With the death of Emperor Zhengde, his black army also stepped down from the altar. Emperor Zhengde, the first emperor who was named Emperor Wuzong by the current emperor Jiajingye, was the best among the soldiers of the Black Legion.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the best army was the Jinyiwei, a spy agency around the emperor. Jinyiwei was established in the late period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and was nominally an army, but in fact it began to be a special army to monitor court officials and local people. Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born in the military, does not believe in absolutely loyal soldiers, let alone generals with heavy troops. But I can't replace them all at once, so I have to secretly monitor their every move. As time passed, Taizu Hongwu Ye Zhu Yuanzhang discovered a more important problem. These soldiers who lead the troops are not well-developed, and even if they have a certain amount of strength in their hands, they will not make good use of it. But those literati and civil officials who are usually powerless, they not only have brains but also strategies. I am not afraid of the people who have soldiers in their hands, the civilian officials who usually chatter, and the ordinary people who usually complain, I am afraid that they will join forces. With the contribution of the soldiers, the command of the brains, and the reluctance of the common people to wave the flag and shout in the back, this is the most fatal thing. That's how he got it, and he knows what's at stake. In order to disrupt the balance, he not only made full use of the contradictions between civil and military officials to escalate the situation intentionally or unintentionally, but also ostensibly implemented a policy of appeasement to the local people. can secretly establish a special army that directly obeys Zhu Yuanzhang himself. Their main function was to monitor the generals who held military power in various places, to keep an eye on the daily meetings and chats of civilian officials, and to monitor the speech and movements of the common people at all times.

During the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu, the Jinyi guards did not have the right to try and execute, they only had the right to scout and monitor. All the information was reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, who was a master of Hong Wuye, and everything was decided by Zhu Yuanzhang on how to deal with it. If Jin Yiwei dared to talk nonsense casually, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely use the most severe means to make this person who betrayed himself look good. At that time, the first batch of members of Jinyiwei were not only war orphans taken in by Zhu Yuanzhang, but also their own people who were absolutely loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang is using their absolute loyalty to him, coupled with not giving them actual power, so that they can give full play to their abilities at the same time, and at the same time, they can't worry that they are different from him.

Emperors of all dynasties liked to play conspiracy, and the highest level of playing conspiracy was balance. Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a bitter child, not only suffered hardships, but also worked as a monk and had to eat. He, the emperor, was brought down by his own hands, so he cherished it even more. Multiple identities made him better able to understand the minds of the emperors of previous dynasties, the ministers were too mediocre, and the emperors were too tired. If the ministers had one or two capable ministers, although the emperor would be relaxed, they would be difficult to control. They are either unruly or unruly, or they are highly accomplished, and in the end they will become an obstacle in the emperor's heart. The ministers are too chaotic, the emperor has to worry about big and small affairs every day, and the ministers are too united and will empty the emperor's power. Although from ancient times to the present, saints and emperors have always been full of what "kings and scholars rule the world together." Later, it was changed to "The king and his servants rule the world together." But these are all for some readers who don't understand politics and ordinary people, so that they can study with peace of mind and not waste too much energy on using their brains. Which emperor would give his power to his ministers? There have always been only two phenomena, if the monarch's power is concentrated, the ministers dare not have two hearts, and the court orders prohibitions. The king is the king, and the minister is the virtuous minister. If the second phenomenon is that the ministers have set aside the power of the king, then the minister is not a minister, and the king is not a king. This is a sign of the country's demise, the king is a faint king, and the ministers are traitors, rebellious ministers, and even rebels.

