Chapter 174 I'm sorry, I'm here to die

The news of the mutiny came from the Imperial City Division.

Recruitment of new soldiers is under the auspices and preparation of the Military Personnel Department under the Military Administration Yuan.

In the past, soldiers were recruited by the Twelve Rooms under the Privy Council.

For example, the imperial army in Gyeonggi Road is in charge of recruiting in Jingfang, and even the Ban Zhi of the Imperial City Department is in charge of recruitment in Jingfang.

These powers are under the Privy Council.

The Privy Council in the late Northern Song Dynasty basically became a den of corrupt officials after a series of treacherous ministers from Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came and went.

Therefore, Zhao Ning set up a Military and Political Yuan as a brand new yamen.

But he didn't expect that even the new recruits recruited by the Military and Political Council would mutiny in such a short period of time?

Mutiny in the army can be said to be a very serious matter.

The Song Dynasty's guard against warriors itself was distorted to the point of distortion. The Imperial Guard Brigade finally won the battle and regained some of its prestige. Isn't it unpleasant to have something like this happen at this time?

This matter was said by Gao Qiu himself, and Gao Qiu did not dare to make lies.

Zhao Ning said: "What is going on?"

"I heard that the newly recruited soldiers of the Guards Brigade beat the steward of Zhao Ye, the minister of the family, and broke his leg."

"Isn't the Military and Political Council's Military and Military Department responsible for recruiting the Guards Brigade now? How come it has anything to do with the family of the servant?" Zhao Ning was even more surprised. He felt that there might be some hidden meaning in this matter. He couldn't rush to put out the fire. He had to first do it.

Find out the situation.

Gao Qiu hesitated and said: "It is said that Mr. Zhao recently bought a piece of land in Bianjing and is building a house. He is short of manpower, so..."

"So what?"

Gao Qiu's heart skipped a beat because he sensed that Zhao Guanjia's voice had turned cold.

"So Xianggong Zhao went to find some newly recruited imperial guards for him..."

Gao Qiu was sweating on his forehead. It was really difficult for him to talk about this matter.

Because Gao Qiu, an old boy, did this kind of thing a lot during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. He often dragged the imperial soldiers to build buildings and move wood for him.

Absolutely using power for personal gain.

"What to do for him?"

"Build a house and dig the soil for him! I haven't done this for the official family for a long time. All the affairs in my family are done by paying others to do it. I..."

Before Gao Qiu finished speaking, the emperor suddenly stood up. Gao Qiu was so frightened that he quickly took several steps back, trembling and his hands were still shaking.

If this had been done with other things, Gao Qiu would have been so happy to report it.

But this kind of thing is very sensitive, and I am deeply afraid of affecting myself.

Zhao Ning's eyes were fixed on Gao Qiu and he said in a deep voice: "Is this serious?"

"It was reported by the people below, but it has not been fully determined yet."

"Going to repair the house to cause a mutiny?"

"It is said that a newly recruited soldier was beaten by a guest of Mr. Zhao's new residence in his new residence. The two sides started fighting and the situation was out of control."

Zhao Ning calmed down and said, "Where are the mutinous soldiers now?"

"In the city, Mr. Zhang Shuye and Mr. Zhang have learned about the situation and sent people to deal with it."

"Does it have a big impact?"

"There are more than a hundred New Army soldiers involved."

More than a hundred people!

"The Military and Political Council has strict military laws, so how come there are so many people going to repair Zhao Ye's house?"

"The official forgives me, I haven't understood this yet."

"Go investigate this matter immediately and let me investigate clearly."

"What about the mutinous soldiers? I'm worried that things will get worse."

"Zhang Shuye is here, what are you worried about? Go and do your own thing."

"Yes, I will go right now."

Zhao Ning sat down again.

New army mutiny?

What a shame!

The Guards Brigade fought a beautiful battle like the Shangdang, and now the Military and Political Council continues to replenish the Guards Brigade. It just so happens that Zhao Ning wants to take this opportunity to rectify the military and political affairs.

He had even planned to transfer Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others in, and then give them new designations.

Banditry is now serious in Hebei and Hedong. Let these newly built armies be used to quell the banditry.

He also focused on raising the Martial Arts Hall, and coaxed and tricked Qu Duan into coming to the capital.

Moreover, the Gwuyuan was established and Chen Gui was sent to the Ministry of Industry in order to further clean up the military defense, including the supervision of weapons.

It can be said that Zhao Ning is thinking of every means to strengthen the military establishment to consolidate the urgent national defense.

But there are people who want to harm me!

In the afternoon, Gao Qiu came back soon.

"Guan Jia, I have thoroughly investigated everything!"

"explain!"

"Yes, he is a retainer of Mr. Zhao's residence in Zhaoye. Mr. Zhao has built a new residence in the city and needs people. An aide named Li Changchong under Mr. Zhao thought that the court was recruiting new soldiers on a large scale recently, so he went to bribe him.

Once you have a head, let those people go to work."

"Is it confirmed?"

"There is no doubt that Li Changchong insulted the recruits during the fortifications and even beat them with whips. So they broke Li Changchong's legs and started fighting with people from Xianggong Zhao's house."

This matter is actually not complicated, it is very simple.

Who is Zhao Ye?

The servant of the sect, Zuo Cheng, the minister.

From the first year to the second year of Jingkang, he served as the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses in Hebei, and served as the commander-in-chief of the troops and horses, Zhao Gou.

When Zongze asked him to go south to King Qin with him, he and Fan Ne not only ignored him, but also laughed at Zongze for his arrogance.

After the second war between Song and Jin Dynasties, Zhao Ye resigned from his post as the commander-in-chief of the army and horses in Hebei and returned to Beijing.

The position of servant is a sinecure, but generally the position of servant is given to the deputy prime minister.

There were a lot of honorary and idle positions in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ye was just one of them.

This is a high-ranking official of the imperial court who bought a piece of land to build a house in Tokyo, but he didn't want to spend money to build it, so he asked the people below to find a way.

Since there are so many new recruits, it doesn't matter if a hundred people come.

This may seem unbelievable to people in the 21st century, but it was too common in the Song Dynasty.

This is how the previous Imperial Army was defeated.

It was even more excessive before. Not only did Gao Qiu do this, but everyone in the court, dignitaries, and anyone who needed to do hard work found people in the Forbidden Army.

It seems that some people’s habits have not changed for a while!

I worked hard and paid a high price to recruit new soldiers.

Changing this habit requires some means.

You will never dare to do it again after seeing Gao Qiu.

Why, afraid of death!

Zhao Ning asked again: "Where is Li Changchong now?"

"At Zhao Ye's residence."

"Go, take Li Changchong to the imperial city's Yamen, and give him a good interrogation."

"Yes, I will do it now."

Zhao Ye is at his residence calculating how much the newly purchased piece of land in Tokyo city can be sold for if a house is built on it.

Not long after, Zhao Ye figured it out, and he laughed excitedly: "It can be sold for 50,000 yuan (about 25 million yuan)!"

"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao." Li often walked in hurriedly.

"What's the matter?"

"Something bad has happened. The new recruits we recruited today have turned against us!"

"What! It's reversed!" Zhao Ye was shocked, and then laughed again, "Okay! Okay!"

"Why did Mr. Zhao praise him?"
