Yuan Cheng has taken the weight and become determined, and must carry out major disarmament.
Of course, Yuan Cheng does not expect to achieve it in one step. The bottom line is to completely eliminate the 30,000 quota for the avant-garde of the government army.
Yuan Cheng was also unable to help himself. The vanguard of the imperial army was a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh. Only by completely eliminating the vanguard of the government army and making a great contribution to the emperor can he save his life and wealth.
The great eunuchs inherited from the Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande, and Zhengtong dynasties include Wang Zhen, Fan Hong, Liu Yongcheng, Jin Ying, Xing'an, Wang Jin, Ruan An, and Cao Jixiang.
Wang Zhen and Fan Hong were killed in Tumubao; Jin Ying, Xing'an, Liu Yongcheng, and Cao Jixiang were killed by the emperor; Ruan An took the initiative to beg for leave and saved his life.
There are so many influential figures in the inner court, but now only Wang Jin and his family have the last laugh.
So Yuan Cheng thought, I am a member of Fan Hong's family. Although I have no grudge against the emperor today, the emperor is now cleaning up the inner court on a large scale. I can be used or discarded by the emperor.
Whether it is useful or useless is ambiguous.
If you don't make progress at this time and try your best to get closer to the emperor, you will be finished easily. Even if you don't die, you will be swept into the garbage heap.
Therefore, Yuan Cheng cherished the tasks assigned by the emperor to defend Nanjing and streamline the guard army. The emperor is still willing to assign tasks to you, which shows that he thinks you can still be saved. If management doesn't bother to care about you, then it's all over.
Yuan Cheng did not directly tell Xu Qi that he wanted to abolish the avant-garde of the government army. Instead, he reviewed the thirty-eight guards of Shangzhi and proposed that several guards be transferred to Guangxi and Yunnan to participate in the war to pacify Annan, including The vanguard of the government army.
Xu Qi is not stupid either. Those who can become Minister of the Ministry of War are old foxes who are well versed in the ways of strategizing.
When the emperor first ascended the throne, the officials were not familiar with the emperor's style of behavior, so sometimes they could not understand the emperor's intentions.
But after two full years of observation and speculation, the important officials in the court had basically figured out the emperor's path.
Important ministers such as Xu Qi themselves have very strong comprehensive abilities, not to mention that the ministers will spend a lot of money to hire talented people to serve as their staffs, and the ministers will also communicate with each other and exchange their experiences.
Every move, every word and every action of the emperor had long been torn apart and crushed to pieces by a large group of capable people, who analyzed them carefully, inside and out.
So even though Yuan Cheng was secretive, Xu Qi still heard it: Yuan Cheng wanted to move the Xuanmiao and orthodox lineal guards such as the avant-garde of the government army.
The avant-garde of the government army, with a total of 30,000 people at full strength, was specially selected by Emperor Taizong to form a young army that was young and strong but lacked combat experience, and was specifically responsible for protecting the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji.
Later, during the Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties, the court continued to allocate new troops to supplement the army, so the avant-garde of the government army maintained a strength of 30,000 people.
In recent years, wars have continued in various places, and the avant-garde of the government army has been depleted, but there are still nearly 20,000 people.
Today, the emperor is full of fear of the imperial guards, especially the vanguard of the imperial army, which makes the emperor even more uncomfortable. Therefore, as soon as they defeated Wala and gained power, they immediately transferred all the imperial guards from Beijing to Nanjing.
Xu Qi could understand the emperor. Although the father died and the son succeeded him, the son would not change his father's rule. But the problem is that everything in Xuan Temple was inherited by Emperor Gongrang.
Nowadays, it turns out that everything in Prince Yin's Mansion was paid for by the court in accordance with Taizu's regulations. It is really not possible to say that he inherited any property from Xuan Temple.
As for the legacy of the imperial army avant-garde, it was all in the hands of Emperor Gongrang. Now you ask the avant-garde of the government army to serve the emperor. If they refuse, the emperor will not believe it.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has never thought of wooing Kaminao, because the emperor wisely realized from the beginning that wooing him would be useless, as these people were not mature enough.
The emperor chose to leave Shangzhiwei aside and start a new career alone. This is why Yuan Cheng and Xu Qi refused to give in to each other.
Xu Qi, as a court minister, did not want to be so decisive; Yuan Cheng, as the eunuch of the inner court, just wanted to please the emperor.
Thinking of this, Xu Qi began to scold An Guogong Xu Heng in his heart. This was the biggest boost to the rise of the emperor today. If Xu Heng had not fallen to the emperor today, perhaps Emperor Gongrang would have been restored to power long ago.
