Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 352: Even if you have money and people, you may not be able to accomplish it
There is a saying among old Beijingers: Spring necks are short.

Spring comes without warning and leaves without a trace. In the blink of an eye, spring is passing through the capital like a white horse, with great explosive force. Winter jasmine, mountain peach, elm-leaf plum, and pear blossoms.
It seemed as if the capital city was packed with people overnight.

This is the so-called most beautiful April in the world!

It was under such beautiful scenery that five hundred military officers from the misty Jiangnan area entered the Beijing camp quietly and silently like a secret spring breeze.

When Qiu Yue heard that the reinforcements had arrived, he was filled with indescribable joy. Without thinking too much, he took his deputy general Sanhe and rode to the parade ground on horseback.

These military officers stood tall and straight, lined up like a forest, with an air of majesty that came from their looks.

When the five hundred military officers saw Qiu Yue riding towards them, the soldiers on guard saluted and called him "Marquis", and they knew that this man was their superior.

Then, five hundred people bowed and saluted at the same time, saying, "We, the humble servants, pay our respects to the Marquis!"

"No need to be so polite!" Qiu Yue looked at this group of people and couldn't help but say "OK" several times.

When Wu Shixing, Marquis Gongshun, received the news, he also rushed over. He saw that under Qiu Yue's arrangement, five hundred military officers directly replaced the original military officers of the Beijing Camp, and the efficiency of work was instantly improved.

A chill suddenly rose in his heart. With the joining of this group of military officers, no one could stop Qiu Yue from reorganizing the Beijing camp.

Wu Shixing exchanged a few words with Qiu Yue, but failed to get any useful information out of him, so he had to retreat quietly.

After finding Pingjiang Earl Chen Gui, the two could not come to a conclusion, so they simply went to the Chengguo Mansion together.

In the Duke's Mansion, the eldest son Zhu Lin was directing the maids to move things. He was not going to escape, but was preparing to go out for a spring outing with his family.

When he heard that Chen Gui and Wu Shixing came together, he knew that something was wrong with the Beijing camp, so he received the two of them in his study.

"My Lord, this is the situation now."

Wu Shixing told Zhu Lin the whole story: "Now that Qiu Yue has the assistance of these military officers, the situation in the Beijing camp is unstoppable."

Chen Gui frowned and said, "The trouble caused by the old soldiers last time has not been resolved yet. I guess Qiu Yue will not let go of his hands and feet and do things, right?"

"The court has already resolved the issue of the veterans."

Zhu Lin said sternly, "The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ou Zanghua, wrote a letter a few days ago, proposing to reorganize these veterans and set up a construction bureau to manage them, specializing in helping others build gardens."

After hearing this, Wu Shixing asked hesitantly, "What's the difference between this and what we did before?"

Zhu Lin shook his head and explained, "There is a big difference. The Construction Bureau is the Construction Bureau and has nothing to do with the Beijing Army. They charge money for building the garden. The soldiers of the Beijing Army only need to do two things in the future: training and fighting."

"I have always had a question: where did the imperial court get the money to support Qiu Yue to reorganize the Beijing camp?"

Chen Gui stroked his beard and asked, "Recently, nearly 80,000 old, weak, sick and disabled people were laid off, and more than 400,000 silver coins were spent. Can the Ministry of Revenue afford this amount?"

"Because the money used to renovate the Beijing camp this time was all from the imperial treasury, the civil officials did not make much of a move."

Zhu Lin sighed and continued, "It will take several hundred taels of silver to reorganize the Beijing camp."

Chen Gui pondered and said, "Your Majesty has confiscated Liu Jin's house, and he can take out several hundred taels, but isn't Your Majesty expanding the Leopard House?"

"There is no way to know this, but last month, His Majesty handed over the Renshou Palace and Qingning Palace to the Honglu Temple for management." Zhu Lin sighed, missing Liu Jin, the dead eunuch. Although the dead eunuch was arrogant when he was there, let alone him, even his father, Chengguogong Zhu Fu, would argue with him.

But to be honest, as long as money is paid, that dead eunuch will dare to sell any information. He is not like Zhang Yong now, who won't leak any information at all.

