Chongzhen Wiretapping System

Chapter 91

The final results came out: out of more than 1 people, only 870 people raised their hands.No surprise, these people are all strong and healthy people.Others, even though there were many able-bodied ones, did not raise their hands.After all, the emperor's example was about going to war with the prestigious Manchu Qing army, which was no joke.

Emperor Chongzhen was not surprised by this.

As a result, in the army under the Yumajian, except for the Yongwei Battalion with about 1 people, there are less than [-] soldiers left.

After the soldiers on the school field were re-divided into two groups, Chen Baoting led the captain of the Jinyi Guards to register and verify the non-combatant soldiers, verify their information, pay them their dues, and prepare for their resettlement.There are so many people that it may take several days.

The soldiers on the other side all gathered in front of the commander's platform, and the lineup was much smaller.Emperor Chongzhen glanced at them and observed them.

He was recently reading "Ji Xiao's New Book" written by Qi Jiguang. Of course, he never thought about training soldiers himself, which is unrealistic.However, at least you must have eyesight, how about evaluating the soldiers you will command in the future?
With a will, the soldiers below began to practice their respective abilities, or combat skills, or formation drills.The shouts and hahas that soldiers should have sounded again on the school field.

Emperor Chongzhen was very serious. After watching the drill of all the soldiers from beginning to end, he felt that these people should be elite men. He felt happy and said to them: "Yes, I will give you one day to go back and form a corps on your own. The commander will decide on his own, and then stay in the palace of the guards. After expelling the Manchu army this time, I will select the best men in the army to reorganize the four guards and reorganize them into battalions. "

It turned out that all the officials in the army, big and small, had already been arrested, and the lowest rank of corporals was elected by themselves. This was the first time I heard of this method, which surprised the soldiers at the bottom, and at the same time, they became excited.

Whether to follow the strong and become one of them, or to be a chicken head to subdue other weaker people than themselves, will become the primary consideration of these soldiers.The subjective enthusiasm of the soldiers was instantly aroused.

After Emperor Chongzhen announced this purpose, he left the barracks soon.It takes a long time to check and pay the arrears here, and it is impossible for him to stay here all the time.But no matter what, coming to the barracks this time can be regarded as a preliminary solution to the bad things under the control of the Yumajian, and it has revived morale.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Chongzhen swiped a pen, and soon an imperial decree was made.It is to promote Liu Yuanbin and Lu Jiude, the middle supervisors of the Yongwei Battalion, to be the fourth rank, which is the same as the palm print eunuch, and they still serve as the supervisors of the Yongwei Battalion.In addition, Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, who had made great contributions to the suppression of thieves, were appointed as the acquaintances of the governor, and they were given silver coins and python clothes, and they will perform their meritorious service after returning to Beijing.

To do so, of course, is to follow the heart of the brave guard camp.

Such a big case happened in the Yumajian. All the eunuchs and generals from top to bottom were all arrested, and those who were beheaded were beheaded, and those who were convicted of crimes were judged. If the leader of the Yongwei camp heard such a thing, he had no idea. impossible.Therefore, it is necessary to issue this decree in time, so that the Yongwei Battalion can kill the enemy with peace of mind.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to affect the strength of the Yongwei Battalion just because Wang Zhixin and others were investigated.Of course, the decree issued at this time also has another meaning.

Even though the emperor was so strict with the Royal Horse Prison, he rewarded the Yongwei camp and treated them differently.Then what should you do when the brave guard finds out?Should we repay the emperor with a peach after he has given him a favor?Then in the next battle with the Manchu army, shouldn't we have to perform better?

Of course, this level of meaning cannot be explained clearly, and you are not an idiot over there, so you can naturally understand this level of meaning by yourself!
After Emperor Chongzhen sent out this imperial decree quickly, he received a memorial that made him unhappy.It is the memorial to Fang Fengnian, a minister of the cabinet, who resigned due to illness.

Yesterday, he had already received a memorial from Fang Fengnian to return home from old age, but he sent it back.

There are so many bad things going on everywhere these days, and all memorials must be approved by the cabinet ministers.Originally, there were only three assistant ministers after the chief assistant left the capital. How is it possible for you to abandon your business and want to leave at this time?

But now it's fine, it's okay to retire, it's okay to be sick, right?Fang Fengnian actually persevered, and made another memorial like this, so he insisted on not being an official and going home?
Emperor Chongzhen was not an idiot. He felt that he wanted to resign a little urgently, so he contacted the left and right, and then he faintly noticed it.

At that time, Xue Guoguan proposed to borrow money from the emperor's relatives, dignitaries, civil and military officials, and he was there every year.

When Xue Guoguan went to court in the morning, he proposed to add a mouth for eating to the royal family, nobles, civil and military officials. Fang Fengnian was also present and wanted to object.

This is actually a smaller version of what Xue Guoguan proposed before, but even so, there are still many people who oppose it.There was a lot of discussion and opposition in the morning, but it was very lively.If it were not decided that only officials of fifth rank and above should be appointed, and all officials should be treated differently, the stalemate would probably continue.

If it really came to the loan, what would happen?He is old and sophisticated, so he should be able to think of the coming storm!
Hehe, you are the top cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, but you don't have any responsibility. Is there really such a cheap thing?
Emperor Chongzhen sneered when he thought of this.Regarding the approval of this memorial to returning home due to illness, an imperial doctor was sent to see a doctor and at the same time to retain him.

Then, he sent the admiral of Dongchang to have an audience.

Cao Huachun slept all day, but after all, he is old and has not recovered yet.But when the emperor summoned him, he didn't dare to neglect, and rushed over immediately.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say much, and threw Fang Fengnian's two memorials to Cao Huachun to read, and then said to him: "Why is he so eager to resign from office, my companion should know it well. I am very dissatisfied with this kind of minister. There is no responsibility at all, do you understand?"

Cao Huachun naturally deduced the cause and effect at once. Hearing what the emperor said, he immediately echoed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

At this time, he had a vague suspicion in his mind as to why the emperor asked him to come over, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant.But on the surface, he didn't dare to show it.

"For this kind of irresponsible person, I don't believe that he is an official only for the people!" After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen stared at Cao Huachun with a cold voice and said, "You send someone to investigate him, and see if there is any corruption. I want to know the truth about the matter, no cover-up, no fabrication, and seek truth from facts, do you understand?"

This is indeed the case!Cao Huachun couldn't help crying after hearing this.This is contrary to his previous principles of life.After all, he used to live in harmony with foreign court officials, and everyone made a fortune together.But now, the emperor ordered him to start investigating the outer court, and he was also one of the most senior officials in the outer court.

He wanted to find a reason to refuse, but he didn't dare.The emperor clearly said that he wanted to investigate Fang Fengnian, but the reason was that Fang Fengnian did not take responsibility.If it wasn't for this, the emperor probably wouldn't have such an idea.If he finds a reason to refuse, the emperor will probably think that he is also the kind of person who has no responsibility.In this way, even if the emperor doesn't punish him, he will lose his holy favor, and the other eunuchs won't attack him together!
Thinking of this, he felt that he had no choice but to go on.
