Chapter Ninety-Nine: Knocking on the Nobles
The first wind and rain drifted away
Cao Huachun comprehended, bowed to Emperor Chongzhen, stepped forward and shouted: "The main and deputy battalions will stay, and the rest will go back to the camp to wait." ”
The orders were conveyed one after another, and the soldiers dispersed like a tide in battalions, leaving behind seventy-two officers and lieutenants of the 36th Battalion, who were also the higher ranks among the sons and daughters of the nobles.
These people basically have the impression that Emperor Chongzhen is a relational household, they are all relatives of the emperor, and they usually move around during the New Year's holidays.
Some of them are still very close to the deity, and they can be regarded as playmates.
It's a pity that they are all cowards who have no ability.
But that's normal!
It is said that there are no more than three generations of wealth, and this official is even more so.
There is nothing to do, there is no goal and motivation to struggle, just to live a peaceful and long life, how can they expect them to have any benefits?
It is to practice some kung fu of fist embroidery legs, and it is useless to go to the battlefield.
A small life is precious, where will you fight for life and death with the enemy?
That's why they fight traitors, often with a single touch.
Therefore, the Xungui group of the Ming Dynasty is bad in the hereditary, without crisis and mobility, there is no motivation to move forward.
Emperor Chongzhen believed that even if there was no change in the civil fort, the decline of the Xungui group was inevitable, and it was only a matter of time.
Because, there is a problem with the system.
In the center of the school field, Emperor Chongzhen squinted at the dragon's eye, staring straight down, but his mind was tumbling.
When a person is sick, he can be healed and let his body recover. When a country is sick, it needs to be healed and turned back into a positive one, and this is politics.
In politics, the left side is positive, and the right side is the meaning of percussion.
If the country is not right, it must keep beating with a small hammer to correct it, and this is the highest state of politics.
Therefore, it is said that governing the country is like cooking small fresh, which is the truth.
Now, Emperor Chongzhen's little hammer is aimed at the Xungui group and begins to beat them, trying to get them back on the right path.
At the same time, it is also because the current Xungui Group is a weak chicken at all, and it is a good opportunity to deal with it.
In the past, Xungui was still very awesome.
In the Ming Dynasty, the Gong, Hou, and Bo were the generals, and the military department was in charge of military administration, and the military conquest was under the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it was difficult for civilian officials to intervene in it.
In other words, the military power belongs to the emperor and the military generals and nobles, and the civilian officials are not in charge of the military.
However, after the Tumubao Incident, the nobles were scattered, and the military power was in the hands of the civilian officials of the Ministry of War, and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies was only an empty name and an imaginary number.
Now, it's even more unspeakable!
The military power was given to them, let alone leading the troops, they couldn't even get together the numbers.
How can this fight with others, and it is not at the mercy of others?
"Your Majesty, it's windy outside, do you want to give a lecture in the handsome hall?"
Zhu Chunchen, the governor of Beijing, entered the military camp since Emperor Chongzhen, except for kneeling and saluting, he has not spoken to him, and now he takes the opportunity to talk to show his loyalty.
But Emperor Chongzhen didn't seem to hear it, and just looked at the noble battalion general in front of him blankly.
Actually, it's not that I didn't hear it, it's to clean him up.
When Jiashen was in trouble, the deity wrote an edict and ordered Zhu Chunchen to lead the army to assist the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
But this dog day is good, the rebels have not yet entered the city, immediately sacrifice Chaoyangmen, and Chen Yan to persuade him to enter, and was later executed by Li Zicheng.
I think that Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, was the head of the "Jingnan" military ministers, and his life was brilliant, and since the Yongle Emperor, the family was deeply trusted by the royal family and enjoyed all the glory.
But his reputation was ruined by this dog's day, how could Emperor Chongzhen bypass him?
Today, I came here with such thoughts.
"Cheng Guogong, do we have a question for our family?"
Cao Huachun, who was instructed on the way, narrowed his eyes and asked Zhu Chunchen in a shrill voice.
"Father-in-law Cao, please speak, the last general will know everything."
In front of Cao Huachun, the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, especially in the presence of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Chunchen did not dare to be presumptuous, and replied with a sneer.
"There are 500,000 people in Beijing since the Taizu period, and there are 200,000 after the Jiajing Dynasty was streamlined, but the monthly military salary reported by you is 120,000 people, why is there only 40,000 people today?"
Hearing Cao Huachun's words, Zhu Chunchen was not calm, and he panicked in his heart.
Damn, it's not a day or two, you old gelding dog is in charge of the Jingying Rongzheng, and you actually ask this kind of question?
It's not uncommon to eat empty salaries, and you still ask this kind of unspoken rule openly, obviously to trap me to death?
Secretly looking at Emperor Chongzhen's expressionless dead face, Zhu Chunchen blushed and hurriedly replied:
"Father-in-law Cao, since the governor of Cao Du settled in the Beijing camp, he has drastically rectified it, and now many old and weak people have been dismissed, so the Beijing camp has been streamlined."
It's hard for him to be in a hurry, and he actually came up with such words in a hurry.
It's just a little shameless, and I had a lot of trouble with Cao Wenzhao just now.
But I can't take care of it so much, as long as I deal with the past first, the emperor will scold him at most.
It's not the first time either!
What's more, the matter of eating empty salaries in Beijing has been left since the British public period, and it belongs to one term after another, which is a confused account and cannot be found out.
"Father-in-law Cao, in the end, there will be 23,000 people in the Beijing camp, but in fact, there are 55,000 empty salaries, and there are less than 40,000 people in the Beijing camp."
Who is the flat-headed brother Cao Wenzhao, that is an iron head, how can Zhu Chunchen open his mouth?
If you don't make it clear today, the reorganization of the Beijing camp is a joke!
Hehe...... Hehe......
Emperor Chongzhen, who was originally silent, suddenly stood up, and a signature sneer came out of his mouth, which made all the nobles present creepy.
Your Majesty, this seems to be going to be serious!
"Zhu Chunchen, Jiannu entered the Kou three times, the Liukou rebelled for eight years, the Beijing division was exposed in vain, the people withered, and the people of Li were displaced.
In the case of the lack of money in the treasury and the inability to requisition and transfer, what is the purpose of self-reflection and frugality to supply the needs of the Beijing camp?
Are you worthy of me and the people of the world? ”
Emperor Chongzhen pointed at Zhu Chunchen, and the whole person trembled like a pendulum, looking angry and attacking.
"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty of capital crimes, and he has lived up to the emperor's love!
They all complained that the ministers were shallow and couldn't bear the heavy responsibility, so that they were unable to rectify the chronic diseases in the Beijing camp, and the ministers were ashamed of the emperor! ”
Zhu Chunchen was frightened by Emperor Chongzhen's expression, and fell to his knees, hurriedly admitting his mistake.
It's just that only he knows if this is the case.
In fact, he has used this trick many times and tried it repeatedly.
It's a pity that people have changed.
"Coming, Zhu Chunchen, as the governor of Beijing, didn't want to serve the country, but instead used his hands on Beijing, ate empty salaries, and filled the numbers with the old and weak, which made me really disappointed!
Jin Ge went to the post of governor of Beijing, went to the prison of the Criminal Department, and handed it over to the three divisions for trial and discussed his crimes! ”
Zhu Chunchen was so shocked when he heard Emperor Chongzhen's words that he couldn't close his mouth, his legs were weak, he collapsed to the ground, and was dragged away by several Han generals who were on order.
The entire school field was suddenly silent, and the nobles were stunned and confused, almost everyone was thinking: This, what is the situation?
