The emperor got a wife!

This news spread like crazy throughout the entire city of Beijing in an instant, and was sung everywhere in the streets and alleys. The three aunts and six women, the young scholars, and the street coolies were all surprised. When it was later spread, it became that as long as he joined the army, the emperor would

Give me a wife. Therefore, when the Yulin Army recruitment sign was put up again, the whole city was shocked, and young people gathered around like crazy.

For the people at the bottom, there are almost no opportunities to get ahead without studying. They must either farm for a lifetime, sell themselves as slaves, or become apprentices. This recruitment is the third time for the Habayashi Army, and its name also follows Benimaru.

Various rumors about the coup have become a household name. The emperor's guards are the same as the royal guards. This is the most intuitive concept for ordinary people.

Therefore, when recruiting soldiers, any young people who had some ideas would go over and take a chance. They all thought of Zhang Ya, Xie Gao, Li Tu, Xu Wen and other descendants of tenant farmers and butchers, and gain a good background. Of course

, how much of this is due to the marriage granted by the palace maid is unknown.

In short, the recruiting office of the Yulin Army was recruiting troops again and it was very busy. The queue was like a long queue, waiting for several rounds. The total number of recruits this time was 20,000. Counting the previous ones, it was a full 30,000. Most of them were from the capital.

The quota of more than 20,000 people almost wiped out all the well-qualified young people in the capital. This was also the last time Zhu Youxiao recruited soldiers in the capital.

It is worth mentioning that this recruitment also included many children from the guards, as well as some young people who obviously came from big families. They lined up alone at the recruitment office to join the army. Faced with Zhu Youxiao's toughness, some people

Just as some people choose to resist, others choose to rely on them.

Compared with the enthusiasm and excitement among the people, the officialdom of the entire capital is filled with an indescribable heaviness. In the past, the emperors ascended the throne in accordance with the legal system. Now, a Zhu Youxiao suddenly appeared. After a burst of mutiny, the emperor was rolling in

Human heads, almost no one ascended the throne in the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

The lingering smell of blood and Zhu Youxiao's tough style brought a strange atmosphere to Ming Dynasty's lifeless officialdom that only focused on party strife, making it almost impossible for them to adapt.

The influence of the Red Pill Coup is still continuing. Although the emperor intends to accept it because of Fang Congzhe's persuasion, some people with ulterior motives and deep connections with the Donglin Party are still uneasy. Although the resignation document is not like a snowflake, it is still uneasy.

It formed a small mountain.

For such people, Zhu Youxiao has always looked for them. In today's Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to find someone who is proficient in studying things and miscellaneous studies. However, there are indeed a lot of people who want to be officials, not to mention those who are waiting for replacement officials.

There is a long queue for Jinshi in the Hanlin Academy alone. A group of Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli happened to be watching the government, and now they are almost up to their expiration date.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not worried at all that the court would have no one to deal with when people left. Anyone who wanted to leave would be allowed without hesitation. As for the people who stayed, they were completely different from those who left. It could even be said that they were completely different.

His diligent attitude and dedicated performance make him a model worker.

These are relatively young people with great ideas. From Zhu Youxiao's series of big moves and different acting styles, they smell a different atmosphere. Big turmoil also means big opportunities, and the cabinet position is still vacant.

Now, I am still young and can still serve the emperor for many more years.

Various similar thoughts swirled in their minds, driving them to work hard and perform actively. Zhu Youxiao had a clear view of their thoughts and intentions through the Dongchang Intelligence Organization, which was already on the right track and in operation. Chu.

Just when the officials in the capital were feeling anxious and wondering what the big changes brought back by Fang Congzhe were, an edict suddenly came from the Qianqing Palace and appeared in front of everyone. This edict did not go through the cabinet, so it can only be said to be the official edict. It is not a formal imperial edict, and civil servants can refute it or even refuse to implement it.

But when the decree was directed at the military attachés, no military commander dared to hesitate at all in the face of the emperor's central decree, but immediately began to implement it.

This imperial edict did not use gorgeous rhetoric. The words were very straightforward and clear. It was only slightly polished by Liu Ruoyu, changing from spoken language to written language. The words could be modified, but the tone and attitude inside could not be concealed. The simple and straightforward words made the emperor The anger and worry are undoubtedly highlighted.

The whole purpose is very simple. It is nothing more than to support the Four Guards of Tengxiang and the Sixteenth Guards to accept the favor of the emperor. However, his position wavered and he rebelled. He has raised soldiers for two hundred years. He has not fought to quell the rebellion. He is very good at rebellion and rebellion. The Emperor Very disappointed, the country is very disappointed. The fierce wording of the imperial edict made the generals who received the edict break out in sweat instantly.

Since there is no such thing, of course it is to be abolished. The Sixteenth Guards of Shangzhi were abolished, and some of the guard posts surrounding the capital and even Beizhili that guarded the imperial capital were all abolished. This turmoil even implicated the three major battalions. Due to the inconsistency of the three major battalions, As a result, the emperor also issued an imperial edict to Sun Chengzong, the newly appointed minister of the Ministry of War and the assistant manager of the Beijing camp, to eliminate the old and weak, streamline the establishment, and reorganize the new army.

