"By the order of the king's palace! In the past, the honorable, salt and tea were abolished, and the acres of fields under his command were measured by the officials of the Qi Wangfu and re-made! ”

November is destined to be an unquiet month.

Not only Beijing City, but also Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei in Nanjing City, received instructions from Jinyi Wei to stay in Nanjing.

For a time, the entire north and south were full of nobles, grass and trees.

In the Imperial Palace and Wenhua Hall in the capital, many Wenchen also forced the palace with resignation, but they were approved by Zhu Youxiao one by one.

Gao Panlong, who was clamoring for his resignation, shouted for his resignation in the Huangji Hall on the first day, and Zhu Youxiao issued an order to approve it the next day, and asked the Han general to go to his home, and after collecting the things, he sent someone to put him in a carriage and sent him back to Wuxi with a whip.

At this time, it was Zhu Guozuo, Shen Yu, Zhao Nanxing, Qi Shijiao, Gu Tianjun, Tang Binyin and other party leaders who calmed down, and they took leave to rest in the capital, and then sent a large number of officials and imperial historians to the Qianqing Palace.

As a result, there were only a few people left in the Wenhua Palace, such as Ye Xianggao, as well as a large number of officials from the Eunuch Party and the Qi Wang Party.

But even so, these hundreds of officials could not maintain the operation of the great Ming Dynasty, and the situation fell into a stalemate for a while.

In such an environment, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies has been renovated, and the matter of the abolition of the Tianxia Guard is not so important.

One is to use the knife against the nobles under the eyes of Da Ming, and the other is to use the knife against ordinary officers of the guard.

Most people can see which of the two is more important, but even so, some entrenched local health centers are still not ready to compromise!

"Put!"

"Peng Peng Peng—"

On November 27, along with Qi Yuanbi leading the troops to take up his post, the 16 guards of Zhejiang, including the Chuzhou Wei, Shaoxing Wei, Haining Wei, Changguo Wei, Wenzhou Wei, and Linshan Wei...... The officers of the nine guards openly disobeyed, igniting a wave of resistance and innovation in the whole Zhejiang guard.

Qi Yuanbi commanded the three battalions of the Zhejiang army, and in the face of the disobedience of the nine guards, he did only one word...... Beat!

When 300 five-pound cannons appeared in front of the Wenzhou Guard City and opened fire, 300 stone shells immediately crossed a distance of two miles and bombarded the city wall.

Qi Yuanbi stood in front of the first battalion of soldiers and horses with his armor and sword, while the other two battalions also went to suppress the other rebel guards.

In the clairvoyance he held, there were only more than 300 armor-clad soldiers at the head of the Wenzhou Acropolis, and more than 2,000 guards wearing old mandarin duck battle jackets.

It's not so much a guard as a soldier of the clan.

The south is different from the north, after all, the north has been devastated by the five hus, the five dynasties, and the Jin Liao Mengyuan, and the clan power cannot be said to be none, but it is definitely not as powerful as the south.

The largest clan power in the north is Shanxi, and the abolition of the local guard station in Shanxi was carried out by Zhu Youzhen who mobilized nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, so naturally there was no one who did not have a long eye to stop it.

But the current Zhejiang is different, the Zhejiang clan power in the Ming Dynasty is second only to Nanzhili and Jiangxi, and even more united than Fujian.

The guard, which has been inherited for more than 200 years, has long been combined with the local clan forces and is deeply rooted.

In addition, Zhejiang is densely populated, so with a wave of several clans, nearly 3,000 disobedient clan children were pulled out.

These clan disciples were pulled out, just because they were worried that the Weishotian in their hands would be taken away by the imperial court.

The reason why he dared to disobey the order was also because Qi Yuanbi only had more than 9,000 soldiers and horses in three battalions.

It's just that they don't know, and sometimes the number of people does not represent combat effectiveness.

When three hundred five-pound cannons bombarded for an hour in a row, the head of the Wenzhou Acropolis had been smashed into a mess, and many clan children wearing old mandarin duck battle jackets fell into the ruins, and Qi Yuanbi looked at this scene, and immediately raised his hand and said:

"Stop!"

"Stop!" Hearing Qi Yuanbi's words, the generals under his command immediately ordered to stop the shelling, and Qi Yuanbi also spoke after the cannonade stopped for a moment:

"Order someone to pass the word, just say that the Qi Wangfu order, after the Wei Office is abolished, the Wei Office Tian will be divided into each household, if someone resists stubbornly, after the Wenzhou City is broken, the whole clan will be exiled to Guangxi!"

