"The emperor and the court have made up their mind?" Feng Ziying asked casually when only Feng Ziying, Chai Ke and Yuan Ke were left.
Chai Ke's eyes moved slightly, while Yuan Keli's expression changed.
Chai Ke smiled half-heartedly, "Ziying, what are you talking about?"
"Why do you two adults want to ambush Ziying?" Feng Ziying chuckled, "No one from the Metropolitan Procuratorate came. In the early stage, they just came to watch the show. The two of them ran around and asked questions like a dragonfly.
After asking, he left. I thought it was time for a serious investigation, but it turned out that someone from the Ministry of War came to conduct an inspection. Even You Shigong couldn't hide this. I'm afraid the people below have already made arrangements, right? How could He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji be like this?
Given the opportunity, I will naturally shed tears of gratitude and repay your kindness."
Chai Ke shook his head and smiled, and then said to Yuan Keli: "How about it, let me tell you, it's just that I can't hide it from a veteran like You Shigong, Ziying can't be bullied here either."
Yuan Keli's expression slowly softened after changing for a while. Although Feng Ziying also had a martial arts background, she was a civil servant and would not do anything on such a big issue of right and wrong.
"Ziying, you are really sharp-eyed." Yuan Keli said calmly.
"Hey, you two adults, you have gone too far. The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate did not come, and the people from Longjingwei did not show up. This is such a big deal that the 80,000-strong army was wiped out overnight. Could it be that the imperial court
You don't care so much? Even if the emperor doesn't care, the cabinet and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't tolerate it." Feng Ziying said cheerfully: "What's more, the emperor and the cabinet have been in Beijing for a long time, and they can't take the opportunity to launch a crackdown. No one will believe it even if they say it.
"
Yuan Keli's expression froze. He didn't expect that something was missing here. He was indeed the one who suggested that the Metropolitan Procuratorate arrive slowly and that Long Jinwei secretly enter Santun Camp first. This would prevent people like Qi Jianyao and Han Shangyu from feeling the situation.
If it's not right, you'll have to jump over the wall and cause a mutiny.
"Actually, you two have overestimated these martial generals. They are used to being pampered. As long as it is not an unforgivable crime of immediately confiscating their families and exterminating their clans, how can they still have the spirit and courage to fight to the death?" Feng Ziying smiled.
He stood up and said, "Of course it is safer to take preventive measures before they happen. I have also said hello to Hushan and Kunshan, so neither of them entered the city and kept a distance from the Beijing camp soldiers..."
In fact, Feng Ziying also quietly greeted He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji, telling them to stabilize the troops under their control. Although Han Shangyu and Qi Jianyao were not expected to have the courage to engage in mutiny, they still had to be just in case. Their subordinates also
There are still a few generals who really want to take risks, which is still a troublesome matter.
Chai Ke and Yuan Keli exchanged glances, and then nodded: "Since Ziying knows it, I won't hide it from you. People from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will come soon, and they will want to take some things they think are in the Santun camp."
General Zuo who needed to be investigated during the war was taken away for investigation. The tens of thousands of troops in the Beijing camp here were temporarily managed by the Jizhen Army. In addition, Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu assisted You Shigong in management. As for He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji,
Come and arrange it, we will make a decision later based on the situation.”
"You Shigong has arranged for the army to prepare?" Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"I can't hide it from you." Chai Ke nodded readily: "Necessary preparations must still be made. Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst."
Feng Ziying also murmured in her heart that this You Shigong was also an old fox. He didn't reveal any information in front of him, but it was better not to reveal it to himself, so as to avoid unnecessary trouble if the information leaked out.
Emperor Yonglong seems to have made up his mind to cleanse the martial arts forces in the capital camp.
Now the Fifth Army Camp and the Shenshu Camp are facing each other. Chen Jixian's attitude is erratic. Qiu Shiben is a confidant of Emperor Yonglong, but Chen Jixian still has the advantage.
Emperor Yonglong wants to reorganize and reorganize the Beijing camp. These tens of thousands of troops need to be eliminated and cleaned up. After the final selection and screening, some people will still be added back to the Beijing camp, the Shenji camp will be rebuilt, and the fifth military camp will be replenished to its original size.
This is a good time to mix in the sand. Neither Emperor Yonglong nor the Ministry of War can do nothing about this. Naturally, they have to take action, but first they must clear out the Wu Xun forces. Now is the time.
Emperor Yonglong had his own ideas. Of course, the cabinet and the Ministry of War also hoped to get their hands deep into the Beijing Camp, a forbidden area that the Ministry of War had not been able to get involved in before.
It turns out that although the appointment of generals and assistants in the Beijing Camp is nominally the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War, in fact it is basically monopolized by Wu Xun. The Ministry of War has to arrange other personnel to join, and it is difficult to survive in the Beijing Camp. Therefore, it is basically formed that Wu Xun's children are responsible for the appointment.
The customs of generals in the capital camp.
This situation reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Yuanxi. Less than 10% of Lieutenant General Zuo Fei's children in the Beijing camp were descendants of Wuxun, and they were basically junior officers. After Emperor Yonglong succeeded to the throne, the situation changed slightly, but the children of Wuxun were still in the Beijing camp.
Jiang Zuozhong accounted for more than 80%.
