What Zhu Qiyu has to do is to replace all the Gyeonggi troops with his cronies.
This matter seemed extremely difficult, but Zhu Qiyu established his victory very easily.
The credit goes to two people. One is Taizong, who established the two-capital system, allowing Zhu Qiyu to move troops disloyal to him to Nanjing. The positions and salaries of these soldiers have not been reduced, which minimizes the resistance to reform.
This is similar to how Taizong abandoned Nanjing and went to Beijing to do something else.
From now on, there will be two powerful Beijing camps in the Ming Dynasty. One is responsible for the war in the north and the other is responsible for the war in the south.
The Beijing Camp was under the management of the Houjun Governor's Office and the Beijing Ministry of War.
Nanjing Jingying is under the management of the Chinese Military Governor's Office and the Nanjing Ministry of War.
The rear military governor's office and the central military governor's office are independent and not subordinate to each other.
The Nanjing Ministry of War must accept the supervision and guidance of the Beijing Ministry of War.
Another great hero is none other than the 'Orthodox Emperor'.
First, tens of thousands of elite troops from Beijing's camp were transferred to the southwest to conquer Luchuan and to the southeast to quell the civil uprising.
Secondly, the remaining troops from the Beijing Camp were divided into three waves and sent to Shanxi.
The Beijing Camp was composed of soldiers drawn from various guard stations, including Shangzhi's personal guards.
Therefore, the soldiers from Beijing Jingying and Beijing Shangzhi either died in Shanxi or were transferred to the south.
The only old Beijing camp that has returned to an organic form is the Shenji Camp. Coupled with the newly built Xiaoqi Battalion, these are Zhu Qiyu's direct troops, and naturally their interests will not be harmed in the reform.
Therefore, although Zhu Qiyu made great progress in reform, no one stood up to oppose it.
Because there are no people left, we can’t object even if we want to.
Who did Zhu Qiyu learn this trick from?
Well, it was none other than Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao.
Historically, Yu Qian took advantage of the Ming army's elite march south and the defeat of Tumubao to add ten regiments to the Beijing camp, completely changing the power structure of the Beijing camp.
Moreover, Yu Qian did not receive much resistance. Those who were capable of causing trouble were either in the south or had already gone to see the late emperor.
Zhu Qiyu learned from Yu Qian's methods, and also gave Yu Qian face, allowing him to reorganize his personal guards in Nanjing and form a 12th regiment battalion.
The reorganization of the Beijing camp was put in charge of Xu Heng, Duke of Anguo, and Luo Tong, Minister of War.
Zhu Qiyu established the responsibilities of everyone present and described their respective bright futures one by one, and then ordered everyone to leave.
After seeing everyone off, Zhu Qiyu leisurely walked along the path and returned to his Yuquan villa.
Zhu Qiyu’s favorite poet is not Tao Yuanming.
In addition to growing rice and vegetables, raising chickens and ducks, Zhu Qiyu paid more attention to the construction of landscape gardens.
The Yuquan Villa in front of him is Zhu Qiyu's favorite place.
This small property faces south, with mountains on its back and a lake on its back. There is a main hall in the middle, and there are ancillary rooms on the east, south, west and north sides of the main hall, connected to the main hall by closed corridors.
This main hall is not a living room, because Zhu Qiyu will not let anyone after the beloved concubine enter this place, so there is no need for a living room.
There is a hot spring at the foot of the mountain to the north of Yuquan Villa. Zhu Qiyu ordered the hot spring to be led into the main hall through a culvert, and a three-foot-square bathing pool was dug in the main hall.
Under the four auxiliary rooms, hot springs are also introduced through culverts, and the floors are paved with white marble, forming a simple version of floor heating.
The west wing and the south wing are built facing the lake. Zhu Qiyu lives in the west wing on weekdays, and the south wing is used as a living room. The north and east annexes were occupied by the concubines.
As soon as he returned to his western annex room, a warm fragrance hit him.