"The last general commands!" Hearing Qi Yuanbi's words, the general immediately sent Tang Qi to the Acropolis of Wenzhou to announce the order of the Qi Palace.

The head of the city found that the soldiers of the clan who were not under artillery fire took out their hunting bows under the command of the clan elder, who was the commander of the guard, but everyone was panicked.

"King Qi really wants to divide our fields?"

"Then can there be a fake? Don't you see all the guns? ”

After the baptism of artillery, some clan soldiers began to waver, and at this time, the Ming army Tang cavalry also came to the city, loudly reported the order of the Qi Wangfu to the city head, and opened the bow and arrows, and shot the arrow with the notice to the city head.

Some of the clan's highly respected prime-aged people took down the notice, and after taking a look at it, they were ready to hand it over to the clan elders who were the commander of the guard.

It's just that the clan elder who saw the notice said tenaciously: "It must be the official army who lured me to open the city gate, don't worry about him!" ”

"Yes...... The officials and soldiers also said that if the city gate was not opened after a quarter of an hour, the whole clan would be exiled to Guangxi. ”

Some clan elders who noticed that something was wrong frowned and asked, after all, Wenzhou Wei's Wei Sho Tian totaled more than 100,000 mu, and Wei Commander alone occupied thousands of mu.

Who knows now, will this be a means for the other party to refuse to hand over the acres of land and trick them into resisting Qi Yuanbi?

Although they are also officials of the health center, and they each occupy hundreds of acres, it is impossible to oppose the imperial court for hundreds of acres of land.

Now that I think about it, Xili Hutu followed the disobedience, which is really wrong.

"Brothers, please believe me once, as long as the noise is loud, Long Live will definitely stop King Qi."

The clan elder spoke to many hereditary guards, but when he opened his mouth, the others couldn't hold back.

Do you have to let them stick with it for a while? Don't you see how powerful the artillery of the officers and soldiers is?

"Open the city gate, don't fight!"

Suddenly, a clan elder spoke instantly, and the others also looked at the clan elder as the commander vigilantly, and ordered the door to be opened.

"You're going to regret it!" The commander stomped his feet in a hurry, but it was useless for him to be in a hurry, because some of the clansmen under the city had already opened the gates.

No one is a fool, and it is okay to ask the government to adjust it.

But the problem is, now that the officers and soldiers are directly firing artillery, who is willing to play with them with their lives?

"Commander, the gates are open."

In the Ming army, the general returned, and when Qi Yuanbi saw this, he immediately said:

"You lead a thousand troops to go in and have a look, bring out all the yellow books and fish scale atlases of the command embassy, and then spread His Highness's words to the entire Wenzhou Guard."

"Yes!" The general responded, and then led a thousand soldiers and horses into the city.

After he entered the city, he quickly told the matter, and when the children of the other clans heard that Wei Suotian was going to be divided equally, they immediately stopped making trouble, and obediently returned home under the order of the general.

As for some of the clan elders who served as officers, all the first offenders were taken away, and the unwitting accomplices were simply deprived of their official positions.

Such a scene is being staged in the whole of Zhejiang and even south of the Yellow River, except for Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places that are far away and have not yet begun to dismantle the health center, most of the rest of the places have begun to dismantle the health center.

As for these three provinces, Hong Chengchou's speed was also a little faster than Zhu Youzhen's estimate, and he rushed to Guiyang on the ninth day of the lunar month, and sat in Guiyang to dismantle the three provinces.

It's just that this repeal sounds good, but the energy and difficulty required to implement it are much more difficult.

All the armies returned to Zhu Youzhen, and the news about the lack of cooperation of the officials in various places, and the reluctance of the scholars from all over the country to help clarify the acres of land.

When these news were seen by Zhu Youzhen, all this did not surprise him.

On the afternoon of the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, leaning on the reclining chair of the temporary yamen of the imperial horse supervisor of the Yanshan camp, Zhu Youzhen just looked at the news of the five military governors and did not say a word.

Looking at his posture, Lu Wenzhao couldn't help but speak:

"Your Highness, from the beginning of the month to the present, the Governor's Mansion has recruited more than 10,000 scribes, and at this rate, I am afraid that the results will not be measured until next year."

