Chapter 846 Inevitable Blood

The capital is very large, with a population of one million, and the daily food required is a huge number. It is impossible to close the capital for a long time.

When another morning came, the gates of the capital were quietly opened, and the streets were still full of troops, but there was no fear of the night of mutiny. For ordinary people, they had to live their lives as much as possible. The days when they were not allowed to leave the city for half a month were unbearable disasters for many families.

The news of the city gate opening spread, and people from all walks of life in the capital rushed to the city gates. It was not the people who rushed out of the city, but the people who were expensive. Of course, it was not so easy for them to leave the capital. Only after being stopped at the city gate did they realize that they needed to go to the Grand Governor's Office to get a document so that they could leave the city.

Who is the Grand Commander? Of course, Zhang Jingze has 30,000 new troops in his hand. Who can compete with him for this position?

When he received the emperor's order, Zhang Jingze's first reaction was that the benevolence of the woman was. What does the life and death of the people have to do with him? He didn't want to execute this order, but what if the capital was not guaranteed? If he did this, the consequences would be very serious and he had to leave a way out for himself. Therefore, he came up with this method. The city fee was collected, and the price was not low, 500 yuan per person. Those who could pay the fee were all rich people. These people escaped from the city, which had little impact on the population of the capital. On the contrary, as long as the merchants outside the city transported the materials into the capital, they would get the qualification to enter and exit the capital freely every time they paid a toll.

The so-called courageous people to death, starve to death. In half a month, the prices in the capital increased by no less than 50% compared to the past. As long as you dare to transport grain, cloth and other daily necessities into the city, even if you pay a toll collected by the Grand Governor's Office, the greater benefits are still waiting. So, after this decree came out, Zhang Jingze quickly made a lot of money. The rich people in the city wanted to escape from the place of right and wrong. There were many brave merchants outside the city who wanted to come in. The addition of the two made the large income that made people unable to stop.

There is still a sum of silver in the capital, even Zhang Jingze, a brave guy, dare not touch it. That is the silver in the treasury. It is not that Zhang Jingze doesn't like money, but that he knows that the money is hot. If he really does this, it is the result of the public enemy in the world. Even the emperor can't tolerate him anymore. Now the treasury is controlled by the army, and the money is hidden in the Dafa Bank account.

Zhang Jingze has ambition. It does not mean that he dares to abduct the Chen family's tiger beard. In fact, Zhang Jingze's mentality in participating in the mutiny is purely gambling. What are you gambling? The emperor and Chen Xie reached a compromise, and the overseas alliance divided the Ming Dynasty and established a new court. This result is the most beneficial to Zhang Jingze, and there is great hope for him before the uprising. Otherwise, how do you explain the compromise between Mr. Chen and the cabinet? Anyway, it is a compromise, and it is a difference between compromise between the cabinet and the emperor. What is the difference? Because of this, Zhang Jingze has the courage.

We must say that dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

At the 20th day after the mutiny of the capital in Dagukou, Tianjin, when "Alliance One" landed, Zhu Guozhong, the commander of the 6th Division of the Royal Army of the Ming Dynasty, appeared at the dock. The man's grandfather was named Zhu Chunchen. There was no moral attribute in history. It seemed that he had been passed on to him. The first time he received the imperial edict of the capital, the guy rushed to Dagukou overnight. He contacted the local Alliance Infantry Division and reached an agreement to turn against him in the last battle.

Chen Xie had just arrived at Dagukou, and this guy was wearing a blue and gray military uniform of the Ming Dynasty, standing upright on the dock, standing attentively at the dock as Chen Xie was walking off the ship. As for the emperor's will, haha, can that thing come out of the capital now?

Chen Xie, the number one warlord and powerful minister of the Ming Empire, rode a warship north at the age of about 60 and appeared in Tianjin, the capital's gateway. This fact tells everyone, hurry up and make a choice. Although Chen Xie is old, he is still alive. He looks only in his early forties. Facing Zhu Guozhong's respect, he nodded with a smile and reached out to pat his shoulder. His strength was not great, but it was enough for Zhu Guozhong to hunch his waist and lower his head slightly to show his tame.

"General Zhu is very wise, which is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty. Once the war starts, all the lives will be devastated, which is a shame for our soldiers." Chen Xie said this calmly. Although many people didn't take it seriously and thought he was shameless, this is really what Chen Xie thought in his heart. If he can stop fighting, he should not fight. War will kill people. It is not easy for the Ming Dynasty to come to this day.

