Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 228 The Great Governor Zhu Youjian
"Ba Zong! It's not good, people from the Four Cavalry Guards and the Second Battalion of Shuntian have taken over our barracks!"

"What did you say?!"

In the early morning of November [-]th, when the people in the capital did not know that Gongshunhou's Mansion was abolished, Tiance, Habayashi, Longxiang, Xiaoqi and Four Guards united with Daxing Camp and Wanping Camp to take over the Five Armies Governor's Mansion and the Beijing Camp .

The soldiers and horses of the three major battalions in the capital began to gather together with the generals as the unit. However, when they all gathered, they found that the honorable officers of the previous generals and battalion officers had disappeared one after another.

For a while, people in the Beijing camp were uneasy, and the only [-] remaining generals with no background could not find a backbone.

The entire Beijing camp fell into an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness. In such an atmosphere, they were still defenseless in cotton-padded clothes and confronted the four cavalry guards.

"squeak……"

When the gate of the barracks opened, everyone looked towards the gate anxiously, and the one who rode into the barracks was Sun Yingyuan, the governor of the right army's mansion who had prepared early.

He was riding on a tall war horse, dressed in armor, followed by the iron cavalry of Xiaoqiwei.

As he led his men into the barracks on horseback, the sixteen generals looked at me and I looked at you, wondering if they should salute.

But at this time, a general in his early twenties stood up and bowed:
"Zhou Yuji, the commander-in-chief of the Left Army of the Fifth Army Battalion, see Dudu Sun!"

"The Right Army of the Fifth Army Battalion..."

"The Left Army of the Fifth Army Battalion..."

"The former army of the Fifth Army Battalion...see Dudu Sun!"

Under the leadership of Zhou Yuji, many generals began to stand in line, calling Sun Yingyuan Sun Dudu.

At the same time, Sun Yingyuan nodded slightly, and said:

"According to the order of Long Live, the five armies' governor's mansion and the reform of the Beijing camp. This governor came today to abolish the Beijing camp!"

As soon as Sun Yingyuan opened his mouth, he was shocked, and he opened his mouth to abolish the three major battalions, which made many generals feel uneasy.

"But don't worry, anyone who is young and strong and can endure hardships and stand hard work can stay and continue to eat military food, but the place to take office will no longer be in the capital."

Sun Yingyuan gave them a booster and announced at the same time:

"I see that almost everyone has arrived. If so, let's start!"

The sudden abolition caught tens of thousands of people in Beijing camp off guard. They never expected that Sun Yingyuan would execute it so quickly.

After all, the three battalions are known as [-] troops, and Sun Yingyuan dared to abolish them with the four guards and the second battalion. It is true...

They couldn't tell, because they also knew that the so-called [-] people were just listening, and there were actually not many people in the entire Beijing camp.

Zhu Youjian understood how weak the Beijing camp was, so he directly asked Sun Yingyuan to lead troops to abolish it. To put it bluntly, he didn't take the Beijing camp seriously.

The Beijing camp has always had the disadvantages of occupation and falsehood.

Occupation means that soldiers perform hard labor for the generals. In a small camp of [-] people, such soldiers can reach [-] to [-] people, and there are also disadvantages such as being idle and doing sex.

Pretense means that there is no such person in the army. The generals, relatives, eunuchs, and tyrants pretend to be strong men in the army with their own servants, and receive a generous salary every month.

In history, Li Banghua, a capable minister in the Donglin Party, took the initiative to ask for an order to investigate the Beijing camp, took back [-] enlisted soldiers, and cleared out [-] fakes.

In his memorial to Chongzhen, he even said that although the three major battalions had more than [-] troops, half of them were old and weak.

According to the usual practice, when there is a shortage of places in the Beijing camp, the common people are allowed to apply, and most of these old and weak people came in through bribery.

Li Banghua, a man without much military power, just relied on his courage to reform the Beijing camp, and personally tested the selection of soldiers, and he did not hire anyone who was not young and strong.

The final result was that in the Beijing camp with [-] horses, Li Banghua only selected [-] forwards and [-] auxiliary soldiers, and there were still [-] battalions of old and weak soldiers who were not abolished.

