149 Rectify the army
Seeing him like this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help laughing. This plug Yinxi has a sense of reverence for the power he is about to get, which is also good.
So, he relieved Du Yinxi and then made up his mind.
Emperor Chongzhen himself didn't notice that Zuo Maodi and Du Yinxi had completely different reactions, but they were all accepted by him.
From this, it can be seen that his personality has not changed much, and he still believes in a person's words, so he believes it vigorously.
Just like at the moment, he believed Zhang Mingwei, everything Zhang Mingwei said was right, and the talents he recommended were all pleasing to the eye.
Unlike those original people, Zhang Mingwei won his trust and gave him the return he wanted. For example, resettle refugees, solve the case of the Nine Lotus Bodhisattva, eliminate the hidden dangers of the palace, keep his beloved concubine, and so on.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the last person again, Yan Yingyuan, who was also the good general he had been thinking about, and began to think about what he would do if he was asked to lead the troops?
With the previous two examples, Yan Yingyuan knew how much opportunity he would get, so he naturally wanted to show his ability.
In the troubled times, there is a great need for a military general who can fight!
Emperor Chongzhen asked carefully, but after all, he had never led soldiers, and the questions he asked were actually limited. But this did not prevent Yan Yingyuan's reply to leading the troops to fight, which made him very satisfied.
Later, even a few people went out of the palace and saw Yan Yingyuan's ability to fight in battle, especially his archery skills, which made Emperor Chongzhen stunned, and praised "Divine Arrow!" β
However, for Yan Yingyuan's appointment, Emperor Chongzhen did not appoint him immediately, but transferred to Wuyingdian and carefully discussed the situation in the army with Zhang Mingwei.
"Your Majesty, the Yongwei Battalion has now taken over the Jingying, and I went to see it before I came to the palace." Everyone was listening to Zhang Mingwei's recital, "Not to mention the general level and above, all of them are Zhu Chunchen's people, even ordinary soldiers, and they are all old and weak soldiers, and the Beijing camp is completely rotten." The strong soldiers of the Beijing camp that His Majesty saw during his daily inspection were actually just ruffians who Zhu Chunchen temporarily found to pretend to be ruffians. β
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but say with hatred, "It's really damned, the Beijing camp is rotten like this, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are blind?" β
In fact, he still wronged the Manchu Dynasty and the civil and military forces a little.
You must know that Zhu Chunchen was originally the Duke of Chengguo, and he has been hereditary for so many generations, and his power is actually very large.
Not to mention the Chinese officials of the DPRK, but many generals in the army are protΓ©gΓ©s of the Chengguo Gong lineage and the like. There are also generations of marriages, the Chengguo Gong lineage, which can be regarded as the top power of the Ming Dynasty.
For ordinary officials, it is simply impossible to touch him. He didn't even need Zhu Chunchen to make a move, just casually signaled, and there were his people to deal with those ordinary officials who dared to oppose him.
Even before, Xue Guoguan, who was the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, although he did not directly confront him, showed signs of touching his interests, and he was immediately ruined.
It can be seen from this that if ordinary officials go to impeach Zhu Chunchen, believe it or not, a large group of people will jump out to impeach him in turn, and it is needless to say who will be unlucky.
If it weren't for the fact that Emperor Chongzhen believed in Zhang Mingwei with 100,000 points, and had a Yongwei battalion available in his hand, and Zhu Chunchen was defenseless, closed the gate of the capital division, and suddenly moved, if he really wanted to move Zhu Chunchen, it would definitely not be so easy to shout and kill.
Now that Zhu Chunchen has been arrested, the Yongwei Battalion and the Jinyi Guard have made a big move to arrest the people of Zhu Chunchen's faction, which is naturally to be uprooted. After all, this thing that Zhu Chunchen did was a major crime of rebellion, and those who wanted to punish the nine clans, including those civil officials and military generals who were attached to Zhu Chunchen, would also be swept away. In this way, Zhu Chunchen's most influential Jingying is even more wasted, and there is no one.
At this time, seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was so angry, Zhang Mingwei smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, in fact, this is also a good thing!" β
"Huh?" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little confused, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.
And Zuo Maodi and the others on the side of the attendant, when they first arrived, didn't have the right to speak at all, just listened quietly on the side.
"Your Majesty, please think!" I heard Zhang Mingwei reply to Emperor Chongzhen, "If you usually want to rectify the Beijing camp, you will definitely encounter a lot of resistance both openly and secretly." If I remember correctly, His Majesty had asked Li Banghua to reorganize the Beijing camp before, but when the siege was built, the artillery of the Beijing camp bombarded the headquarters of Mangui, so that in the end, Li Banghua was disgraced. This is the manifestation of how much resistance the yang has encountered in rectifying the Beijing camp. β
Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but feel embarrassed again. Because in his opinion, Li Banghua's rectification was futile, so under the impeachment of the imperial historian, Li Banghua's rectification of the Beijing camp was yellow.
Zhang Mingwei continued, "It's good now, the forces in the entire Beijing camp are almost uprooted, and they are all old and weak soldiers, it just happens to be an opportunity to rebuild the Beijing camp, and the resistance is also the least, it's nothing more than the matter of the remaining soldiers' food and salaries and the generals to be solved!" β
Hearing this, Yan Yingyuan couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, guessing if he was going to Jingying, right?
