I'm really not the carpenter emperor

As we all know, the turning point of the Beijing camp was Tumu Fortress. During the reign of Chongzhen, it was even more sluggish, and even the basic city defense could not be done.

Zhu Youxiao thought that it was only the 48th year of Wanli, and the Beijing camp should still have the power to fight, but at present, although it has not been completely corrupted, it still needs to form a new army.

After the Battle of Tumubao, the Beijing Camp suffered a devastating blow.

The situation in which the Xunqi family was in charge of the Beijing camp was completely changed, and the civilian officials of the Ministry of War began to take over the Beijing camp as military chiefs.

Jiajing, Wanli, etc. have all restructured the Beijing camp for this purpose.

During the Chenghua period, the frontier army was transferred to Beijing, and the three major battalions were changed into twelve regiment battalions. The elite frontier army was selected to fill the regiment battalion, and the military officials took over.

In the year of Zhengde, tens of thousands of frontiers were selected, two official offices were set up, and battalion officials were all selected as honorable ministers. These were the products of the royal family's attempt to regain control of the military power of the Beijing camp.

However, the reforms and changes had little effect. The real power of the Beijing camp was still in the hands of the powerful ministers of the Ministry of War. It was not until the Jiajing and Wanli years that the regiment camp and official office system were finally abolished.

After the Wanli reform, the command power of the Beijing camp was finally fixed and transferred to the hands of various forces—that is, honorable military officials, admirals and eunuchs, and assistant civil servants each got a share.

As the head of the relatives, the British Duke Zhang Weixian is the direct commander of the Beijing camp.

In addition, the Ministry of War sent a high-ranking official as the co-leader, and Ouchi also sent an eunuch as the admiral.

Since the civil servants co-led the Beijing camp, empty pay and corruption have become more and more serious.

Coupled with the separation of powers, Zhang Weixian, who is the direct commander, is also constrained everywhere. To avoid trouble, he simply stopped coming.

Jingying is located in the capital, and next to it is the wealthy and powerful elites of the capital, so they are often "invited" by these dignitaries to help build the mansion.

For Sun Juxiang, the Minister of the Ministry of War who has been sent to prison, things like "occupation" and "empty pay" are commonplace for him.

It is a tradition that the army sometimes assists with projects from the beginning of the Ming army, but it is generally for the country rather than private individuals.

Fortunately, some people have not participated in the drill all year round, but have transformed themselves into skilled craftsmen in the families of the powerful officials.

I don't know how Emperor Yong Le would feel if he showed his spirit and saw all his subordinates who swept Annan Saibei in the past change their majors to the engineering department.

After a short while, nearly 3 people stood in front of Zhu Youxiao. This is the [-] army that Sun Juxiang, the minister of the Ministry of War, reported to Emperor Taichang a few months ago.

But to be honest, the current Jingying Zhu Youxiao feels that there is still hope, and when he looks around, he is full of eager eyes.

Apparently, many people have heard about Emperor Tianqi personally coming down to the camp yesterday.

Zhu Youxiao walked up to the general platform step by step, and when the twelve selected big Han generals stood around, he said loudly:

"All of you are loyal ministers and generals of my Great Ming. I intend to rectify the capital camp, abolish the old and the weak, select the elite, and those who can stay. Naturally, everyone will have a reward!"

"Those who are judged as excellent will be rewarded more!"

"I am the emperor of Ming Dynasty, you can rest assured that the rewards I give will be fulfilled!"

Every time Zhu Youxiao yelled, the twelve big Han generals repeated it, and the loud voice kept echoing in the school grounds in the imperial city, and everyone became a little excited.

"When the rectification is completed, those who stay will get a share of their own land. With these lands, you can marry wives and have children in the capital, and spread your branches and leaves!"

"Your children will receive a good military education since they were young. They will not follow the old path you have traveled!"

With that said, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wang An and said calmly, "Proclaim the decree!"

Chapter 15 Nanhaizi Hunting

The eunuch Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the supervisor of ceremonies, took a few steps forward, spread out a golden scroll in the air, and said sharply: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict says:

From now on, the Beijing army will be rectified.Based on the old system of three battalions, the old and the weak were eliminated, the talents were selected, and the three battalions of bows, crossbows, short soldiers, and firearms were divided into three battalions for training.Give the name: Yongwei!This is it. "

The imperial decree has been issued, it seems that these are true, the emperor will really start to pay attention to us martial arts.

Everyone became excited and shouted in unison: "We are willing to fight to the death for His Majesty!"