In other words, in the Beijing camp during the Chongzhen period, there were [-] soldiers and horses, at least [-] were old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were all related households who entered the door through the relationship of Xunchen. Only [-] people could be beaten, and the remaining The more than [-] people under him were abolished without any background.

This was the case during the reign of Chongzhen, and it was not bad during the reign of Tianqi. This is why Zhu Youjian dared to use the four cavalry guards and the two battalions of Daxing and Wanping to abolish the Beijing camp.

Of course, just abolition is not enough, because Li Banghua was cheated like this in history.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the suburbs of the capital were attacked by Jianlu. For this, Li Banghua sent [-] cronies who had trained for a year to guard Tongzhou, and [-] cronies to reinforce Jizhou. He personally led various troops to station outside the capital.

As a result, not long after, the Ministry of War sent an order to Li Banghua to withdraw with the Beijing camp to guard the female wall, so the sentries did not dare to go far, and the internal and external news were interrupted.

At this time, Li Banghua asked the court to guard against bandits, arrest spies, disband illegal gangs, and strictly prohibit spreading rumors.

And because of the weak military strength in the outer city of the capital, Li Banghua, as a civil servant, took the initiative to ask to leave the city and defend it with the help of stone bridges instead of the city walls.

But at this time, in order to regain power, the ministers began to fabricate rumors and spread them to the palace, which made Chongzhen suspicious.

Li Shouqi, the uncle of Xiangcheng at that time, the governor of Jingying, also hated Banghua for overpowering him, and took the opportunity to slander him.

Just at this time, Mangui's troops were resisting Houjin's troops outside Desheng Gate. Li Banghua also ordered the city to light cannons to help Mangui. As a result, for some reason, the well-trained Beijing camp gunners picked up Mangui's troops. The shelling of the barracks accidentally injured many soldiers in Mangui.

After this incident happened, all officials from the government and the opposition went to the public to talk about it. Some people in the Donglin Party could not understand Li Ruhua, who was a practical man. Not many people came forward to protect him, so Chongzhen had no choice but to dismiss him and let him return to his hometown. idle.

Since then, the people who took over all took Banghua as a lesson, and most of them followed the old ways and tolerated traitors, so there was no way to talk about military affairs.

In fact, it is not difficult to see that the shelling of the Mangui barracks was done by Xungui using his previous influence.

After all, in order to defend Tongzhou and Jizhou, Li Banghua sent out [-] of his cronies, and most of the rest were officers and generals who were involved with Xunchen.

So Zhu Youjian learned this lesson. His order to Sun Yingyuan was to abolish the Beijing camp and then completely disband it.

Anyone who dares to make trouble will be the leader of the West Market!
With Li Banghua's lessons learned, Zhu Youjian didn't want to let other people mix in the army.

For this reason, Zhu Youjian even gave Sun Yingyuan an order, that is, all soldiers in the Beijing camp can be abolished when necessary, and each person will be repatriated after one year's military salary according to the military salary of the Beijing camp.

With Zhu Youjian's military order, Sun Yingyuan became more daring when he started to do things. He originally wanted to abolish everyone in the Beijing camp, but Zhou Yuji's appearance just now gave him an inexplicable feeling.

He always felt that this Zhou Yuji gave him a feeling of closeness, so when he commanded the army to start dismantling the Beijing camp, Sun Yingyuan called Zhou Yuji to him and said:
"Where is your native place, have you ever had any noble people in your ancestors?"

"The current resident of Jinzhou under the bid is originally from Fenghu Mountain in Suining, Southern Zhili Province. There has never been a prominent person in his ancestors. The highest is the official of the Jinzhou Guard Hundred Households."

Zhou Yuji saluted and answered honestly, but Sun Yingyuan heard that he had no background, nodded in satisfaction and said:

"His Royal Highness announced that I will abolish the Beijing camp, and then divide the Beijing camp into the five military camps, the three thousand camps, the Shenji camp, the Xuanwu camp, the Huangcheng camp, and the Zhangwu camp... and so on to the sixth camp."

