Chapter 172 Excited

Zhu Chunchen suddenly understood why His Royal Highness had to meet him in this Northern Fushi Office, rather than in Zhongcui Palace in the Forbidden City. This little prince was delusional to use the Jinyiwei to scare him.

Innocence! How could I, Zhu Chunchen, be afraid of you, a small Jinyiwei? I want me to admit the crime of the military battle without any evidence. That's not to be thought of.

Zhu Cilang was not in a hurry. He had some ways to deal with Zhu Chunchen. He sneered: "Duke Chengguo, several eunuchs from the military battle are all staying in the imperial prison. Their words are said to be the raw materials for the red cannons from Duke Chengguo, your iron factory."

So what? You are a little furry child who is still not dry and wants to force him to confess. Zhu Chunchen was not polite at the moment and said to Zhu Cixuan directly: "Your Highness, it is inevitable that the imperial eunuch will be punished by the prison. It is possible that someone throws dirty water on his ministers, or that the eunuchs in the military battle cannot stand the punishment and slander the old ministers indiscriminately. These are all."

"It's OK!" Suddenly Zhu Cixuan clapped his hands: "It's great. I also know that the case of the war between the Red Barbarians and Cannons has nothing to do with Duke Cheng. Do you think it's Luo Yangxing?"

Luo Yangxing didn't expect that the two of them would suddenly ask him when they were talking. He hurriedly said "Oh": "Your Highness the Crown Prince is powerful, Your Highness is right."

No matter what he said, as long as the prince said it was right. Now even if Zhu Cilang farted, Luo Yangxing would follow him and suck it hard, and then he had to say in his mouth: it was fragrant like a camel brand cigarette. Not to mention that Zhu Cilang asked him what he said, Luo Yangxing naturally agreed.

After all, children are children. Seeing Zhu Cilang admitting his conscience, Zhu Chunchen was secretly happy: "The loyalty of the old minister to the court is clear, and the national defense secrets such as the Red Barbarian Cannon, how dare the old minister tamper with the steel?"

"Okay!" Zhu Cixuan slapped again, then pushed Luo Yangxing beside him with his arm.

Luo Yangxing had never seen such a scene before. His Royal Highness clapped, so he had to clap with him. This made Zhu Chunchen even more puzzled, and he didn't understand what the little prince was trying to get.

Fortunately, I had to give all this a great guide. Wang Aoyong gave Zhu Chunchen a lot of tricks.

Suddenly, Zhu Cilang changed the subject again: "But, Duke Cheng. Although I believe in you, these officials may not believe it, and the scholars in the world may not believe it. My father said that Duke Cheng and the country have made contributions, but in order to block the public, he had to remove Duke Cheng from his post as the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng."

Zhu Chunchen immediately became respectful: "Long live the grace of heaven, I am guilty."

Zhu Cilang looked at him with a smile: "I don't know if you have any guilt or not, but Jia Chuan's confession from the Military Affairs Bureau has been sent to the Qianqing Palace. I'm afraid Duke Cheng Guo didn't know about some of the contents of the confession."

Zhu Chunchen shook his head: "The old minister doesn't know."

"Well, Jia Chuan's confession also mentioned that the generals of the three battalions of the capital deducted military pay and the officers and soldiers of each battalion were paid empty salary. This matter has nothing to do with Duke Cheng, but Duke Cheng, you governor of the capital, can't be blamed."

Zhu Chunchen's heart skipped a beat and secretly cried something was wrong.

In fact, the capital was already in defense of emptiness, and the three camps had truly ushered in the darkest moment in the Chongzhen era. First of all, there were no soldiers available in the source of troops - "Everyone was sent to pay, and no one was available. A sold to B and B sold to C, which was easier to know how many." They replaced each other with names, and no one actually participated in the war.

Some soldiers can actually go back to the Longqing era of Jiajing and are simply the Ming Dynasty version of the magic weapon of the underworld! What about the actual personnel who joined the army? "It is not a market vague, it is a powerhouse, and it is never disciplined." The military composition is very poor and it is impossible to maintain normal military training activities at all.

Some people say that the Tumu Fort Incident of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's decline from prosperity, which is not unreasonable.

The three camps were positioned as field troops, not city defenses. At the beginning of their establishment, they often fought against foreign countries. For example, Emperor Chengzu's six northern expeditions to Mongolia and advanced to Qinghai, Gansu, all three camps were seen. The Ming Dynasty during the Zhu Di period was really under the command of the military and was invincible!

Unfortunately, after the Battle of Tumu Fort, the three major camps of the capital suffered a devastating blow. From then on, the pattern of military families taking over the Beijing camp was changed. Civilian officials and eunuchs of the Ministry of War began to take over the Beijing camp as military chiefs.

The Beijing camp, which was included in the civil service system, was seriously corruption. In the competition between the three major camps, the command power of the three major camps was in the competition of many forces. The nobles, military officials, the governors and the civil servants of the army often deducted military expenses and pay in various names, so that "there is food to be paid, and there is no such person." In other words, the military pay would be paid in accordance with regulations, but in fact there was no such person, and the military pay fell into the private pockets of the generals. What's more, after Guo Ying, a famous general during the Jiajing period, Guo Xun actually rented out the cavalry war horses to make a profit, making the troops unable to supply war horses.

The soldiers of the three major camps often cannot receive military pay because they "don't give food" and "just protect their sleep and food." The soldiers are of extremely low quality, often have food on their faces, cannot wear armor, and cavalry "can't even wave whips and whip and slapped horses."

The three camps that once galloped across the world and crossed the north and south of the Yangtze River were so brave at the hands of Chengzu Zhu Di. As a result, in the Chongzhen era, they could not even defend the city, let alone war.

No matter what your reason is, since you, Zhu Chunchen, is the governor of the Beijing camp, this matter is inseparable from you. Therefore, when Zhu Cilang proposed this matter, how could Zhu Chunchen not panic?

In fact, Zhu Cixuan never found him for the sake of the Red Barbarians. Instead, Zhu Cixuan had other purposes.

"Duke Chengguo, I will just say it. The three major camps must be rectified! The father removed your position as governor of the Beijing camp, not to let you avoid suspicion of military battles. In fact, my father was to rectify the three major camps, and those officials who were empty wages and embezzled and deducted military wages would be severely investigated! And then, why are the Jinyiwei busy?"

The implication is that if you investigate the three camps, you have to rely on their Jinyiwei.

Zhu Cilang knew very well that all the civil and military officials in the court were all talented people. It was impossible to hide it from them. If you were scheming with these dog officials, Zhu Cilang was afraid that he would not be their opponent.

When Chongzhen removed Zhu Chunchen from his post as governor of the Beijing camp, someone soon guessed that Emperor Chongzhen was going to attack the three camps. The emperor's every move of these old foxes in the court could not hide their eyes.

Since it was impossible to hide it, Zhu Cilang simply did not hide it. He directly told Zhu Chunchen that we were going to investigate the three major camps and thoroughly investigate! None of the officials who deducted military pay or those officials who had empty salary could escape.

But we don’t believe that you, Zhu Chunchen, can still be rude in this matter.
