Chapter 227: The Governor Zhu Youjian(1/2)
"Master! No, the people from the Four Cavalry Guards and the Second Battalion of Shuntian took over our military camp!"
"What did you say?!"
In the early morning of November 11, when the people in the capital did not know that the Gongshun Hou Mansion was deposed, Tiance, Yulin, Longxiang, and the four guards of the cavalry joined forces with the Daxingying, and Wanpingying took over the Governor's Office and the Beijingyingying.
The troops and horses of the three major battalions in the capital began to gather together in units of the generals. However, when they all gathered, they found that the noble officers of the generals and the officials of the generals in the past disappeared one after another.
For a moment, the people inside the Jingying were uneasy, and the only sixteen remaining without backgrounds could not find a backbone.
The entire Beijing camp was in an atmosphere of panic. In such an atmosphere, they were still in a defenseless manner in cotton coats to confront the four horse guards.
"squeak……"
When the gate of the military camp opened, everyone looked at the gate nervously, and the one who rode into the military camp was Sun Yingyuan, the right governor of the Right Army Governor's Office, who had prepared early.
He rode on the tall war horse, wearing armor and following the iron cavalry of the cavalry guards.
As he led his men to the military camp, the sixteen generals looked at me and I looked at you, but I didn't know whether to be a tribute.
However, at this time, someone in his early twenties stood up and bowed:
"The left squad of the left army in the Five Army camps, Zhou Yuji, please see Governor Sun!"
"Five Army Camp Right Army..."
"Five Army Camp Left Army..."
"The front army of the Five Army Camps...see Governor Sun!"
Under the leadership of Zhou Yuji, many generals began to take sides and called Sun Yingyuan the governor Sun.
At the same time, Sun Yingyuan said with a slight hue:
"Receive the order of the Five Army Governor's Office and the Beijing Camp are innovating. The Governor is here today to lay off the Beijing Camp!"
As soon as Sun Yingyuan opened his mouth, he was shocked and wanted to cut off the three camps, which made many players uneasy.
"But don't worry, anyone who is young and strong and hardworking can stay and continue to eat military food, but the place where he takes office is no longer convenient for the capital."
Sun Yingyuan gave them a cardiotropic injection and announced:
"I think people are almost there. Since that's the case, then let's start!"
The sudden layoff caught tens of thousands of people in the Beijing camp off guard. They never expected that Sun Yingyuan would execute so quickly.
After all, the three camps are known as the 140,000 army, and Sun Yingyuan dared to lay off the four battalions and the two battalions, which is true...
They couldn't say it because they also knew that it would be fine if the so-called 140,000 people were actually not many people in the entire Beijing camp.
Zhu Youjian even understood how weak the Jingying Camp was, so he directly asked Sun Yingyuan to lead his troops to lay off the ground. To put it bluntly, he didn't take the Jingying Camp seriously.
The Beijing camp has always had the disadvantage of occupying troops and being a false one.
Casting means that soldiers serve the generals. In a small camp of 3,000 people, such soldiers can reach four or five hundred, and there are also disadvantages such as selling idle and pursuing food.
The flaw means that there is no such person in the army. The generals, relatives, eunuchs, and powerful men pretend to be strong men in the army and pay a generous salary every month.
In history, Li Banghua, a capable minister in the Donglin Party, took the initiative to request an order to investigate the Beijing camp, recovered 10,000 soldiers occupied, and cleared out 1,000 falsely.
In his memorial to Chongzhen, he even said that although the three battalions had more than 100,000 troops, half of them were old and weak.
According to convention, when the Beijing camp troops are short of quotas, the people are allowed to apply for the increase, and most of these old and weak people come in by bribing nobles.
Li Banghua, a man who had no military power, reinvigorated the Beijing camp with his courage and personally took exams on the selection of soldiers. He would not hire anyone who was young and strong.
The final result was that in the Beijing camp with 140,000 troops, Li Banghua only selected 10,000 selections and 7,000 auxiliary soldiers. The remaining old and weak in the 36th battalion were not cut off.
In other words, during the Chongzhen period, there were at least 140,000 soldiers in the Jingying camp, the weak, the sick and disabled, and they were all related households who were in the relationship between honorary officials. Only 17,000 people could fight, and the remaining more than 20,000 were cut off without background.
