On January 26 of the first year of Wanli, the emperor held a grand review of the Beijing camp at Nanhaizi Campus. Because the queues in the Beijing camp were loose and the military rituals were not solemn. The emperor was furious, and the commander of the Beijing camp and those who had inspected the Beijing camp were arrested.
Beheading them all shocked the world.
Due to the long time in Tingjing, the originally arranged firearms and vehicle combat demonstrations in Jizhen and Jingying were canceled without seeing them. After Zhu Yijun killed people and established his power, he drove back to the city. On the way back, the ministers who accompanied him basically figured out this.
Why were there no envoys from other vassals to watch the Second Great Reading together?
After Zhu Yijun returned to the palace, he told Queen Mother Li about the situation of the Grand Parade in detail. After hearing this, Queen Mother Li's heart was pounding wildly.
Zhu Yijun's measures today were far beyond the limit of her political ability. She couldn't analyze whether it was right or wrong. In the end, she could only say: "Since the emperor and Mr. Zhang had already planned, they did a good job. From now on, we still need to be more harmonious."
Mr. Zhang will discuss it." Zhu Yijun agreed.
After this incident, Empress Dowager Li generally did not speak on government affairs. Only when Zhu Yijun pressed her, did she express her views, and her tone was timid. Zhu Yijun judged that the throne was stable, or she could use a little break.
On the second day after returning to the palace, Zhu Yijun sent an order to the Ministry of War and Shuntian Prefecture, and cooperated with Qi Jiguang who was stationed in Nanhaizi to select soldiers for the Beijing camp. Those selected by Qi Jiguang would be kept. Those who were not selected would be sent back to the various guards with travel expenses.
After Qi Jiguang led the Jizhen officers to select, out of the 66,000 soldiers in the Beijing camp, only 8,000 met the requirements, and the remaining 56,000 soldiers were all placed by the Ministry of War and Shuntian Prefecture.
Shi Duchen, Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, could not defeat Qi Jiguang, so he had no choice but to write a memorial: "I accepted the decree to supply the Beijing camp and cooperated with Qi Jiguang in selecting soldiers, and he was not afraid of difficulties. However, the soldiers of the Beijing camp came from the capital, Beizhili and other places, and they were far away.
There are also places in Liaodong and other places. I checked the selection list of the Ministry of War and found that fifty-six out of ten people whose names did not match were mostly people who were not engaged in production. If you do not distinguish between the good and the bad, they will all return to the guard... I am afraid that each guard will occupy and protect according to the front
, there is a risk of chaos and danger." etc.
Zhang Juzheng received the memorial, but he also had a big problem. The Beijing camp had drawn troops from various guards in recent years, but it was simply unable to resist the overt or covert resistance of various guards and Qianhu. In addition, it also wanted to take advantage of the money - Selected Book
Half of the cases where I couldn't get along with others were because I recruited my own soldiers from the vicinity of Gyeonggi Province for review or just to show off.
If these people were sent to the garrison as recorded in the selection book, the garrison would not accept them at all, because the soldiers listed in the selection book were farming land for thousands of households and would not leave at all. These idle men who only wore their names
If he goes, who will care about him? As time goes by, chaos will inevitably arise.
If these more than 30,000 idle men were not sent to the health centers and put on the ground in the capital, the results of last year's crackdown would immediately be in vain. Zhang Juzheng and Lu Tiaoyang discussed for a long time and came up with two ways: one is to pay a sum of money for cattle seeds;
Send them and their families to border towns to reclaim wasteland; the second is to assign them directly to the Ministry of Industry or the inner government and let them build roads or work.
Both matters required an edict, so Zhang Juzheng petitioned the emperor Zhu Yijun. After reading the memorial, Zhu Yijun approved: "If the matter is handled as discussed, if there are still things that cannot be arranged, they will be resettled in the imperial village and imperial factory in Gyeonggi."
Zhu Yijun said that he would take over if there were things he couldn't arrange, but how could he not use the privileges? At the same time, he asked the Supervisor of Ceremonies, Zhang Jing and others to go to Nanhaizi to select people first. Those who could farm would be selected to open up wasteland and farm in Huangzhuang;
Those who did not know how to handle crops were sent to work for Zhang Jing. The "Daming Neifu Group Co., Ltd." headed by Zhang Jing began to expand production after the New Year. Not only did it absorb a lot of idle people in the inner court, but it also had a shortage of
Where are the manpower?
When Zhang Juzheng saw Zhu Yijun taking out the land from Huangzhuang to place the troops in the capital camp, he sighed to Lu Tiaoyang: "Your Majesty is a truly wise master!"
I think this emperor is pretty good.
As a result, when Huangzhuang and Zhang Jing finished selecting people, less than half of the more than 30,000 people were left, which made the matter much easier to handle. Zhang Juzheng was surprised by Huangzhuang's ability to absorb people, and was resistant to Zhu Yijun's establishment of Huangzhuang.
Low again.
...
After Qi Jiguang had been practicing in Nanhaizi for a few days, Zhu Yijun called him to see him again. At the same time, he called Zhang Juzheng, Tan Lun, the British Duke, and others to Wuying Hall to study the reconstruction of the Beijing Camp.
