Section 14 Court Rebellion

The arrival of Fang Zhenghua gave the crown prince Zhu Cihong enough manpower to arrest those military generals and nobles who ate soldiers and drank soldiers' blood, embezzled and accepted bribes according to the loopholes shown in the Beijing camp roster.

In terms of the empty treasury where the rats in the imperial court had to cry when they entered, copying a few noble family properties was enough for Emperor Chongzhen to use for disaster relief, and it was enough for a few provinces in the Ming Dynasty to have a few fewer displaced people.

As for whether the prince will cause a strong backlash from the ministers of the court and the Ming gentry, with the endorsement of the ancestor, Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen said that this pressure is not a problem at all!

All of a sudden, the whole capital horseshoe stepped on the street, the wind was loud, Jinyiwei and Dongchang were like a hornet's nest that exploded, and a team scattered to all parts of the capital.

The important ministers and nobles of the Ming Dynasty who were still fighting with the emperor in the court did not know about the riots outside the court, and they were still in the court, fighting with Chongzhen for their own interests and the interests of the gentry.

It wasn't until the court dispersed that the important ministers of the court, led by the first assistant Zhou Yanru, saw the servants who came to report anxiously outside the palace, and they understood the riots in the capital.

The important ministers of the court were immediately furious, feeling that they had been tricked by the emperor. Just now in the court, a group of important ministers of the court subdued the emperor and made the emperor withdraw the queen's plan to leave the palace to appease the displaced people, but he didn't expect the prince to make such a big move outside the palace.

The important ministers of the court, who felt deceived, hugged the first assistant Zhou Yanru and the national abbot Zhou Kui, turned around and returned to the court. It's just that Chongzhen has already returned to the harem, and as a last resort, the important ministers of the court have to wait anxiously while letting the palace stay to tell the emperor.

……

At this time, the temporary tents set up by the selected 800 young men and women in the third battalion of the Beijing Division were crowded with the generals and noble businessmen of the Beijing camp who were usually high-spirited. i

At the same time, the silver, grain, and wealth that were raided by Jinyiwei and Dongchang were also escorted into the Beijing camp station one by one. In just three days, the amount of silver obtained from the house alone was as high as five million taels.

Not to mention others such as 30,000 taels of gold and 20 million stones of grain. As well as a large number of antiques, land deeds and a large amount of manpower. The gold, silver and grain alone greatly alleviated the financial predicament of the Ming court.

When Jinyiwei and Dongchang raided their homes and arrested the nobles and wealthy merchants, all the 30,000 young men and women who were newly recruited were also in place, and they were carrying out simple training under the leadership of several re-promoted generals, guerrillas, and thousands of households.

For formal training, it was necessary to wait for Qin Liangyu, Ma Xianglin, Zhou Yuji, Cao Bianjiao and other general soldiers who received the imperial court's order to come to the capital and accept the indoctrination of new war tactics before they could train these 30,000 young men into a hundred battle heroes.

As the rectification of the third battalion of the Beijing Division is nearing the end, the swords and swords in the court are becoming more and more intense. This time, the prince's actions were too big, and a large number of the original generals of the third battalion of the Beijing Division, the nobles, and the gentry and wealthy merchants were arrested and imprisoned, and even the housekeeper on the mansion of the national abbot Zhou Kui was also imprisoned in the Beijing camp.

This caused panic among the ministers of the court, after all, few of these important ministers of the court were clean and innocent officials. And the relationships in the capital are intricate, all of them are inextricably linked, and if one is not careful, he may be involved.

Therefore, these days, political enemies who were originally hostile or indifferent to each other have united and rallied tightly around Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, and Zhou Kui, the national abbot, to resolutely resist the expansion of the prince's rectification work.

Moreover, outside the court, the Donglin Party organized the scholars of the two Beijing Guozijian and wrote a book of 10,000 words with enthusiasm, complaining bitterly about the actions of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, which shook the national capital of the Ming Dynasty and did not have the demeanor that the prince should have.

