Chapter 47: The army is powerful and kills the concubine
After Zhu Yuanzhang founded the country, he established the Marshal's Office of the General Army, and appointed Zhu Wenzheng as the Grand Commander, to control the world's troops. Among them, there were 48 guards in the capital, and later it was divided into the five front, back, middle, left and right governors' offices, with a total of more than 200,000 officers and soldiers.
Later, Zhu Di ascended the throne and changed the Jingying into three major camps, namely the Five Military Camp, the Three Thousand Camps, and the Shenji Camp.
After Tumu Fort, Yu Qian changed the three major camps to the Tenth Regiment Camp, and the civil servants governor of the Beijing Camp, beginning the era of civil servants leading the military power.
During the Jiajing period, three major camps were restored, but the three thousand camps were changed to the Shenshu camp, and the censors sent to recruit another 40,000 new recruits, raising a total of 140,000.
After the three major wars of Wanli, the court was busy with internal strife, which led to the slump of military affairs. Now, Zhu Youxiao's hands have mostly used the Guanning Iron Cavalry and the corruption of the administration, which has caused the Beijing troops to be killed in name only, the actual number of soldiers is less than 100,000, and the discipline is even more scattered.
Although it is the Emperor's Majesty Zhu Youxiao who is coming, due to heavy snow, tens of thousands of Ming troops in the Beijing camp can no longer stand it in such weather for a long time.
Many people just ran away and escaped quietly, while others simply stomped their feet on the spot, or seven or eight people gathered in a bunch of them and rubbed their hands.
Only Lu Xiangsheng and his generals were still standing in the same place as if they were standing straight, and the other one was Obai. Although he had already surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at this time, he sneered at the Ming army.
Zhu Chunchen, Duke Cheng, couldn't bear to see that his relatives and friends in the Beijing camp stood in the heavy snow and were froze and hungry, so he couldn't help but persuade Lu Xiangsheng: "Mr. Lu, the wind and snow are so strong, Your Majesty is afraid that he won't come. Otherwise, we will let all the soldiers retreat. There is no need to be freezing here. After all, if this is froze, we will not be able to explain to the nobles."
Although the battle of Tumu Fort damaged many nobles, there were still many noble children serving as military officers in the Beijing camp.
Most of these people are related to the Ming Dynasty royal family or have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, no one dared to touch these people. Even Lu Xiangsheng, who had always been strict in the military, did not dare to take the blame for the world to strictly control these noble children and regulate the military law.
Lu Xiangsheng also reported to Zhu Youxiao, but because Emperor Zhu Youxiao has been unable to spare time these days, the matter in Beijing has been repeatedly shelved.
Fortunately, three days ago, His Majesty finally sent someone to pass the imperial edict, saying that today, Shen Shi Sanshi would review and purify the Beijing camp.
Lu Xiangsheng was naturally very excited. Seeing that the emperor personally purged the Beijing camp, he originally wanted to lead the group of Beijing camp soldiers to practice well in advance, but who knew that these Beijing camp officers and soldiers were all like old men.
Even though today is the day when His Majesty personally inspected, these people were all so casual that they were all scattered. Seeing that it started to snow heavily, they all clamored to leave.
These people are His Majesty's royal relatives, and they can be regarded as His Majesty's own people. Lu Xiangsheng dared not beat or scold him. After all, no one knows whether His Majesty will use himself as a scapegoat to appease the group of honors.
Therefore, although he did not agree with Zhu Chunchen's proposal, he did not dare to stop him. He just said: "Dude, since you are the left governor of the Central Army Governor's Office and assisted in the Beijing camp, you should understand the reason why the military order is caused and you have to follow it. As long as the emperor's will is not received, you cannot act rashly."
"Go to the damn military orders and not the military orders. I don't believe that Your Majesty will kill him, the aunt!"
Zhu Chunchen was the son-in-law, and his wife was the daughter of Emperor Wanli, so he could indeed be considered Zhu Youxiao's uncle. It was precisely because of this that he was fearless and threw the purple clay teapot in his hand to the ground and walked out with his people.
Seeing this, several noble children followed. When they saw Lu Xiangsheng, they just snorted and then left with a swagger.