"In your opinion, how many people can be left in this capital camp?"

"According to my opinion, six thousand people!" Zhou Yuji replied straightforwardly, and said:

"Except for [-] young men with no background, everyone else should be dismissed!"

Zhou Yuji is not stupid, knowing that Sun Yingyuan is giving him a chance, he also wants to find a family background for himself.

Sun Yingyuan also nodded in satisfaction with his way, and then said:

"The matter of dismantling is up to you. If the matter is completed, you will be a member of the [-] Battalion."

"Thank you for your promotion!" The young Zhou Yuji knelt down on one knee excitedly, and shouted back.

"It's up to you whether things will work out or not." Sun Yingyuan stood up, glanced at Zhou Yuji meaningfully, then turned and left.

"Farewell to the governor!" Zhou Yuji sang loudly, and then slowly got up after Sun Yingyuan left.

He turned around and looked at the various troops in the capital camp who were gradually being driven away, and then unconsciously touched the handle of the knife...

"Hardly criticize the ministers! Depose Gongshunhou's mansion privately! Isn't this a contempt for Emperor Cheng Zuwen?!"

When Sun Yingyuan found a good helper for the abolition of the Beijing camp, Gao Panlong was frantically impeaching Zhu Youjian against many ministers and Zhu Youxiao who was on the dragon chair in the Huangji Hall outside the imperial palace.

Last night, the matter of Gongshun Hou's Mansion fermented. Everyone knew that Zhu Youjian deposed Wu Ruyin's title, and directly demoted this two-hundred-year-old Hou's Mansion to a commoner.

The reason why the news was transmitted so quickly was also because Zhang Weixian and many other dignitaries came to court early this morning.

The reason they came was very simple. They didn't want to intimidate, but they just wanted to see the emperor's attitude.

If the emperor also supports King Qi, then there is no way, Xungui's foundation is simply not enough for His Royal Highness King Qi to toss about.

Facts have proved that Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youxiao, and many civil servants still underestimated the waste of honored ministers, and they have all been kicked on the nose by Zhu Youjian, and even some uncles will be deprived of their titles if they pass on to another generation, but they still Don't dare to be presumptuous.

Zhu Youjian's arrangement was too dense, and his reaction was too fast. The only trump card for Xunchen was the Beijing camp. However, when they recalled all the noble children to discuss matters last night, they didn't expect Sun Yingyuan to suddenly appear in the capital just after the genius appeared. , And led the troops to the Beijing camp.

What is the level of the Beijing camp, can the ministers not know?
Just looking at the number of people, there are [-], but if there is a real fight, I am afraid that they will be beaten to the ground by the four cavalry guards before the morning court begins.

Without Jingying, what trump card does Xungui have?
Salt merchant?

Don't joke, if they really dare to encourage the salt merchants, Zhu Youjian will probably die of joy.

What will happen to Liao merchants?There is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who does not know.

The result of Zhu Youjian's enduring Liao merchants' three collusion with the enemy is that this matter is particularly bad. Once the merchant commits a crime, he can pull this matter out.

Not to mention a small number of people, that's what Wenchen said when Liaoshang was involved. As a result, Wenchen was slapped in the face by Liaoshang, and finally he was severely mocked by Zhu Youjian's military newspaper.

No matter how the merchants dare to commit crimes, Zhu Youjian will have no possibility of fear, that is, he will draw his sword directly.

This time, Zhang Weixian and others could see clearly that the power of Xunchen alone could not defeat Zhu Youjian, and it was impossible for them to fall to Wenchen, because they had too little capital in their hands.

Wenchen also looked down on the Beijing camp that was about to be abolished.

But this is not to say that civil servants will not take care of them, on the contrary, civil servants will definitely take care of them.

Without him, if Zhu Youjian is allowed to reform the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, abolish the Tianxia Guard, and reorganize the Beijing Camp, then the civil servants will really have to kill them.

Even though Zhu Youjian has already controlled more than [-]% of the military power in the world, at least [-]% are on the side of the civil servants, and the rest who are vacillating can also be wooed.

