Chapter 227: Metropolitan Governor Zhu Youzhen
"Put the total! Oh no, the four cavalry guards and the people of the second battalion of Suncheon have taken over our barracks! β
"What did you say?!"
In the early morning of November 11, when the people of the capital did not know that the Gongshun Marquis Mansion was abolished, Tiance, Yulin, Longxiang, and Xiaocai Four Guards united the Daxing Camp and the Wanping Camp to take over the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Beijing Camp.
The soldiers and horses of the three major battalions in the capital began to gather in general, but when they all gathered, they found that the honorable officers of the previous commanders and battalions had disappeared one after another.
For a while, people in Beijing were uneasy, and the only sixteen people with no background could not find a backbone.
The entire Beijing camp fell into an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness, and in such an atmosphere, they were still unsuspectingly wearing cotton clothes and confronting the four cavalry guards.
"Squeak......
When the gate of the barracks opened, everyone looked at the gate anxiously, and the one who rode into the barracks was the right governor of the right army governor's mansion who had prepared early, Sun Yingyuan.
He rode on a tall warhorse, dressed in armor, and was followed by the iron cavalry of the Horsemen.
Accompanied by him leading people to ride horses into the barracks, the sixteen generals look at me, I look at you, I don't know whether to salute or not.
But at such a time, there was a man in his early twenties and seventeens who stood up and said:
"Zhou Yuji, the general commander of the left army of the fifth army camp, see Sun Dudu!"
"The ...... of the Right Army of the Fifth Military Battalion"
"The Left Army ...... of the Fifth Military Battalion"
"The former army of the five military camps...... See Sun Dudu! β
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuji, many generals began to stand in line and called Sun Yingyuan the governor of Sun.
At the same time, Sun Yingyuan bowed slightly, and said:
"Long live the will, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and the Beijing Camp are being renovated, and the Governor of the Hondu is here today to dismantle the Beijing Camp!"
As soon as Sun Yingyuan opened his mouth, he was shocked, and he opened his mouth to dismantle the three major battalions, which made many generals uneasy.
"But don't worry, anyone who is young and strong, hard-working and hard-working can stay and continue to eat military rations, but the place where they take up their posts will no longer be in the capital."
Sun Yingyuan gave them a shot of cardiotonic and announced at the same time:
"I see that everyone has almost arrived, so let's get started!"
The sudden retrenchment caught tens of thousands of people in Beijing off guard, and they never expected that Sun Yingyuan would execute it so quickly.
After all, the three battalions are known as 140,000 troops, and Sun Yingyuan dared to come and dismantle the four guards and two battalions, which is really a bit ......
They couldn't say it, because they also knew that the so-called 140,000 people were just listening, and there weren't actually many people in the entire Beijing camp.
Zhu Youzhen even understood how weak the Jingying was, so he directly asked Sun Yingyuan to lead the troops to dismantle, to put it bluntly, he didn't take the Jingying in his eyes.
The Beijing camp has always had the disadvantages of occupying labor and making false promises.
In a small battalion of 3,000 people, such soldiers can reach four or five hundred, and there are also disadvantages such as selling leisure and arranging exercises.
False impostor means that there is no such person in the army, and the generals, honors, eunuchs, and heroes use their own servants to pretend to be strong men in the army, and they receive a generous salary every month.
Historically, Li Banghua, a capable minister in the Donglin Party, took the initiative to ask for an order to investigate the Beijing camp, and recovered 10,000 soldiers who occupied the service, and cleared out 1,000 false soldiers.
In his recital of Chongzhen, he even said that although the strength of the three major battalions had more than 100,000 people, half of them were old and weak.
According to the usual practice, when there was a shortage of places in the Beijing army, the common people were allowed to apply for increases, and most of these old and weak people came in through bribes.
Li Banghua, a man who did not have any military power, relied on his courage to renovate the Beijing camp and personally examined the selection of soldiers.
The final result was that in the 140,000-strong Beijing battalion, Li Banghua only selected 10,000 commanders and 7,000 auxiliaries, and the remaining 36 battalions were old and weak and did not be eliminated.