Hearing these shouts, not only Zhu Youxiao felt very excited, but even Zhang Weixian, who hadn't been in charge of the business for a long time, almost shouted along with him.

However, he resolutely swallowed back the words that had come to his lips, and it wasn't until Zhu Youxiao took a look here that he became agitated, and quickly opened his mouth and shouted:

"Willing to fight to the death for His Majesty!"

Only then did Zhu Youxiao hum in satisfaction, and when the voice in the school field weakened, he suddenly said, "British Duke Zhang Weixian!"

"Chen is here!"

"You are in charge of the rectification of the Beijing army, my brave guard battalion, don't be a coward!"

Zhang Weixian hurriedly clasped his fists and shouted Zunzhi, but before he could say anything to show his loyalty, Zhu Youxiao said to himself again:

"Wang An, from today onwards, you will do the work of the admiral of the Beijing camp."

The latter was also very excited when he heard the news, knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed, and said repeatedly: "Your servant obeys the order and will definitely help the British Duke to build the brave guard camp!"

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to directly promote the four of them, Huang Degong, to serve as battalion officers of the Yongwei Battalion, but after thinking about it, he let go of this idea.

The reason why Huang Degong and others are famous generals in later generations is because they have excellent strength themselves, some are good at bravery, some are courageous, and some are well versed in military training.

Now Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan are still small soldiers, and Zhou Yuji and Liu Yuanbin are just guerrillas of the Beijing army. If they directly use the imperial power to promote them, they will backfire.

The road to growth must be walked by themselves.

……

When the court heard that Zhu Youxiao was not in court, he directly ordered to rectify the Beijing army, which caused a lot of trouble.

However, after learning about Wang An's admiral's supervision of the Beijing camp, the public opinion became a little weaker.

Of course, this was within Zhu Youxiao's expectations, so there was already a candidate to take the blame for this, and that was Wei Zhongxian, the secretary of rites and the admiral of the East Factory.

On this day, Zhu Youjiao was reading the memorials one by one in Xinuange, and Wei Zhongxian walked in cautiously from the door and said:

"My lord, the servants and servants have already prepared the hunting you mentioned last time, and the bows and horses are all in the horse prison."

"Okay, Zhongxian, I've been bored in the Nuan Pavilion for a long time, and I'm waiting for you to come!" Zhu Youxiao directly threw down the memorial in his hand, and said as he walked out:

"I'm tired of reading, you took the time to approve these memorials for me!"

Seeing that Zhu Youxiao went out first, Wei Zhongxian waved away the several Dongchang stalls who wanted to come forward to report the investigation, and followed out with a smile.

"Slaves accompany the emperor to hunt!"

Zhu Youxiao, who came to Dongnuange in military uniform, looked at Wei Zhongxian who followed him step by step, and suddenly asked, "Where is the best place for hunting in this imperial city?"

"Back to the emperor, it's Nanhaizi, where Emperor Chengzu often hunts." Wei Zhongxian bowed respectfully and said:

"As soon as the emperor said that he wanted to hunt, the slaves took it seriously, and asked the horse inspector to build a few new horse pens and fields in Nanhaizi, and also brought sweat horses from Mongolia, and bought precious carved bows!"

"It's just..." After saying this, Wei Zhongxian suddenly hesitated, as if he no longer dared to speak.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the precious carved bow, but he knew what he was thinking. He just looked like he was going to hunt happily, and asked without turning his head:

"Just what? Tell me quickly."

"It was just blocked by the official censor, saying that the servants took power without authorization, otherwise the hunting matter would have been prepared long ago." Wei Zhongxian said aggrievedly:

"The servants are doing things for the royal family, so it's not their own power."

"I know you are faithful."

Zhu Youxiao, who had put on his clothes, waved his hands, and said impatiently: "Which one is the censor who doesn't care about life and death, and I have to take care of hunting?"

"You did this according to my wishes, but they can't let them chew their tongues!"

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian smiled, and with confidence in his heart, he comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't think about these things anymore, those tongue-twisting officials and servants will not let them bother the Emperor anymore."

Zhu Youxiao didn't say a word, just put on his military uniform, which was his acquiescence.

"Your Majesty, let's go to Nanhaizi quickly. Since Emperor Chengzu, Daming hasn't had such a brave emperor for a long time."

Zhu Youxiao, who had put on the emperor's military uniform, laughed a few times and asked, "Zhongxian, how is my body compared to Jianlu outside the Great Wall?"

Wei Zhongxian quickly gave a thumbs up and applauded.