The reason is that the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has no prestige at all. Since the Tumu Fort change in the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of War, which was originally the Logistics Management Office of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion, has sprung up and seized the military power of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion long ago.

Now Zhu Youjian is demanding the reform of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. The civil servants don't know what the reform requires, but they know a little bit.

If the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion revives, then the Ministry of War will be reduced to a logistics department again, and even the logistics department will not be able to rank, because the Yuma Supervisor takes care of everything.

Without the name of controlling the military power, the [-]% of the military power in the hands of the civilian officials is nothing more than a matter of a few transfer orders.

They will not do rebellious things, because they cannot push out a backbone.

They just want to contain Zhu Youjian and let him not go too far.

However, it can also be seen from their thoughts that they have gradually begun to fear Zhu Youjian.

From the beginning, they wanted Zhu Youjian to leave the feudal clan quickly, and then they panicked as soon as Zhu Youjian left the capital.

Afterwards, they wanted to take down Zhu Youjian's military power. As a result, it was impossible for them to remove Zhu Youjian's military power. They just wanted to contain Zhu Youjian and maintain the current balanced situation.

However, in such a situation, there are always some people who are willing to serve as Xungui's spearmen, and this person is Gao Panlong and others in the Donglin who only know how to fight against differences.

He impeached Zhu Youjian loudly in the Huangji Hall, ignoring Zhu Youxiao's slightly frowned brows.

"After the restoration of the Liao Dynasty, King Qi's official position as the general manager of the Liao Dynasty has been abolished, but the King of Qi can still command the Shangzhi, Gongwei Battalion and other troops at will. I have never heard of any dynasty's princes who can not go through the Ministry of War And the emperor came to privately mobilize troops!"

"Long live! King Qi dares to depose Gongshunhou's mansion today, so will he commit crimes tomorrow?!"

Gao Panlong's tone was sad, kneeling on the gold bricks, holding a wat board, people didn't know that Zhu Youjian had rebelled.

"Long live! My minister Wan Yanyang seconded the proposal, please long live the general of the Han Dynasty to go to the Yanshan camp, and ask the king of Qi to serve as a vassal!"

Wan Yanyang also stood up, and the meaning of Fengjing's feudal status has changed at this moment, it can be said to be a disguised form of confinement.

"It's a real joke!"

At this time, an official of the Qi Royal Party stepped forward, holding a wat board and shouting:
"Everyone knows that Prince Qi is dedicated to the public. Besides, if you want to rebel, why not when the former emperor is on the way? Why did you delay until now?"

"Long live! Please punish Gao Panlong and Wan Yanyang for alienating the heavenly family!"

"Long live, the ministers and others seconded the proposal..."

For a time, nearly one-tenth of the hundreds of ministers in the Huangji Palace stood up. Among them were the King Qi Party and the Eunuch Party. In short, they all knew that unless the emperor made a statement, they had to stand on King Qi's side.

The stronger King Qi behaved, the more correct their choice was.

The worse the parties are suppressed, the more chances they have to sit in the vacant seats.

"Long live! Minister..."

"Okay..." Seeing that Gao Panlong, Wan Yanyang and a group of Donglin civil servants wanted to say more, Zhu Youxiao stopped impatiently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, many ministers shut their mouths in an instant, waiting to see his statement.

However, the officials of the Royal Qi Party and the Eunuch Party were not disappointed. Zhu Youxiao said immediately after speaking:

"I know about the dismissal of the Marquis of Gongshun. His third son, Wu Weihua, smuggled arms, smuggled gunpowder from the Beijing camp, and armor to fund the northern captives. King Qi did nothing wrong."

"In addition, the transfer of troops and horses is also my permission."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao was going to make a summary of this matter, so he took a deep breath and said:
"Xuanzhi, from now on, the five armies will be reorganized, and the middle five armies will be changed to the east, west, north, south, four armies, plus the navy, and the upper straight."

"The fourth army and the navy are the fifth army. Together with Shangzhi, each has a governor. Above the governors of the five armies, there is a special governor to control the Chinese and foreign militaries. They can mobilize the troops of Shangzhi."

