Although there was a lot of opposition, the cabinet and the six ministries were temporarily stable, and it was the imperial envoys and the like who made a fuss. With Zhang Juzheng in charge, he can't make any big waves, and Zhu Yijun doesn't bother to care about these things.

In the palace, Zhu Yijun is seeing another person, an old man.

Although he is not young and his hair is gray, the old man is still very powerful sitting there. Sitting in a precarious position, quite a general's demeanor, this person is none other than Yu Dayou, who has been officially idle in the capital for several years.

Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Dayou and nodded with satisfaction, after several years of recuperation, Yu Dayou's body has improved a lot.

Compared with when he first arrived in the capital, this body is much better, and Zhu Yijun is still very satisfied with the progress of Li Shizhen's side. The medical side is already very sound, and although no new research has been started yet, the big framework has been built.

Zhu Yijun is ready to promote debridement after a period of time, and it is difficult to reduce combat attrition in these years.

Alcohol or something, you have to go to it, how can you build a new army without training medical soldiers. It's been five years since he crossed over, and Zhu Yijun is ready to stretch out his hand to the military power, of course, not the kind of comprehensive, but to start with the forbidden army under the control of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

In the general understanding of the Ming Dynasty, the celebrant examines and approves the cabinet votes on behalf of the emperor, and the cabinet is confidential, which is actually the "internal minister".

The Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Ministry of War and the Governor jointly hold the military handle, which is actually the "cardinal house" of the inner court. In fact, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also had to manage the pasture and the imperial village, operate the imperial store, and manage the finances with the households, and was the "internal steward" of the Ming court.

The West Factory, which was set up twice, was also supervised by the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the East Factory of the Celebrant Inspector.

It's just that there is no West Factory now, and the authority of the Imperial Horse Supervisor has dropped very much.

Since the Imperial Horse Supervisor is in charge of the Imperial Horse, there are naturally horse breeders and horse trainers, which gives rise to a forbidden army led by the Imperial Horse Supervisor - Tengxiang Four Guards and Four Guards, and Warrior Battalion. The original source of this forbidden army was the elite men selected from various local guards, as well as young men who had fled from the Mongolian region.

This forbidden army does not belong to the upper twelve guards (later the twenty-two guards) under the jurisdiction of the pro-army command envoy, but its status is obviously higher than that of the upper twelve guards, and it is the ban among the forbidden soldiers.

In the sixth year of Xuande, there were 3,100 forbidden soldiers, and they were given a regular name: "Yulin 3,000 Households".

Two years later, on this basis, the guards and horses of the Beijing Army and the former Shenwu avant-garde officers and soldiers were enriched, and they were organized into Tengxiang Left and Right Guards, and Wuxiang Left and Right Guards, collectively referred to as the "Four Guards", also known as the "Four Guards".

According to the establishment at that time, 5,600 people were one guard, and the fourth guard army should have more than 20,000 sergeants.

During the Jingtai and Chenghua periods, the three major battalions of the Beijing Army were reorganized into regimental battalions. The warriors and strong banner troops of the Tengxiang Four Guards were transferred, and the warrior battalion and the Four Guards Battalion were also formed, and the battalion officers were selected from among the four guard commanders.

The two battalions numbered more than 40,000 people when they were in Hongzhi and Zhengde, and after many rectifications, the quota was more than 6,500 people. Although the establishment has changed frequently, it has always been under the leadership of the Imperial Horse Warden.

What Zhu Yijun wants to reach out to is this forbidden army, first, this army is led by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and he is the emperor to start. Second, this army is the Great Inner Forbidden Army, which is the closest army to the emperor.

If this army is very strong, at least it can ensure that the ground in the capital is not chaotic.

With this army, he can stretch out his hand to the three major battalions, and the current three battalions are basically not counted on, and they want to mold the three major battalions, eliminate the old and weak, empty their salaries, and do not hold a strong army in their hands, and they have no confidence in their hearts.

The three major battalions were outstanding in that year, and Zhu Di's expedition to Mongolia by Ming Chengzu relied on the three major battalions, among which the Shenji Battalion was even more prestigious.

Zhu Yijun wants to start with the four guards, the first thing to do is naturally to choose generals, there are still many famous generals at this time, and there are also many civil officials who can fight, Qi Jiguang is one of the best. But they are all very popular, and only Yu Dayou is the most suitable.

Now Yu Dayou has been idle by himself for a few years, and it is most suitable to take it out and put it in the fourth bathroom.

But there is one thing in this, Zhu Yijun needs to discuss with Yu Dayou.

"Yu Aiqing, I have something I want to discuss with you." Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Dayou and said with a smile.

Because of his respect for Yu Dayou, and the fact that this time the matter is indeed a bit tricky, Zhu Yijun spoke very politely. A veteran like Yu Dayou is a baby, and Zhu Yijun is a baby.

Yu Dayou was stunned, he had been in the capital for several years, and there were not many opportunities to see the emperor. I also asked to leave Beijing several times, but all of them were rejected by the emperor, what do you want to say now?

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Yu Dayou hurriedly said.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "A few days ago, Zhang Cheng of the Imperial Horse Supervisor and I talked about the four guards, saying that the four guards were negligent in training, and some of them were not successful, and I wanted me to find a respected old general to train well." ”

"I thought of the old general, with the prestige and ability of the old general, it is naturally no problem to train the four guards."

Yu Dayou was stunned for a moment, let himself go to the fourth guard? There's something wrong with that, right? After all, it is a forbidden army, and it has always been led by the eunuchs in the palace, and I am afraid that it will be a lot of trouble to go by myself. Yu Dayou was a little puzzled, how could the emperor remember to let him go to the forbidden army?

"Yu Aiqing, the four guards are forbidden troops, and they have the responsibility of guarding the palace, if they are unbearable, I am uneasy! I have thought about it for a long time, but Yu Aiqing is the most suitable. After finishing speaking, Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Dayou.

was about to say something, but Zhu Yijun still didn't speak, he was really embarrassed.

Zhu Yijun wanted Yu Dayou to take over the four guards, but he still used the old method and let Zhang Whale do it, but he went to Zhang Juzheng to minimize the impact of this matter. The reason has been thought of, that is, the eunuch infighting in the palace.

Zhang Whale wanted to reach out to the Imperial Horse Prison controlled by Zhang Cheng, so he sent his own people over.

Zhang Juzheng is now pushing his clearing field, and he urgently needs Zhang Whale's support, and he will definitely not embarrass Zhang Whale in this matter. in order to support him to settle the accounts of the field, in exchange for Yu Dayou to control the four guards.

No matter how you look at it, Zhang Juzheng has no possibility of refusing.

It's just that since then, Yu Dayou will definitely be labeled as a dependent eunuch, although Yu Dayou is a military general, not as hypocritical as a civil official, but this reputation is not good! Zhu Yijun was really worried that Yu Dayou would not agree, but when it came to the end, Zhu Yijun still didn't think about how to tell Yu Dayou.

Yu Dayou is not stupid, he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he has suffered a lot of losses because of his integrity, Yu Dayou naturally sees Zhu Yijun's hesitation and hesitation.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to smear your Majesty and Daming!" Although Yu Dayou didn't know what Zhu Yijun couldn't say, he didn't care in his heart, he had a loyalty in his heart.

Compared with Daming, Yu Dayou doesn't take his honor and disgrace seriously.