"Sir's right!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, and then said with a little doubt, "But how to solve this soldier's food and salary?" β
Zhang Mingwei listened to it and said with a smile: "Food, this is the easiest to solve." I searched the Chengguo Mansion, and initially found at least 500,000 taels of silver, and if you add gold, jewelry, and other goods, at least a million. There are other Zhu Chunchen's subordinates, all of whom have been confiscated, and two million will definitely be no problem. This money can be used to rebuild the Beijing camp, which should be enough to form an elite army that can fight well and be like the Yongwei Battalion! β
"Good, good, good!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said yes.
For him, almost without paying a penny, and without sending additional troops to the people, he can get another army like the Yongwei Battalion, with more troops, which is definitely a great joy in this year of chaos in the world!
Even happy, he also said to Zhang Mingwei, "Among these people who are dismissed from office today, Mr. must also check carefully, and let them spit out the silver that they are greedy for on weekdays!" β
When Zuo Maodi and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be dumbfounded, that group of people turned out to be the most unlucky to lose their official positions and go to their posts, but to become lambs to be slaughtered, and it was the most unlucky to wait for the Jinyi guard to command them to do it!
Although this thought flashed through their hearts, no one sympathized with them. If corrupt officials and corrupt officials are not thoroughly investigated, what is the use of the law? And how can you deter other officials!
Besides, the money and property are confiscated, and they don't fall into personal pockets, they are all to be used in military affairs, which is definitely to be supported!
At this time, I heard Zhang Mingwei say again, "As for this source of soldiers, it's really time!" β
"Oh? Come quickly, sir! Emperor Chongzhen became excited again when he heard this, and hurriedly urged.
His appearance has constantly deepened Zuo Maodi and others' understanding of Zhang Mingwei's status.
"The soldiers at this time are the most capable of fighting, and they should be regarded as Qin soldiers and Liaodong soldiers." Zhang Mingwei said eloquently, "On Qin Bing's side, Sun Chuanting is rectifying, and it is not good to draw elites from him. And on the side of the Liaodong soldiers, like Huang Degong, Zhou Yuji and others in the Yongwei Battalion, they all fought from small soldiers. β
Emperor Chongzhen nodded when he heard this, in fact, many of the things that could be fought were indeed from the Liaodong Army.
"However, in the previous time, Liaodong generals married each other and controlled the Liaodong Guard, and it was not so easy for the imperial court to reach out. But now, the result of the battle of Songjin has dealt a major blow to Liaodong Jiangmen, Zu Dashou of Jinzhou has surrendered to Jianjiao, and the general army of Ningyuan, Wu Sangui, has also been wiped out, and now he is still thinking of transferring from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan ......"
Hearing him talk about this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately thought about it, and immediately interrupted Zhang Mingwei and said, "The previous Chen Xinjia's disposition of the defeated generals of Songjin, Mr. knows everything?" β
Seeing Zhang Mingwei nodded, he hurriedly asked, "What does that gentleman think?" β
Before, he did not approve Chen Xinjia's recital, in fact, he had to wait for Zhang Mingwei to return to Beijing before deciding. After all, when it comes to the disposal of the six major generals, and when it comes to the army level, he is still very cautious.
When Zhang Mingwei asked, he had actually thought about it, so he immediately replied, "How can you tolerate escaping from the battle!" If it is a change of peacetime, it is a bit difficult to deal with a general soldier. But now that their men are all gone, what else is there to worry about. β
Speaking of this, he paused and then said, "There are rumors outside that Chen Xinjia's punishment of these six general soldiers is based on the bribes they gave. I will strictly investigate this point in the future. However, I would like to tell Your Majesty in detail about Wu Sangui. β
Wu Sangui put Jianyu in the original history, became the king of Pingxi in Jianlu, and strangled Emperor Nanming, of course, Emperor Chongzhen saw it in the documentary. Therefore, for this Wu Sangui, there is absolutely no good feeling.
At this time, when he heard that Zhang Mingwei was going to talk about this Wu Sangui in detail, he listened with more attention.
"The reason why this Wu Sangui spared no expense and wanted to be exempted from crime and transferred to Shanhaiguan was because the strength of their Wu Zu family was greatly damaged, and Jinzhou was lost, and Ning Yuan was lonely outside Shanhaiguan. If Jianyu uses the same trick to deal with Jinzhou to besiege the city and send reinforcements, then Ningyuan will definitely fall. Wu Sangui was scared, so he thought about abandoning his lair and moving to the safety of Shanhaiguan. β
When Zhang Mingwei said this, he suddenly turned back to the previous topic and said, "In this way, it is the best time for the imperial court to intervene in the Liaodong army, otherwise if Wu Sangui gains a firm foothold in Shanhaiguan, if he wants to move him again, he will be a rat bogey!" β
In his opinion, Shanhaiguan, the most important checkpoint, must be in the hands of generals who are absolutely loyal to the imperial court. Otherwise, just like in history, Li Zicheng immediately hit the Jingshi and transferred Wu Sangui Qinwang, but he bargained with Emperor Chongzhen and didn't say anything, which made him unhappy, so he turned around and sold it to Jianyu, leading Jianyu into the customs, which would be a big harm!