"Let's talk about the merits again. In the first battle of the Liao Dynasty, King Qi made the first contribution. He temporarily took the post of the governor of the five armies' governor's mansion, and also served as the governor of Shangzhi."

"Give Qi Wang Zongrong Yuma Supervisor, and then give Qi Wang the right to open the mansion. The Ministry of Industry will start to discuss with Qi Wang, and quickly build the Qi Wang Mansion in Beijing."

"Long live, no—" Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, all the ministers except the Qi royal party and the eunuch party bowed to the ground, shouting no.

"Long live! Since the founding of the country, my dynasty has never had the post of commander-in-chief of the five armies, let alone granting the prince the right to open the mansion?"

"Long live! The governor of the five-army governor's mansion should be led by the Minister of the Ministry of War. How can I ask the prince to take it on his behalf?"

"Long live! The royal horse supervisor's tax is comparable to the national treasury, how can it be handed over to the king of Qi Zongrong?"

"Long live……"

Zhu Youxiao's will was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and everyone started to go online and expressed various opinions.

The reason why they are like this is also because although Zhu Youjian has the power of Yumajian, Shangzhi, and Gongweiying, he has no name.

Right now, Zhu Youxiao means not only to recognize the name, but also to increase the power. It is strange that civil servants do not object.

Especially Kaifu, what does Kaifu represent?That is to represent a small imperial court.

To put it bluntly, if the ministers in the court cannot be reused, this small court can immediately replace the big court to run the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, Zhu Youxiao is actually preparing to start innovation.

This move can be said to have offended the interests of the gentry and merchants. Except for the satisfaction of the people, the imperial power, and the new King Qi, no other force would be satisfied.

"My will has been decided!" Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers in the hall with a strong tone.

"Since Long Live insists on this, please allow me to resign!"

Gao Panlong shouted loudly, glaring at Zhu Youxiao, and Zhu Youxiao was also taken aback.

Is there such a good thing?

"Sure!" Zhu Youxiao agreed without even thinking about it. He had already had enough of this old boy's impeachment every day, and now he happened to be punished.

After all, Zhu Youxiao was afraid that Gao Panlong and others would regret it, so he got up and prepared to leave, leaving behind all the party officials crying in the hall.

After walking out of the Huangji Hall and sitting on the chariot, Zhu Youxiao checked Wei Zhongxian who was following up next to him and confessed:

"Let someone ask my younger brother about the official positions of the Five Armies Commander's Mansion after the reform, and who is recommended for the official positions, and come up with a list."

"The maidservant leads the order..." Wei Zhongxian responded with a guilty conscience, and the reason for the guilty conscience was also because the emperor gave King Qi too much power.

Throughout the ages, the only one who has such power is the King of Qin Li Shimin, General Tiance, and Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion may not be as good as Zhu Youjian's Qi Wang Mansion.

At most, the Tiance Mansion is for the internal and external military affairs of the Tang Dynasty, but the logistics needs the help of other forces in the Tang Dynasty.

But Qi Wangfu is different, the tax of Yumajian is almost comparable to the entire six departments and five temples. It can be said that Zhu Youxiao gave his younger brother all the power of another Ming Dynasty.

Except for the name of an emperor, Zhu Youjian is really no different from the emperor.

"Still too young..."

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Zhu Youxiao vaguely, thought about the ages of Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youjian, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

It is estimated that throughout the ages, only these two brothers can be so messy...

And Wei Zhongxian's idea is actually Zhu Youjian's idea.

When Jin Yiwei rushed eight hundred miles and delivered Zhu Youxiao's imperial decree in the capital to Zhu Youjian's hand an hour later, he immediately felt how "heavy" the imperial decree was in his hand.

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youjian at the entrance of the main hall of the Yanshan Daying Yumajian Yamen respectfully put the imperial decree into the wooden box prepared by Lu Wenzhao.

After seeing with his own eyes that Lu Wenzhao ordered someone to put away the imperial decree, Zhu Youjian said:

"My brother's trust, I can't live up to it."