Now Emperor Yonglong and the Ministry of War both intend to break this pattern. The hundreds of captured generals are a huge opportunity. Taking advantage of these captured generals, now that the Beijing Camp is being rebuilt, it is just in time for a large-scale selection and appointment of officers from the sons of Wu Xun.
However, Feng Ziying felt that this was a good thing for Yang Zhaoji and He Huchen. Neither of them was born as a disciple of Wu Xun, and they also performed well in this incident, so they could take advantage of the situation to be promoted. They are both about thirty years old, so they are
When you are in your prime, as long as you can enter the Dharma's eye, your future is limitless.
"My lords, Han and Qi managed to escape after all, so it's not too embarrassing, right?" Feng Ziying asked casually.
"It depends on whether the two of them know each other." Yuan Keli curled his lips. He had never had a good impression of Wu Xun, and of course Feng Ziying was not included. "As long as they cooperate well with the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial court will give them a decent
Chai Ke laughed, "Ziying, it's not the dignity you mentioned. Li Qing meant to save some face for them..."
Feng Ziying then pretended to be frightened and patted her chest, "I thought Master Yuan wanted them both to commit suicide to thank the people of the country to save their dignity."
"Haha, do they have the courage to commit suicide?" Yuan Keli smiled, and then showed his usual sarcastic expression, "The family has a beautiful wife and concubines, numerous mansions and farms, but they usually just drink the blood of soldiers and make money, how can they commit suicide?
?The worst case scenario is that you can go home and become a rich man. How can a general like this be willing to fight with his life?"
"Ziying, the Han family and the Qi family are both members of the Four Kings, Eight Dukes and Twelve Marquises, so they are friends with your Feng family, right? You might as well talk to them and try your best to cooperate with the Metropolitan Procuratorate..." Chai Ke was also very calm, "
They are all smart people. I think they should understand the intentions of the emperor and the court at that time..."
Feng Ziying sighed, "I'll go talk to them. I hope they can understand."
As expected, Chen Yuting, the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, led a group of censors, and with the cooperation of Long Jinwei, took away a group of generals including Qi Jianyao and Han Shangyu, but it did not cause much shock among the soldiers in the capital.
.
In fact, these soldiers were very indifferent to these generals who were taken away, and almost no one felt sorry for them. This fully shows how bad the prestige and foundation of Han Shangyu, Qi Jianyao and others were among the soldiers.
Seeing the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei meandering away, Chai Ke and Yuan Keli turned around and said to You Shigong and Feng Ziying: "We have to leave this matter to Shi Gong, Ziying, Hushan and
We have checked the situation of these two units in Kunshan and are quite satisfied with it. As for whether to return to Liaodong or stay in Jizhen, we will have to report to Lord Shangshu after we return to confirm..."
"Thank you two adults for your concern for Ji Town. I would also like to ask you two adults to describe the current difficulties in Ji Town to Lord Shangshu on your behalf. The Chahar people are still ready to take action. Lin Dan Batur feels that he is not following the routine. Ming
I know that the Jianzhou Jurchen is not the same person as him, but she always hooks up with Nurhachi and is at odds with our great Zhou Dynasty. I am worried that the Chahar people will come back next year..."
"Okay, Shi Gong, don't complain. Everything is difficult. The situation in the southwest is worrying. We are still in dire straits..." Yuan Keli said angrily: "Master Chai has already said that we need to discuss with Master Shangshu about your mouth.
If you have grown too big and are satisfied with you, don’t go anywhere else. If I can leave two parts of Hushan and Kunshan to you, just have fun secretly. Don’t be too dissatisfied.”
You Shigong gave Feng Ziying a very subtle look of satisfaction. Sure enough, it was beneficial to open his mouth wider. At least there was room for bargaining. Otherwise, Zuo Liangyu and Huang Degong might not be able to stay in Jizhen.
, which means that not only the military strength has increased, but also thousands of fire muskets that should have been given to Liaodong have also returned to Jizhen.
"Shi Gong, these tens of thousands of soldiers from the Beijing camp will be classified as soon as possible according to the conditions proposed by the Ministry of War. According to the ratio of three to three, 20,000 people will be available after reorganization, and 20,000 people will have to undergo reorganization training and pass the assessment.
If you can enter, the other 20,000 people will be considered for elimination..."
Chai Ke's request also made You Shigong very embarrassed, "Sir, to be honest, it would be good to have ten or twenty thousand of these Beijing soldiers available, and they all need strict training, including He Huchen and Yang Zhaoji, in my opinion
Not qualified yet,..."
Chai Ke didn't know it, but this was the Emperor's wish, and the reorganization of the Beijing Camp could not be completed for so long. It must be completed within half a year.
If we strictly follow the standards of the border army, then all of them will really have to be laid off, but what about these tens of thousands of people?
They and their families have been living in and around the capital for several generations. How can they be eliminated so easily? Even if the 20,000 people have to be eliminated, the court will still have to consider giving them another way out in the future, such as a patrol camp.
For example, it is used by the Four Guards Camp, the Warrior Camp and the Tomb Guards, otherwise there will really be big trouble.
"Okay, Shi Gong, just do as I say." Chai Ke waved his hands, and everyone sighed. In fact, everyone understood that it would be difficult to do this.
