She Song

Chapter 290 The coup in Beijing
The West Route Army's incident of robbing and killing prisoners was a blatant disregard for the laws of the Jin Kingdom and was tantamount to rebellion, which immediately triggered severe condemnation from the powerful Jin Dynasty.

Xie Ye and Ao Ben were immediately distressed, and had no choice but to summon Wu Shu again three days later.

Wu Shu was not afraid and went straight to the political hall. He wanted to see who was making trouble?

Faced with questioning by the conservative forces headed by Ta Lan, Wu Shu said frankly: "When the Jurchens are alive or dead, soldiers and horses are the foundation of the country. Is this the only way to frighten Xiao Xiao?"

Ta Lan was so angry that he stood up angrily and asked: "Now that the sword is in your hand, we who have no soldiers, can't we just kill them if we want to?"

Orben immediately spoke out to persuade him to make peace: "We can't stop here! Just because Lou Shi's unjust death caused an undercurrent in the Western Route Army, Wu Shu must have had no choice but to do this."

Yinli Duo also calmed down the atmosphere and said to Wu Shu: "Although I obey the authority in an urgent matter, I should also be informed that I will not act like this in the future."

Wu Shu looked around at the crowd and said coldly: "Soldiers are a major event for the country, the place of life and death, and the path to survival. All gentlemen should also be careful!"

Faced with Wu Shu's warning, everyone understood that the calculation was just to divide the military power of the Western Route Army. This was simply a confusing account, and everyone was speechless for a moment.

However, Ta Laan was unwilling to give in. He once again raised the issue of Wu Shu arbitrarily cleaning up the West Route Army from top to bottom, accusing him of destroying the Meng'an Mooke system, which must be corrected, and even proposed rectification of the entire military supervision system.

Although it seems that the entire army has been reorganized, the Eastern Route Army and the garrison are fragmented and fragmented. Only the Western Route Army has formed its own system. This is clearly to put a curse on Wushu's head, so as to weaken the military power. .

This caused a heated discussion among the people, and many people took the opportunity to offer their opinions and suggestions, proposing various measures in the name of dealing with the threat of the Zhenguo Army. In fact, they were the same as Talan.

He was silent but determined, and he was extremely contemptuous of the high-level dignitaries who only knew how to talk. When he finally expressed his stance, he just smiled mysteriously and said: "You can do as you please!"

Ta Lan was refreshed, thinking that Wu Shu could not withstand the pressure, so he urged Xie Ye and O Ben, who were in power, to send out supervisors while the iron was hot. The two of them arranged more than ten supervisors in order to be prepared.

However, after the supervisory troops were stationed in the West Route Army, not only were they unable to carry out their supervisory duties, but they were required to coordinate the logistics supplies of the military workshop and give priority to meeting the requirements of the West Route Army.

The representative of the supervisory army, the Emperor of Jin, was not willing to listen to a young boy. He insisted on restoring the Meng'an Mouke system first, and they had no control over the distribution of supplies.

The two sides were arguing, Wu Shu showed his ferocious teeth, and killed three of the most deviant military supervisors on the spot in the name of making unprovoked noise in the army.

"It's better for you to rest in peace!" Wu Shu smiled and put the remaining supervisors under house arrest, then sent troops to take over the military workshop and logistics department, sweeping away all the new equipment.

Through this series of tricks, Wu Shu promoted a group of young men who followed him loyally, and initially took control of the 8-strong West Route Army.

However, the imprisonment and killing of the supervisors and the looting of military industry logistics not only frightened the powerful people in Beijing, but also completely angered Ta Lan. At the same time, he was deeply aware of the crisis.

Wu Shu's return this time is very different from before. He is both ruthless and unscrupulous. He is targeting the conservatives. If he continues like this, he will be finished sooner or later.

So, at the end of October, Talan and the Jurchen Young Zhuang Faction gathered thousands of armed forces to suddenly launch a coup.

Ta Lan's original plan was to detain all the dignitaries in Beijing, Miyagi, and senior officials of the West Route Army and the garrison, but Wu Shu had detected it early and Jin Chan escaped from his shell, leaving Ta Lan in vain.