That is to say, in the Beijing camp during the Chongzhen period, 140,000 soldiers and horses, at least 100,000 were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all related households that entered the door through the relationship between the lords and ministers, and only 17,000 people could fight, and the remaining 20,000 people were laid off without background.
This was the case during the Chongzhen period, and it was not bad during the Apocalypse, which is also the confidence of Zhu Youzhen to use the four cavalry guards and the two battalions of Daxing and Wanping to dismantle the Beijing camp.
Of course, it is not enough to just dismiss him, because this is how Li Banghua was cheated in history.
In the second year of Chongzhen, the suburbs of the capital were attacked by Jianyu, and Li Banghua selected 3,000 cronies who had been trained for a year to guard Tongzhou, 2,000 cronies to reinforce Jizhou, and he personally led various troops to be stationed outside the capital.
As a result, soon after, the Ministry of War issued an order for Li Banghua to withdraw with the Beijing camp to guard the women's wall, so the sentry did not dare to go far, and the internal and external news was interrupted.
At this time, Li Banghua asked the imperial court to guard against bandits, arrest spies, disband illegal gangs, and strictly prohibit the spread of rumors.
And because of the weak strength of the outer city of the Beijing Division, Li Banghua, as a civil official, took the initiative to ask to go out of the city, relying on the stone bridge to defend it, rather than the city wall.
But at this time, in order to regain power, the lords began to fabricate gossip and spread it into the palace, which made Chongzhen suspicious.
Li Shouqi, the governor of Xiangcheng at that time, also hated Banghua for overpowering him and took the opportunity to slander him.
At this time, Mangui's troops resisted Houjin's troops outside the Desheng Gate, and Li Banghua also ordered the city to light cannons to help Mangui, but somehow, the well-trained gunners of the Beijing camp on weekdays carried Mangui's barracks to bombard, and accidentally injured many soldiers of Mangui.
After this incident appeared, all the officials in the government and the opposition also talked about it one after another, and there were also people in the Donglin Party who were not used to Li Ruhua, who was a practical person, and not too many people came forward to protect him, so Chongzhen had no choice but to dismiss the official and let him return to his hometown to live.
Since then, those who have taken over have taken Banghua as a lesson, and most of them have been conservative and tolerant of traitors, and there is no way to talk about military politics.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that the shelling of the Mangui military camp was done by Xungui under the influence of his past.
After all, at that time, Li Banghua wanted to hold Tongzhou and Jizhou, and sent out 5,000 of his cronies, and most of the rest were officers and generals who were implicated in the lords.
So Zhu Youzhen learned this lesson, and his order to Sun Yingyuan was to dismantle the Beijing camp, and then completely disperse it.
Those who dare to make trouble will be headed in the West Market!
With Li Banghua's experience, Zhu Youzhen didn't want to let other people mix in the army.
For this reason, Zhu Youzhen even gave Sun Yingyuan an order, that is, all the soldiers in the Beijing camp could be abolished at the necessary time, and each person should be repatriated after being paid a one-year military salary according to the military salary of the Beijing camp.
With Zhu Youzhen's military order, Sun Yingyuan became even more bold to do things, he wanted to dismiss everyone in the Beijing camp, but the appearance of Zhou Yuji just now gave him an inexplicable feeling.
He always felt that this Zhou Yuji gave him a sense of closeness, so when he commanded the army to begin to dismantle the Beijing camp, Sun Yingyuan called Zhou Yuji to the front and said:
"Where are you from, and have there ever been any noble people in your ancestors?"
"Under the mark, he is now from Jinzhou, and his original hometown is now Suining Fenghu Mountain, which is now in the south of the country, and there has never been a prominent person in his ancestors, and the highest is only the official of Jinzhou Wei Baihu."
Zhou Yuji saluted and answered honestly, while Sun Yingyuan heard that he had no background, so he nodded with satisfaction and said:
"His Royal Highness announced that I would abolish the Beijing camp, and then divide the Beijing camp into five military battalions, three thousand battalions, Shenji battalions, Xuanwu battalions, Huangcheng battalions, and Zhangwu battalions...... Wait for the straight six battalions. β
"In your opinion, how many people can be left in this camp?"