This was the case during the Chongzhen period, and it was not bad during the Tianqi period. This was also the confidence that Zhu Youjian dared to use the Four Cavalry Guards and Daxing and Wanping Battalions to abolish the Beijing Battalions.
Of course, it is not enough to just lay off the ground, because Li Banghua was cheated in history.
In the second year of Chongzhen, the outskirts of the capital were attacked by Jianlu. Li Banghua selected 3,000 confidants who had been trained for a year to guard Tongzhou, and 2,000 confidants to reinforce Jizhou. He personally led various troops to station outside the capital.
As a result, the Ministry of War ordered Li Banghua to take the Beijing camp back to guard the female wall, so the provost did not dare to go far away, and internal and external news was interrupted.
At this time, Li Banghua asked the court to guard against bandits, arrest spies, dissolve illegal gangs, and spread rumors strictly prohibited.
Because of the weak force in the outer city of the capital, Li Banghua, as a civil servant, took the initiative to ask to leave the city and defend with the stone bridge instead of the city wall.
But at this time, in order to regain power, the ministers began to fabricate rumors and spread them into the palace, making Chongzhen suspicious.
Li Shouqi, the No. 1 Xiangcheng, was the governor of the Beijing camp at that time, and also hated Banghua for suppressing him and took the opportunity to slander him.
Just then, Man Gui's troops were resisting the troops of the Later Jin outside Desheng Gate. Li Banghua also ordered the city to light cannons to help Man Gui. However, for some reason, the well-trained Beijing camp gunners carried Man Gui's military camp to bombard him, accidentally injured many of Man Gui's soldiers.
After this incident, all the censors from the court and the country also submitted memorials to discuss. Some people within the Donglin Party were unfamiliar with Li Ruhua, who was a practical faction, and not many people came forward to protect him. Therefore, Chongzhen had no choice but to dismiss his post and let him return to his hometown to live freely.
From then on, the people who took over Banghua were taught as a lesson. Most of them were conservative and tolerated and brutal, so there was no way to talk about military affairs.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that the incident of shelling the Mangui military camp was the secret weapon of the nobles who used their previous influence.
After all, in order to defend Tongzhou and Jizhou, Li Banghua sent out his confidants' 5,000 people, and most of the remaining were officers and generals involved with the honorary ministers.
So Zhu Youjian learned this lesson. His order to Sun Yingyuan was to lay off the Beijing camp and then completely disband.
Those who dare to cause trouble will be beheaded in the West Market!
With Li Banghua's past lessons, Zhu Youjian didn't want others to get involved in the army.
For this reason, Zhu Youjian even gave Sun Yingyuan an order, that is, at the necessary time, all soldiers in the Jing camp could be removed, and each person would be sent off after one year of military pay according to the Jing camp's military pay.
With Zhu Youjian's military order, Sun Yingyuan became even more bold when doing things. He wanted to abolish everyone in the Beijing camp, but Zhou Yuji's appearance just now made him feel inexplicably.
He always felt that Zhou Yuji gave him a feeling of being close, so when he was commanding the army to start laying off the Beijing camp, Sun Yingyuan called Zhou Yuji to the front and said:
"Where are you from? Have you ever had any noble people from your ancestors?"
"There is currently in Jinzhou, and its original origin is Fenghu Mountain, Suining, Nanzhili. No one from ancestors has ever produced any prominent people. The highest is the official of the Jinzhou Guardians."
Zhou Yuji bowed and answered honestly, but Sun Yingyuan nodded with satisfaction when he heard that he had no background:
"Your Highness announced that we would abolish the Jingying, and then divided the Jingying into the Five Military Camps, Three Thousand Camps, Shenji Camps, Xuanwu Camps, Imperial City Camps, Zhangwu Camps... and other six camps."
"In your opinion, how many people can be left in this Beijing camp?"
"According to the following criteria, there are 6,000 people!" Zhou Yuji answered honestly and said:
"Except for the six thousand young and strong people who have no background, all the others should be cut off!"
Zhou Yuji is not stupid. He knows that Sun Yingyuan is giving him a chance, and he also wants to find a background for him.
Regarding his superior path, Sun Yingyuan nodded with satisfaction and then said:
"You will start with the abolition. If the matter is done, you will be the three thousand battalion generals."
