Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1136 Wanli is not Hongwu
".The emperor underestimated Wang Tong's intelligence system. The commercial empire called Sanjiang brought Wang Tong more than just huge wealth."

When the official news of Li Hutou's death on the battlefield came back to the capital, only three hours later, the capital began to be in chaos.

Emperor Wanli's original plan was not like this. Li Hutou died on the battlefield and was buried in a grand manner. Most people can accept this, but Li Hutou reported that he was assassinated on the battlefield. None of them are fools and understand what this means.

Nobility and wealthy families have left the city to avoid misfortune. In the past, they would have lived safely in the capital, or drilled camps or stood in teams. After all, they wanted to gain some benefits in this chaotic situation. But now it is different. If Wang Tong is still in the capital, it’s fine , Wang Tong went to Tianjin Wei first, so the result is unknown.

In the past, apart from the courtyards and Zhuangzi inside and outside the capital, these noble and wealthy families would have nowhere to go, but now, everyone is going north to leave the fortress, or go to Liaoning. There are Zhuangzi fortresses outside the fortress and outside the pass, where they are also guarded by family soldiers It is also a way to stock up, avoid living there, and wait for the result.

The Son of Heaven has too many ways to deal with his subordinates, this is a one-sided situation, but to deal with Wang Tong, Wang Tong's strength is really too strong.

".All kinds of news are circulating in the capital, and many people think of the past when Zhu Yuanzhang, known as the Taizu Emperor, wiped out the heroes one by one when the empire was first established. In fact, all the emperors of the empire There is a similar habit, although the civil servants who have always been alienated quickly gathered around the emperor, the public opinion still turned to the imperial army officer corps."

It is a safe plan to capture a part of the imperial army first, and then persuade other generals of the imperial army who are out of the town to remove the power from Wang Tong's hands.

Emperor Wanli sent envoys to various places. The reason why they are not called imperial envoys is because under the current situation, it is not possible to take actions that are too irritating to the warriors. , Restoration of various virtues.

But anyone with a little bit of brains understands that the heyday of imperial power is due to the support of the Forbidden Army, the status of the generals of the Forbidden Army, and the control over the troops are the most effective in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and the Forbidden Army was established with the two regiments as the backbone officers He is very close to the generals of Wang Tong's line. If he really issues an imperial edict to seize power, the most likely thing is that the generals will mutiny directly.

Just how powerful the Tiger Mighty Army is, one can know from the previous brilliant victories, what kind of forces are involved behind the legion, the palace knows even more, the most prominent generals in the world, the richest merchants, all If you have such a close relationship with them, if you make every move, the world will be in chaos.

However, Emperor Wanli was one step too late this time. Wang Tong's envoy started on the road one step earlier than the envoys sent by the palace, and arrived at various places one step earlier.

The Zhu family had an innate problem, that is, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes was too famous and had too much influence. Ming Yingzong killed Yu Qian. As for Jiang Bin and Qian Ning who were liquidated after Zhengde's death, it is not a good example. Now This situation is unprecedented, the society is prosperous, the territory is expanded, the country is destroyed and the king is killed, and the generals have made great achievements. It is similar to the time when the Ming Dynasty founded the country. Then too much news in the palace was leaked out, for example The metaphor of "thorns" was said by Emperor Taizu to his descendants, and now Emperor Wanli also said it to his sons. These "thorns" were naturally panicked.

Everyone has seen how many things Wang Tong has done and how many great achievements he has made. Everyone knows that this man is a loyal minister and has done so many things for Daming. After making so many meritorious deeds, it has ended up like this now, and everyone is disappointed.

Moreover, the Forbidden Army Corps and the interest groups behind them are so developed that they have snatched food from the gentry and how many things they have grabbed. This majestic power is going to disappear in smoke?
The interests are at stake, and everyone's positions were immediately unified. The regiments of the Forbidden Army are nominally the commander of Li Hutou, but in fact they are stationed in various places, which is equivalent to the general of the army, and they all have the right to report.

Han Gang was the first, followed by Sun Xin. All the generals went up to play, and the last one was Li Tao. In order to communicate with Li Tao, the Li family in Ji Town killed hundreds of horses during this period.

Everyone's memorials are all of the same attitude, why a general like Li Hutou was assassinated, please ask the court to thoroughly investigate his words are all humble and sincere, but the meaning in the memorial is very clear, if the court doesn't give an explanation, then everyone is afraid If you are not at ease, if you are not at ease, what will happen to the troops that cannot be controlled, it is hard to say.

".For the royal family, the situation has deteriorated rapidly. Several high-ranking eunuchs in the inner palace committed suicide to bear the responsibility by dying. The emperor also sent his most trusted servants to explain to Wang Tong, but the rift between the two sides has already appeared. , Wang Tong stayed in Tianjin due to health reasons, and will not return to Beijing. According to relatively reliable news, Wang Tong is indeed ill."

