Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 290

Finally it was time to reorganize the Beijing Army.

Taking advantage of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when the original Beijing camp was almost completely lost, Zhu Qiyu decided to completely streamline the organizational structure of the Beijing army.

There are a total of 26 Shangzhi personal guards in Beijing, except for the Jinyiwei and Yumajian four guards.The remaining 21 are quite mysterious. In major historical events, they never showed their faces and never showed their limelight; in major battles, they never appeared as independent guards.

The most important thing is that according to historical experience, when it comes to critical moments, these people cannot be counted on at all.

When it really came time to seize the door, this group of so-called Shangzhi personal guards, the emperor's pro-army, if they were not leading the party, their conscience would be discovered.

Do you want them to do their duty faithfully and defend the emperor?Don't be silly, what are you daydreaming about?

Being an emperor can't be innocent at all, Zhu Qiyu became cruel this time, and directly transferred all the 21 Beijing Shangzhi Guards to Nanjing, and mixed them with the [-] Shangzhi Guards in Nanjing.

There are a total of 38 Shangzhiqinwei, which were merged and reorganized into 24 branches.In the future, they will be collectively referred to as Shangzhi Qinwei, and no distinction will be made between Beijing Shangzhi and Nanjing Shangzhi.

The Beijing Camp in Nanjing also had to be reorganized.

The Xinjing Battalion consists of the Five Army Battalion, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Mountain Battalion and the Twelve Regiment Battalion.

The twelve regiment battalions are all composed of Shangzhi personal guards, and every two Shangzhi personal guards form a regiment battalion.

Most of the main Ming army led by Wang Ji and Chen Mao will stay in Nanjing and be reorganized into the Nanjing Jingying.

In addition, there are many mountains in the south, Zhu Qiyu decided to form a mountain battalion to train specifically for mountain combat.

As for the Beijing side, the Beijing Camp is composed of the Shenji Camp, the Xiaoqi Camp, and the Shenshu Camp.

Daning Dusi was renamed as Fengtian Dusi, and together with Yumajian, he was in charge of Zhu Qiyu's direct relatives in Beijing.

The four guards of Yumajian were merged into Tiance Guard.In the future, the three guards of Duoyan will be collectively referred to as Duoyan Guards.

In this way, the military structure of the capital is simple and clear, which can be summed up in four words: three battalions and three guards.

The Xiaoqi camp, the Shenji camp, and the Shenshu camp are the three camps.

Yingzhouwei, Tiancewei, and Duoyanwei are the three guards.

The third battalion was under the command of the Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army, assisted by the Ministry of War, and the emperor's cronies and eunuchs supervised the army.

The three guards were managed by the Fengtian Dusi, assisted by the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and the emperor's cronies, eunuchs, supervised the army.

Zhu Qiyu described his arrangement in detail with the generals present and the eunuchs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.

Everyone's feedback can also be summed up in four words: Son of Heaven Shengming.

Of course, if the same thing is evaluated by the commanders of Shangzhi's personal guards, what they say in their hearts can also be summed up in four words: Shang Zhou and Xia Jie.

It's a pity that those present are all Zhu Qiyu's cronies and beneficiaries of this army reorganization, so they naturally want to actively support the emperor.

For example, Hou Wangtong of Chengshan used to manage the Tiance Guard, a standard guard with more than [-] people.

Now the four guards of Yumajian have been merged into Tiance Guard. Tiance Guard has a total of five shooting guards in the east, west, south, north, and middle.

Hao Yi, the eunuch in charge of the Yumajian, was also very happy. He used to supervise the four guards of the Yumajian, a total of more than 10 people.Now supervise the entire pro-military three guards, close to [-] people.

Originally, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor could be ranked in the top five, or even the top three in the inner court.

After Zhu Qiyu made such an adjustment, Hao Yi's power became even more popular.

The Yuma Supervisor is a little different from other supervisory bureaus. The general supervisory bureau is a big eunuch with palm prints.

In addition to the palm seal eunuch, the ceremonial supervisor also has an admiral eunuch.