"Thank you for your kindness in the promotion!" The young Zhou Yuji knelt on one knee excitedly and replied loudly.
"Whether things are successful or not depends on you." Sun Yingyuan stood up, looked at Zhou Yuji meaningfully, and then turned around and left.
"Greatly send the governor!" Zhou Yuji sang a loud gift, and then slowly got up after Sun Yingyuan left.
He turned around and looked at the various troops in the Beijing camp who were gradually driven away, and then unconsciously touched the handle of the knife...
"Rebuke the heroes! Isn't this a contempt for Emperor Chengzuwen?!"
When Sun Yingyuan found a good helper to abolish the Beijing camp, Gao Panlong was crazily impeaching Zhu Youjian in the Huangji Hall of the outer court of the palace, as well as Zhu Youxiao on the dragon throne.
The matter of Gongshun Hou Mansion fermented last night. Everyone knew that Zhu Youjian had deposed Wu Ruyin's title and directly demoted the Marquis' Mansion, which had been passed down for two hundred years, to a commoner.
The reason why the news was conveyed so quickly was that early this morning, many other nobles including Zhang Weixian came to court.
The reason they came was very simple, either they wanted to threaten or look at the emperor's attitude.
If the emperor also supports King Qi, then there is no way. The foundation of the nobles is not enough to deal with the King Qi.
Facts have proved that Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian and many civil servants underestimated the waste of the ministers, and they have been arguing by Zhu Youjian. Some of the Bo Mansions are even deprived of their titles after another generation, but they still dare not be presumptuous.
Zhu Youjian's arrangement was too tight and his reaction was too fast. The only trump card of the honorary ministers was the Jingying Camp. However, when they recalled all the noble children to discuss matters last night, they did not expect that as soon as the genius dawned, Sun Yingyuan suddenly appeared in the capital and led his troops to the Jingying Camp.
What is the level of Beijing camp? Can the ministers not know?
It only depends on the number of people, but if the fight really starts, I am afraid that the four guards will be beaten down before the morning court has begun.
Without the Beijing Camp, what trump cards do the nobles have?
Salt merchant?
Stop joking. If they really dare to instigate the salt merchant, Zhu Youjian would probably die of euthanasia.
What was the outcome of Liao Shang? No one in the entire Ming Dynasty no longer knew.
The result of Zhu Youjian enduring the three collaborations between Liao and Shang, was that this matter was particularly bad. Once the merchant committed a crime, he could bring it out.
Not to mention a small number of people, when the Liao Shang business was in trouble, the civil officials said that, but the civil officials were slapped in the face by the Liao Shang business, and finally they were harshly mocked by the military newspaper submitted by Zhu Youjian.
If the merchant dares to commit crimes again, Zhu Youjian has no chance of fearing it, that is, he will draw his sword directly.
Zhang Weixian and others could see clearly about this incident. They could not defeat Zhu Youjian by relying on the power of the heroes alone, and they could not turn to the civil officials because they had too little capital.
The civil officials also looked down on the Beijing camp, which was about to be deposed.
But this does not mean that civil officials will not care about them. On the contrary, civil officials will definitely be in charge of the general and special management.
If there is nothing else, let Zhu Youjian innovate the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, abolish the World's Guard Office, and reorganize the Beijing Camp, then the civil servants will be able to kill them.
Even though Zhu Youjian has now held more than 60% of the military power in the world, at least 30% of them are on the side of civil servants, and the rest of them can be won over.
The reason is that the Governor's Office of the Five Army has no prestige at all. Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the Ministry of War, which was originally the Logistics Management Office of the Five Army Governor's Office, has long seized the military power of the Governor's Office.
Now Zhu Youjian requested the reform of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. The civil officials did not know what the reform required, but they knew one thing.
If the Governor's Office of the Five Army rekindled, the Ministry of War would become the Logistics Department again, and even the Logistics Department could not be arranged, because the Imperial Horse Supervisor took charge of everything.
Without the name of controlling military power, the 30% of military power in the civil servant's hands is just a matter of eliminating a few orders.
They will not do anything rebellious because they cannot bring out a backbone.
They just wanted to curb Zhu Youjian and tell him not to go too far.
To be continued...
