Zhang Shize's face was filled with tears; he was already on the eve of a storm.
The Ministry of War can only be the Ministry of War.
The situation in the Beijing camp needs to be reported to the Ministry of War. If hiding and not reporting is suspected of rebellion, what are you doing by secretly hoarding firearms?
Therefore, it must be reported truthfully. Although the Ministry of War cannot mobilize the Beijing camp, they also have management power. They just do not have transfer authority and command authority.
Zhang Shize looked at Yang Fan and asked, "What do you think we should do?"
Yang Fan said: "Now that you are the coach, you have to come up with the idea. My suggestion is, don't talk for now, wait until the army comes back, and then talk to them. After all, these military camps belong to the Beijing camp. Before, the Beijing camp
They need military camps after they go on an expedition to suppress the rebellion. Since the Ministry of War has agreed, it will be loaned to them for temporary use. Now that the Beijing camp troops are back, they will naturally give it back to us."
Zhang Shize thought for a while, and what Yang Fan said made sense. When the army arrives, there are 40,000 people. They can't sleep in tents. Your Majesty will have to show an attitude when the time comes. It's better than finding it yourself now.
"What about the supplies?" Zhang Shize asked.
"This can only be done by Your Majesty. He paid for it in the beginning. Now that the Beijing army is back, without these supplies, what will the Beijing army eat? He can't let the soldiers' hearts fall. I guess, Xuanwu has been
The food and supplies that the army has eaten, used, and sold will not come back. There is still some left in the warehouse, so we must come back anyway." Yang Fan said helplessly.
Zhang Shize also knew that these things were in their hands. Given the behavior of these poor devils, even if you kill them, they will not spit it out.
It would be good if we could get some of the rest out. I guess tough measures would have to be taken, and the two armies might even end up fighting.
Zhang Shize is not afraid of Dong Jishu, nor is he afraid of the cabinet. What a joke, the top dignitaries of the Ming Dynasty are afraid of you.
He dared to cause trouble, but Dong Jishu and the others ignored him.
Now the commanders of the regiments and camps in the Beijing camp are all noble sons. Yang Fan has withdrawn all his servants.
They are not easy to talk to, and they still make a fuss despite being ignored. Now these border soldiers have been bullied to their death. It's amazing that they can bear it.
However, the materials that they harmed are definitely gone.
They are as poor as ghosts, and they will have no money to compensate you. Even if they have the rest, they will try their best to keep it, because they have been hungry for too long. They got so many supplies at once, and their eyes are red.
Zhang Shize also knew that Yang Fan was very embarrassed now.
He has also been tested since he was a child, so he naturally knows that all this is coming for Yang Fan. Yang Fan can't come forward, otherwise he will play into someone else's plan.
Besides, Yang Fan has handed over his duties and no longer has a prominent position.
Now Yang Fan is the rear governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the governor of Suiyuan Province. He has no connection with the Beijing camp at all. In what capacity does he stand out?
They were just waiting to join him in seizing the military power, with ulterior motives.
Zhang Shize sighed. He had been very unhappy since the eunuch Tuan'er was naturalized.
In the past few months, the emperor and the court had made him very unhappy.
He sneered in his heart, now that he was firmly seated on the throne, he began to dominate.
No, it's time for the three of them, father and son, to ask the British government to support them in taking power.
"Then where should we live? In such a big Nanyuan, except for the Jingying Military Camp near Dahongmen, the rest of the place is in ruins and there are not many good houses." Zhang Shize was worried for a while.
The area within the Nanyuan wall is as large as the six north and south cities of Beijing combined. The military camp of the Beijing camp is only a small area in the north next to the Dahongmen.
"Go to the dock. I remember there are some houses there for temporary living," Yang Fan said.
The wharf is at the far west, where the Yongding River transports supplies. There are some simple houses at Huang Hao's transportation office.
Before a few people could lead these more than a thousand people away, they saw a group of cavalry rushing over.
"But Uncle Dingyuan and Admiral Zhang, our family has His Majesty's decree. Please stay." A eunuch with a male duck voice shouted loudly.
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize hurriedly accepted the order. This time, the person who came to deliver the order was an unfamiliar little eunuch. Judging from his clothing, he was only a seventh-grade eunuch.
After reading out the decree, he didn't even ask for the red envelope and left in a panic. He seemed to be afraid that Uncle Dingyuan would get angry.
Yang Fan said to Zhang Shize: "Normally, at this time, I should help you deal with these messy things, but I didn't expect that His Majesty would make me stay away from the capital for a whole day. Oh, you should be careful with it." Yang Fan patted his hand.
Said the back.
Zhang Shize puffed out his nose angrily and said: "We just achieved some victory, and they are like this. It's too much."
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said: "Your Majesty is too embarrassed to see me. I learned about Qu'er myself and left quickly. Maybe, Your Majesty is in the Qianqing Palace, waiting for news of my departure."
"Don't be impulsive. Doing more at this time will be wrong, but not doing anything is good. It's best to go home first, see your grandfather, see your parents, and listen to their opinions. The current situation is a bit delicate."
After Yang Fan finished speaking, he turned around and rode away with his soldiers.
Yang Fan went directly to Tongzhou. There was a steamboat there and he could take the boat back to Xincheng. It would be too tiring to go back directly on horseback. It would take a day and a night.
As soon as Yang Fan left Nanyuan, a plainclothes Jin Yiwei who was in charge of surveillance immediately rode back to Yongding Gate to report.
Zhang Shize settled the more than a thousand people, designated them to be responsible for the next few days, arranged for them to camp on the spot when they returned to Beijing, and reported anything to the British government. Then he took his family back home.
In the Palace of Qianqing, the emperor, who had finished the imperial meeting, was relieved after hearing the report.
Yang Fan left immediately after receiving the order, and Zhang Shize also made arrangements to set up camp and returned home.
What he was most worried about was the quarrel between Yang Fan and Zhang Shize. One of them was an unruly master, the other was a top-notch playboy, and neither of them were masters who could swallow their anger.
He knew everything about the Xuanwu Army. He was reluctant to give out money to reward them, and it was not easy to hold them accountable for occupying the Beijing warehouse. After all, they had just suppressed the rebellion, and he couldn't let the horses run and let the horses run at the same time.
Don't you want to eat grass?
At the same time, when Qian Longxi and others heard the news in the cabinet, they were also surprised and said: "Did Uncle Dingyuan just leave like this? This is not his character."
Yang Fan had already left at this time. He waved his sleeves and did not take away a single cloud.
To be honest, Beijing camp is actually a burden to him.
The emperor and the cabinet are just a treasure, but to Yang Fan they are just a burden.
From the beginning, he was unwilling to train and lead them to the Western Expedition. If Yang Fan had brought his own cavalry army and infantry army, would he have bothered so much? The equipment and quality of the Beijing camp were too poor.
Now His Majesty plans to treat him coldly, which is exactly what he wants.
It is Your Majesty who is sorry for him now, not him who is sorry for Your Majesty. He just got away. It is best not to trouble him again in the future.
