Wanli Xinming

Chapter 34
Zhu Yijun's surprise was not pretentious. In his impression, the Wanli Dynasty, which was able to implement the three major expeditions, should have strong military strength.Among them, Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang are even more famous.But he never imagined that Beijing Camp, the core force used by the imperial court to "control the outside world", had reached such an unbearable level in Zhang Juzheng's mouth.

Zhu Yijun calmed down, sat down slowly, and said to Zhang Juzheng: "Old sir, please get up, between me and your monarch and ministers, we still need to communicate more frequently in the future to avoid misunderstanding."

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said yes, wiping a cold sweat in his heart, and also had a little regret for Meng Lang who was in the Guogong's mansion today. ——But this is only a little bit on the premise that Zhu Yijun has shown him with his brilliant knowledge that he is facing a wise master, and replaced it with Wanli, who was timid and timid in the original time and space, hehe. .

Zhu Yijun waited for him to sit down and asked, "Is Jingying so unusable?"

Zhang Juzheng is secretly strange, you know whether you say goodbye or not, but you don't know what the whole world knows under your eyes.

Slowly explained: "Your Majesty, the Beijing Camp has been unusable since Jingtai, not in recent years. The Beijing Camp was built by the Taizu and started from the 48 guards of the five armies. Wei, the three major battalions are the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, and the Shenji Battalion."

"After the battle of Tumu Fort, the entire army was annihilated, and there were no generals or arms in the army. Although Yu Shaobao built a regiment camp to cheer up a little, but Xianzong later used eunuchs to run the camp, and this time he was completely weak. - To Wuzong At that time, the dignified Beijing army, facing Liu Liu and Liu Qi's army of chaotic people, did not dare to fight!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun took a deep breath, and completely understood what the Beijing army was.He raised his hand and asked Zhang Juzheng to take a sip of tea and continue talking.

Zhang Juzheng said: "At that time, Wu Zong was in a fit of anger, and he dispatched tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the nine sides to the capital, called the 'Four Outsiders'. Together, the Beijing Army will never figure out what to do in the future."

"During the reign of King Sejong, civil servants were set up to supervise the military affairs of the Beijing camp, but it still didn't work. In the 29th year of Jiajing, I Da army besieged the capital, and the capital camp was still defeated when it encountered the enemy, so I dared not fight."

"Later, when Yan Song was in power, he returned to the three major battalions from the regimental battalion system, and set up the 'Governor Jingying Rongzheng' and 'Associate Rongzheng', which were divided into supervisors and vice-presidents. ."

The corner of Zhang Juzheng's mouth showed a faintly mocking smile, "The year before the year before, Zhao Dazhou suggested to the late emperor, saying that the military officials would take over the power. Add an assistant to the military."

"The previous year, the late emperor thought that the six admirals were in charge of the Beijing and the military, and they did not govern each other, and they restored the old way of being the governor and the assistant to the military, until now."

Zhu Yijun was dazzled when he heard this, and had a strong perceptual understanding of Zhang Juzheng's ability to manage politics.The beginning and evolution of Jingying was explained in a clear and coherent manner by him, as if unfolding a small historical picture full of golden horses and iron horses, joys and sorrows, many thrilling past events during this period are hidden in this not salty and not bland. In the mouth.

Zhu Yijun felt sentimental for a moment, and then asked: "What is the reason for the weakness of the Beijing camp? Can you still cheer up?"

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "It's difficult! Let me first tell the emperor about the weakness of the Beijing camp. First, the factions are mixed, and there are many clues. The Beijing camp is the home of the capital's nobles. There are seven or eight major factions and dozens of small factions, who compete for pay and make trouble every day, and fight with each other.

"The two nobles occupy the service, but there are no soldiers. The emperor thinks that the servants of this noble family are hired by himself? They are all soldiers of the Beijing camp! The strong and strong, in the family of the ministers, the emperor is very weak. Yes, at the gate of a thousand households and a hundred households. Officials in Manjing regard it as a matter of fact—even civil servants such as ministers, there are dozens of soldiers from the Beijing battalion serving as servants at home!”

"There is no money for the three, and the soldiers have no combat power. This year, the three battalions have consumed nearly one million taels of silver, including food and weapons. There should be 15 soldiers in the Beijing battalion, and [-] are in the account. What about this salary? Carve up from the top down."

"There are actually [-] soldiers - half of them eat at the minister's house, claiming to be half-paid, but in reality, the minister has heard that only one-third of them get it; the remaining [-] people, pretending to be in the camp, can really get half of it. Salary - but you must also be filial to Shangguan. The food, which the minister has not seen, is said to be like pig food. Can such soldiers still be able to fight? As long as the other side can bring out the steamed buns, they will have to mutiny!"

When Zhu Yijun heard this, he was stunned by the corruption of the Jingying and even the Ming government.This motherfucker is the Central Imperial Army. It used to be the most powerful army in the world. In its heyday, this army used to have firearms in half.Five expeditions in the desert, turning the mighty Golden Family into a guerrilla!

Now it has actually become a rotten nest and a big rotten root!No wonder, no wonder this big tree was attacked by Li Zicheng and the Manchu Qing a few decades later, and the Central Army was corrupted into this grandma bear.

There is only one thing, most of the servants of the minister's family in the capital are actually hired by the imperial court!And everyone is accustomed to it, Zhu Yijun can't think of any other words to describe it except the big joke in the world.His face was red and white, and there was an urge to destroy everything!This crap, it's better to abolish the number and practice again!

Why did Zhang Juzheng dare to tell the emperor this?In fact, since Wu Zong, every emperor knows that there is no good way to do it. If you go to war, you will have to play with the royal family first!As a last resort, successive emperors were like ostriches buried in the sand, closing their eyes and pretending to be invisible!
As for the salaries of the soldiers, all the ministries share profits from the central appropriation, which is also a major malpractice of the imperial court. Zhang Juzheng is determined to get rid of it, and first drizzle on the emperor.

Zhu Yijun took a few deep breaths and said solemnly, "This is a cancer! Mr. intends to get rid of it!"

Zhang Juzheng said: "I suggested to the emperor before that he should review them frequently. Why is Duke Cheng so tired this time? Didn't the emperor want to review the Beijing camp?"

He laughed again and said: "I heard that on the day of the emperor's review, those who came to order the mao will give one tael of silver; those who can run and exercise will give two taels of silver, and those who can ride and shoot will give five taels of silver!

Zhu Yijun sneered and said, "The 10 taels from Duke Cheng's house is a good deal. Not to mention a prince, he also bought an amulet!"

Zhang Juzheng nodded and said yes, and echoed back: "Gong Guogong is the head of honors and honors, and he is the only one who can suppress the position of Jingying."

"If it wasn't for the emperor saying that he was going to patrol the capital, how could anyone have practiced soldiers in the past few years. Under the anxiety of the king, he couldn't help but frighten himself, and he couldn't afford it if he fell ill."

　I can't open my eyes, that's all.Good night!