What Zhang Juzheng meant was that the Beijing camp should still be placed under the command of the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and the available military positions should be selected from the border generals and field guards.
Mingguzou. Then use this as the backbone to build the capital camp.
Tan Lun fully agreed with Zhang Juzheng's opinion and believed that although the four other families in the Wuzong period were also corrupted in the later period, now that the Beijing camp has been completely overthrown and started over, they will not go down the same old path as in the past. Zhu Yijun was noncommittal after hearing this, and asked the British Duke and Qi Jiguang
Views.
After the British father returned home this time, he gave a strict order to his two sons: "After a hundred years, no descendants of our family will be allowed to participate in political affairs or military affairs. They will only do things like etiquette and accompanying people. If there is any violation, it is not my fault, Zhang Rong."
Children and grandchildren!" The two sons knew what happened in the school grounds today and almost peeed with fright. After hearing this, they nodded and suggested that Zhang Rong write this into the family motto and family rules.
At this moment, when the emperor asked, Zhang Rongyi began to express his opinions eloquently. What he said was cloudy and foggy, and there was nothing practical to say. He could sum it up in two sentences: "The emperor is wise and the saints are far-reaching; the chief minister is wise and mature to protect the country."
.”
When Qi Jiguang saw the emperor looking at him, he hurriedly said: "How can I, a military man, intervene in the big affairs? What the emperor says is what I do." After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng nodded subconsciously.
Zhu Yijun laughed after hearing this and said: "Yuan Jing has the ability to be a commander, so there is no need to be too modest. From the perspective of the capital camp, except for Jiubian, all the inland defense posts in the world are useless, but?"
Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
Zhu Yijun said: "If I want to revitalize our military equipment, is it feasible if we all start from scratch like the Jingying camp?"
Zhang Juzheng shook his head after hearing this. Zhu Yijun asked: "Why is it not feasible?"
Zhang Juzheng rationalized his thoughts and replied: "Your Majesty, there are three major disadvantages of today's military preparations: First, the guard posts and the local areas are intertwined and not unified. The money, food, and criminal names are all prime ministers. This can certainly bring troops to the people, but it will take a long time.
For a long time, the military households multiplied and multiplied, and each guard focused on civil affairs, so the military preparedness was inevitably weakened. This is one of the reasons."
"The mainland has been at peace for a long time, and the laws and regulations have been passed. There are many dandies in the capital's garrison. They are all obsessed with silk pipes, their muscles are slow, and their intelligence is slow. How can they have the fighting spirit? This is why
Second." The British prince attended the small meeting hosted by Zhu Yijun for the first time and was dumbfounded when he saw Zhang Juzheng talking about the capital's defense office.
Zhang Juzheng continued: "After Renzong, civil servants came to the town to counsel the military affairs and clean up the border reserves. Then came the husbands of Jiezhou, who were groveling. As time went by, the opposition between the civil and military forces collapsed - Qi Jiguang and others, the world
When there is nothing to do, they regard them as cattle and horses, and when there is trouble, they order them to sacrifice their lives! The benefits of treatment are small, and the responsibility is heavy. This is what the emperor said last time, "It is not easy for military commanders in a country to be easy." Civil and military statuses are different, and they are not one dynasty.
It can be understood that this is the third disadvantage." After hearing this, Qi Jiguang's eye circles became a little red again.
Zhang Juzheng finally concluded: "If the emperor wants to boost his military preparedness, he must organize the army, select generals, guard posts, places, transportation and other methods, all for the purpose of reform. But at this time, the country is so dense, where can the ministers wait?"
Dare you be so bold?" Zhu Yijun sighed after hearing this.
Zhu Yijun said: "Yes, the warehouse can run away with rats -" After hearing the emperor's joke, the ministers quickly smiled in amusement.
Zhu Yijun continued: "If you want to start a revolution, there is no such condition. And there is still a big problem in military affairs. The soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers. If you want to be able to fight, the soldiers must be trained by the generals."
He pointed at Qi Jiguang and said: "Like the Qi family army."
Qi Jiguang quickly knelt down and said: "We are all the emperor's army, how dare I call you this title?" Zhang Juzheng said next to him: "Yuan Jing doesn't have to be like this. If you get closer to the emperor in the future, you will know that the emperor has no such taboos." Zhu Yijun listened.
He nodded.
Zhu Yijun continued: "Seeing the appearance of Ji Zhen's army this time, I had an idea, can all the armies in the world be trained to be like Qi's army?" After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng, the British duke, said to himself that it has been a long time since the emperor made baby talk.
, suppressing the smile in his stomach, he listened with a serious face.
Zhu Yijun said: "I think it would be fine if every general had Qi Jiguang's ability and trained his troops in the same way as him?"
After Zhang Juzheng heard this, they all looked at Zhu Yijun, waiting for him to express his thoughts. Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "The martial arts schools in the capital are now full of people who are rough in academics and are conceited. The Chinese style is martial arts. If you fail, you will still be the same."
People. I want to revolutionize it and build a new martial arts school in the capital to train the generals of the world's defense forces - I will personally be the commander of the mountain!"
