In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 285 Reorganization of Factory Guards
After Lin Rui spoke, the civil servants and nobles in the capital lost their worries and went to the funeral wearing mourning clothes.

This made the scale of the funeral on the day finally worthy of an emperor and queen. Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were also buried together in Yiling, and only Wang Chengen and a dozen eunuchs guarded the tomb.

It was called Yi Ling because the Ministry of Rites originally chose Huaizong and Sizong for Chongzhen, but Zhang Yan was not satisfied with these two temple names. In the end, the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to change it to Yizong.

Lin Rui didn't care about this. Compared with Huaizong and Sizong, Yizong and Emperor Chongzhen were indeed more relevant.

After all, looking at the ancient and modern emperors, Chongzhen's perseverance is definitely one of the best. Let's not talk about the hard work of women. It is just 17 years of internal and external troubles, natural disasters, and the situation is getting worse year by year. If other emperors change, their mentality will probably be too early. If it collapses, it will probably have to move the capital directly and run away to Jiangnan to be happy.

After Emperor Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were buried, Lin Rui mobilized [-] troops into the city to take over the city's defense and maintain order, and another [-] infantrymen to take over the imperial city.

As for the Ming soldiers in the city and the guards of the imperial city, including the Jing army, they were all driven out of the city and temporarily stationed in the camp outside the north city.

It was only then that Lin Rui displayed the banner of King Hua and entered the city with great swagger. Almost all the civil and military officials and scholars came to kneel outside the city to welcome him.

Zhang Yan, the three princes and Princess Kunxing Lin Rui did not force them to come to welcome them. Instead, they placed them in a three-entry house on the edge of the imperial city. All the tablets and portraits in the Ancestral Temple were also moved there, and the five people There were only more than 20 eunuchs and two palace ladies left around.

Originally, if Zhang Yan, the three princes and the princess came to greet him, Lin Rui would have conferred the title as usual. But now that they didn't come, there was no need for him to confer the title.

At this time, in the small courtyard on the west side of the imperial city, listening to the bells and bustling noises outside, Prince Zhu Cixiang, the two emperors and Princess Kunxing looked at Zhang Yan nervously.

"Empress Huang, wouldn't it be bad if we didn't show up?"

"Yes, that thief. Although King Hua said he won't force us, if we really don't go to welcome him, he will definitely hold a grudge in his heart. I'm afraid..."

"They didn't arrange for us to go, not to mention it's too late now. From now on, don't call me the emperor's uncle, just call me uncle!"

Looking at her nephews and nieces who looked uneasy, Zhang Yan was also a little confused. In fact, she originally planned to compromise and go to the palace so that the prince and the princess could grow up and spend the rest of their lives safely and leave a trace of blood to the direct line of the Zhu family. Greeted at the door.

But King Na Hua seemed to have forgotten them. He just left them here and ignored them. The Ministry of Rites made no arrangements. The huge courtyard was only guarded at the entrance and outside the wall.

"Auntie, what do you think King Hua will do with us in the future? Will he just lock us here for the rest of our lives?"

The 12-year-old Princess Kunxing turned pale when she thought about being locked in a cage like a bird from now on.

"It would be great if I could live here safely all the time. I'm worried that King Hua will do one thing openly and behind the other's back, and in a few years he will secretly..."

The prince Zhu Cixiang is older, and he can't help but worry when he thinks about the fate of the princes and princes who lost their countries in history.

"Okay, don't think too much. Just make peace with it now that it's here. No matter what, King Hua won't embarrass you for the time being."

Although Zhang Yan was worried that Lin Rui would secretly poison Xun'er and the other three in the future to avoid future troubles, but people are like swordsmen and I can only comfort them.

The reason why she did not choose to die for the country together was because she could not worry about the three princes and princesses. After all, the eldest Zhu Cixiang was still underage.

In the next few days, memorials from various states and counties in the capital came to the capital like snowflakes. Zu Dashou of Shanhaiguan also immediately submitted a letter of submission.

Lin Rui has not made any big moves for the time being. He just lets the six cabinet ministries perform their respective duties, and everything remains the same in various places. Instead, he first focuses on reorganizing the imperial city and palace city, and even captures the surrendered Ming army. No time to organize.

