The fire in the summer palace, Wu Haogu's whereabouts were unknown, Yelu Aoluo rebelled, and the news that the Republic encountered a major crisis should be strictly blocked...

If the same thing happened in the Song Dynasty, it would definitely be necessary to block the news, close all the doors of Kaifeng Prefecture, and then have a martial law and curfew.

But Tianjin may have been negligent. Such scary news has actually appeared on the front pages of major newspapers in a blatant way!

Moreover, there was no martial law in Tianjin and the Border River channel was not blocked. As if nothing had happened, Qin Hui, who was disguised, hired a clutch to run to Sanhe Fortress.

Stationed at the Sanhekou Fortress is the Hejianfu Road Strategic Pacification Envoy Zhong Shidao. There are currently three Pacification Envoy under the Xuanfu Department of Hebei, namely Hejianfu Road, which is responsible for the defense west of the Yellow River, Cangzhou Road, which is responsible for the defense east of the Yellow River, and Damingfu Road, which is guarding Kaifeng Prefecture.

In addition, the Song Dynasty also set up a vassal Zhaoyi Army in the western part of Hebei on the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains to control the victory of the Taihang Mountains.

Even if the Great Zhou defeated the Three Hebei Pacifications of the Song Dynasty, as long as the Zhao Yi army could withstand it, the Zhou State would not be able to quickly go south to Kaifeng Prefecture.

In this way, the Song Dynasty court will have the opportunity to achieve strategic transfer...

In other words, the arrangement of the Three Pacifications and the One Vandal Government was actually defensive. However, when a large number of new military officers and soldiers settled in Hejianfu Road and the front-line fortress under Cangzhou Road, the senior officials of the Song Dynasty who were in charge of Hebei's military affairs suddenly discovered that there was always a force pushing the war between the Song Dynasty and the Zhou Kingdom!

The suggestions and plans for the raid on Tianjin were formulated by the following people on their own initiative and sent to the desks of the appeasers and pacifiers. The battalions stationed on the front line were restless and occasionally had an armed confrontation with the Zhou army opposite!

Therefore, Zhong Shidao on Hejian Road, Wang Bing on Cangzhou Road, Lu Yihao who was in charge of Hejian Prefecture, and Yao Gu, the commander of the Xuanfu Division, were busy suppressing a group of new army officers who could run wild at any time. At the same time, they also had to distinguish the authenticity of various enemy information reports sent by them... These people all missed the imperial guards who had been scattered in the past.

On the fourth day of the August 19th, when all kinds of unimaginable news were reported to Lu Yihao, Zhong Shidao, Wang Bing and others, their first reaction was that someone was causing trouble. It was not the Zhou army opposite who was causing trouble, but the restless officers below were causing trouble!

But when the morning of the fifth day of August, Zhong Shizhong, the general manager of the Hejian Prefecture Road, accompanied Qin Hui, deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty Embassy in Tianjin, arrived in Hejian Prefecture in a row, Lu Yihao and Yao Gu realized that they had wrongly blamed the people below.

The innocence of the Great Zhou has collapsed!

"If this is the case, it's really God bless the Emperor Song!" Yao Gu, the commander of the Xuanfusi Division, took a breath and bowed to Lu Yihao, "Supervisor Xuan, you must not miss the opportunity! If the chaos in Zhou Dynasty ends, the Song Dynasty will lose the opportunity to be in a world!"

Lu Yihao looked at Qin Hui, and Qin Hui said, "When Wu Haogu died, the Zhou Kingdom will inevitably have no leader, and even if the sons are killed each other, it is expected. As far as Hui knows, there have always been Yi and Yijiu factions in the Wu family. Now Wu Yiyong, Wu Yixin is the leader of the army. Wu Yijiu wants to win the throne by electing the head of state... Even if he can be elected, his two brothers will probably not be convinced!"

Lu Yihao held his beard and thought for a while. Qin Hui was right! Wu Yijiu took advantage of his brother's absence and his father died suddenly and wanted to choose a head of state. No matter how you say this, it is all about robbing the shift and seizing power! The correct way is to wait until the two brothers come back before discussing the issue of successors.

Moreover, Wu Haogu’s arrangement was also confused. How could he let his two sons lead troops outside? The "Prince" led troops! It has been a taboo since ancient times, and the "old emperor" died suddenly, so it would be strange if he didn’t fight!

"What are the available strategies?" Lu Yihao asked.

"There is one!" Zhong Shizhong said immediately, "The Jiyifang on Hejian Road has formulated a strategy to advance to Tianjin in the name of assisting Wuyi Jiu.

There are now three generals in Sanhekou Fortress and its surrounding areas, with a total of 15,000 troops, and 10,000 people can be dispatched at any time."

"Is 10,000 people enough?" Lu Yihao asked, "Didn't it mean that 100,000 people were sent?"

It was Yue Fei's idea to mobilize 100,000 people. It was his idea to mobilize the most troops to take the shortcut to Tianjin in Sanhekou. 100,000 people were the most troops that the Hebei Xuanfu Department could dispatch...

Following Yue Fei's suggestion, if the Xuanfu Department is determined to do something, it should go all out to attack Tianjin! There is no need to divide the troops and attack together, just take a shortcut.

And it may not be necessary to wait for the cold weather, and it is no problem not to go to the ice surface of the Border River. The key is to concentrate all your efforts! If 100,000 people are overwhelmed and catch Zhou Jun off guard, he will have more than 70% chance of winning.

Even if the power cannot be seized in Tianjin, it can destroy a large number of facilities outside Tianjin. Many workshops, warehouses, wharves, schools, and pastures in Tianjin are not within the city walls. Instead, they are scattered along the border rivers outside the city.

