Family Rise: Beginning with Grandfather.

Chapter 465: A eunuch dares to act wildly in Chongshan Pass! Doesn't this Marquis have any face?
"City Guards! Wherever my Imperial Guards want to go, they need a warrant from the City Guards!"

The tall and thin man was a little impatient. He reached out from his waist, took out the bronze medal and showed it to the flag officer.

"We don't even need a warrant to enter the Imperial City, so why do we need one to enter the Chongshan Pass?"

The flag officer looked at the bronze plate and took a step back nervously. This was the first time he had seen such a token. Although many people had come to Chongshan Pass from Kyoto in recent years, they almost always sent someone to pass the message first, and then the General's Office or the Governor's Office issued an order to pass, or Yang Zhengshan and Pang Tang went out of the city to greet them personally.

The flag officer hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I hope your Excellency will forgive me. Without a warrant, foreign soldiers are not allowed to enter the city!"

This is a death order. Not to mention foreign soldiers and generals, even the five battalions of the garrison, except for the soldiers on duty, are not allowed to bring armor into the city.

If soldiers want to enter the city to buy things or go home, this is allowed, but they are not allowed to wear armor.

In the military, armor is the most important equipment, more important than weapons.

Without a mission, soldiers are not allowed to leave the camp with armor, let alone enter the city with armor.

As soon as the flag officer finished speaking, a hint of anger flashed in the tall and thin man's eyes.

"Step aside!"

He had lost his patience. It was simply a joke that the Imperial Guard was blocked outside the city by a few soldiers.

Along the way, no one dared to block their way. No matter where they came to, they would respectfully make way for them. But now, at this mountain pass, a flag officer guarding the gate dared to block their way.

"I hope you can forgive me!" The flag officer clasped his fists and bowed.

However, what he got in return was a horsewhip.

With a loud bang, the flag officer was caught off guard and flew more than ten feet away, falling heavily to the ground.

This instantly made the atmosphere in front of the city gate tense.

When the soldiers guarding the city saw their superior being beaten, they quickly drew their swords and guns and pointed them at the opposing cavalry outside. Several soldiers quickly stepped forward to block the flag officer.

"My lord, my lord!"

"Step aside!"

The tall and thin man shouted again in a cold voice, while moving closer to the city gate step by step.

The soldiers did not dare to attack actively and could only retreat step by step.

The chevaux de frise were removed, and the soldiers were forced into the city gate and then into the city wall.

At this time, the flag officer, who was supported by the soldiers, woke up from his coma.

The tall and thin man whipped him unconscious with a whip, and even the cotton armor on his chest was torn. The blood was deep and the cold air poured into the wound, making him almost unable to breathe.

"Blow the whistle!"

The flag officer pulled the whistle off his neck and handed it to the soldier beside him.

The next moment, a sharp whistle sounded, echoing throughout the city wall and into the city.

The tall and thin man's face became even gloomier as he listened to the whistle. He looked coldly at the flag officer who was unsteady on his feet, with murderous intent in his eyes not concealed at all.

But before he could react, the sound of iron armor rubbing against each other was heard, and neat and heavy footsteps came from the city gate inside the city.

Soon after, a large number of soldiers in iron armor poured out from the city gate, and at the same time, a large number of soldiers holding bows and arrows also emerged from the walls of the city.

"what happened?"

A captain from the right camp of Zhenbiao walked to the front with a solemn expression.

"Sir, they are forcing their way through the city gate!"

Captain Lin Anguo suddenly cast his gaze towards the group of cavalrymen, a fierce look flashing in his eyes.

Lin Anguo is not an ordinary person. He joined the Zhenbiao Camp a long time ago. When Liang Chu was in charge of Chongshan Town, he was a soldier in the Zhenbiao Camp. When Ji Feiyu was in charge of Chongshan Town, he was promoted to the captain of the Zhenbiao Rear Camp!
When Ji Feiyu rebelled and Yang Zhengshan led his army to attack Chongshan Pass, Lin Anguo was the first military officer in the rear camp of Zhenbiao to turn against his allies in the face of the enemy.

It was precisely because of this contribution that after Yang Zhengshan took charge of Chongshan Town, he was rewarded according to his merits and promoted to the rank of Qianzong of the right camp of the town flag.

Lin Anguo is a veteran who has experienced the Battle of the North and the Battle of Chongshan Town. He is a military officer who has climbed up step by step from the bottom.

If it weren't for his old age and the fact that his cultivation was only at the third level of the acquired realm, his current achievements would definitely be more than just a thousand-man commander.

The fact that he dared to change sides on the battlefield and lead his soldiers to fight bravely was enough to show that he was a man of courage, decisiveness and determination.

"Who are you? How dare you break into the mountain pass?" Lin Anguo asked coldly.

"The Imperial Guard is investigating a case! How dare you stop them?" Although the tall and thin man was angry, he did not dare to be too arrogant in the face of the current situation.