"According to the standard, six thousand!" Zhou Yuji replied straightforwardly, and said:
"Except for the six thousand young men with no background, the rest should all be dismissed!"
Zhou Yuji is not stupid, he knows that Sun Yingyuan is giving himself a chance, and he also wants to find a career for himself.
For his upper path, Sun Yingyuan also nodded with satisfaction, and then said:
"You will start this retrenchment, and if it is done, you will be the general of the 3,000 battalions."
"Mark the grace of Xie Dudu's promotion!" Young Zhou Yuji knelt down on one knee excitedly and returned the salute loudly.
"Whether it works out or not depends on you." Sun Yingyuan got up, glanced at Zhou Yuji meaningfully, and then turned to leave.
"Congratulations to the Governor!" Zhou Yuji sang loudly, and then waited for Sun Yingyuan to leave before slowly getting up.
He turned to look at the various troops in the capital camp who were gradually driven and concentrated, and then his hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the knife......
"Curse the Lord! Depose the Gongshun Hou Mansion privately! Isn't this contempt for Emperor Cheng Zuwen?! β
When Sun Yingyuan found a good helper for the dismantling of the Beijing camp, in the Imperial Palace, Gao Panlong was facing many ministers and Zhu Youxiao on the dragon chair to impeach Zhu Youzhen.
Last night, the matter of Gongshun Houfu fermented, and everyone knew that Zhu Youzhen deposed Wu Ruyin's title and directly demoted this Houfu, which had been inherited for two hundred years, to a common people.
The reason why the news was transmitted so quickly was also because early this morning, Zhang Weixian and many other nobles came to the court.
The reason why they came was simple, either to coerce or to see the attitude of the emperor.
If the emperor also supports King Qi, then there is no way, Xungui's foundation is not enough for His Royal Highness King Qi to toss.
Facts have proved that Zhu Youzhen, Zhu Youxiao, and many civil officials still underestimate the waste of the lords, and they have all been kicked in the face by Zhu Youzhen, and even some of the uncles will be deprived of their titles in the next generation, but they still dare not be presumptuous.
Zhu Youzhen's arrangement was too dense and the reaction was too fast, and the only hole card for the lords was the Beijing camp, but when they recalled all the noble children last night, they didn't want to think that the genius had just dawned, and Sun Yingyuan suddenly appeared in the capital and led the troops to the Beijing camp.
What is the level of the Jingying, can the lords know?
Just look at the number of 140,000, but if the fight really starts, I am afraid that before the early dynasty starts, it will be beaten down by all four cavalry guards.
Without Jingying, what hole cards does Xungui have?
Salt merchants?
Don't laugh, if they really dare to agitate the salt merchants, Zhu Youzhen is estimated to be happy to death.
What was the fate of Liao Shang? There is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who doesn't know.
The result of Zhu Youzhen's enduring the three collaborations with the Liao Shang was that this matter was particularly bad, and once the merchant committed a crime, he could pull out the matter.
Not to mention a small number of people, when the Liao merchants were concerned, Wen Chen said that, but Wen Chen was slapped in the face by the Liao merchants, and finally was severely ridiculed by Zhu Youzhen's military newspaper.
If the businessman dares to commit a crime again, Zhu Youzhen will have no possibility of being afraid, that is, he will directly draw a knife.
This time, Zhang Weixian and others can see clearly that they can't fight Zhu Youzhen with the power of Xunchen alone, and it is impossible for them to fall to Wenchen, because they have too little capital in their hands.
Wenchen also didn't look down on the soon-to-be-abolished Jingying at all.
But this is not to say that Wenchen will not take care of them, on the contrary, Wenchen will definitely take care of them.
Without him, if Zhu Youzhen reformed the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, abolished the Tianxia Guard, and reorganized the Beijing camp, then the civilian officials could really only be killed.
Even if Zhu Youzhen has mastered more than sixty percent of the military power in the world at present, at least thirty percent of them are on the side of civilian officials, and the rest of them can be wooed by those who are wavering.
