Chapter 034: Jizhen Mutiny
The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.
This is an important reason why the capital of the Ming Dynasty is clearly in Beijing, in order to completely solve the invasion of the grassland, but also to sweep away the internal hidden dangers, Zhu Di under such a banner, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is clear in Beijing, and as the place where the Son of Heaven is stationed, it must absolutely guarantee its safety!
At the same time, the core of the Ming Dynasty has been moved to Beijing, and it is also an existence that cannot go wrong at all, if there is any dare to make any mistakes in this, then let alone the invasion of foreign enemies, just without the central core, the Ming Dynasty will collapse itself.
In order to ensure that there are no problems with the core of the Ming Dynasty, and also to ensure that there are no problems in the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has identified nine important military towns in northern Xinjiang in turn, and these nine military towns will control the long northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty.
The Nine Sides were conceived under such circumstances.
In order to ensure the safety of the northern frontier of the Ming Dynasty, the nine sides played a very important role in this, but as time went by, the Ming officialdom became more and more corrupt, and because of the party dispute, the imperial court has always been able to delay the military and political affairs.
If it weren't for the appearance of Zhao Zongwu, I am afraid that Liaodong at this time had already become the private land of some families, and the land of Liaoxi was only nominally owned by the Ming Dynasty.
Every year, Daming invests so much money in Liaodong, but after all, it is only for the so-called general trend, which also makes the disaster worse for Daming.
"Grandpa Guo! Big things are wrong! Chen Qiyu's expression was a little worried, holding the urgent military situation from the front line, and walked quickly towards Zhao Zongwu, and at the same time said with a little excitement: "There is a rebellion in Jizhen!" Due to hunger and demand, the garrison of Jizhen burned and looted gunpowder, which caused serious chaos in the area of Jizhen! ”
Originally, Zhao Zongwu was still thinking about which side to start with to clean up the overwhelmed Beijing camp, but after hearing Chen Qiyu's shout, he was shocked at that time, what the hell is going on? According to the historical process in memory, this Jizhen rebellion should have appeared in July of the first year of Chongzhen, how could it happen more than half a year in advance?
What the hell is going on?
Zhao Zongwu frowned and looked at Chen Qiyu, and asked in a sonorous voice: "What the hell is going on, Jizhen is fine, why is there a rebellion?" ”
Chen Qiyu said: "It's not because Cheng Guogong is in the middle of it!" Because he controls the allocation of financial power of my Ming Dynasty, so many times if you want to make a budget, you have to go through his hands, and this former Jizhen general soldier is the way of Wei Zhongxian, who was sentenced to eunuch and arrested into the edict of Beizhen Fusi.
The original chief soldier of Ji Town was arrested, and the deputy chief soldier of Ji Town was temporarily replaced by his authority, responsible for stabilizing the stability of Ji Town, and there was nothing wrong with this.
However, in order to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, the former general soldier of Jizhen embezzled the silver salary originally allocated by the imperial court to honor Wei Zhongxian and some of his henchmen, the purpose of which was to get more allocation from the imperial court.
This kind of situation is very common in many places in the Ming Dynasty, in order to be able to expand the proportion of some silver salaries, they have to use the way of embezzlement, to bribe the officials in charge of this way, which makes the already small silver salary, sent to the hands of the low-level soldiers even less.
After each floor, the official would go up and down.
Originally, the original general soldier of Ji Town wanted to make more silver salary, but after all, he did not do such a thing, and was arrested as a eunuch party, but the embezzled silver salary was not returned, and the deputy chief soldier of Ji Town took his post on his behalf, but Ji Town has long been short of silver salary for as long as half a year!
Originally, this low-level soldier had a great opinion, the arrest of the former general soldier of Jizhen was regarded as completely igniting their anger, and the deputy general soldier of Jizhen wanted to suppress it but could not suppress it, and wanted the court to ask for silver salary to calm the anger of the soldiers, but Cheng Guogong refused to provide a trace of silver salary to Jizhen on the grounds that the previous silver salary had been issued.
For this reason, I also ran back and forth several times, but the final result was the same! ”
After hearing this, Zhao Zongwu understood why this was the case, and then preached: "What is the situation in Jizhen now? ”
"The deputy chief soldier of Jizhen is also a little capable, and he has temporarily calmed the emotions of the soldiers of Jizhen, but the soldiers of Jizhen want to meet the officials of the DPRK and China by name, and their needs must be solved." After listening to Zhao Zongwu's inquiry, Chen Qiyu sorted out his thoughts and said: "Grandpa Guo, according to the current situation in Jizhen, just bring the relevant personnel to calm down this matter, and there must be no chaos in Jizhen at this time node." ”
Zhao Zongwu narrowed his eyes slightly, waved his hand and said, "Yuxuan, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to go to this matter, so it's better for my father-in-law to go on a trip himself."
According to my father's guess, the reason why there will be a rebellion in Jizhen is indeed caused by the factors you just described, and on the other hand, I am afraid that someone will know the treatment of my Liaodong army, which also makes the soldiers stationed in Jizhen feel somewhat unbalanced.
Speaking of which, my father also wants to thank Zhu Chunchen! If it weren't for his role in this, Bengong would have to wait for a few years if he wanted to be in Jizhen Buzi, but now that there is a rebellion in Jizhen, then Bengong can send his own core generals to Jizhen to rectify it, so as to promote the relevant reforms in Jizhen! ”
Reaching Zhao Zongwu's status, everything they do is with a deep purpose, if there are not enough benefits for them to do, then they will not act easily at all.
Chen Qiyu listened carefully to what his grandfather said, but there was still worry in his heart, and his tone was a little hesitant: "Grandpa Guo, although this is the case, but let your daughter go to Jizhen, I am still a little worried in my heart!"
If the soldiers of Jizhen were deliberately instigated by some people to act excessively, my Liaodong army was not by my side after all!
You must know that there are more than 40,000 soldiers stationed in Jizhen Town......"
Before Chen Qiyu's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Zongwu, who was beside him, waving his hand: "This duke has never even been afraid of the Jiannu army, not to mention that this Jizhen soldier is also my Ming Jian'er, but their own interests have not been taken seriously by the imperial court, and there was no one specifically responsible for this matter, but now that this duke has taken over the military administration of the Ming Dynasty, then this duke must be responsible for them to the end!" ”
Since Zhao Zongwu has nominally mastered the military power of the Ming Dynasty, then he must realize this step by step, so that Zhang Weixian and they can't find any reason to stop him!
