Chapter 179: Recruitment
The end of Ji Gang finally came, and he was impeached in the middle of the matter and the Imperial Historian, and a day later he was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to be punished, and soon his charges were reported.
Because it was a public announcement, Gao Chi and Zhang Zhaohua both saw it, and when they saw the biggest crime - fabricating charges to destroy dozens of remnants of the Jianwen Dynasty, and tens of thousands of relatives were killed, Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but say angrily: "A group of fools!"
Without Chen Ying, the Metropolitan Procuratorate not only began to become corrupt, but even its political consciousness was decreasing. The biggest crime they submitted against Ji Gang could not touch Ji Gang at all, and it was Ji Gang who fabricated the charges and went to prison back then, but it was the emperor who finally convicted them. It was the emperor who wanted to purge Jianwen's loyal ministers.
And other major cases that have nothing to do with Jianwen's relics, although they are not the emperor's instructions, but all of them are Ji Gang's use of the emperor's mind - although Emperor Yongle is eloquent, such emperors are also self-righteous and love face, and he is confident that he will not be deceived by anyone. Now you have to tell him that Ji Gang borrowed his hand to eliminate dissidents, and his mind was clearly grasped by his subordinates, will the emperor admit such a mistake?
It would be good not to be annoyed and ashamed to kill this person on the spot, the emperor just sent this official document back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In the end, there are still capable people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and new charges have appeared on the prison words reviewed by the three legal divisions submitted for the second time. First, Ji Gang embezzled more than 4 million yuan of official salt, defrauded Jiaozhi treasures, and seized tens of thousands of hectares of private land. Second, Ji Gang transgressed, wore a royal robe and a crown, sat high and set up wine, ordered Youtong to play music and serve him, and shouted long live.
Third, Ji Gang communicated with the leaders of the pirates, recruited 500 pirates, and trained private armed forces. even saved his life, made swords, armor, bows and crossbows, and secretly conspired with the king of the valley to plot misdeeds.
There are two specific charges - "committing misdeeds" and "complication".
Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, was forbidden to seize the title by the high wall circle not long ago, and now when the emperor thinks about it, he says, "How can this guy think of rebelling? It turns out that there are people in the court, and there is foreign aid!
After the song was sent up, the list of crimes was issued to the world, and Ji Gang was found to be in the right place, escorted to the execution ground, and executed Ling Chi. His party members also got the results they deserved, either punished or condemned.
Ji Gang is a very powerful arm of Gao Xu, and now that this arm has finally been removed, the storage position of the East Palace is finally stable - but Zhang Zhaohua will never be satisfied with just keeping the storage position of the East Palace, she hopes to personally knock Gao Xu off the horse and return all the pain he inflicted on herself.
Zhang Zhaohua knew that the Han King had an army called the Black Armor Army, but she only knew about the existence of this army, but she did not know its specific number and combat effectiveness. However, she checked the register of the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and found that this army was not registered, which means that it is likely to be his personal army, and even independent of Tiancewei.
"All the palace guards in the world, even the three guards of the vassal king, are subordinate to the military department," Zhang Zhaohua secretly mused: "Only Gao Xu's black-armored army is not registered, and the vassal king has always had this private soldier, which is equivalent to a rebellion ......."
She thought about it, and it seemed that she was about to get a ray of light.
"Niangniang," Han Dong said, "Doctor Sheng is here." ”
Zhang Zhaohua suddenly turned over and got up: "Tell him to go back, keep the prescription, and I will use it again when I say in the future!"
When the grandson came, Zhang Zhaohua said: "Is your imperial grandfather going to Fangshan to hunt this spring and hold a military exercise at the same time?"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Yes, several bachelors persuaded them, saying that they would wait until the autumn to go, but the imperial grandfather said that the noble descendants of the Ming Dynasty will not be pulled out to practice, and they will not be used, and they will go to Fangshan twice a year to practice martial arts in the future." ”
"In the past, Fangshan military exercises," Zhang Zhaohua said: "It's all your Uncle Han Wang who is in the limelight, this year you are different from the past, you are in the dynasty to participate in politics, do you want to let Han Wang be beautiful?"
