The emperor underestimated Wang Tong's intelligence system, and the commercial empire known as Sanjiang brought Wang Tong more than just great wealth,"

When the official news of Li Hutou's death on the battlefield was transmitted back to the Beijing Division, only a little more than three hours later, chaos began to occur in the Beijing Division. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Emperor Wanli's original plan was not like this, Li Hutou died on the battlefield, and then buried in a grand manner, "most people can accept this", but the news reported by Li Hutou was assassinated on the battlefield, "Everyone is not stupid, understand what this means."

The noble and wealthy families have gone out of the city to avoid trouble, if in the past, they would live in the Beijing division safely" or drill camp or stand in line, always to get some benefits in this chaos, but now it is different "If Wang Tong is still in the Beijing division, then it's okay" Wang Tong went to Tianjin Wei first, then the result is unknown.

In the past, in addition to the mansions and Zhuangzi inside and outside the Beijing Division, "these noble and wealthy families have nowhere to go, but now, everyone is going north to go out of the fortress or go to Liaoning, there are Zhuangzi fortresses outside the fortress and outside the Guan", where they also have family guards to store, where they live far away, waiting for the result" is also a method.

There are too many ways for the Son of Heaven to deal with his subordinates, this is a one-sided situation, "can deal with Wang Tong" Wang Tong's strength is too strong.

"All kinds of news circulated in the capital, and many people thought of the past when this empire was first established, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was called Emperor Taizu, cleared the heroes one by one, in fact, the emperors of this empire had similar habits, although the civilian-official group that had always been estranged quickly gathered around the emperor, but public opinion still fell to the forbidden army officer corps", "

First catch the forbidden army and then persuade the other forbidden army generals on all sides of the town to relieve Wang Tong of power, such a plan is safe, but the situation has developed to such a point, everything is Hugh.

The Wanli Emperor sent envoys everywhere, and the reason why he did not call it Qincha was because in the current situation, he could not take too much action to stimulate the warriors, "although the civil officials have been clamoring for edicts to remove these rebellious and rude people from their military power and restore all virtues."

But people with a little bit of brains understand that the peak of imperial power is because of the support of the forbidden army, the status of the generals of the forbidden army, and the control of the team are the most effective in the Ming Dynasty, and the large army of the forbidden army established with the two regiments as the backbone officers of the year is extremely close to the generals of Wang Tong's department.

What kind of strong army is the Huwei Army, we can know from the brilliant victories in the past, what kind of forces are involved behind the legions, and the palace understands that for example, the most prominent generals and the richest businessmen today have such and such close relationships with them.

However, Emperor Wanli was one step late this time, and Wang Tong's envoy went on the road one step earlier than the envoy sent by the palace, and arrived at Zi everywhere one step earlier.

The Zhu family has a congenital problem, that is, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's killing of heroes is too famous, and the impact is too great, "Ming Yingzong killed Yu Qian, as for Jiang Bin and Qian Ning after Zhengde's death, it is not a good example, and now this situation is unprecedented, "The society is prosperous, the territory is expanded, the country is destroyed and the king is killed, the generals have made great contributions, how to look at it, it is similar to the time when the Ming Dynasty opened the country", and then too much news in the palace was leaked out, as if the metaphor of "thorns", Emperor Taizu said this to his descendants, Now that Emperor Wanli also said this to his son, these "thorns" naturally frightened him.

How many things Wang Tong has done and how many great contributions he has made, everyone sees this, and he has been suppressed several times and has been willing to retreat, and everyone knows that this person is a loyal minister, he has done so many things for the Ming Dynasty, and has made so many meritorious achievements, but now it is this end, and everyone is cold.

Moreover, the forbidden army legion and the interest groups behind it have developed so much so far, how many things have been snatched from the gentry's side, if Wang Tong falls, the civilian clique will definitely be liquidated, is it possible that so much money and land now, as well as this majestic power, will disappear?

The interests are at stake, and everyone's position is immediately unified, and each regiment of the forbidden army is nominally the head of Li Hutou, "but in fact it is stationed in various places, which is equivalent to the general of the general army, and has the right to play."

Han Gang was the first, Sun Xin was second, and a number of generals played one after another, and the last one was Litao, and the Lijia of Jizhen "ran and killed hundreds of horses during this period of time in order to communicate with Litao."

Everyone's recital is an attitude of "why is a general like Li Hutou assassinated" to ask the imperial court to investigate thoroughly, the words are humble and sincere, but the meaning of the recital is very clear, if the imperial court does not give an explanation, then everyone is afraid that they will not be at ease, if they are not at ease, what will happen to the uncontrollable troops, it is difficult to say.

"For the imperial family, the situation deteriorated rapidly" Several senior eunuchs in the inner palace committed suicide "to bear this responsibility by death, the emperor also sent his closest servants to explain to Wang Tong, but the rift between the two sides has appeared, Wang Tong stayed in Tianjin for health reasons, and no longer returned to Beijing, according to more reliable information, Wang Tong is indeed sick...... ",..................

