"Empire Hegemony" Chapter 550
The northern army guarding the northern border has joined the camp of the four princes, which immediately increased the strength of the four princes.
? A portion of the Imperial Guard Army and the Black Cavalry Army that were crusading against the Fourth Prince suffered a disastrous defeat in Pingyang Province, and the Black Cavalry Army was completely wiped out.
Now the four princes, with Marshal Li Kou as the vanguard of the 200,000 Northern Army, have rushed towards the capital.
Bad news came back to the capital one after another, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also panicked.
Now that the bones of the old emperor are not yet cold, the capital is shrouded in a gloomy and sad atmosphere. The fourth prince's soldiers are pointing directly at the capital, which undoubtedly casts a haze over the crown prince and the others.
"The rebel army has many generals, and His Highness the Crown Prince has a body of ten thousand gold. How can he risk his own life? My minister suggested that His Highness the Crown Prince will make a southern tour soon."
Now the court is almost entirely filled with the prince's men and horses, and the military and military families and the veterans of the former court are almost cleaned.
Facing the menacing army of the four princes, some of the prince's confidantes suggested that the prince abandon the capital and retreat to the south.
After all, the provinces in the south are relatively rich, and it is easier to raise money and food. As long as they gain a firm foothold in the south, it is only a matter of time before they come back.
"Hmph, the royal capital has high walls and 200,000 imperial guards guarding it. How can we be afraid of mere rebels!" Huya General Liang Bin was the main battler.
"Yes, we can't build up the ambition of others and destroy our prestige!"
"I also invite His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to sit in the capital and order the soldiers and horses of the world to wipe out the rebels!"
"Fight against the rebels and wipe out the rebels!"
Many people who have newly joined the prince are eager to make meritorious deeds, and they are clamoring to fight.
"It's better to leave the general to guard the capital, and His Royal Highness to avoid the enemy's sharp edge."
"It is too dangerous for His Royal Highness to stay in the capital. Once the rebels besiege the city, the consequences will be disastrous."
"You are a bunch of ghosts who are afraid of death!"
"We are thinking about the overall situation."
"The big picture of bullshit, once the capital is lost and the country is not guaranteed, we will perish!"
"Please also invite His Royal Highness to stay in the capital and preside over the overall situation!"
Facing the menacing army of the Fourth Prince, the courtiers were also divided into two factions.
The other faction is resolute in the main battle, let the prince sit in the capital, and mobilize soldiers and horses from all over the world to suppress the rebellion.
There is another faction that thinks that the capital is in jeopardy, and it is too dangerous to stay in the capital. It is better for the crown prince to tour the south and avoid the edge.
Facing the question of whether to fight or withdraw, the two sides also ignored the image, and the faces of the dispute were red.
"enough¡ª¡ª"
Seeing the courtiers who were arguing endlessly, the prince was also one head bigger than two, so he stopped their quarrel.
When the old emperor was still alive, although the world was full of turmoil, the situation was controllable.
But now with the death of the old emperor, the situation has deteriorated sharply, and the prince, who had a chance to win, now feels more and more powerless.
"It's all gone, let me think about it."
The prince was hesitant about whether to stick to the king's capital and fight the fourth prince, or to avoid his edge and retreat to the south, so he could only put it on hold temporarily.
The Far Eastern Dynasty has been established for more than 400 years. Although it has experienced some twists and turns, the capital has always been in the hands of the royal family and has never been breached.
The fourth prince is now rushing forward with hundreds of thousands of mighty troops, and the prince's heart is also uneasy.
Because the only thing he can use now is the newly formed imperial guards, and he really has no confidence in the fourth prince who has many soldiers.
However, if he is asked to give up the capital and flee south now, he will be a little unwilling. This is not just a matter of face and prestige.
The royal family's ancestral temples and shrines are all located in the royal capital. Once the royal capital is lost, people's hearts will disperse, and he, the crown prince, will survive in name only.
And he will also become the first prince in the history of the Far Eastern Dynasty to escape in embarrassment, facing his ancestors facelessly.
"His Royal Highness, the 100,000 troops under General Zhenxi are not weaker than the Northern Army."
