After a night, when they woke up the next day, the people of Beijing suddenly discovered that martial law had been lifted, and the menacing mutiny that sounded menacing yesterday had been silently pacified.

The Governor's Mansion of Zhili, the Shuntian Mansion, as well as the Jinyi Guard, and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division all sent people to the streets to post notices to the people from street to street to announce the results of yesterday's rebellion. At this time, everyone found out that the soldiers who were in trouble had been completely pacified by the Beiyang soldiers led by the national surname.

Martial law was lifted and the market was restored.

There are officials who have announced yesterday's events over and over again, and it is the first time that the imperial court has quelled a turmoil so quickly, and it is the first time that the results have been dealt with extremely quickly.

To the great surprise of the people of Beijing, the country surnamed Ye was so decisive and quick when he deployed troops to quell the chaos, but after pacifying the chaos, he was not punished as severely as everyone expected.

The results of the disposition of the three towns in Jingying were quickly disposed of, and only a small number of low-ranking officers who took the lead in inciting troubles were disposed of, and not a single officer of the rank of 1,000 or more was disposed of.

Everyone was surprised, but also felt that it was very reasonable, isn't this the practice of the imperial court, every time the soldiers who make trouble are tried not to be held accountable. But to everyone's surprise, this should not be the practice of the national surname. And even if it is the imperial court, if the law does not blame the people, it is also against the soldiers below, and every time in the end, a few senior officers will be used to make an example.

However, what the people saw was only the superficial treatment of the Beijing army by the imperial court.

Qianqing outside the Prime Minister's Office.

The third enlarged meeting of the Prime Minister's Office is being held, with more than 100 officials participating. Today's discussion is about the follow-up handling of the troubles.

When Liu Jun accompanied the little emperor to appear in the hall of the prime minister's office, more than 100 high-ranking officials couldn't help but look sideways. Liu Jun's thunderous methods yesterday still shocked them. The original garrison battalion and the garrison battalion also wanted to make a salary, but the Janissary camp was quickly pacified. When the messengers of the Beiyang Army arrived at the battalions with Liu Jun's military orders, those who were originally ready to move immediately turned off their fires.

Those officials who intervened behind the scenes in this trouble, and even secretly promoted it, were all nervous, and no one knew which direction things would develop next.

The little emperor's face is very good today. Yesterday, when he heard that the Beijing army was making a salary, his face was terrified. But last night, the emperor slept well, and today he is in good spirits.

The emperor sat down, and the officials bowed.

"Zhu Qing is flat." Zhu Cihong raised his hand to signal.

The meeting of the Prime Minister's Office is not a court meeting, and ministers, regardless of their official positions, have seats, and everyone is seated.

The emperor's whole spirit and spirit are a little different today, as if he has matured overnight.

But as soon as the emperor spoke. It still made all the officials startled.

"I am very disappointed with the Beijing army's salary last night. These were originally my tiger guards, but they made trouble, smashed shops in Beijing, and plundered the people, if it weren't for the king of Liaodong County to bring the soldiers of Beiyang Town into Beijing to quell the chaos, I don't know what kind of thing would happen in the end. ”

"I have decided to dismantle all three battalions and nine towns of the Beijing army."

A word alarmed hundreds of officials.

"Your Majesty. There must be no garrison guards in Beijing! ”

"It is true that there must be no guards in Beijing, but I don't want those Beijing troops who have no king and no father. I want to transfer the Beiyang soldiers to the guards and the Praetorian Guards. Then transfer the elite from Liaodong to Beijing as a garrison and garrison. ”

"Your Majesty, never." Zhou Yanru couldn't help but speak out against it.

Chen Xinjia, the general secretary of the army, also stood up to oppose it, Wu Fu and other officials also spoke out against it, and even Liu Zongzhou, who had been supporting Liu Jun recently, also spoke out against it.

The civil officials objected from their hearts to the military generals controlling too much force, and Liu Jun became the governor of Zhili and the minister of Gu Ming, and he was already uneasy. If the emperor really withdrew all the troops in Beijing, he changed it to transfer the Chu army into Beijing. In the future, won't the entire Jingshi and even the entire imperial court be controlled by Liu Jun?

No matter which Wenchen is against such a thing, he insists on opposing it.

Seeing the raging group discussion, Liu Jun stood up in a timely manner. He knew that he had to make a statement, otherwise Zhou Yanru and the others would definitely make a fuss about this matter.

