I'm really not the carpenter emperor

As he said that, Chen Ce's eyes slowly swept across the guards and generals, and he shouted loudly: "Are you going to act against the sky and be willing to be the cannon fodder for this traitor's rebellion?"

"Those who don't put down their swords and guns, kill them!"

As the last sentence fell, the cavalrymen of the Yongwei Battalion gathered around shouted loudly: "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The shouts that went straight into the sky completely defeated the last line of psychological defense of the guards.

A former general manager Qian was the first to throw down the goose-winged knife in his hand, and with the sound of "clang", more voices followed one after another.

"You, you..."

Li Hong watched the situation around Chen Ce calm down slowly, his voice was trembling, and then suddenly became violent, and he drove his horse towards Chen Ce.

The latter held the rein of the horse with one hand, but slowly aimed the gun at Li Hong who was running towards this side, and then there was a "bang"!

Li Hong fell off the horse in response, and a small blood hole appeared on his chest. Holding the bleeding wound, he still yelled:

"Chen Ce, you must die!"

"Remember what I said, that stupid king is not a good person, you know too much, he will kill you sooner or later!"

"I'll be waiting for you below, hahahaha!"

Chen Ce remained unmoved, ignoring the madness of the latter before he died, put away the pistol, turned around on the horse, and said coldly: "Tied!"

Then he came before the crowd and declared aloud:

"Look, Qian Lihong, the Commander of Shaanxi Province, has been greedy for military pay for many years, and there are many illegal activities during his tenure. I am benevolent, and I want to remove him from his official position to see the effect.

However, Li Hong's rebellion and rebellion are unforgivable crimes. He ordered Chen CE, the governor of the forbidden army, to kill him with Shang Fang's sword, and imprisoned the nine clans.

The generals and officers of the four guards in Xi'an and above are all regarded as Fu Li for rebellion, and all of them will be killed, leaving no one behind!

There are 33 guards under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, all of which are waiting for investigation, but those who resist and disobey will be regarded as rebellious with Li and punished together!

Those who cooperate with the investigation and appease the sergeants in the guard, even if they are found guilty of previous crimes, they can be lenient as appropriate and save their lives! "

Under a series of edicts, all the rebels in the surrounding guards were talking about it.

It turned out that the current emperor didn't intend to kill people directly at the beginning, but wanted to let go of the generals of the guards. It was their generals who conspired against the palace to force the palace, which caused such chaos.

Thinking of this, the soldiers of the guard even knelt down on the ground.

The military generals of the Four Guards in Xi'an were not convinced. They thought that it would be enough to just kill Li Hong, but when they heard the last few words, their faces changed.

The Yongwei Battalion stepped forward and arrested all the generals of the guards, regardless of their official positions, before the eyes of the guards, and executed them by shooting on the spot.

"Bang bang bang-!"

Following a series of loud bangs, flowers bloomed on the heads of more than forty generals of the Xi'an Four Guards, and the red and white ones flowed all over the ground.

At this time, a hundred-president of the brave guard camp stepped forward and asked: "Governor, there are more than 700 servants of these traitors, how should we deal with it?"

There was an imperceptible cruelty on Chen Ce's face, and said:

"Kill all of them, leave none."

……

The Xi'an mutiny was put down in less than a day.

This farce ended with the failure of Li Hong and other generals in Shaanxi Province. The emperor won an overall victory, and then suppressed the guard forces in Shaanxi that were about to move.

Five thousand pro-armies put down tens of thousands of rebellious troops in the guards, and the number of casualties was less than a hundred.

With this kind of record, the reputation of the Yongwei Battalion has risen, and it is the first time that Chen Ce, the veteran apocalyptic confidant general, has become known to the world.

This time, the emperor's method of dealing with the chaos in the guard was also known for his iron fist.

The four guards around Xi'an who participated in the rebellion, including the four commanders, generals with a total of one thousand or more, were all regarded as accomplices of the rebellion, and they were executed regardless of whether they participated in the rebellion or whether they had direct evidence.

Li Hong, who was the leader, was even implicated by the nine clans, killing more than 100 people in total.

This is not over yet, if the treatment of the Four Guards Generals of Xi'an is expected, the subsequent treatment of the more than 700 servants is really a bit bloody.

Under Chen Ce's order and Zhu Youxiao's acquiescence, more than 700 captured servants were all executed by the Yongwei Battalion in Xi'an.

That night, blood flowed like rivers in the city of Xi'an. Even though the rebellious soldiers had been wiped out, there were still not many people on the usually bustling streets.

