Chapter 839 Admiral of the Nine Gates
The infantry commander Yamen is Zhu Hongsan's newly formed troops responsible for the defense and security of the capital, and the defense of the capital in the Ming Dynasty was initially responsible for the three major battalions of the capital formed by Zhu Di, namely the five military battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion, but since the change of Yingzong's civil fort, the three battalions have been lost outside the pass. Yu Qian, who was in charge of the guard troops in the capital at that time, in order to deal with the Yexian troops that hit the doorstep, formed a new guard force, called the Twelfth Regiment Battalion.
The 12th Regiment Battalion was not bad at the beginning of its formation, repelled the attack of Yexian, and kept the safety of Beijing City. However, the 12th regiment battalion was unbearable during the Jiajing period, and Emperor Jiajing set up a warrior battalion and a Tengxiang four guard battalion in the inner palace to be responsible for the defense of the palace. As for the outside of Miyagi, the defense was entrusted to the three battalions reorganized from the 12th Regiment.
In the past, the security of Beijing City was under the management of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Shuntianfu Yamen, Jinyiwei set up offices in various neighborhoods, responsible for public security, inspection and other work, and Shuntianfu was mainly responsible for anti-theft, fire prevention, and tax collection at the city gate. After Zhu Hongsan entered the city of Beijing, he found that there were many defenses and public security in the entire capital, the imperial horse prison was under the supervision of the Tai, the three major battalions were under the management of the nobles, and the public security was managed by Jinyiwei and Shuntianfu respectively, so it was not easy to do a lot of things at the yamen.
Therefore, Zhu Hong carried out an overall reform of the defense of the Beijing division in three drastic ways, removing the public security function of the factory guards, which belong to the state dictatorship, and using them to manage public security can only be forcible and plundering. Public security is under the special management of the Shuntianfu, and the Shuntianfu patrol team is set up, which is responsible for the city's night patrol, firefighting, compilation, inspection, protection, ban, arrest, prison breaking, etc.
At the same time, the formation of the infantry army to lead the yamen, responsible for the guard and access control outside the imperial city, that is, outside the imperial city, the defense in the city wall is under the management of the infantry army to lead the yamen, and because there are nine gates in the inner city of Beijing, namely Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, so the infantry army commander Yamen is called the Nine Gate Admiral by the people of the capital.
The commander of the infantry army commander Yamen is Zheng Erpin, and the division commander in the new army and the chief soldier in the old army are at the same level. Ma Rufeng was the division commander in the new army back then, and his transfer here was also a flat transfer.
Ma Rufeng is not the earliest general who followed Zhu Hongsan, but Ma Rufeng fought with Ma Kun in Huguang all the year round with the Qing army, and Ma Rufeng is Ma Kun's deputy, and now Ma Kun is the ninth duke and general of the founding of the country, and some of the regiment commanders who followed Ma Rufeng were already division commanders, and the titles were also marquis and earls.
It's not that Ma Rufeng has made any mistakes, but that the emperor wants to suppress the Qin Dynasty, of course, it is impossible for Ma Rufeng to have no grievances, he is much more wronged than Jiang Peng, who was named an earl, after all, Ma Rufeng has not made a mistake for so many years. However, Jiang Pengju can go to make trouble, but Ma Rufeng doesn't dare to go to the emperor to make trouble, it's very simple, you Ma Rufeng already has the two titles of Duke of Ma Mingyuan and Earl of Ma Shaoguang in his family, and Ma Rufeng, who has no choice but to be a concubine, has to go to the back.
Now that the war in the whole country has stopped, there are not so many things to do in the defense of the capital, so today Ma Rufeng is sitting idle in the yamen, and as for the deputy Jiang Pengju, he is even absent from work for no reason, and he did not come at all today.
Ma Rufeng received a report from the guards at the door in the lobby that the King of Qin was coming. Ma Rufeng was stunned when he heard this, King Qin used to be cautious, for fear of being caught, why did he come to him with such fanfare today?