"Mr. Guozhong keeps it in mind when he is not loyal at this time. When will he express his loyalty? Zhu Guozhong was affirmed by Chen Xie, and his bones were several taels lighter, so he naturally said to please him.

"Tianjin is the gateway of the capital. General Zhu is stationed here. Do you feel pressure?" Chen Xie said slowly. Now Zhu Guozhong woke up from his light state. With a very flexible mind, he immediately returned to his military posture and stood straight: "There is indeed pressure in humble position. I have always been worried that I will miss the state affairs. I ask the Duke to choose another good general to take over. Hu Jue only wants to retire to the mountains and forests."

Chen Xie waved his hand and smiled, "It's not a matter of retreating to the mountains and forests. At a young age, how could I think of this? This is how the civil war in Annan has been in a long time. As the sect leader, the Ming Dynasty cannot stand by. General Zhu can lead his troops from Tianjin to the south. Now the railway is connected to the Huating New District. It takes only six or seven days for the entire division to reach the port of Huating New District. As for transportation, there is no need to worry. The arms will not be shorter. Whether you can launch an Annan wait in Annan depends on your ability."

As for the first royal infantry division commander who defected to Chen Xie, Chen Xie naturally refused to take off his grind and killed his donkey, but it was impossible to stay in Tianjin, an important place. What should I do? Go to Annan, buy a piece of land by myself, and then be a local emperor there. This is Chen Xie's most kind treatment, so don't worry about anything else, so as not to die quickly if you are not greedy.

Leaving the capital and going to Annan, this treatment is a bit pitfall. How many people can get used to the ghost place in Annan? But at this time, there was no choice at all. Either they really retired or fought with Chen Xie. The result of neither choice and refusing to give up their power is to go to Annan to make achievements.

Chen Xie had long wanted to take action in Annan, but he had never had a suitable opportunity. The main reason was that he had invested too much troops in North America, and the hidden dangers in the capital were always there. The combat effectiveness of the Royal Ming Army was definitely not as good as that of the Alliance Army. But there was no problem in fighting Annan.

"Thank you, Mr. Master." Although he was a little disappointed, Zhu Guozhong could still see clearly. His identity was destined. He could not become Chen Xie's direct subordinate. If you go to Annan, you can go to Annan. At that place, you have the final say. Looking around the Ming Dynasty, there is no real territory to be included in the alliance system, that is, Annan and several small countries around him. These small countries have a good attitude of taking the initiative to surrender because of their geographical location, and the Ming Dynasty has never dealt with it.

A white-bearded minister on the dock came forward with a staggering pace. He shouted loudly from afar: "Don't you want to do something crazy and reckless when you enter Beijing this time? In this way, please step on your lower body."

Chen Xie looked closely and saw that the visitor was the current governor of Tianjin Shen Jiayin, a minister who died for his country when Li Zicheng entered Beijing in history, still stood in front of Chen Xie.

"Brother Kong Jia. Chen Xie wants to be Cao Cao and Wang Mang, and he has to wait until he is over 60 years old?" Shen Jiayin said blushed and came in a fierce manner. He found that he had made a mistake. He quickly bowed and apologized: "The official is reckless."

Chen Xie smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother Kong Jia firmly upholds the Taoist ruling, Chen empathizes with it. Looking at the Ming Dynasty since Taizu, the dispute over the power between the emperor and the ministers has never stopped. I think that the cabinet is dedicated to governing the government, legislation, judicial separation, and mutual supervision system is more in line with the long-term interests of the Ming Dynasty. This time, when he entered the capital, his Majesty is still His Majesty."

This was very clear, and Shen Jiayin knew that he could not force it anymore. Otherwise, with Chen Xie's strength, even if he entered the capital and sat on the dragon throne, it would be really difficult? After all, he was still obsessed with the appearance. He always felt that a person like Chen Xie would definitely be a traitor who usurped the throne.

If we really want to talk about the contributions to the Ming Dynasty court, who can compete with Chen Xie in the world? Smart people sometimes like to be stubborn, but it does not mean that Shen Jiayin will continue to ease afterwards. Silently retreated, Shen Jiayin stared at Chen Xie going forward and having a happy conversation with a group of flattering Ming ministers. This loyal minister felt complicated in his heart. He saw the changes in the Ming Dynasty over the years. He probably would have the strength he is today.