There were hundreds of arrows pointing at them on the city wall, and hundreds of armored soldiers blocking the city gate. Even if he had hundreds of masters of the Imperial Guard behind him, he couldn't say that he could stop the soldiers in front of him.

"Imperial Guard Division!"

Lin Anguo narrowed his eyes, he didn't know what kind of government office the Imperial Guard was. After all, the Imperial Guard was just an office within the imperial city and almost never left the imperial city.

Not to mention that he was a military officer in a border town, even the officials in Kyoto probably wouldn't understand what kind of office the Imperial Guard was.

"Put away your weapons, exit the city gate immediately, and wait for orders!"

"Before the order from the General's Office is issued, if you dare to step into the city gate again, you will be treated as a rioter!"

Lin Anguo had no intention of backing down.

He didn't know whether the Imperial Guard was powerful or not, but he knew that the military law of the Town Flag Five Battalions was very powerful.

He could not bear the responsibility of letting foreign soldiers into the city without permission.

If anything goes wrong, his superiors will most likely chop off his head according to military law.

The tall and thin man's face became increasingly ugly. He thought that since an official had arrived, he would be able to enter the city.

Unexpectedly, this official was also so ignorant that he didn't even give face to the Imperial Guards.

"Do you know what you are doing?" the tall and thin man asked coldly.

"I am following the orders of the General's Office. No outside troops are allowed to enter the city without the warrant from the General's Office and the City Guard!" Lin Anguo said with a firm expression.

"If you offend the Imperial Guard, not only you, but even Marquis Jing'an will have a bad ending!" said the tall and thin man.

Lin Anguo's face changed slightly, and his pupils shrank slightly. These words really made him more cautious.

Is the Imperial Guard so powerful?

We don’t know either!

What if they are really so powerful that even the Marquis cannot afford to offend them? If I block them from entering the city, wouldn’t that cause trouble for the Marquis?
Lin Anguo hesitated.

He himself was not afraid of anything because he believed in Yang Zhengshan.

Yang Zhengshan's love for his soldiers like his own sons is not just talk, but a common understanding among all the soldiers in the five battalions of Zhenbiao.

Even if he offended the Imperial Guard, as long as he acted according to orders, he believed that Yang Zhengshan would not abandon him.

So he was not afraid of offending others, but was afraid of causing trouble for Yang Zhengshan.

Just when Lin Anguo was hesitant and the atmosphere between the two sides became tense, the sound of horse hooves was heard again in the city.

The sound of horseshoes clattering on the bluestone road became a continuous sound.

The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately made way, and Yang Zhengshan rode his horse and led his personal guard battalion into the city at a leisurely pace.

"Greetings to the Marquis!"

wow~
The soldiers in the city wall raised their weapons almost at the same time and shouted loudly.

The loud shouts echoed in the city wall like rolling thunder.

Yang Zhengshan nodded slightly, then rode his horse forward.

"Imperial Guard?" He asked, looking at the tall and thin man.

The soldier who was guarding the city gate just now has already reported to the general's mansion, and he rushed over after receiving the report.

Even if others don’t know about the Imperial Guard Division, he naturally knows about it.

After all, he had just sent Wang Zhongzhi and Lu Hua away.

"The eunuch Jiang Cheng, the head of the Imperial Guard Department, greets Marquis Jing'an!"

"We have been ordered to arrest the fugitive, and we hope that Marquis Jing'an will cooperate!"

Facing Yang Zhengshan, the tall and thin man's attitude became much gentler.

"On orders, whose orders?" Yang Zhengshan asked.

"It's the order of Eunuch Nansheng from the Imperial Household Department!" Jiang Cheng said proudly.

“Nan Sheng!”

Yang Zhengshan stared at him, "No order from His Majesty?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said, "Eunuch Nansheng is in charge of the Imperial Guards. The Imperial Guards only need to follow Eunuch Nansheng's orders when handling cases!"

Does this require your Majesty's will?
Of course not!
Even if His Majesty has an order, it will not be passed on to him. He only needs to obey Nan Sheng's orders.

Upon hearing this, Yang Zhengshan burst out laughing.

"The Imperial Guards only need to follow Nan Sheng's orders when handling cases. Is that a problem? But does Chongshan Town need to follow Nan Sheng's orders?"

"Why, do you think Nan Sheng can mobilize 100,000 soldiers from Chongshan Town, or do you think Nan Sheng can command this marquis?"

In the entire Dayong, Yang Zhengshan only needs to obey two orders, one is the emperor's order, and the other is the transfer order from the Ministry of War.

In addition, even the Five Military Commanderies and the Cabinet had no authority to transfer him directly.

If the cabinet wants to mobilize troops, it has to go through the Ministry of War, and the Five Military Commission has no power to mobilize troops at all.

