Chapter 526

There are people in the court who are good at being an official, which is a constant truth.

When Liu Ming became Emperor Chongzhen's brother-in-law, everything became easier. Outside the Great Wall, belonged to Liaoning, and this was an imperial edict. Don't talk about what happened before. This matter was decided by Chongzhen.

Of course, with a rich brother-in-law, the inspiration obtained by streamlining palace maids and eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and laid off the vulnerable guards.

The main troops that were abolished this time were the Jinwu vanguard and the Jinwu rear guard, which were merged into the Jinwu Guard, the Yulin Left Guard and the Yulin Right Guard, which were merged into the Yulin Guard. The Mansion Army Front Guard and the Mansion Army Guard were abolished, leaving only the Mansion Army Left Guard and the Mansion Army Right Guard.

In other words, when they went to the twelve guards, Chongzhen cut off four guards and eighteen thousand households in one breath, and the 42,560 people in the military list were packaged and thrown to Liu Mingyu by Chongzhen.

You should know that as early as the second year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen had actually discovered that these twelve guards were useless at all. They just had a group of manure-making machines, but they would not give them food and pay, and would even roll around and make endless troubles.

But it is not a matter of one sentence to disarmament. Just like the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace, they have worked in the palace for more than ten or twenty years, and they have worked hard without any credit. They can't just ignore it without saying a word.

Even if the layoffs are cut, each person will have to pay the money for the An family of more than 100 taels?

These silvers totaled more than 100,000 taels, which was also a lot of money for Chongzhen.

By the same token, the abolition of garrisons also requires money and food. This is not only 42,560 people, but 42,560 military households in the capital, with a total of more than 200,000 people. Putting them in the capital is a huge burden. If they fill their stomachs, they will need more than one million stones of food.

For the court, this was a very cost-effective deal.

The soldiers in the Beijing camp were all old men and had complex relationships. An inconspicuous hereditary household might have a relative relationship with any royal family or a nobleman. If they could greed for their money and food, they would make trouble.

Not only did the emperor hate these Qiu Ba, but also the civil officials were annoyed. They could not use it, beat it, or provoke it. They were all dumped on Liu Mingyu, and the civil officials welcomed them with both hands.

It can not only reduce the court's food and salary expenses, but also throw it to Liu Ming into a big trouble. These Beijing soldiers will be very troublesome. Those who belong to toads can't bite you to death and can disgust you to death.

"Your Majesty, I don't want these four guards and eighteen thousand houses!"

Chongzhen was slightly stunned: "Why don't you? You have to manage Liaoning. There is a shortage of population. I will give you a population, four guards, eighteen thousand households, and more than 200,000 people..."

"These guards cannot fight at all. They can't do anything and eat enough. Why do I want such a bunch of ancestors?"

Chongzhen said with a smile: "You don't need to use them to fight, just let them go to Liaodong to farm. And these military households have another advantage, that is, these people don't have to pay taxes, and the twenty-five guards of Liaodong have long been abandoned. You just send them there and fill the gap!"

"No, no!"

Liu Mingyu shook his head and said, "This group of hereditary families, hundreds of households, poliests, commanders, are all slick loaches. As long as they arrive in Liaoning, they are afraid that Liaodong will be tortured in distortion!"

"I didn't discuss it for you!"

Chongzhen said with a stern face: "I am issuing an order. The Ministry of War has issued a transfer order. From now on, all of them will be under your control. If you don't care, there will be no problem. Anyway, they will ask you for food and salary!"

Chongzhen and Liu Mingyu became slutty.

Liu Mingyu looked at Chongzhen and said, "It's okay to ask me to accept these four guards and eighteen thousand-household offices, but those disobedient soldiers must be killed and chopped, but the court cannot stop them!"

"no problem!"

Chongzhen's eyes lit up: "Catch their evidence and let the Jinyiwei search the house!"

Chongzhen did not search his house and was also a chance to make a fortune.

With the wave of the big boss Chongzhen's hand, a magnitude 12-magnitude earthquake struck a Beijing camp.

Standing in the pit, don’t poop, and you will be sent to Liaoning.

On the seventh day of the 12th month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, the 18,000 households of the Four Guards received an order from the Ministry of War. The 18,000 households of the Four Guards moved to Liaoning. If it were five years ago, even three years ago, these Qiuba people would have been tantrums and would never move.

However, for them, this news is simply a pie that falls from the sky.

The people of Liaoning immigrated so far, hundreds of batches of immigrants were immigrated, and these immigrants were assigned to land and housing in Liaodong. The most intuitive thing is that the treatment Liu family army enjoyed was not a secret. They were very good at inquiring about information.

They all knew that the Liu family soldiers had three dry meals every day, and they could eat rice and white flour every day, meat every day, four sets of military uniforms, four pairs of shoes, and various benefits every year.

