Chapter Forty-Seven: The Righteous Army is mighty, and the horse master is killed
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang built the Marshal's Mansion of the United Army, with Zhu Wenzheng as the governor of the capital, controlling the soldiers and horses of the world, of which there were 48 guards in the capital, and later it was divided into the Governor's Mansion of the five armies in the front and back, the middle and the left, with a total of more than 200,000 officers and soldiers.

Later, Zhu Di ascended the throne and changed the Beijing battalion into three battalions, namely the five army battalions, the three thousand battalions, and the Shenji battalion.
After Tumubao, Yu Qian changed the three battalions to the ten regiment battalions, and began the era of civilian command and military power with the civilian governor Jingying.
In the Jiajing period, the three battalions were restored, but the 3,000 battalions were changed to the Shenshu battalion, and the imperial history was sent to recruit another 40,000 recruits, raising a total of 140,000.
After the three major expeditions of Wanli, the imperial court was busy with internal strife and party strife, resulting in the abolition of military affairs, and now in the hands of Zhu Youxiao, because most of the money and grain have been used for the Guanning iron cavalry, and there are more reasons for the corruption of officials, the Beijing camp army has long been in name only, the actual number of soldiers has been less than 100,000, and its discipline is even more loose.
Although His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao is coming now, because it is a snowy day, tens of thousands of Ming troops in Beijing have long been unable to stand staying in such weather for a long time.
Many people deserted and quietly escaped, while others simply stomped their feet on the spot, or seven or eight people gathered in a heap and rubbed their hands.
Only Lu Xiangsheng and his generals are still standing straight in place, and the other person is Aobai, although he has taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty at this time, he is scornful of these troops of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, couldn't stand it, and his relatives and friends in the Beijing camp were standing in the snow and starving, so he couldn't help but persuade Lu Xiangsheng: "Lu Shilang, the wind and snow are so big, Your Majesty is afraid that he will not come, or we will let the soldiers withdraw, there is no need to be frozen here in vain, after all, if this is frozen, we will not be able to explain to those nobles." ”
Although the first battle of Tumubao lost many nobles, there are still many nobles and nobles in the Beijing camp, and there are still many nobles and nobles who serve as military attaches in the Beijing camp.
Most of these people are related to the Ming royal family or have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, no one dared to touch these people, even Lu Xiangsheng, who had always been strict in governing the army, did not dare to risk the disapproval of the world to strictly control these noble children and correct military law.
Lu Xiangsheng also reported to Zhu Youxiao, but because of these days, Emperor Zhu Youxiao has not been able to spare time, and the affairs of Jingying have been repeatedly shelved.
Fortunately, three days ago, His Majesty finally sent someone to deliver the decree, saying that the Beijing camp would be reviewed and cleaned up at three o'clock today.
Lu Xiangsheng was naturally excited, seeing that the emperor personally cleaned up the Beijing camp, he wanted to lead this group of Beijing camp soldiers to practice well in advance, but who knew that these Beijing camp officers and soldiers were all like uncles.
Even if today is the day of His Majesty's personal inspection, these people are scattered one by one, and when they see that it is beginning to snow heavily, they are clamoring to leave.
These people are all His Majesty's imperial relatives and relatives, and they can be regarded as His Majesty's own people, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to beat or scold, after all, no one knew if he forced this group of uncles to report to His Majesty, and His Majesty would use himself as a scapegoat in order to appease this group of relatives.
Therefore, although he did not agree to Zhu Chunchen's proposal, he did not dare to stop it, so he only said: "Grandpa Guo, since you are the governor of the Central Military Governor's Mansion and the assistant of the Beijing camp, you should understand the reason that the military order is caused and you have to obey, as long as the emperor's will is not reached, you can't act rashly." “
"If you don't give a damn military order, I don't believe Your Majesty, he will kill his aunt because of this!"
Zhu Chunchen is a concubine, and his wife is the daughter of Emperor Wanli, so he can indeed be regarded as Zhu Youxiao's uncle, and it is precisely because of this that he has no fear, and he walked out with his own people as soon as he threw the purple clay pot in his hand to the ground.
Seeing this, several noble disciples also followed, and when they saw Lu Xiangsheng, they just snorted, and then swaggered away.