"Your Majesty. The minister also opposed the transfer of Liaodong soldiers and horses into Beijing. Although he has made peace with the Qing captives now, the Qing captives are still strong and cannot be taken lightly. Liaodong soldiers and horses must not leave lightly, and Liaodong must be guarded. Although there were people in the Beijing camp who instigated rebellion, they were only a small number of people with bad intentions, and not all of the Beijing troops were like this. You can't kill a group of people with a stick. ”

Liu Jun reported very seriously, things have to wait until the melons are ripe and fall, and the water will come to fruition, the melons are not ripe, and the twisted melons will not be sweet.

Regarding the disposition of the Beijing army, Liu Jun still insisted on the previous discussion.

The Beijing army was comprehensively rectified, and the original three battalions were reorganized into nine divisions of the three armies, namely the Janissary, the Garrison, and the Garrison, and the Imperial City and Miyagi were newly built by three guards and pro-army, which respectively served as the guards of the Imperial City, the guards of the Miyagi City, and the escort and guards.

The Praetorian Guards in the three armies of the Beijing camp were no longer subordinate to the governor of Zhili, but were directly subordinate to the military department.

The 30,000 Beiyang soldiers and horses in Beijing were incorporated into the new Beijing army, and the original Beijing army only selected 100,000 to be retained.

However, after yesterday's incident, Zhu Cihong had no good impression of Jingying, and even refused to listen to Liu Jun's insistence. After talking for a long time, in the end, Zhu Cihong only agreed to retain 80,000 old Beijing troops.

In addition to the 30,000 Beiyang soldiers who were incorporated into the Xinjing Army, 20,000 troops had to be transferred from Dengzhou to Beijing to supplement the Xinjing Army.

This time, the hundred officials reluctantly passed the will.

Zhou Yanru didn't dare to fight much, he had a ghost in the center of this trouble, for fear that he would be very opposed, in case his matter was pulled out.

The emperor personally selected the commander of the Nine Gates to lead the Praetorian Guard, and he appointed Liu Yun, the chief officer of the Beiyang Army, to be promoted to the commander of the Nine Gates, responsible for the defense of the nine gates inside the Beijing division and the seven outer gates.

Some officials objected, thinking that Liu Jun was the governor of Zhili, Liu Qiao was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and now Liu Jun's cousin, Liu Qiao's son, was appointed as the governor of Jiumen, which was very bad.

It's a pity that the emperor didn't listen, and although the emperor was young, his temper was the same as that of his father Chongzhen. The more he objected, the more insistent he became.

In the end, the officials took a step back, after all, Liu Yunsheng led the troops to quell the rebellion yesterday.

"Your Majesty, the minister has urgently borrowed five million silver dollars from the Four Seas Bank, which is ready to be used immediately to pay the arrears of food and wages of the Beijing army, so as to appease the army and the people and stabilize the situation in Beijing. In addition, the minister also transported a batch of grain from the sea into Beijing, and the first batch of 200,000 stone grain has entered Tianjin Port. It is being transferred from the Wei River and the canal into Beijing, and it will be able to arrive in Beijing in a few days. ”

There was a burst of exclamations below.

Everyone didn't expect Liu Jun to have this hand, the thunder here sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and the silver dollar grain has been transferred here, so the two-pronged approach is both grace and power. It is impossible for the Beijing army to make any waves.

Liu Jun not only prepared these two hands, but even prepared other ones.

He made a report to the emperor, counted and inspected the Beijing army, and issued the original arrears according to the actual soldiers, and at the same time disposed of those officers who ate empty salaries, and this officer who took the lead in inciting trouble, and then sent people to evaluate all the actual Beijing troops.

Among them, 80,000 Beijing troops with strong bodies, outstanding martial arts, and good records in the past were selected, and 50,000 soldiers and horses from Beiyang Town and Denglai Town, which were transferred to Beijing, and were scattered and reorganized, and organized into four guards, Praetorian Guards, garrisons, and garrisons.

For the hundreds of thousands of people who will be laid off. It will be unified into the engineering battalion.

Liu Junti's engineering battalion is actually similar to the Xiang Army of the Northern Song Dynasty. In Liu Jun's plan, this engineering battalion, they no longer belong to soldiers, but to a battalion dedicated to labor in the imperial court.

