At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 485 Sweeping the Thousand Army
"rush!"

"kill!"

Amid the shouts of killing, Beihaiwei finally broke through the blockade, and the situation on the battlefield quickly reversed.

The Oala tribe was beaten and retreated steadily, losing more than half of the [-] cavalry, and finally gave up resistance and fled northwest.

Seeing that the situation in Oala is over, Zhu Qizhen is not greedy, and orders everyone to withdraw to Orkhon City.

Cao Nai and Kuang Ye were stupefied. The war has been going on for so long, and the two of them still don't even know what happened.

After Zhu Qizhen entered the city, the first thing he did was to scold the two of them.

Naturally, Kuang Ye was full of disbelief, and said, "What the emperor said is mostly conjecture, and the old minister thinks...is there any misunderstanding in it?"

"Fucking misunderstanding?"

Zhu Qizhen was furious, pointed at Kuang Ye's nose and cursed: "The knife is already on my neck, you say it's a misunderstanding? Don't you think it's a misunderstanding when I'm killed with a knife!"

Cao Nai hastened to persuade: "The emperor calm down, that's not what Kuang Shangshu meant!"

"Humph!"

Zhu Qizhen slapped the table heavily, and said, "Tuo Tuo Bu Hua, come here!"

Tuotuobuhua waited in front of the hall, when he heard the words, he came forward and told the whole story.

The more Cao Nai and Kuang Ye listened, the more ugly their expressions became.

It never occurred to them that the information they thought they had was all wrong, and it was false news deliberately misled and spread by people with ulterior motives.

Kuang Ye was still dissatisfied, and said: "To the emperor, these are all fluffy one-sided words. Without conclusive evidence, we cannot prove its authenticity!"

Zhu Qizhen's face was gloomy and cold, and he said slowly: "Gula's rebellion and intention to kill the king are also one-sided words?"

"This……"

Kuang Ye frowned, and said, "Even if Gu La really rebelled, the crime is punishable, but it doesn't mean that there is an accomplice in the court, or a person of high authority. This matter is very involved. Please look into it clearly!"

Zhu Qizhen was so angry that he laughed. Unexpectedly, this Kuang Shangshu was quite serious.

"Wei Gula in Mobei rebelled, the Sangchi army of the Oala tribe entered the country, and the 2000 troops of the Tatar tribe marched into the hinterland of the desert without hindrance. How long are you going to hold your tongue in the face of so many facts?"

Kuang Ye thought for a long time, and said: "The old minister will return to Beijing now, and find out the truth!"

Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly and said, "Okay, go check it out!"

Kuang Ye saluted and said, "Resign, old minister!"

Cao Nai hurriedly said: "Kuang Shangshu wait a minute, if someone really rebels, I'm afraid the capital will be in danger!"

Kuang Ye said with a sullen face, "At this age, life and death have long been underestimated. If you can find out some useful information, your death will not be in vain!"

After finishing speaking, he saluted Zhu Qizhen, then turned around and retreated.

Cao Nai looked anxious, and said: "Your Majesty, do you want to send some troops to Kuang Shangshu?"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, he can't go back!"

Cao Nai was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see, he will definitely not go back!"

Zhu Qizhen chuckled lightly, and said: "I want to go back to the capital, the Qing family can help me with an idea!"

Cao Nai thought for a while and asked, "How many soldiers and horses can the emperor use now?"

"Two thousand in Mobei, one thousand in Tatar, and five thousand in Beihai."

"The old minister suggests taking the train back to Beijing in batches."

Zhu Qizhen frowned again. At this time, the chief minister of the cabinet still didn't believe that the capital had already undergone a coup.

Think about it with your heels, people will let you go back by train?

"The railway back to the capital passes through Juyongguan. This place is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If I guessed correctly, the train passing through Juyongguan has been stopped now, and there should be heavy guards here."

Cao Nai said: "If the Juyong Pass is blocked, go east to the South Pass or Gubei Pass.

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself, are you really stupid or fake?

What you can think of, others can't think of?
If Juyongguan cannot pass through, these passes must also be controlled.

"Let's go to Juyongguan!"

Zhu Qizhen clicked on the map and said: "I am going to divide the army into three groups, with Beihaiwei as the central army, and Mobeiwei and Tatar as two wings, ready to respond at any time."

Cao Nai's face was full of embarrassment, didn't you say that Juyongguan was impossible to get through?

Zhu Qizhen raised his head and asked, "Has Ming arrived?"

Yuan Bin hurriedly replied: "Back to the emperor, the Marquis of Beihai is currently in the armory, checking the equipment in the city."