"Let's see if you don't need to be forced into the army to recruit some scribes."

Lu Wenzhao gave a good idea, but Zhu Youzhen shook his head and said:

"Forcibly recruited, it is estimated that they will not concentrate on doing it, and maybe they will deliberately make mistakes when the time comes."

"This group of ordinary people with no background refused to join, in the final analysis, they were afraid that they would not be promoted after becoming officials."

"In this case, I ordered the governors of each capital and the governors of the five armies to pay ten taels of silver every year, and to take another merit test, and those who are evaluated for merit will be promoted to the first rank of official position."

In the Ming Dynasty, because the country in the early Ming Dynasty was in ruins, the number of officials was extremely insufficient, so many officials could also be appreciated by the chief officials and promoted to officials through their excellent professional level.

However, with the passage of time, the status of officials in the Ming Dynasty became more and more low, and the Ming Dynasty stipulated that officials were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and the channels for the promotion of officials were artificially cut off.

With the increase of grassroots officials and the gradual decline of the status of officials, the convergence of grassroots miscellaneous servants and Xu officials formed a community of interests at the grassroots level in the Ming and Qing dynasties, that is, the official service group.

The most embarrassing thing is that the officials have nothing to earn, so they can only earn some money and food by exploiting the people, or use the qualification to be exempted from forced labor to earn extra money.

The reason why the status of officials is so low is also a problem linked to the economy.

According to the calculation of two million officials in the Ming Dynasty, even if each person earns five taels a year, the annual expenditure is 10 million taels of silver.

However, Zhu Youzhen understands that as long as the money is in place, one official can do the work of several officials.

In the final analysis, the number of Xu officials is so large, and it is also because the salary is too low, which causes Xu officials to do things without care, and the result of not paying attention is low efficiency.

Instead of thinking about improving the remuneration of the officials and making them work hard, the officials expanded the number of officials in a vicious circle in disguise.

Give silver, give the upward channel, this is the most practical!

As long as these two things are in place, not to mention the children of ordinary peasant families, even the children of the clan can't help but come to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

However, given such treatment, a new problem arose.

"Your Highness, the annual salary of ten taels per person, according to the original establishment of the Governor's Mansion, 120,000 officials are 1.2 million taels of silver......"

Lu Wenzhao was reminding Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen waved his hand and said:

"When the world's military tuntian is in hand, this bit of silver is nothing, you can do it."

"Yes......" Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Lu Wenzhao couldn't say anything more, and after Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and continued:

"Wait!"

Lu Wenzhao stopped, turned to look at Zhu Youzhen, and Zhu Youzhen also closed the document and said:

"Is there any change in the Qianguo Mansion?"

The Qianguo Mansion, which controls half of Yunnan's real power faction martial arts, is different from the nobles of the north and south capitals, although Mu Changzuo is also a waste, but his subordinates can still pull out some soldiers and horses that can fight.

Regarding the innovation of Xungui, Zhu Youzhen was most worried about the Qianguo Mansion, and as soon as his problem was said, Lu Wenzhao said:

"On November 17, Ma Xianglin's general army had already led 9,000 troops to Kunming, and the soldiers and horses of the Qianguo Mansion were taken by Mu Changzuo to the Yuanmou area, and ordered the people of the Qianguo Mansion to prevaricate and say that they needed to wait for him to return to Kunming before they could decide."

"Look at this posture, he should be ready to use the soldiers and horses in his hands to make His Highness give up the power to take away the Duke of Qianguo."

"Give up? Heh......" Hearing Lu Wenzhao's words, Zhu Youzhen sneered:

"He thought he was Mu Ying? With his 20,000 stinky fish and rotten shrimp and Yunnan toast, he wants to stop Lone's military order? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen's face changed:

"Pass the military order to Mu Zeng, I want to renovate the guard in Yunnan, if Mu Zeng hands over the military power, he can grant the left counselor of the Western Army Governor's Mansion."

Zhu Youzhen was willing to let Mu Zeng become the second-in-command of the Western Military Governor's Mansion as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Lu Wenzhao a little surprised:

"Your Highness, why do you need to make such a promise, it is better to transfer the southwest soldiers and horses to Yunnan, with the western army and the southern army currently have 70,000 troops and more than 1,200 artillery pieces, even if Mu Changzuo wants to rebel, it is impossible."

