739 Zhu Yijun is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all
Letting Xiao Ruxun become the governor of Jingying Rongzheng is definitely a great thing for Zhu Yijun.
First, Xiao Ruxun is Zhu Yijun's absolute confidant, and he can definitely be trusted, if he masters the military power of the Beijing Division, which is absolutely important to the Ming Dynasty, it will be enough to exert the power to influence the court situation, and then become the source of his power to speak in the court.
Zhang Weixian and Xu Wenbi, the descendants of the nobles who have long been raised as pigs, are not enough to make big things at all, Zhu Yijun treats them well, of course, he wants to use their strength to maintain his power, but soon Zhu Yijun sadly found that the nobles of the entire Beijing City have been raised as qualified pigs, and it is really useless.
The few who can still stand up and speak are all vassals of civil officials, and all they think about is making money and spending money, and they have no family and country at all, and discussing major matters with them is tantamount to suicide.
Only then did Zhu Yijun understand what kind of environment Emperor Zhengde and his grandfather Jiajing were struggling to maintain power, and realized the importance of military power to the emperor of a centralized country, but no matter how he struggled, he could not directly control a team of men and horses beyond the military department, and even the palace guards could not directly control it.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang, which used to be able to deter civil officials, entered a low period in the Jiajing era, and the Dongchang and Xichang factories, which were once able to compete with civil officials in the Chenghua period and the Zhengde period, only Dongchang can still exist, as the emperor's last psychological safety barrier.
But now, Jinyiwei and Dongchang have colluded with civil officials to varying degrees, and the last security barrier in Zhu Yijun's heart has also collapsed, and a strong sense of crisis prompted him to ask for help.
The emergence of this life-saving straw made Zhu Yijun see a ray of light, under careful thinking and deployment, Zhu Yijun decided to slowly unfold his plan to seize power, but a very important point to realize this plan is the army, only the army can support its ambitions.
Zhu Yijun deeply understands the importance of the army, but in this period when only eunuchs can barely trust, he has no military force that can be directly mobilized.
There will be no more than 10,000 people brought back by Xiao Ruxun who can participate in the prisoner sacrifice ceremony, and the dead soldiers he asked Zhang Cheng to raise and train in many ways are only 3,000, and the training time is not enough, so it cannot be regarded as a strong combat strength at all, and it is Xiao Ruxun's army that can really be relied on.
This is too small compared to the hundreds of thousands of troops around the Jingshi, if you can't kill with one blow, your position will not be guaranteed, and Zhu Yijun has not yet had the courage to take the throne to make a big gamble.
At this time, Shen's consistent "reciprocating the peach" made him see another possibility.
The Jingshi of a centralized state is the absolute heart of the country, and whoever holds the heart of the country will be able to control the power of a centralized state.
Especially in this era when the spread of information is extremely slow and there is a lack of means, by the time the foreign troops know the news of the coup d'état in Beijing, the coup has ended, the overall situation has been decided, and they can no longer do anything.
Therefore, the decisive role in the coup d'état was the nearest army, the Beijing camp, which had the right to garrison the Beijing Division, and the royal guards in the palace, in a sense, the role of the royal guards was greater than that of the Beijing camp, and a few thousand people were enough to determine the ownership of the highest power in the country.
There is no doubt that the current Beijing camp is in the hands of the civil official group and their vassal nobles, that is, the hands of Zhang Weixian, Zhang Weixian and other top nobles of the Ming Dynasty have been operating in the Beijing camp for more than 100 years, and they have long been deeply rooted, and they have already turned Beijing into their own back garden.
Since Tumubao, Jingying only regained a little time in the early days of Zhengde Jiajing and Wanli, and then became a veteran soldier with no combat effectiveness, just like the Northern Song Dynasty Forbidden Army.
It is no exaggeration to say that the current Beijing camp is elite, but it is all a private armed group belonging to Zhang Weixian, Xu Wenbi and other top nobles, protecting their own safety, there are not many people, well-equipped, and good treatment.
As the main force, the other Beijing battalion soldiers are no different from miscellaneous soldiers, and they guard the city gate and pretend to bully and bully the past merchants and ordinary people, and they really want to pull out to fight, just like Li Chengliang before, his reputation was ruined, and now he doesn't even live in the capital, and he goes back to Liaodong to retire.
The soldiers of the Beijing camp are not only seriously undernumbered, but also strange in equipment, their ability to use agricultural tools is far higher than the ability to use weapons, and the army at the feet of the Son of Heaven has become vulnerable because of the excellent tradition of darkness under the lamp, which is really a wonder in the world.
Zhu Yijun doesn't know all this, he vaguely knows something, but he doesn't know it completely, there is no specific data to get his hands on, and he doesn't dare to believe it, especially after Luo Sigong is no longer trusted by him, he doesn't trust the information he has in hand even more.
Now, his understanding of Jingying can be described as blind in two eyes.
And if Xiao Ruxun can replace Zhang Weixian in charge of the Beijing camp, then everything will be logical, and he can quickly know what the Beijing camp has become by these bastards, and what strange things the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, which were so strong at the beginning, have become now.
What is more important is to directly grasp the military power of the Beijing Division, and from then on have the confidence to speak.
Shen has always said it beautifully.
It seems that he is thinking about the emperor and wants to cooperate with the emperor.
But Zhu Yijun is not a fuel-efficient lamp after all, how difficult it is to eat it in his mouth and then spit it out, he will not be unclear about this.
Therefore, after reading Shen's recital, Zhu Yijun has lost the excitement he had at the beginning.
"Elder Shen Ge, what you said is indeed very good, but it is the norm and the rules for the Beijing camp to be handed over to the commander of the Xungui, Zhang Weixian has never committed any crimes, and it is also the rules to serve as the governor of the Chinese military and the governor of the capital of the Jingying, and he has not made a mistake, so what reason should he use to take him down?"
Shen has always thought of this for a long time.
"Back to Your Majesty, whether the British Duke has made a mistake or not, this is not the most important thing, just transfer the position, transfer a more noble position to him, let him be promoted, and leave this position vacated to Qin Guogong, in the eyes of the old minister, Qin Guogong is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate.
In the previous Bauhinia Pass war, the performance of the Beijing camp was not good, it was time to rectify, the ability of the Qin State Gong to unify the army training was famous in the Ming Dynasty, and the Beijing camp rectification was handed over to the Qin State Gong, which was very suitable. ”
Zhu Yijun put the recital table on his table, walked back to his throne and sat down.
"Of course, I know that Xiao Qing is the best candidate, but it has been a tradition for more than a hundred years for the nobles of the capital to master the Beijing camp, will the benefits in hand be honestly handed over to Xiao Qing, who was born in the Northwest Jiangmen?
Xiao Qing is not their own person and is not trusted, and Zhang Weixian has not made a mistake, so what reason should I use to transfer his position openly? If there is no reason, will Xungui be dissatisfied with me because of this, and embarrass Xiao Qing? ”
Zhu Yijun stared at Shen Yi and asked his own question.
