Chapter Ninety-Seven: Seeking Justice

The first wind and rain drifted away

Actually, seriously speaking, there is nothing wrong with Gao Shiming's words.

Jingying is the self-reserved place of the nobles, and their sons and nephews all serve in Jingying or take temporary posts, and there are indeed many of their old subordinates there.

Alas, what's the use of that?

Isn't it a real soldier who has killed people on the battlefield and seen blood?

said that he was an old subordinate, but he was just a group of servants who were eating and waiting to die.

Emperor Chongzhen had no doubt that the so-called old subordinates of the nobles were a scum in the hands of Cao Bianjiao, and they did not dare to resist at all.

Even, it's too late.

Because, the rectification of the Beijing camp was originally beneficial to ordinary soldiers, and it was only aimed at honors.

This time, Li Banghua and Cao Bianjiao were responsible for reorganizing the Beijing camp, Li Banghua was mainly working on food and equipment, and Cao Bianjiao was responsible for cutting troops and selecting generals.

One is in charge of the text, and the other is in charge of the military.

They are all tenacious people, especially Cao Bianjiao, this is the first flat-headed brother in the Ming Dynasty, who dares to cause trouble, is not afraid of things, and does things boldly and resolutely.

It has only been less than three days since he entered the Beijing camp, and he immediately opened his mouth to the Beijing camp that has always been accustomed to occupying the army and making false moves.

Occupation means that soldiers serve free labor for the noble generals, and they must help with good things at home and farm work in the fields.

As for the remuneration, don't mention it!

They are all working **, and it is the best reward to be able to continue to stay in the barracks.

There were as many as four or five hundred such soldiers in a small battalion.

And there are many drawbacks such as selling idle and package exercises.

Hypocrisy means that there are not so many people in the army, and the generals, relatives, eunuchs, and heroes use their own servants to pretend to be strong men in the army, and they receive a generous salary every month.

As soon as Cao Bianjiao passed, regardless of 3721, he immediately made an inventory, recovered more than 10,000 soldiers who occupied the service, and cleared out more than 20,000 false soldiers.

These, Cao Bianjiao acted on orders, although the nobles complained, but they endured it alive.

But the soldiers below, that is really secretly happy.

After all, it's really tiring to do unpaid work for a long time.

The second thing Cao Bianjiao did was to lay off troops.

The strength of the three battalions is nominally more than 100,000 people, but half of them are old and weak.

According to the usual practice, when there is a shortage of places in the Beijing camp, they are allowed to apply for additional jobs, and most of these old and weak people come in through bribes.

Cao Bianjiao personally examined and taught the soldiers of each battalion, and those who were not young and strong were not hired as regular soldiers, and all of them were swept into the auxiliary soldier sequence.

In this way, 10,000 regular soldiers and 7,000 strong men were selected from the three major battalions, and their military salaries were twice as much as those of auxiliary soldiers, and they were paid three taels of silver a month.

But even so, in fact, in the eyes of the flat-headed brother Cao Bianjiao, they are also some weak soldiers.

And most of the auxiliary soldiers, Cao Bianjiao ordered that each commander has five hundred soldiers under his command, and selects five people from them every half month.

The age must be under 25 years old, and the strength must be more than 250 pounds. The skill must be able to bow and arrow firearms, and be selected and sent once a month to make up for the shortage of regular soldiers and strong men.

In this way, if you want to stay in Jingying, you must work hard.

The affairs of these low-level soldiers, although the nobles have lost some of their benefits, they can still accept it, and they can endure it any longer.

The problem is that they can't bear it anymore.

The three battalions led six adjutant generals, and the lower battalions were divided into thirty-six battalions, with a total of 366 officers, all of whom were basically the sons of nobles.

After all, this is the only chance for the noble children to climb up.

In the local area, there is no oil and water and the promotion is slow, who will go?

Go to the border gate, the two things are complete, but they don't dare.

That's a desperate place!

I know my own affairs, these young masters, which of them is not the treasure of their respective noble mansions?

What can you do in the military?

And the flat-headed brother Cao Bianjiao issued an order for the assessment of generals at the end of the month half a month after entering the Beijing camp.

This is embarrassing!

They are all related households, and they have some ability, and these people have a number in their hearts.

This surnamed Cao is doing this, is it clearly to embarrass them?

If you are angry, you have to vent.

But they didn't dare to find the head brother Cao Bianjiao.

Over the years, they have also heard of the prestige of General Cao, who is a murderer.

They are still in charge of these homework.

As a result, the soldiers below became the object of their anger.

Under the leadership of Zhao Linsheng, the son of Zhao Zhilong, the son of Xincheng Bozhao, several noble sons drank a little wine and beat their soldiers.

Unexpectedly, what was originally a small thing in their eyes was a big thing in the eyes of Brother Pingtou.

As a border general, Cao Bianjiao has always loved his soldiers, because this is a matter of life and death.

Without the support of the soldiers, swearing to serve their lives, on the battlefield, let alone winning the battle, whether they can come back alive is a question.

These questions are not understood by Xungui's children, but Cao Bianjiao understands.

As a result, military law is engaged.

So, in the process of law enforcement, the pampered Zhao Gongzi had one leg discounted.

Hit the small ones, come out of the old ones.

The nobles of the capital, who were worried about not saying anything, finally found an opportunity.

"They are asking the master to ask for guilt, and they want to force me to give an explanation?"

Emperor Chongzhen sorted out the matter and said something suspiciously.

Gao Shiming was so frightened that he looked down and counted the ants on the ground, but he didn't dare to answer.

Recently, the emperor's methods are really powerful, I'm afraid this time it will fall on the head of Xungui?

"Set up the camp in the West Mountain! I want to see, who gave them the guts? ”

Emperor Chongzhen instructed Gao Shiming, but he went back to the Qianqing Palace to change clothes.

Actually, Emperor Chongzhen knew about who gave them the guts.

That's the deity, and it's also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have always governed the country together with ministers, nobles, relatives, eunuchs, and generals to form a ruling group, among which the nobles and relatives who enjoy hereditary titles are the "own people" relied on by the royal family.

In addition to the Jingtai and Zhengde periods, there were border generals Shi Heng, Jiang Bin and others who were in charge of the army, and the troops such as the Beijing camp and the guard generals in the middle and late Ming Dynasty were all led by lords and relatives.

The deity attaches great importance to the role of the honorable relative.

On the Gyeonggi side, Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was the governor of Beijing, and his cousin Liu Wenbing, Marquis of Xinle, was assisted.

The important town of Caoyun Huai'an was guarded by Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing.

The Nanjing side was garrisoned by Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong, and handed over the Nanjing Caojiang Water Division, which was customarily controlled by the civil and military commanders, to Liu Kongzhao, a sincere uncle.

It's a pity that I would have set my heart to the bright moon, but why did the bright moon shine on the ditch?

These nobles have failed to live up to the trust of the deity.

And now, Emperor Chongzhen has decided to seek justice for the deity.
