"The enemy troops suddenly arrived, and we still don't know where they are, what they are really like, and what they are up to. In my opinion, first of all, all the high-ranking generals such as the Grand Marshals and Jiedushi in the capital should be sent to the outer city immediately, and the elite of the imperial army should be selected, and the imperial guards should be sent to the city to calm people's hearts."
Cai Jing was at least calm. After all, he had gone through decades of ups and downs, and as a minister in a high position, his intelligence, courage, perseverance, and courage were far above ordinary people.
Even the emperor Zhao Ji was far behind.
The difference between the two sides was only in blood, not in ability.
The higher the position, the more they understood this. They did not have the same deification feeling towards the emperor as ordinary people, and it was even more impossible for them to directly prostrate themselves in awe.
A new emperor changed his ministers, which did not mean that the emperor was cold and indifferent, and the old ones must be replaced.
But the old people who were in high positions before, there is no way to show favor to them, and it is difficult to suppress them. They have been high officials for many years and their power is intertwined. If "103" is a capable official, or an honest official, or good at poetry, then in the scholar circle, not only will they have students and old officials, but also a huge power, and generally speaking, they will have a very good reputation. Even the emperor cannot act recklessly and deal with such old officials casually.
That is, there must be special reasons to take action.
And there must be support from new important officials.
For example, when Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi dealt with Zhangsun Wuji, he had to be ruthless. After all, Li Zhi's throne was fought for by his uncle, and Li Zhi could be said to be extremely jealous and unkind.
The second is to have support. At that time, Wu Zetian showed good political skills and received support from a group of new nobles in the court.
The third is that the Guanlong Group gradually declined after the founding of the country for decades. If it was at the founding of the country, even Li Shimin would not have attacked the Guanlong nobles at will, let alone Li Zhi.
With all these conditions added together, it was possible for Li Zhi to attack Zhangsun Wuji.
For general important officials, the new monarch would at most hint to the old officials to retire, and the general old officials would also know what to do and take the initiative to write a letter to beg for their bones to leave.
Then the emperor gave them honorary titles such as Bao and Fu, and gave them carriages. For example, in the Song Dynasty, important officials would be given the titles of Duke of the State and Palace Envoy. After retirement, they could also receive several salaries, and everyone was happy.
Old officials left their positions one after another, and the new monarch gradually promoted new people to take over.
The new people were originally small officials in the middle and lower levels, and they could move up step by step after being rewarded by the new monarch.
This is the process of granting favors.
At the same time, these ministers were originally minor officials, and of course they were extremely respectful of the majesty of the emperor. Unlike the previous important ministers, they regarded the new emperor as a younger generation and only respected his status and bloodline, but they might not agree with the new emperor's ability and ideas of governance, or they might not keep up with him.
A powerful minister like Cai Jing could not have any real respect for Zhao Ji in his heart.
Cai Jing certainly indulged in the appreciation of calligraphy and paintings, and the indulgence of the flower and stone gang. The corruption of the court atmosphere was also related to Cai Jing, the powerful minister.
But the root cause must still be Zhao Ji.
Zhang Dun's words that Prince Duan was frivolous and could not rule the world were really a wise saying.
How could Cai Jing not understand the reason?
At this time, offering advice to calm the situation, what was not said in public was to persuade Zhao Ji not to run away.
If he fled hastily with one or two hundred people, he would not know what was going on outside. The enemy soldiers could ambush more than a thousand cavalrymen and capture the emperor's family.
That would not only be a shame for the royal family, but also a shame for the Song Dynasty.
The country was lost so unclearly, and his death was more miserable than Shi Jingtang's!
Absolutely not!
"Also," Cai Jing said calmly, "It would be best to send His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to the inner city, and the princes to guard the gates of the outer city. It is not to ask the Crown Prince and the princes to lead the war personally, but to encourage the soldiers' morale. In addition, a sum of money and silk should be immediately allocated from the inner treasury to reward the soldiers who went up to the city."
At the end, Cai Jing also looked helpless.
The emperors of the Song Dynasty had no way to organize the imperial guards for various reasons, and civil officials such as Cai Jing were helpless.
