Chapter 1646 Lie down and eat fat sheep
The first is to rectify the inner court; the second is to rectify the imperial guards, the civil servants and military ministers of the outer dynasties, the governors and warlords of the border areas, and the Beijing camp that can eat but not fight. Do they still need to be rectified?
Several cabinet ministers and Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, didn't believe their ears!
After this new young emperor came to power, within a year or two, he really only focused on the pro-army and eunuchs, and did not punish the civil servants, military generals, and border officials? In fact, there were many treacherous people among the civil servants, military generals, and border officials of the Ming Dynasty!
"Your Majesty," said the great scholar Li Guo? "There are also many people in the outer court who are attached to Wei Ni and have done many evil things. We must keep an eye on them!"
Veteran minister Zhang Weixian also reported: "Your Majesty, among the military officials, there are also lackeys of Wei Ni! Moreover, now the Eastern captives are becoming more and more arrogant, there are rebels in the southwest, the Tartars in the northern Xinjiang are also ready to make trouble, and there are red-haired tribesmen in the southeast sea who are causing trouble in all aspects.
All of this requires Your Majesty to work hard and work hard for it!"
Zhu Youjian sighed, "I have ascended the throne as a young man, and I have grown up in the royal palace. I know nothing about the affairs of the country, so how dare I say anything and work hard to govern? As for whether the ministers of the outer dynasty are loyal or treacherous, how can I tell? Is it just that?
You can know everything by reading the memorials and chapters of Yushi Kedao? If it is so easy to distinguish between loyal and traitorous people, what is the use of having guards and cavalry?
I first organized the inner court and the imperial army in order to clearly detect the loyal and traitors inside and outside. Of course, the loyal can be used to great effect, and the traitors should of course be severely punished.
As for the inner court, I dare not and cannot rashly encourage myself until the pro-military reorganization is completed, lest I go in the wrong direction and do twice as much work but in vain.
So what I mean is that within two years, the outer court will demand stability!"
The lesson from the previous life was so profound! Before things were settled at home, I hurriedly went to eliminate the treacherous ministers from other dynasties. I also used a bunch of gentlemen who only knew how to sing high-profile words, and also used a bragging king Yuan Chonghuan.
When you're full, go have a fight with Lin Danhan!
As a result, within two years Huang Taiji was ordered to rush into the Great Wall and burn, kill and loot outside Beijing!
In order to drive Huang Taiji away, he asked Qin Wang from all over the world. As a result, Qin Wang's soldiers did not dare to fight the Tatars, so they rebelled against him. It was at that time that Li Zicheng turned from an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty into a rebel!
Therefore, those gentlemen who really get things done are not as reliable as the eunuchs who rely on Wei Zhongxian! My own random efforts are not as stable as my brother's carpentry.
"But most of Wei Ni's minions, including five tigers, five young men, ten children, forty grandsons, etc., are still in the court. How can this happen?" Zhang Weixian, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, said, "Your Majesty is not afraid that they will collude with each other to cause rebellion and avenge Wei Ni.
?”
Raising troops for revenge?
Zhu Youjian thought to himself that if this group of people really wanted to do this, would they still be traitors? Then they would not be brave men seeking revenge for the Lord!
"Your Majesty," Huang Liji, the first assistant academician, also said, "the five tigers, five cubs, ten children, and forty grandchildren are recognized as the minions of Wei Ni! If they are still in office, all upright people in the world will be disappointed!"
Shi Fenglai, one of the four cabinet ministers left by Emperor Tianqi to his younger brother, also came out and said, "Your Majesty, I second your proposal!"
Another great scholar, Zhang Ruitu, also said, "Your Majesty, these 60 people are really Wei Ni's besties and should not be spared lightly!"
Of course it is impossible for Zhu Youjian to let go of five tigers, five cubs, ten children, and forty grandchildren? These are 60 fat sheep! And they are expected to pay for indulgences! Each person will get at least a dozen or two hundred thousand taels.
When the money comes out, 60 people are worth 10 million taels. The cash may not be that much, but after including the land, houses, and debts, it will definitely be more than this amount.
However, Zhu Youjian couldn't send all these people to Jinyiwei Prison. The Jinyiwei gang couldn't do their business. They were better at blackmailing and eating fat sheep than anyone else. When 60 fat sheep arrived in the prison, Zhu Youjian even lost their wool.
Can't even catch it!
Therefore, Zhu Youjian wanted to eliminate the middleman Jinyiwei and deal directly with the fat sheep. Therefore, he refrained from catching the fat sheep from the outer court, and instead rectified Dongchang and Jinyiwei first.