Although these Donglin Party members did not explicitly change their reserves, the meaning of them is unmistakable. The Donglin Party showed the pride of resisting taxes that year, and vowed to force the emperor to bow his head.

It's just that this time the emperor has backup, but it is not like Wanli and Tianqi back then, and he can only rely on the ministers of the court and the central government to handle state affairs well.

What's more, this time Chongzhen has already seen through these Donglin Party members, if it weren't for the prince's new army just formed, if it weren't for the ancestor's reluctance to kill, Emperor Chongzhen would have been eager to purge the Chaogang and punish the nine clans.

In the court in the past few days, the civil ministers headed by the first assistant Zhou Yanru, and the martial artists led by Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo. For the prison raid of Li Guozhen, the commander of the third battalion of the Beijing Division, the imprisonment of dozens of military generals and Wenchen in Beijing, and the imprisonment of dozens of wealthy businessmen in Beijing were raided, and a fierce confrontation and struggle was launched with Chongzhen on the emperor's throne.

Even the royal historians who heard about the incident were killed, injured and injured two and three were injured and five went into the wilderness, which can be described as extremely intense. It's a pity that it still failed to suppress the imperial power.

The only thing that can be called a victory is that Chongzhen promised that the rectification of the third battalion of the Beijing Division would end here and would not be implicated any longer. It's just that the great eunuch Wang Chengen went out of the palace and reorganized the Beijing master and craftsman as a camp and the war bureau.

Huangzhuang outside the capital, these days in the fierce confrontation between the imperial power and the vassals, quietly established the Daming Royal Iron and Steel Plant, the Daming Royal Cement Factory, and the Daming Royal Agricultural Institute.

At the same time, in the palace, the Daming Royal Research Institute and the Daming Ordnance Bureau were also quietly established. At the same time, the Daming Royal Military Academy and the Daming Royal Political Academy were established.

While helping the prince to rectify the third battalion of the Beijing Division, Zhu Yunwen, as the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, also assisted Wang Chengen in rectifying the military war bureau and the craftsman battalion, and selected dozens of loyal and honest craftsmen as the seeds of new technology, transmitted their divine consciousness, and brought them into the cave dzi to learn more advanced science and technology.

As for whether this will affect the course of history and the process of scientific and technological development, Zhu Yunwen said that he does not care. As long as the Ming Dynasty can continue, as long as the Han family can inherit the clothes, the backbone of the Han civilization and the Han people can continue, and they can still be proud of the top of the world, the leapfrog scientific and technological development is nothing. If he could, Zhu Yunwen was even willing to cut off the signs of scientific and technological development in the whole world, and then bring the whole world into the world of Xianxia civilization!

During the chaotic time in the capital, in the capital hall from Shanxi Jin merchants, the shopkeepers of the shops in the capital gathered together, and even Fan Yongdou, the head of the Fan family of Shanyoujie, personally rushed to the capital to preside over the overall situation. The chaos in the capital has caused them to suffer huge losses. The crown prince Zhu Cihong's rectification work of the third battalion of the Beijing Division, and the wealthy merchants who were implicated in prison and raided their homes, most of them were the semicolons of the Jin merchants.

Although the loss this time was a bit big, it also made these Jin merchants see the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. The confrontation between the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the ministers, the confrontation between the prince of the Ming Dynasty and the gentry class, and the chaos of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. All this is definitely great news for the Jianzhou Manchu Qing outside the Guan. Perhaps, Huang Taiji, who got this good news, will have the intention of sending troops into the customs to intimidate the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

In that case, the loss will be recouped very quickly. You must know that every time the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Jianzhou sent troops into the customs, the grain, grass, weapons, iron, and intelligence needed were all provided by the eight families of Shanyou. And every time the Manchu Qing Dynasty in Jianzhou looted the proceeds, they were also handed over to the eight families of Shanyou to sell the stolen goods in the customs. Every time, the Jianzhou Manchu Qing and Shanyouba families made a lot of money, and the only one who suffered losses was the Ming court and the Ming people.
