In the capital, the Jinyiwei personally joined the Fusiyamen in the north. The gate was empty, the gate was deserted, and the door plaque was covered with dust, which looked like a dilapidated scene.

Zhang Shuheng, wearing a red Brilliant Guard uniform, a wingless black gauze hat, and an embroidered spring knife, stood at the gate and watched for a long time in confusion. Today was his first day to take office. Unexpectedly, the Jinyiwei, who was once intimidating, but he stopped crying at night, has now become like this.

"Brother, are we going in?" asked a Jinyiwei lieutenant standing behind him. This Jinyiwei lieutenant was actually Wang Fuchen. After Jiang Xiang, the general of Datong, attacked the thief, Wang Fuchen was taken away by Zhang Shuheng, and then he pseudonym Wang Liangchen, and bought the identity of Jinyiwei lieutenant.

Zhang Shuheng’s current identity is the identity of the General Banner of the Jinyiwei. This identity was bought from Wu Mengming for 5,000 taels of silver. With this identity, it is much easier to do business in the capital. With this identity, Zhang Shuheng helped a group of brothers buy the identity of the Jinyiwei’s captain, and then with his own authority, he brought a group of brothers to the Jinyiwei to act as strong men. In fact, he was a temporary worker.

The Jinyiwei can sell the general flag, small flag, and school lieutenant, and can also stuff it into its own people at will. This shows how deserted the Jinyiwei at this time. At the most, the Jinyiwei, which once had 60,000 people, is now only more than 30,000 people registered. In addition to the spies scattered across the country to spy on news and the 20,000 (actually not so many people) from the Jinyiwei yamen in other places, there should be about 10,000 people in the capital, but in fact, it is not known whether there are 3,000 people.

"Get in!" Zhang Shuheng nodded. Then he walked into the gate and there was no one to come up to ask questions. He took Wang Fuchen directly into the central hall, and only then did an Jinyiwei wearing a ragged lieutenant's clothes come up and ask: "Brother, who are you? Why have I never seen you before?"

Zhang Shuheng showed his waist card: "The new general flag, where do I do it?"

The man took the waist card and looked at it, pointed to the empty courtyard, and replied weakly: "This sir, just find a place to sit, and you have nothing to do anyway."

Looking in the direction of the man's finger, I saw a group of Jinyiwei's lieutenant sitting or standing lazily, and a few people were sitting on the ground with their heads together, probably gambling.

Zhang Shuheng secretly sneered in his heart: The country is in danger, and the bandits are approaching the capital, and the Jinyiwei is like this.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Jinyiwei was already incompetent since Luo Sigong served as the commander of the Jinyiwei. Later, Emperor Tianqi came to power and appointed Tian Ergeng to replace Luo Sigong. At the age of nine thousand years, Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun made trouble and revive the Jinyiwei. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After Emperor Tianqi fell into the water, Luo Yangxing, the son of the incompetent Jinyiwei commander Luo Sigong, came up. Compared with his father, Luo Yangxing was even more mediocre and incompetent, and the Jinyiwei became like this.

However, the civil servant group likes the commander of the Jinyiwei like Luo Yangxing. The more incompetent the Jinyiwei, the happier the gentry group of the Ming Dynasty will be.

Because Luo Yangxing and the civil servant group were in conjunction with each other, too much corruption was discovered. Emperor Chongzhen had to deprive him of the commander of the Jinyiwei and replaced him with Wu Mengming. However, Wu Mengming had no ability. Some important figures in the Jinyiwei were Luo Yangxing. After Wu Mengming became the commander of the Jinyiwei, he could at most blackmail some officials to make some extra money for himself. In addition, Emperor Chongzhen had an imperial edict and wanted to take someone to the Zhao prison, so he sent Tiqi to arrest people. Apart from that, he achieved nothing.

In real history, when Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, why did the Jinyiwei beside him disappear? It was because under the leadership of Luo Yangxing, he had already surrendered to the thief army.

Zhang Shuheng walked into the middle of the courtyard and bowed to the Jinyiwei Guards: "Brothers, Zhang Mougang received the news that the thief has broken Datong and will arrive in the capital soon! I hope that all brothers will share the same hatred of the enemy, defend the capital together, and protect our country and country in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Hmph, dogs meddlers with rats!" An officer with a hundred-family appearance sneered.

