It's not that Baili Wuji doesn't believe in the loyalty of these brothers, but that things are really going to come to that point, whether to rebel or not is definitely not something that these brothers can decide, but those arrogant soldiers will persecute them.

From the dragon's work, it is always the most confusing honor for a courtier.

And these brothers, who are the second and third rank generals, really want to be transferred to the 40,000 Imperial Forest Army, I am afraid that the position is too many monks and too little porridge, and it is difficult to satisfy their dignity and vanity.

Therefore, Baili Wuji temporarily did not move the establishment of the 80,000 Imperial Forest Army, only in this way could he take care of these brothers who followed him from birth to death to the greatest extent.

Besides, the Ming Kingdom is not as stable and peaceful as it seems, no, isn't there such a mess in Zhongshu Province now?

Baili Wuji's real idea is to control the Imperial Forest Army at 40,000 people, so as to protect the safety of the royal family and not drag down the balance of the royal family.

Because the original intention of Baili Wuji was to wait until politics became regular, the expenditure of the Imperial Forest Army would be independent of the Ming State's finances and supported by the royal family itself.

Baili Wuji is undoubtedly wealthy, and the amount of property he owns is beyond calculation.

Not a single cent of this comes from the treasury of the Ming Kingdom, but the profits generated by the gold-lettered signboards of drunken immortal liquor in all states and capitals of the Ming Kingdom for more than 20 years.

This alone was enough to cover the expenses of 40,000 Imperial Guards.

The royal family alone provided for the Imperial Guards, which not only reduced the pressure on the treasury, but also ensured the loyalty of the Imperial Guards, and at the same time, allowed the Imperial Family to truly play a mainstay role in the political power of the Ming Kingdom.

In this way, the neutral imperial family will be the most powerful anchor in the politics of the Ming Kingdom.

So. The political situation of the Ming State will be governed by the civil officials of the central court and the garrison of each state to protect the territory and the people; The General Staff commanded the New Army and was responsible for the foreign operations of the Ming State; The Imperial Guards remain neutral and are responsible for the security of the royal family.

The army on three fronts, the new army and the garrison of the state capital were equal in number. Only the Imperial Forest Army has the smallest number of people, and this rigid number limit ensures that the successors of Baili Wuji's descendants will not have the strength to get involved in the ruling power, because only 40,000 Royal Forest Army will not be able to control the political situation of the Ming State under any circumstances.

In this way, Baili Wuji put the tiger of the army into a cage, which not only will not repeat the political situation of the Song Dynasty in history, but can greatly promote the improvement of the army's combat effectiveness.

Passing the torch from generation to generation. These veterans who have been on the battlefield for more than 20 years, after stepping down, served in the university. To teach students as their own responsibility, to lay the most solid foundation for the strength of the Ming army, to change the past dynasties, famous generals are from the same bad habits.

There are ways to control the army. Baili Wuji naturally turned his energy to these officials in the imperial court.

This is also the main reason why Baili Wuji wants to promote a group of new forces from the two universities.

Young students are the most open-minded, receptive, and clean-minded people of this era. It can be said that a person who has mastered this level is equivalent to mastering half of the strength of the Ming Kingdom.

And the most important thing is that this layer of students can deal the most powerful blow to the original old forces.

The new, the old, the old and the young, are two natural opposing camps.

Don't be guided, it's the enemy.

Under the bloody suppression of the Imperial Forest Army, the officials involved in the riot kept retreating to the center of Zhongshu Province.

At this time, no one dared to defy the law. Fight against the Guards' clearance.

Because they already clearly felt that this time the emperor was probably going to kill the killer.

The only ones who really died under the Saber of the Royal Forest were the first group of daring to fight. Killing chickens and respecting monkeys has the same meaning at all times, and the clearance of the Imperial Forest Army after that went very smoothly, and no official dared to resist arrest by relying on his identity.

In only an hour and a half, the riot of nearly 10,000 people was extinguished, and after the count, only 53 people actually died under the swords of the Royal Forest, and the greatest casualties came from the stampede in the brawl.

The total number of deaths in this group beating reached more than 800, not including those who died under the Saber of the Imperial Forest.

Among the deceased, there was not a single official of the third grade or higher.

There were thirty-one officials from the fourth to sixth grades, one hundred and sixty officials from the seventh to ninth grades, and the rest were all called up to support the officials, officials, guards, and even ruffians and hooligans.

The sabers of the Imperial Forest were all officials, including twenty-one people from the third to fifth ranks, and thirty-two people below the fifth rank.

The essence of this riot can be seen from the numbers above.

When the SAO rebellion occurred, the high-ranking officials did not play a role in preventing the development of the situation, but consciously called friends and organized riots, and these people were disgruntled and deliberately caused turmoil, so as to take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters, in order to threaten the emperor and balance or even crush the rise of the new officials.

Feng Dao is one of the organizers, the initiator, but also a victim.

Interests do not mean that they need to be corrupt and pervert the law, on the contrary, Feng Dao can be said to be clean and clean, and all the money and wealth that pass through his hands are in the book, and no one falls into his pocket.

But this does not mean that in this riot, Feng Dao has no interests involved, on the contrary, Feng Dao is involved very deeply, quite deeply, otherwise, with Feng Dao's "tumbler" character, why should he personally go into battle and organize this wave of debate.

It's just that Feng Dao didn't expect that this wave of political debate would eventually develop into a riot under the instigation of people with intentions.

There are many kinds of corrupt officials in this world, and there are many strange ways to corrupt them.

The most common and the most inferior is the goose plucking style, as long as there is something to ask him for help, no matter who it is, no matter what it is, no matter how much money there is, he will reach out, this kind of corrupt official is often a grasp of one accurate, but also the most eye-catching.

Middle-class corrupt officials are more "elegant", and their way of embezzling ink is quite knowledgeable. For example, if someone wants to give a gift, they go to the antique shop and buy a pair of calligraphy and paintings at a high price, and then give the calligraphy and painting to the official, and after the official receives the calligraphy and painting, he will return the calligraphy and painting to the store and take the money away.

This kind of corrupt official, generally not obvious, only when he thinks it is safe, generally the number of shots is small, once he shoots, the value is greater, and usually, life is very restrained, will not show his wealth, so it is difficult to be discovered.

And the most high-class corrupt official, he is not greedy for ink at all, and even poorer than the Qing officials, he pays attention to courtesy, righteousness, honesty, filial piety and loyalty, and is full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, as if he is an example of loyal ministers in the world.

In fact, this kind of official really does not do anything greedy for ink, he only cares for the officials under his command, and becomes the umbrella of those officials, and his way of making money comes from the sacrifice of the person who is cared for.

Feng Dao is a typical example of this kind of official.

After the riot, he could have stopped it in time, and if he couldn't do it, he could have presented it to the emperor, so that even though he was responsible for dereliction of duty and negligence, he was not guilty. (To be continued......)
