Section 11 Leaving the Palace
Speaking of this, Zhu Yunwen turned back to Chongzhen and said: "Emperor, I will take the prince to the Beijing camp later, it is estimated that the current third battalion of the Beijing division has long been rotten, and if the soldiers who can fight can gather five thousand, thank God." In my opinion, you should also rectify Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the palace, and transfer 5,000 people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang to form a new army teaching group.
After all, Jinyiwei and Dongchang are both royal trusted. At that time, I will take these 5,000 men and horses into the cave world for training, learn new and advanced tactics, and use new thermal weapons. Let the princess lead the army in it first. At the same time, the prince reorganized the three battalions of the Beijing Division outside and reorganized the 30,000 new army. After the 5,000 men and horses led by the princess were trained, the 5,000 men and horses were added to the 30,000 new army, and part of the teaching group was left to form a new army.
The new army that has been trained will go to Jiubian, well, go to Datong first, and exterminate the eight traitor merchants who betrayed their ancestors, and it is estimated that they can copy out tens of millions of taels of silver, and then use this silver to enrich the treasury that is enough to run horses, on the one hand, for the construction of the new army, on the other hand, for the relief of the victims, and at the same time, a small amount of funds can be used for the establishment of the royal factory.
Moreover, defeating these traitors can also make Jiannu's intelligence about the customs less clear than before. In addition, the queen also needs to work hard these days, rectify the palace maids in the palace, and transfer some young palace maids to form a women's army. In the future, it will be a world of hot weapons, and women can also use these weapons.
Even if these female soldiers are not needed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, it is more than enough to guard the safety of the palace and the capital division, and to protect the safety of the queen and princesses. And, if that happens, these women will be able to defend the palace with new rifles. Of course, now that I am back in Daming, it is impossible to let that step happen again. ”
Chongzhen nodded again and again after listening, and Zhu Yunwen then said: "After Jinyiwei and Dongchang transfer 5,000 people, and then transfuse new blood, these two royal guards must be used, Dongchang monitors hundreds of officials, and Jinyiwei explores the world." The Military Intelligence Bureau and the Economic Intelligence Bureau were established to collect information on the Rogue and Jiannu.
The main goal in the near future is to defeat the Liukou and pacify the Guannei, annihilate the Jiannu and recover the Guanwai, and take Mongolia into their arms, and when the world is calm, rectify the dynasty, crack down on corruption, and reorganize taxes, the officials and gentlemen must pay taxes to the imperial court, and severely crack down on land annexation. Then, set his eyes beyond the Ming Dynasty, the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, can no longer fall into the arms of the countries of the Western world. ”
……
When Zhu Yunwen and Chongzhen were discussing the future in the palace, outside the palace, more than a dozen court officials such as Zhou Yanru's mansion, Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, Chen Yanyan, a cabinet scholar, Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the household department, and Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, gathered in the study of the Zhou Mansion.
In the early dynasty, the emperor's two wills made these court ministers worry about Zhongzhong, not to mention that the prince went out of the palace to lead the army, that is, Wang Chengen went out of the palace to build a factory for the royal family, which made the ministers very uncomfortable. Although they also know that the world is chaotic now, and the court is so poor that only face remains. But if you want the royal family to come out and open a factory to make money, it is absolutely impossible.
However, the so-called immortal figures who appeared in the palace yesterday were what these ministers were most worried about. Since ancient times, demons have emerged in troubled times. Now it is a troubled time, if there is another demon to disrupt the court, this already stormy Ming Dynasty may really be on the verge of extinction.
Although there were about a dozen people sitting in the study, there was silence in the study for a while. And at this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion walked in, handed over a small note, bowed his head and whispered a few words in Zhou Yanru's ear, and then immediately left the study.
Zhou Yanru looked at the contents of the small note with an angry face, and it was not until the housekeeper walked out of the study and closed the door that he slapped the desk hard and screamed angrily: "Ridiculous." ”
"Ladies and gentlemen," Zhou Yanru said angrily: "I just received the news that the demon who appeared in the palace yesterday is actually wearing the same Ming Huang dragon robe as the emperor today. And the emperor doesn't care about this, this is really ridiculous! ”
"What? Damn the wicked! Li Banghua roared angrily: "How can the emperor be so confused!" No, I want to enter the palace, I want to enter the palace to kill this demon! ”
Fan Jingwen, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, also stood up with an angry face, followed behind Li Banghua and prepared to enter the palace together. Chen Yan hurriedly stood up and stopped the three of them: "Wait, three adults, and listen to Lord Zhou's detailed explanation, explain it clearly, I will enter the palace to rescue the emperor later." ”
……
At the same time, the mansion of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, also gathered a bunch of nobles of the Ming Dynasty. The prince wants to go out of the palace to rectify the Beijing camp and form a new army, which is a great disaster for these nobles.
Since the battle of Tumubao, the three major battalions of the Beijing Division have lost all their elites, not to mention going to the battlefield against the enemy, even the defense of the Beijing Division has been unable to do it, and it has been completely eroded. Today's three major battalions of the Beijing Division have long become a paradise for nobles to eat and drink the blood of soldiers. Not only were the entire three battalions less than men, but all the soldiers and horses were only seven or eight thousand.
