Chapter eight hundred and seventy-fifth: Retreat as advance
.The Ma Junsi, as one of the three imperial guards, is self-evident. Especially after the reorganization, the entire Ma Junsi has been completely renewed, with a quota of 30,000 people, and its strength is faintly above the Palace Front Office.
In fact, the quota of the imperial guards in Bianjing was 30,000, but the matter of empty salary was constantly banned. The Palace Front Office was fine, and there were only 20,000 people, but the Infantry Department was even more cruel. It was good to have half of them. However, the Ma Jun Office was different. The number of people was sufficient and there was no deduction at all.
Therefore, whether in the Privy Council, the Ministry of War or the Third Office, the Ma Junsi Department is getting heavier and heavier, and sometimes the Palace Front Office has to give in.
But today's Ma Junsi's yamen was very different. Early in the morning, Duke Ruiguo took a team of people to the yamen, read the order directly, and then took over the position of commander of the Ma Junsi. After noon, he summoned military officers above the Ma Junsi's yamen to see him. He immediately gave a warning and dismissed more than a dozen military officers. Most of these military officers were from school lieutenants, which had received a lot of effect. Although he complained, he maintained the situation after all.
This Ruiguo Duke Fang Dan is Zhao Heng's brother-in-law. Now that Zhao Heng ascended the throne, he, the Ruiguo Duke, has also risen. In fact, Fang Dan is quite handsome, with beautiful beards, burly figure, wearing a purple robe and a beam crown to sit in the Majunsi Yatang. He really has a bit of a heart-wrenching demeanor.
The military officers of the two squads stood aside, and each of them remained silent. The court suddenly changed the commander, and the newly appointed Duke of Ruiguo rectified many lieutenants as soon as he came. Anyone with discerning eyes knew what the emperor wanted to do and what Duke of Ruiguo wanted to do.
The sealing of newspapers and magazines made scholars feel cold. The death of the third prince also made the military officers feel cold. At this time, many people suddenly called the King of Governors. If the King of Governors is here, would the Emperor be allowed to do such a reckless act? Will a Duke of Rui show his power in the Ma Army?
However, the regent was not there and the imperial edict had been issued. As an imperial guard, no one had the courage to resist the edict. Although everyone was angry, they still endured this tone.
Fang Dan glanced at the military officers of the two squads with awesomeness. What were the thoughts of these military officers? He felt like a mirror in his heart. At least he had been in the palace vanguard and the Privy Council. How could Fang Dan not know that the Ma Junsi was the famous Shen Party? Shen Ao's words were even more effective than the emperor. He smiled coldly in his heart and thought: So what? Now the auxiliary king is thousands of miles away. I will ask you to stab the auxiliary king in the heart later. At that time, will you all obediently serve His Majesty loyalty?
Fang Dan coughed and glanced around and said, "Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is in a mess. The defense of the capital is the top priority. I heard that there are people in this Bianjing city who are ill-behaved. Hehe... What good end can the traitors have ever had? Let's talk about it?"
Everyone was silent.
Fang Dan continued, "Your Majesty ordered me to take charge of the Ma Junsi, to inspect the unrest and stabilize the country. Now the Japanese official has a word first. Those who are willing to serve loyally will come from a prosperous future and will be rich and prosperous. But some people have an unexpected heart, that is, to confiscate the family and destroy the clan. Think about this relationship carefully, and don't miss the whole family for a moment."
Fang Dan's words were almost straightforward warnings, and the military officers were silent, neither opposing nor supporting.
Seeing this, Fang Dan stood up long: "Receive the will..."
No one thought that this man had an order in his hand. After hearing Fang Dan's words, everyone bowed helplessly and said, "I will accept the order."
Fang Dan's face showed a sneer, and then he opened the imperial edict to read it. Halfway through the will, the military officers were covered in cold sweat. He was really shocked. He removed the military preparatory school, and all the lieutenants in the school were disbanded, and the Ma Junsi was ordered to cooperate with him.
