Chapter 033: Overwhelmed Jingying

The innovation of the top and bottom of the brocade guard, it is not a simple thing to clarify the name of each ministry and the organization, and the large framework is fixed, so the next step is to adjust the subtleties.

At this point, Zhao Zongwu believed in Ye Chao very much.

After several years of tempering, if they still can't sort out the things under their command, then they can consider retiring and going home to retire.

In order to recover as soon as possible, Jinyiwei's super combat effectiveness.

Zhao Zongwu also brought over from Liaodong, the more than 1,500 elite special forces, from which more than 500 special forces were selected and filled into the Jinyi system.

Zhao Zongwu believed in his heart that with such a group of elite backbones to join Jinyiwei, the next transformation of Jinyiwei will be obvious to all.

And when Jinyiwei was busy reinventing himself, Zhao Zongwu was not idle, and he would discuss with Chen Qiyu how to rectify the overwhelmed Beijing camp.

When it comes to this Beijing camp, it is an elite and strong army that the Ming court gathered on the edge of the capital in order to strengthen the centralization of power.

People who are familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty know that Jingying is a general term, and its command includes: five military battalions, three thousand battalions, and Shenji battalions.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, those who could enter the Beijing camp were all elite soldiers, which made the combat effectiveness of the Beijing camp always be one top and one strong!

Especially the Divine Machine Battalion, who is the master who does not take the gun!

Zhu Di has been able to achieve such brilliant results on several northern expeditions, and the role played by the Beijing camp in this does not need to be explained too much.

However, in this big business, there will always be a loser, Zhu Qizhen, a bear baby, a Northern Expedition, favored the eunuchs, which eventually led to the change of Tumubao, and then made the main force of the accompanying Beijing camp lose out in the change of Tumubao.

This also made the Beijing battalion change its organization several times after that, first there was Yu Qian's reform of the system, the establishment of the ten regiments and battalions, the ten regiments and battalions were led by the chief military officer, and the supervisor was the minister, the military department Shangshu or the capital Yushi as the commander.

At the beginning of the day after tomorrow, the 10th regiment battalion was dismissed, and the original system of the Beijing battalion was restored, and at the beginning of Chenghua, the old system of the 10th regiment and battalion was restored, but it was deposed again in the second year, and then it was reset in the third year, and it was added to the 12th regiment battalion......

In this way, it was maintained to the Zhengde Dynasty, but at that time the Beijing camp had already regressed, and when Zhengde first ascended the throne, the 12th regiment battalion only selected 60,000 and 500 sharp soldiers.

This Emperor Zhengde can't bear it at first glance, how can the dignified Beijing camp just do this?

It's simply not enough to see.

Then tens of thousands of border troops were dispatched into the capital, named: four families.

However, if the system is too much, it is easy to be confused, so in order to facilitate management, two official halls in the east and west have been added, the east official hall drills the officers and soldiers selected at the beginning of Zhengde, and the west official hall selects regimental battalions and warriors and four guards for drills. So far, the two official halls are called 'Xuanfeng', and the 12th regiment and battalion are called 'hometown'.

In this way, until the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing deposed the regimental battalion and the two official halls, and restored the old system of the three battalions, but the original three thousand battalions were renamed the Shenshu battalion, and the names of the three battalions and the ministers were all retrenched, and the commander of the general was called the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng; Assisted by a member of the civil minister, he was called the assistant director of the Jingying Rongzheng. It has deputy officers of staff and other subordinate officers. All the soldiers of the regimental battalion and the two official halls shall belong to the five military battalions; And the Baoxu Order Banner and other items are still under the Shenshu camp. Until the late Ming Dynasty, the three major battalions added surveillance ministers, and the battalion affairs were all under the command of the lieutenant officers.

In the long years of the Ming Dynasty, although Jingtai, Chenghua, Longqing and Wanli were in the middle and late periods, the camp was reorganized, which made the Beijing camp quite invigorated. But after all, this can't withstand the corruption of officialdom in the late Wanli period, the battalion commander is greedy and incompetent, and the matter of eating empty salaries and drinking soldiers' blood is becoming more and more serious, which directly leads to the deterioration of the combat effectiveness of the Beijing battalion......

"According to the secret investigation and visits of the lowly post in the past few months, the five military battalions, the Shenshu battalion, and the Shenji battalion have not reached full strength, and even the soldiers of the Shenji battalion, in order to be able to squander their money, are constantly guarding and stealing themselves, and they actually steal and sell the firecrackers in the camp!" Chen Qiyu earnestly recounted the truth of their investigation in the past few months, but this mood was somewhat sad.

Because Zhao Zongwu knew very well what kind of urine Jingying was in his heart, he was not so angry in his heart after hearing this.

On the contrary, he smiled and said to Chen Qiyu: "The situation is not much different from what my father guessed, and it is no wonder that Zhang Weixian, an old fox, would throw Jingying to my father so happily."

