Chapter 52: Asking for Help

Looking at the soldiers whose emotions were mobilized, Li Banghua felt a little relieved in his heart.

No matter what they are excited about, as long as they are willing to believe their own words, it will not be difficult to rectify the Beijing camp.

"Shen Jing, the people who take you will distribute the salaries of these soldiers."

Shen Jing was originally a Jinyiwei Qianhu, and his family was born in Jinyiwei for generations, with a clean family, fair and honest, and loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

This time, he was responsible for leading people to distribute the salary, and it was the team he led, but the rest of the people who distributed the salary, although they were all Jinyiwei, were not his original subordinates, but the people carefully selected by Lao Zhu from Jinyiwei, and there were even many people who were at the same level as him.

"Yes!"

After Shen Jing responded, he did not let the soldiers come up to receive the salary as he did just now, but asked each battalion to bring the general to carry back the salary and silver of each battalion.

And after they went back, Shen Jing and the others also followed these generals in twos and threes.

Li Banghua's rectification in the past two days has already split and reorganized the originally loose Beijing battalion, and according to the situation of the source of troops, ten regiments and battalions have been formed, which has directly weakened the influence of the original generals on the non-commissioned soldiers to the minimum.

This is because Li Banghua did not reduce the positions of the original personnel, plus the people who were laid off also received double military salaries, and Li Banghua, who was seconded, did not forcibly bring them back.

Therefore, those nobles thought that Li Banghua was showing favor to them, and Li Banghua had Lao Zhu's will in his hands, so they did not hinder Li Banghua too much from reorganizing the Beijing camp.

The Beijing camp, which was restructured by Li Banghua, had 500 people under the command of each commander.

It's just that after staring at these generals and distributing all the money, Shen Jing and the brocade guards did not return to the high platform, but directly stood in front of the soldiers of the Beijing camp.

After the salary was over, Li Banghua took the opportunity to announce the appointment of Shen Jing and others.

These people are the new camp officers specially selected by Lao Zhu, but unlike the previous camp officers, the positions they are responsible for have changed slightly, they are not only responsible for recruiting new soldiers, but also responsible for corruption and military discipline in the army.

Compared to before, they have less power and no power to influence the army.

But the things in charge are more detailed, and the affairs of the soldiers, from clothing and armor to corruption and salary, can be reported directly to them.

When he heard about the duties of the new camp officer appointed by Li Banghua, some of the nobles present who were thoughtful suddenly changed their faces.

These camp officials went directly to the bottom, but they could report directly to Li Banghua and even to the emperor.

If they are allowed to take root in Beijing, won't their future financial routes be completely cut off?

Li Guozhen, the commander of the Beijing camp, who had been standing silently next to him, looked at Li Banghua, and his eyes became a little gloomy.

He thought that Li Banghua did not use the nobles in the army, and he also let those seconded soldiers go because he wanted to compromise with him, but he didn't expect to wait for him here.

It is a good means to reform the military system and then directly insert manpower into the bottom.

But if Li Banghua thought that just by reorganizing the Beijing camp, he could abolish his control of the Beijing camp, he would inevitably underestimate him Li Guozhen.

Li Guozhen's eyes lowered, hiding the coldness in his eyes, and the dangerous plan that he had already planned to give up resurfaced in his heart.

Li Banghua also knew about the cold gaze behind him, after all, it was not difficult for Li Guozhen to guess what he wanted to do.

However, he did not take Li Guozhen in his eyes, and from the moment Li Guozhen did not dare to come out and face to face and obstruct him from reorganizing the Beijing camp, Li Guozhen had already lost.

If he can honestly cooperate with himself as the governor of Beijing, maybe he can still be his Xiangcheng uncle, but if he has other thoughts, then he will not be far from death.

After putting aside Li Guozhen's affairs for the time being, Li Banghua announced to the soldiers of the Beijing camp that from tomorrow onwards, the soldiers will begin daily drills, and those with excellent results can choose to join the pioneer battalion, and their military salaries will be doubled.

In this way, the soldiers below who had just received the silver were even more imposing.

After the soldiers of the three battalions were disbanded, Li Guozhen asked Zhang Changying, the commander of the five military battalions, to conspire and discuss some things, and no one knew what was discussed, but judging from the looks of the two, it was obvious that they broke up unhappily.

……

The next day.

Ding Xiu and Pei Lun, who had been secretly investigating for three days, led people to the door of an official early in the morning after receiving Cao Huachunxin's order.

"Just starting with this?"

Ding Xiu glanced sideways at Pei Lun beside him, with a slight eagerness in his tone.

"The host and guest of the Ministry of Rites, the Qing official Shilang, Wang Cong, the real power is the fifth grade."

Pei Lun flipped out his small notebook, looked at it, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's start with him." ”

"You're welcome to press me."

Seeing that Pei Lun had no objections, Ding Xiu didn't have the slightest scruples, and directly asked people to go up and smash the door.

dignified and upright, when did the Qing official of the Ministry of Rites ever slam the door so rudely.

In just a moment, a family member opened the door and rushed out, looking at the large number of Ding Xiu and others, there was no fear in his heart.

This is in the capital, unless they want to rebel, no one dares to kill people from the government in the capital.

"Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall? How dare you come and smash the door of Lord Langzhong? ”

Looking at the menacing family, Ding Xiu laughed, then directly took out the token on his body and said, "Ding Xiu, the chief banner of Jinyi Wei, was ordered to investigate the case." ”

When Jia Ding opened the door just now, he saw the flying fish suit on Ding Xiu's body, and at this moment, he heard Ding Xiu say that he was here to investigate the case, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Check ...... What case is being investigated? My lord is law-abiding, what case have you come to us to investigate? ”

Ding Xiu was too lazy to talk nonsense with this family, and after revealing his identity, he directly pushed people away and led people in.

The family on the side looked at the fierce Jinyi guard, wanted to stop but didn't dare to do it, and shouted for a while.

Just when there was a lot of noise, Wang Cong, who was alarmed, rushed over with someone.

"Stop!"

Wang Cong stopped his family, then walked quickly to Ding Xiu and the others, and asked, "Are you from Jinyiwei?" Why did you break into the official's mansion? ”

Seeing that the main lord came out, Ding Xiu politely clasped his fists and saluted, "You are Lord Wang Cong." ”

"Ding Xiu, the chief banner of the lower official Jinyi Guard, has seen Lord Wang."

After the politeness, Ding Xiu was not so polite, and said straight to the point: "The lower official was ordered to come to meet Lord Wang and ask Lord Wang for something. ”

"Asking for something?"

Although Jin Yiwei has restrained a lot under Chongzhen over the years, they are the emperor's minions after all, and they are not afraid when they are approached by Jin Yiwei.

Therefore, Wang Cong was also a little weak-hearted, but he asked himself that he didn't seem to have done anything recently, so he wasn't very afraid, so he directly opened his mouth and asked: "I don't know what it is, I actually need to work for your Jinyi Guard?" ”

"Lord Wang is really a noble person, how forgetful."

Ding Xiu shook his head lightly and said, "Four days ago, Lord Wang seconded a hundred soldiers from the Beijing camp in the name of repairing the pavilion, I wonder if the pavilion has been repaired now?" ”
