"From now on, the Beijing camp will be disbanded immediately!"

As soon as Yue Yang's words came out, it was like a thunderbolt ringing in everyone's ears on a sunny day, and the nobles under the earth platform were still just shouting out nonsense, but Zhang Zhiji, who was standing next to Yue Yang, turned pale, and what he was most worried about still happened.

Seeing only the ugly Sen Sen said: "Brother Yue, the emperor just ordered you to rectify the Beijing camp, but he didn't let you disband the Beijing camp, right?" ”

"It's actually the same thing!" Yue Yang shook his head and pointed to the soldiers under the stage and said, "Grandpa Guo, look at the old man below, who can be Benhou's grandfather, and then look at that baby...... I'm afraid it's just been a few days since weaning, right? Can these people defend the Ming Dynasty? ”

Looking at the sarcastic smile on Yue Yang's face, Zhang Zhiji said in a weird manner: "Brother Yue, I'll tell you clearly, the water in this Beijing camp is deep, and after Lu Jiandou came last month, he could only run back in disgrace, even if you are an outsider, you can't be the enemy of the gentlemen in the whole capital, I advise you to go back to Shanxi honestly to be your marquis, otherwise if something happens in the future, it will hurt the harmony between us." ”

"Harmony!" Seeing Zhang Zhiji's cold expression, Yue Yang's expression also became severe, "Grandpa Guo, I also told you clearly, I will really disband this Beijing camp today, if you are not convinced, then set up the carriage and horses." ”

After speaking, Yue Yang ignored Zhang Zhiji anymore, he turned around and stretched out his hand, a personal soldier behind him handed over a microphone, Yue Yang took the microphone and said loudly: "Brothers in Jingying, let me introduce myself first, I am the loyal and brave Marquis Yueyang." Ben Hou told you one thing by the emperor's decree, from today onwards, the Beijing camp will be disbanded, and each of you will have a severance pay of five silver dollars, and after receiving the severance pay, you will have nothing to do with the Beijing camp from now on, and now everyone is lined up to receive the silver dollars! ”

As soon as Yue Yang's words fell, more than a dozen Xuanda sergeants carried a few heavy boxes to the earthen platform and put them down, making a heavy muffled sound. The chest was then opened, emitting a silvery white glow in the sunlight.

"Silver...... That's a lot of silver! ”

Seeing so many silver dollars, many of the Jingying soldiers on the school field suddenly couldn't be calm, and many people's eyes showed a hot light.

The person who knew the goods scolded his companion on the side, "Ignorant fool, that's a silver dollar, a silver dollar from Shanxi." A tael of silver each! ”

Due to the high purity, well-made, and exquisite style of silver dollars from Shanxi, it has gradually begun to become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty in recent years, although the Ming household department is very dissatisfied with this situation, but they have nothing to do in the face of the strong Yueyang. After all, many businessmen and ordinary people today recognize this.

In fact, not only those soldiers of the Beijing camp, but also the light of these silver dollars also dazzled the eyes of Zhang Zhiji and the nobles below, looking at the white silver dollars in front of them, they looked at Yue Yang with even more resentment. If these silver dollars were handed over to them for disposal, they would be able to extract at least sixty or even eighty percent of the benefits from them, but now Yue Yang was directly distributed to those poor ghost big-headed soldiers below, which would have to make them reap a lot less benefits!

The too greedy gaze in the eyes of Zhang Zhiji and the others did not hide from Yue Yang's eyes, he turned his head to Zhang Zhiji and said, "Grandpa Guo, I have already informed you." Now I'm going to give the soldiers a severance money, and you can go back!" ”

Zhang Zhiji reluctantly withdrew his greedy gaze, gritted his teeth word by word: "Yue Yang, do you really want to be our enemy?" ”

"Hahaha......" Yue Yang laughed. Suddenly shouted: "Come on, get these irrelevant people out!" ”

"Yes!"

With Yue Yang's order, the sergeants next to him immediately strode forward and drove out all the nobles and relatives of the state including Zhang Zhiji, and some of the nobles who still wanted to struggle were directly smashed by the sergeants with the butts of their guns and their heads were bleeding. These sergeants of the Xuan army don't care what their identities are, and whoever refuses to go out will be beaten until you get out.

The capital is a well-informed place, and what Yue Yang did immediately caused an uproar in the capital. Whether it is the dissolution of the Beijing camp or the beating of noble relatives, it is not a trivial matter, let alone two things happening together.

Zhang Zhiji and other nobles went to the palace to see Chongzhen on the same day, but they didn't even see Chongzhen's face, only Cao Huachun led hundreds of Dongchang fans to stand at the gate of the palace and told them that Yueyang was personally recognized by the emperor about this matter, and anyone who came to cry was used. Facing the cold palace gate and those palace gate guards and fans, Zhang Zhiji and the others could only leave in a huff.