Although Ma Rufeng is the uncle of King Qin, the court law is here, and you are not from a Jinshi, so Ma Rufeng hurriedly walked out of the lobby to greet King Qin.
Before Ma Rufeng arrived at the door, he saw that the tall Zhu Jiang had already walked in, Zhu Jiang was in a good mood today, and said with a smile as he walked: "Uncle, this is the first time this king has come to you, and the Admiral of the Nine Gates is really magnificent!" ”
Although Ma Rufeng is Zhu Jiang's uncle, he also has to abide by the court etiquette, and when he saw his nephew coming, Ma Rufeng quickly knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general, Ma Rufeng, meets His Royal Highness the King of Qin!" ”
Zhu Jiang didn't wait for Ma Rufeng to kneel down, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said, "Uncle, you are the uncle of this prince, and you are not an outsider, what are you doing with this?" ”
The infantry commander Yamen has a lot of people here, and there are forces from all sides, and Ma Rufeng is afraid that he will be sued by others for not respecting the etiquette law.
"Your Highness, it's better to follow the laws of the imperial court!"
Zhu Jiang knew what Ma Rufeng was afraid of, looked around and scolded: "There is that blindless bastard who dares to make a small report, don't blame this king for being ruthless and burning your house at night!" ”
The officers and officers in the yamen all knew that the emperor loved this king of Qin very much, and the king of Qin had killed people, and I heard that it was this lord who set fire to more than 100,000 Edo residents in Japan, so it was better not to offend this kind of ruthless person! So the officers in the lobby laughed and said, "That's okay, we are all soldiers under the commander, so what kind of dirty things can we do?" ”
Zhu Jiang glared and looked around, then took out Zhu Hongsan's holy decree from his arms, and the officer in the hall saw the holy decree and quickly knelt down. Zhu Jiang opened the holy decree and read it aloud: "Order Zhu Jiang, the second son of the emperor, to serve as the minister of the guard and assist in the defense of the nine gates!" Chin this! ”
As soon as the holy decree was issued, Zhu Jiang became the superior leader of the infantry army commander Yamen, and the officers in the hall quickly stood up and congratulated and patted their ass.
Ma Rufeng saw that Zhu Jiang had become an assistant manager, so he quickly stood up and said: "Someone, go and notify the deputy commander, the left and right general soldiers, the deputy general of the Nine Gates, and the twelve staff generals to come and meet the new Minister of the Guard!" ”
Under the command of the infantry army, there is a deputy commander, one person on the left and one on the right wing, and the commander of the infantry army works in the same hall as the commander of the infantry army, the deputy general of the nine gates is responsible for the defense of the nine gates of the inner city, and the twelve staff generals are responsible for the defense of the outer city. Of course, in terms of combat effectiveness, although there are only 30,000 Janissaries in the imperial city, they are all elite soldiers in the new army, and they are completely capable of beating the Yamen, the commander of the infantry army.
Ma Rufeng asked his subordinates to prepare for the new leadership ceremony, and pulled Zhu Jiang into his lounge in the back hall, today's incident was really unexpected by Ma Rufeng, so he wanted to ask for details.
"Your Highness, what is going on today? Why didn't I get a message from the Military Aircraft Division? ”
Zhu Jiang saw that Ma Rufeng was nervous like this, not only did he secretly laugh in his heart that his uncle was too careful.
"Uncle, don't worry, today's holy decree was personally sent by Li Chengen in the palace, I just received it and came to you, probably the text from the Military Aircraft Department has not yet arrived."
Ma Rufeng also knew Li Chengen and knew that he was a favored eunuch beside the emperor, so he should not be able to play some tricks to falsely transmit the holy decree.
Ma Rufeng was relieved when he heard Zhu Jiang say this, but then the question surfaced again, the emperor did not allow any prince to meddle in specific affairs before, how to let Zhu Jiang assist in the management of the infantry yamen today, this is really unexpected.
"Your Highness, why did His Majesty the Emperor give you this errand without warning?" Now that there were no outsiders in the house, Ma Rufeng hurriedly asked the question in his heart.