If Chen Xie was a simple civil official, a series of reforms would be like seeking death for him. Unfortunately, Chen Xie was not, holding the world's powerful troops, fighting south and north, fighting east and west, and never defeated. Why would such a person be a civil official with outstanding abilities at the same time? Why did his grasp of the world's context far exceed that of the contemporary masters? Shen Jiayin was confused! He couldn't understand!

Everything in Tianjin has not changed. There is no martial law army on the streets, and it is still full of traffic and prosperity. The Grand Canal has lost its former prosperity, and the Beijing-Tianjin Railway has become a new prosperous point.

The railway line that had been stopped for half a month was started again. This time, the army appeared, and an armored train was the one that led to it. Wang Ben, who arrived in Tianjin, accompanied Chen Xie to take charge of Tianjin, waiting for news from Tongzhou and Miyun.

In fact, according to Chen Xie's intention, he could go north with a guard regiment. Unfortunately, Wang Ben refused to agree and stopped Chen Xie by desperately. The news that Chen Xie was in charge in Tianjin spread quickly and did not deliberately conceal it. Tongzhou garrison was Xu Lian, the commander of the fifth division and an infantry regiment. The original target of defense was Liaodong. When he saw the military line appeared outside Tongzhou City, he immediately sent people to greet him. After encountering Xerox, the commander of the third infantry division of the Ming Overseas Alliance, Xu Lian immediately expressed his willingness to surrender.

Xerox did not make any trouble for him, so he made a request, and a group of senior officers of the Fifth Division consciously formed a group to travel to Tianjin.

It’s not that the new army of the Ming Dynasty was too bad, but that Chen Xie’s name was too powerful. Wherever he went, no one in the military system dared to face a battle, and he didn’t even dare to think about it. Take Xu Lian for example. After the mutiny in the capital, his first reaction was that he was over. Chen Xie was still alive, and who couldn’t think of it was going to start a mutiny? After learning that it was a mutiny led by the emperor, he immediately made a decision and kept his troops still. If Chen Xie stayed in Huating and just sent troops to fight, he retreated to Miyun and retreated outside the Great Wall if he couldn’t. Anyway, he was holding the army in his hand and he would always have some capital in his hand.

Unfortunately, his abacus was shattered after hearing Chen Xie arrive in Tianjin in person. The troops of a brigade could not escape the First Division of the Cavalry Alliance that came from Shanhaiguan. This is a big deal. Just take the initiative to put down your weapons. After all, Chen Xie is not a normal person who can fight against the new army system. It is not that Chen Xie is invulnerable to swords and guns, but because Chen Xie's glorious history in the past is engraved in the hearts of everyone in the army system. Even so, no matter whether there are the two words "royal" or not, as long as it is a new army, you don't want to be tough in front of Chen Xie. The soul of this army is given by Chen Xie.

Chen Xie did not want to shed blood, but many things were not subject to human will. On the tenth day of September, Chen Xie arrived in Tongzhou. When the city officials left the city to greet him, he stood on the city tower with white hair trembling and raised his arms and shouted: "Chen Sihua, how can you do this rebellious thing if you have received the kindness of the late emperor?"

Chen Xie looked up at the people on the city, and there was no one, so he asked the people around him. No one knew about it, and in the end, Xu Lian, the party leading the way forward and said: "Jin Hyun, the Minister of War, is now the Deputy Chief of Staff of the General Staff. This time, he came to Tongzhou with the order to go to Beijing, and the title of the man is not sick, and the excuse is insufficient military supplies and a large gap in food and salary."

Compared with Xu Lian, who is timid, Chen Xie admires Jin Xuan more. Unfortunately, no matter how you appreciate, this kind of loyalty and kindness who is loyal and loyal is often a stumbling block the progress of the times. Compared with this kind of desperation, Chen Xie is more willing to cooperate with those flexible ministers. This has nothing to do with integrity, but only related to the cause of the Ming Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, in history, Kim Hyun chose to jump into the Jinshui River to sacrifice his life when Lee Zicheng entered Beijing. Since he had the courage to jump into the river, why didn’t he have the courage to lead a knife to kill the thief?

Chen Xie silently looked at Jin Xuan on the top of the city and said nothing. Chen Xie had no choice but to say such a minister with high integrity. To put it bluntly, they didn't know how to adapt. To put it nicely, they had their own persistence. No matter what, they always made future generations awe-inspiring, but then again, such people are useless in times of crisis in the country.

Chen Xie still walked towards the city gate, and Jin Xuan shouted without hesitation: "It's the shore to turn around, Master." After that, he jumped to the end of the city, and a head of white hair dispersed in the wind, dancing! (To be continued.)