The emperor's method of dealing with the rebellion by the generals in the guards was surprisingly tough. Those who participated in the mutiny this time, from the generals of the four guards in Xi'an to their respective servants, did not leave a single person alive.

From the Ming Dynasty to the present, there have been many mutinies that can be tested, but there has never been one that was dealt with so severely. It can be said that this time Zhu Youxiao almost killed all the generals of the four guards of Xi'an around him.

Incomplete calculations show that there must be at least 2000 generals, officers and soldiers who died during and after this mutiny.

Soon, news came out that Zhu Youxiao not only killed the Four Guards of Xi'an, but also took advantage of the power of this quelling of the mutiny to remove the Four Guards of Xi'an.

That's right, the Four Guards of Xi'an are gone just like that...!

When the news came out, it immediately shocked the civilian and military generals of the guards in other provinces.

But compared to them, the civil officials in Xi'an City were more panicked. Many of them took advantage of the fire to force the emperor to come when Li Hong and others jointly forced the palace.

Now that the guards have been pacified, it is obvious that the emperor is going to start dealing with them.

Compared with the military generals of the guards who still have the strength to fight, the civil servants are really sitting and waiting to die.

8 Fifty Chapters Shaanxi New Deal

"Didn't you all swear in the past, as if you were going to die at Chengtianmen? Why, are you all dumb now?"

"The Four Guards of Xi'an have been dismissed, and we are all people without official status."

Xi'an is avant-garde, defending the city.

The four guards of Xi'an are all set up in the Xi'an Mansion, and one guard has a full strength of more than [-] people, in order to have enough troops to surround the important town in the northwest.

Xi'an mutiny, the emperor abolished Xi'an Wei in a rage, that is to say, when the imperial decree arrived, the official uniforms they wore would no longer be useful.

By that time, they will all be mediocre people, ready to be slaughtered!

"Don't say such things here, aren't you the same?" A civil servant in the guard shook his head, "The emperor's decree has been issued, and even the mutiny has failed. Besides waiting for the decree, do you have any other options?" ?"

All the civil servants in the guard station sighed. The first person to speak was Song Yougeng, a military officer from Xi'an, Shaanxi. He sneered and sat back on his seat.

"Since things have come to this point, why don't we just stop doing it!"

"What do you want to do? Don't be stupid. Over the years, have the emperor hacked to death at Chengtianmen less troublemakers?" Another civil official said, obviously resigned to his fate.

The speaker was Wu Ji, a branch guard from Shaanxi.

In the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the governors, magistrates, prefectures, and county magistrates who were in charge of civil affairs, there were more low-level civil officials.

These low-level civil servants are in charge of the real power of the guards and even the government in various places.

In order to strengthen the centralization of power, Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Public Affairs and divided the country into twelve chief secretaries.

Among the provinces, the Commissioner for the Announcement of Political Affairs, the Division for Procuratorate, and the Division for Command and Control are respectively the highest administrative, judicial, and military institutions.

These three are equal in status and do not belong to each other.

In addition to the civil servants of the third division, there are more "Tao" in number.

In Shaanxi province alone, there are nearly 200 kinds of roads, such as patrol roads, guard roads, military preparation roads, food supervision roads, water conservancy roads...

Among them, the ones with the greatest authority belong to the Shou Dao, the Patrol Dao and the Bing Bei Dao.

During the reign of Chongzhen in the later generations, Bingbei Dao even played the role of dispatching troops and commanding operations instead of generals, and it was the characteristic of local military and political management in this era to unify military affairs with literature.

Generally speaking, the sub-patrols are concurrently held by the deputy envoys of the procuratorate or qianshi, whose main duties are to supervise and inspect the administration of officials and court cases in the prefectures, prefectures, and counties under their jurisdiction.

Fen Shou Dao was added by Zhu Di, Emperor Yongle, and included most of the functions of Fen Xun Dao.

Generally, the Chief Secretary will participate in politics, or serve as a counselor concurrently, and the division guards the grain storage, farming, military affairs, post transmission, water conservancy, and name-raising of the guards in the jurisdiction, ranking four grades.

Fen Xun Dao and Fen Shou Dao have been dispatched agencies since their establishment, and they are not permanent in the official system, but they have existed almost since the early Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the powers of various provinces and local officials such as magistrates and prefectures have always been confused, and both sides are very dissatisfied.

In general, the rights of the "low-level officials" are greater than that of the prefect and prefect, but the latter obviously has a higher political status.

As for Bing Bei Dao, its rights are even higher.

Now there is a very interesting phenomenon. When there is chaos in the local area, it is not the officers and soldiers of the guards who lead the troops to wipe out, but the soldiers.