They will arrange for some river dredging, construction and maintenance of roads and castles, construction of embankments, and land transportation in Gyeonggi. They were the equivalent of a state-owned infrastructure engineering company, accepting engineering tasks from the imperial court.

However, unlike the Song Dynasty Xiang Army, this engineering battalion was not only not subordinate to the military department, but was not called a soldier. And they're not simply taking on tasks. They will be a simple engineering team, when the capital construction task of the imperial court is entrusted to them. There will be a cost budget, and they do the works. The imperial court pays, and then they pay their own profits and losses.

In other words, although they were assigned to the engineering battalion, in fact the imperial court did not pay salaries. Liu Jun specially set up such an engineering battalion, in fact, because the Beijing army has been undertaking these jobs and all kinds of labor. They also had to serve the royal family and officials, who made up a large part of the Beijing army, and in the name of the Beijing army, were actually a group of laborers who were enslaved.

Liu Jun is building this engineering battalion now because the Beijing division has this demand. He didn't want the new Beijing army to take on this kind of labor in the future.

Moreover, a large number of Beijing troops were evacuated, and it was impossible for Liu Jun to send them all to Taiwan. And if so many Beijing troops are not properly resettled after being dismantled, they will become a great hidden danger if they are not careful.

"After the establishment of the engineering battalion, all units of the four armies of the new Beijing battalion will no longer bear labor in the future, and will only be responsible for the defense of Gyeonggi. The engineering battalion specializes in infrastructure projects and royal and official services for the royal and government departments in Beijing. ”

The basic engineering is mainly the construction and maintenance of roads and cities, river dredging, dam construction and maintenance, water and land transportation, etc. In terms of service, it is mainly responsible for guarding the imperial mausoleum, as well as honoring guards and doormen for officials.

A soldier is a soldier, and service is a service, and they cannot be confused.

Zhu Cihong now trusts Liu Jun very much, and although he doesn't understand the plan proposed by Liu Jun, he still expresses his full support.

"Your Majesty, the minister requests that an edict be issued to the whole country to formally abolish the guard system, abolish the guard posts in all parts of the world, and the command of the envoys in all provinces, and at the same time remove the governors of the five armies, and abolish all the governors and guard posts."

Liu Jun made another proposal that everyone expected.

Abolish the Tianxia Guards, the Central Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Provincial Commanders, and the Guards in various localities. Even the set of official positions that will be removed from the Governor's Mansion Guard, and in the future, the Governor's Left and Right Governors, the Governor's Servants, and even the Commanders, as well as the Governor's Mansion Guards, and the Thousands of Households, Hundreds of Households, etc., will be abolished.

Liu Jun even demanded that the battalion system be abolished, and in addition to the two official posts of chief soldier and deputy chief soldier, the rest of the generals, guerrilla generals, garrison divisions, and general banners should be abolished.

"In the future, the soldiers and horses of the whole country will be arranged according to the standard battalion and company of the town division association, and the town will set up a general soldier, a deputy general soldier, a chief of staff, a coach envoy, a pacification envoy, a supervising military envoy, and a supervising military officer. The division shall set up division commanders, deputy division commanders and other officials, and the assistant directors and deputy directors shall be established accordingly. ”

A set of official positions, such as governor, commander, and thousand households, were official positions under the guard system in the early years, but after the conscription system, a new set of official positions under the battalion system, such as the new general general, deputy general, staff general, and guerrilla general, was used. Since the Ming Dynasty has not abolished the guard system, after the battalion system is interested, although a new official position system has been used, but it itself has no grade, and each officer has to add a guard post to supervise the post as usual, so as to determine the rank of the officer.

Now after the Ming Dynasty reorganized the army, it is no longer the battalion system of the past, but a new combat system, and the platoon of the battalion and company of the town division association is a pyramid structure from top to bottom, rather than the original relatively flat structure. Moreover, the new establishment system has also been strengthened at all levels of officers.

It is not suitable to use the original set of positions, and after having a military rank, there is no need for the post of the governor's office as a military rank.

After the abolition of guard posts and battalion posts, and the adoption of a new set of military ranks and ranks of soldiers, the upper and lower levels will be clearer and clearer, and there will be no disorder.

Of course, Liu Jun will not be so simple when he brings up this matter.

In the final analysis, the ultimate goal of abolishing the guard station, abolishing the guard post and the combat soldier system, and comprehensively implementing the new army system to stabilize Liu Jun is to comprehensively strengthen and stabilize the new army system and strengthen the status of military personnel.
