Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 277

On the outskirts of Beijing, the right sentry of Shenshuying is stationed at Yuanmen.

"Why did Your Majesty think of inspecting the Beijing camp? He just sent someone to convey the order when Yujia was about to leave the inner city, telling me to gather here."

"That's right, Xin Lehou has some good fruits to eat. Fortunately, His Majesty didn't go to the Fifth Army Battalion, otherwise Ben Bo's side would be really difficult to deal with."

"Xin Lehou, what are you going to do? Your Majesty has come here so well, it's just on our right post, I'm afraid His Majesty..."

At this gate, military officials, internal officials, and some generals gathered from the Wujun Battalion, Shenshu Battalion, and Shenji Battalion. They gathered in groups of three or four, talking in low voices.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen came out of the Forbidden City without any warning to inspect the Beijing camp. This really hit a lot of people, and he was caught off guard.

As the capital camp to defend the capital, there are corresponding garrisons around the inner and outer cities of the capital, as well as the suburbs of the capital. After all, it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of troops to be crowded in the capital.

But how many soldiers and horses there are is a mess.

Relatives, ministers, and generals at all levels are all in the same environment. Even if there are a few who are not greedy, most of them are greedy. What can be changed?

Affected by the corruption of officials, not only the problems in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty are very serious, but there are also many problems in the army of the Ming Dynasty.

Drinking the blood of soldiers, eating empty wages, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, bullying the market...

There is only unexpected, nothing unseen.

"Marshal Zu, it's a coincidence that Your Majesty chose to inspect at the Shenshu Camp. Is there any problem?" Wu Xiang was wearing armor and standing with a knife, looking at the relatives not far away, frowning at Zu Shuai. Dashou said.

"The other military officials in the Shenshu camp, including the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion, I'm afraid there are many people who are waiting for His Majesty to come over and see our jokes."

Zu Dashou stood with a knife in his hand, staring at the front like a torch, and replied: "If you want to see a joke, let them watch it, although I am the right deputy general of the Shenshu Camp, but there are some things that are not so easy to solve.

Most of the relatives in the Beijing camp are not easy to deal with.

They are not connected on the surface, but somehow they are connected behind the scenes. Okay, it is a blessing or a disaster, and it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. With the left deputy general Lin Huaihou, and the right sentinel general Xin Lehou, even if His Majesty wants to Even if you get angry, you won't be able to burn us. "

Since Emperor Chongzhen was dragged from the Liaoqian position to serve in the Jingying, Zu Dashou stayed in the Shenshuying. Even if some generals were transferred from the Liaoqian, they were still constrained by the Jingying.

Daming, who is rotten up and down, didn't learn anything else, but in this circle of culture, he is very proficient in playing.

Zu Dashou was the speaker of the Liaodong generals. Although there was no such statement officially, in terms of human relations, his ancestral family's influence in the Liao Dynasty was very strong.

Which of the generals in the Liao land and the clans represented behind them have no interest in the ancestors?
It was also because Zu Dashou left Liaoqian and was promoted by Emperor Chongzhen to serve in the Beijing camp. This also made the members of the Liaodong generals gathered in Liaoqian, not because Yuan Chonghuan was arrested and Sun Chengzong went to Liao again.

After all, Sun Chengzong's prestige in Liao Dynasty still has some foundations.

For the same reason, as the group of honored relatives in Beijing, it is the only private land. Even though there are internal officials watching over them, most honored relatives in Beijing still don't want outsiders to get involved.

The essence of circle culture, isn't it just because of interests.

"Da da……"

The chaotic sound of horseshoes made everyone cheer up and gather together to welcome Sheng Jia's arrival.

Zhu Chunchen, Tang Guozuo and other leaders of the Jingwei who were accompanying them on horseback, and Sun Zushou, the admiral of the nine sects, led some generals of the Zhongyong Army, riding forward one by one with a cold expression.

"Hey yo..."

The sound of horses singing from time to time called out to the relatively quiet marching team, which seemed not so peaceful.

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting in the dragon chariot, leaned on the soft cushion with his eyes closed and recuperated. Wang Zaidan sat beside him, looking at his nose and heart. The experience of being dismissed from office in the past also allowed him to restrain his temper.

It is unrealistic for the Beijing camp, which is supervised by many greedy, useless, death-fearing relatives, and internal officials, to perform well. '

Emperor Chongzhen closed his eyes and meditated, secretly thinking: "When Zhou Yuji and the others come back from Shanxi, we can practice again in the Xiyuan Lecture Hall, and then start to reorganize the Beijing camp."

Before that, let's use Zu Dashou and other generals to make some noise in the three camps, and use the Shenshu camp as a model to reduce the pressure on the country. '

The Chongzhen Dynasty rectified the Beijing camp many times, but in the end it ended without a problem. The fundamental problem was that every time the rectification was normal, it was forced to stop because of one or another problem, which made the Beijing camp worse and worse.

So much so that when Jianlu invaded Daming in the second year of Chongzhen, the slave owners called Jianlu Eight Banners, after seeing Daming’s weakness in the pass, launched wars to invade the pass many times, and even the most exaggerated one, Jianlu broke through. North Zhili has been established, and it has reached the territory of Shandong.

In the end, despite heavy losses, Daming still failed to wipe out the invading Jianlu soldiers and horses, and asked Jianlu to take away a large number of people and wealth. This was undoubtedly the heaviest blow to Daming.

"The minister waits/the last general waits, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"Slaves, wait, pay homage to the emperor!"

When the dragon chariot arrived at the gate of the right post of the Shenshu Camp, one after another voices sounded. The Chongzhen Emperor closed his eyes and meditated, but did not respond at all, and instead stretched out his hand to signal Wang Zaijin.

"Your Majesty has an order, enter the camp!"

Wang Zaijin's voice resounded in the dragon chariot, which caused the people waiting outside to show different expressions, and they really couldn't fathom the emperor's actions.

Especially for Xin Lehou, the right sentry commander of Shenshu camp, Lin Huaihou, the left deputy general of Shenshu camp, Zu Dashou, the right deputy general of Shenshu camp, and others, all kinds of thoughts came to mind.

After the dragon chariot entered the camp, Emperor Chongzhen frowned slightly, and the faint smell wafting from outside made him slowly open his eyes.

"Wang Qing, it looks like what you said, this capital camp needs to be tidied up." Emperor Chongzhen picked up the small golden hammer on the side and tapped it twice, the dragon chariot that was going forward slowly stopped down.

Emperor Chongzhen lifted up the sleeves of his robe, bent down and walked out of the dragon chariot. He saw a group of military officials, courtiers, and generals accompanying him. He stepped on the imperial steps and walked down without saying anything.

The station of the right post of the Shenshu Camp looks so dilapidated, as if it came to a slum. This is all thanks to Emperor Chongzhen, who decided where to stay after leaving the inner city. time for any repairs.

"The camps of the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion are not even comparable to the Shenshu Battalion!" The Chongzhen Emperor, who stood with his hands down, turned around and looked at the people in front of him, with a cold expression on his face.

The military officials, ministers, and generals of the five military battalions and the Shenji battalion were all stunned when they heard what the emperor said. The right post of the Shenshu camp is poorly stationed. Hou, Zu Dashou and the others, why did they turn the fire on them?