The reason is that the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has no prestige at all, and since the change of Tumubao, the military department of the Logistics Management Office of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has sprung up, and has long seized the military power of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.
Now Zhu Youzhen is asking for the reform of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Wenchen do not know what the requirements are, but they know a little.
If the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies revives, the military department will be reduced to a logistics office again, and even the logistics office will not be able to line up, because the Imperial Horse Supervisor will take care of everything.
Without the name of controlling the military power, the thirty percent of the military power in the hands of the civilian officials is just a matter of eliminating it with a few orders.
They won't do anything about rebellion, because they can't push a backbone.
They just wanted to contain Zhu Youzhen and let him not go too far.
However, it can also be seen from their thoughts that they have gradually begun to fear Zhu Youzhen.
From the beginning, they wanted Zhu Youzhen to quickly become a vassal, and then as soon as Zhu Youzhen left the capital, they panicked, and let Zhu Youzhen serve the Beijing as a vassal several times in a row.
After that, they still wanted to take Zhu Youzhen's military power, but now, it is impossible for them to remove Zhu Youzhen's military power, but they just want to contain Zhu Youzhen and maintain the current balanced situation.
However, in such a situation, there are always some people who are willing to be gunmen for Xungui, and this person is Gao Panlong and others in Donglin who only know how to fight against the same party.
He loudly impeached Zhu Youzhen in the Imperial Palace, ignoring Zhu Youxiao's slightly frowning brows.
"The resumption of Liao is over, and the official position of the king of Qi to restore the general manager of Liao has been cancelled, but the king of Qi can still command the soldiers and horses such as Shangzhi and Gongwei battalions at will, and the minister has never heard of it, and the prince of any dynasty can privately transfer soldiers and horses without going through the military department and the emperor!"
"Hooray! If the King of Qi dares to depose the Gongshun Hou Mansion today, will he be in chaos tomorrow?! β
Gao Panlong's tone was sad, kneeling on top of the gold bricks, holding a wat board, which made people think that Zhu Youzhen had rebelled.
"Hooray! Chen Wan Yanyang seconded the proposal, please long live the order of the Han general to go to the Yanshan camp, and ask the king of Qi to Fengjing to become a vassal! β
Wan Yanyang also stood up, and at this moment, the meaning of Fengjing has changed, which can be said to be a disguised trap.
"It's a ridiculous joke!"
At this time, the officials of the Qi Wang Party took the initiative to come out, holding the wat board and said loudly:
"Everyone knows that His Royal Highness the King of Qi is dedicated to the public, and besides, if you want to rebel, why not when the emperor is in power? Why is it delaying until now? β
"Hooray! Please cure Gao Panlong, ten thousand words to promote the sin of dividing the heavenly family! β
"Long live, ministers and others seconded the ......"
For a time, among the hundreds of ministers in the Imperial Palace, nearly one in ten officials stood up, including the Qi Wang Party and the Eunuch Party, in short, they all knew that unless the emperor expressed his position, he must stand on the side of the King of Qi.
The stronger the King of Qi became, the more correct their choice was.
The worse the parties are suppressed, the more the vacated seats will have a chance for them to sit on them.
"Hooray! Minister......"
"Okay......" Seeing that Gao Panlong, Wan Yanyang and a group of Donglin Wenchen were still going to say, Zhu Youxiao stopped impatiently.
As soon as he opened his mouth, many ministers closed their mouths in an instant, waiting to see what he said.
However, it did not disappoint the officials of the Qi Wang Party and the Eunuch Party, and Zhu Youxiao immediately said after speaking:
"I know about the deposition of the Marquis of Gongshun, and his third son Wu Weihua smuggled ordnance, stole and sold gunpowder and armor in the Beijing camp to fund the northern captives, and the king of Qi did nothing wrong."
"In addition, the transfer of troops and horses, this is also my permission."
Speaking of which, Zhu Youxiao was ready to summarize this matter, so he took a deep breath and said:
"Decree, from now on, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will be reorganized, and the five armies will be changed to the four armies of the east, west, north and south, plus the navy, as well as the upper and straight."
