Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 292 Merging the Two Capitals and the Five Metropolitan Governments and Adding the Four Imperial Guards
Zhu Qiyu sighed, and continued: "There is also the Miao chaos in the south, at the end of next month, or at the beginning of next month, there should be big news.

I always feel that sooner or later something will happen that will shock the government and the public on the issue of quelling the Miao chaos.

Uncle Jingyuan Wang Ji, Marquis Liu Pu of Anyuan, Uncle Liang Ping of Baoding, Fang Ying, the deputy commander-in-chief, Hou Jing, the servant of the Ministry of War, these important ministers who control the main force of the Ming army, I don't know what they will do now. allow.

They may take the initiative to show their favor to me, and they may also give me a big color look.

People's hearts are too unpredictable, and I don't know what choice they will make. "

Lin Xiangyu asked worriedly: "What if they really embarrass your husband?"

"What else can I do, Yi tribe, I can't get used to the mistakes I made above. I would rather bear the name of a tyrant than let others do whatever they want.

If the civil and military officials feel that I am weak and can be bullied, sooner or later they will take an inch and kill our family.

Since it's either you die or I die, I choose to learn from Cao thief, and I would rather teach me to bear the world than to teach the world to bear me. "

Lin Xiangyu heard that, she didn't dare to continue this topic, so she asked her sisters to come over and serve Zhu Qiyu to sleep together.

Silent all night.

The next day, the 29th of the first month.

Because the trusted generals were summoned yesterday, the collective court meeting with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs was postponed for one day.

It was almost noon, and the cabinet bachelors, six ministers, An Guogong Xu Heng, Cao Guogong Li Xuan, and Dingguo Gong Xu Yongning had just gathered in the West Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu was still leaning on the soft couch on the third floor, and let everyone sit down one by one.

Everyone knew that today we were going to talk about the re-division of the five-army governor's mansion, so it was not surprising that the three princes attended the court meeting.

Zhu Qiyu also knew that everyone was eager to know what medicine he was going to sell in his gourd, so he didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the topic:

"First of all, the capitals of the five armies in Beijing and Nanjing will be merged. In the future, there will be no distinction between Beijing and Nanjing. There will only be front, rear, left, right, and middle capitals.

But I will also follow the old system of the Han Dynasty and add four guard houses in the east, west, south, and north, which are on the same level as the governor's house.

In this way, the front, back, left, right, middle, east, south, west, and north, a total of nine prefectures, are complete. "

The Dudufu and Duhufu were all built in their respective jurisdictions, and were no longer concentrated in the capital.

For example, the Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army, located in Xuanfu, governs all the guards in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gyeonggi, and Shandong.It is mainly responsible for defending Beijing and resisting the invasion of the Mongolian tribes in the north.

In particular, the entire Hetao area under its jurisdiction must be completely brought under Ming's control, and no Mongols are allowed to occupy it.

There is also the current Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, which is in charge of the capital of Liaodong, Shandong, and Zhejiang. I don't know who divided it. These three places do not border each other. How did they come together?
Later, the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army was changed to govern Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan.

The Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army was changed to govern Nanzhili and Zhejiang.

The Governor's Mansion of the Right Army governs Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi.

The former military governor's office governed Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangxi. "

Everyone heard the words and reacted differently.

Wang Wen, Luo Tong, He Yi, Huang Pu, and the other three dukes of the state had already known about this matter, and they just sat there calmly.Didn't care much.

The rest of the people looked at each other and whispered.

But after a cup of tea, everyone quieted down, and no one stood up to object.Because there is really nothing to say, anyway, the two capitals and thirteen provinces are under the administration of the five armies.As for the specific distribution, it seems that it does not hinder everyone.

Chen Xun asked casually: "Your Majesty, who is in charge of the Liaodong capital?"

Zhu Qiyu replied without hesitation: "From the Liaodong capital, a Guangning capital was split. The Liaodong Dufu governs the Liaodong capital, Guangning capital, and Nuergan capital.

In addition, Daning Dusi was renamed Fengtian Dusi, and under the jurisdiction of Yingzhouwei, Tiancewei, and Duoyanwei, it was changed to Yumajian.

The four guards under Yumajian were merged into Tiance Guard.

From then on, the Fengtian Sanwei, plus the Jinyiwei, became all the direct personal guards in Beijing.The other 21 Shangzhi guards were all transferred to Nanjing, and merged with the 24 Shangzhi guards in Nanjing to form [-] Shangzhi guards. "

As soon as these words came out, Chen Xun and the others finally couldn't sit still.

Although everyone here is Zhu Qiyu's own people, the civil servants are born to resist the emperor's command of soldiers.

Especially those who have experienced the Yongle Dynasty are even more reluctant to see another 'Emperor Wu' from Ming Dynasty.

The four guards of the Royal Horse Supervisor under the direct control of the emperor have at least a few thousand people and a maximum of 5 people. This is the real emperor's pro-army.

Now that Zhu Qiyu has made such a change, through the Yumajian and Fengtian Dusi, he controls the three guards of the pro-army, a total of nearly 10 people, which is two or three times more than when the Ming emperor only controlled the four guards of the Yumajian.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Zhu Qiyu continued: "I plan to build a new Shenshu battalion, which is specially used to target nomadic cavalry. By improving the chariot and artillery, the chariot and artillery can be combined to facilitate rapid maneuvering.

Then combine cavalry, light and heavy infantry, firearms, and chariots together to create a fast-moving, abundant firepower, heroic, and invincible elite soldier.

In the future, the combat army in the Gyeonggi area will consist of three battalions and three guards.

Xiaoqi Camp, Shenji Camp, and Shenshu Camp, a total of 10 people, were supported by the imperial court.

Yingzhouwei, Tiancewei, and Duoyanwei have a total of about 10 people, and they are supported by internal funds.

Compared with the original burden of hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp, the imperial court has greatly reduced the expenses.What do you love dears think? "

Everyone exchanged opinions again, and then Chen Xun replied: "Your Majesty, the income from gold flowers and silver has been transferred to the Ministry of Households, and the internal funds will supply another hundred thousand troops. Is it enough?"

Zhu Qiyu knew what everyone meant, but still patiently explained: "There is no other place to spend money in the internal money, and I have saved everything that can be saved.

No palaces, imperial tombs, or temples will be built, so it won't cost much.In my daily life, I can't spend my internal money.

Or do you think I shouldn't have the emperor's army? "

Everyone heard the words, and just about to explain, Zhu Qiyu immediately said: "I can reduce the Jinyiwei in Beijing to 3 people.

He also promised that Jin Yiwei would only be responsible for scouting the enemy and interrogating key criminals.They were no longer in charge of defending the emperor, nor would they spy on civil servants.

During my administration, drastic actions will not be taken.

This is my bottom line, if you still don't accept it, then we will not be able to survive between the monarch and his ministers. "

The crowd exchanged eye contact again, and then Chen Xun came forward and replied: "What did your Majesty say? In the whole world, is it the land of the king; on the shore of the land, are the ministers of the king.

Your Majesty is willing to use internal funds to support one hundred thousand troops and reduce the burden on the court. This is Shengde, how can the ministers object? "

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction after hearing the words.

The reason why Chen Xun and others did not object is that the emperor is in charge of the three guards, a total of 10 people, which is already a fait accompli.Now it's just formally established with the system. If the officials relentlessly oppose it, not only will it be useless, but it will also make them lose their future, and even be forced to go home to pick up their children. Why bother?
