Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 95
It was very quiet in Dongnuan Pavilion. Zhang Weixian, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chuanting stood quietly in place, especially Zhang Weixian's heartbeat was beating very fast.

The reorganization of the Beijing camp is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface, especially the initial reorganization. If the degenerate generals had not been arrested, the so-called elimination of troops and the so-called fixed establishment would be nothing more than empty talk, which would eventually turn into a big scandal. Small.

On the contrary, if we really want to arrest those generals, a slight mistake will cause a mutiny, which will then threaten the stability of the capital. Once we cannot control the situation, it will not only cause harm to the local area, but also damage the dignity of the emperor!
"Let me tell you, when the imperial grandfather faced the critical Liao affairs, why did he prefer to dispatch guest troops from various towns and places to aid the Liao instead of dispatching the capital camp to march to the Liao."

In such a tense atmosphere, Zhu Youxiao held up the memorial in his hand and looked at Zhang Weixian and the others with a smile, "It turns out that the capital camp has been rotten for a long time. To say that they are a rabble with no purpose is to flatter them." , as a military general of the Ming Dynasty, especially serving in the Beijing camp, I did not expect that their hearts would be so dark.

Drinking soldiers' blood and empty wages, stealing ordnance and firearms, occupying acres of land, and even forcing good girls into prostitution, and secretly making loan sharks, this is really a good capital camp of the Ming Dynasty, and a good capital camp of mine. What if foreigners invade the capital? Don't do anything else, just open the gates of the Four Nine Cities and welcome the new emperor to the throne! "

"The minister is guilty."

Zhang Weixian's heart beat faster and he knelt down on the ground. Xin Jun was not angry, but said this with a smile. This was different from what Zhang Weixian had originally thought.

In the past few days, Zhang Weixian has been hesitating whether to submit this memorial. The rectification of the Beijing camp is inherently difficult, especially because there are many secret constraints.

Don't look at that time at the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army, where he hosted a banquet for many nobles who were serving in the Beijing camp. Xiaozhi moved people with reason and affection, and got their support on the surface. However, there were many constraints behind the scenes, and there were even more secret confrontations. Not to mention that there are civilian officials watching over him. In terms of pressure, Zhang Weixian is under tremendous pressure.

"What is the crime of the British public?"

Zhu Youxiao took the memorial, stood up and walked towards Zhang Weixian, bending down to help Zhang Weixian, "It is true that the Qing family is the admiral of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, but are the problems of the Beijing camp formed now? The problems of the Beijing camp are countless. In ten years, or even longer, it won’t be as complicated as it is now.”

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Weixian, who was being supported, had slightly red eyes at this moment. Although he was aware of the problems in the capital camp before, he was not in charge of his position. It was only after he became the admiral of the military affairs in the capital camp that he realized the seriousness of the problem, like this. The Beijing camp simply cannot shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the capital!

"Both Qing family members, please also read this memorial."

When Zhang Weixian was feeling emotional, Zhu Youxiao handed the memorial in front of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting. The two showed some hesitation, but Hong Chengchou still stepped forward to take it.

"Mr. British, what do you think?"

When the two of them got together and read the memorial, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhang Weixian and said: "I see that the memorial you wrote involves all the commanders of the army, from the commander-in-chief to the commander-in-chief. , there are many people involved in corruption, but you are not involved in any of them, except those nobles and civil servants. Are these people all clean?"

"The minister is guilty."

Zhang Weixian hurriedly lowered his head and said: "The matter of the rectification of the Beijing camp, according to my humble opinion, it will not last for a while, or even longer, there is no way to change the atmosphere.

At present, for the Beijing camp, if they want to carry out rectification continuously, they must carry out rectification in batches. For matters involving nobles and civil servants, it is necessary to have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, rashly arresting civil servants will definitely cause a disturbance in the court. , this is far more serious than arresting a group of generals, even..."

After all, he has seen it thoroughly.

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling emotional in his heart. Zhang Weixian's analysis was right. The current Beijing camp is like a mess. There is me in you, and you in me. It is impossible to tell them apart if they are pulled apart. , then the capital camp will be in complete chaos, and even the only available generals or soldiers will be dragged in.

Under the general trend, everyone has a herd mentality. In order to rectify the imperial camp, the emperor wants to kill many people, so who is willing to be killed without mercy?

Is it bad to live?
Since the emperor doesn't give him a way to survive, he will simply make the matter worse. What if there is still a chance of survival?

"Your Majesty, I think what the British Lord said is very good."