Of course, Zhu Youjian couldn't let the fat sheep escape. At the door of the house where five tigers, five young men, ten children and forty grandchildren lived, soldiers from the Third Battalion of the Royal Horse Guards had already been guarding it.
They are just guards, they cannot go in to arrest people and steal things because Zhu Youjian has not issued an order to remove those people from their official positions, but just let them think about their mistakes behind closed doors!
No matter how fierce the soldiers of the Third Battalion of Yumajian are, they are just soldiers. At most, they are just small officers with sesame seeds and mung beans. They dare not challenge the majesty of the officials.
Now that he heard the four cabinet ministers unanimously saying that they wanted to operate on 60 fat sheep, Zhu Youjian also knew that the time was ripe to arrest people, but they could not arrest Jinyiwei and Dongchang.
"These 60 thieves should indeed be arrested," Zhu Youjian thought, "but the factory guards themselves have to rectify it, so how can they detain so many traitors? What if the remnants of Wei Ni among the factory guards let these thieves go?
, so what should I do?”
Run away? How is that possible?
Luo Sigong and Luo Yangxing thought to themselves that they didn't have a millionaire, so how could they let them go?
"Long live my lord," Xu Yingyuan, the eunuch of the East Factory and the superintendent of the ceremony, Bingbi, suggested at this time, "There are Qionghua Island and Nandao in the Taiye Pool in Xiyuan, which can be used to imprison this traitor.
After the Si and Dong factories have been reorganized, just hand them over to the factory guards."
Zhu Youjian nodded and asked Luo Yangxing, "Captain Zuo, what do you think?"
"I think this method is good," Luo Yangxing replied, "give me a month, and I will definitely put the Beizhen Fusi in order first."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Okay, just one month!"
A month later, except for the dead sheep, all of the 60 fat sheep had reformed and bought indulgences!
Zhu Youjian thought for a while and said, "Among the Five Tigers, Cui Chengxiu is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wu Chunfu is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. They are both important positions! Especially for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, you must choose the right person!"
Huang Liji, the chief assistant, immediately suggested, "Yan Mingtai, the governor of Jiliao, knows the military, and he may be able to temporarily take charge of the military department on Cui Chengxiu's behalf."
"What about the Jiliao front line? Yan Mingtai should stay in office!" Zhu Youjian actually had a favorite candidate for a long time. "I thought that King Nandu, the Minister of War in Jin Dynasty, could come to be the Minister of War."
Hearing that Zhu Youjia mentioned that the king was in charge of the military department in Jin, the ministers present couldn't help but frowned. The king in Jin was not a good person! Among all the previous Liaodong managers, Xiong Tingbi was the most "evil", and he criticized the emperor and heaven and earth! It was the first time he presided over the Liaodong affairs.
At that time, he quarreled with Emperor Wanli. When he took charge of Liaodong for the second time, he had a fierce fight with Wang Huazhen. In the end, Emperor Tianqi was so disgusted that he moved his head.
And this Wang Zaijin was the second "evil" person. When he replaced Xiong Tingbi in charge of Liaodong's military affairs, he counted troops and horses at Shanhaiguan, and he counted more than 100,000 people into more than 50,000 people. How many people did he offend!
Later, he advocated "setting up dangerous passes to protect the mountains and seas, and to defend the capital". In fact, he wanted to abandon western Liaoning and stick to Shanhaiguan. The Liaodong armies that he "spotted" only had more than 50,000 people left. Looking at the accounts, we knew that they could not counterattack.
Ah! The Jin army has more people than the Liao army. Can the Liao army still attack?
Therefore, Wang Zaijin did not hold the position of Liaodong's manager for long before he was ousted and replaced by Sun Chengzong, a "good man". The Liao soldiers were "expanded" to hundreds of thousands, and the castle builders were built one after another. What a good man!
But now that Zhu Youjian actually wants Wang to be in charge of the Jin army, then the Ming army's strategy in eastern Liaoning and western Liaoning will undoubtedly turn to a conservative one.
"As for the Ministry of Works," Zhu Youjian added, "I heard that there is a very capable Xu Guangqi who knows many strange and cunning Western skills. He can be put in charge of the Ministry of Works.
In addition, Yuan Keli did a good job when he was in charge of Denglai, can he be allowed to serve as governor of Denglai again and be in charge of military affairs in Dongjiang and Liaonan?"
Everyone heard that Zhu Youjian wanted to invite Yuan Keli, who had already served as an official, to come out again. They all understood that he wanted to retreat in western Liaoning, while maintaining Lushun and Jinzhou in southern Liaoning, and maintaining a containment force at the junction of North Korea and Jianzhou.
.
This is going to last forever with Donglu!