Zhu Qizhen nodded. The soldiers in the capital are strong and the ammunition is sufficient. Now he only has a third-rate base like Orkhon City, so the equipment and ammunition in the city is particularly important.

Ha Ming is very experienced, and he took control of the armory as soon as he entered the city.

But having said that, I haven't seen Ha Ming for some years since he stayed in Beihaiwei.

"Tutuobuhua, Atulu!"

The two hurried forward to salute, and said in unison: "The minister is here!"

Zhu Qizhen looked at the two of them and said, "You two go to the armory to look for Ha Ming, and equip yourself with weapons and equipment first, but... your soldiers and horses are not good at firearms, so for now they mainly focus on knives and bows."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

The two bowed and retreated, and went to find Ha Ming for equipment. Usak hurriedly followed and asked, "Brother-in-law, are you going to see General Ha Ming?"

Arturu nodded and said, "Exactly!"

"Take me!"

Hearing that the idol was in the city, Usak was very excited.

Artulu glanced at him and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go!"

"I know!"

At the same time as the three rushed to the armory, Qi Qike was escorted to Zhu Qizhen.

"Long live the guilty minister kowtow to my emperor!"

Looking at the shackles on her hands and feet, Zhu Qizhen was really angry and funny.

"How did you get yourself like this?"

Qiqike was still very strong, but now he suddenly wanted to cry, and hot tears rolled in his eyes.

"Come here, untie her!"

Zhu Qizhen gave an order, and immediately someone took the key and was ready to unlock it.

"Your Majesty, no!"

At this time, it was Cao Nai who stood up again and stretched out his hand to stop him.

"This person is suspected of treason, and he can't be let go before the matter is clarified!"

Zhu Qizhen asked: "How did she rebel?"

"She...she is..."

Cao Nai was stunned suddenly, yes, how did she plot rebellion?
Now that I think about it carefully, Gula found out about Qiqike's rebellion. Both the witnesses and the evidence seem to be related to Gula.

If Gula is the traitor, then Qiqike is likely to be framed!
Zhu Qizhen didn't bother to explain to him, and waved: "Let him go!"

"Yes!"

With two clicks, the shackles on Xiqike's hands and feet were released, and he immediately felt a burst of relief.

"The emperor's kindness and virtue, the criminal minister Xiqike will never forget it!"

"I only believe in this life, not in the afterlife. If you have anything to say, let's make it clear now."

Qi Qike thought for a while and said: "I only work for the emperor in this life, no matter what the emperor asks, I will never frown!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Don't rush to say this, I'm asking you, how did you lose Mobeiwei?"

Qi Qike was ashamed immediately, and said: "I am incompetent, I was seized by Gula, and I am willing to be punished by the emperor!"

"It's not a big deal for you to be seized of power. These people turned their heads and pointed their guns at me. Do you still think that you, the commander of the Mobei Guard, are very competent?"

"I dare not..."

Qi Qike knelt down on the ground, bowed his head low, and said: "I have failed the emperor's trust!"

"As long as you know!"

Zhu Qizhen sighed, and said: "From now on, you will be removed from the post of commander of Mobei Guard, and Arturu will be in charge of Mobei Guard from now on."

Qiqike showed disappointment on his face, but then he gave a wry smile and said, "I... obey the order!"

Over the years, she has devoted herself to running Mobei, cleaning up the mess left behind, and seeing everything here gradually getting better, but...

It can only be said that life is impermanent and things are unpredictable!
The last stone in Zhu Qizhen's heart was relieved when this woman was removed from her post.

From then on, Mobeiwei and the Yexian family had nothing to do with each other.

The wind and snow blew for two days and finally stopped.

8000 people marched out of the city in a mighty force, heading south all the way.

Zhu Qizhen rode in the front on horseback, followed by Ha Ming and Yuan Bin, and twenty Jinyiwei who sneaked out from the capital with him.

Who will cut and carve thousands of piles of snow on the flat ground into this smallpox.

Looking around, there is a vast expanse of whiteness in the field of vision, and the sky and the earth are completely uniform.

With this situation, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, how can such a great river and mountain not be nostalgic?
When Emperor Taizong made the Northern Expedition, he probably felt the same way!
"Report!"

The scouts in front flew to report: "Kuang Shangshu and his entourage are asking to see you!"

Zhu Qizhen seemed to be prepared long ago, and said, "Let them come over."

"Yes!"

Not long after, Kuang Ye rushed over on a horse.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, the big thing is not good!"

"Don't get excited, Qing family, what happened?"

"The railway was blocked at Juyongguan, and the trains could not pass!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly and asked, "Did the imperial court send heavy troops to guard?"

Kuang Ye nodded and said, "Yes, that's right."