As soon as such a big move is carried out, everything will go crazy. Reducing the military establishment has always been a relatively dangerous activity. If it is not done well, mutiny will occur, so other armies are usually required to suppress it. The Habayashi Army is doing its best. There is no time to train new soldiers and expand the establishment.

Therefore, this task fell to the 10,000 horses selected from the Tengxiang Four Guards, Four Guards Camp, Warrior Camp and other imperial horse prison troops after reorganization by Qi Jin and Yu Zigao. The most capable of these forbidden troops were Although all those were lost on the night of Benimaru's coup, the remaining ones still have the strength to fight. What's more, these are selected. Loyalty can guarantee strength. After being equipped with weapons, although they can't defeat the Habayashi Army, they can bully them. It's okay to bully the three major camps and the corrupted guards.

At this moment, the activity of dismantling the guard posts presided over by Qi Jin was launched with great vigor. At the same time, Yu Zigao led 3,000 people and cooperated with Sun Chengzong to also start the streamlining activities of the three major battalions. The people were enthusiastic about recruiting, and the army was excited. The layoffs and the noisy atmosphere made the last month of the forty-eighth year of Wanli full of the flavor of the military revolution, and also added a murderous spirit to this new year.

The guards own the fields, and the three major battalions have fixed salaries. Similarly, there are also the generals of the guards who have occupied the fields of military households, and the generals of the three major battalions who have taken advantage of their salaries. Whether they are at the upper or middle levels, or even in the army, they have thousands of connections. Almost all of the nobles with whom they were connected were opposed. However, under the righteousness of the rebellion, all objections and excuses were so pale.

Although the Red Pill Coup made Zhu Youxiao's ascension to the throne full of twists and turns, after overcoming the tribulations, Zhu Youxiao had a good starting card. Waving this flag, he was almost invincible.

Zhu Youxiao was very wise. He took over all the land in the guard station as an imperial village, and then promised that it would also be distributed to the military households who had become farmers for farming, and like other imperial villages, it would be rent-free. The imperial village would be free of charge.

The good news of renting a piece of land has long been spread among the tenants.

In the past, the tenants of big families and landlords would take pleasure in the misfortunes of the tenants of Huangzhuang. Compared with the bullied tenants of Huangzhuang, their lives were much easier. The owners still took good care of them, not as much as those who managed Huangzhuang.

The eunuchs only know how to steal.

However, as soon as the news about the free rent spread, the eyes of other tenants turned red, and all kinds of emotions of envy, jealousy and hatred surged in their hearts, and the news about the free rent spread instantly.

The military households in the guard station also heard about it, but they only heard about it. They would only praise the emperor for his kindness and generosity, and that he was a holy king, but they never expected that such a good thing would happen to them. The cruel life had made them numb.

Even desperate.

Therefore, when such a big weapon as rent-free comes out, it is really invincible. Wherever Qi Jin comes, the enemy will come down. No one guard can make a storm. The few servants raised by the master of the guard are selected by Qi Jin.

After training, I couldn't get hard at all, and I couldn't even make waves.

Even before he arrived, some military households stole the roster information of the guard station and came to offer soil, hoping that the emperor's mercy would spread to him as soon as possible. In this case, in addition to the expansion of the imperial village managed by Zhou Quan,

, without any other changes.

The defense camp went so smoothly, let alone the Beijing camp. Sun Chengzong took office for more than two months not in vain. As his imperial master, no one in the three camps dared to resist. In addition, the threat of the Hongwan coup was

, Sun Chengzong easily attracted a group of frustrated middle- and lower-level people, and in cooperation with the 3,000 people brought by Yu Zigao, he systematically launched an operation to streamline personnel and clear vacancies.

The three major camps in the capital have developed to the present. Although the organization has changed several times, and almost every emperor has performed operations on it in an attempt to save the glory of the three major camps, however, the three camp heads are still in unstoppable decline and decay. The three major camps have continued to decay.

It is said that there are 300,000, but the number of vacancies is unknown, and the officials in charge in the past have never figured it out.

From the top to the bottom, almost everyone is living on empty wages. The generals drink blood from the soldiers one level at a time, while the soldiers at the bottom go to work outside and hire people to temporarily hire people to make up for the drills. The disadvantages during this period are simply indescribable.

, otherwise Chongzhen would not have engaged in any castration exercises.

Every year, hundreds of thousands or even millions of military pay and supplies go to who knows who's pockets. More than ten days later, when the results of the downsizing and layoffs of the so-called 300,000-yuan Beijing camp were reported to Zhu You's office, he was shocked.

They actually carefully selected 15,000 available soldiers.

This is still the result of relaxing the standards. If the selection standards of the Habayashi Army are used, only about two thousand people can be left at most. The three battalions that defend the safety of the capital actually say this, which is really shocking and distressing.

Around the end of the New Year, with one day left until the Little New Year, the dismantling and reorganization of the guard station and the Beijing camp also came to an end. A total of 20,000 useful soldiers were selected from the two, and these soldiers were all under thirty.

Young people can still become talented through rigorous training.

The 20,000 horses were combined with the 10,000 imprisoned troops on horseback to form one army, named the Capital City Defense Army. With Qi Jin as the chief general, they were stationed in the camps of the original three battalions and took over the entire capital's city defense security.