The treatment of the Beijing soldiers was not good. The military soldiers originally had land, but there were only a lot of land in the capital. For more than two hundred years, the military fields of the garrison had been occupied by nobles and gentry. The Beijing soldiers were not full of slaughter and vegetables. Now that it is better, it is finally their turn to enjoy this treatment.

As soon as all the news spread, many military households who had already fled ran back suddenly. There were long queues in front of the doors of the hundred households and thousand households. Bankrupt farmers and even beggars demanded military citizenship. Some of the related ones were quickly transferred from other guards to the four guards and 18,000 guards.

Those hundreds of households and thousands of households were stunned and sighed: "It is the first time I have known that military origins are so popular after living for so many years!"

In just one day, the 18,000 households of the four guards and 18,000 families moved to the Nanyuan Military Camp, together with their families, had exceeded 300,000.

On the eighth day of the 12th month, just after noon, with a neat footsteps coming, the commander, deputy commander, and Qianhu, who were in the camp, heard the news, hurried to the front of the camp and lined up to welcome Liu Mingyu's arrival.

Liu Mingyu took his two hundred personal soldiers and walked neatly, and came to Nanyuan Camp in a mighty manner. Although there were only more than 200 people, he pushed towards this side silently. The black iron armor was polished to a shiny place, but it did not shine.

As Liu Mingyu's personal army, in order to avoid exposing his strength in the capital, he was equipped with cold weapons. Of course, this was only on the surface.

In the eyes of other Ming soldiers, the spear produced by Liu Ji was simply a horse spear. After all, an ordinary spear only had a three-inch razor blade, while the spear equipped by the Liu family army had a three-edge blade, which was half a meter long.

The sharpness of the gun blade is so scary that many soldiers carry powerful crossbows, carry bags of arrows, and have broken swords hanging around their waists. The murderous gaze makes everyone's scalp numb.

The commanders and the thousand households secretly gasped: "What a terrible soldier!"

The servants of the generals stared at the extremely exquisite equipment on these soldiers, and then touched the patched battle jacket on their bodies. The thin leather armor on their bodies became more and more aggrieved the more they looked at it, and their eyes turned red.

An extremely tall war horse with black and shiny hair all over his body ran over. The knight was wearing iron armor, a steel helmet, a red bow and white feather arrow, and a long sword around his waist. He was strong and powerful, and his eyes were like lightning. He swept across the commander and the thousand households.

The generals knelt down and said, "I am not good at ease, please see the prince!"

"Everyone get up, don't kneel down at any time in the future. I don't like this. I kneel too much and my bones are soft!" Liu Mingyu rode his horse into the camp.

When he arrived at the middle camp campus, Liu Ming saw the dense soldiers, and could not see the edge at all.

Of course, more of them are the people around the school grounds and the military subordinates.

"Come!"

Liu Mingyu waved his hand.

Liu Fugui led his men to the front of the General Stage with four big carts.

Liu Mingyu stretched out his hand and pointed: "I am a handsome man who is here for the first time. I want to give you some gifts to express my respect!"

The generals knelt down again. They actually discussed giving Liu Mingyu a big gift, but they never thought that these things were not ready, and Liu Mingyu had already arrived.

"Mr., really, no, no!"

"Don't misunderstand, there is really a gift to you, not a new official to take office. If I really want to establish my authority with you, none of you will be able to escape. With your appearance and clothing and the record of leading troops, I would have been leading the army long ago!"

Liu Mingyu looked at the generals and said, "The four guards and 18,000 households, four commanders, eight commanders, eight commanders, eight commanders, eight custodians, eight custodians, thirty-eight thousand households, and twenty-three deputy lieutenants. These are armored and swords, please divide them quickly!"

The generals then discovered that the cart was equipped with the same general style as the armor worn by Liu Mingyu. On the surface, it was the same, but in fact it was different. This armor was heavier and thicker than Liu Mingyu's armor. It belonged to the same group as the only heavy-armored swords and axe masters of the Liu family army.

The generals looked at this set of dark armor. The elliptical steel helmet was quite heavy. The breastplate made of large steel plates was extremely strong, incapable of swords and guns, and could not penetrate the arrows. The helmet and breastplate were carefully polished and extremely smooth, but there was no decoration on it, and there was no pattern on it, which was somewhat of a flaw.

In addition, there is a black battle jacket, which is also made of good fabrics and is neatly lined and footed. Such clothes must be very durable. The eyes of the generals lit up again, and such a set of armor would be worth at least hundreds of taels of silver.

Liu Mingyu looked at the generals and said, "Although you commanders are unlikely to have the chance to go to the battlefield, you are generals after all, and the generals should look like generals. What does it look like when wearing patched battle jackets like ordinary military households? Wear these armors and they will be worn during formal meetings in the future. Who dares not wear them? Serve the military sticks!"

The total weight of this set of armor is 36 kilograms, plus a 30-kilogram and 6 kilograms of Possessor, which is about 40 kilograms.