After some statistical investigation, Lin Rui only left more than 300 young and innocent palace maids to serve in the harem. The rest of the palace maids and eunuchs were all driven to the imperial city. Without his order, no palace maids or eunuchs are allowed to enter or leave in the future. Harem.

Lin Rui planned to carry out a large-scale rectification of the redundant palace maids and eunuchs after all departments in Datong moved here.However, the rectification and reconstruction work of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is urgent, but the names must not continue to be Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

Due to the peaceful reception, the files of Dongchang and Jinyiwei were also completely preserved. After carefully browsing the files for a few days, Lin Rui also had a general understanding of Jinyiwei and Dongchang in the Ming Dynasty, plus his previous life. After understanding the situation, it was decided to change Jinyiwei into the Intelligence Bureau, and Dongchang into the Supervision Bureau.

Both departments are affiliated with the inner court, one is responsible for collecting intelligence, and the other is responsible for supervising and interrogating officials.

"Luo Yangxing, from now on Jinyiwei will be renamed Dahua Royal Intelligence Bureau, and you will still serve as the director, Liu Yingxi, Qi Guochang, and you two will serve as deputy directors respectively. This is my future request and restructuring plan for the intelligence bureau, limited to the three of you. The restructuring of the headquarters will be completed within a month, and a new framework will be built throughout the north within a year and will be operating normally."

China lacks relevant talents, and Lin Rui has to use the old team of the Ming Dynasty to reorganize the intelligence bureau for the time being.

After all, the Ming Dynasty's Jinyiwei system was already very large and complete, with more than [-] formal and non-staff personnel combined. It was a pity that a large number of non-staff personnel were dismissed by Chongzhen.

These non-staff personnel have no salary and only have the hereditary official status of a Jin Yiwei. They can be found in all walks of life and in the homes of the upper class in the Ming Dynasty. They are basically servants. They are no different from ordinary people at ordinary times. Some of them are passed down from father to son and are lurking. It hasn't been enabled for generations.

It can be said that the real core of Jinyiwei is these non-staff personnel who are spread all over the Ming Dynasty, not those fans who wear Feiyu uniforms and show off their power all day long.

Because of those non-staff personnel, almost nothing in the entire Ming Dynasty could really be hidden from the emperor.

This was the cumulative result of the development of successive Jinyiwei commanders over more than 200 years, but it was destroyed by Chongzhen.

What Lin Rui has to do is to let the Intelligence Bureau find those non-staff personnel according to the list on the file and develop them into spies of the Chinese Intelligence Agency.

Although it is troublesome, it is ultimately more time-consuming and labor-intensive than building a large and complete intelligence network all over again.

After all, to those lurking non-staff personnel, there is no difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Hua Kingdom. The Jin Yiwei and the Intelligence Bureau just changed their names. What they really care about is a new waist card, an official inheritance that may never see the light of day. .

"Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the tasks assigned by Your Majesty. General Jin... will reorganize and reorganize the Intelligence Bureau as soon as possible."

The three of them were so excited when they received the book that they knelt down and kowtowed to show their loyalty without even looking at it.

Obviously, he did not expect that His Majesty would allow them to still be in charge of the Imperial Guard.

"I'm not Chongzhen. It's not too late for you to read the content in the booklet before answering. Okay, please step back!"

After Lin Rui finished speaking, he waved his hand. These three people were just temporary workers. After they reorganized the Jinyiwei headquarters, they would definitely replace the entire Jinyiwei senior management.

After the three left, Lin Rui recruited Wang Huade and two other old eunuchs who were not favored, and asked them to be responsible for establishing the East Factory, also known as the Supervision Bureau.

Compared with Jin Yiwei, who was only killed by Chongzhen and the main structure was still intact, Dongchang was in a miserable state. It was simply uprooted and only a lot of files are left.

In fact, Chongzhen planned to rebuild Dongchang last year. Unfortunately, the imperial edict to establish Dongchang was ruthlessly rejected by the cabinet, so he gave up.

Although Chongzhen could directly establish it, the civil servants would not recognize the legitimacy of the East Factory, and it would be meaningless to establish such a East Factory.

After all, Chongzhen issued an edict to abolish all power in Dongchang. Now if he wants to restore it, he must issue a new edict to the world.
