Li Biao hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!" ”

"Your Majesty, what should you do with Jinyiwei's secret stake agents?" Li Biao asked with a slight hesitation.

Jinyiwei has always been strong in the hidden piles and secret agents, many of the hidden piles have been buried for decades, the father dies and the son succeeds, and they live in the local area on weekdays, and only when they are used, they will reveal their identities.

Some of these people are even the descendants of the first batch of dark piles in the Hongwu period.

Once Jinyiwei becomes the tax picket of the Ming Dynasty, will these hidden piles and secret agents also have to be brought over? You must know that these hidden piles and spies are not just buried in the people.

The princes' mansions, the clan vassal kings, and the ministers of civil and military affairs, these people are the hidden objects of the Jinyi Guard.

Although the East Factory is powerful, many times the East Factory is just the emperor's knife, which the emperor uses to deal with civil officials. Jinyiwei is different, it is more like a military institution extended by the emperor to the locality.

Zhu Yijun was also a little hesitant about this question, and to put it bluntly, he was a little reluctant.

If he really abolished Jinyiwei like this, he would be a little unwilling, but if Jinyiwei continued to use Jinyiwei in the old way like now, Zhu Yijun was a little hesitant.

If he had to position Jinyiwei, Zhu Yijun thought of a notorious branch of the army in later generations, its name was military police.

Although the gendarmerie has the power to picket military discipline, most of the time, the gendarmerie is the local stability maintainer. The duty is also very simple, that is, to maintain stability in the occupied territories.

It is said to be notorious because of the military police of Japan and Germany during World War II.

Now although Daming can't talk about Chengping all over the world, it's about the same, is it appropriate to position Jinyiwei as a military police? Zhu Yijun has been wondering if he wants to position Jinyiwei like this.

"Maybe you can give it a try!" Zhu Yijun thought about it and sighed, he didn't know if he was doing it right.

If the Imperial Horse Prison is a military espionage agency, then Jinyiwei can indeed be positioned as a military policeman. On the one hand, they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, the closest army to the emperor.

On the other hand, the local army of Daming wants to carry out the reform of the recruitment system, which is indeed a problem.

The Imperial Horse Supervisor can't solve all the problems, once the gendarmerie unit is established, so far, the Ming Dynasty has not had a yamen that can investigate the **** problem.

"I hope I'm doing nothing wrong!" Zhu Yijun looked at Li Biao and gritted his teeth and made this determination.

You must know that the gendarmerie has its active role, and the gendarmerie is not a derogatory term originally. Later republics also had gendarmes, but the Germans and the Japanese completely discredited the gendarmes.

If it really fights outward, Daming does need to maintain local stability all the time, and Jinyiwei may be able to try it?

Zhu Yijun looked at Li Biao and said, "I ask you, are you willing to stay in Jinyiwei?" ”

Li Biao was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the emperor to ask like this, so he immediately showed surprise on his face, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is willing to stay in Jinyiwei!" ”

As an official from the inner factory, Li Biao prefers to stay in Jinyiwei rather than go to the household department. What kind of power does Jinyiwei have, he is the boss in Jinyiwei, what is he when he goes to the household department?

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Since that's the case, let's divide Jinyiwei into two!" ”

"Some people went to the tax picket department, and some people continued to stay in Jinyiwei."

"However, the authority of the Jinyi Guard will be changed, and I will give the Jinyi Guard the power to supervise the army, that is, the power to investigate corruption and rampant oppression in the army."

"Of course, you can continue to do things to detect anti-thieves and maintain local stability."

Li Biao was immediately overjoyed, this is really a turning point, Jinyiwei not only did not cut power, but also got new power. Li Biao hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will do his best to live up to His Majesty's trust." ”

Nodding, Zhu Yijun continued: "Split the Jinyi Guard, leave all those who can fight and fight, and I will drop some of the soldiers who can fight in the Beijing camp to fill the Jinyi Guard, and make up for the establishment of the Jinyi Guard." ”

In fact, the Jinyi Guard has been cut down very badly now, and many yamen have not been abolished, and the number of people is not satisfied.

According to the normal establishment, Jinyi Wei is a guard, that is, there should be 5,000 households, and 5,000 people under its jurisdiction. But Jinyiwei is different, there are fourteen thousand households.

Every province has a thousand households, and if it is full, it is a thousand people in each province.

In fact, the reason why Jinyiwei is famous is because he is the only pro-army unit that the emperor can mobilize. At the beginning of the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang set up the 12 guards of the pro-army, all of which were armed by the emperor's cronies.