"Governor, the Dushi hasn't been here for several days. Who still has the time to care about these things now?" said a lieutenant.

"This new brother is really a loyal and kind person in the Ming Dynasty! He can still spy on the enemy's situation at this time. It seems that the new brother is from Wu (Meng Ming) Dusi?"

"Wu Dusi? Humph!" a small flag sneered, "I heard that Wu Dusi can't jump around for a few days, and the governor Luo (Yangshi) is coming back soon."

Zhang Shuheng yelled in anger: "The thief army is about to come to the city. You don't think about how to defend the capital and serve the country loyally, but you do nothing here! If the thief army breaks the capital, brothers, think about it, what good end can you have?"

"Let's go to defend the city? Our military pay has been in arrears for several months. It's better to be killed by thieves than to starve to death." A small flag stood up and yelled.

"The end?" A hundred households stood up, "You are just a small general flag promoted by Wu Dusi. Don't pretend to be a boss in front of me! So what if the thief army is at the city? Can they break through the strong city of the capital? Even if the thief army breaks through the city, they will not make things difficult for us soldiers."

"The plague in the capital is rampant. Brothers, please think of a solution quickly. Otherwise, even if you don't die at the hands of the thief, you will inevitably die in the plague." Zhang Shuheng said anxiously. He felt that this job he came to the capital under the order of his lord was really difficult to handle. The plague in the capital was causing death every day, and Li Zicheng was about to come to the capital again, which was a bit troublesome.

Although Zhang Shuheng received the order from Li Guodong, if Li Guodong's army could not arrive in time, their personal guards could make a decision on their own and find a way to rescue Chongzhen and his family from the capital. However, judging from the current situation, even if Chongzhen was saved, it would not be easy to leave the capital.

Anyway, there was nothing to do in the Jinyiwei Yamen. After Zhang Shuheng walked around, he took Wang Fuchen away from the Jinyiwei Yamen.

When Zhang Shuheng came to a yard he rented in the capital, a Jinyiwei lieutenant came forward to report: "Sir, General Zhou is awake, nothing serious."

This Jinyiwei is actually the same as Zhang Shuheng. His secret identity is Li Guodong's personal guard agent. General Zhou Yuji was Zhou Yuji. When Ningwu Pass was broken, Zhang Shuheng rescued Zhou Yuji's family with his brothers, and for this reason he also damaged several brothers. Zhou Yuji, who was unconscious, was carried all the way to the capital by the personal guard agent. When they were about to arrive in the capital, they brought Zhou Yuji into the city with the identity of Jinyiwei.

Zhang Shuheng nodded and walked into the inner room.

Zhou Yuji was lying on the sickbed, and his wife Liu sat on the side with red eyes. Seeing Zhang Shuheng walking in, Liu quickly stood up: "The young lady has met the superior."

After saying that, Liu retreated.

Zhou Yuji heard the voice and opened his eyes. He saw Zhang Shuheng wearing Jinyiwei clothes. He struggled to get out of bed to salute, but was stopped by Zhang Shuheng: "General Zhou is injured, so there is no need to be too polite!"

"It was Your Majesty who asked you to save the Undying General?" Zhou Yuji saw Zhang Shuheng dressed in a Jinyiwei. When he woke up just now, he saw a group of Jinyiwei standing outside. He heard his wife Liu say that it was this group of people who saved his family and sacrificed several brothers. He thought that Emperor Chongzhen sent Jinyiwei to save him.

Zhang Shuheng shook his head: "The general is outside, and the king will not accept the order. The subordinate officials were only sent by the court to spy on the enemy's situation in other places. They happened to encounter the thief army attacking Ningwu Pass. We couldn't bear to see the court's Zhongliang die at the hands of the thief, so we took the initiative to save General Zhou next time."

Zhou Yuji bowed to the direction of the imperial city: "Everyone is a personal army in Jinyi. Brothers have saved Zhou, and it is Your Majesty who saved Zhou. Zhou thanks Your Majesty for helping you!"