Hong Chengchou suppressed his surprise, raised his hands and said to the emperor: "In the current situation, the situation between the government and the opposition is not yet stable. If too much is involved, it will inevitably lead to a mutiny in the capital. Once this situation is formed, the consequences will be unimaginable. The top priority right now is to temporarily stabilize the court, and as for these generals suspected of corruption, we can arrest them in batches to ensure that the impact is minimized."

"I don't want to wait for a moment!" Zhu Youxiao said with firm eyes: "Look at how critical the Liao Bureau is now. The Royal Horse Inspector rushed to Shuntian Prefecture and Yongping Prefecture to recruit new soldiers, and those who fled from Liaodong took refuge in the pass. There are hundreds of thousands of Liao citizens. Today will delay tomorrow, and tomorrow will delay the day after tomorrow. When will the order of the capital camp be completed? If during this period, rampant rebels invade Liao again, if Xiong Tingbi cannot deter all forces in Liao. , the Jianlu were ordered to attack Liaozuo, how should the court deal with it then?"

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask the British Duke."

But at this moment, Sun Chuanting bowed his hands.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Sun Chuanting, then at Zhang Weixian, and said, "Ask."

"Mr. British, I would like to ask you a question."

Sun Chuanting bowed again, then got up and looked at Zhang Weixian, "As far as the current Beijing camp is concerned, is the arrears of food and wages serious? Those low-level soldiers, do they resent the court? Or something else?"

"The arrears in food and salary arrears are serious."

Zhang Weixian frowned and said: "The memorial submitted by me is very clear. The soldiers at the bottom of the Beijing camp may have resentments, but it is definitely not the imperial court that is resentful."

"That's fine."

Sun Chuanting said with a smile: "If the internal funds can be used to transfer a batch of military pay and actually distribute it to the soldiers in the capital camp, the soldiers everywhere will be grateful to His Majesty and the imperial court.

At that time, the British Duke, in the name of admiral of the military affairs of the Beijing camp, will send the generals of the guerrillas and above from the Beijing camp to the Chinese Army Governor's Office, and all those involved in corruption can be captured together.

As long as this arrest against the Beijing camp does not expand the scope, and after arresting these generals, they can go to various places to comfort them in a timely manner, then what the British public is worried about will not happen. "

Ok?
Zhang Weixian frowned slightly. This was quite different from what he thought. However, if he tasted it carefully, he found that it was really the case. The only difficulty was to transfer money from internal funds.

If we really want to go by what Sun Chuanting said and want to clear the arrears of soldiers' pay from the Beijing camp, it will not be possible to solve the problem without more than 200 million taels, or even more.

"Your Majesty, I feel that before the military pay is actually paid, it should be cleared for three months."

While Zhang Weixian was deep in thought, Hong Chengchou thought for a while, bowed and saluted and said: "In this way, we only need to allocate more than 100 million taels of internal funds. At the same time, when this batch of military pay is actually paid, we can clearly tell everyone in the Beijing camp As long as the officers and soldiers are willing to obey His Majesty's will and obey the orders, the remaining military pay owed will be paid out from the internal funds even if the commander does not pay it when the time comes.

In this way, when those generals are arrested, the probability of mutiny in the Beijing camp will drop sharply. At that time, His Majesty can order reliable people to search the homes of those generals. However, during this period, we must be vigilant against possible mutiny. and the troops in the Xishan Camp should remain vigilant and go to various places to suppress them if necessary. "

Zhu Youxiao showed an expression of approval. When it comes to strategies and thoughts, who can outsmart the civil servants?

In the eyes of Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou, it is true that the generals are hateful, but as long as they can find the right entry point, they can isolate the small part and win over the majority. Maybe some capital will be invested in the early stage to focus on the core of the Beijing camp. , is moving forward slowly.

"Then use the internal funds."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, looked at Zhang Weixian and the others and said, "I will leave it to the Xunwei to be responsible for the repayment of soldiers' pay to the Beijing camp, and also to the Xunwei to arrest those generals. Sir, I will temporarily give it up." Hong Qing and Sun Qing will assist you. After this matter is over, the two Qing families will return to the Zhili Qing Li Department. I have only one request: there must be no mutiny in the capital, and there must be no chaos in the capital and the capital!"

"The ministers obey the order."

Zhang Weixian, Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting immediately bowed in response.

Abilities need to be cultivated and experienced. People like Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, Zhu Youxiao will definitely be used in the future. More experience in some things will only benefit them and not harm them. As for the collapsed Ming Dynasty, from now on There are too many things to do, and it’s definitely not possible to gather them all in the center of the court!
