In the south of Beijing, in the Nanhaizi Garden, which is surrounded by a 120-mile-long wall and covers an area of more than 300,000 acres, there is a military camp surrounded by high red walls. In the morning, after Tu Wenfu, who had gone to the Forbidden City to meet the Holy Spirit, returned to the Nanhaizi camp with a group of eunuchs from the Royal Horse Supervisory System, the camp, which was already filled with panic, turned into a noisy duck hall. It was a mess. The 20,000 or so disarmed eunuch soldiers who were the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty all found themselves on the verge of unemployment and starvation. Where can they stay safely in the barracks? They all gathered on the campus and clamored for Governor Nanhaizi's Dajutu Wenfu to show up quickly and give everyone an explanation!
Although these Nanhaizi eunuch soldiers once belonged to Wei Zhongxian, and they took turns going to the Forbidden City to participate in "internal exercises", they actually served as guards for Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family. But they are not Wei Zhongxian's eunuchs, but the Ming Dynasty's eunuchs!
They obeyed Wei Zhongxian because Wei Zhongxian held the official position of "Governor Nanhaizi"... This official position was not awarded by Wei Zhongxian himself, but by the late emperor who placed it in the Shouhuang Palace.
The late emperor appointed Wei Zhongxian as the governor of Nanhaizi. Of course, these eunuchs who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty had to listen to Wei Zhongxian. If the late emperor did not appoint Wei Zhongxian as governor of Nanhaizi, could they follow Wei Zhongxian?
And they didn't follow Wei Zhongxian to do anything harmful to the world!
They have no qualifications at all. They are just Nanhai Zijingjun. They are at the lowest level in the eunuch system of the Ming Dynasty. They have no power and power, and they are also the hardest-working ones. Not only do they have to undergo various military trainings like ordinary soldiers, but they also have to cultivate land in Nanhaizi.
In addition, since Nanhaizi Jingjun and Yumajian were not the same system in the past, Yumajian's Daxi did not rely on Jingjun to support the market. Therefore, it is difficult for eunuchs from the Jing Army to enter the Royal Horse Prison and become professional military eunuchs. As a martial eunuch, if he cannot enter the Royal Horse Prison, of course he will not have a good future.
Therefore, the eunuchs of Nanhaizi are basically the most miserable among the group of eunuchs!
In the past, those eunuchs who committed crimes or were defeated in the struggle would be sent to serve as the Jingjun. In the early years, Wang An, the great king who suppressed Wei Zhongxian, was punished to be the Jingjun of Nanhai after he lost power. Later, in Nanhaizi, he was killed by the former Nanhaizi Admiral Liu Chao.
And this group of eunuchs at the lowest level have little chance to do evil... Very few people do evil for the sake of doing evil. Under normal circumstances, doing evil has benefits. Which one of Wei Zhongxian's vicious lackeys and minions didn't make a lot of money? Who is not sitting on a fortune?
Which of the Wu eunuchs in Nanhaizi is extremely wealthy? Most of them can't even get enough rice per month... If you can get five or six buckets of rice to fill your belly, it's already a blessing from above! It's quite pitiful when you think about it. They all sacrificed their lives and money to get the opportunity to work in the palace.
I thought that one day I would be able to achieve great success, so that my family could live a comfortable life for a few years, and I could be a master for a time... But there were tens of thousands of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, and only a few of them really stood out?
It was only after they entered the palace that they realized that there were so many ways in the eunuch business, and there was such a deceptive place... But being a eunuch in the palace was no better than other jobs, and if you felt it was wrong, you could change jobs! Even if the eunuch changes his job, he will not be able to survive!
Therefore, this group of pure soldiers had no choice but to go on with their guns. They thought that their whole lives would be ruined and they would live in Nanhaizi for the rest of their lives, but in the end, something even worse happened!
They were mistaken by the superiors for being part of Wei Zhongxian's party... They were going to be kicked out of the palace and not be eunuchs anymore!
This is such an injustice!
After receiving the news, the eunuchs of the Jing Army couldn't sit still. They all rushed out of the barracks and gathered on the school grounds. They blocked the outside of the Admiral Eunuch's Yamen, clamoring for an explanation.
They have already been castrated, can you still let the lifeblood grow out? If the lifeblood cannot grow, you have to take care of everyone's food!
