As Xiao Xuan expected: in the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion, there was a bigger problem than the Shenshu Battalion without the imperial power pressing the formation. When Xiao Xuan arrived, the hundreds of people led by Pang Tianshou were confronting the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who were gathering more and more people.

But fortunately, when Xiao Xuan brought a seal that was enough to prove the imperial power, it solved the problem with less time and cost than spending time and money in the Shenshu camp. There are also significantly more qualified armor and firearms drawn from the Shenji Battalion. After all, at this time, the entire Beijing army was still maintaining a training team, and in terms of the selection and appointment of officers and generals, the Shenji Battalion was a little bit like it. This also made Xiao Xuan's heart relax, thinking that even if Wang Chengen encountered problems in the Fifth Military Camp, he could solve them after he arrived.

But he didn't expect it: when Xiao Xuan led the team to the Fifth Army Camp in the early hours of the morning, the conflict between the two sides had already broken out. When Wang Chengen led the hundreds of "elites" of the imperial horse supervisors could not do "more with less" or "with one enemy ten" against those people in the five military camps, but were chased by the cavalry and horse team, when they were close to the five military camps three or four miles away, Wang Chengen and several cronies around him saw Xiao Xuan leading hundreds of teams to rush over, so they hurriedly intercepted and warned: "The saint must not go to the five military camps, depending on the meaning of the leader there, it is very likely that he has already planned to disobey the holy decree with an iron heart!" Even if the saint goes up and then takes out the seal, it is very likely that those people will deliberately say that it is fake! ”

Xiao Xuan didn't hesitate too much, he didn't want to learn from some great god novels instead of the heroes who had the plot aura in the street fighting novels, this kind of thing was obviously rather credible than not. If those people in the Fifth Military Camp had already colluded with some forces in the capital, and they were willing to cut themselves and dare to pull the emperor off the horse, these mediocre people under their own hands would not have the ability to create miracles with fewer enemies and more people.

"Did they chase after them?" Xiao Xuan asked at this time.

"It's not dawn yet! The people of the five military camps don't seem to be too far away from the big camp... Wang Chengen replied.

"Hurry up and gather the troops, the Ministry of Engineering, the factories of the Ministry of War, and the Anmin Factory, gather craftsmen, and related tools, as well as materials that can work for at least a month, stoves and ammunition can be left alone... The so-called Anmin Factory is a new factory established by the imperial court after the explosion of Wang Gongchang more than a year ago.

"At least twenty or thirty thousand craftsmen have all been summoned?" Although Wang Chengen does not hold important positions, he has also heard a little about these relevant key departments in Beijing. The scale of military-related craftsmen in shifts and even in residence is not small, and because many workers have limited monthly silver, their empty pay is not as much as that of the Beijing army. In other words, making money in the field of ordnance industry is not the only way to pay per capitation.

This still really made Xiao Xuan a little embarrassed, the Imperial Horse Supervisor actually did not have the conditions to accommodate tens of thousands of craftsmen, and if that happened, it would definitely have an impact on the training of the new battalion and even the space for arming.

"As long as you are over fifty years old, you can have calluses on your hands or are still working, or the lowest level of leaders, and besides, if you have a son who belongs to a direct relative, you can also come with you.

In fact, Xiao Xuan has made some inquiries these days, and as expected, the situation of these government-run workshops is similar to what he imagined. Just like in the Republic of China era or in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, if a person is only twenty or thirty years old, it is impossible to have much technology. There was only one exception: he was the son of a famous craftsman. Under the influence of the phenomenon of seniority, the "young senior workers" trained in professional technician and technician schools that only appeared in China in the 21st century were quite rare products in the old days. If you don't stay up to a certain age until the master can't do it, and you're not your own son, you usually can't learn any craft.

What made Xiao Xuan finally happy was that there were not thousands of reliable heavy soldiers guarding Anmin Factory and some other important places, only limited armaments such as ordinary city fox society rats or Haoqiang family ding, and there was no absolute military superiority and military superiority in front of the hundreds of people selected by the new battalion and the imperial horse supervisor, and under the showdown of the imperial power identity and various proof things, the leaders of most places still started the "big move" to the imperial horse supervision school field according to Xiao Xuan's requirements.

It's just that time finally dragged on until the end of the day, when the sun had already risen. Many people in the five military camps, which were not controlled, also moved quickly after dawn. It's just that when they saw that the things that the troops plundered and carried at night were not transported outside the city, but really transported to the imperial horse prison where the young new emperor who had just settled the eunuchs in the palace was located, many officers in the five military camps felt chills in their backs.

"This... How good is this ... An officer of the Fifth Military Battalion also panicked at this time, pinning all his hopes on Wei Yingjia, the left attendant of the military department, who was the image of a "good old man of the Qing officials".

In addition to the imperial power, the original officials in charge of the theoretical military power were Cui Chengxiu, the temporary secretary of the military department, and Wei Yingjia and Yuan Keli, the left and right attendants. Cui Chengxiu was directly abolished in Xiao Xuan's "Liu Zongmin-style torture". After the Battle of Jinzhou in the summer of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Yuan Keli had already rushed to the Nanjing Military Department to take up his post, and there was actually only one Wei Yingjia in charge of military affairs in the capital.

Contrary to the imagination of many people, this kind of appointment in a key department is generally a "security person" selected by various factions, and the so-called "security person" is an official who is more honest than others and has fewer handles, and is more like a gentleman who is a scholar, and has a more sensible attitude to protect himself. Although officialdom began to corrupt during the Jiajing period, until this time, it was not impossible to select such figures in the bureaucracy. After all, in the agricultural society, there are still some Qingshui yamen in the late dynasties, and there may not be much benefit to be fished.

At this time, Wei Yingjia's heart was also full of contradictions, and he didn't know whether he should eliminate the tyrant or be loyal at this time. After a whole night, plus some conditions seen at dawn, the image of the new emperor who did not play cards according to common sense at all and did not pay attention to the rules was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The purpose of the new emperor is not stupid, and Wei Yingjia is also clear in his heart: he wants to personally control a violent resource that can overwhelm the court and is not bound by the bureaucracy at all. It can be said that such a strong king of the entire Ming Dynasty has never been since Yongle, even when it was Ming Wuzong, let alone since Jiajing. Normal emperors operate the power of the entire central dynasty in the deep palace above the court and in accordance with the accustomed routines, and they have never heard of jumping out of the palace gate to become a general in person. Since ancient times, there have been emperors who have personally served as generals, however, such an emperor is definitely not tolerated by many people in the court and even in the countryside at this time.

"You don't have to worry about this! You are doing what you should do. Yasheng has a saying: The people are your society, and the king is light. The king's chaotic fate should not be suffered, but what happened last night must be considered in the long run... When he said this, Wei Yingjia already had a choice in his heart: this new emperor of Chongzhen, who was even more terrible than the eunuchs, either chose to return to the palace and hand over the camp to others, leaving the safety to everyone. Or, you can only choose another meritocracy, and force it to abdicate by extraordinary means... ”
