troops straight to the Forbidden City. Lu Bing led the Jinyiwei and the eunuch to guard the imperial city, and he would not invade! Confrontation between inside and outside, Ding Rukui also climbed the city in the face of danger and shouted, "Who is coming! Are you really going to rebel by blocking the palace gate?"

Wang Zhi was born in a Confucian business family. After entering the sea, he was a little fierce. However, the training he received when he was young finally affected his character. He had already made up his mind. At this time, he arrived at the imperial city and saw the Minister of War, but he was a little hesitant. Mao Haifeng stepped forward and said, "We have come here, aren't we going in yet?" Wang Zhicai put the generals away and knelt down in front of the palace and cried, "The criminal Wang Zhi did not dare to be shocked. In fact, because he heard that the country had troubles, he rushed to the capital to serve the king. Xizhimen defeated Altan. It was because we fought hard, but he deceived and humiliated the corrupt officials. Qiu Luan hid in Tongzhou and had no record of war, but wanted to kill all of us and seize the rewards for his military achievements! My heart was unfair, so he risked his death to bow to the palace and begged Your Majesty to be the master and seek justice for us!"

At this time, Xu Jie also came, looked at Ding Rukui, and thought to himself: "It sounds true that he said Qiu Luan had taken away his military achievements in lieu of him. It's just that he was in a bad mood!"

Xu Jieyin said: "If Qiu Luan really did this, he would have his own Ministry of War, the Inspectorate, and the Cabinet to find out the trial. You can retreat first. The court will return you justice!"

Wang Zhi said again: "I have committed suicide this time, although I have committed a great crime to seek justice, and I am frightened. Therefore, I dared to ask Your Excellency to surrender and forgive me for not being guilty."

Xu Jie said, "Your Majesty already knows your grievances. I forgive you for being innocent. You can retreat."

Wang Zhi and Xu Weixue came when he heard him speak, and seemed too insincere. Ma Ye and Chen Dong were impatient, but shouted below: "We don't listen to you dog officials! We won't see the emperor! We won't leave!"

The thieves shouted, and Wang Zhi stopped them, but he saluted: "The criminals are begging your majesty to wait for the city tower to listen to us for justice!"

The thieves shouted, and someone started to fire bird guns again. Xu Jie was also scared. His courage was the courage in the court struggle, not the courage on the battlefield. He hurriedly avoided. The doctor of the Ministry of War King came to school and shouted: "Don't mess around! When we go first, we ask His Majesty for the order!"

Outside, Wang Zhi was in charge of his subordinates, surrounded the gates of the imperial city and collected various strongholds in the inner city. Inside, Xu Jie and others came to invite Jiajing's commander and said, "Now the bandits are in a critical situation, please ask Your Majesty to climb the city to appease him and delay for a while."

According to Jiajing's original intention, how could he go? However, the matter was critical, so he had to agree. With Yan Song and Xu Jie's support, the guards on the imperial city tower saw Huang Mian Long Gai and shouted long live the mountains. The power was extremely amazing. The king-supported troops outside the city that had already surrendered to Wang Zhi couldn't help but kneel down. At this time, it was the rule of the world. Jiajing ruled China for 30 years, and the soldiers and civilians all recognized him as the emperor. China's 2,000-year loyalty to the emperor was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the peddlers and barracks were involuntarily affected, they could not help but be affected in their hearts.

Wang Zhi was in a very complicated mood at this time. On the one hand, he knew that he was actually rebelling, but when he saw the emperor, he couldn't help but feel a little panic, and even felt a little flattered. His knees softened, and he led the crowd to kneel down and shouted: "Long live my lord!"

Jiajing was scared, but how talented he was? Although his feet were trembling after he took the stage, he could calm down his voice and ask, "Who is kneeling down?"

The king shouted: "The king of Caomin, if you have any grievances, you will complain to Your Majesty!"

Jiajing said oh, and asked, "What are the injustice?"

Wang Zhi heard the emperor's injustice and his eyes couldn't help but get wet. He didn't know whether it was excitement or touching, so he reported under the city: "Your Majesty, Wang Zhi, who was a criminal, was a citizen of She County, Huizhou Prefecture, Nanzhi. He was a young man. He was in charge of court training. In addition to seeking profits, he did not forget to study, sell goods, Zhejiang blessings, and share the benefits with others, drive barbarians to expel the enemy, and defend the border for the country. However, the court had an order to prohibit the sea, and there were defiled officials under him. I had been oppressed by him for a long time, but the poison suffered by the ban on the sea was gone. I heard that Mongolia was rampant and violated our capital. I rushed to the capital for no reason. In addition to making contributions to the country, I also received your mercy and favor from the ministers and other crimes.

, re-open the sea ban and establish a market ship, so that the people who have no land on the coast can make a living. After going north, they made many military achievements. In the battle of Xizhimen, Altan's great defeat was achieved by the death battle. However, Qiu Luan concealed and refused to report the merits, and the envoys and others were deceived and unable to reach the top. They counterfeited the imperial edicts and gave them poisonous wine, and wanted to kill all the ministers and others, but they were not wary of me. At this time, they were already unwilling to the ground! I wanted to abandon the capital and leave, but I was afraid that Your Majesty would be deceived by corrupt officials and generals, so I risked my life to commit the injustice. The emperor was kind and kind, and forgiven my ministers for their crimes. If the envoys and others were able to work hard for their dogs and horses to drive them away, I dared not sacrifice their lives to repay them and redeem them for the crime of death!"

Jiajing's head was swollen when he heard this, but fortunately, he was experienced in personnel struggles, so he immediately caught three key points: Wang Zhi wanted to open the sea ban, Wang Zhi asked for exemption from punishment, Wang Zhi hated Qiu Luan! Therefore, he snorted and said, "I think why Wang Qing's family violated the vassal for no reason? It turned out that they were all the treacherous minister Qiu Luan! Come on! The cabinet drafted an order!"

Yan Song and Xu Jie said, "I am obeying the order!"

Jiajing said, "Abstain from all positions of Qiu Luan and his family will be removed from his post." After a pause, he was afraid that these people in the city would be dissatisfied, and said, "On the day after the capture of the official position, he was taken to the Wumen Gate to ask for the beheading!"

Wang Zhi was overjoyed, and the thieves under the city cheered.

Seeing that the thieves seemed to be satisfied, Jiajing was relieved, but the thieves did not retreat, but heard Ma Ye shouting below: "Emperor, we have made military achievements at least. You can give us an official position, be bigger!" Jiajing was dizzy when he heard this and almost stood up unsteadily.

Those who have read a little book like Wang Zhi still think it is easier to deal with, but when they meet a reckless man like Ma Ye, Jiajing is completely helpless! (To be continued)
