The emperor has a wife!

This news spread throughout the city of Beijing in an instant, and it was sung everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the three aunts and six wives, the young scholars, and the street coolies were all surprised. When it was passed on later, it became that as long as he joined the army, the emperor would give a wife. Therefore, when the sign of the Yulin Army recruiting troops was erected again, the whole city was in a sensation, and the young people surrounded it like crazy.

For the people at the bottom, there is almost no chance of getting ahead without studying, either farming for the rest of their lives, selling themselves into slavery, or going to be apprentices. This recruitment is the third time for the Yulin Army, and its name has become a household name with various rumors about the Red Pill Coup, and the same Tianzi Guards as Jinyiwei, this is the most intuitive concept of the common people.

Therefore, when recruiting soldiers, as long as almost all the young people who have some ideas go over to try it, and when they have the opportunity, they all think about Zhang Ya, Xie Gao, Li Tu, Xu Wen, these tenant farmers and butchers and other miscellaneous descendants, and have a background, of course, how much of this is because of the marriage of the palace maid, it is unknown.

In short, the recruitment office of the Yulin Army, which was recruited again, was extremely hot, and the queue was like a long queue, lined up several times. The total amount of this conscription was 20,000, and if you count the previous one, it was 30,000. More than half of them are from the capital, and the more than 20,000 places have almost wiped out the young people with good qualifications in Beijing, which is also the first time that Zhu Youchu has recruited soldiers in the capital.

It is worth mentioning that there were also many children of the guards in this conscription, as well as some young people who obviously looked like they were from big families, and they lined up alone to join the army at the conscription office. In the face of Zhu Youxiao's toughness, some people choose to confront, and some people choose to cling.

Compared with the enthusiasm and excitement of the people, the officialdom of the entire Beijing division is full of indescribable heaviness, the emperors in the past were in accordance with the law, and they ascended the throne logically, but now there is a sudden appearance of Zhu Youxiao, through a mutiny, almost no one ascended the throne in the rolling heads, corpses and mountains of blood.

The bloody atmosphere that still lingers and Zhu Youxiao's tough style have brought a strange atmosphere to the officialdom of Daming, who is lifeless and only knows how to pay attention to party disputes, and makes them almost unable to adapt to it.

The impact of the Red Pill coup is still continuing, although the emperor intends to accept it because of Fang Congzhe's persuasion, but some people who have evil intentions and have a deep connection with the Donglin Party are still uneasy, and although the resignation documents are not like snowflakes, they are also piled up into a small mountain.

For such a person, Zhu Youxiao has always been accurate, and now the Ming Dynasty is difficult to find someone who is proficient in Gewu and miscellaneous science, but those who want to be officials do grab a lot of them, not to mention those Jinshi who are waiting to make up for the officials, just the people of the Hanlin Academy are lined up. In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, there happened to be a group of Jinshi who were watching politics, and now they are almost reaching their age.

It is because Zhu Youxiao is not worried that people will leave, and no one will do anything in the imperial court, and he will be allowed to leave if he wants to go, without hesitation. As for the people who stay, they are completely different from the people who left, and they can even be said to be completely different, their diligent attitude and conscientious performance can be called model workers.

These are relatively young and thoughtful people, and they smell a different atmosphere from Zhu Youxiao's series of big moves and different styles of acting. Great turmoil means great opportunities, the cabinet position is still vacant, the old man is still young, and he can serve the emperor for more years.

All sorts of similar thoughts swirl in their minds, driving them to be diligent and active. As for their thoughts and intentions, through the beginning of the Dongchang intelligence organization, which was already on the right track and was operating, Zhu Youxiao saw it clearly.

Just when the hundred officials in the capital were apprehensive and didn't know what the big changes brought back by Fang Congzhe were, a decree suddenly came out of the Qianqing Palace and appeared in front of everyone. This decree has not gone through the cabinet, it can only be said to be a central decree, not a formal decree, and civil officials can refute or even refuse to carry it out.

However, when the decree of the Tao was directed at the military attaché, in the face of the emperor's decree, no military general dared to hesitate at all, but immediately began to follow it.

This holy decree did not use flowery rhetoric, the words were very straightforward and clear, but Liu Ruoyu was slightly polished, from spoken to written, the words can be modified, but the tone and attitude in it can not be concealed, simple and straightforward words, the emperor's anger and worry are undoubtedly highlighted.

The whole will is very simple, it is nothing more than Tengxiang four guards, Shangzhi sixteen guards are favored by the emperor, but there is a vacillation of the position, mutiny and rebellion, raising soldiers for two hundred years, there is no war to quell the rebellion, the rebellion is very good, the emperor is very disappointed, the country is very disappointed. The fierce wording of the holy decree made the generals who received the decree sweat in an instant.

Since there is no such thing, of course, it is abolished, the sixteen guards of Shangzhi are abolished, and the guards around the Beijing Division and even some of the Gongwei Imperial Capital of the Northern Zhili are all abolished, and even this turmoil has implicated the three major battalions, due to the inaction of the three battalions, the emperor also issued a holy decree to the new military department, Sun Chengzong, the assistant director of the Beijing camp, Rong Zheng, to eliminate the old and weak, streamline the establishment, and rectify the new army.

