Emperor Wanli said strangely: "Of course, how could this be false?"
Liu Haojia immediately raised his hands in the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty, you are a saint!"
Emperor Wanli blurted out subconsciously: "No matter how wise my mother is, she won't help me!"
Liu Haojia pretended not to hear these words, changed the subject and said: "Has your Majesty understood the deep meaning of the empress?"
Emperor Wanli looked at Zhang Jia in confusion. He did not get an answer from him, so he could only shake his head and wait for Liu Haojia's answer. Liu Haojia whispered: "Does your Majesty know about the Yulin Guard?"
Emperor Wanli thought for a while and said, "I know this! I remember it should be an army under Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, right?"
Liu Haojia turned his attention to Zhang Jia, wanting to see how he would answer. As a person who could work beside Emperor Wanli, Zhang Jia was naturally smart enough, and he was also a leader trained in the inner study! So he thought for a moment and said: "This feather
Lin Wei is a team personally trained by Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! The name comes from the wing of the country, which means Lin Zhisheng. When he trained this team, he ate and lived with the soldiers, so the combat effectiveness of the entire army was very high.
Strong, it can be said that he can command like an arm!"
Seeing that the two of them had nothing to add, Liu Haojia said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Your Majesty, is this all you two are thinking about?"
Emperor Wanli thought for a long time and found that he still had nothing to add, and then he said hesitantly: "The masters taught these when they taught the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Is there any deeper meaning in it?"
Liu Haojia snorted and said, "It's really heartbreaking!"
Although Emperor Wanli was dissatisfied with the severity of several masters, he still respected them in his heart, so he was a little dissatisfied when Liu Haojia said this! He raised his eyebrows and said: "What do you mean by this? Is it possible that your knowledge is better than that of others?"
How many masters are there?"
Liu Haojia said: "The knowledge of ordinary people is naturally not as good as those of those adults, but your Majesty's masters did not tell you things that even ordinary people know, which shows that they have bad intentions, so I said that their intentions are bad.
Punishable!"
Emperor Wanli said unhappily: "Then tell me! If you can't tell Zi Wu Mao You today, don't blame me for punishing you!"
Liu Haojia organized his speech and said: "Your Majesty, you will know after listening to me! The matter of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty forming the Yulin Guards must be considered in light of the situation at that time. As the leader of a country, why did he organize a separate army? Could it be that the Han Dynasty
Isn’t there enough troops? It’s because the entire state affairs at that time were in the hands of the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had no military power and could not guarantee his own safety! In order to ensure his own safety and regain power in the future, he had to use his support
He formed a new army in the name of orphans! After all, as long as he was in the military camp, he was safe, even safer than staying in the palace! At the same time, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not treat the Yulin Guards as an ordinary army.
He trains all the soldiers around him as officers! So when there is a chance in the future, he only needs to send soldiers to the Habayashi Guards, and in an instant an army capable of fighting hard will appear!"
Emperor Wanli's political literacy was not bad, and his face stiffened after hearing Liu Haojia's words! If Liu Haojia hadn't mentioned the second role of the Yulin Guards, he would have been even more frightened! But he still said loudly: "Liu Haojia, you are like this
You are slandering the Queen Mother and the Chief Assistant, do you know your guilt?"
Liu Haojia cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, don't be anxious. You can answer a few questions of the common people first and then punish the common people for their crimes!"
Emperor Wanli stared into Liu Haojia's eyes and said, "Say it!"
Liu Haojia asked: "Your Majesty, who is in charge of the current government affairs? Can Your Majesty take a hand?"
Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment by his question, but he still stared and said, "That's because I am young, and my mother and Master Zhang feel that I am not able to handle state affairs now! What if..."
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "Okay, let's get over this issue first. Now I would like to ask Your Majesty, there are millions of troops in the country, which one can Your Majesty command?"
Emperor Wanli opened his mouth to answer, but then he realized that he really couldn't mobilize any army! The army was either in the hands of the Ministry of War or in the hands of the nobles, neither of which he could mobilize! But he still
After thinking for a while, he said loudly: "I can mobilize the Jingjun from the Royal Horse Prison!"
The Jing Army is an army composed of eunuchs. They are mainly distributed in palaces, royal gardens, and imperial mausoleums. Some have some fighting ability, but most of them do hard work.
The Purification Army mainly comes from three aspects. One is people who castrate themselves privately. In the past, in order to ensure the growth of the population, private castration was not allowed among the people. However, some people performed private castration because of the pressure of life or other purposes!
There are historical records: "People in the capital were envious of the wealth of internal officials, so they secretly mutilated young boys in order to keep them for their own use. There were also cases of undocumented children, married people who died by themselves, and every time the Ministry of Rites petitioned for them, they all had imperial approval.
If he is exempted from death, he will be assigned to the Foreign Guards Station and be named Jingjun. If he is pardoned, he will be sent to Nanyuan to grow vegetables according to the story. If there is a vacancy, he will be selected to serve. There are also those who can solve problems intelligently and become prominent."
This means that there are people who want to work in the palace as servants. However, they fail to do so. When there are many such people, the court will forgive them and organize them. If they are lucky, they can work in the palace as servants. Some will come.
Something to do, someone to reach the top.
There are also eunuchs who were demoted to the Jing army after making mistakes. The proportion of such people in the Jing army is very large! Even some relatively powerful eunuchs were demoted. For example, Wang An, Shang Ming, Wang Yue, Li Fang, etc.
The biography of Wang An in "History of the Ming Dynasty" records that Wang An was originally a confidant of Guangzong Zhu Changluo, and he also contributed to the support of Emperor Tianqi in the palace transfer case. However, he was too close to the Donglin Party. Later, he lost power and was
He was exiled to Nanhaizi to serve as a purge army. He was later killed.
The last batch of sources are the troops composed of eunuchs with good physical fitness specially trained by the emperor or the eunuchs in power. However, in fact, the combat effectiveness of this kind of army is very low and of no use.
At this time, Liu Haojia said with a smile: "Your Majesty, can you really command the Jing Army? He is in Feng Bao's hands. Without him, you can't command the Jing Army! And you don't know who Feng Bao has the best relationship with.
Is it clear? Besides, the most important point is that since the dynasty has millions of soldiers, why does it need to establish a pure army?"
At this time, both Emperor Wanli and Zhang Jia were stunned and couldn't think of an answer for a while! Liu Haojia squeezed out a sentence through his teeth and said: "Because most of the army is in the hands of civilian officials,
Only a small part of the army is in the hands of nobles, and this part of the army is suppressed by civilian officials, with a lot of sand inserted in it! If a pure army is not established in the palace, the palace gates and walls are just decorations!
I'm afraid His Majesty won't be able to sleep well in there, right? But Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng have a close relationship, so this pure army is almost useless!"
