Chapter 37 Rectification of the Barracks Plan (Ask for Recommendation Votes and Collections)

Zhu Chunchen only heard Zhu Youzhen say: "Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, is mediocre, greedy for salary, vain care, beheaded according to the law, and exterminated his family." I remember the great achievements of his ancestors, so I can't bear to be heavy.

However, the capital crime can avoid the difficulty of living crimes, and now it will take away the right to hold the Beijing camp, and it will be half of the salary of greed. And strangle at home for three months, no entry and exit!"

Translations:

Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, had mediocre ability, embezzled military salaries, ignored the emperor's grace in vain, beheaded according to the law, and exterminated his family. I remember the great achievements of his ancestors, so I can't bear to be punished heavily.

However, the capital crime can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and now he has taken away the right to take charge of the Beijing camp and handed over half of the greedy military salary. And ordered to stay at home for three months, no entry and exit!

Zhu Chunchen's face was like ashes, as if he had aged more than ten years in an instant.

All of a sudden, he lost his military power, how did he live?

And let him hand over half of the greedy ink, which made him even worse, and he lost a layer of skin if he didn't die.

But Zhu Chunchen didn't dare to refute, because Zhu Youzhen was so clear about the situation in Beijing that he must have investigated.

And he must have the evidence in his hands, if he doesn't know each other, I'm afraid it's not an empty word to rob his family and destroy his family, and no one will be able to save him at that time.

Didn't you see that Zhang Weixian didn't dare to speak until now?

Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Chunchen did not resist, and he also felt that he could not suppress it too hard. So he said: "After all, Chengguo Gong is the pillar of the Ming Dynasty and the pillar of the country."

As long as you can be diligent and loyal in the future, I will still be reused in the future. ”

Although Zhu Chunchen knew that it was a comforting word, he still had hope.

He then cheered up and said, "The old minister is grateful." ”

......

It is worth mentioning that after Zhu Chunchen left, Zhang Weixian also proposed to donate half of his family property for national use, and Zhu Youzhen naturally resigned.

In the end, he pretended to accept it with great hospitality, Zhang Weixian knew in his heart that although His Majesty was killing the "chicken" of Chengguo just now, he was also respecting his own "monkey".

If he is not interested, he will not be much better than Zhu Chunchen next time.

Zhu Youzhen was naturally very happy in the end, and the combination of these two could easily make him three million spirit stones.

Another half a year of military spending has fallen, and these days are really getting better and better!

Next, in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhen summoned Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, and Shichun of Xuancheng Bowei, both of whom committed suicide after Chongzhen hanged themselves.

Xue Lian's ancestral home is Hancheng, Shaanxi, and his ancestors moved to Xuejia Island, and the title of Marquis of Yangwu was won by Xue Lubo, who followed the Yongle Emperor from north to south and made great contributions to Zhu Di's seizure of power.

After Zhu Di ascended the throne, he rewarded a group of loyal ministers and good generals who followed him, Xue Lu because of his outstanding military achievements, he had never been defeated in a lifetime, and he was loyal to Zhu Di, so he was awarded the hereditary Yangwu Marquis, and it has been passed on to Xue Lian for thirteen generations, but the Xue family's loyalty to the royal family has never changed.

Although Wei Shichun's ancestors are also the official bodies of the past dynasties, there has never been a stunning and brilliant character in the family, until the Jingtai period, the ancestor Wei Ying, who was the governor of the Five Military Governors' Mansion Tongzhi, was named a hereditary earl by Yingzong because of his great contribution to the change of seizing the door, and it has been seven generations so far.

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Xue Qing, I have heard rumors in the market, and I have said that Qing is brave and overlooked, and he likes to read military books every day, which is quite the style of the ancestor when he was in trouble;

At present, there are many crises, and the Houjin Demon Clan will arrive in the capital in a few days, and I want to reorganize the Beijing camp now, and after it becomes an army, it will be controlled by the two of you, what advice do you want to know with me?"

Xue and Wei were shocked when they heard this, although they had never been in charge of the army, but because their ancestors were all born in the army, they were inextricably linked with the army, and there were also cronies and other people who held positions in the Beijing camp, so their understanding of the Beijing camp was still relatively detailed.

The Beijing camp has always been in the hands of the British Gong Zhang family and the Cheng Guo Gong Zhu family, and in history, due to the old age and decrepit health of the British Gong Zhang Weixian, he could not see things.

Therefore, the current commander of the 300,000-strong Beijing camp is Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, who relies on the intricate relationship between the Duke of Chengguo and the army for two hundred years.

The generals of the Chengguo Gong family firmly controlled the positions of real power at all levels in the Beijing camp, and the royal Beijing camp had actually become the private team of the Zhu and Zhang families.

Xue and Wei secretly thought, could it be that His Majesty wants to cut the power of those two princes?

The two of them really guessed correctly, Zhu Youzhen really wanted to cut Britain and become the power of the two countries. But how loyal they are, but it's not a good thing that military power is too centralized.

And later facts proved that Cheng Guogong was not a person worthy of trust.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it secretly, and Xue Lian, who was sitting, got up and arched his hand and said loudly: "Shang, the minister's family has risen to the army, although he is not in charge of military affairs today, and he also knows a lot about the army, my emperor is both an adviser and a minister, and the minister speaks to himself, or the people involved in the words, and the emperor and the Ming Dynasty, the minister is also a word!"