The Bingbei Dao in the Ming Dynasty almost mastered all the powers of the military generals in the guards, and could supervise various important military functions such as military training, suppression of bandits, farmland, food and payment, etc. within the jurisdiction.

During the reign of Wu Zong, Chen Tianxiang, the Shaoqing of Taipusi, who was promoted to Tianjin military preparation, became the censor of Youqin Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, supervised the arrest of thieves, and trained the new army.

In other words, Emperor Wuzong promoted Tianjin Bingbeidao to the top of the military, even more powerful than the "commander" of a province.

Song Yougeng sneered, "Do you think I'm the same as those vulgar warriors? It's okay to kill scholars under Chengtianmen, but what about killing military households outside the gate of the guard?"

"Hey, it's a brilliant move!" Wu Ji, the guard of the branch, gave a thumbs up and his eyes lit up:

"The imperial court said it was for the benefit of the military households when it reorganized the guards. If military households were massacred in front of the guards, I'm afraid they would not be able to explain to the people of the world."

"I just don't know if His Majesty can give in..."

Song Yougeng filled a cup of tea for himself, and said with a smile:

"I didn't expect His Majesty to give in. I just need to cancel the decree to abolish the Four Guards in Xi'an. After the guards are abolished, the military households will have no food, so it's normal to make a fuss."

"You can rest assured that this matter will not be found out on us anyway. Even if the guards are really destroyed, the imperial court will not necessarily cancel the resident missions of various departments."

Hearing these words, the civil servants in the guard were relieved.

……

In the city of Xi'an, the original capital was the Yamen.

Zhu Youxiao put his hands on the table, looked at the eight-province joint performance, gritted his teeth and said, "Didn't they want to resign according to my order?"

"Anyone who signs and pledges on the memorial will be approved!"

Next, what Zhu Youxiao has to consider is how to settle the military households in the guard. You must know that there are at least 10,000+ military households under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division.

10,000+ households, that is tens of millions of military households.

If these people are not settled properly, a rebellion will sweep across the province in a blink of an eye. There is not much time, and it must be within a few days for them to see the results of the reforms brought about by the imperial court.

Ever since he arrived outside Xi'an, Zhu Youxiao has been thinking about implementing the New Deal in Shaanxi, and until now, he has almost thought about it.

So, he beckoned the secretary Qian who was accompanying the army to come forward and said:

"You have to memorize every word of what I'm going to say, if you make a mistake, get out of here immediately, and you will never be hired."

The clerk froze for a while, and hurriedly sat behind another table, picked up a brush, and waited meticulously, but he waited for a long time, but still did not see the emperor's words.

When he was hesitating whether to raise his head and take a look, Zhu Youxiao spoke.

"From now on, the new policy of the guards will be implemented in Shaanxi.

First, check all the 33 acres under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Guards and the army.

Those who invaded and occupied the military settlements of the guards were ordered to return the title deeds for less than [-] hectares, and an additional fine of half of the existing land and family property of the family was confiscated.

More than [-] hectares and less than [-] hectares, additional fines and confiscation of all land and all commercial shops.

More than [-] yuan, ransack the house!

After the land liquidation is completed, all military settlements will be designated as Huangzhuang land, and the number of military settlements obtained by each household will be re-divided according to the number of military households.

Second, abolish the hereditary system of military households in the guards under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, and allow the children of military households to freely choose to stay or stay.

The officers and soldiers who stayed in the guards checked their immediate family members and were sent to the local guards, where the imperial court gave silver and grain rewards on a monthly basis.

In addition, within seven years of Apocalypse, there will be follow-up welfare policies for joining the army.

The third is to crack down on false military registrations and drive the court officers and soldiers to perform private service.

Strictly order the department to send more people, according to the roster, one by one name is compared one by one, the East Factory Supervision Department in each place is responsible for supervising, and the officials who are not dedicated will be resigned.

For those who are found to have unrelated children of businessmen, military officers, officials and gentry, the salary over the years will be approved by the local government, and they will be sent to serve in the army.

Fourth, exempt all guards, offices, and military garrison taxes in Shaanxi for three years, and after three years, a fixed amount of five shi will be collected for each share of garrison land. "

Chapter 851 The Late Compensation

Nine out of ten of the military land allocated in the early Ming Dynasty had been divided up by generals of the guards, civil servants, and local tyrants. Even businessmen were willing to spend a lot of money to give their children military status.

This method of registering military status allows the children of their family to enjoy the benefits of being a regular soldier of the imperial court without having to go to the guard.

In addition, the generals of the guards concealed the report, so the Ministry of War will never know how many people there are in the huge guard army of the Ming Dynasty.