When the prince is now facing a dilemma, a confidant official has to remind the prince, don't forget that there is still the Zhenxi Army.
General Zhenxi led an army of 100,000 to the funeral. The purpose is self-evident, and he also wants to get a share of the chaotic situation.
Although General Zhenxi kept saying that he supported the prince, the prince was still a little wary of General Zhenxi.
The prince has secretly mobilized a regiment of imperial guards to Gyeonggi.Garrison in the western part of the province to prevent the Zhenxi Army from entering the territory of Gyeonggi Province.
After receiving the imperial edict from the crown prince, General Zhenxi also vowed that the Zhenxi Army would never enter the Gyeonggi Province, and was just standing aside to deter the petty people.
Now facing the menacing army of the fourth prince, the prince reminded him of the Zhenxi army.
Although the prince still doesn't trust the Zhenxi army, he has no other choice now.
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice. Now that the situation is deteriorating, if you want to hold the king's capital, you must rely on the strength of the Zhenxi Army.
"Let Yan Jing come to see me."
The prince was not willing to be kicked out of the capital in such a disheveled manner, so he decided to stay and fight hard.
The prince summoned Yan Jing, his confidant, and asked him to go to the Zhenxi Army in person, hoping that the Zhenxi Army would support him and join the battle against the Fourth Prince.
Yan Jing, the new right prime minister, also knew that he was tied to the same boat as the prince, and if the prince lost, his fate would not be much better.
Facing the prince's request, Yan Jing agreed without the slightest hesitation, and soon set off to leave the capital to meet the Zhenxi army with the military salary of wine and meat.
Under the command of General Zhenxi, the 100,000 Zhenxi Army set off from the western border and marched all the way, and now it has arrived in Beichuan Province in the western part of Gyeonggi Province.
? Prime Minister You Yan Jing brought wine, meat and food to Beichuan Province to meet the Zhenxi Army. It was quite useful for the General Zhenxi to see a Prime Minister You personally greet him.
After Yan Jing comforted the dusty Zhenxi army, he had a conversation with the general Zhenxi alone.
Yan Jing conveyed the prince's request for the Zhenxi Army to participate in the battle against the four princes, and also brought the prince's promise to the general Zhenxi.
Once the fourth prince's rebel army is defeated, General Zhenxi will then be able to enter the imperial court's General's Mansion and take charge of the world's troops.
Facing the bargaining chip offered by the crown prince, General Zhenxi agreed after a little thought.
Although the Zhenxi Army is a frontier army with strong fighting power all year round, it also has its own flaws, that is, poverty.
Because the home of their Zhenxi Army is in the western provinces, the land is barren and the population is sparsely populated. As a result, their Zhenxi Army is also living a hard life, which is more miserable than any frontier army.
The Northern Army has taxes from the three provinces on the northern border, as well as important trade routes.
The southern provinces guarded by the Southern Army are even richer, so they don't have to worry about food and clothing.
However, the Zhenxi Army is poor and white, and they still have to guard the bitterly cold western mountainous area. They have had enough.
In the past, they reported to the higher authorities, asking the court to increase their food and salary, but they were all ignored by those important ministers who were eating vegetarian meals.
The Zhenxi Army had no trouble facing those important officials of the imperial court. They could only suffer, and they couldn't rebel.
This time, General Zhenxi led the 100,000 Zhenxi Army to the funeral. Seeing the chaotic situation, he wanted to find an opportunity to change the poor situation of the Zhenxi Army.
Regardless of whether the Zhenxi army is relying on the fourth prince or the crown prince, General Zhenxi feels that their 100,000 troops are not a force to be underestimated, and they will be treated kindly.
If it was in peacetime, their 100,000 troops were mobilized without authorization, and they might be accused of treason.
But now General Zhenxi is not afraid, because anyone who is not a fool will win them over.
Now that the crown prince sent someone to win them over, and promised generous benefits, General Zhenxi would naturally not refuse.
As long as it can help the prince defeat the fourth prince, the Zhenxi army will not only get rich spoils, but also won't have to go back to the bitter cold west to suffer.
He, the general of Zhenxi, can also enter the court and become an important minister in the court, so the general of Zhenxi is moved, and officially becomes a member of the prince's camp.