Several beloved concubines came forward to wait on her with only a few inches of hair and smiling faces.
Zhu Qiyu was so blessed that he came up with a sentence: When the flower energy hits you, you will feel the sudden warmth.
Wanqing on the side immediately replied: "The sound of magpies piercing the trees brings joy to the new weather."
Zhu Qiyu asked in surprise: "Have you all read so many books? I just finished the last sentence and you can continue the next sentence?"
Wan Qing raised her pretty face, revealing her cunningness like a little fox: "Of course, only a fool can't recite Lu Fangweng's poems."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground. Lu You wrote more than 10,000 poems in his life. I just said something casually, and you all can memorize it?
Lin Xiangyu couldn't bear to see it, so she explained from the side: "Husband, don't listen to this ghost girl's fooling around. It's also a coincidence that this poem contains the word 'Qing'. We accidentally mentioned it once, and Qing'er took it seriously.
So after her husband said the first sentence, she could immediately catch the next sentence. If you look for another poem by Lu Fangweng, she will definitely not be able to pick it up. "
Only then did Zhu Qiyu suddenly realize: "What a Qinger, how dare you deceive the master, I will be the first to cook for you in a while."
When Qing'er heard this, she immediately lay down on the bed, looking like she was ready to take whatever you wanted.
Lin Xiangyu continued: "Lu Fangweng's song "Village Living Book Joy".
Hongqiaomei City is surrounded by Xiaoshan Mountain and White Tower is born in the spring water of Fanjiang River.
The scent of flowers strikes people and they know it is suddenly warm, and the sound of magpies piercing the trees welcomes the clear weather.
The wine shop is cheap and the poor are still drunk; the fields are deep and muddy, and the old people are still plowing.
What I like most is that I have enough official gifts in advance and that there are no officials knocking on wood or thorns for many years.
If Qing'er hadn't interrupted, what my husband would have missed most would have been the fourth sentence: What I like most is to be well-endowed in officialdom in advance, and to have no officials knocking on wood or thorns for many years. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "You are really my confidant. In order to protect the people of the world from being exploited by tax collectors, I worry every day."
To implement my three-year tax-free plan, I need a lot of "advance official gifts". I don’t know if I can get enough money by cleaning up Shanxi.
There is also gold, flower and silver, one million taels of income a year, which I have transferred to the household department.
But I still have to pay to support our three pro-military guards. If we can't find new income, we really can't afford to support these people. "
Lin Xiangyu said with a smile: "How about my husband sell us sisters for money. While we are still virgins, we can resell them at a good price. If they are all in bud, the price will drop."
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he nodded repeatedly and counted on his fingers: "Qi'er is worth two hundred thousand taels, and Qianxue and Su Xi together are also worth two hundred thousand taels. Qing'er and Ningxiang are worth fifty thousand taels each. , let me calculate how much it can sell for in total."
Hearing this, Mu Yu smiled very tenderly and said: "Husband, wait a minute, my family has made a medicinal meal for my husband, and it has been simmering all afternoon. I will fill a bowl and feed it to my husband, and then you can continue." "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately waved his hands: "Forget it, I won't sell it, I won't sell it, I'll keep you for my own enjoyment."
Lin Xiangyu continued to ask: "Husband, are there any other important events in the court next month?"
Zhu Qiyu asked curiously: "What's the big deal? Why are you suddenly concerned about state affairs?"
"Husband, you are confused. Next month will be the day for the slave family to open their buds. Naturally, the slave family hopes that the court will have nothing to do and that the husband can concentrate on playing with women at home."
"Oh, yes, yes, I've been really worried about state affairs these days. There shouldn't be any major events next month.
The envoy from Wala brought back the news of the death of Zhen and Jing, and he would definitely make trouble with Boyan Timur first, such as treating the Emperor harshly, angering the Ming envoy, or taking away the items we sent to the Emperor. All the women and men were sent back.
However, it shouldn't be until next month that the news from Wala comes back to the court. "