"It's okay, the left counselor of the Western Army is the position left for Mu Zeng." Zhu Youzhen glanced at Lu Wenzhao's response, and then said:

"Mu Changzuo's matter, don't worry about it before Mu Zeng reacts, he Mu Changzuo wants to be a turtle with a shrunken head, then he will first dismantle the Yunnan Health Office, and then send Tian to win the hearts of the people."

"Tell the military governors to recruit and reorganize the 180 battalions in the establishment for me first, and then think about other things."

After that, Zhu Youzhen continued to deal with other documents, and his words were also sent to the south and north of the world under the urgency of Jinyiwei's eight hundred miles.

However, before a quarter of an hour had time to calm down, Lu Jianxing of the Supervision Department walked into the courtyard with a document.

"Some of the people in His Highness, the Imperial Horse Guard, and the Brocade Guards have been found......"

He bowed down, and Zhu Youzhen said absent-mindedly when he heard this: "Report the number......"

"Forehead......" Lu Jianxing hesitated for a few seconds, then glanced at Lu Wenzhao, and saw that Lu Wenzhao didn't say anything before he spoke:

"Among the Jinyi guards, there are no less than 7,000 people who have anything to do with the inner court, Wenchen, and Wuxun."

"There are about 4,000 people in the Imperial Horse Prison."

In one sentence, Zhu Youzhen closed the document in his hand and said meaningfully:

"Ninety thousand brocade guards, nearly one-tenth of the people, are other people's people, 30,000 imperial horse prison officials and officials, can there be 4,000?"

"Your Highness forgives me, it is really helpless that there are so many people in the Jinyi Guard and the Imperial Horse Prison, after all, although the two are innovative, there are no available people at the beginning, and the people below have not carefully investigated." Lu Wenzhao pleaded.

"yes...... The result of not checking carefully is that I don't know that Wenchen is making small movements under my nose. Zhu Youzhen rubbed his fingertips, and after Lu Wenzhao saw this action, he immediately understood:

"From now on, the three divisions of Jinyi and Wei will be thoroughly investigated, and the matter of the imperial horse supervisor will be notified to Cao Bingbi."

"I didn't get the information right, but I made so many people and sophistication......" Zhu Youzhen glanced at Lu Wenzhao and continued to open the paperwork:

"Jinyiwei's manpower, let's reduce it to 60,000 first, and when the Jinyiwei Third Division can get some useful information, let's see if it is expanded."

"Humble command!" Lu Wenzhao had no choice but to respond, and Zhu Youzhen also continued:

"Let Chengen and Huachun handle the affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the Supervision Department will verify the identity of the person who entered the Imperial Horse Prison."

"Commanded by humility." Lu Wenzhao and Lu Jianxing should go down at the same time.

"Stand down...... Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and the two of them also cautiously retreated.

After they left, Zhu Youzhen closed the paperwork impatiently.

To be honest, he understands why there are so many spies in Jinyiwei and Yuma Supervisor, and the two-word summary is "greed".

How much money can the parties spend on the bribes? Therefore, it is not surprising that they were bought, not to mention that most of the old people in the Jinyi Guard were at odds with the parties and ministers, and they didn't have the time and money to eliminate them at the beginning, which could be regarded as self-inflicted consequences.

He thought he would be fine if he came up with a means to report each other, but it turned out that the Tao was a foot taller than the devil.

No one will think that there is a lot of silver, and corruption and bribery must not be eliminated, so he can only clean up these dirt regularly to keep the government clean.

While he was thinking so, the party ministers in the capital were also having a headache for his actions.

However, in a month and a half, more than ninety percent of the guards in the world were abolished, and the guards in various places were simply unable to form a force to resist the soldiers and horses arranged by Zhu Youzhen in the locality.

Zhejiang's Jiuwei disobedience was pacified by Qi Yuanbi in only ten days, and the rest of the places such as Fujian, Jiangxi, and Nanzhili were also abolished one after another, and the system collapsed for a while.

Such a speed made Wenchen look at it in his eyes and be anxious in his heart.

"Tell me, what should I do next?"

In Zhu Guozuo's mansion, Gu Tianjun, the leader of the Kun Party, was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, walking back and forth, while in the hall were Zhu Guozuo and other leaders of the other four parties, Shen Yan, Yao Zongwen and others.

"The guard was abolished so quickly, it really makes people can't think that the only thing that can be won over at the moment is the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan, and the nobles of Shuntian and Yingtian have been abolished!"