Reducing the size of the armed forces has always been a relatively dangerous activity, and if it is not done well, it will cause a mutiny, so it is generally necessary for other armed forces to suppress it. The Yulin Army is fully training new recruits and expanding its establishment, and there is no time.

Therefore, this task fell to the 10,000 horses selected from the Tengxiang Four Guards, Four Guards Battalion, Warrior Battalion and other imperial horse prison forces after Qi Jin and Yu Zhigao were rectified. Although the most capable of fighting among these forbidden armies were lost on the night of the Red Pill Coup, they still have the strength to fight, not to mention that these are still selected, loyal and strong, and with weapons, although they can't defeat the Yulin Army, it's still no problem to bully and bully the three major battalions and the degenerate and rotten guards.

At the same time, Yu Zhigao led 3,000 people and cooperated with Sun Chengzong to start the streamlining activities of the three battalions. The people are fiery conscription, the army is boiling layoffs, and the noisy atmosphere makes the last month of the 48th year of Wanli full of the flavor of the military revolution, and also adds a murderous atmosphere to this New Year.

In the same way, there are also the generals of the guard who encroached on the fields of the military households, and the generals of the three major battalions who ate empty salaries, whether they were at the top or the middle level, and even the nobles who were inextricably linked with the army, almost all of them were opposed. However, under the righteousness of the rebellion, all the opposition and excuses were so pale.

Although the Red Pill coup d'état made Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne full of twists and turns, after the catastrophe, it gave Zhu Youxiao a good opening card, waving this flag, he was almost invincible.

Zhu Youxiao was very wise, he took all the land in the guard house as the imperial village, and then promised that when the time came, it would also be distributed to those military households who had become farmers to cultivate, and like other imperial villages, it would be rent-free. The good thing of pie-in-the-sky such as rent-free Huangzhuang has long been spread among tenants.

In the past, the tenants of large families and landlords had a kind of schadenfreude over the tenants of Huangzhuang, compared with the tenants of Huangzhuang who were bullied, their lives were much better, and the main family still took care of them, no more than the eunuchs who managed Huangzhuang, who only knew how to blindly encroach.

However, as soon as the news of the rent exemption spread, the eyes of the other tenants were red, and all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred churned in their hearts, and the news of the rent exemption spread instantly.

The military households of the guard also heard about it, but they only heard it, they would only praise the emperor for being kind and generous, and he was a holy monarch, but they never expected such a good thing to fall on their heads, and the cruel life had made them numb and even desperate.

Therefore, when such a big killer as rent-free comes out, it is really invincible, Qi Jin goes, the enemy looks at the wind and surrenders, no one can set off the wind and waves, and some of the family members raised by the master of the Wei Institute can't be hard at all after Qi Jin's selection, and they can't even flutter a wave.

Even before he arrived, some military households stole the roster information of the guard house and came to offer soil, hoping that the emperor's mercy would be sown on him as soon as possible. In this case, apart from the expansion of the imperial estate managed by Zhou Quan, there was no other trace of change.

The guard is so smooth, not to mention the Beijing camp, Sun Chengzong has not been in office for more than two months, with his identity as the emperor's teacher, no one in the three major battalions dares to resist, plus the threat of the Red Pill coup, Sun Chengzong easily attracted a group of depressed middle and lower classes, and cooperated with the 3,000 people brought by Yu Zhigao, and carried out the action of streamlining personnel and clearing vacancies in an orderly manner.

Although the organization has undergone several changes, and almost every generation of emperors has operated on it to try to save the glory of the three major battalions, the three battalion heads are still irrepressibly decaying and decaying. The three battalions claimed to have 300,000, but the vacancies were unknown, and the officials in charge in the past never sorted it out.

From the top to the bottom, almost everyone is eating empty salaries, the generals drink the blood of the soldiers one by one, and the soldiers at the bottom slip to work outside, and temporarily hire people to fill up the number during the exercise, the disadvantages during the period are simply indescribable, otherwise Chongzhen would not have done any castration.

Every year, hundreds of thousands or even millions of military salaries and materials flow into whose pockets. More than ten days later, when the results of the downsizing and dismissal of the 300,000 Beijing battalion reported to Zhu Youxiao's office, he was shocked and unexpectedly selected 15,000 available soldiers.

This is still the result of relaxing the standards, if it is based on the selection criteria of the Yulin Army, at most only about 2,000 people can be left, and the three major battalions that defend the safety of the Beijing Division are so far, which is really shocking and distressing.

Probably near the end of the year, there was still a day of Xiao Nian, and the curtain came down on the dismantling and rectification of the guard and the Beijing camp, and a total of 20,000 soldiers were selected for use, and these soldiers were all young people under 30 years old, and they could still become successful through rigorous training.

The 20,000 horses and 10,000 people of the Imperial Horse Prison Army were combined into one army, called the Beijing Division City Defense Army, with Qi Jin as the main general, stationed in the camp of the original three battalions, and took over the city defense and security of the entire Beijing Division.

With the issuance of this will, the emperor's movements also stopped, and the entire Qianqing Palace was immersed in the joy of the Spring Festival. Whether willing or unwilling, happy or unhappy, everyone began to celebrate the New Year.