The emperor is also a human being, and he is also an ordinary person, and he can't really be a loner. Therefore, the emperor had to make full use of all the people and affairs available to him to divide and spy on his ministers. Tang Taizong Li Shimin used a good trick, he used Wei Zheng as a mirror, and let Wei Zheng criticize himself at will. He accepted it with an open heart, showing the generosity of the king and the virtuousness of the king. During the time of Tang Taizong, how many famous ministers were there in the court? Why choose Wei Zheng? In fact, Wei Zheng and most of the knowledgeable ministers at that time understood that Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was playing strategy. Who is Wei Zheng? It turned out to be a scholar and a Taoist priest. used to be a strategist who served in Wagangzhai, and later took refuge in Li Shimin's father, Tang Taizu Li Yuan. After Wei Zheng surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, he served as the Zhan Mansion of the Prince's Mansion to wash horses. The Zhan Mansion is an independent institution specially assigned to the crown prince, but in fact it has little actual power. But because they are close ministers of the crown prince, and the prince is the future emperor, their future is not bad. "Washing horses" is an official position, not that Wei Zheng really wants to wash the horses for the prince. "Washing horses" is a tutor who teaches classes for the prince and teaches the prince to read. Although his status was not high at that time, as soon as the crown prince became the emperor, Wei Zheng would be the emperor. It's a pity that the crown prince at that time was Li Shimin's brother Li Jiancheng, a loser who was doomed to failure. Li Jiancheng is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of his second brother Li Shimin's victory to return to Beijing, and is ready to launch the "Xuanwumen Change" with his good brother Li Yuanji to eliminate this biggest obstacle for himself. It's a pity that the matter was revealed, but Li Shimin took advantage of this opportunity to kill Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji in one fell swoop. Li Yuan, who saw his three sons killing each other, couldn't stand the blow anymore, and announced that he would give the Zen throne to his son Li Shimin, and he would be the emperor who didn't care about anything. Li Shimin used the "Xuanwumen Change" not only to eliminate his biggest opponent, but also to get the emperor's throne that he wanted the most. According to the usual practice, Li Jiancheng's family and his subordinates were to be killed together, and Li Shimin regretted Wei Zheng's knowledge, so he ordered Wei Zheng to be released. Wei Zheng not only did not die, but also became a big official. But Wei Zheng's reputation is no longer good, a person with backbone will not change the master repeatedly, and Li Jiancheng is not bad for Wei Zheng. If Wei Zheng had a conscience and loyalty, even if he did not commit suicide and martyrdom, he should return to the mountains and forests. Therefore, Wei Zheng, the minister, has no backbone and influence, and has become an ornament of the imperial court. Li Shimin used this ornament to pretend to be humble to the outside, isn't it just to buy people's hearts and win a good reputation as a Ming Jun. Wu Zetian is also a master in this area, not only can she confuse people, but the trained palace maid is also a master. It is said that when Wu Zetian was still a Zhaoyi, he secretly ordered people to look for helpless orphans outside the palace. Why orphan girls? Because they lack warmth and security without relatives, this kind of girl needs the most care from adults. As long as Wu Zetian makes good use of this time, he can make these girls believe in themselves completely, so as to work for themselves. Another advantage of orphan girls is that they have no worries and will not be burdened by their families. These girls later became Wu Zetian's ascension to the throne and became China's most powerful assistant to a female emperor. They are the famous "Women's Room", an organization with only code names and no names. Legend has it that these girls are not beautiful and moving, and they can sing and dance, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Not only can they know more, but they can also understand men's temper and character, and no man can resist their temptation. These "women" are even more powerful female killers, and they will never show mercy when they kill. Not only will they complete the task given to them by Wu Zetian, but they will also kill all the people who have seen them kill people. Only some girls who don't remember will be left behind and brought back to the training base to continue training. At that time, there was a turmoil, that is, the ministers did not dare to have beautiful maids in their homes, for fear of being a "women's room". The ministers would rather hold their old and ugly wives than get close to young and beautiful girls. At that time, ugly women became the safest and most popular women.

Zhu Yuanzhang established the Jinyi Guard to secretly monitor the dynamics of the DPRK and China, which immediately had a certain effect. However, related problems have arisen, and there will be loopholes in the strict organization, and a group of hooligans who pretend to be Jinyi Wei have appeared in Nanjing. They not only used this status to bully the market, but also blackmailed some officials. For this reason, Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a way that no one dared to pretend to, and specially allowed this army directly under his leadership to wear a "flying fish robe". The so-called "flying fish robe" is a uniform that looks a bit like a dragon robe, but the difference is that the flying fish on its pattern is not a dragon-like five-clawed one. Even if it wasn't a dragon robe, this "flying fish robe" didn't dare to make and wear it. Since then, the "Flying Fish Robe" and the Embroidered Spring Knife have become the iconic equipment of Jinyiwei, and no one dares to equip them except Jinyiwei.

After Ming Chengzu Zhu Di ascended the throne, he felt that this Jinyi Wei was only too easy to use, so he delegated more power to Jinyi Wei. Jinyiwei had his own exclusive yamen and the power to arrest and try officials. The "Imperial Prison" is Jinyiwei's own prison, and this place is even more terrifying than the prison of the Criminal Department. Since then, Jinyiwei has a series of rights such as surveillance, arrest, trial, detention, and execution, and has truly become a secret agency. In order to curb Jinyiwei and monitor Jinyiwei, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di established the East Factory when he delegated power to Jinyiwei. The full name of the East Factory is the East Investigation and Investigation Factory, which is an organization presided over by eunuchs. The original purpose was to secretly monitor Jinyiwei's law enforcement, and supervise Jinyiwei not to bully or exaggerate the situation. Later, the power of Dongchang also increased, and Jinyiwei and Dongchang secretly divided labor, and Jinyiwei supervised the military generals and civil organizations of the army. Dongchang was in charge of the officials of the DPRK and China and the local Haoqiang and scholars. During the time of Emperor Xianzong, that is, during the Chenghua period, Emperor Xianzong set up the West Factory to supervise Jinyiwei and the East Factory. The reputation of the West Factory is even more notorious, and they are more ruthless and vicious than Jinyiwei and the East Factory. Later, there was another inner factory, and he supervised the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factories. This Weisan Factory is the collective name of the secret service of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the black-clothed army in the Zhengde period, this Weisan Factory is the best unit. But when Wu Zong was in power, all the first and third factories had to shoot the sycophants of the black army. The Black Legion became the most powerful and powerful representatives. They can almost walk sideways on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, they can also mobilize any army at will, and they can even scold or insult any official. No one or a single yamen dared to meddle with their affairs.