"The four armies and the navy are the five armies, and together with the Shangzhi, each has a governor, and above the governor of the five armies, there is a special metropolitan governor to control the Chinese and foreign military, and the troops and horses of the Shangzhi can be mobilized."
"Talking about merit again, the first battle of the Liao War, the first merit of the King of Qi, temporarily acting as the governor of the capital of the five armies, and the governor of the capital."
"Add the king of Qi to the general Rong of the imperial horse supervisor, and then grant the king of Qi the right to open the mansion, the Ministry of Industry began to discuss with the king of Qi, and quickly build the palace of the king of Qi in the capital."
"Long live itβ" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, all the ministers except for the Qi Wang Party and the Eunuch Party bowed to the ground and shouted no.
"Hooray! Since the founding of the country, our dynasty has never had the post of governor of the five armies, let alone grant the prince the right to open the government? β
"Hooray! The Governor of the Five Armies should be led by the military department, how can he ask the prince to lead it on his behalf? β
"Hooray! The tax of the imperial horse supervisor is comparable to the national treasury, how can it be handed over to the king of Qi? β
"Hooray......
Zhu Youxiao's will, like a hornet's nest, everyone began to go up and express various opinions.
The reason why they are like this is also because although Zhu Youzhen has the right to supervise the horses, go up, and guard the camp, he has no name.
At present, Zhu Youxiao means not only to recognize this name, but also to increase this power, and it is strange that Wenchen does not object.
Especially Kaifu, what does Kaifu represent? That is to represent a small court.
To put it mildly, if the ministers of the court are overwhelmed, this small court can immediately replace the big court and run the Ming Dynasty.
In other words, Zhu Youxiao is actually ready to start innovating.
This move can be said to have offended the interests of the gentry and merchants, and except for the satisfaction of the common people and the imperial power and the nascent King of Qi, no other force will be satisfied.
"I've made up my mind!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers in the palace and said in a tough tone.
"Since Banzai insists on doing so, please allow me to resign!"
Gao Panlong shouted loudly, and looked at Zhu Youxiao angrily, and Zhu Youxiao was also stunned.
And this kind of good thing?
"Accurate!" Zhu Youxiao agreed without thinking about it, he had long been fed up with this old boy being sloppy and impeaching him indiscriminately, and now he was just done.
After that, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that Gao Panlong and the others would regret it, so he got up and prepared to leave, leaving behind the weeping party ministers in the palace.
After walking out of the Imperial Palace and sitting on the chariot, Zhu You proofread Wei Zhongxian, who came up next to him, and explained:
"Let people ask my younger brother the official positions of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies after the reform, and who the official positions will promote, and make a list."
"Slave and maid lead the order......" Wei Zhongxian responded with a weak heart, and the reason why he was weak was because the emperor gave the king of Qi too much power.
Throughout the ages, there is really only Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who can have such power, and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion may not be as good as Zhu Youzhen's Qi Palace.
At most, Tiance Mansion is the general military affairs inside and outside the Tang Dynasty, but the logistics also needs the help of other forces in the Tang Dynasty.
But the Qi Palace's Mansion is different, the taxes of the Imperial Horse Supervisor are almost comparable to the entire Six Ministries and Five Temples, and it can be said that Zhu Youxiao gave his younger brother all the power of another Ming Dynasty.
Except for the name of an emperor, Zhu Youzhen is really no different from the emperor.
"Still too young......"
Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Youxiao vaguely, thought about the age of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
It is estimated that throughout the ages, this brother can be so messy......
And Wei Zhongxian's idea is actually Zhu Youzhen's idea.
When Jinyiwei rushed eight hundred miles and delivered the holy decree of Zhu Youxiao in the capital to Zhu Youjian an hour later, he immediately felt how "heavy" the holy decree in his hand was.
"Hoo ......"
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youzhen, who was at the door of the main hall of the Yamen of the Imperial Horse Prison of the Yanshan Battalion, respectfully put the holy decree into the wooden box prepared by Lu Wenzhao.
After seeing Lu Wenzhao order someone to put away the holy decree, Zhu Youzhen spoke:
"I can't live up to my brother's trust."
