Chapter 516: Stereotype

For a long time, this word is a good thing for the common people and merchants, but it is a disaster for the army, without fighting, the army's combat effectiveness will not be tempered, and more importantly, the necessity of their existence will not be revealed.

Because the northern Mongols disappeared without a trace, many people felt that there was no need for even the nine towns of the border army to exist, and they had to be vigorously abolished, and the border army was still like this, not to mention the officers and soldiers of the Beijing Guards and Soldiers and Horses Division of the Beijing Division, although Zhou Lin only controlled two thousand people in his hands, and there were also some servants in the families of the Western Party officials, which together were about three thousand people, but these three thousand people easily controlled the nine gates of the Beijing Division.

Of course, the guards at the gate of the capital have heavy soldiers, but these soldiers are all Zhou Lin's subordinates, and when they take out the arrows and documents, many people don't want to resist, and there is another point, even if they can fight, they are not able to defeat the border troops brought by Zhou Lin in Shaanxi, and the officers and soldiers who defend the city have long had no will to fight, and their sharp spirit has been exhausted in peacetime.

A few lucky people came out of the ministers' mansion over the wall, and went straight to the Imperial Horse Supervisor to prepare for the transfer of troops, and saw that the pedestrians on the streets of the entire capital were in a hurry, and hurriedly walked towards their homes, and the cavalry of the Jingwei was shouting loudly in the city, and no one else could stay on the street, otherwise they would be killed after an hour, who would dare to continue to stay on the street, these few people who went to transfer troops looked particularly abrupt on the street, but fortunately, no one paid attention to them, so they ran over cautiously and anxiously.

Finally arrived at the gate of the camp of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the Imperial Horse Eunuch is the real sense of the Imperial Forest Army, it turned out that only the eunuchs of the inner court have the right to be in charge, in the place near the left of the Forbidden City, there are 3,000 people in the military camp, after the land inspection case, several cabinet scholars jointly played, saying that the eunuchs are in charge of the army is a maladministration, at that time Jiajing also felt that the eunuchs were the source of trouble, and immediately played the quasi-performance, and handed over the management of the Imperial Horse Supervisor to the Ministry of War.

When the army of the Ming Dynasty went out to fight, the supervising army was a eunuch, but the commander-in-chief was a civilian official, which was also a rule, but it was distorted by the Ministry of War This rule was used on the imperial horse supervisor, and the three thousand soldiers and horses of the imperial horse supervisor became the direct leader of the civil official, which was equivalent to putting a sharp blade directly on the emperor's neck, and Emperor Jiajing was trembling, and he had been carefully hiding the thoughts in his heart, until his performance had confused everyone, and this was launched.

The Imperial Horse Eunuch turned out to be one of the few strong armies even under the Great Tomorrow, and the eunuchs also regarded this as their lifeline, taking care of it carefully, and practicing hard every day. It seems that after Emperor Jiajing was intoxicated with Taoism, the civil officials in charge of this imperial horse prison camp were too lazy to pay attention, except for deducting military salaries, they didn't care about other things.

These were originally the battalions of the fierce soldiers who fled from the Mongols, but now they are extremely loose and have no appearance of soldiers at all, and there are even those who work in the workshops of merchants in Beijing to make money, which shows how corrupt they are.

Corruption is corruption, at a critical time, these soldiers still have to be used, there are 3,000 people in the Imperial Horse Prison, and thousands of households are all the cronies of the East Party who were later replaced, as long as the matter is said, these people will take action to control the imperial city, and when the time comes, the Jiajing Emperor will be asked to issue an order to quell the rebellion, regardless of whether the current Jingwei soldiers have the emperor's will or not, it can be said that they intend to rebel and have bad intentions, and when necessary, they can even transfer the soldiers of Xuanhua and Baoda into Beijing,

A few people who came to deliver the message arrived at the destination out of breath, and when they saw the gate of the military camp of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, they were all relaxed in their hearts, and then things took a turn for the better, everyone thought so, at the gate of the Imperial Horse Supervisor's camp, but there was not even a person guarding the door, which shows what the military discipline has become like if it has become corrupt.

The man who reported the news was dressed and was about to go in, when he suddenly heard a tsunami-like voice inside, "Long live." Long live, long live", as soon as this shout came out, several people outside couldn't help but be so frightened that they almost lay on the ground, and there were no soldiers guarding the door, these people touched in.

As soon as you enter the camp, you can see a soil platform not far away, there is a person wearing bright yellow clothes on the earthen platform, and a group of people are standing there, what is even more frightening is that the soldiers are kneeling in the dust, saying long live.

