Chapter 071: Xin You Jingcha
The weather is getting hotter, the sun is like a hot June, the temperature in the capital is rising, making people feel a little unbearable, at this time, the Beijing investigation officially began.
Zhu Youxiao was fanning in the palace and enjoying the Jingcha drama of the Donglin Party.
"Your Majesty, this is the chilled bayberry soup just made in the imperial dining room, and there is also chilled watermelon." Yang Guang and the two eunuchs guarding the imperial dining room walked in and brought them to learn about the summer products.
On a hot day, watermelon is Zhu Youxiao's favorite! Chilled bayberry soup is also very good. Before Zhu Youxiao ate, he still looked at it carefully.
Yang Guang thought to himself, the emperor must be worried about whether he was poisoned again.
They are also not surprised by the emperor's suspicious habits, who let Emperor Guangzong die too strangely. When this chilled bayberry soup was brought out, the two eunuchs in the imperial dining room stared at the whole process, and followed them all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, for fear that they would be poisoned halfway.
Yang Guang smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the slave maid will give you a taste!" ”
"Okay, you can taste it first!" Zhu Youxiao smiled, looking at the tempting chilled watermelon, he didn't dare to eat it directly, and he was helpless! If you're not careful, who knows when you'll be tricked.
Yang Guang ate two slices of watermelon, drank some bayberry soup, and then still jumped around. Zhu Youxiao picked up the watermelon and ate it with confidence.
After a while, Li Jinzhong came in, and not long ago Li Jinzhong told the emperor that he wanted to glorify the lintel, so he changed his surname back, and gave himself the name of 'Zhongxian', and then called Wei Zhongxian.
When you become a big eunuch, you naturally can't use someone else's surname, otherwise how can you return home?
Of course, Zhu Youxiao had nothing to oppose, so Wei Zhongxian, who was famous in history, finally appeared. Wei Zhongxian was born poor, and his family couldn't support him when he was a child, so he could only be sent to the palace.
At this time, after Wei Zhongxian changed his name, he immediately sent someone home, sent five thousand taels of silver to the family, and also passed two children from his two elder brothers to be his stepsons.
The money Wei Zhongxian gave to his family was all given by the emperor.
After the establishment of the Han Emperor Party, the party was supported by high salaries. These eunuchs in the palace, as well as Jinyiwei and Dongchang's Yulu, are already very high.
Wei Zhongxian has been in the past year, and he also has tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you find a big case or something, there will be a reward or something. However, corruption and bribery were strictly warned by Zhu Youxiao, and the income in this area has been cut off. Wei Zhongxian has a stepson, and he also has concerns about his actions, which Zhu Youxiao is happy to see.
"Your Majesty, the list of the first batch of officials to be investigated and punished by the Donglin Party has come out, and the party leaders of Qi Chu and Zhejiang Xuan, Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi, have all been investigated and dismissed." Wei Zhongxian presented a list to Zhu Youxiao and continued: "In addition, there are dozens of people who are being dealt with, and this time the Donglin Party is going to exterminate the Qichu Zhexuan Party. ”
Zhu Youxiao showed a bright smile on his face, and he finally came.
Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi, as the party leaders of the Qichu and Zhejiang Xuan Party, did not hold high positions in the DPRK, and they were all given by various ministries.
But for these parties, the party leader does not necessarily need to hold a high position, but mainly depends on their own connections and how many younger brothers they can have. Then one person ascended to heaven and became an official, which was the thigh of the emperor.
Things like corruption and bribery, the same party and the same party, the younger brothers can charge into battle. is like supporting Guangzong Zhu Changluo to ascend to the throne, as well as the palace transfer case, the representative figure of the Donglin Party charging into battle is Yang Lian. This palace transfer case was liquidated by Zhu Youxiao, and Ye Xianggao's group of bigwigs didn't have any.
Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, Wu Liangsi and the Donglin Party naturally have a 'deep hatred', and the previous 'Xinhai Jingcha' was presided over by these people, almost expelling the Donglin Party.
The first year of the Apocalypse is the year of Xinyou, and it has been ten years since the last Xinhai Jingcha.
This Beijing investigation, later generations will call it 'Xinyou Jingcha', this time the Beijing Investigation Donglin Party is vigorous and resolute, and the Qichu Zhejiang Xuan Party personnel are almost wiped out.
Under the court, dozens of Qichu and Zhejiang party officials were investigated and punished.
For the bigwigs of the Qichu Zhejiang Propaganda Party, they are greedy for a lot of money, and they are dismissed when they are dismissed, and they can be rich when they go home anyway.
