Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

The protection and blessing of the imperial power comes from the military power to a large extent. This is also the root cause of why the civil servants should control the Ministry of War and overthrow the five-army governor's mansion.

The idea of ​​'governing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats' has deeply influenced many civil officials. In the eyes of the civil officials, the emperor just stays in the Forbidden City honestly and listens to their advice. As for other things, he has his own court to carry out solve.

But with the passage of time, Emperor Chongzhen held military power in his hands, and he didn't need to go through the process of the Ministry of War. He only needed a central decree to dispatch it, and the situation changed.

The Three Great Battalions, Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, Yongwei Battalion, Four Wei Battalion, Tianxiong Army, Dongjiang Army, Tianjin Army...

Even though most of the soldiers and horses are either in Shaanxi or in the Liaodong area, there are also quite a few soldiers and horses surrounding the capital.

"By the way, there is one more thing."

Seeing the ministers receiving the official letter and preparing to read it, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "I plan to increase the size of the lecture hall so as to train generals who can fight and dare to fight.

The Xiyuan Lecture Hall was changed to the Royal Military Academy. All generals who enter the three major battalions must enter this place for advanced studies before they can actually be awarded military positions.

[In other words, reading aloud and listening to books is currently the best, Yeguo Reading, install the latest version of .yeguoyuedu. 】

In Beijing, the Ming Army Lecture Hall, the Ming Artillery Lecture Hall, and the Ming Navy Lecture Hall were added in Tianjin. In addition, Liaodong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Shandong also added a Lecture Hall.

All the teachers needed for the martial arts hall, including the food and salaries needed for the preparation, are all settled by myself, and there is no need for the court to share too much worry, that's all right, you can see. "

"!
"

Wang Qia, Li Banghua and the others all showed surprise when they heard this remark, the Emperor's intention to completely change the Ming army is not allowed to be changed.

The establishment of the martial arts hall in Xiyuan was criticized by many civil officials in the court, but as time went by, the generals who left the martial arts hall did share a lot of worries for Ming Dynasty, and even made many meritorious deeds.

Faced with such a situation, although some civil officials in the court did not like the emperor's reliance on military generals, they could not say anything else. After all, the rebellion in the Ming Dynasty was indeed too serious.

But now the emperor has added so many martial arts lecture halls, and even renamed the Xiyuan lecture hall to the Royal Military Academy. This is clearly to elevate the status of the generals group.

Wang Qia, Li Banghua and the others can foresee that if this matter spreads in the court, it will definitely cause quite a disturbance.

But so what?

The addition of these lecture halls does not use the money from the treasury, but is fully supported by the emperor's internal funds. Even if there is opposition, the emperor will still do what he should do.

"Your Majesty, I feel that it takes a year to abolish the guards under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town, Shuntian Mansion, and Yongping Mansion, which is a bit too long."

Wang Zaijin looked at the official letter in his hand, frowned and said: "Based on the experience of abolishing the Jingwei, this matter cannot be delayed for too long, otherwise there will be many disturbances.

What's more, when specifying the garrison of the Gyeonggi garrison, the commander-in-chief of the four towns and the deputy commander-in-chief of the guards in various places were first clarified. The military aircraft department can clearly issue an order to implement the responsibility of guarding the land everywhere.

With the cooperation of the Ministry of War, I felt that the abolition of the guards should be implemented within half a year, which would be more beneficial to the country. "

...

"Regarding this matter, the Qing family has drawn up a detailed memorial."

Emperor Chongzhen thought for a while, looked at Wang Zaijin and said, "Abolishing the above-mentioned guards does not mean that the imperial court will abandon them.

Just like the soldiers of the guards in various places, they can be allocated corresponding land. If they can pass the screening and selection, they can supplement the garrisons in various places as soldiers.

In the future, the various armies involved in the Gyeonggi garrison, whether it is the distribution of food and salaries, or equipment such as ordnance and firearms, will be subject to the clearly determined personnel of each ministry, and the Ministry of War will conduct inspections every year. "

Emperor Chongzhen made up his mind this time to adjust the garrison of Gyeonggi. He wanted to achieve many goals, one of which was to rectify the bad government of the Communist Party of China.

If the corruption problem of the Ming army is not resolved for a day, then the Ming Dynasty cannot be called ordering things out of chaos.

The entire military system of the Ming Dynasty may be beyond the reach of Emperor Chongzhen, but he can gradually control the troops stationed around the capital.

"Your Majesty, regarding the review of the hereditary guard officials, can we wait for the situation to be clarified before conducting a centralized review?" Huang Liji said with a frown.

"After all, the adjustment and clarification of the Gyeonggi garrison involves many aspects. If this matter is carried out at the same time, it will inevitably make some people fear.

If during this period, some problematic guard officers fanned and bewitched the subordinate guard soldiers to resist the decision of the imperial court, it would not be good for the stability of Gyeonggi. "

"Well, that is indeed the case."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "If you are greedy, you can't chew it off. This matter is according to the Qing family's words, but the subsequent review must be strictly implemented.

The corruption of the guards in the Gyeonggi area was largely caused by these hereditary guards officials. Otherwise, Jianlu's invasion of the pass would not have been so smooth. "

When it comes to manipulating people, if civil servants dare to be number two, no one dares to be number one.

Get things done first, hold you high, wait for the situation to stabilize, and then deal with you ruthlessly.

"Your Majesty, apart from the group of guarding deputy commander-in-chief you specified, I feel that important passes like Juyongguan, Gubeikou, and Xifengkou should be clearly guarded by the generals."

Li Banghua said with a serious expression: "Around the garrison of the capital, three lines of defense should be defined, the outer Great Wall defense line, the central guard pass, and the core capital defense line.

Compared with the two areas of the center and the core, there are clear soldiers and horses garrisoned, and their authority must be strengthened in the important pass of the periphery. "

"indeed."

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "The overall garrison of the Gyeonggi garrison should not favor one over another, and fully consider every point.

This matter, the Military Aircraft Department must conduct discussions to clarify the corresponding adjustments of this part, and if necessary, some staff can be expanded. "

Regardless of Wang Qia's adjustment and clarification of the Gyeonggi garrison, he was full of worries, but Wang Zaijin, Huang Liji and the others showed a very positive attitude.

It is precisely because of the experience of Jianlu's invasion of the pass that they all understand that if they want to avoid similar things from happening, the court must calm down and solve the hidden dangers and bad governance that existed in the past, so as to ensure the stability of the country.

Regarding the performance of Wang Zaijin and the others, Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased. The Military Aircraft Department was really well established at the beginning. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic to concentrate power and solve some bad governance.

Regarding the match between the emperor and ministers of the Gyeonggi garrison, it has been carried out for a long time on the side of the Qianqing Palace. Many places that Emperor Chongzhen did not expect, Huang Liji and Wang Zaijin, they all supplemented one by one, which made the Emperor Chongzhen to make adjustments to the subsequent Gyeonggi garrison. , can be said to be full of confidence.