In this regard, it can only be said that in order to maintain a delicate balance, the emperors of the Zhao family were lazier than each other.
Foreign enemies invaded and attacked the capital?
I never thought so far.
Even the Ming Dynasty was not as good as this.
After the Tumu Fortress Incident, the elite troops of the Ming army's Beijing camp were all lost, but later under the auspices of Yu Qian, the elite troops of the border army, Henan, Shandong and other places were transferred to the capital, and then the Ten Regiment Camp was formed with a number of about 100,000.
Because of the elite troops of the border army and the elite troops of the class drill army, the Ten Regiment Camp showed good combat after its formation and was a qualified Beijing camp army.
In terms of numbers, although it is far less than the 300,000 or 400,000 people at the peak of the three major camps, a combat-capable army of more than 100,000 people is enough to defend a majestic city like Beijing.
After that, the Ten Regiments Camp declined. During the reign of Emperor Wuzong, border generals were selected to join the Beijing Camp and changed to the East and West Official Halls.
Emperor Wuzong led his troops to the border to fight against the Tatars and won a great victory, indicating that the reform of the Beijing Camp was successful again.
During the Jiajing period, it was changed back to the three camps, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou and other good generals were selected to join the Beijing Camp for training. Later, Qi Jiguang was appointed as the general manager of training. According to Zhang Juzheng's idea, he wanted Qi Jiguang to reorganize the border troops of Jizhen, Datong, Xuanfu and other towns like the Qi Family Army. 0..
Then select the elite and re-select them into the Beijing Camp.
Zhang Juzheng also asked Emperor Wanli to review the elite troops of the Beijing Camp and held a large-scale military parade.
In Zhang Juzheng's era, Qi Jiguang presided over Jizhen, Yu Dayou was the deputy general of Shenjiying, Li Chengliang presided over Liaozhen, and Ma Fang was in Datong.
These brave generals and elite troops were spread all over the nine frontiers, suppressing the Tatars and Waqi tribes on the grasslands. Li Chengliang swept across Liaodong, beheading any Jurchen tribe who dared to show up. In more than ten years, he beheaded nearly 20,000 people. The court officials had to hold their noses and worship Li Chengliang as the Earl of Ningyuan. (To read the novel of Baoshuang, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
But the death of the man ended the politics. Wanli liquidated Zhang Juzheng, and also cleared Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang and others.
Only Li Chengliang, who was not too close to Zhang Juzheng, and Li's family servants were all far away in Liaodong, could Wanli let him go lightly.
As for Zhang Juzheng's re-considerationWanli naturally put the matter of reorganizing the Beijing camp aside.
During the reigns of Emperor Yingzong, Emperor Wuzong, and Emperor Jiajing, the Beijing camp was reorganized many times.
When Wanli neglected his duties and watched the decline of the Beijing camp without paying any attention, during the reigns of Emperor Tianqi and Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty's Beijing camp, which had once swept across the desert, was just like the imperial guards at the end of the Song Dynasty, with only a name and no combat power.
When Huang Taiji attacked Beijing, Chongzhen was desperate and summoned thousands of ruffians from the capital to garrison the city.
It was the same as Emperor Qinzong of Song using Guo Jing to summon thousands of six Ding and six Jia divine soldiers, but the former was funny and the latter was helpless.
At this time, Cai Jing's intention was also obvious.
The imperial guards and the squads were unusable and untrustworthy, and it was even more dangerous to escape from the city.
It is better to show determination and will, let the crown prince stay in the inner city, and the kings go to the outer city. Regardless of whether the imperial guards are available, let the generals lead the imperial guards to the city. With a strong city in hand, it is much safer than hundreds of people fleeing.
"You are right."
Zhao Ji did not have much confidence in escaping. Cai Jing's advice was a reassurance to him.
If there is a chance, he will still run.
I don't know why Zhao Ji and the Zhao family are so weak.
Zhao Da was also very brave. He made many military achievements under Chai Rong and rushed to the front many times. []
Zhao Er also dared to lead the army in person and declared war on Khitan.
As a result, his descendants are worse than the previous generation, and one nest is worse than the next.
It can only be said that bullying orphans and widows, gaining the country in an unjust way, and being born with deficiencies. .