"Your Majesty, I don't know where the heroic warriors from outside the Great Wall have gone. How can a prisoner from outside the Great Wall have the qualifications to compete with you!"

Zhu Youxiao laughed out loud, and Longyan was delighted.

Before this hunting, Wei Zhongxian had already arranged everything properly. There might be thousands of people following Zhu Youxiao, and the battle was unprecedented.

In addition to the maids and eunuchs from the Sixth Bureau of the Twelve Supervisors, there were batches of factory guards. Jinyiwei was in the open, and the East Factory was in the dark. They were all doing their duty to protect Zhu Youxiao's safety.

It has to be said that Wei Zhongxian is quite capable.

The Admiral's East Factory has only been around for half a month, and the big house has turned into a completely different look.

One post at five steps, one post at ten steps is an exaggeration, but it is true that factory guards can be seen everywhere on patrol. Only in such an environment did Zhu Youxiao feel at ease.

It's just that what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that he just wanted to play hunting, and even the harem women came out together.

What Zhu Youxiao said was hunting, but Wei Zhongxian understood it as hunting. There is still an essential difference between the two.

There was nothing to do, the group of people who arrived at Nanhaizi had to camp on the spot.

Since the chief eunuch Wang An is currently working with Zhang Weixian to organize the Beijing camp, the eunuchs from the six bureaus of the twelve eunuchs also listened to Wei Zhongxian's dispatch.

The eunuchs and maids placed tables, chairs and decorations in the rest area, and some people took the fruits from the car to put them on the plate one by one. The factory guards camped on the spot and set up sentries. It was very lively.

Looking at the hot venue and the women in the harem who were walking and chatting, Zhu Youxiao was the only one who looked confused.

I just want to simply hunt, why is it so big?

But soon, Zhu Youxiao was relieved, and it didn't matter if it got bigger, if it spread to the ears of civil officials, it would reassure them and downplay the impact of the rectification of the Beijing camp.

Just hunting here for a few days without going back to the palace, it's not bad to have clean ears.

Just when he was familiar with the bow horse, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and saw two women sitting in the tent chatting, even if they were a little displeased.

Of these two people, one is Xi Lixuan, and the other is Concubine Zheng.

The two of them were the bright protagonists who prevented her from ascending the throne before, and Zhu Youxiao was like a thunderbolt.

However, Zhu Youxiao also knew that the two of them seemed to want to usurp power, but they were not the real masterminds.

Some people want to use them to gain prestige so that their party can increase their influence.

Who is not brushing this prestige?

Chapter No.16

This prestige, why not let me brush it up?

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao slowly approached the two women, and soon, they all noticed a figure pressing over, and their voices gradually became quieter.

"See the emperor." Although the two women were a little scared, they still saluted one after another.

"Exemption." Zhu Youxiao asked lightly with his hands behind his back, "Who called you here?"

Attendant Xi Lixuan and Concubine Zheng looked at each other and couldn't help lowering their heads, but no one dared to say anything first.

The emperor hunted and the palace accompanied him. This was the rule, and no one needed to call them to come. Zhu Youxiao asked this, obviously because he didn't want them to come.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "The two ladies are also worried about the emperor, so they have good intentions."

With his persuasion, many people could see Zhu Youxiao's increasingly displeased expression.

Standing still for a while, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "It seems that this hunting will not be interesting, what a bad luck!"

"Wei Zhongxian, next time you hunt carefully, don't bring anyone!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao drove away on his own, and a group of Jinyi guards went with him, leaving attendant Xi Lixuan and Concubine Zheng sitting there in a daze, at a loss for what to do.

The originally lively hunting broke up because of this incident.

Zheng Guifei and Xili Xuanshi were not in the mood to talk at all. At this moment, they just felt that the whispers around them were all saying that they were not holy and disturbed the hunt.

Embarrassing, really embarrassing and embarrassing.

After Zhu Youxiao left, Wei Zhongxian, who stayed where he was, shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, the hunting has been cancelled, so let's clean up everything that needs to be cleaned up!"

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly moved around.

Wei Zhongxian took half a step forward and said respectfully: "You two ladies, the emperor has returned to the palace, and the servants will follow. After all, the government affairs are so complicated that the emperor cannot handle it alone."

Calling herself a slave is a sign of status.

Concubine Zheng Gui was higher than Xi Li, and just about to speak, she saw Wei Zhongxian turned his head directly, got on his horse and left.

She put her hand in the air, put it down weakly for a moment, and sighed softly.

If I knew today, why was it in the first place!
