Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 113 Border Security

Chapter 113 Border Security
After inspecting the Beijing camp, it was already noon, and the drill was ordered to be exempted for one day. Zhu Qiyu returned to the palace amidst the cheers of the officers and soldiers.

Although this trip to the palace is a bit expensive, but overall, it is worth it.

Along the way, at least along the way, Zhu Qiyu looked at the faces of the civil servants and generals, which were different from the gloomy before, with a bit of relief.

The officers and soldiers are not strong enough to say anything is nonsense.

Only by allowing everyone to truly see the combat power of the officers and soldiers can people feel at ease. Now that after this performance of martial arts, the ministers in the capital should almost have confidence in defending the capital.

Of course, if there are happy people, there will be unhappy ones.

For example, on the Xun Qi side, a group of nobles headed by Old Master Chen kept their faces dark all the time.

Just how far-sighted they are, from the front and rear cooperation of the infantry and cavalry, and the orderly changes in the formation of the officers and soldiers, we can see what the combat power of the Beijing camp is.

Even if this is an elite soldier deliberately selected by Yu Qian, it is not easy to have such combat power.

It's just that such earth-shaking changes have taken place in the Beijing camp, but it has nothing to do with Xunqi, which makes people uncomfortable.

What's more, with the previous situation of the Beijing camp, the Beijing camp trained by Yu Qian has changed so much in such a short period of time.

Doesn't this make it all the more obvious that the relatives who were in charge of the Beijing camp before were eating vegetarian meals in corpses.

It was a slap in the face!

However, when he returned to the palace, the emperor still did not let him go. Instead, he summoned a group of ministers in the Hall of Martial Arts, and asked Chen Mao's name.

"Ningyanghou, you have been fighting outside all year round. What do you think of the Beijing camp's tactics today?"

Old Hou Ye's face was dark, but he still reluctantly cupped his hands.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the combat power of the Beijing camp has indeed improved compared to before. If the more than [-] officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp have this combat power, they will be able to keep the capital safe. It is the old minister Meng Lang who reorganized the regiment camp in the Shangshu. Now From the looks of it, it’s really quite effective.”

Although he was still unhappy in his heart, Old Master Chen had a martial temperament, he would not say anything against his will, and he would not hide it when he opened his mouth, and he immediately admitted his mistake.

After all, the real Beijing camp is standing there, and it is simply untenable to insist that the reform of the regiment camp is wrong.

Under the current situation, regardless of the disadvantages of the regiment and battalion system, as long as the combat power can be improved, everything is easy to say.

Yu Qian also stepped forward and said: "Master Hou has won the award. This is because the soldiers of the Beijing camp practiced with one heart and the same hatred. It is not the work of one person."

After thinking for a while, Yu Qian explained: "Master Hou, the dismissal of Luo Xun's Qi's children is not aimed at the nobles. In fact, there are many Gaoliang disciples in the Beijing camp. If they are not dismissed, it will be difficult to clean up the military style and discipline. It is really a last resort." .”

After all, now is the time for civil and military officials to join forces to fight against the enemy, and Yu Qian doesn't want to have a too stiff relationship with Chen Mao, the leader of the Xun Qi.

Chen Mao's complexion improved, and he reluctantly cupped his hands in return.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that in recent years, there have been too few successful disciples among the imperial relatives of the capital, and a lot of them have been doing errands in the capital camp.

If it were him to reorganize the army, the first thing he would do would be to beat these people back home.

It's just that Jingying has always been the power in the hands of the Xunqi, and it was suddenly taken away by the civil servants, and the old man was just upset.

Seeing that the two barely reconciled, Zhu Qiyu also smiled and said.

"The state is in dire straits, and it is still necessary for all of you to work together to fight against the enemy. I have left all of you here today because I have important matters to discuss."

The emperor had already spoken, and the ministers under him naturally put away their thoughts of watching the excitement and pricked up their ears to listen.

Even Chen Mao, who had been reluctant all along, became awed.

But Zhu Qiyu didn't speak directly, but pointed to Chen Yi who was beside him, and said.

"The matter was reported by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the chief constitution should say it."

