Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 491 The garrison ministers have different minds and the Nanjing disarmament kicks off
Yuan Cheng has already eaten the weight and made up his mind, and he insists on large-scale disarmament.

Of course, Yuan Cheng didn't expect to be in place in one go. The bottom line was to at least completely abolish the [-] avant-garde quota of the government army.

Yuan Cheng also couldn't help himself, the avant-garde of the government army was a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in his flesh.Only by completely abolishing the avant-garde of the government army and making a great contribution to the emperor can he save his life and wealth.

The eunuchs inherited from Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and Zhengtong four dynasties, Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, Liu Yongcheng, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Wang Jin, Ruan An, Cao Jixiang.

Wang Zhen and Fan Hong were killed in Tumubao; Jin Ying, Xing'an, Liu Yongcheng, and Cao Jixiang were killed by the emperor; Ruan An took the initiative to beg for a rest and saved his life.

Among so many influential figures in the inner court, only Wang Jin and his family have the last laugh.

So Yuan Cheng thought, I belong to Fan Hong's lineage, and although I have no grudge against the current emperor, but now that the emperor is cleaning up the inner court on a large scale, I can be used or discarded by the emperor.

Whether it is useful or useless, it is all ambiguous.

If you don't make good progress at this time and try your best to get closer to the emperor, you will die easily, and even if you don't die, you will be swept into the garbage dump.

Therefore, Yuan Cheng cherished the task of guarding Nanjing and streamlining the guards assigned by the emperor.The emperor is still willing to assign tasks to you, indicating that he thinks you can still be saved.If you don't even bother to talk to you, then it's all over.

Yuan Cheng did not directly tell Xu Qi that he would abolish the avant-garde guards of the government army, but went through the 38 guards of Shangzhi, and proposed to transfer several guards to Guangxi and Yunnan as a whole to participate in the war to pacify Annan, including the government army avant-garde.

Xu Qi is not stupid either, those who can become ministers of the Ministry of War are all old foxes who are well versed in political tactics.

When the emperor first came to the throne, the officials were not familiar with the emperor's behavior style, so sometimes they could not quite understand the emperor's intentions.

But after two full years of observation and speculation, the important ministers in the court have basically figured out the emperor's way.

Important ministers like Xu Qi have very strong comprehensive abilities, not to mention that the ministers will spend a lot of money to hire talented people to serve as staff, and the ministers will also communicate with each other and exchange ideas.

The emperor's every move, every word and deed has long been broken apart and crushed by a large group of capable people, and they have been analyzed carefully, inside and out.

So even though Yuan Cheng was secretive, Xu Qi still heard it: Yuan Cheng wanted to mobilize the government army's vanguard and other Xuanmiao, orthodox lineage guards.

The avant-garde of the government army, at full strength, has a total of 3 people. Emperor Taizong specially selected young and strong but inexperienced young troops to defend the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji.

Later, in the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties, the imperial court continued to send recruits to supplement them, so the avant-garde of the government army has always maintained a state of 3 people.

In recent years, there have been constant wars everywhere, and the avant-garde of the government army has been consumed, but there are still nearly 2 people.

Today, the emperor is full of fear towards Shang Zhiwei, especially the avant-garde guards of the government army, which makes the emperor feel uncomfortable.So as soon as Wala was defeated and took power, he immediately transferred all Beijing Shangzhiwei to Nanjing.

Xu Qi can understand the emperor, although it is said that the father dies and the son succeeds, the son does not change the father's rule.But the problem is that everything in Xuanmiao was inherited by Emperor Gongrang.

Today, everything in the original Prince Yi's mansion was paid by the court according to Taizu's regulations, so it can't be said that he inherited any property from Xuanmiao.

As for the inheritance of the avant-garde of the government army, it was all in the hands of Emperor Gongrang.Now you ask the avant-garde of the government army to serve the emperor, they will not, and the emperor will not believe it.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never thought of recruiting Shang Zhiwei, because the emperor realized very wisely from the very beginning that it is useless to recruit them, and this group of people is not familiar with them.

The emperor chose to set aside Shangzhiwei and set up a new stove to do it alone. This is the reason why Yuan Cheng and Xu Qi refused to give in to each other.

As a court minister, Xu Qi didn't want to be so decisive; as the chief eunuch of the inner court, Yuan Cheng only wanted to please the emperor.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi began to scold An Guogong Xu Heng in his heart, this is the biggest help on today's road to rise.If Xu Heng hadn't turned to the current emperor, maybe the emperor Gong Rang would have succeeded in the restoration.

