Chapter 133 The Backbone, Prince Yu
It is extremely cold at the fifth watch of the night, and the chilly autumn night seems to have a trace of frost and dew, making this time of autumn, which is supposed to be refreshing, inexplicably feel a bit chilly. .
Zhu Zaijing stood in front of the large square where the workers of Shunyi Industrial Park gathered, with a solemn expression and calm eyes, waiting for Feng Bao to arrive. Meng Chong, Chen Hong, Li Fang and others also stood in front of Zhu Zaijing fearfully. After Zai Jing's death.
Looking at the few heads on the ground because of the negative military orders, Meng Chong and the others' hearts were trembling. They never dreamed that the usually kind and loving Prince Yu would have such a murderous side. , and it’s still so shocking.
Not only were they frightened by Zhu Zaijing's momentum at this moment, but also the workers gathered in the square. At this moment, they finally realized what "military orders are like a mountain"!
It turns out that this mountain-like military order is so important, but if you are negligent and have no intention, you may lose your life.
So at this moment, the workers who had already obeyed the order to assemble on time could not help but feel happy that they had not gotten carried away and turned a deaf ear to the order of militarized management of the industrial park.
Although at the moment when Zhu Zaijing killed someone, they also thought that they were just working people. Do they have to work so hard?
But when they think that all the benefits promised by Zhu Zaijing have been fulfilled one by one, and that they have been ordered to carry out militarized management from the moment they entered the industrial park, some people think that they are getting carried away during the big festival. If you don't take emergency gatherings seriously, it's no wonder that you are being set up as a model.
Feng Bao followed Teng Xiang anxiously, "Where is the prince?"
Teng Xiang listened to Feng Bao's anxious voice and didn't say much. He just walked quickly, "The prince is in the square in front."
This was also the first time for Feng Bao to come to Shunyi. Hearing Teng Xiang's words, he couldn't help but look at the dark front in the weak moonlight. Apart from only seeing some dancing torch flames, he couldn't see clearly.
After all, it is no longer the summer season when the days are long and the nights are short. Although the fifth watch is the brightest day in summer, in late autumn, the fifth watch is already completely dark. Without light it would be difficult to see the way ahead.
Just when Feng Bao followed Teng Xiang quickly, anxious for Zhu Zaijing's physical and mental safety, he finally followed Teng Xiang to Zhu Zaijing.
After he saw clearly the situation around Zhu Zaijing, his heart trembled and his face turned pale with fright.
What's going on? Why are there several heads in front of the prince? Why does the prince stand here so coldly and calmly?
The scene before him was completely beyond Feng Bao’s cognition. When Feng Bao heard Teng Xiang say that the prince was also in the industrial park, he thought that the prince was frightened at this moment and was waiting for rescue in panic. .
But in this scene before me, how does it look like someone is panicking and waiting for rescue?
This is completely ready to go, like an unsheathed sword!
"Slave Feng Bao meets the prince."
Faced with Zhu Zaijing's momentum and the psychological oppression of nearly 10,000 people in the square, Feng Bao could not help but bow to Zhu Zaijing in fear.
Zhu Zaijing glanced back at Feng Bao and said, "Get up and convey what you want to say to me and everyone here."
Zhu Zaijing pointed out He pointed to the stage on the side and the loudspeaker on the stage, and asked Feng Bao to tell everyone his intention directly.
After hearing Zhu Zaijing’s instructions, Feng Bao couldn’t help but take a breath of cold air. Can such a big thing be made public?
What if this statement suddenly frightens these ordinary workers who have never seen a weapon and are so frightened that they have to flee for their lives in a panic?
Feng Bao hurriedly bowed to Zhu Zaijing again: "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance and cannot be spread outside. If it causes a riot and mutiny, it is not a joke."
Zhu Zaijing said lightly: "Okay. , then just stand here and tell me.”
Feng Bao really didn’t guess Zhu Zaijing’s final meaning, but looking at everything in front of him, Feng Bao knew that the matter was not that simple. .
"Your Majesty, because the bandits invaded the capital, the servants were ordered to supervise the Royal Horse Guards and the Fourth Guard Battalion with 6,000 soldiers and horses to take over the Shunyi Industrial Park and protect the personnel and property for safe evacuation." Feng Bao concisely called himself to the airport. The order was recounted to Zhu Zaijing.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Feng Bao again and asked: "What are the configurations of these six thousand soldiers and horses? How many horses are there? What are the weapons and equipment?"
Feng Bao was stunned for a moment, he did not expect Zhu Zaijing to be there. Will ask him this question.
At this time, Teng Xiang said seriously on the side: "Didn't you hear what the prince said? You know what to say!"
Feng Bao couldn't help but shrink his neck and said carefully: "Six thousand soldiers and horses, There are two thousand cavalry, two thousand firearms, and two thousand ordinary infantry. The cavalry is equipped with light armor, fire guns, long swords, etc. The firearms soldiers are equipped with one thousand fire guns, two hundred tiger cannons, and several standard swords and guns. . The infantry is equipped with wind trains, spears, heavy swords, rattan armor, etc."
After hearing the configuration of six thousand soldiers and horses reported by Feng Bao, Zhu Zaijing immediately made a plan in his mind.
Zhu Zaijing said: "The military situation is like a fire. As your Majesty's son, I am bound by the hearts of the people. You cannot leave before the battle. From now on, I will temporarily take over the authority of the admiral of the four guards and six thousand troops. You all will obey the orders and will not violate the orders." The one who killed him!"
Zhu Zaijing said his plan without hesitation, and directly deprived Feng Bao of his military power and took charge of it as a prince.
As soon as these words came out, although everyone present was mentally prepared, they still couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Since Jingnan, it has become a rule that although princes are respected, they cannot go to war. However, any prince or feudal prince who dares to go to war will be punished as treason.
So as soon as Zhu Zaijing said these words, Feng Bao knelt down and cried in fear, "My lord, you can't do it. If this is true, what will happen to your future?" ”
At the same time, Meng Chong, Teng Xiang and others also looked at Zhu Zaijing and Feng Bao with fear.
"If the capital falls and the emperor is humiliated, how can I, the king, talk about the future?"
Zhu Zaijing, however, continued unmoved: "Follow the power in a hurry, and now the enemy is a formidable enemy. At present, I am the only one out there. If I cannot stand up to reassure the people in the suburbs of Beijing and set an example for the soldiers who have forgotten their lives, the bandits will surely trample all over the country. What's more, they may destroy our imperial mausoleum and disturb the spirits of our ancestors. . ”
“How can I care about my personal gain and loss at the expense of my ancestors and the people? If I do this, I will be ashamed to be a descendant of the Zhu family and the son of your majesty.”
"The capital will be safe for a long time. Since the Tumu Fort, there has been no beacon fire for a hundred years. The fear of people is extremely worrying. If I am also greedy for life and afraid of death at this moment, and flee in fear of fighting, then hundreds of thousands of people in the suburbs of Beijing will How can we fight with peace of mind and tens of thousands of garrison soldiers? ”
"Although I am not talented, I still have a heart to share my father's worries and solve problems. You are now standing with me, and there is no way out. You should think carefully at this moment, and you will follow me. Will you be loyal to your father and earn an eternal reputation, or will you be afraid of war and become a ghost under the sword?"
Zhu Zaijing's determined gaze swept across the crowd. At this moment, he had complete control over the entire audience. Became the backbone of everyone.