Translations:

The emperor, the minister's family started their own army, although they are not in charge of military affairs today, but they also know a lot about the army, since my emperor inquired with the minister, the minister spoke out, maybe the words involved others, but for the sake of the royal family and the Ming Dynasty, the minister also knows everything!

Zhu Youzhen nodded approvingly and said: "I know your loyalty, and I am willing to listen to it today." ”

Xue Lian continued: "Since the beginning of the Taizu camp, to defend the two capitals to come, although the middle has undergone repeated changes, and the capital camp is the end of the minister, so the Beijing camp from the beginning of tens of thousands, so far has reached hundreds of thousands of people, if you know properly, strict discipline, strict discipline, strict training, food and salary, Beijing camp will become the world's feared teacher!"

However, since the end of Wanli, there have been frequent treacherous rulers, upright ministers, and treacherous people, who sent the governor of the central government to the Beijing camp, and the Beijing camp is declining.

The battalion generals are all internal supervisors and private, and they don't know anything about the army, and their generation often abuses the soldiers and deducts their salaries, so that the camp is not angry, and the soldiers are angry.

So far, there are not a single army in Beijing that can fight and dare to fight, and it will be in danger for a long time!"

Translations:

"From the beginning of Taizu to set up a camp, to Gongwei two capitals, although the middle has changed repeatedly, and the size of the Beijing camp has always been for me, so the Beijing camp has expanded from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands now.

If you can know when to be, strict discipline, strict training, and food supply, the Beijing camp will definitely become a feared army in the world!

But since the end of Wanli, there have been treacherous rulers, except for the direct me, people who are too flattering, and sent eunuchs and governors to the affairs of the Beijing camp, and the capital camp is declining.

The battalion generals were all eunuchs in private, and they didn't know anything about the affairs of the army, and those people often abused the soldiers and withheld their salaries, so that the camp was not angry, and the angry emotions of the soldiers piled up in their hearts.

Up to now, there is not a single army in Beijing that can fight and does not dare to fight, and it will be dangerous for a long time!"

Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne and nodded solemnly, and said: "Then according to Qing's words, what is the difference between the honorable and the lieutenant in charge of the Beijing camp now? As far as I know, the current Beijing camp is no different from before!"

Xue Lian sighed, bowed down and said: "What my emperor said is also the truth, forgive the minister, without him, he is not a person!"

Wei Shichun also got up and arched his hand: "The minister and the Marquis of Yangwu see something in the same way, and I hope that my emperor will not think about it, the Marquis of Yangwu is definitely not a person who is greedy for power and wants to replace him!"

What the Marquis of Yangwu and his ministers said is all from the public heart!

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said: "I only invited the two Qing family to come today, I want to listen to the words from the bottom of my heart, not to mention that if I have not understood this, how can I say that I want to reorganize? Although the Qing and the others speak out, I will distinguish between light and dark!"

"The ministers have thanked my emperor for his leniency!"

After the two of them gave a salute and thanked him, Xue Lian continued: "There are four drawbacks in the Beijing camp today; first, most of the soldiers are pulled by the imperial court, nobles, and military ministers to serve in the work, which is not like a martial artist, but no different from a Tianfu!"

"Second, the soldiers who have reached the age should be replaced by their children, but the officials are up and down and ask for heavy bribes, so that the poor old and weak soldiers fill the camp!"

"Third, wealthy soldiers are unwilling to participate in camp training, and bribe generals to include their names in their hometowns.

"Fourth, there are many vacancies in the soldiers, the rewards and punishments of the generals are unknown, the daily deductions are serious, and the soldiers are not satisfied with the day after a long time, once they go into battle, they will be defeated immediately!"

Chongzhen nodded deeply and praised: "What Yang Wuhou said is almost the same as what I have heard! I didn't expect Qing to be a martial artist, and Jing knows all about the disadvantages in the middle of this!

Xue Lian hurriedly said: "The emperor is the reign of Mingjun, how dare the minister talk about it with Mingzhu, but in his spare time, the people in the army who are close to the ministers come to the minister's mansion to chat, and when it comes to this, the ministers know the disadvantages here!"

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to sit down, and said, "Then Xue Qing knows that there are still generals in the army who want to make a difference?"

Xue Lian said: "I know with my emperor, although the Beijing camp has been sinking for a long time, but there are still loyal and brave people, under the suppression of mediocre people, although depressed, but there is still a hard thought in my heart, only sigh that there is no way to serve the country!"

Wei Shichun also said: "The ancestors of the ministers are also from the army, and there are also a few acquaintances in the army.

I only hate that I don't have a platform to show my ambitions, and I have the title of earl, and I can't do anything about it, and when there is no one in the middle of the night, I also toss and turn, sighing!"

Zhu Youzhen's expression was solemn, staring at the two of them: "I want to hand over half of the Beijing camp to the two of you, I want to see that in the near future, a well-disciplined army that can fight and dare to fight, and will never retreat when encountering the enemy!

Xue Lian and Wei Shichun were in the prime of life, and they were unwilling to waste their lives in their hearts, and when they heard the emperor's words, the two of them suddenly felt their blood boiling, knelt on the ground, and raised their bodies after touching the ground with their heads.

Xue Lian said in a solemn tone, and said calmly: "The minister and Xuancheng Bo have a good relationship, and when they talk on weekdays, they are also worried about the current crisis, and they only hate that there is no way to serve the country!"

The ministers have been favored by the emperor for more than 200 years, and when the country employs people, the ministers are willing to put their hearts and souls on it, for my emperor, I will pour all their blood to repay the grace of my dynasty for raising me!"
