My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 613 Taking over the Fifth Military Camp

In the British Palace, when Zhang Fu saw Zhu Zhanji in the crowd, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Zhang Fu behind him was even more shocked. He thought Zhu Zhanji had been blocked in the imperial city by Zhu Gaoxu, but he did not expect that he Escaped.

I saw Zhu Zhanji wearing the clothes of a palace guard. He even had scratches on his face and his hair was a little messy. He looked quite embarrassed.

"Young Lord, the King of Han has rebelled. Xia Shangshu and others are blocked in the palace and cannot get out. I can't trust the others. The only one I can count on is you, Lord British!"

When Zhu Zhanji saw Zhang Fu, he quickly stepped forward excitedly and grabbed his hand.

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhang Fu next to him was also very anxious, because he was more inclined to Zhu Gaoxu, but just now Zhang Fu chose not to help each other. Now Zhu Zhanji is here in person. Based on his understanding of his eldest brother, I am afraid that he Will be shaken by this.

Sure enough, Zhang Fu hesitated slightly when he heard the words, and then said seriously: "I am an Ming minister, and I should do my best to serve your majesty!"

"Great, with the British Duke here, my Ming Dynasty will never fall into the hands of those rebellious ministers and traitors!"

When Zhu Zhanji heard this, tears filled his eyes with excitement, and at the same time he shook Zhang Fu's hands heavily.

Zhang Fu, who was standing next to him, saw that his eldest brother had indeed expressed his stance, which made him sigh inwardly. In his opinion, his eldest brother was good at everything, but he only had two shortcomings. One was that he did not know how to teach children, which caused his eldest son Zhang Zhong to have a relationship with him. The second reason for breaking up is that he is too pedantic, full of loyal and patriotic thoughts, but does not know how to gain benefits for himself.

Zhang Fu chose to help Zhu Zhanji, which was actually normal. He originally wanted to help both sides, but Zhu Zhanji came to invite him personally, which gave him no room to retreat. After all, in his heart, he was Zhu Zhanji. The ministers of Zhu Gaoxu.

In the original history, when Zhu Gaoxu rebelled, he wanted to win over Zhang Fu to help him, but Zhang Fu immediately chose to inform Zhu Zhanji. In fact, this was also the reason.

So Zhang Fu ordered all his generals and servants to accompany Zhu Zhanji to the camp in the north of the city, where the most important garrison in Beijing was stationed, which was the Fifth Military Camp, the head of the three major camps.

The Fifth Army Camp was a field army formed by Zhu Di who mobilized elite cavalry and infantry from all over the country. Zhang Fu has been serving as the chief military officer of the Fifth Army Camp. The entire Fifth Army Camp can be said to have been trained by Zhang Fu, so Zhang Fu has This army can be controlled with absolute confidence.

The city of Beijing is now in chaos. Everyone knows that Zhu Gaoxu has entered the imperial city. The situation is unknown now, and the garrison in the city does not dare to move. The nobles and officials from various families also have different reactions. Some people are excited to join forces, while others are Staying at home and watching the changes, some people are trying to take over the power of the garrison in the chaos, and they don’t know what they want to do?
However, the chaos in the city was limited to the upper echelons. For ordinary people, they just knew that there was a big change in the city, so they hid back home one after another. The streets were almost deserted. For them, who was the emperor was not important. What was important was What's for dinner tonight?

Zhang Fu protected Zhu Zhanji and ran all the way, and finally came to Desheng Gate in the north. Due to an incident in the city, the city gate was closed. However, as Zhang Fu, he could easily open the city gate, and to be careful During the operation, Zhu Zhanji has been hiding among the guards and has not exposed his identity.

After exiting Deshengmen, not far ahead is the headquarters of the Fifth Army Camp. The Fifth Army Camp still doesn’t know what happened in the capital, so everything in the military camp is as usual. When Zhang Fu and others arrived, the camp was even going on with its daily routine. of training.

As the chief military officer, Zhang Fu was usually responsible for the drills of the fifth military camp, so he entered the camp very smoothly, and then summoned the generals of the army to discuss matters.

It was only then that Zhu Zhanji came forward to identify himself, which surprised the generals of the fifth military camp. These generals had followed Zhu Di in his northern expedition and had all met Zhu Zhanji.

Then Zhu Zhanji issued an order to hand over the command of the Fifth Army Camp to Zhang Fu, because Zhang Fu usually only has the power to train troops and has no command authority unless the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army and the Ministry of War issue an order. But now the situation is urgent, Zhu Zhanji As an emperor, of course he can give orders directly.

After Zhang Fu took over the fifth army camp, he immediately ordered the entire army to assemble.

The Fifth Army Camp has 10,000+ troops, mainly stationed around the capital, but the main elite of the Fifth Army Camp is here in the north of the city, with a total of 3 people, also known as the Chinese Army.After the [-]-strong army was assembled, Zhang Fu placed his confidants among the army, mainly to facilitate his control of the army. Then he protected Zhu Zhanji and charged into the city in a mighty manner.

It was still Desheng Gate, but this time Zhang Fu immediately sent his men to take over the city gate after entering. After all, Zhu Gaoxu had easily entered the city before, so the guards at the gates could no longer be trusted.

After [-] troops entered the city, Zhu Zhanji also urged Zhang Fu to kill the imperial city. After all, he escaped alone, and his family members, including the Queen Mother Zhang, were all in the imperial city. He was also very worried now.

However, Zhang Fu advised Zhu Zhanji to calm down, because there are still many important places in the city. If these places are lost, it is likely to lead to chaos in the city. In comparison, although the imperial city is important, given his relationship with Zhu Gaoxu With good understanding, the other party will definitely not embarrass the female family members in the palace.

Zhu Zhanji also knew that what Zhang Fu said made sense, so he had to listen to his opinion. Then Zhang Fu assigned troops to take over some key positions in the city, such as various city gates and some garrisons, and finally led his army to attack Imperial City.

In fact, Zhang Fu also had some hesitation in his heart, because he didn't want to fight Zhu Gaoxu on the battlefield, but now they were each their own masters, and he couldn't help it.

After a while, the five military camps arrived at the imperial city. They saw that the gate of the imperial city was closed tightly, and the defenders on the top of the city became Zhu Gaoxu's men.

Zhang Fu commanded the army to surround each gate of the imperial city, but did not order an attack.

"Mr. British, what are you waiting for? Hurry and rush into the imperial city and rescue the Queen Mother and the others!"

Zhu Zhanji was confused when he thought of his family in the imperial city, and immediately urged Zhang Fu.

"Your Majesty, since the Queen Mother is in the hands of the King of Han, if we attack the city and anger the King of Han, I'm afraid..."

Zhang Fu didn't say any more when he said this, but he finally calmed down Zhu Zhanji. Now that Zhu Gaoxu had a hostage in his hands, it was really hard for him to use force.

At this moment, suddenly the gate of the imperial city opened, and Xia Yuanji walked out of the door alone.

When he saw Zhu Zhanji in the army, Xia Yuanji also showed an excited look, and immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother has ordered an old minister to come and report something to you!"

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Zhanji asked anxiously.

"An hour ago, Concubine He gave birth to a dragon son for you. Now mother and son are healthy!"

Xia Yuanji raised his head and reported with a wry smile, this prince was born at the wrong time.