Although the main target escaped, Talan was already riding a tiger and turned to deal with the powerful, including Xie Ye and Aoben who were in the political hall.When more than a dozen officials and generals close to Wushu were beheaded, the dignitaries succumbed to the bloody butcher's knife and declared the West Route Army to be rebels. The leader of the rebels was Wushu, and therefore appointed Talan as the Jin Army. The general manager granted him the authority to mobilize the palace guards, garrison troops and East Route Army who went to Beijing.

Although the power is in his hands, he is not stupid. The garrison of [-] to [-] palace guards can't resist the West Route Army, not to mention that Wushu has already broken out of the cocoon and become a butterfly, so he ordered the defenders to consolidate the defense of the capital, and at the same time mobilized from all over the country. King of the garrison.

Wu Shu had known about Ta Lan's plan for a long time, and the reason why he didn't expose it beforehand was to seize the highest power of the Jin Kingdom. Now that there were killings in Shangjing City, it was the best time to take action.

After giving the order, the West Route Army surrounded Shangjing in just half a day. Wu Shu fired a revolt into the city, exposing Ta Lan's conspiracy, and claimed that he was trying to bring order to the chaos, and ordered Ta Lan to surrender before dusk, otherwise he would be severely punished!
Although this proclamation was of no help, Wushu took over morality, and the war-weariness in Shangjing City was quite serious. Many defenders sneaked down the city wall and defected to Wushu.

As dusk came, Wu Shu decisively attacked the city, firing thirty artillery pieces at the same time, but the cannon at the top of the city did not fire back, allowing the commander of the West Route Army to drive straight in.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ta Lan immediately coerced the paralyzed Wu Qimai and used his hardcore party members and palace guards to guard the palace city.

When Ta Lan threatened Wu Shu by taking Emperor Wu Qimai as a hostage, Wu Shu directly waved his hand to attack.

Threatening me with a half-dead paralyzed man?Has this guy lost his mind?
The West Route Army was so powerful that it directly broke through the sparse defense of the palace guards and broke into the palace to kill the young and strong faction involved in the coup. At midnight, in a secret room, the searching soldiers found the desperate Ta Lai wiping his neck. Moreover, Wu Qimai’s head is missing.

The palace coup was put down within one day, but Wu Qimai's death inevitably raised the issue of succession to the throne. Now that Wu Shu had taken control of Shangjing and became the actual ruler, everyone thought that he would naturally ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

However, Wushu and Xie Yeoben openly stated that they had no intention of becoming emperor. The three of them jointly promoted Aguda's eldest grandson Wanyandan to succeed to the throne, and Wushu continued to serve as the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army.

After dealing with the remnant forces of Talan, the situation in Beijing became clear. In terms of government affairs, Xie Ye and Auben assisted Wanyan Dan. In terms of military affairs, Wu Shu was in charge, and it was planned to move the capital to Huanglong Mansion within a year.

After the violent turmoil in the power struggle at the top of the Jin Kingdom subsided, Beijing began to resume operations. However, Emperor Wu Qimai died in a daze during the coup, which became the biggest mystery of the Jin Kingdom.

Despite the disturbances from the outside world, Wu Shu was focused on reorganizing the army and strengthening the intelligence system to continuously penetrate into Yanjing and Tokyo.

On the other hand, Korean companies that suffered setbacks in Yanjing returned without success.

Han Xiaoyao rejected the peace agreement and the redemption of prisoners of war: "Since the Jurchens provoked the war, we have the final say when to cease the war!"

Using the money absorbed from the sea trade and Hanji financial systems, Han Xiaoyao further expanded his armaments and planned to recruit 20 new troops in Hebei, bringing the total number of Zhenguo troops to [-].

The worried Han Qixian bluntly stated that Yanjing's appetite and ambitions were getting bigger and bigger, and Tokyo, Xingqingfu, and Kaijing were trembling. Once the Zhenguo Army expanded, it would inevitably launch an attack on Beijing.

This judgment was almost exactly what Wu Shu expected, which made Xie Yeoben very depressed.

But Wu Shu remained at peace. In addition to recruiting and training troops, he also consciously transferred troops and military industry to Huanglong Mansion.

At the beginning of December, in the snowy and icy sky of the northern country, thirty thousand elite Jurchens were like tigers coming out of their cages, once again proving their strength to the world with iron and blood.
