Chapter 556: Hot Potato
Generous!
After listening to Zhu Changluo's concept, Xu Wenbi only had these three words in his mind, if it was said that after three years of garrison, he would be transferred to the 26th Guard, which seemed to be an illusory promise, then transferring the Guard Command Division to the Reserve Army was a real big deal.

Up and down the government and the opposition, no one does not know that this guard commands the envoys, but the descendants of His Royal Highness the Prince, although the number is small, but it was formed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince himself, and he has followed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince since the time of the Shou Palace, and the feelings are extraordinary.
And this army is filled with the reserve army, that is, Zhu Changluo is announcing to the outside world that this time the reserve army will be his future cronies.
Who doesn't want from the dragon's work?
Especially the relatives of the imperial court, they will definitely be moved, but they are just thrown into a concubine who is not worthy of attention, maybe they will become a family valued by the prince in the future, and this transaction is simply a sure win!
"Your Highness, rest assured, this matter is wrapped up in the old man's body, there are not many others in the Beijing Division, that is, there are many children of Xun Qi, and His Highness allows them to join the Japanese army, which is their blessing!"
Xu Wenbi put his mind at ease, and immediately patted his chest and reassured.
If he has to hesitate a little bit about other things, this matter does not need to be considered at all, there are such generous conditions here, and he is worried that those sons and daughters of Xun Qi will not squeeze their heads and want to join the Japanese army?
What's more, Xu Wenbi is a thief and a thief, how can he not see that this reserve army is nominally to prevent foreign enemies from invading the Japanese country in the past, but in fact, it is to be a prestige and a blessing, no one cares how arrogant you are in the Japanese country, when you are a few years old, you can get a meritorious service back, and you will be promoted smoothly, naturally there are a lot of people who want to go!
"Then please entrust this matter to Xu Guogong, the children of each family can sign up to join the Japanese army, each Xun Qi Zi, the palace allows them to bring fifty personal guards into the army, the number of Xun Qi children of each family is not limited, Xu Guogong can find as much as the palace!"
A smile also appeared on the corner of Zhu Changluo's mouth, and he said with a wave of his big hand.
Xu Wenbi arched his hand, signaling that he must do things properly, among the relatives of this Jingshi, he still has some influence.
"Don't hide it from Xu Guogong, there is another matter in this palace today, and I want to ask Xu Guogong about the three major camps!"
After talking about preparing for the Japanese army, Zhu Changluo also turned the topic to the present.
The reason why the Dingguo Mansion has a great influence among the commanders of the Jingshi is that Xu Wenbi is the commander of the Beijing camp, although the emperor changes the governors of the three battalions very frequently, but the circle of the honorable relatives is so big, in exchange for it, in the end, he still picked the old load-bearing Xu Wenbi, and after counting, Xu Wenbi is the person who has sat in this position for the longest time.
And this time, for the sake of his youngest son, Xu Wenbi also made a bloody investment, and even let out the three major camps, otherwise, even if the emperor wants to transfer Chen Liangbi over, he will always have to worry about a little bit of the Xu family's face.
"Three battalions?"
Xu Wenbi's face suddenly became a little solemn, now that the holy decree had been issued, he naturally knew that Chen Liangbi was about to succeed him as the new governor of Jingying Rongzheng, and he also knew that the emperor intended to send Zhu Changluo to rectify the affairs of the camp.
It's just that the affairs of these three battalions are complicated, and even he can only follow the rules and try not to get involved.
But he never thought that Zhu Changluo would ask at this time.
As soon as he thought of this, Xu Wenbi suddenly understood, why this good thing of forming a reserve army would fall on his own head, in terms of the influence of words among the relatives, the Fei family, which was closest to Zhu Changluo, was not much weaker than the Xu family now.
Feelings: This is to give carrots first and then to sticks, eat people with soft mouths and short hands......
"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the disadvantages of the three battalions are very wide-ranging, and outsiders say that the three battalions are disciplined and wasted, and they do not train every day, because the lords and relatives of each family arbitrarily send sergeants out to work, but in fact, the minister has been transferring the three battalions for many years, and he is deeply touched by this! It is not right for Xun Qi to embezzle sergeants, but in fact, this is inseparable from the group of civil servants in the DPRK and China! ”
No matter what, after receiving the benefits of others, you always have to take out something real, Xu Wenbi sighed and said.
"I want to hear about it!"
Zhu Changluo also sat up straight and spoke.
"Your Royal Highness Mingjian, our dynasty regulations, each guard is under the command of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies is under the control of the Ministry of War, although the three battalions are the Beijing camp, but in the end they are not the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, and they are still under the military orders of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and their military salaries are allocated according to the Ministry of War, but in fact, because there has been no war in the Beijing camp for a long time, the military salaries have been deducted again and again, and the relatives of the various families have stripped the military salaries, and the low-level soldiers have no salaries to take, so they have fled out to find another way to make a living! This is the biggest reason why the three major battalions have repeatedly reduced their posts over the years! ”
The problem of the three battalions, not only the problem of the honorable relatives, but the concentrated embodiment of the problem of the entire court, in Wenchen's view, spending money to support this group of useless soldiers, it is better to use the silver taels to do other things, although the emperor has repeatedly reprimanded, but the household department still does its own thing, especially the three major battalions, the annual salary quota, in fact, according to half of the book.
The treasury is short of money!
And this silver tael, which is not rich, has to go through layers of exploitation, the three major battalions are the base camp of the Xun Qi, and there are many Xun Qi's children who hold positions in it.
They wished they had a few more sergeants, so that the money that should have been theirs would have gone into their pockets.
And more importantly, in the past few years, the number of conscripts levied by the Beijing division is also very limited, the imperial court needs to build roads and rivers, repair the yamen, and there is a shortage of people in various places, so the yamen also follow the same example, and draw sergeants from the three major battalions, called guards, in fact, to do coolies.
This kind of problem, especially the Ministry of Industry, is the most serious!
The entire court has now regarded the three major battalions as a cash cow, and they have gone to the three battalions to find it if they are short of money and people.
Although Xu Wenbi knew the problem, with his strength, it was really difficult to change.
After all, this involves all the major forces of the imperial court.
"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, the shortcomings of the three major battalions have been involved over the years, and many affairs above the court have been involved, and it is not purely selfish, it is really a matter of moving the whole body, not a day's work can be changed, even if Your Highness wants to reorganize military affairs, you should also plan it slowly, and you must not act recklessly!"
Walking out of the Dingguo Mansion, Zhu Changluo held a detailed list that Xu Wenbi had listed for him, recalled the old prince's solemn expression at the end, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
This time it's really a hot potato!