In the Tumubao Incident, the Sixth Division was wiped out and the honors were severely damaged.
At that time, there were three main nobles and armies left in the Ming Dynasty that could fight: Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao's expedition to the southeast, Jingyuan Bo Wang Jing's expedition to Luchuan, and Xing'an Marquis Xu Heng's Shaanxi frontier army.
Others, like the Liaodong Frontier Army and the Shanxi Frontier Army, were simply vulnerable. Only the border troops in Gansu, Ningxia, Guyuan and other towns in Shaanxi can be called elite.
As soon as Xu Heng pledged his allegiance, the emperor not only defeated Wala, but also completely suppressed the army led by Wang Ji and Chen Mao. This allowed the emperor to slowly split up and weaken the two armies loyal to Emperor Gongrang.
In the mutiny in the capital a month ago, the 15,000-strong Beijing camp army led by Shi Heng, Sun Boring, and Liu Yongcheng were all killed by the emperor. No one was left. This was once again done by the Xiaoqi battalion composed of Shaanxi frontier troops led by Xu Heng. Good thing.
The result is now good, Yuan Cheng is determined to carry out the Zhiwei disarmament, and behind it is the will of the emperor.
After thinking hard, Xu Qi tried Yuan Cheng and said: "Mr. Yuan, you see, the Holy One previously ordered Shangshu to governor the military affairs of Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan to mobilize 30,000 Nanjing troops to suppress the Miao rebellion.
How about we do this and first select 30,000 troops from the Shangzhi Guards to suppress the Miao rebellion. Select 30,000 elites from the remaining Shangzhi guards to form six guards and three regiments and battalions.
We will try it on a small scale first and see the effect in two or three years. If the effect is good, we will then carry out large-scale reorganization. By then, the Miao rebellion should have been over, and it would be more reasonable to transfer the troops who suppressed the Miao rebellion back to Nanjing for centralized reorganization. "
Yuan Cheng shook his head: "Two or three years? Is Xu Shangshu kidding? All the reorganization must be completed this year.
Moreover, the army does not need to be deployed to suppress the Miao rebellion for the time being, and Yu Shangshu does not need to go to the governor's military affairs.
Not long ago, His Majesty sent the Censor of the Right Capital to oversee the military affairs of Huguang and Guizhou.
The unstable Bozhou Xuanwei Division in Sichuan has been transferred to Guizhou, and the remaining parts are under the responsibility of Sichuan Governor Han Yong.
The Holy One has already made arrangements, so Xu Shangshu doesn't have to worry too much. "
Xu Qi sighed heavily. An inexplicable mutiny in Beijing had messed up everything. Many vassal kings in the south were abolished, and the previous military arrangements did not count.
Sanyang was completely liquidated, but the emperor appointed Wang Lai as governor of Huguang and Guizhou military affairs. Wang Lai had been recommended by Yang Shiqi and highly regarded by Yu Qian.
Recently, the emperor appointed Nian Fu as governor of Zhejiang and Fujian military affairs, and Nian Fu was recommended by Yang Pu.
The emperor's intention was very clear. The liquidation would only target Sanyang and his family, and would have no impact on other officials.
But there was Nian Fu, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, near Nanjing. Xu Qi always felt that this was not a good sign.
After a short period of thinking, Xu Qi chose to continue arguing and argued with Yuan Cheng for a long time. Until the evening, there was no result. The two of them broke up and went home to find their respective mothers.
…
But it is said that in the city of Beijing, in Beijuxianfang, there is a Huushao Hutong, and there is a small courtyard at the innermost side of the Hutong.
The owner of the courtyard is named Yang Xun.
Yang Xun is an excellent painter. His father was appointed by the imperial court to go to Japan to learn lacquer painting techniques and passed them back to China.
Yang Xun devoted himself to research, improved it, created five-color gold ingots and cast spells. His skills were superior to those of others, and even the Japanese were ashamed of themselves.
Living in the capital is not easy, but Yang Xun lives a pleasant life with his unique skills.
However, people often live life without wanting to live it well.
In the evening, Yang Xun returned home with a frown on his face, holding several rolls of paper.
His wife, Mrs. Li, hurriedly came out and said, "Husband, what's going on? Are you angry with Shangguan? That shouldn't be the case. Although my husband has no official position, but because of your craftsmanship, even Shangguan has to give you three to five points of face." ah."
Yang Xun walked into the main hall and slapped the paper in his hand on the table: "Let's take a look. What kind of newspaper is the new thing released by the imperial court?"