Although it is said that he can reap the benefits of being in charge of the Jingying, he has already received a lot of benefits from his father, which makes him, an old fox, not so much value the benefits of the Jingying.

This is also a scene of their partnership and division of power, which is really quite a chicken thief, worthy of an old fox! ”

Chen Qiyu frowned and said: "Grandpa Guo, speaking of this, there is still one thing that needs to be told about the humble position, the reason why this Beijing camp is like today is more because of those martial forces of the Ming Dynasty."

But whoever has some ability and can insert a few words, they will intervene in the Beijing camp, or arrange a descendant, or show face, and the court has always turned a blind eye to this, so that what should have been the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty ended up in this world! ”

"Yuxuan, what you said is not entirely true, maybe it accounts for some of it." Regarding Chen Qiyu's expression, Zhao Zongwu could not deny that he was right, so he continued: "But there is a more important point in this, that is, let the layman rule the insider.

He also found two different groups of laymen, each of whom was given different authority, so that they could effectively clamp down on the top and bottom of the Beijing camp.

This also makes the Beijing camp slowly become a bargaining chip in the political struggle, a really strong army, not to prove them on the battlefield, but need to keep jumping on other people's chessboards, even if the elite is drawn from the border army every year, it will never solve the root of the Beijing camp's overuse! ”

This situation is not only in the Ming Dynasty, the army cannot be used as a pure war violence machine, can not obey the orders of only one person, then there will inevitably be all kinds of problems.

If you want to forge a strong army all the time, the separation of military and political affairs is the road that must be taken, and the strong army in later generations has walked out of such a sunny road.

Chen Qiyu savored what his grandfather said, and slowly found that his grandfather said a lot, although it was said that the current Jingying was completely rotten to the root.

But fundamentally speaking, it is precisely because of Beijing that it has become a bargaining chip in political struggle.

If you want to completely reform the Beijing camp and make the Beijing camp regain its super combat effectiveness, then you must put an end to everything from the root!

Zhao Zongwu said: "Now the Ming Dynasty is in the stage of the auxiliary government of the Four Kingdoms, and at the same time, in order to avoid unnecessary political troubles, we have clarified the authority of the princes, although this has added some barriers to the Ming Society, but this is a very good thing for the father."

Because Bengong has already thought about what Jingying should do in the future, but such a large-scale reform will inevitably touch the vested interests of many people.

Originally, Bengong still had some scruples in his heart, but now that he has won the military power of the Ming Dynasty, the first thing Bengong has to do next is to expel the laymen entrenched in the Beijing camp! ”

As the most effective general by Zhao Zongwu's side, when Zhao Zongwu talked about this, Chen Qiyu understood what his grandfather was going to do.

"Grandpa Guo, if you come up and expel the court officials and central officials stationed in the Beijing camp, will this attract a lot of criticism?" Speaking of this, Chen Qiyu's face was somewhat worried.

After all, it is not an easy thing to carry out reforms in Beijing, because you are a little careless. You'll run into a whole bunch of uncontrollable factors.

From the original Ming Kingdom in Jinling, to the Ming Kingdom moved to the capital, Zhu Di out of the country's stability, the consolidation of imperial power, that is also to kill a lot of people, painstaking, to finally make the core of the Ming Dynasty to move to the capital, and then after two generations of consolidation, finally made the world from the heart began to acquiesce, the Ming political core, the economic core is the capital, not Jinling.

Although it is said that the Ming Dynasty has always pursued the two-Beijing system, Jinling has a complete set of administrative teams, except for the absence of a cabinet, all the rest.

And this is because of a vested interest.

Zhao Zongwu is going to start moving the Beijing camp, so it will inevitably touch those vested interest groups who have gained benefits in the Beijing camp.

Since it's a touch, then it must be a quick knife to cut through the mess!!

Zhao Zongwu smiled and waved his hand: "Yuxuan don't worry, this is something that my father has already thought about what to do, since we want to move the Beijing camp, then we must completely give the Beijing camp a big change, it is impossible to say that we are working hard to innovate here, but there is still a phenomenon of pulling back the legs within the Beijing camp."

Bengong is not him Zhang Weixian, he chooses to stick to the rules, that's because he is in this circle, but Bengong doesn't take this aspect into account at all, so it's not so difficult for Bengong to get rid of that group of vested interest groups. ”

Seeing that his grandfather was so confident, this also made the worry in Chen Qiyu's heart gradually disperse.

has followed Zhao Zongwu for so many years, as long as he has said such confidence, then there is nothing he has not done successfully.

It is precisely because of this confidence that Zhao Zongwu was able to rise step by step in Liaodong and expel the powerful Jiannu army from Liaodong.

Originally, the moves that Zhao Zongwu came up with were somewhat lacking, but then an incident happened that gave him a very legitimate reason.

It is also because of this reason that Zhao Zongwu was able to solve the general trend of Beijing very smoothly, and it was precisely because of this incident that Daming slowly moved towards a completely different direction.

This is something that Zhao Zongwu never expected.
