Maomaoshan is the closest to Yundu.

The three salt factories have all built direct cement roads leading to the imperial city, and there are military stations every fifty miles along the way, where horses can be replaced and soldiers can bring sufficient white sugar cubes here for energy replenishment. Keep on your way.

Received the Tiger Talisman military order from the eldest princess.

"The regent may be harmed by traitors and traitors. From now on, we are all the eldest princess's direct soldiers!"

The leader of the Maomaoshan Salt Factory, Wang Che, the fifth-ranked captain, announced the news with great solemnity, and showed the letter to the 10,000 soldiers in public, "Many of you are illiterate. But it doesn’t matter, you all recognize the military seal of Zhenbei Tiger Talisman.”

There was an uproar below.

Hearing words such as "traitor" and "encountered an accident", everyone was filled with grief and anger, shouting that they wanted to avenge the governor!

They put down their salt-making tools one after another, picked up swords, guns and sticks, and prepared to fight back.

"Put down all your weapons!"

Captain Wang Che shouted sternly, "The eldest princess has a military order. No one is allowed to carry weapons or armor. All civilians, refugees, and small businessmen in Qiaozhuang should lurk back to Yundu as quickly as possible!"

All the soldiers were stunned.

Didn't you go to Yundu to protect the eldest princess and the regent's family?

Aren't you going back to take revenge?

How can it be done without weapons and equipment? The combat capability will be greatly reduced.

When facing the soldiers' questioning, Captain Wang Che's face suddenly became enigmatic and he said in a deep voice: "Your Highness said that there is an arsenal on the outskirts of Yundu City and there is also an arsenal in the palace."

Below, there was the sound of air-conditioning coming and going.

"The arsenal was originally controlled by the regent, but after the defeat, the control of the arsenal no longer belongs to the Yan family."

"The palace arsenal? Oh my God! Isn't that a place where only the Jinwu Guards can receive weapons?"

"Your Highness the Princess, don't you want to occupy the palace arsenal?!"

This feeling... why is it a bit like a rebellion? First, let their army of ten thousand people sneak back to Yundu Imperial City pretending to be common people as quickly as possible, and then occupy the arsenal and distribute weapons to them?

The ten thousand Zhenbei elites had vague guesses in their hearts.

but.

No one flinches!

What are you afraid of?

They were all poor people who couldn't afford to eat. Some were low-class slaves, some were homeless people who had lost their land, and some were ordinary people who were exploited and oppressed. They came to serve as soldiers in order to earn a living and to get rewards for beheading their enemies. If you are lucky enough to make meritorious deeds, you can also be awarded a noble title based on military merit.

Now, they work in the most profitable salt factory in Yunhuang, earning 10 taels of wages a month. In the past, military pay was less than ten taels a year.

Since the eldest princess has given them such high treatment and given them military land, they have to follow the boss even if they die! 1

The letter was sent in the evening.

The first armed force arrived in Yundu smoothly.

Ten thousand people were divided into five teams and came from the five city gates. They wore coarse linen clothes and carried bags of refined salt that could be turned into silver and grain, and sneaked in quietly.

They didn't all come together.

Instead, every half an hour, a small group of dozens or hundreds of people entered the city in twos and threes.

Wu'an Gongfu.

Mu Tingxue had dinner with her two cute babies and her mother-in-law.

Fruits, vegetables, and refined meat dishes, all served on land and water, are certainly very abundant.

Mrs. Mingguo was a bit confused. She frequently looked at the soldiers patrolling in the yard and asked: "Qingyuan, why did you suddenly transfer hundreds of nursing homes? There are too many. Wu'an Palace does not need to do this." many."

"That's not enough for me."

Mu Tingxue's brows never relaxed, "It's been snowing heavily in Yundu recently, it's freezing cold, and the roads are slippery. Mother-in-law, please don't go to the Da Zi Zai Buddhist Temple to burn incense for the time being. If there's anything missing in the house, just give me your instructions. My daughter-in-law will bring it here for you."

Cui Ming became more and more confused. Not only did he send more people to guard Wu'an Palace, but he also told himself not to go out. What was the reason for this?

"Yundu, is something big going to happen?"

"That little thing that the two parties are fighting about. Mother-in-law, don't worry. You should eat and drink as you should, and play with the grandchildren every day. The other daughters-in-law will take care of it."

Mu Tingxue tried her best to sound relaxed.

But only she knows how serious the current situation is! The Yan family building is about to collapse, and if you make one wrong move, the family will be in a desperate situation!

There is a high probability that the husband will be killed.

As a wife, she cannot be weak, she cannot break down and cry, she cannot just vent her sadness. She has to support the family, she has to protect her mother, son, sisters, brothers and sisters, uncles and uncles, and some important backbones of the Yan Party. officials.

The regent is the pillar of Yan Party. If this pillar falls, Yan Dang's sky will collapse. The queen mother's influence in the court will also be greatly reduced.

Immediately afterwards, the Li Party will carry out a general liquidation and slaughter the senior officials of the Yan Party one by one. Although they could not touch the most orthodox eldest princess of the Xie family, they would kill Yan Yang's son in order to eradicate the problem.

In this process, the queen mother will be completely reduced to a queen mother who has lost her power, and will no longer be able to review memorials and participate in political affairs. The emperor Xie Xuanchen took charge of the government personally!

How to break the game?

The most important thing is that she must now have an army in Yundu that can be mobilized directly!

Otherwise, the entire imperial city would be ruled by the Central Forbidden Army controlled by Li Dang!

To produce political power from the barrel of a gun, we must master the core barrel of the gun.

Only the army is her counterforce in the face of emergencies!

Therefore, as soon as she received the news about Yan Yang's accident, she immediately wrote five urgent letters eight hundred miles away, urgently summoning all the military forces that could be mobilized, and asked them to find a way to join forces with Yun Yang as quickly as possible. All!

Maomaoshan and Baidizhou are the closest to Yundu, and these two military forces can arrive within two days.

Fengming Valley and Tianchiling are further away and will take at least five days.

The navy in Gwangju in the southeast is even further away. It's thankful to be able to arrive in ten days.

Mu Tingxue was quickly calculating the date in her mind. Zebao bit into the cooked beef and said coquettishly, "Mother, I want to go to the Xiao Mansion to play with Jin Yu."

Actually, I wanted to copy Xiao Jinyu’s homework.

But he didn't dare to speak directly for fear that his mother would spank him.

"It's very windy and snowy outside, so don't go."

"But--"

"When the snow stops in two days, mother will take you there again, okay?"

"Ugh, okay."

Mu Tingxue gently rubbed Zebao's little head.

A personal guard came in, bowed behind her and whispered a few words.

When Mu Tingxue heard that Maomaoshan's troops had arrived, her eyes lit up and she stood up to say goodbye to her mother-in-law.

"It's dark, the roads are slippery, and it's snowing hard. Qingyuan, do you have to go out tonight?" Mrs. Mingguo was a little worried.

"Well, there is something urgent waiting for me to deal with at the arsenal."

Ya Bao held the fire rat fur plush cloak very considerately, ran over and handed it to his mother.

Mu Tingxue looked at the child tenderly and tried to suppress the sore nose.
