Chapter 312 Dilemma

After hearing the report from the two, Yinreng's face immediately became gloomy. Is this the prince so unpopular? There were only 12,000 soldiers and horses left in the entire capital, and there were only 24,000 soldiers and horses brought back from Tianjin. It was a bit stretched to protect the Forbidden City, the Imperial City, Changchun Garden, and the 16 gates inside and outside the capital. [.]

As he was pondering, his first-class guard Suo Antai continued: "Report to the master, all the concubines with a slightly higher grade in the harem have moved to Changchun Garden."

When Yinreng heard this, he frowned. He was guarding against him to injure the harem. Lao Wu, Lao Jiu and the others were really considerate. After pondering for a moment, he asked: "Lao Wu, Lao Jiu, where are the officials left behind in Beijing?"

Suo Antai hurriedly bowed and said, "By the master, all of these people went to Fengtai camp with the military camp."

Yinreng nodded slightly. This situation fell to his expectations. He held many ministers and relatives in his hand, with a few more or less. He didn't care. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Although it is easy to enter the capital, you still need to pay more attention to it if you want to firmly control the capital. From now on, the defense of the Forbidden City will be taken over by Soantai, and the defense of the imperial city will be handled by Choerji. Feng Changgui, the chief of the Guardians of the Guardians, assigned 10,000 troops to you. Be sure to keep the nine inside and seven outside and sixteen city gates firmly. There is insufficient manpower. Recruiting soldiers on the spot in the capital. After several recruitment of the Eight Banners, there is not much left. There is no limit, no distinction between the Han and Mongolians. As long as they meet the conditions and are willing to call, they will be summoned."

The three of them bowed to take the order together, Chuoerji raised his body and said, "How to resettle the officials and relatives who came back to Beijing with the army, please ask the prince to show his instructions."

"Find a place to settle them at the Xi'anmen Gate of the Imperial City. A group of children and servants will be condemned and returned to the mansion." Yinreng pondered: "In addition, we will immediately send people to take over the major warehouses, especially the military warehouse and the granary, and immediately go to the Ministry of Justice's Prison. Xinzheku will lead Qi Shiwu, Heqi, Eshan, Geng'er, Hutu, Wuli and others to bring me to see me."

Several people took the order and left, but Yinreng did not move. The imperial city and the imperial palace were not cleaned up and rectified, and it was not so safe. Since he had already controlled the capital, he was not in a hurry to enter the palace. At present, what he needed most was manpower. When a group of confidants came out, he could immediately summon his old subordinates, so that they would not worry about not having any troops.

Fengtai Camp is the largest and highest-ranking military camp in the capital. It covers a vast area and has many barracks. Although 30,000 people rushed in, there was still no chaos and crowding at all. The battalions were all in order.

In the central army's tent, the eighth prince Yinsi, the ninth prince Yinzhen, the tenth prince Yinyi, the prince Yu Baotai, the prince Bumuba, the prince of Shuncheng, the prince of Beilemandu, Orondai, Maqi, Xiao Yongzao, and He Zhuo gathered together.

After Prince Yinreng entered the capital, spies kept coming from the action of the prince in various ways. Seeing the information about the prince sending people to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the eighth prince Yinsi couldn't help but feel sank. He looked up at Xiao Yongzao and said, "Crown Prince, have you ever been guarding against those gangs?"

"Don't worry, all the prince and his gang members will be dealt with cleanly." Xiao Yongzao replied with a smile: "The most powerful troops in the capital are more than 7,000 people from the three banners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. No one can be transferred except He Yi, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He Yi is indifferent and never intervenes in party disputes. He has always been trusted by the emperor. The prince cannot do anything to him for a while. The eighth master can be at ease."

Yinsi nodded and felt relieved. The prince was no longer available and there was no soldier to send. See what tricks he could do in the capital? It was just that how to rescue the hostage ministers and relatives, everyone could not think of a proper way for a while, which made him quite anxious. It seemed that he could only wait for the fourth brother to come before discussing.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the tenth prince Yinyi provoked the verbal saying, "The prince is betrayal of his relatives. In addition, the starry brother and the fourteenth brother join forces, there is basically no hope. The problem is, if the prince is solved, how should we deal with the relationship with the fourteenth brother?"

All the people here are all talented. How could this question be thought of? Ma Qi then said: "Although the prince is violent, he has been in the top position for a long time and is well aware of the way of power and strategy. The Tenth Master should not be underestimated. At present, the whereabouts of the emperor are unknown. The prince's status is extremely appealing. There is never a shortage of opportunities in the officialdom. Those who change their minds will delay for two or three days. There is still no news from the emperor. I don't know how many officials will fall to the prince. Once the prince ascends the throne, the outcome will be unpredictable."

Prince Yu Baotai frowned and said, "What is the specific situation of the emperor? As soon as the Fourteenth Master arrives, he should be able to make it clear to the world."

"This is hard to say." Bumuba continued: "If the emperor dies, the Fourteenth Master will definitely not say it, because once this news comes out, the Prince Dali. If the emperor is safe, how could he remain indifferent? He sent three thousand navy troops to the capital? He must be held hostage by the Fourteenth Master. In this way, the Fourteenth Master will not say it. I expected the Fourteenth Master to keep silent."

Mandu asked seriously: "If the emperor is seriously ill, so what?"

"Even if you are seriously ill, the emperor will hand it over to the 14th Master with a token to mobilize the troops in Tianjin." Bumuba said affirmatively.

The eighth prince Yinsi did not want to talk more about this topic and quickly changed the topic: "Once the prince consolidates the situation in the capital, he will inevitably ascend the throne without delay. How many days will he need to stabilize the situation in the capital?"

"It is expected that it will be difficult to consolidate the situation in the capital in ten days and half a month." Xiao Yongzao said calmly: "The prince has no soldiers in his hands. Although Longkodo did not dare to damage the artillery on the city wall when he evacuated, he destroyed all the gunpowder stock. The main craftsmen in the gunpowder workshop were also taken out of the city. Under the threat of the 30,000 troops outside the city, it is difficult to consolidate the safety of the capital in a few days."

Orondai said with disdain, "What a great thing is it to be the new emperor ascends the throne? Without the support of all princes and ministers, he dares to be the emperor? He will not temporarily reward a group of princes and ministers, so wouldn't it be a laughing stock for the world? Even if he can divide and disintegrate some princes and ministers, it will take time, and it will definitely not be possible in two or three days."

The central tent of the infantry barracks, Li Guangdi, Zhang Pengchong and Longkodo were sitting speechless. They had already done everything they should do and could do, and now they were just waiting for the 14th Prince to come.

After a while of silence, Li Guangdi said, "Mr. Long, you are familiar with the army. How many days will it take for the infantry to march from Tianjin to Beijing?"

"The normal marching speed of infantry without restraint can reach fifty to sixty miles a day, and force marching can reach eighty miles a day." Longkodo opened his mouth and said, "Tianjin is only more than 270 miles away from the capital, and it should be available in four days. The last general will send cavalry to Tongzhou to pick up the Fourteenth Master tomorrow."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the surprise report from the personal guards outside: "Report to the military gate, the Fourteenth Master has arrived at the gate of the camp."