As for the Yumajian, there are the palm seal eunuch, the admiral eunuch, and the supervising eunuch. A total of three eunuchs are in power together.

To put it simply, in the Yumajian, the eunuch with palm seal is the top leader, the admiral eunuch is the second leader, and the supervising eunuch is the third leader.The three are all great eunuchs, they supervise each other, check and balance each other, and they cannot be dominated by one family.

Although Hao Yi is Zhu Qiyu's confidant, according to the usual practice, Zhu Qiyu appointed Zhang Yong as the eunuch and Ruan Xi as the eunuch.

From now on, in the defense of the imperial city, Ruan Xi is responsible for leading the Jing army to ensure the peace in the harem.Hao Yi is responsible for guarding the part of the imperial city except the harem.

Zhang Yong, as the double admiral of the inner factory and the imperial horse supervisor, is responsible for monitoring the entire imperial city for Zhu Qiyu.

There is also Wang Qin, who was appointed as the young supervisor of the Yuma Supervisor, became Hao Yi's deputy, and was trained as the future admiral of the West Factory.

Zhu Qiyu also felt that he promoted Wang Cheng, Shu Liang, Zhang Yong, and Wang Qin too quickly.

But there is no way, the selection of ministers of civil and military affairs requires the selection of talents.But for the inner court, it can only be nepotism.Which emperor came up is also such an operation process.

Especially the Yumajian, which involves the core military power, can only be nepotism.Ability and sincerity are not that important, loyalty comes first.

Since then, Wang Cheng has been appointed as the supervisor of ceremonies, Shu Liang has been appointed as the admiral of the East Factory, Zhang Yong has been appointed as the admiral of the inner factory, and Wang Qinhou has been appointed as the admiral of the West Factory.

Zhu Qiyu completely controlled the two vital points of the Sili Supervisor and the Yuma Supervisor.

Eunuchs are different from ministers. Zhu Qiyu has also replaced the cabinet bachelors and six ministers with his own people, but he still can't control the middle and lower officials.

As for eunuchs, they don't have so much persistence. It is the norm to follow the trend and follow the wind.

The most direct expression is that the Queen Mother Sun only made two tricks with Zhu Qiyu, and after suffering a little setback, the eunuchs below completely turned their backs.

At least on the surface, there is no eunuch who will sing against the emperor for the sake of Sun and Zhu Qizhen.

The bad thing is that the prince also received a cold reception along with him.Although Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything, the maids and eunuchs in the inner court had already decided that it was only a matter of time before the present prince Zhu Jianshen was deposed.

The world is hot and cold, and human relationships are hot and cold, and everything is like this, without exception.

After arranging the affairs of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, An Guogong Xu Heng asked: "Your Majesty, how should the Beijing camp be arranged? Will the Xiaoqi camp and the Shenji camp continue to fight at the border, or will they be reorganized in the capital?
Also, should we set up a martial arts school and select talents? "

Zhu Qiyu shook his head when he heard the words: "There is no rush for martial arts. This is too taboo for civil servants. Basically, the emperor set it up and the civil servants abolished it; the next emperor will set it up, and then the subsequent civil servants will abolish it.

Every change of imperial power will be accompanied by the rise and fall of martial arts.

Not only was it like this before, even the Ming emperors after me couldn't escape this rule. "

When all the generals heard this, they all smiled helplessly.

Zhu Qiyu also smiled wryly, and continued: "The main force of the Shenji Battalion is now in Xuanfu. I plan to transfer some Xiaoqi Battalion and Shenji Battalion to Xuanfu and Huailai.

Thereby improving the deterrence of Xuanfu and Huailai.

Don't worry, An Guogong, civil servants will also participate in tomorrow's court meeting. I want to merge the capitals of the five military governors in Beijing and the five military governors in Nanjing, and redefine the jurisdiction of the five major military governors.

In the future, the military governor's office will be in charge of Beizhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Shaanxi.Except for the three guards of the pro-army, I will hand over the rest of the entire Gyeonggi army to An Guogong. "