All this in front of me shows the problem, there will be no one else on the stage except the emperor, it is completely impossible to transfer troops, a few people who reported the news are quite prominent on the school field where they all knelt down, but they are far away, everyone is shouting long live, no one notices them, these people hurriedly ran out, these people can't even go back to their own mansions, they can only find some way out by themselves.

In the Forbidden City, or the tallest building in the entire Beijing Division, is a terrace built by Jiajing in order to seek immortals, standing on the terrace, you can basically have a panoramic view of the West City and the South City, on the terrace, there is always a little eunuch there to collect dew.

Jingshi is dry, and it is quite troublesome to collect this dew, so there are always little eunuchs on duty there, but since the day before yesterday, the eyes of the little eunuch on the terrace are not on the copper plate that collects dew, but have been staring at the Jingwei Admiral's Mansion in Xicheng, and the Jingwei Admiral's Mansion does not know when, so it is erected on a flagpole in front of the door, which looks quite conspicuous.

At noon today, a black flag was hung on the flagpole of the Admiral's Palace, and the little eunuch hurriedly ran down, and within a few steps was the emperor's retreat, and ran to the door, and the little eunuch said in a low voice:

"Long live the black flag."

Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting cross-legged in the clean room, stood up all of a sudden, and there were more than a dozen Taoists enshrined in the palace around him, all of whom had entered the palace to preach the scriptures in the past few days, and they all followed, Emperor Jiajing glanced at it, nodded, and said:

"Come with me to the Imperial Horse Prison Camp, your wealth is today."

Those Taoist faces were resolute, but their eyes flashed with a resolute look, nodded, and took off their robes one after another, but the robes were all the clothes of the palace guards, and on the table dedicated to Sanqing, there were more than a dozen peach wood swords for ritual purposes, and these Taoist priests came to the front and picked up the peach wood swords.

The sword body collided but made a metallic sound, this is simply a sharp blade, but when these Taoist priests entered the palace, no one had ever checked them, they were already tired, obviously they had been prepared, and the sturdy eunuchs in the palace were also gathered with honor guards or something, waiting outside the door.

Emperor Jiajing walked to the door, looking at the soldiers around him who were dressed as Taoist priests, those eunuchs who looked a little flustered and were still with him, but there was an inexplicable sadness in their hearts.

When Zhu Di reused the eunuchs, his subordinates said that they were reusing eunuchs, and the disaster of the Han and Tang Dynasties was a lesson from the past, Zhu Di replied simply and neatly, the eunuchs had no roots and no faction, they could only rely on the power of the Son of Heaven, and the most loyal to me were these people, their glory and wealth were in my hands, and they were afraid of any disaster.

These words, Emperor Jiajing was still quite slanderous when he dedicated the palace, look at the disaster of Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, this is the fate of believing in eunuchs. But today, Emperor Jiajing found that what he could rely on was these eunuchs, since the civil officials controlled the power of the world, the power of the eunuchs was already small, but these people were still loyal to the emperor.

In fact, when the officers and soldiers of the Jingwei began to act, they had already found out, on weekdays, the civil official who commanded the military camp of the Imperial Horse Supervisor thought that the dust here was too big, and they were all rude warriors, and they came every day to sit in the middle hall, and Tang Muri was even more reluctant to come, so he went directly to have fun. Without the constraints of the upper peak, the people below are also wandering in the capital.

Seeing the officers and soldiers of Jingwei on the street, a few vigilant farts ran back to report the news, and several thousands of households in the barracks immediately bombed the barracks, and they were all officers who were arranged by the civilian officials, so they naturally knew what the consequences would be if the civilian officials outside fell.

Several people discussed with each other, and finally decided to gather the troops first, and send a team to ask Lord Gu of the military department, if there were any problems, it would be too late to act. But these soldiers had already dispersed, and it took more than an hour to gather this kind of thing, and they all finally gathered, and the officers had not yet made a sound to make arrangements, but they saw that the back of the team was in chaos again.

Qianhu, who was the leader, was suddenly furious, and was about to arrange for his own soldiers to go over to suppress it, but at this time, he heard the shouts of Banzai in the chaotic place, and he was immediately startled.

These soldiers don't know that it is now the civilian officials who control the government, and the emperor is still the supreme existence for them, seeing the Son of Heaven wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and wearing a full guard of honor appear behind him, everyone's first reaction is to kneel down, saying long live.

More than 3,000 soldiers parted to both sides like the tide receded, and Emperor Jiajing walked proudly in front of those officers, and several Qianhu and Baihu who were standing there were stunned until the eunuch beside the emperor shouted angrily:

"The Son of Heaven is coming, why don't you kneel!"

This is the only way to wake up, kneeling down dejectedly, Jiajing knows that from now on, the situation in Jingshi is decided.