But for those Ma Tsai of the Qi Chu Zhejiang Xuan Party, it was an unbearable loss.
Paralysis! Lao Tzu has been studying hard for twenty or thirty years, what is the plan for thousands of miles to seek officials? It's nothing more than status and wealth, although there is not much oil and water to be a horseman, there is always hope to get through, right? was dismissed at once, and naturally he was extremely unhappy, and suddenly formed a bond with the Donglin Party.
Although these horses of the Qichu Zhejiang Xuan Party are very unhappy, but the big guys have lost power in the court, and they are powerless to change anything, so they can only grit their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.
As soon as the results of the Beijing investigation came out, Zhu Youxiao knew that it was time to make a move. Immediately asked Wei Zhongxian to contact Ma Zai, who was investigated and punished, in order to form a new party.
As for the officials Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi, it was naturally impossible for Zhu Youxiao to reach out and pull them. If you pull them up, wouldn't Qi Chuzhejiang Xuandang Ma Zai have to go back to their seats to listen to orders? These guys were dismissed, just in time, so that Zhu Youxiao could have the opportunity to take their horses over.
These horses are not famous enough and do not have enough connections, and it will be difficult for them to have the ability to disobey Zhu Youxiao for a while.
Want to make a comeback? Want to get promoted?
No problem, as long as you are obedient, you can have it all.
Zhu Youxiao's recent political skills have made some progress, and he remembered what Yuan Shikai said at the end of the Qing Dynasty: Holding a knife in one hand and silver in the other, those who are obedient will be rewarded, and those who are disobedient will eat knives.
After contacting a piece of horses, Zhu Youxiao will be able to attack the bigwigs of the Donglin Party.
"Hey, next year's military spending seems to have been settled." Zhu Youxiao thought happily that this year's military spending would have to be scraped together to get it. However, Li Sancai's assets made Zhu Youxiao a windfall, which made military spending suddenly relaxed. But next year's military spending is still a headache, which makes Zhu Youxiao target Ye Xianggao.
It's cool to raid the house, and the windfall is smashed on the head.
With the issuance of a large amount of military expenses by General Zhu You, Sun Chengzong's hands suddenly became rich, and the Ming army continued to strengthen the defense line of Guangning for several days, and hoarded a large number of war materials such as grain, grass, gunpowder, and arrows in Guangning.
At this time, the Ming army in Liaodong, because the imperial court still had military salaries, the warlord flowers were not so strict. The army is not like in the Chongzhen period, only the military attaché's family can fight, and the rest of the Ming army is like an abandonment. After Xiong Yanbi took office, he rectified military discipline, and the foundation of the Ming Army in Liaodong was still okay.
The so-called Guangning Iron Cavalry has not yet appeared in this year, and Zu Dashou is only a relatively outstanding Liaodong military general at this time. After Sun Chengzong took office, he selected three military generals for cultivation, one was Zu Dashou, the second was Man Gui, and the third was Zhao Shujiao. And the Liaodong Ming Army was reorganized.
In general, the Liaodong Ming army at this time was still under the control of the imperial court, and the warlord problem was not too strict, but it had a rudimentary shape.
As long as the imperial court's military salaries continued, these warlords could not develop. After all, the imperial court has a salary, and the soldiers of the Ming army do not need to rely on these generals to survive.
After Sun Chengzong received the holy decree, he also transferred most of the craftsmen in the Ming army to the royal military factory, leaving only some craftsmen who were responsible for repairing equipment.
At the same time, the Royal Military Factory also sent a large amount of equipment for Sun Chengzong to select and procure.
It's just that the weapons and equipment manufactured by the Royal Military Factory are obviously not very sound, and many of the equipment are not produced. For example, there are no three-eyed guns, bows, or crossbows.
In order to meet the orders from the front, the Royal Military Factory has begun to develop and manufacture these equipment. After all, it is not a business, and the needs of other Ming armies for weapons and equipment are not the same. Zhu Youxiao felt that before the model of the Beijing camp was completely explored, suddenly changing the equipment structure of the Ming army on the front line might cause problems.
In addition, Zhu Youxiao had also previously ordered to send 1,000 elite scouts (scouts) to Dongjiang Town to form a 'guerrilla army'. In order to recruit the real elite, Zhu Youxiao offered a monthly salary of 5 taels. PS: The first update, ask for tickets! Every time I hit the list, the books on the list on Monday are always as fierce as taking aphrodisiacs, and yesterday the brothers were very powerful and gained a firm foothold on the front page. Today is Tuesday, those books are immediately impotent, and now this book has risen to eighth place, not much different from the previous one, and now it is time for us to fight back. Please also give me a helping hand!