Zhu Zhanji clenched his fists, and his expression was naturally unhappy: "But the imperial grandfather asked the king of Han to lead the army, and every time he let him play Mahamu and Arutai, and the imperial grandfather commanded the army to fight...... I don't want to say that I led an army alone, but I can't even get out of the Chinese army camp of the emperor's grandfather. ”
The military exercise is a real battlefield on the simulated grassland, usually led by the emperor and the king of Han respectively, the king of Han will lead the most elite cavalry, left and right raids, and the emperor will command 200,000 troops to resist the enemy, and the strategy of the king of Han is very clever, he will try his best to consume the advantages of the three battalions, and even fight a few very beautiful ambushes, defeat some battle-hardened generals, and then defeat in the hands of the emperor, so not only show their ability, but also raise the prestige of the emperor, so the military exercises are the home of the king of Han.
The reason why Zhu Zhanji repeatedly wanted to follow the emperor to the battlefield was also because he saw the majesty of the King of Han in the martial arts arena, but the emperor not only did not allow him to go to Mahamu, but even during military exercises, he was not allowed to leave his Chinese army camp.
"Didn't you always want your own army," Zhang Zhaohua said, "How about letting you get what you want this time?"
Zhu Zhanji was surprised: "Mother, can you say that the emperor's grandfather?"
"You have to fight for it yourself," Zhang Zhaohua said: "You tell your imperial grandfather this, you said that you know that you are shallow in learning, and you have no experience in battle, so it is impossible to lead troops in one day, but please give the imperial grandfather a chance to exercise...... If you can train an army that you can see in less than two months, and this army can pass a few moves under the hands of King Han, you will have your own right to speak in the martial arts arena or on the battlefield from now on. ”
Zhu Zhanji sighed and said, "Mother, where do I train my own army?" ”
"There are 220 Wuju people enrolled in the military department," Zhang Zhaohua wrote lightly, "It was selected by Shilang Shikui from more than 3,000 candidates from all over the country when he was in the sixth year of Yongle. But these people, after being elected, have no landing. ”
These poor martial artists were regarded as a threat by the gate, and they were also temporarily put aside by the emperor and no longer asked. They can only rely on the capital, pile up here in the Wuxuan Division, and try all kinds of ways to get a place to enter the Jingwei.
"You recruit these people yourself and use them for your own use," Zhang Zhaohua said, "Train them out and fight the Han King head-on." ”
"I am the reincarnation of Sun Wu," Zhu Zhanji's eyes lit up, but soon dimmed: "In such a short time, I can't resist the elite of the Han King, won't I become a laughing stock when the time comes?"
"Fool," Zhang Zhaohua scolded: "Your imperial grandfather lifted you up just to suppress the King of Han." When the time comes, it will be impossible for the King of Han to use Heaven to defend him, so how can the emperor let the elite of the King of Han deal with you, an army that has only been trained for two months? Wouldn't it be like destroying a chicken and a dog to use a regular army to fight against you, an army that has no establishment?"
Zhu Zhanji was completely confused: "What will happen then?"
"He will let the King of Han use his own private soldiers to compete with your army," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Let me tell you, the King of Han's private soldiers may be more terrible than the regular army, and you will definitely not be able to defeat him." ”
"Then what am I training this army for?" Zhu Zhanji said angrily: "Is it just to let the King of Han beat me shamelessly and laugh at the world?"
"How can I raise such a foolish thing as you!" Zhang Zhaohua couldn't help but slap him on the back of the head a few times: "I naturally have a way to make you lose the ground so that you won't be a mess, and you, a novice, only need to put out the military appearance and military prestige of these two hundred martial artists, proving that you still have two brushes in leading the troops, this is expected, your imperial grandfather will look at you differently." You can't think that you can defeat the King of Han the first time, but the King of Han's personal soldiers will be exposed to everyone...... If the combat effectiveness of the private army is stronger than that of the regular army, it will be a blessing or a curse for the king of Han. ”
Zhu Zhanji seemed to have a hint of enlightenment: "So the foothold, in fact, is here?"
"More than that," Zhang Zhaohua said: "If you can come out this time, you can ask the emperor to give you a regular army, if the emperor is still hesitant, you can ask him, let him select from all over the country about seventeen to twenty years old, brave and strong folk children to send to Beijing, as your entourage, this autumn hunt, you can lead this army to participate in military exercises, and in the future, you can even take this army to follow the Northern Expedition." ”