And among these seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, they still have to get rid of the families of various noble families, and after settlement, the real strength is only three or four thousand. Moreover, except for seven or eight hundred for the emperor to put on a show, the others are some old and weak, sick and disabled, these people still have to work for the nobles, and they will not fight for a long time.
The commander Li Guozhen was anxious and restless, if the prince carefully inspected and rectified, he would be the first to bear the brunt of the crime of beheading, and it was possible to be punished.
"What's the hurry?" Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen looked at Li Guozhen unhappily and said, "How old is the prince?" It's just twelve or thirteen years old, what does such a child know? It's too simple to fool him, I have already arranged for my subordinates to go to the camp outside the city, first recruit some homeless people to fill a vacancy, fool the prince and then drive the homeless people away, it's just a matter of losing some food.
The main thing now is the news coming out of the palace. The immortal figure who suddenly appeared, the palace found out, it was the Jianwen remnant more than two hundred years ago, and the emperor already believed it, this is the most troublesome. ”
Compared with Zhou Yanru's class of Wenchen, these nobles have obviously received much more and more accurate information. They don't care if the emperor opens a factory, they don't care if the court has silver, they only care that their own interests can't be taken away by the emperor. Obviously, when the crown prince went out of the palace to rectify the Beijing camp and form a new army, it was to move their interests, and it was necessary to find a way to solve it.
"What? That person is Jianwen Yu? That's impossible! How could the emperor believe such a ridiculous thing. If that man is really a remnant of Jianwen, then hasn't he lived for 300 years? I really thought he was a god. ”
The nobles were shocked, in this world, the most widely spread name and surname is Peng Zu, who lived for 800 years. But after all, no one has seen it, so it's still just a legend.
Zhu Chunchen nodded and said: "The news from the palace that the dragon robe that person is wearing today is indeed the style of Emperor Jianwen back then, and his person is also similar to the portrait left in the palace. Perhaps, this is also the reason why the emperor believed that man. However, no one has ever seen whether there are people in this world who have lived for hundreds of years, and whether there are immortals.
I'm afraid, that man is inciting the emperor to seize our military power. Perhaps, the crown prince leaving the palace to take charge of the three battalions of the Beijing division is the first step for the emperor to seize military power. The so-called new army, I am afraid, there is no place for us anymore. When the time comes, how will we live? ”
The three battalions of the Beijing Division are known as the tens of thousands of troops of the three major battalions, but since the battle of Tumubao, the three battalions of the Beijing Division have become ornaments and the private slaves of the noble generals in Beijing. Now that the prince has left the palace to take charge of the Beijing camp to form a new army, it is undoubtedly to dig meat from the nobles.
The only thing that makes these nobles happy is that now it is a natural disaster, and Hebei is experiencing man-made disasters and plagues, so that the Beijing division is crowded with displaced people from Hebei, so that they can calmly capture some young people from the displaced people to deal with the prince's exit from the palace.
"Tomorrow morning, I believe that those civil officials will not let go of this opportunity to fight against the emperor in order to win a clear name. We should also echo the recital of the civil officials, and the threat to the throne of that person appeared in the Ming Palace to delay the time for the prince to leave the palace. It is best to dispel the idea that the emperor will order the prince out of the palace and keep our rights ...... Jingying. ”
……
"Ancestor, the ministers of the court are very resistant to my will. Originally, my idea was to let the crown prince go out of the palace to rectify the three camps of the Beijing Division, and let Wang Daban go out of the palace to open a royal factory. However, these two wills were collectively contradicted by the ministers of the DPRK and China......"
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's brows furrowed, Zhu Youzhen's face turned red, and his voice became smaller and quieter, and he paused. Zhu Yunwen sighed and said, "Emperor, what are you afraid of?" With the ancestor here and the ancestor as your backing, you can completely let go of your hands and feet to vigorously reform, and those incompetent ministers of the DPRK and China will not be able to affect the situation in the world.
Besides, this Ming Dynasty has reached this point, it is already like a patient who dies frequently, and it cannot be cured unless it is a fierce medicine, so it is simply completely demolished and rebuilt. With the ancestors, the Ming Dynasty can't die. ”
Saying that, Zhu Yunwen sighed again and said: "The ancestor cultivated to the tribulation in the later life, and originally thought that he could achieve positive results after the tribulation, and ascend to the immortal court and enter the heavenly court from now on. It is a pity that in the later generations, the immortal path has been broken, the heavenly court is not visible, and the immortal fruit position is not allowed to appear in the mortal world. If it weren't for the fact that the Ancestor immediately escaped into the crack of time and space and fled here, I am afraid that the Ancestor would have been shattered by the punishment of heaven in the future life, and his body would have disappeared.
Perhaps, this is also the emperor's grandfather who has a spirit in the sky, and he can't bear the sinking of the Ming Dynasty established by him, so that the ancestor will come here and come to this era of ups and downs in the Ming Dynasty. Seriously, emperor, if you had been born a hundred years earlier and sat on the throne, this Ming dynasty would not have fallen to such a point. ”
Zhu Yunwen was a little lonely, and Zhu Youzhen was also embarrassed.