It is said that important ministers are called to discuss matters, but in fact there are not many people.

On the side of the civil servants, there are Minister of War Yu Qian, cabinet ministers Chen Xun, Gao Gu, Zuodu Censor Chen Yi, Household Minister Shen Yi, and Youdu Censor Wang Wen.

On the side of the military generals of Xunqi, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, Li Xian, Marquis of Fengcheng, Zhao Rong, Uncle Xincheng, Shi Jing, the captain of the consort, and Zhang Min, the commander of the Jingwei Commander, plus a man who was there for some reason The commander of Jinyiwei here is Lu Zhong.

Most of them are officials related to military affairs. From this point of view, the discussion today must also be military affairs.

Chen Yi took the order and stepped forward and said: "A few days ago, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was ordered by the imperial court to send an inspector censor to inspect the border. Now most of the memorials have been submitted. During this inspection, the problems that occurred at the border gates A lot, roughly four points."

"First, there is fraud from top to bottom, and there is a serious shortfall."

"Secondly, some guards misappropriated the officers and soldiers for their own use, resulting in poor drills and lax military law."

"Thirdly, some guards are so arrogant that they regard the court censor as nothing."

"Fourth..."

Every time Chen Yi said something, Xun Qi's face that had just recovered turned darker, and he co-authored it today to settle accounts?

But what made their faces dark was yet to come.

Speaking of the fourth, Chen Yi paused for a moment, his two sword-like eyebrows were furrowed, and his aura shocked all the officials.

"Fourth, in the past few days, a large army has been stationed outside the city of Datong, sending out cavalry to harass all the passes."

"Guardian Kang Neng of Huailai, General Ruan Kui of Yongning, Commander Zheng Qian and Xu Fu of Chicheng Castle, Commander Yao Xuan of Diao'ebao, Yi Qian of Hundred Households of Longmen..."

"A total of five generals guarding the pass, fearing the army first, abandoned the city one after another and fled to Juyongguan. Sun Bin, the commander of Juyongguan, has been guarded and sent to prison. Please report his crime to the court."

What the hell?Abandon the city and flee?
Chen Mao almost jumped up from the chair.

These incompetent bastards!
Old Hou Ye has fought in battle all his life, and what he hates the most are those who run away.

Hearing the news suddenly, Chen Mao's beard and hair were all stretched out, and he wished he could go to Juyongguan in person, and the military law dealt with these bastards.

However, Chen Yi's words continued.

"Affected by the abandonment of the five pass guards, there are already dozens of pass guards on the border who are afraid and have no intention of sticking to it."

"The soldiers and civilians in Huailai, Yongning and other places were influenced by the guards, and they moved to the pass with their families. Most of the passes were empty, and the people in other passes were also dispersed."

"The report from Juyongguan the day before yesterday indicated that tens of thousands of people on the border had been recruited. Food and houses were insufficient. The imperial court had urgently dispatched grain and grass to supplement the reserves at Juyongguan. At the same time, it ordered the local officials to evacuate the people to the nearby pass, but with little effect."

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he cupped his hands and retreated into the distance.

But the officials in the palace were silent. They didn't expect that the first thing the emperor would do to keep them was such a serious matter.

Even Xun Qi, who originally wanted to defend the general, couldn't open his mouth.

These people are too useless!

Yexian's army hadn't come over yet, they just sent rangers to harass them, and they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled.

You must know that abandoning the city and fleeing without authorization is like running away from the battle. If you put it on the battlefield, you will be punished by military law.

Of course, the bosses never hesitated about how to deal with those cowardly generals.

What really worries them is the situation on the border.

These guards would rather take the risk of being imprisoned by the military law and flee back to Juyongguan, which shows how jittery the border has become.

All of a sudden, the joy brought by the bosses because of the outstanding combat power of the Beijing camp disappeared without a trace.

Zhu Qiyu, who sat high on the head, snorted softly, knocked on the table with his hands, and said calmly.

"These guards, I have already ordered people to take them back to the capital and put them in prison for trial. Next, let's discuss how to organize the defense of the border!"