"Now these five hundred military officers will fully cooperate with Qiu Yue in his mission. What should we do?" Wu Shixing asked when he saw that the two were getting further and further away.

"Let Zheng Futian stir things up and create some trouble."

Zhu Lin thought for a while, then slowly said, "Lord Wu, go see the Minister of War He Jian. As long as he is willing to cooperate with us, we will help him achieve the goal of Yu Shaobao."

Upon hearing this, Chen Gui frowned slightly and said, "Master, this is too arrogant!"

Achievements in the affairs of Shao Bao?
Yu Qian was promoted to the Minister of War at that time, and directly led all affairs of the Beijing camp. It can be said that he was unique in the entire Ming Dynasty.

"It's okay," Zhu Lin shook his head and said leisurely, "When I was drinking with Qian Ning before, I accidentally heard him say that the chief secretary of Ning Wangfu was in contact with He Jian. When the Ministry of War stops the rectification of the Beijing camp, we will reveal this news to the Censorate. If the court officials contact the princes, he will be in trouble."

"Since the eldest master has a plan, we will wait for good news." Chen Gui and Wu Shixing looked at each other, thought that this operation was feasible, and bowed.

A few days later, Ou Zanghua was still in the Honglu Temple studying how to promote the development of the Renshou Palace and Qingning Palace. An eunuch walked in quickly, bowed and said, "Pass on the emperor's order to summon Ou Keqing to the palace to discuss matters."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ou Zanghua followed the eunuch and walked quickly into the palace.

While on the way, he was thinking about what could have happened that could make Emperor Zhengde, who was having fun in the Leopard Room, return to the palace to deal with it.

After entering the Qianqing Palace, he found that many people had already arrived, including Cabinet Minister Liang Chu, Marquis of Xianning Qiu Yue, Minister of War He Jian, Right Vice Minister of War Wang Zhuo, Earl of Pingjiang Chen Gui, Marquis of Gongshun Wu Shixing, and many others.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant pays respects to you!" Ou Zanghua suppressed the doubts in his heart and saluted.

"Mr. Ou, there's no need to be polite. Everyone is here now, so go ahead and speak!" Emperor Zhengde rubbed his brows, and only when he saw Ou Zanghua come in did he relax a little.

Wang Zhuo stepped forward and saluted, saying, "Your Majesty, at 3:30 this morning, a large-scale fight broke out in the Beijing camp, resulting in the death of 12 military officers and the injury of 84."

"If Pingjiang Bo Chen Gui and Gongshun Hou Wu Shixing had not arrived in time to stop the fight, the number of casualties would have been far greater than this."

Emperor Zhengde sighed softly, turned his gaze to Qiu Yue, and asked, "Qiu Qing, do you know the reason for the fight with the lady?"

Qiu Yue's face was solemn when he heard this. He bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I have investigated thoroughly and found that the dispute was caused by the military officers of the Beijing camp who were dissatisfied with the military officers of Jiangxi taking over their positions. They deliberately provoked the two sides, which led to a quarrel and then a fight. I implore Your Majesty to severely punish the military officers of the Beijing camp who caused the trouble!"

"Lord Qiu is wrong!"

Pingjiang Earl Chen Gui stood up and said, "I cannot agree with what the Marquis said. The military officers of the Beijing camp are dissatisfied for a reason. After the military officers from Jiangxi arrived, Marquis Qiu handed over everything to them without considering the feelings of the military officers of the Beijing camp. This forced the military officers of the Beijing camp to stand up and fight for themselves."

"That's true," Gongshun Marquis Wu Shixing also stood up and bowed, "I have also asked, and many military officers in the Beijing camp believe that Lord Qiu is biased against them, so he deliberately transferred military officers from Jiangxi."

"What nonsense! Your Majesty, please understand that I have never been biased." Qiu Yue glanced at the two of them and said coldly, "I will only use people who are useful."

Liang Chu stood aside, thinking about his own things. If the rectification of the Beijing camp was stopped, could the money saved from the treasury be used elsewhere?

If Your Majesty really completes the reorganization of the Beijing Camp, I am afraid Your Majesty will become even more rebellious!
