The first is to rectify the inner court; the second is to rectify the imperial guards... Do we still need to rectify the civil servants and military ministers of the outer dynasties, the governors and warlords on the border, and the Beijing camp that can eat but not fight?
Several cabinet ministers and Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, didn't believe their ears!
After this new young emperor came to power, within a year or two, did he really only care about the pro-army and eunuchs, but not the civil servants, military generals, and border ministers? In fact, there were many treacherous and sycophants among the civil officials, military generals, and border ministers of the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty," Grand Scholar Li Guo said, "there are many people in the outer dynasty who are attached to Wei Ni and do many evil things. We must keep an eye on them!"
Veteran minister Zhang Weixian also reported: "Your Majesty, among the military officials, there are also lackeys of Wei Ni! Moreover, now the Eastern captives are becoming more and more arrogant, there are also rebels in the southwest, the Tartars in the northern frontier are also ready to make trouble, and there are also red-haired tribesmen in the southeast sea who are causing trouble. ...Every aspect requires His Majesty’s hard work and hard work!”
Zhu Youjian sighed: "I have ascended the throne at a young age, and I have grown up in the royal palace. I know nothing about the affairs of the country, so how dare I say anything and work hard to govern? As for whether the ministers of the outer court are loyal or treacherous, how can I tell?" You can know everything just by reading the memorials of Yushi Kedao? If loyalties and traitors are so easy to distinguish, what's the point of having guards and cavalry?
I first organized the inner court and the Jinyi army in order to clearly detect the loyalties and traitors inside and outside. Of course, loyal people can be used to great effect, and traitors should of course be severely punished.
But before the reorganization of the inner court and pro-military forces is completed... I dare not, nor can I rashly encourage myself, lest I go in the wrong direction and do twice as much work but in vain.
So what I mean is that within two years, the outer court will demand stability! "
The lessons learned in the previous life were too profound! Before things were settled at home, they hurriedly eliminated the treacherous ministers from other dynasties. They also hired a bunch of gentlemen who only knew how to sing high-profile songs, and also hired a braggadocio named Yuan Chonghuan, and even went to fight with Lin Danhan when he was full. G!
As a result, within two years Huang Taiji was ordered to rush into the Great Wall and burn, kill and loot outside Beijing!
And in order to drive Huang Taiji away, the Qinwang from all over the world was required. As a result, King Qin's soldiers did not dare to fight the Tatars, so they rebelled themselves... It was at that time that Li Zicheng turned from an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty into a rebel!
So if those gentlemen really get things done... they are not as reliable as the eunuchs who rely on Wei Zhongxian! My own random cheering up is not as stable as my brother's carpentry.
"But most of Wei Ni's minions, including five tigers, five young men, ten children, and forty grandchildren, are still in the court. How can this be done?" Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, said, "Your Majesty is not afraid of them colluding with each other to cause chaos and avenge Wei Ni. ?”
Raising troops for revenge?
Zhu You thought to himself: If these people really want to do this, are they still traitors? Then he would no longer be a righteous man seeking revenge for the Lord!
"Your Majesty," Huang Liji, the first assistant academician, also said, "the five tigers, five cubs, ten children, and forty grandchildren are recognized as the minions of Wei Ni! If they are still in office, all upright people in the world will be disappointed!"
Shi Fenglai, one of the four cabinet ministers left by Emperor Tianqi to his younger brother, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
Another great scholar, Zhang Ruitu, also said: "Your Majesty, these 60 people are really Wei Ni's buddies and should not be spared lightly!"
Of course it was impossible for Zhu Youjian to let go of the five tigers, five cubs, ten children and forty grandchildren... How could he let him go? These are 60 fat sheep! And expect them to pay for indulgences! One person should get at least a dozen or two hundred thousand taels of silver, and 60 people would get 10 million taels... The cash may not be that much, but after counting the land, houses, and debts, it will definitely be more than this amount.
But Zhu Youjian couldn't send all these people to Jinyiwei's prison... Jinyiwei's gang was not good at doing business, and they were better at blackmailing and eating fat sheep than anyone else. 60 fat sheep arrived in the imperial prison, and Zhu Youjian couldn't even catch the wool!
Therefore, Zhu Youjian wanted to eliminate the middleman Jinyiwei and deal directly with the fat sheep. Therefore, he could not bear to catch the fat sheep of the outer dynasty, but first rectified the Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
Of course, Zhu Youjian couldn't let the fat sheep escape... The door of the home of the five tigers, five cubs, ten children and forty grandchildren had already been guarded by soldiers from the third battalion of the Imperial Horse Guards.