As for Nan Sheng, to put it nicely, he was an eunuch, but to put it bluntly, he was the emperor's servant.

The seventh-rank official is in front of the prime minister’s door, and everyone around the emperor is a master!
Nan Sheng is a nobleman, and no one in the court would look down on him.

But if you say that we should obey his orders, you are overthinking it. Look at the civil and military officials in the court, how many of them would pay attention to him?

After hearing what Yang Zhengshan said, Jiang Cheng's face suddenly turned gloomy.

"Marquis Jing'an, we advise you not to make mistakes!"

Yang Zhengshan rode his horse forward, ignoring his shouting, and looked at the flag officer who was whipped by Jiang Cheng.

He glanced at Lin Anguo and said, "What are you standing there for? Take the man downstairs for treatment!"

Lin Anguo shuddered, responded, and quickly asked the soldiers to help the flag officer return to the barracks in the city.

After the flag officer was helped away, Yang Zhengshan looked at Jiang Cheng again, "Did you hit him?"

"So what if it was our family that beat him?" Jiang Cheng was very tough and confident.

Yang Zhengshan grinned, "Very good!"

The next moment, he suddenly jumped up and swung the spear in his hand down heavily.

Bang!
Jiang Cheng and his horse were knocked to the ground.

With a puff, a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Damn it! You even dare to attack my people. Who gave you the courage?"

As he said that, Yang Zhengshan shot him again.

"Behave yourself, or I'll beat you up too!"

Yang Zhengshan raised his head and looked coldly at the people from the Imperial Guard who were ready to make a move.

His gaze was as sharp as a gun tip, and his aura enveloped everyone's hearts like a cold wind.

Everyone in the Imperial Guard felt a chill in their hearts and dared not breathe.

Yang Zhengshan was still not satisfied, so he used his gun as a stick and hit Jiang Cheng again and again.

The sound of bangs spread.

"What is Dangzhongshan Pass?"

"A eunuch dares to act wildly in Chongshan Pass! Doesn't this marquis have any dignity?"

"Without the order of His Majesty, do you dare to come to Chongshan Pass?"

"Is Nan Sheng's brain full of shit? When can the Imperial Guards go outside the Imperial City to investigate cases?"

"Damn! This castrated dog must die a miserable death!"

Every time Yang Zhengshan hit him with a stick, he would curse him, while every time Jiang Cheng was hit with a stick, he would scream in pain without even a chance to beg for mercy.

The tragic scene made everyone in the Imperial Guard shudder.

But they had no intention of stepping forward to stop it.

Because Yang Zhengshan said something very true.

Without your majesty's order, how dare they, the Imperial Guard, come to Chongshan Pass?

The Imperial Guard is a government office within the Imperial City, primarily responsible for secretly monitoring and guarding the Imperial City.

During the 35 years that Emperor Chengping reigned, the Imperial Guards had never left the imperial city. But now, not only did they leave the imperial city, they also came to Chongshan Town.

The secret guards, who had originally thought that there was no problem, now all felt that something was wrong.

Of course, they just felt something was wrong and they were just following orders. As for the rest, it was not something they should consider.

"Cough cough~~"

At this moment, a cough sounded.

Yang Zhengshan looked up in the direction of the voice and put away the gun in his hand with a little embarrassment.

"Haha, Eunuch Zhang, I didn't scold you!"

The person who was coughing was none other than Zhang Mingzhong, the eunuch guarding Chongshan Town.

Yang Zhengshan kept calling Zhang Mingzhong a eunuch and a castrated dog, and when he cursed him like this in front of Zhang Mingzhong, it seemed like he was making a veiled attack.

Zhang Mingzhong looked at Jiang Cheng, who was breathing heavily on the ground, and said helplessly, "My Lord, that's enough. He made a mistake, and it's up to His Majesty to deal with him!"

Yang Zhengshan glanced at Jiang Cheng, then kicked him away.

"Forget it. For the sake of Eunuch Zhang, I will not bother with this idiot!"

Of course he couldn't kill Jiang Cheng. When beating a dog, one has to look at the owner. This was Emperor Yanping's dog, and as a subject he certainly couldn't beat or kill it at will.

So he was very measured in his attack. Although Jiang Cheng looked extremely miserable at this moment, his injuries were actually not serious. He only suffered some physical pain.

"You guys can get out too!" Yang Zhengshan glanced coldly at the people from the Imperial Guard Division.

Everyone in the Imperial Guard looked at each other, two of them lifted Jiang Cheng up, and without saying a word, they left Chongshan Pass.

Marquis Jing'an is so vicious!
This place is dangerous, it’s better to leave first!
No one is stupid!
Jiang Cheng has Nan Sheng's support, so he feels that he can intimidate Yang Zhengshan, but the other people in the Imperial Guard don't have this confidence, and they dare not act presumptuously in front of Yang Zhengshan.