Once a large number of facilities outside the city are destroyed, the vitality of Tianjin and the entire Zhou Kingdom will be greatly damaged.

In this way, Zhou State lost the opportunity and would at least be passive for a long time.

"More than 10,000 people are enough!" Zhong Shizhong said, "Now the civil strife in Zhou State is right in front of us. People are in a panic. How can they have the courage to resist the imperial soldiers?

Besides, Wuyi has not had any military force for a long time and is also the official's son-in-law. If the official can grant him a Tianjin prince like the King of East China Sea, he might also welcome the imperial army!"

Lu Yihao looked at Qin Hui again, and Qin Hui said, "When the officials were in Tianjin, I heard that Wu Yijiu and Emperor Ji were in love with each other, and Wu Yijiu was quite kind to the official family. He also planned to accompany Emperor Ji to Kaifeng to visit relatives after the spring next year!"

"Then it depends on the two brothers Wu Yiyong and Wu Yixin," said Lu Yihao. "If these two men raise their troops to rebel, then Wu Yijiu can only surrender to the court."

Zhong Shizhong immediately proposed, "Supervisor Xuan, the lower officials will go back immediately, summon troops, and at the same time, they are sending a detailed plan to enter Tianjin to inquire about the news."

"Okay." Lu Yihao thought for a while, "I will go with you! Yao General, how many soldiers can be dispatched here in Hejian Mansion?"

"A general!" Yao Gudao, "you can be dispatched today."

"Okay, that's 15,000 people!" Lu Yihao rubbed his hands, "Meet, you can work harder and hurry back to Tianjin immediately. Find a way to meet Emperor Maode and inform Emperor Mei about the news that we can send troops to help Wu Yijiu.

In addition, we must pay close attention to the development of the situation. Once Wu Yiyong and Wu Yixin raises troops, we will immediately send someone to inform Sanhebao."

Although Qin Hui had not closed his eyes for a day and night, his eyes were red, but now it was a critical moment, so he didn't dare to delay at all. He didn't even have time to use the hot mouth. He brought some dry food and changed his horse and immediately went to Tianjin. At noon on the sixth day of the August 1st, Qin Hui arrived at the southern terminal of Tianjin, which is mainly passenger transport.

The atmosphere on the South Pier has become very tense, with soldiers wearing armor and holding sharp-wielding stars appearing, and a long queue that is out of sight before boarding the port.

Qin Hui arrived in disguise and made a move. Of course, he was secretly happy that Zhou State must be in a state of turmoil! Maybe it was already in chaos!

He couldn't wait to go back to the embassy, ​​so he found a newspaper vendor on the dock, stuffed a few Republican Tongbao, asked for a "Republic Daily" and asked by the way: "What day is today? Why are so many people queuing up to board the boat?"

"The guest must be a Song Dynasty man, right?" The newspaper vendor asked back, and without waiting for Qin Hui to answer, he continued, "You are really not the time to come... There is something big about our Great Zhou Kingdom! The Khitans made trouble and burned the summer palace where the head of state was located. The whereabouts of the head of state were unknown. The Dading Prefecture and the Korqin Grassland were already in chaos!"

It seems that Wu Haogu has not appeared yet!

Qin Hui is so happy!

Wu Haogu has not appeared yet, which means he is in danger...

Once Wu Haogu dies, most of the Zhou Dynasty will be in civil unrest!

Thinking of this, he picked up the newspaper and opened it. There was a big news on the front page that Mr. Wu Yijiu, a noble citizen, was elected as a veteran of Nankai District!

Below this news, another big news is another big news. The Senate will hold an emergency meeting today to elect the acting head of state.

Seeing this, Qin Hui could basically be sure that Wu Haogu was dead. Now he is just a secret funeral, and he must first hold Wu Yi to the throne of the head of state.

Perhaps Wuyi is in a long-term situation in Tianjin, but will the generals who lead troops outside Tianjin buy it?

Wu Yijiu is rich but not soldiers. Unless he gets allegiance from the generals who are leading troops outside, his head of state will be empty!

Thinking of this, Qin Hui hurried out of the dock area, rented a carriage, and headed straight for the Song Dynasty Embassy.

At the same time, a closed-door meeting of the Senate was being held. The newly elected veteran Wu Yijiu spoke loudly on the podium, calling on everyone to elect himself as the acting head of the Great Zhou Republic.

Like Qin Hui, Wu Yijiu has been sleepless these two days and is visiting elders one by one to canvass himself. Those who are working with him to stay asleep are Zhang Zhifeng, the Minister of War and Lin Chong.

Zhang Zhifeng is Wu Yijiu's senior brother in the Law School. Yijiu also listened to Zhang Zhifeng's lectures when he was studying at the Law School. The two have always had a good relationship. He was the one who brought Wu Yijiu back to Tianjin from the South Bank Fortress.

Lin Chong was one of the several veterans who were left by Wu Yijiu after the night meeting of the Wu family's house that day. He did not have a strong sense of existence in Wu Haogu's system, had no military background, and had no great influence in the business world.

However, Lin Chong and Lin Wancheng and his son both served as police inspectors in Tianjin (Jiehe) City. Most of Lin Chong's sons also worked in the police inspectors in Zhou State. The Lin family is a family of police officers.

In addition, Lin Chong also served as the head of the intelligence room of the Dujun Pilot Department and was the intelligence leader of the Republican Army.

It would be strange if this Leopard Head didn't have a bunch of black materials related to the elders of each family! With him, Wu Yijiu would be much more confident when he was reasonable with others!