**************
"I have been with my husband for so many years, and I have never seen him like this."

Han Xia talked to Zhang Hongying privately.

The news of Li Hutou's assassination reached Wang Tong in the middle of the night. Wang Tong was very calm at the time, and while asking his family's guards to prepare the chariot and horses, he sent someone to contact his reliable cronies in the city.

At this position, it would be impossible if Wang Tong did not have certain preparations. After obtaining Wang Tong's permission, Shi Qi released the private soldiers he had raised, and all the spies who were not belonging to Wang Tong to monitor the county prince's mansion were killed at night. He was killed, and the news was completely blocked.

The east gate of the capital guarded by the five city soldiers and horses opened more than half an hour earlier than usual, and the armored cavalry escorted the convoy of Wang Tong's family and rushed out of the city gate.

Wang Tong's arrangements in Beijing and Tianjin were quite careful. There were more than [-] armored cavalry escorts within the capital. When they arrived in Tongzhou, the number of cavalry had exceeded [-]. Such strength was enough to stop the pursuit that the capital could mobilize. After a period of time, Wang Tong was guaranteed to enter Xianghe County, where the Han Gang regiment was stationed.

When Wang Tong arrived at Tianjin Wei, there was a surge of enthusiasm in Tianjin Wei, and prominent figures came out to welcome him. It is worth noting that Cai Nan, the supervisor of the army, also came out to welcome him. But Tianjin Bingbei Road did not go out to welcome, and the rest of the officials, wealthy and dignitaries all went out to welcome them.

Tianjin Wei is the city of Wang Tong. It has maintained two gunboats of the Shihai class for a long time, and more than [-] armed ships of various types, not to mention the tens of thousands of guards in the Sanjiang system. It is based on the veterans of the Huwei Army as the backbone and is well-equipped.

Not to mention, Wang Tong can mobilize reinforcements from the sea
Wang Tong lived in the mansion on the side of Tianjin Wei Harbor, and orders and arrangements were issued from the mansion. After everything was arranged, Wang Tong stayed in the study by himself, and he could report at any time, but now almost everything After the arrangement, the next step is to wait for the response from the palace and other places.In fact, it was just a time to be alone, and everyone knew how to not disturb him.

Others are fine, but Han Xia has to go. After Wang Xia was 15 years old, she was sent to North Korea to let him practice as an ordinary soldier under Tan Jian. It was such a situation, and Han Xia was really worried about it.

When going to the study, the guards would naturally not stop her. When Han Xia walked outside the study, she saw that the door of the study was ajar. From the crack of the door, she could see Wang Tong sitting in front of the desk, covering her eyes with her hands, Stirred, the sound of gasping could be heard, Wang Tong sat in front of the desk and cried.

It was the first time Han Xia saw her man like this, and she had mixed feelings for a moment. She waited outside for a long time before going in, and when she saw Wang Tong's red eye circles, she just pretended she didn't see it.

Wang Xia had already made the arrangement, there was already a clipper ship going to North Korea, and Tan Jian's regiment was also arranged by someone Wang Tong absolutely trusted, so Wang Xia's safety would not be a problem.

*****************
".The suppressed civil official group thought it was their opportunity, but their actions were worthless in front of swords and gold and silver. Wang Tong's counterattack was very quick. The industries of those officials in the court were comparable to Wang Tong's business empire. With this or that relationship, all officials who made a clear stand against Wang Tong went bankrupt within a month, and the rest of the officials were either on Wang Tong's side or never dared to take a stand."

".Lv Wancai, the local garrison official of the capital, was Wang Tong's confidant. He was dismissed immediately after Wang Tong left the capital. Li Wenyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, was also dismissed. However, there are too many There are too many Wang Tong's people, the capital is completely a sieve for Wang Tong."

The Li family and the Ma family chose to side with Wang Tong without much hesitation. The Chen family and the Tang family, who had already controlled the imperial army and the Beijing camp, also began to remain neutral after watching for a period of time.

After Emperor Wanli discovered that the military did not stand with him at all, he finally realized that there was nothing he could do. He was not Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor, and Wang Tong was not Xu Da and Chang Yuchun who died of illness, nor were they the founding heroes who waited obediently to die. Although Tong is loyal, he is not defenseless. He has been preparing and planning.

"People don't treat me like this, I don't treat people like this" This is Wang Tong's principle, but once many things start to move, it is difficult to stop.

And when it came to such a situation, even if Wang Tong and Wanli wanted to stop, they couldn't stop. How many people were looking forward to this, especially Wang Tong's side.

It was circulated in a very small circle that when the news reached Xu Guangguo, Xu Guangguo's first reaction was definitely not grief and regret.