In the change of Tumubao, the Sixth Division was wiped out, and Xungui was severely injured.

At that time, there were mainly three nobles and armies left in the Ming Dynasty: the army of Ningyang Hou Chen Mao's expedition to the southeast, the army of Jingyuanbo Wang Jing's expedition to Luchuan, and the Shaanxi frontier army of Xing'an Hou Xu Heng.

Others like the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Shanxi Frontier Army are simply vulnerable.Only the frontier troops in Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and other towns in Shaanxi can be called elite.

As soon as Xu Heng took refuge in his allegiance, the emperor not only defeated Wala, but also completely suppressed the army led by Wang Ji and Chen Mao.The emperor was able to slowly split and weaken the two armies loyal to the emperor.

In the rebellion of the capital a month ago, the [-] capital troops led by Shi Heng, Sun Tong, and Liu Yongcheng were all killed by the emperor, and none were left. This was led by Xu Heng's Xiaoqi battalion composed of Shaanxi frontier troops. good thing.

As a result, it's all right now. Yuan Cheng is determined to engage in Zhiwei's large-scale disarmament, and behind it is the emperor's will.

After thinking hard, Xu Qi tentatively said to Yuan Cheng: "Yuan Gong, you see, the Holy Majesty previously ordered the governors of Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan military affairs to dispatch [-] Nanjing troops to suppress the Miao rebellion.

Otherwise, we should first select [-] troops from Shangzhiwei to suppress the Miao Rebellion.Select [-] elites from the remaining upper straight guards to form six guards and three regiment battalions.

Let's try it on a small scale first, and see the effect in two or three years. If the effect is good, we will carry out large-scale reorganization.At that time, the Miao Rebellion should also be over, and it would be more reasonable to transfer the army that suppressed the Miao Rebellion back to Nanjing for centralized reorganization. "

Yuan Cheng shook his head: "Two or three years? Is Xu Shangshu joking? It must be fully reorganized this year.

Moreover, the army does not need to be transferred to suppress the Miao chaos for the time being, and Yu Shangshu does not need to go to the governor of military affairs.

A while ago, the Holy Majesty had sent the Royal Censor of the Right Capital to Governor Huguang and Guizhou Military Affairs.

The Bozhou Xuanwei Department, which is not stable in Sichuan, has been transferred to Guizhou, and the remaining part is in charge of Sichuan governor Han Yong.

The Holy Majesty has already made arrangements, so Xu Shangshu doesn't have to worry too much. "

Xu Qi sighed heavily, an inexplicable mutiny in Beijing messed up everything.Many feudal kings in the south have been abolished, and the previous military arrangements do not count.

Sanyang was completely liquidated, but the emperor appointed Wang Lai as the governor of Huguang and Guizhou military affairs, and Wang Lai was recommended by Yang Shiqi, and he was highly respected by him.

Recently, the emperor appointed Nianfu governor of Zhejiang and Fujian military affairs, and Nianfu was recommended by Yang Pu.

The emperor's meaning is very clear, the liquidation is only for Sanyang and his family, and has no effect on other officials.

However, there is a rich young governor of Fujian and Zhejiang beside Nanjing, Xu Qi always feels that this is not a good omen.

After a short thought, Xu Qi chose to continue to argue, and quarreled with Yuan Cheng for a long time until the evening, but there was no result.

……

But it is said that in the city of Beijing, in Beiju Xianfang, there is a hoopsiao alley, and there is a small courtyard at the innermost side of the alley.

The owner of the courtyard is named Yang Xun.

Yang Xun is an excellent paint craftsman.His father was appointed by the imperial court to go to Japan to learn the method of lacquer painting, which was passed back to China.

Yang Xun devoted himself to research and improved it, created a five-color gold tin and cast spells. His skills are so outstanding that even the Japanese are ashamed.

Living in the capital is not easy, but with Yang Xun's unique skills, life is also enjoyable.

But, people, we often live our days and don’t want to live them well.

In the evening, Yang Xun returned home with several rolls of paper, frowning tightly.

His wife, Mrs. Li, hurriedly came out to greet her: "Husband, what's the matter, is Shangguan angry with you? It shouldn't be, although your husband has no official position, but with your skills, even Shangguan has to give you some face." ah."

Yang Xun walked into the main hall and slapped the paper in his hand on the table: "Let's see, what kind of newspaper is the new stuff released by the imperial court?"