"Draft the note, and fill in the official positions of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies with your name."
"Yes!" When Lu Wenzhao heard this, he immediately ordered someone to move the table, personally spread out the new official list of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies that Zhu Youzhen had written overnight last night, and wrote Zhu Youzhen's name on the two columns of the Metropolitan Governor and the Shangzhi Governor.
Zhu Youzhen watched Lu Wenzhao write his name, and then said:
"Promote Sun Yingyuan to the governor of the Eastern Army, Qin Bangping to the governor of the Western Army, Man Gui to the governor of the Northern Army, Qi Jin to the governor of the Southern Army, and Huang Long to the naval governor."
"Qin Liangyu was promoted to the general army of Sichuan, Ma Xianglin was promoted to the general army of Yunnan, Qin Banghan was the general soldier of Guizhou, Qin Minping was the general soldier of Duogan, and Qin Yiming was the general soldier of Wusizang."
"Qi Yuangong is the general soldier of Guangdong, Qi Yuanfu is the general soldier of Fujian, and Qin Gongming is the general soldier of Guangxi."
"Li Rubai is the general soldier of Shaanxi, Lu Qin is the general soldier of Shanxi, and Yang Zhaoji is the general soldier of Hexi."
"He Shixian is the general soldier of Liaodong, You Shigong is the general soldier of Shandong, and Qi Yuanbi is the general soldier of Zhejiang."
"Zhang Jixian is the general soldier of Henan, Liu Dao is the general soldier of Huguang, and Du Wenhuan is the general soldier of Jiangxi."
"Sun Shoufa is the general soldier of the Northern Zhili, and Fan Ming is the general soldier of the Southern Zhili!"
Under Zhu Youzhen's arrangement, the general troops of the two capitals and fifteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty in the next few years have been decided.
After deciding on the candidate, Zhu Youzhen added:
"I can continue to fill in the name with the official position I have set, and the number of soldiers and horses in each province is also set."
"The standing outer guard battalion is four in one province, mainly responsible for garrison, and this is the three battalions of soldiers and horses that can be directly mobilized by the general army."
"In addition to these three battalions of soldiers and horses, each governor's office has thirty guard battalions directly under it, a total of one hundred and twenty."
"The Shangzhi Gongwei battalion has been expanded to twenty-six, sixteen in the north and ten in the south."
"In addition, Daning Sanwei was reorganized into Daning Wei, Yanshanwei, and Duoyanwei, and merged into Shangzhi Sixteen Wei."
"The three guards of Longjiang, Henghai, and the navy were directly merged into the navy, and the navy recruited nine more guards, a total of twelve guards."
Zhu Youzhen explained everything that needed to be explained, but Lu Wenzhao said after hearing it:
"Your Highness, you have sent Liu Daocheng and Fan Ming, who are the commanders of the Xiao Cavalry Guard and the Long Xiang Guard, to the outside world......
"In this way, you have to find a commander for these two guards, and you seem to have missed General Cao Wenzhao and his Duogan battalion."
Lu Wenzhao's question, Zhu Youzhen said without the slightest hesitation:
"Cao Wenzhao and his Duogan camp have other uses for me, as for Qin Yiming and Qin Minping, they will also temporarily lead Duogan and Wusizang, and when the matter of Hetao and Nuergan is resolved, I will solve Wusizang."
"In that case, the humble position will write the other people who have been arranged before to other official positions."
Lu Wenzhao responded with his head bowed, and Zhu Youzhen also squinted his eyes and said:
"Write, send it to the royal brother after writing, this big tomorrow, it's time to wash the dirt......"
Bad news......
I want to seal the ninth here, because at that time the bicycle was injured in the right leg and right hand, as well as the right waist, so I sent the computer back at that time, and now I am lying in the hospital, using the mobile phone to code words, so the two have to use the computer.
After the operation on the 8th, if the 9th can walk, then go home to rest for two days, and on the 11th start to recover two shifts.
If the lockdown continues, I can only see if I can get out of the hospital and find an esports hotel to quarantine......