During the Yongle period, Zhu Di once again expanded the pro-army troops. Ten guards were added, so that the pro-army expanded to twenty-two guards, and these twenty-two guards, with a total of 110,000 people, were all the emperor's pro-army, that is, the emperor's personal army.

In the Xuande period, the four guards were expanded again, that is, the famous Tengxiang four guards, so that the number of pro-army reached twenty-six, and the imperial power also reached its peak.

They are well-equipped, they are all soldiers of a hundred battles, and they are the emperor's guarantee to deter the world.

The turning point of the matter occurred in the battle of Tumubao, the emperor's personal army of the 26th Guards did not go out, and the troops still remaining in Beijing were all called up and thrown into the defense of Beijing under the unified command of Yu Qian, the squire of the military department.

Since then, in addition to the Jinyi Guard, and Tengxiang Left Guard, Teng Xiang Right Guard, Wu Xiang Left Guard, Wu Xiang Right Guard, Wu Xiang Right Guard, the rest of the 26 guards of the pro-army have been mixed with the ordinary troops of the Beijing camp, although the name has not changed, but has been changed to be managed by the military department, no longer the emperor personally commanded the Praetorian Guard.

In terms of administration, personnel, salaries, etc., it was subject to civilian officials, and it was declining day by day, and it had little combat effectiveness in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and it was rarely mentioned.

On the twelve guards, only the Jinyi Guard remained under the command of the emperor himself. In addition, Xuande added the pro-army Tengxiang Left Guard, Tengxiang Right Guard, Wu Xiang Left Guard, and Wu Xiang Right Guard, collectively known as the Four Guards Battalion, which was commanded by the imperial horse eunuchs in the palace.

Although Yu Qian defended the capital, he was also a civil official, and he could be said to spare no effort when cutting the emperor's power.

Yingzong was imprisoned, Daizong was put on the throne by the ministers, and Daizong was able to ascend the throne thanks to civil officials, which also made him overly dependent on civil management, giving civil officials the opportunity to reduce imperial power, or reduce the opportunity to reduce the strength of military generals.

This is also the reason why Yingzong favored the eunuchs, which led to the defeat of Tumubao, and the military or Xungui still supported his restoration. The civil officials cut their power too hard, and the nobles were also forced to be anxious.

Yingzong was restored and killed Yu Qian, not because Yingzong was ungrateful, or to take revenge on Yu Qian, he couldn't do it if he didn't do that.

This is the collective appeal of those who support his restoration, and at the same time want to take back his power, and it is not possible to kill Yu Qian. So Yu Qian died, and died a miserable death.

Even so, the emperor only took back Tengxiang Siwei and Jinyi Wei.

The result is that the emperor can only use eunuchs and Jinyi Wei to maintain his power, and then the civil officials frantically attack Jinyi Wei and eunuchs, doing everything they can to discredit them, to put it bluntly, it is a struggle for monarchy and ministers.

Throughout the history of feudal dynasties, the struggle for monarchy and vassal power has never stopped.

In the early stage, it was represented by the struggle between the monarch and the prime minister, and when the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, it directly evolved into a civil official group and a symbol of monarchy. The dispute during the Jiajing period is one of the representatives, and the dispute over the Great Rites is the struggle for the power of the monarch and the civil power.

Emperor Jiajing also went down in person at first, and later directly looked for a thug, that is, Yan Song. Obviously, Yan Song, a thug, is still qualified, and he will directly beat Yang Tinghe and Mao Cheng's civil official group.

It's just that it was only temporary, after Emperor Jiajing, there were Xu steps and then Gao Gong, and then there was a Zhang Juzheng.

The power of the ministers rose sharply again, and the imperial power was overwhelmed, and the Wanli Emperor struggled all his life, but finally failed. Until the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he finally struggled out and breathed a sigh of relief, but he still used the eunuchs.

Wei Zhongxian, a lackey, is also qualified, and he punched and kicked the Donglin Party down.

Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the entire country was constantly consumed in this power struggle. The civil officials of the Song Dynasty completely overwhelmed the military generals, shared the world with the scholars, and the emperor's power was also compressed to the limit, and then the civil servants began to fight by themselves, and the same fight was chaotic.

Since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne, he appointed his cronies and military generals to take charge of the Beijing camp, made money by himself, and expanded the Tengxiang Four Guards with the silver of the Inner Treasury. Up to now, the pro-army has restored the old concept of the 24 guards, with a total of 100,000 pro-army troops.

Wenchen pinched the emperor's neck, and a large part of it was because of financial power.

The treasury has no money, and if you want to expand the army, you have no money, your majesty, you can figure it out yourself.

Zhu Yijun successfully bypassed this, it's okay, I paid for it myself. This is an important reason why Zhu Yijun can achieve today's status. Now that we have to extend our hands to the local military and government, it is imperative to expand the Jinyi Guard.

