After the Yongwei battalion pulled out the camp, it drove into the city of Nanjing, occupied the three military camps in the south, and drove out the garrisons of the original four military camps.

The place in the south of the city, not only the garrison is there, it is very chaotic, and the Ming army in the city can be divided into two kinds, one is the patrol army stationed in the north of the city, and the other is the standing army stationed in the south of the city.

To put it simply, the people currently stationed in the south of Nanjing can be roughly divided into two categories.

One is the barracks.

For example, the upper side camp on the south gate, the south camp and the east camp are occupied by the Yongwei battalion after entering the city, which is set up for the Yongle Dynasty and is stationed here, and is one of the standing armies of Nanjing.

These three battalions of standing army are not responsible for patrolling and rotating Nanjing City on weekdays, as well as arresting thieves, unless there are rebels in the city, or the thieves attack the city, they will not move.

Nowadays, the troops of the border camp, the south camp, and the east camp are all in charge of those nobles in Nanjing, and the number of registered people reported by Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei in the first year of Taichang, is 50,000 in each of the three battalions, a total of 150,000.

Zhu Youxiao has never been there, and I heard that there are not many people left, and most of them are occupied by the nobles and the children of the family.

The standing army of these three battalions must be restructured and the military power will be taken back from the hands of the nobles.

In addition to this kind of standing army and peacetime patrol army, another category is the remains of the artisan camp from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present, because the artisan households lived in a centralized manner and managed in a unified manner, similar to the garrison.

Continuing to this day, the disadvantages are fully revealed.

The three battalions of the standing army were only stationed in the south of the city, and this time the Yongwei battalion entered the city and occupied their station, so they all moved to several empty camps of the patrol army in the north of the city.

As for the artisan households, they are wide in the city of Nanjing and even outside the city.

For example, the carpenter camp at the east gate is full of the descendants of carpenters who were transferred here during the Yongle period, and its distribution location is very wide, and they have to go north to Beijing every year to be a shift craftsman.

The shift craftsman system, as well as the craftsman registration system, which has been practiced in China for nearly four centuries, are among the old systems that Zhu Youxiao came to Nanjing to abolish.

Of course, the abolition of the old system requires the restraint and replacement of the new system in order to have a positive and positive impact on the present.

Zhu Youxiao thought about these very clearly.

I came to Nanjing for the purpose of drastic reform, even if I can't make Nanjing a safe and stable rear, I have to let this Jiangnan create some income for the imperial court.

Then go back and dry with Tartar.

The characteristic of the craftsman registration system is that all craftsmen who have entered the craftsman registration are called military craftsmen, and they cannot leave the station for generations.

One person detached, and the whole family sat together.

As long as they are registered as craftsmen, unless the emperor of the current dynasty has other wills to vigorously improve the artisan household system, they will live in the artisan camp until the death of the Ming Dynasty and are not allowed to enter and exit.

There is a stream outside Nanjing, which Zhu Youxiao also saw when he entered the city.

On the west bank of the creek, there are many artisan battalions, among which there is a cotton armor battalion, which was established in the Yongle year and continues to this day, and the workshops that make cotton clothes, armor and cotton shoes for the army are also distributed on both sides of the cotton armor battalion station.

Every year, the cotton armor battalion will transport the newly made cotton armor and mandarin duck cotton clothes to Jiubian and Liaodong through Cao to replace the armor and armor of the border army.

Since the first year of the Apocalypse, the Ordnance Division has set up many workshops in Tianjin Wei and Denglai Port.

By the end of October of the second year of the Apocalypse, the military department had played, and the armor and standard knives and guns of the nine-sided garrison had all been replaced by the old and the new, and Xiong Tingbi had also received three batches of newly made shotguns and artillery.

The Ordnance Division workshop in Tianjin Port is studying the Dutch warships and artillery captured in the Battle of Penghu, and will soon be able to imitate and install other people's advanced weapons on their own sailors.

Although these old artisan camps in Nanjing seem to be of little use now, they are all excellent "military factories" with a good foundation, and as long as they are slightly restructured, they can be turned into factories under the Ordnance Department of the Imperial Court and play their due role.