Fortunately, Tu Wenfu did not come from Beijing alone, but came with Cao Huachun, who had just been appointed as the imperial eunuch. Cao Huachun had been Zhu Youjian's accompanying eunuch, but he was a confidant of the emperor!
Lord Long Live probably also knew that the forced eunuchs of the Jing Army might cause trouble, so he asked Cao Huachun to take 500 soldiers from the Royal Horse Prison Battalion who had just returned from Shanhaiguan and follow Tu Wenfu to Nanhaizi.
These 500 soldiers of the Imperial Horse Guards were all originally affiliated with the Zhongyong Camp. They went to Shanhaiguan to supervise the army with Liu Yingkun, the former eunuch of the Zhongyong Camp. Liu Yingkun was previously sent by Emperor Tianqi to be the eunuch guarding Liaodong and was stationed in Shanhaiguan.
After Zhu Youjian executed Wei Zhongxian, Liu Yingkun and the soldiers from the Zhongyong Battalion he took to Shanhaiguan were ordered to return to Beijing.
Liu Yingkun was waiting at home, and the soldiers of the Zhongyong Battalion were temporarily under the command of Cao Huachun. Cao Huachun came back a few days earlier than Liu Yingkun. Because he was Zhu Youjian's confidant, he was immediately reused.
"Eunuch Cao, look..." Tu Wenfu had no choice but to ask Cao Huachun for help in a low voice.
Cao Huachun had already heard Zhu Youjian's words and knew the details, so he seemed confident and said to Tu Wenfu: "The people below just want to see us two... What else? We are not big girls... ..Are you still afraid of people looking at you?”
"That's, that's..."
Cao Huachun stood up and walked out of the Yamen with Tu Wenfu.
Outside the Yamen, there was a huge crowd of people...all of them were empty-handed eunuchs from the Pure Army.
Seeing Tu Wenfu and Cao Huachun, the two great men, leading a group of fully armed imperial horse supervisors out of the yamen, all the Jingjun eunuchs who were noisy outside suddenly fell silent and stepped back involuntarily.
After a while, I saw that the heavily armed armored soldiers had no intention of killing anyone. A group of older military officers standing at the gate of the yamen all knelt down and started crying... .It looks so aggrieved!
Tu Wenfu looked back at Cao Huachun, who then sighed softly and raised his hands, "Children, don't cry... Our family also knows your grievances! As for you, it's a mistake to be a eunuch. Okay! Among us eunuchs, Nanhaizi Jingjun is the one who has the most hardship! They are obviously slaves without roots, but they are trained like soldiers in the camp, and they have to farm their own land..."
Those old men from the Pure Army started crying again - they were so wronged! Once you enter Nanhaizi, you will miss your life!
And now I can’t even stay in Nanhaizi anymore... What will happen in the future? Are you going to starve to death?
"Don't cry, don't cry..." Cao Huachun waved his hand, "The dismissal of Nanhaizi has not been finalized yet! Now it is only Queen Yi'an who has mentioned this matter to Lord Long live, and Lord Long live has not finalized it yet Finalized.”
"Grandpa, you have to have a good talk with Long Live Master..."
"You can't kick us out!"
"Yes, we have all purified ourselves...what will we do if we are not even qualified to be eunuchs!"
Cao Huachun also sighed, "Our family knows your suffering... Our family knows it! People in our line of work don't even have a way out! If the family has some wealth, can they be stabbed like that? If they don't even Even the eunuchs are no longer qualified, what should we do?"
"Yep......"
"Grandpa, we are suffering!"
Cao Huachun nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay... Our family knows your suffering... Fortunately, Lord Long Live is soft-hearted. But you can't make trouble with Lord Long Live. You have also seen that our family is leading We came here with 500 soldiers from the Royal Horse Supervisory Camp. If we really make a big fuss, will you be able to reap the rewards?"
A group of old eunuchs from the Jing army glanced at the group of heavily armed emperor's servants, they looked ferocious!
Cao Huachun said again: "How about this? You can push a few people to go with our family to the Forbidden City to beg Long Live the Lord... Our family will also help you talk about it. This Nanhaizi may not let you stay anymore, but There is always a bowl of food for you!”