"Uncle, I don't know why. I was drinking in the mansion, and Li Chengen came over and said that there was a holy decree given to me by my father. After the incident, I asked Lee Seung-eun why this was? But Li Chengen, the old dog, was very tight-mouthed, and he didn't say anything, just said that his father asked the prince to go back to read the Sui Shu Shizu Benji. Uncle, you know I don't read, how do I know what that means, so come and ask my uncle! ”
Ma Rufeng is stronger than Zhu Jiang, how can he say that his father is also from a Jinshi, but Ma Rufeng's knowledge is limited to understanding what the Sui Shu Shizu Benji is, and he can't understand things that are too esoteric.
Ma Rufeng sighed and said: "Sui Shu Shizu Benji is talking about Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, why did the emperor let the prince read this book?" ”
When Zhu Jiang heard that it was Yang Guang, he asked happily: "Is it that my father hates the crown prince and says that if he becomes the emperor, Yang Guang is alive?" ”
Ma Rufeng thought for a long time and didn't analyze what the reason was, at this time, several generals and deputy generals in the city came, Ma Rufeng had no choice but to say: "Your Highness, let's hold a ceremony first, and then discuss what is going on after the event!" ”
Zhu Jiang had no choice but to follow Ma Rufeng out to accept the welcome of the generals, and when he saw Zhu Jiang coming to assist in the defense of the Nine Gates, Coke broke the deputy commander Jiang Pengju.
Jiang Pengju took leave to rest at home today, and his own soldiers came to report that the commanders had gathered the generals, saying that they were welcoming His Royal Highness the King of Qin.
Jiang Pengju was stunned at first, Ma Rufeng has always been cautious, and he was afraid of hitting his scalp when the leaves fell, why did he welcome King Qin with such fanfare today? Jiang Pengju wanted to ask the pro-soldier who gave the order what was going on, but the pro-soldier level was too low, and he only came to give the order, and he didn't know anything else. Jiang Pengju had no choice but to put on a full set of official uniforms to go to the Yamen of the Infantry Army, Zhu Hongsan ruled the army strictly, although the soldiers of the Infantry Army commanding the Yamen did not have the elite of the new army, but the gathering of generals for no reason was also the end of beheading.
When Jiang Pengju came to Yamen, he learned that the emperor had sent a holy decree and asked Zhu Jiang to assist in the defense of the Nine Gates. Jiang Pengju, who learned the news, was overjoyed, what is his relationship with Zhu Jiang? That's really a teacher and a friend, and now that Zhu Jiang is a superior, a better life has come.
The ceremony was very simple, Zhu Jiang stood in the hall and read the emperor's decree loudly, and then all the generals were led by Ma Rufeng and Jiang Pengju to receive the decree and thank you. Immediately after that, Ma Rufeng ascended to the hall, and the generals stood in the lobby and waited for the chief officer to announce the order.
The holy decree asked Zhu Jiang to assist in the management of the nine gates, not to be in charge of the nine gates, so the infantry army yamen is still Ma Rufeng has the final say, even if Zhu Jiang is princely title, all military orders in the army come first.
Ma Rufeng looked at his subordinates and said: "Today, the King of Qin was ordered to assist in the defense of the Nine Gates, and the commander ordered Zhu Jiang, the King of Qin, to be in charge of the inner city, and the deputy commander Jiang Pengju to be in charge of the outer city, and the others to take their own duties!" ”
Jiang Pengju was overjoyed when he heard Ma Rufeng say this, he used to be in charge of the inner city, although the inner city was many times more prosperous than the outer city, but the inner city had a lot of noble crowns, and Jiang Pengju was an earl, and he really couldn't manage it. It's okay now, Zhu Jiang is the prince, and he is in charge of those nobles in the inner city, see who they dare to make? As for the outer city where Jiang Pengju went, it was a processing center in Beijing, and many workshops, shops, and grain fields were in the outer city, and there was a lot of oil and water in it, so Jiang Pengju was very happy after hearing Ma Rufeng's division of labor.