And the reactions of the officials are also different, some are gloating, some are scolding, and some are waiting to see a good show, and Lu Xiangsheng, the secretary of the military department, even rushed into the palace to ask to see Chongzhen for this reason, and expressed his worries: "Your Majesty, is it too reckless to make such a big battle this time?" It must be known that the Jingying is very involved, and the Marquis of Zhongyong has offended all those nobles in this way, and if these people make a fuss, it may not be good for Your Majesty! ”

"Hmph, what's there to make a fuss about." Chongzhen snorted coldly before saying, "Jingying has been eroded so far, all because of these people. The 100,000 Beijing camps on the roster are actually less than 10,000 people, and even then there are thousands of people outside, but even so, the imperial court has to allocate a large amount of silver to them every year. Yue Yang is right, these are the moths adsorbed on Da Ming's body, if these moths are not removed as soon as possible, my Da Ming will be eaten by them sooner or later! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's face showed a sense of coldness. He really couldn't tolerate it, the Beijing camp, as the most powerful force defending the capital, was so corrupted, if there was a foreign enemy attacking the capital, the huge capital would simply be slaughtered.

Lu Xiangsheng also blushed when he heard it, although the erosion of the Beijing camp has nothing to do with him, but as the secretary of the military department, his face is still very difficult.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng lower his head, Chongzhen said with a somewhat solemn expression: "Lu Aiqing, a few days ago, Yueyang told me that he would establish a military academy in the capital to train officers for the Ming Dynasty, and in the future, my Ming officers and generals will be produced from these officers, what do you think?" ”

"Establish a military school?" Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but scream.

"Exactly!" Chongzhen nodded and said affirmatively: "I think it makes sense, you can take a look, now that my Ming Dynasty has millions of soldiers in name, and it may be impossible to pull out even 100,000 troops except for the Xuan army." To tell the truth, if it weren't for Yueyang leading the army to destroy Jiannu the year before last, I don't know what my Ming has become now. So now it's time for change, you don't leave later, stay and have a meal with me, Yue Yang will also come over, you two have a good chat. ”

"Obey the order!"

Originally, it was a very honorable thing to be able to accompany Emperor Lao Tzu to dinner, but Lu Xiangsheng didn't want to eat with Yue Yang. After all, this guy, who was his subordinate a few years ago, is now the marquis of the dynasty, and he is a super noble, and the two will be a little embarrassed to meet Nanmian. But the boss has spoken, what else can he say.

At noon, Yue Yang came to the Nuanxiang Pavilion on time. When Chongzhen saw Yue Yang coming, he ordered the eunuch to cook.

Soon, several eunuchs came, put the three dining tables together and spread the tablecloths, and the eunuchs with red lacquer boxes lined up to come in, and quickly served various dishes, meals, soups, etc. to the dining table. Lu Xiangsheng and Yue Yang also sat on both sides, in front of them

Lu Xiangsheng had the honor to accompany Chongzhen to dine before, Chongzhen was still very frugal at that time, but it was a bowl of brown rice, two dishes of vegetables and a stack of salted fish, but now it is very different, although it cannot be said to be a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it is much more abundant than the original.

Looking at the dishes of four meats, two vegetables and one soup in front of him, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes showed a hint of surprise, and Chongzhen couldn't help but smile when he saw this: "Does Lu Aiqing think that I am a little extravagant?" ”

"How dare you!" Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly stood up and arched his hand, "The emperor was too harsh on himself a few years ago, and now that the treasury has improved, it is understandable for the emperor to treat himself well. ”

Yue Yang also nodded on the side and said: "What Lord Lu said is very true, as the so-called money is earned rather than saved, it is advisable to throttle, but open source is the most important thing." Originally, the Ming Dynasty could not earn more than four million, and now the Ming Dynasty can give more than 5 million taels of silver to the Ming Dynasty every year in Shanxi and Shandong, plus the taxes in Jiangnan and other places, and now the Ming Dynasty has earned more than 10 million yuan, and after removing the Liao, the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to getting rid of a big burden, and the minister heard that the household department has a balance of more than 2 million taels of silver this year, and this matter is worth congratulating! ”

Hearing this, Chongzhen's eyebrows couldn't help but jump twice, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, Yue Yang's words simply scratched his heart, as an emperor who was used to living a hard life, he was happier than anyone else to see the generous use of the imperial court.

When Lu Xiangsheng on the side heard this, he said to Yue Yang: "Marquis Yue, this official heard that you proposed to the emperor to rebuild the Beijing camp, I don't know if you have a charter?" ”

Yue Yang pondered for a while before he said: "Don't worry about the charter or anything, how about we build a new army of 10,000 people according to the model of the Xuanda army?" The name Benhou has also thought of, and it will be called the First Division of the Ming Royal Army! ”

"The First Division of the Ming Royal Army?"

Chongzhen and Lu Xiangsheng glanced at each other after hearing this, and Chongzhen pondered for a while before nodding and said: "Master, the elephant of the division is attacked, and the army is raised." It's a good name, but why not adapt it according to the original Ming military system? ”

Yue Yang smiled: "The new army has a new atmosphere, besides." The minister thought that the original military system of the Ming Dynasty was too complicated and not conducive to command, so the minister planned to take advantage of the establishment of a new army to re-change the military system. ”

Yue Yang said what he thought...... (To be continued......) r1292