"I've been following my husband for so many years, and I've never seen him like this."

Han Xia said to Zhang Hongying in private.

The news of Li Hutou's assassination reached Wang Tong late at night, and Wang Tong was very calm at the time, and sent people to contact reliable cronies in the city while asking the guards at home to prepare carriages and horses.

At this position, it is impossible to say that Wang Tong does not have a certain preparation, Shi Qi withdrew the private soldiers he had raised after getting Wang Tong's permission, "A cadre of secret agents who monitored the county king's mansion, and all those who did not belong to Wang Tong were killed at night, and the news was completely blocked.

The east gate of the Beijing Division, which was garrisoned by the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, opened more than half an hour earlier than before, and the armored cavalry escorted the convoy of Wang Tong's family and rushed out of the city gate.

Wang Tong's arrangement in Beijing and Tianjin is quite thorough, there are more than 500 ironclad cavalry escort in the Beijing division, and when he arrives in Tongzhou, the number of cavalry is already more than 1,000, such a force is enough to block the pursuit of the Beijing division that can be mobilized for a period of time, to ensure that Wang Tong enters the territory of Xianghe County, and when he arrives there, "it is where Han Gang's regiment is stationed."

When Wang Tong arrived at Tianjin Wei, Tianjin Wei was immediately full of emotion, and the leading figures came out to greet him, it is worth noting that Cai Nan, the supervising army, also walked out to welcome, Jizhen Tianjin Wei Staff General came out to welcome, and Tianjin Tongzhi came out to welcome, but Tianjin Bingbei Road did not come out to welcome, and the rest of the officials and rich people all walked out to welcome.

Tianjin Wei is the city of Wangtong, where it has long maintained two gunboats of the Ten Seas and more than 20 armed ships of various kinds, not to mention the escort force of the Sanjiang system, which is full of tens of thousands of people, and these militias are all veterans of the Huwei Army as the backbone" are well-equipped.

Don't say that "Wang Tong can mobilize reinforcements from the sea...... Wang Tong lived in the mansion on the side of Tianjin Weihai Port, and orders and arrangements were issued from the mansion, and after everything was arranged, Wang Tong stayed in the study by himself, and the report could come at any time, but now almost everything was arranged, and the next thing was to wait for the response from the palace and other places. In fact, it was just a time to be alone, and everyone was interested in not disturbing him.

Others are okay, but Han Xia can't help but go, Wang Xia was arranged to go to North Korea after he was fifteen years old, so that he could start training as an ordinary soldier under Tan Jian, and now the child is outside, in case there is a mistake, and it is such a situation, Han Xia is really worried.

When I went to the study, the guards naturally wouldn't stop me" Han Xia walked outside the study, but saw that the door of the study was ajar, and from the crack in the door, Wang Tong could be seen sitting at the desk with his hands covering his eyes" His shoulders shrugged, and he could hear the sound of gasping, and Wang Tong sat in front of the bookcase and cried.

Han Xia saw her man like this for the first time, and she had mixed feelings for a while, and she waited outside for a long time before entering, and she didn't see Wang Tong's red eyes.

Wang Xia had already made arrangements, and there was already a clipper ship going to North Korea" and Tan Jian's regiment also had Wang Tong's absolute credibility to arrange" Wang Xia's safety would not be a problem.

………………

"The suppressed civilian-bureaucratic clique thought it was their chance, but their actions were not worth mentioning in the face of swords, gold and silver, and Wang Tong made a quick counterattack" The industries of those officials in the DPRK and China have one kind of relationship with Wang Tong's business empire, and all officials who make a clear statement to stand on the opposite side of Wang Tong will go bankrupt within a month" The rest of the officials are either on Wang Tong's side, or they have not dared to express their strength"

"Lu Wancai, the garrison magistrate of the Beijing Division, is Wang Tong's confidant, and he was removed from his post immediately after Wang Tong left the capital" was also removed from his post along with Li Wenyuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, but there were too many Wang Tong's people in Jinyiwei and other magistrates' offices in Beijing, and the capital was "completely a sieve" for Wang Tong......

The Li family and the Ma family did not hesitate to choose to stand on Wang Tong's side, and the Chen family and the Tang family, who had already controlled the forbidden army and the Beijing camp, also began to remain neutral after waiting for a while.

After Emperor Wanli found out that the military did not stand with him at all, he finally realized that he could not do anything, he was not Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Tong was not Xu Da and Chang Yuchun who died of illness, nor were they those founding heroes who obediently waited for death, although Wang Tong was loyal, he was not defenseless, he had 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 it is difficult to stop when many things are moved.

And when it comes to such a situation, even if Wang Tong and Wanli want to stop, they can't stop, how many people are looking forward to this, especially Wang Tong's side.

There are rumors in a very small circle, and when the news reaches Xu Guangguo, Xu Guangguo's first reaction is by no means sadness and regret.