They are just guards, and cannot go in to arrest people and steal things - because Zhu Youjian has not yet issued an order to remove those people from their official positions, but just let them think about their mistakes behind closed doors!
No matter how fierce the soldiers of the Third Battalion of Yumajian are, they are just soldiers. At most, they are just small officers with sesame seeds and mung beans. They dare not challenge the majesty of the officials.
Now hearing that the four cabinet ministers unanimously wanted to operate on 60 fat sheep, Zhu Youjian also knew that the time was ripe to arrest people, but they could not arrest Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
"These 60 thieves should indeed be arrested," Zhu Youjian thought, "but the factory guards themselves have to rectify it, so how can they detain so many traitors? What if the remnants of Wei Ni among the factory guards let these thieves go? , so what should we do?”
Let go? How can it be?
Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing thought to themselves: How could they let them go if they didn't have a millionaire?
"Long live my lord," Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of the East Factory and the superintendent of the ceremony, Bingbi, suggested at this time, "there are Qionghua Island and Nandao (Yingtai) in the Taiye Pool in Xiyuan, which can be used to imprison this **** Ni, just wait until Beizhen Fusi and Dongchang are reorganized, and then transfer them to the factory guards."
Zhu Youjian nodded and asked Luo Yangxing, "Captain Zuo, what do you think?"
"I think this method is good," Luo Yangxing replied, "Give me a month, and I will definitely put the Beizhen Fusi in order first."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Okay, just one month!"
A month later...except for the dead ones, all 60 fat sheep had reformed and bought indulgences!
Zhu Youjian thought for a moment and then said: "Cui Chengxiu among the Five Tigers is the Minister of War, and Wu Chunfu is the Minister of Industry. They are both important positions! Especially for the post of Minister of War, you must choose the right person!"
Huang Liji, the chief assistant, immediately suggested: "The governor of Jiliao, Yan Mingtai, knows the military, and he may be able to temporarily take charge of the military department on Cui Chengxiu's behalf."
"What about the Jiliao front line? Yan Mingtai should stay in office!" Zhu Youjian actually had a favorite candidate for a long time. "I thought that King Nandu, the Minister of War, could come to be the Minister of War in Jin."
When Zhu Youjia mentioned that Wang Zaijin was in charge of the military department, the ministers present couldn't help but frown... Wang Zaijin is not a good person! Among all the Liaodong managers, Xiong Tingbi was the most "evil", defying heaven and earth and defying the emperor! The first time he presided over Liaodong, he defeated Emperor Wanli. When he took charge of Liaodong for the second time, he had a fierce fight with Wang Huazhen, which finally made Emperor Tianqi hate him and moved his head.
And this Wang Zaijin was the second "evil" person. When he was in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong in place of Xiong Tingbi, he counted the soldiers and horses at Shanhaiguan, and he counted more than 100,000 people into more than 50,000... How many people were offended? !
Later, he advocated "setting up dangerous passes to protect the mountains and seas, and to defend the capital". In fact, he wanted to abandon western Liaoning and defend Shanhaiguan. Only more than 50,000 Liaodong armies were "spotted" by him. You can tell by looking at the accounts. We can’t counterattack! The Jin army outnumbered the Liao army. Can the Liao army still attack?
Therefore, Wang Zaijin did not last long in the position of Liaodong's manager before he was ousted and replaced by Sun Chengzong, a "good man". The Liao soldiers were "expanded" to hundreds of thousands, and castles were built one after another... What a wonderful person!
But now that Zhu Youjian actually wants Wang to be in the main military headquarters of Jin, then the Ming army's strategy in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning will undoubtedly become conservative in an all-round way.
"As for the Ministry of Works," Zhu Youjian added, "I heard that there is a very capable Xu Guangqi who knows many strange Western skills. He can be put in charge of the Ministry of Works.
In addition, Yuan Keli did a good job when he was in charge of Denglai. Can he be allowed to serve as governor of Denglai again and take charge of military affairs in Dongjiang and Liaonan? "
When everyone heard that Zhu Youjian wanted to invite Yuan Keli, who had already served as an official, to come out again, they all understood in their hearts that he wanted to retreat in western Liaoning, while maintaining Lushun and Jinzhou in southern Liaoning, and maintaining containment at the junction of North Korea and Jianzhou. Strength.
This is going to last forever with Donglu!
Zhu Youjian said to Luo Yangxing again: "There is another Yang Hao who has been in prison for many years. He will be taken to Wenhua Hall tomorrow. I have something to ask him!"