You should know that the status of the two lieutenant in the Song Dynasty was higher than that of scholars. It was not only because of the emperor's personal army, but also because of the battles everywhere in the Song Dynasty in recent years, and the lieutenant rushed to the front and retreated to the end. These people have long become models among the military personnel, especially in the Majun Division. Since a large number of lieutenants were added, everyone was even more respectful to the lieutenant, respecting their character and fearing their majesty. Now they are ordered to cooperate with the Majun Division to sack the military preparatory school, how could the military officers be willing to do so?
However, the imperial edict was issued, and the new commander also made a powerful move. No one in Bianjing made a decision for them. If he shakes his head at this time, he will resist the edict. Resisting the edict means being a ill-intentioned plan. If such a great crime is pressed on him, who dares to say what?
One of the military officers finally plucked up the courage and said, "Mr. Fang, the Martial Arts School is the emperor's personal teacher. When the late emperor was there, he even appointed them as the disciples of the emperor. Now that the late emperor's body is not cold, how can he be deposed? Please confess your concern for Your Majesty, and hope that Your Majesty will think twice before doing it."
Someone slapped his head, and other military officers said one after another: "Please enter the palace to persuade Your Majesty."
Fang Dan sneered in his heart and said with a stern face: "Hmph, why? Are you trying to resist the order?"
Everyone had to say, "I dare not."
Fang Dan's face stretched a little, and said, "Since it is not a resistance to the order, then immediately dispatch the army and horses and follow me to the martial arts school to read the order."
But everyone refused, just knelt down and didn't say anything.
Fang Dan was furious and said, "If someone dares to look down on the Holy Heart, he will immediately punish him for his crime of resisting the order."
The military officers started to move and reluctantly returned to the camp to allocate their troops.
Fang Dan suddenly felt proud. What a lieutenant or a ruling king, it turned out that just a single imperial edict could make them bow their heads. Then Li Bangyan was indeed an old fox. With some means, Bianjing could be as solid as a god.
These military officers went out and whispered to each other. Several of them called their own soldiers to give orders, and then pretended to mobilize the army and horses.
The personal soldiers rushed to the Wubei Academy. Han Shizhong received the news and was already frowning. In the Mingwu Hall, dozens of teachers and doctors looked at each other and fell into silence for a moment.
Han Shizhong suddenly slapped the table and cursed angrily: "The emperor's disciples said he would retreat. Then, will our hard work over the years be wasted? From the border town to the navy, from the navy to the imperial guards, the wing army, and the soldiers of the three armies are not disappointed? How long has the late emperor passed away? It will be the emperor's ministers all the time? What's the reason? Why are you talking about pure filial piety? It's not so much that you will do your best to do this? If you have any external troubles in the future, who will be loyal to you?"
Han Shizhong's anger is also due to his reputation. After training the lieutenant for so many years, Han Shizhong put in countless efforts. After joining the army, these lieutenants were organized into various armies and fought to kill the enemy. None of them did not move forward bravely and rush forward? Just say, in the battle of the Jurchens, the lieutenant died in battle. Such a great sacrifice was the result of cunning rabbits and lackeys. If anyone felt that they were cold.
Furthermore, the status of the lieutenant was given by the late emperor. As soon as the late emperor passed away, he withdrew the lieutenant and withdrew the school. What does this mean? Since ancient times, filial piety has been a great feud. As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he couldn't wait to attack the last emperor's people and even talk about the word "filial piety".
Han Shizhong cursed so angrily, and Tong Hu of Ma Junke couldn't help but say, "That's right, we are bleeding outside. Now we are saying to withdraw, how can we convince the public? Today, I, Tong Hu, don't withdraw, you must withdraw your own jurisdiction."
The doctors were a little patient and dissuaded: "Teacher Han, Instructor Tong, be careful of his words..."
Tong Hu said furiously: "It's not a big deal to be careful. The martial arts school is about to be gone. What's the use of being cautious about words?"
Everyone smiled bitterly and shook their heads.
Han Shizhong calmed down at this time, and looked determined and said, "No matter what the imperial edict is, I, Han Shizhong, will live and die with the Martial Arts School today. If the emperor wants to withdraw, I, Han, will take my life first."
Tong Hu immediately responded: "Including me Tong Hu one."
The other instructors said one after another: "Okay, if you want to make a fuss, just have fun."
