"Inverted?"
"Why, my emperor's personal army, the Six Guards, are vegetarians. How dare he, Duke Ji, rebel?"
Zhu Yijun did not panic, but took the time to ask Wang Chaofu.
Wang Chaofu then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, maybe Hu Shouren from Jizhou has led his army south and will attack the imperial city together with his old troops in Beijing!"
"How dare he, Hu Shouren, do this?"
"Isn't he afraid that I will transfer Li Chengliang, Ma Jin and other diligent kings?"
Zhu Yijun stood up as he spoke and said, "Don't panic. Besides, not all of the Beijing camp is his old troops. You, the chief military officer of the fifth military camp, are responsible for the largest number of troops in the Beijing camp for me."
"My lord, my lord."
Wang Chaofu did not dare to tell the truth that the fifth military camp under his control was no longer worthy of its name. He only stammered a few words and said: "I think what your Majesty said is that I was too panicked, but I did see soldiers and horses appearing in the courtyard of the official residence. , massacres of soldiers and civilians."
"Then call Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yong, Xu Rucheng, Liu Wei, Zhang Yuanxun and others, and I will ask about this matter."
Zhu Yijun therefore ordered.
Not long after, Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yong, Xu Rucheng and others came to the imperial court.
Zhu Yijun then asked: "What did Uncle Yongping say about the military affairs in the courtyard of the official residence?"
At this time, Xu Rucheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, I heard that there was a mutiny and trouble among the soldiers in the palace compound, so I took advantage of it and transferred the Shenji Battalion to suppress it. Now I am about to report this to Your Majesty."
"Why mutiny?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Xu Rucheng said: "Of course it was caused by the reorganization of the Beijing camp. Some arrogant soldiers did not want to be verified and drilled, so they caused trouble."
"It should be suppressed!"
Zhu Yijun said something immediately, and then said to Xu Rucheng: "You should be so decisive. You can't just think that if you make a fuss about everything, the court will give in and you will be afraid of them!"
Xu Rucheng raised his hand and said yes.
Zhu Yijun then looked at Uncle Yongping: "You didn't know to ask your boss first, and then you told me in such a hurry that Qi Aiqing was going to change?"
The assistant of Yongping Bo Dynasty kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, forgive me, but I was also in a moment of anxiety and forgot my sense of propriety."
"I'm not careful in my actions. After I cooperate with Yousi to complete the rectification of the capital camp, I will resign on my own!"
After Zhu Yijun gave the order, he said: "Everyone, please step back."
So everyone retreated.
"The British Duke, the Marquis of Nanchang, are you going to sit back and watch the Duke of Ji push the soldiers from home to a dead end like this?"
After this incident passed, Wang Chaofu, Dai Liangdong and others were still unwilling to give in. On this day, they specifically asked the British Duke Zhang Yuangong, who was in charge of the left army's governor's office, and Liu Jinlai, who was stationed in the imperial city and was the chief soldier of Jinwu Guard, the emperor's personal army.
The British Duke Zhang Yuangong said: "The Duke of Ji is a military minister. When the military ministers rectify the capital camp, we should cooperate! If civil servants cannot rectify the situation, we will cause trouble even if the military officials rectify it. We will also cause trouble. Doesn't that make the emperor feel that no one can control us?"
Liu Wei, who had been promoted to Marquis for his meritorious service, also said, "Yes, Ji Guogong is a veteran commander. I can't say anything about what he wants to do."
"Do you also want us to truthfully report the matter of using camp soldiers to plow the land for you, accepting soldiers from the camp as slaves, and even letting domestic slaves pretend to receive military pay?"
Dai Liangdong replied.
Snapped!
Liu Wei suddenly slammed the table, stood up and said: "If you want to retaliate, you can retaliate. There is no need for you to sell favors! Isn't it just that I can no longer command the soldiers and can no longer eat empty pay? What else? Do you have to be disloyal because of this? Is it in court?"
"As the Marquis of Nanchang said, in the past the court did not take care of it, so it made these mistakes. Now that the court wants to take care of it, we can only let it be dealt with, and we cannot really imitate those arrogant soldiers and cause trouble in front of the imperial court! "
Zhang Yuangong said.
"Fine!"
Wang Chaofu replied helplessly, and then returned to the capital camp with Dai Liangdong.
Because the British Duke Zhang Yuangong, Nanchang Hou Liu Wei, Xing'an Bo Xu Rucheng and other nobles all accepted and even cooperated with the rectification of the Beijing camp, other nobles
Men had no choice but to cooperate and accept.
Therefore, next, Wang Chaofu, Dai Liangdong and others truthfully reported the actual situation of the soldiers in the hometown camp of the Beijing camp, and the Qing officers verified it.
Then, the young and strong sergeants captured by the dignitaries were also returned to the Beijing camp.
The sergeants who voluntarily surrendered themselves as slaves to the powerful families were left to their own free will, and were either relieved of their military status and no longer paid, or returned to the capital camp.
As for the wealthy sergeants who had gone out to find their own way outside by bribing the generals in the Beijing camp, they were all dismissed from the military and no longer received pay.
All the sergeants who did not appear on the register were cancelled.
The soldiers who have been staying in the Beijing Camp will either be released from the military and sent home according to their own volition, or they will stay in the Beijing Camp and, based on the results of the training, are ready to accept the court's arrangements, either to build roads in Daning or to garrison in Daning.
The sergeant who was released by the dignitaries was naturally very happy, and fortunate to be free from being enslaved anymore.
The soldiers in the camp, who could receive military pay while surrendering the powerful as slaves and bullying others, were very sad.
But they were heartbroken and did not dare to cause trouble again. After all, the bloody lesson happened not long ago, and they did not dare to challenge the determination of the court again.
However, in the rectification of the Beijing camp, the most severely affected were the powerful and powerful families.
Especially the powerful people in Beijing.
They could have hired soldiers to farm for themselves and build their own houses, but now they can only hire them with money and hire people to be their tenant farmers.
But now, no matter how dissatisfied many powerful people are, they can only dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
Because they all understand that the current court cannot be offended. As long as the emperor still trusts people like Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang, they can't do anything to people like Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang.
"God damn Qi Yuanjing!"
"Why did I spend money to go to the capital camp? Just so I could live my life and get money! But what the hell did you do, and you forced me to follow you to build roads in some damn place in Daning outside the Pass."
"I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
As a result, the soldiers still in the Beijing camp were forced to accept two arrangements.
One is to serve in road construction and still receive salary;
One is to go to garrison and still be a regular soldier.
Because camp soldier Shen Zhuo failed to pass the drill, he was assigned to build roads. Along with other battalion soldiers who failed to pass the drill, he was escorted to Daning by the regular soldiers of the squadron who were also transferred to Daning.
And because of this, he was now scolding Qi Jiguang in a voice that could only be heard by him with snot and tears, and he scolded Qi Jiguang all the way to Daning.
However, not long after Shen Zhuo arrived in Daning, he saw that the commander in charge of them, Jian Yong, had brought many Mongolian women and said:
"Your Majesty has decreed that Han people are not allowed to live without wives. Those of you who came here without a family, now each of you can take one of you back to live a happy life and settle down here."
Shen Zhuo, who thought that he would not be able to afford a wife because of his status as a military household, stopped scolding him instantly. He looked at the friends he knew around him and asked with a smile, "Is there such a good thing?"
"Why didn't Qi tell me earlier that he would get mad at his mother-in-law if he came here? If he had, I wouldn't have scolded him! After all, you get paid to work in Jingying, and you get paid to work here too!"