Lu Xiangsheng's fist was clattering loudly. If it weren't for the fact that this guy was the prince-consort, he would have even killed this man directly to warn You.
...
"Your Majesty is here!"
After a shout, Zhu Youzhai's honor guard entered the Jingying Schoolyard.
"Just stay inside and read books. It's windy and snowy outside, don't come out." Zhu Youxiao told Xiao Rushi and got off the dragon chariot. As soon as he saw that the snow on the school field outside was three feet thick, but there were very few soldiers on the school field.
Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but feel very shocked. There were 100,000 officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp. Even if there were generals who had to pay empty salaries, they had to have 50,000 or 60,000. Why did the officers and soldiers standing on the large school ground look less than 20,000 people?
Moreover, they were all disciplined and casual, either tilted and turned upside down, and there were even people leaning against a bunch of chattering, and they were still there drinking and shouting and chanting.
Lu Xiangsheng and the generals who were still present saw Zhu Youxiao coming to salute, but Zhu Youxiao, who was already three points of anger, could not give the famous minister a good look. He snorted and asked coldly: "Love, is this the Beijing camp you gave me to the admiral?"
Lu Xiangsheng knelt directly in the snow: "Your Majesty! You can't train troops unless you are me. In fact, these officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp are all your personal soldiers. I have no right to be a good person and cannot be controlled!"
When Zhu Youxiao saw Lu Xiangsheng say this, he understood a little, so he personally helped him up: "You stand up first." As he said that, Zhu Youxiao asked again: "Where is the left governor Zhu Chunchen?"
"Report to Your Majesty, he just left." Lu Xiangsheng replied.
"Absurd! He was a decent left governor and the generals in charge of the Beijing camp, but he was unable to leave his post without permission." As he said that, Zhu Youxiao immediately shouted and said, "Embroidered Yiwei, take Zhu Chunchen to me!"
Zhu Chunchen, who had not yet walked too far, was dragged by the Jinyiwei and kept shouting: "What are you doing? Let me go, believe it or not, and I will go to Your Majesty to sue you!"
The officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp present all looked at this side. When they saw the Emperor Zhu Youxiao holding his face, they were naturally a little scared, but they did not think that his Majesty would do anything to the prince-consor Zhu Chunchen.
Because everyone knows that Zhu Chunchen is His Majesty's son-in-law.
"Your Majesty, you are here. I am just going out for a while. Why do you have to catch me like this so much? How can I put my face on me like this?"
When Zhu Chunchen saw Zhu Youxiao, he didn't realize that he would be punished. He even questioned Zhu Youxiao with some unhappiness.
Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything coldly. He knew what kind of Zhu Chunchen was. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng broke through BJ City. It was this guy who opened the city gate with Chen Yan to welcome Li Zicheng into the city. He was the first surrender minister to persuade Li Zicheng to ascend the throne.
Although this guy was Zhu Youjian's uncle of Chongzhen, he did not hesitate to abandon the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Therefore, in order to revitalize military discipline today, Zhu Youxiao did not have the idea that Zhu Chunchen was the son-in-law, so he could not take action because he was the son-in-law, not to mention that he was just a time traveler.
"Obai!"
Seeing that the two Jinyiwei could not hold back the self-righteous Zhu Chunchen, Zhu Youxiao called Obai over.
"Your Majesty gave me the order!"
Oboi walked over and bowed.
"Press Zhu Chunchen to the ground!"
Zhu Youxiao's order was immediately scared Zhu Chunchen to his shock. He didn't expect his Majesty to say such words.
But before he could react, Oboi lifted Zhu Chunchen over with one hand, pressed him directly to the ground, and stepped on Zhu Chunchen's back. Zhu Chunchen could not move at all.
"Your Majesty, I am yours." Before Zhu Chunchen finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao had already swung his sword, and a head flew out like this, and his blood suddenly burst out.
Everyone present was shocked. No one expected that the dignified left governor, son-in-law, and Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Chunchen, were beheaded by the Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
Liu Rushi, hiding in the carriage, was also scared to his face. She didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor did not love others like a big brother. It turned out that sometimes he would be more terrifying than a devil.