It will burn more money, but Zhu Youxiao already has a way to deal with it.

Three years ago, the increase in tariffs along the river brought hundreds of thousands of taels of income to the imperial court every year, which was a temptation, and now, it is time to carry out commercial tax reform.

There is also a mining tax, which should also be popularized from the North Zhili to the South Zhili.

The tea and horse trade at the border was expressly forbidden, and Zhu Youxiao was ready to reopen, but this time, it was to be led by the imperial court to do business with Lin Dan Khan, exchanging tea, silk, and porcelain for their cattle, sheep and horses.

In this business, the Mongols felt that they had made a lot of money, and the Ming Dynasty also felt that they had made a lot of money, so why not take what they need.

There is also the private salt business of Shandong Lianghuai, which has nourished countless wealthy families in Jining City, and this time Zhu Youxiao is also ready to intervene.

Remove the Imperial History of Salt Inspection and the Inspection Department, and the Supervision Department must grasp the salt inspection, the purchase of salt farms, and salt fields, and the more money he makes, the more Zhu Youxiao can't let go.

The rebellion of Zhu Guobi in Funing was a wake-up call for Zhu Youxiao.

It is not all good things for the nobles to be in charge of the army, as the emperor, the military power of the whole country is still the most comfortable in his own hands, Zhu Guobi is in Jianyang, Xijiangkou, and the military power of Xiaolingwei, this time it is withdrawn.

However, the standing army of the third battalion in Nanjing, with a strength of 150,000 on the roster, is still in the hands of this group of nobles in Nanjing.

If it is not all taken back, how dare Zhu Youxiao make the next reform.

If the interests of the civil officials are violated, they will at most say a few words to you, but if they move the big cake that has been passed down by the nobles for hundreds of years, maybe they will partner in the opposite direction.

The 150,000 standing army in Nanjing, as well as tens of thousands of patrol troops and garrisons in the various guards of Nanzhili, are all in charge of the nobles.

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to have this feeling of being constrained, so the first thing he did when he entered Nanjing this time was to learn from Zhao Kuangyin and have a glass of wine to release the military power.

For two hundred years, Nanzhili's military power has always been in the hands of Huaixi Xungui, and this time, I want to take it back into my own hands.

......

"This Lu Xiangsheng is here again."

"Message, I give him this opportunity, don't stay in the capital, if there is nothing to do in the Hanlin Academy, go to the mouth of the Xijiang River and reorganize the garrison there."

The first day of the third year of the Apocalypse.

Early in the morning, Zhu Youxiao walked in the courtyard where the original Funing Houfu was located, holding Lu Xiangsheng's recital in his hand, and said to Wang Chaofu, who was accompanying him as he walked:

"As for the name... Just give him a right squire of the military department, by the way, tell him..."

"The garrison at the mouth of the Xijiang River has just returned to the imperial court, and it is lacking a backbone, Sun Chuanting is in Yulin, and even those unruly generals can be tamed, and if he can't handle these soldiers, he will be told not to go up to me again."

Wang Chaofu naturally understood that the emperor was trying to provoke Lu Xiangsheng, and said with a smile: "The slave understands, Your Majesty is careful, and your clothes are wet." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao lifted the corner of his regular clothes and rubbed it.

He had come all the way on foot, his clothes were stained with the dew that had gathered from night to morning, and his tentacles were moist and cool, and then he smiled and asked:

"Have they all arrived?"

Wang Chaofu followed behind step by step, and said softly: "Back to Your Majesty, the nobles have arrived, just wait in the palace." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Youxiao nodded and glanced at the lobby of Funing Houfu, which was now hung with a brand-new "Anding Palace" plaque.

Since the Funing Hou lineage was cut, the Funing Houfu was transformed into the "palace" of the Emperor of the Apocalypse in Nanjing.

This edict allowed the nobles of Nanjing to come to face the saints, but no one dared not to come, after all, Zhu Guobi's lessons from the past are still in front of him.

Zhu Youxiao stepped up the stairs step by step, and sneered in his heart, whether you come or not this time, the military power in your hands should also be handed over to me.