Zhu Guozuo frowned tightly, his eyes looked left and right, and it was not difficult to see that he was also a little panicked in his heart.

According to their deduction, it will take at least a year for Zhu Youzhen to remove the guard, but he didn't expect that this guy was not afraid of impeachment by the local imperial history at all, and directly asked the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to quell the rebellion by force.

As a result, health centers are being abolished at an alarming rate.

After the dismantling of the health center, when the group of students in Yanshan came out of the mountain, it was not difficult to imagine that Zhu Youzhen was going to attack the government.

"Doesn't this kid really covet the throne?"

Yao Zongwen couldn't help but say a word, and this sentence also made everyone's faces look embarrassed.

It stands to reason that if you want to be an emperor, you must not let yourself have too much black material on you, but what Zhu Youzhen called the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to do, it seems that he is not afraid of being splashed with black water at all.

"Didn't Ye Xianggao say something?" Zhu Guozuo asked Yao Zongwen and the others rhetorically, but Qi Shijiao shook his head and said:

"After Liu Yixiao resigned, the burden of the entire cabinet was on him, and now he is busy with various performances at the end of the year."

"This Liu Jihui! If you don't go early, you can't go, but this time to go! Shen Xiao couldn't help but be angry, and took the matter to Liu Yixiao.

In the final analysis, they understood that Liu Yixiao saw that the situation was uncontrollable, so he resigned early.

He is good, now he is a leisure, and Donglin also has Zhao Nanxing to support him, but as far as the court situation is concerned, the pressure of one cabinet member is missing, and the pressure that the emperor needs to face has been reduced a lot.

It is impossible for Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong to put pressure on the emperor, there are only a few of them, and the strength formed is not enough, so it is a bit of a stalemate.

But at the moment, the stalemate is not a good thing, the longer the stalemate, the more time will be given to Zhu Youzhen, and when Zhu Youzhen solves the matter of the guard and Wuxun, I am afraid that Wenchen's side will ......

"It seems that we need to send someone to Qianguo Gong to test it."

At this time, Zhu Guozuo could only take risks to see if he could win over Mu Changzuo.

If Mu Changzuo can be wooed, maybe he can borrow the power of the DPRK and the central government to install Mu Changzuo in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and leave a catcher for Zhu Youzhen.

"With Mu Changzuo alone, I'm afraid it's not King Qi's opponent."

Shen Yu dismissed it in time, because he didn't think that Mu Changzuo would be Zhu Youzhen's opponent.

Mu Changzuo, a general who played soy sauce in the Rebellion of Luxury, faced the tiger and wolf army that had just experienced the first battle of Fuliao, how long could he withstand the pressure?

Not to mention that there are still Qin Liangyu, Qin Bangping, Zhu Xieyuan and others in the southwest.

As long as Zhu Youzhen transfers the Western Army and the Southern Army to Yunnan, I am afraid that Mu Changzuo will immediately hand over the power in his hands.

Even if Zhu Youzhen does not mobilize troops and horses, with the current situation, Mu Changzuo will be unable to support himself and will not last long.

He didn't dare to rebel, after all, so many soldiers and horses were suppressed by bullets in the Lu'an Rebellion, not to mention the 20,000 or 30,000 people in his hands?

Shen Yu saw it clearly, and his words also made everyone's mood fall to the bottom.

To put it bluntly, they still don't grasp the military power firmly enough, and now they are making a wrong step, a wrong step......

"You can try it, and at the same time win over Mu Changzuo and Mu Zeng."

At this time, Yao Zongwen made a special suggestion, and his suggestion immediately caused Tang Binyin and Qi Shijiao next to him to frown.

They still care a little about Mu Zeng's identity as a young man, but Zhu Guozuo doesn't bother to care so much.

If Zhu Youzhen is allowed to easily suppress the guards and ministers, then some scholars who are still watching the court will know how to place the treasure.

The popularization of so many official and private schools in the Ming Dynasty led to the birth of millions of scholars.

With so many scholars, as long as one-tenth of them defected to Zhu Youzhen, Wenchen could only wait to be deprived of power, and the parties could only be destroyed.

"Send someone to try it." As soon as Zhu Guozuo opened his mouth, he immediately decided on the development of this action.

It's just that they don't know, compared to the fact that they are still here to argue, Zhu Youzhen's people have already run hundreds of miles away.