Zhu Qizhen said again: "Should I stop you and not let you pass?"

"Yes!"

Kuang Ye was very puzzled and asked, "How does the emperor know?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled but did not answer, and continued to ask: "Did they not say why they cut off the railway and stationed troops in Juyongguan?"

"said!"

Kuang Ye nodded vigorously, but his face became hesitant: "That's right, this..."

"What about this and that, just say what you have to say!"

"Yes Yes……"

Kuang Ye gritted his teeth and said, "The defender of the city is the governor Yang Jun, who claims that the emperor has...already..."

"What's wrong with me?"

"He said that the emperor... died!"

Kuang Ye felt cold sweat on his forehead, the emperor was alive and well, but that Yang Jun said that the emperor was gone, isn't he looking for death!

After hearing this, Zhu Qizhen didn't pay much attention to it, because he had already foreseen this ending.

"Is there any news about the capital?"

"Then Yang Jun said that the ministers are planning for His Royal Highness to ascend the throne!"

Zhu Qizhen knew this routine very well. He himself succeeded to the throne at the age of seven and a half, and now it was his son's turn.

How can a child know what the emperor is? He can only play every day. All kinds of memorials and secret letters are all entered into the cabinet, and the power in the world will also be transferred accordingly.

This group of people was too cunning. They found that their emperor was out of their control, so they tried every means to get a new emperor.

Of course, the new emperor must be young, usually in his teens, preferably less than ten years old.

Because the younger the emperor, the younger he is, the easier it is to be controlled by the cabinet.

"The Qing family will go back to Orkhon City first, and wait for news from me!"

"According to the order!"

After receiving the imperial edict, Kuang Ye couldn't help asking: "Why does the emperor need the veteran to go back?"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Supply, food and grass!"

Fighting a war requires logistical support. The more difficult a battle is, the more resources will be consumed in the end.

Today's battle is to capture Juyongguan, but Juyongguan is easy to defend and difficult to attack. If there is no sufficient material support, it will be difficult to capture.

Both Kuang Ye and Cao Nai had followed him on his own expeditions, and letting them be responsible for the logistics and food supplies made the best use of them.

However, Kuang Ye couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the mighty crowd.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "What do you want to say?"

Kuang Ye said in a low tone, "Juyongguan is known as the most dangerous pass in the world. I am afraid that the emperor's troops... will be very difficult to capture."

Zhu Qizhen thought to himself, don't I know, I still need your teaching?

However, is there any good way now?
Even if the force is doubled, doubled, or ten times, it will be impossible to use it in the narrow city of Juyongguan. No matter how many troops there are, they will be drowned in the river.

"I know, you go!"

Kuang Ye didn't say much anymore, and led people into the city, where he and Cao Nai were in charge of logistics supplies.

Zhu Qizhen led the team to move on, and finally arrived at Juyongguan two days later.

Sure enough, Yang Jun, the right governor, was guarding this place.

Yang Hong has two sons, the eldest is Yang Jun, the official worships the right governor, and the second is Yang Jie, who is now a guerrilla general.

Juyongguan is the most important pass in the north. Yang Hong sent his son to guard it. It seems that he has been prepared for a long time.

Yuan Bince stepped forward immediately, and shouted at the gate of the city: "I am Yuan Bin, the commander of Jinyiwei. Behind him is the emperor leading the army to Beijing. Open the gate quickly!"

No one answered, but a bamboo basket was lowered from the city wall.

Yuan Bin naturally understood, so he put the waist badge into the bamboo basket.

When the bamboo basket was pulled up, the veterans on the city wall saw the badges and dared not make a decision without authorization, so they immediately went to find the officer.

After about a quarter of an hour, someone finally shouted on the city wall: "Where did the traitor come from, dare to pretend to be the emperor?"

Yuan Bin was furious, pointed at him, and said, "This is the seal of the Commander of Jin Yiwei, you should read it carefully!"

"Sorry, I have never read a book, and I don't know how to read!"

As he spoke, the waist badge fell to the ground freely and fell at Yuan Bin's feet.

Yuan Bin was furious and ordered people to kill him on the spot.

"Don't worry, they are still testing!"

Ha Ming stopped Yuan Bin, then showed his badge, and said, "I am the commander of the Beihai Guard. This is the badge of the commander. Do you want to see it?"

Soon, the bamboo basket was put down again, and it wobbled in front of Ha Ming.

Without thinking, Ha Ming threw his badge in, but was insulted again.

The other party didn't look carefully at all, and didn't give you a chance to explain.

Ha Ming didn't say anything, got off his horse and picked up the waist badge, and then returned to the imperial court with Yuan Bin to report.

"Your Majesty, these must be rebels!"