"Draft the memorandum, and fill in the names of the official positions of the five armies' governor's mansions."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Lu Wenzhao immediately ordered someone to move the table, and personally spread out the new official job list of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion written by Zhu Youjian last night, and wrote it on the two columns of Dadudu and Shangzhidudu. Write down Zhu Youjian's name.

Zhu Youjian watched Lu Wenzhao write his name, and then said:

"Promote Sun Yingyuan as the commander of the Eastern Army, Qin Bangping as the commander of the Western Army, Man Gui as the commander of the Northern Army, Qi Jin as the commander of the Southern Army, and Huang Long as the commander of the Navy."

"Then promote Qin Liangyu to the general army of Sichuan, Ma Xianglin to the general army of Yunnan, Qin Banghan to the general army of Guizhou, Qin Minping to the general army of Duogan, and Qin Yiming to the general army of Uszang."

"Qi Yuangong is the commander-in-chief of Guangdong, Qi Yuanfu is the commander-in-chief of Fujian, and Qin Gongming is the commander-in-chief of Guangxi."

"Li Rubai is the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, Lu Qin is the commander-in-chief of Shanxi, and Yang Zhaoji is the commander-in-chief of Hexi."

"He Shixian is the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, You Shigong is the commander-in-chief of Shandong, and Qi Yuanbi is the commander-in-chief of Zhejiang."

"Zhang Jixian was the commander-in-chief of Henan, Liu Dao became the commander-in-chief of Huguang, and Du Wenhuan was the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi."

"Sun Shoufa is the commander-in-chief of Northern Zhili, and Fan Ming is the commander-in-chief of Southern Zhili!"

Under Zhu Youjian's arrangement, in the next few years of Ming Dynasty, the commander-in-chief of the two capitals and fifteen provinces will be appointed.

After deciding on the candidates, Zhu Youjian added:

"Just continue to fill in the name with the official position I set, and the military establishment of each province is also set."

"There are four standing outer arch guard battalions in one province, and they are mainly responsible for guarding. These are the three battalions that the commander-in-chief can directly mobilize."

"In addition to these three battalions of soldiers and horses, each governor's mansion has [-] guard battalions directly under it, a total of [-]."

"Shangzhi Gongwei camp expanded to twenty-six, sixteen in North Zhili, and ten in South Zhili."

"In addition, the three guards of Daning were reorganized into Daning Guards, Yanshan Guards, and Duoyan Guards, and merged into the Sixteen Guards of Shangzhi."

"The three guards of Longjiang, Henghai, and Navy were directly merged into the navy, and the navy recruited nine more guards, making a total of twelve guards."

Zhu Youjian explained everything that needs to be explained, but Lu Wenzhao said after hearing this:
"Your Highness, you have dispatched Liu Daocheng and Fan Ming, the commanders of Xiaoqiwei and Longxiangwei..."

"In this way, you have to find a commander for the two guards, and you seem to have missed General Cao Wenzhao and his Duogan camp."

Zhu Youjian asked Lu Wenzhao's question without any hesitation:

"I have other purposes for Cao Wenzhao and his Duogan camp. As for Qin Yiming and Qin Minping, I will temporarily lead Duogan and Uszang away. I will deal with Uszang after the Hetao and Nurgan affairs are resolved. Tibetan."

"Since this is the case, then the humble position will write other people who have been arranged before as other official positions."

Lu Wenzhao nodded in response, and Zhu Youjian also narrowed his eyes and said:
"Let's write it, send it to Brother Huang after finishing it, it's going to be tomorrow, it's time to wash off the dirt..."

　bad news……

　　I want to seal it to number nine, because I injured my right leg, right hand, and right waist when I was riding a bicycle, so I sent the computer back at that time, and now I am lying in the hospital, using my mobile phone to code, so I have to use a computer for two shifts just work.

　　After the operation on the [-]th, if you can go on the [-]th, you can rest at home for two days, and resume two shifts on the [-]th.

　　If it is going to continue to be sealed, I can only see if I can get out of the hospital and find an e-sports hotel for isolation...