Looking at Li Biao, Zhu Yijun continued to speak: "The strength of the fourteen guards of Jinyi Wei is a little thin, increase it a little!" The number was increased to 20, and more people were sent to the north and south. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, obey the order!" Li Biao was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed down.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "I will find someone to contact you on the side of the Tax Picket Division, but I have to wait a few days first, and I will find a suitable person to be in charge of the Tax Picket Division." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Li Biao hurriedly agreed.

In this matter, Li Biao is not going to say anything, today's face is sage, Li Biao has experienced ups and downs, but fortunately, the result is satisfactory, which makes Li Biao very satisfied.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and motioned for Li Biao to retreat.

When Li Biao left, Zhu Yijun sighed, and it was estimated that there would be another bloody storm. Li Biao is obviously not an honest master, and it is estimated that after the Jinyiwei split is completed, he will make a big move.

Hereditary officers in various places, I am afraid that there will be trouble, and it is estimated that many nobles will be involved.

"It's okay to pack a batch!" Zhu Yijun said lightly.

On the contrary, Zhu Yijun doesn't care much about the expansion of Jinyiwei, he has money now, and Jinyiwei is only expanding six guards, 30,000 people, which is not a big deal.

"Go to Cining Palace." Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and commanded.

Inspect the yamen of the capital metropolitan procuratorate.

Hai Rui was sitting in the hall drinking tea, and next to him was Xu Wenchang. Since he was arranged by the emperor to write "The Biography of the Emperor's Heroes" last year, Xu Wenchang has not been so idle for a long time.

It was supposed to be over a year ago, but with Hai Rui's trouble, the progress was slowed down.

Although Xu Wenchang knew that Hai Rui admired Emperor Taizu very much, Xu Wenchang never thought that Hai Rui respected Emperor Taizu so much. I heard that I was going to write "The Biography of the Emperor's Heroes", so I had to help the staff officers, but I always wanted to carry private goods.

If he hadn't made trouble, he would have finished writing a long time ago, and after glancing at Hai Rui who was drinking tea, Xu Wenchang was still angry.

"There is a word in the palace, what are you going to do?" Xu Wenchan looked at Hai Rui and said slowly.

"What to do?" Hai Rui looked at Xu Wenchang and said indifferently: "What should I do, what are we doing?" I've already asked someone to call Fang Ming. ”

For Fang Ming, to be honest, Xu Wenchang didn't think much of it.

Saying that he is a cool official, he is not yet, but he always exudes a ruthlessness. When he was in the tax department, Fang Ming was famous for not being afraid of the powerful, and he had a desperate posture.

Civil officials are not afraid of the powerful and ask for the lives of the people, while Fang Ming seems to want to be promoted even more, in short, he is out of place.

However, Hai Rui admired Fang Ming very much, and since Fang Ming was promoted to the commander of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, Hai Rui relied on Fang Ming very much. There was a rumor in the palace to cooperate with the actions of the Tax Department, and Hai Rui called Fang Ming as soon as possible.

Fang Ming, who was dressed in light armor, walked into the lobby with a knife, and saw Hai Rui and Xu Wenchang clasping their fists and said, "I've seen two adults!" ”

Hai Rui nodded and said with a smile: "Sit!" After Fang Ming sat down, Hai Rui opened his mouth and continued: "There is a word in the palace, you are going to do it, you five cities will not make a mistake, right?" ”

Although I have managed it before, it is mainly to clean up personnel.

Wanting a group of subordinates who are like fingers, whether it is for Hai Rui, Xu Wenchang or Fang Ming, it is very difficult. It is not easy to be an official in the capital, but now what you have to do is to offend people, and many people are unwilling to do it.

"Don't worry, Lord Hai, it's absolutely no problem!" Fang Ming said with a smile.

After such a long time, if he couldn't even train his own subordinates well, Fang Ming felt that he would not be the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and would simply go back to the inner factory to do his own tax service.

Hai Rui nodded: "That's very good, let's start tomorrow!" ”

"Xiaguan has been waiting for this day for a long time!" Fang Ming said with a laugh.

Watching Fang Ming leave with a big laugh, Xu Wenchang glanced at Hai Rui: "Do you just let him do it according to his temperament?" Nothing will happen, right? If things get bigger, I'm afraid there will be trouble! ”

After taking a sip of tea, Hai Rui said with a sigh: "This tea given by His Majesty is good." ”

"Big trouble? I'm still worried that it's not going to make a big fuss, so let's make trouble! I heard that there are people dying every day in the cement factory, and the slaves can't keep up, so it's good to send some prisoners over. ”