Lu Xiang was angry with the clenching of his fists, if it weren't for the fact that this guy was a horse master, he would even have to kill this person directly to make an example.
……
"Your Majesty has arrived!"
After a shout, Zhu Youxiao's honor guard entered the Jingying campus.
"Just stay inside, it's snowy outside, don't come out", Zhu Youxiao instructed Xiao Ru to get off the dragon chariot, and saw that the snow on the school field outside was three feet thick, but there were few soldiers on the school field.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel very shocked, there were 100,000 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp, and even if we took into account that there were generals who were paid empty salaries, they would have to have 50,000 or 60,000, but the officers and soldiers standing on the school ground of Nuoda University did not even look like 20,000.
Moreover, they are also loosely disciplined, not crookedly or backwards, and there are even people leaning on a pile of chatting, and there are still drinking and shouting fists.
Lu Xiangsheng and a group of generals who were still present saw Zhu Youxiao coming to salute, but Zhu Youxiao, who was already angry, couldn't give this famous minister a good face, so he snorted and asked coldly: "Lu Aiqing, this is the Beijing camp you gave to Admiral I?" ”
Lu Xiangsheng knelt directly in the snow: "Your Majesty! Non-ministers can't train soldiers, but in fact, these officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are His Majesty's own soldiers, and the micro-ministers have no cheap power and can't be controlled! ”
Seeing Lu Xiangsheng say this, Zhu Youxiao also understood a little, so he personally helped him up: "You stand up first", as he spoke, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "What about Zhu Chunchen, the governor of the left capital?" “
"Back to Your Majesty, he just left." Lu Xiangsheng replied.
"Ridiculous! He is a dignified governor of the left capital, and the general in charge of the Beijing camp has not left his post without permission", Zhu Youxiao immediately shouted as he said: "Jinyiwei, bring Zhu Chunchen to me!" “
Zhu Chunchen, who hadn't gone too far, was soon dragged by the Jinyi guard, and kept shouting: "What are you doing, let go of Lao Tzu, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will go to His Majesty to sue you!" ”
The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp present all looked over here, and when they saw His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao pulling his face, they were naturally a little afraid in their hearts, but they didn't think that their Majesty would do anything to Zhu Chunchen.
Because everyone knows that this Zhu Chunchen is His Majesty's own aunt.
"Your Majesty, you can be regarded as coming, Wechen just went out for a while, why did you go to such great lengths to arrest me like this, so that Wechen would have a face to rest."
When Zhu Chunchen saw Zhu Youxiao, he didn't feel that he would be punished, and he was a little unhappy to question Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao didn't speak with a cold face, what kind of goods is this Zhu Chunchen, he knows, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke through BJ City, and it was this guy who opened the city gate with Chen Yan to welcome Li Zicheng into the city, and he was the first minister to persuade Li Zicheng to ascend the throne.
Although this guy is Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen's uncle, he did not hesitate to abandon the Ming royal family.
Therefore, in order to revive military discipline today, Zhu Youxiao did not have the slightest idea that he couldn't do it because Zhu Chunchen was a concubine, not to mention that he was just a traverser.
"Bow down!"
Zhu Youxiao saw that the two brocade guards couldn't hold the self-righteous Zhu Chunchen, so he called Ao Bai over.
"Your Majesty commands!"
Ao Bai walked over and arched his hand.
"Knock Zhu Chunchen to the ground!"
Zhu Youxiao's order suddenly frightened Zhu Chunchen is face full of consternation, he didn't expect His Majesty to say such a thing.
But before he could react, Ao Bai lifted Zhu Chunchen with one hand, directly pressed him to the ground, and stepped on Zhu Chunchen's back, and Zhu Chunchen couldn't move at all.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is yours", before Zhu Chunchen finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao had already swung a knife, and a human head flew out like this, and the blood suddenly rushed out.
Everyone present was shocked, no one expected that the dignified Zuo Dudu, the Commander of the Horses, and Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, would be beheaded by His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youxiao in this way.
Liu Ru, who was hiding in the carriage, was also pale with fright, she didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor didn't just love people like a big brother, it turned out that sometimes he would be more terrible than the devil.
