Chapter 8 Rectification Movement (1)
Chapter 8 Rectification Movement (I)
After Zhang Yan gave birth, she was not in good spirits. Zhu Yinglong just talked with her and then stepped out, let the pregnant woman have a good rest, and told Li Qing to stay in Xiaohonglou and take care of him on his behalf. He had to leave for the time being. He was not so leisurely next time.
Before Zhu Yinglong could return to the palace from Xiaohonglou, Sun Chengzong hurried into the palace with Xiong Tingbi and Zhang Guowei, saying that there was an emergency military report.
Although Zhu Yinglong didn't close his eyes all night and was a little tired, he still cheered up and saw three anxious people in the study of Yangxin Palace.
"Your Majesty, I received the news that since three days ago, Zuo Liangyu secretly summoned officers above the regiment. Then the troops had a secret change of defense, but the one submitted to the Military Machinery Pavilion wrote about a normal change of defense, but such a intensive change of defense in the border area would not have happened. The old minister speculated that Zuo Liangyu would not be a good thing to transfer defenses without hiding the court?" Sun Chengzong said worriedly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the Wuhan Military Region is located in the heart of the Central Plains, and there is no need for such frequent defense transfers. I don't think this is a normal military defense change. With such a big action, Zuo Liangyu did not pass the Military Machine Pavilion at all. He is so good at making a decision, which is obviously a ill-behavior!" Xiong Tingbi also said to himself.
"The left-wing military discipline is a scattered. I guess if Zuo Liangyu wants to rectify the military discipline?" Although Zhang Guowei also showed a hint of worry on his face, he still helped Zuo Liangyu get rid of it.
It is no secret that the relationship between Zuo Liangyu and Zhang Guowei is in the court, so it is not surprising that Zhang Guowei helps Zuo Liangyu speak. Everyone knows that the emperor still values Zuo Liangyu, but Zuo Liangyu himself is a little eager to seek official positions, but the emperor dislikes this kind of person the most. Therefore, although Zuo Liangyu is also considered a general, he can only dry it and take a closer look.
Without receiving the exact news, Zhu Yinglong did not intend to announce the truth of the matter. Zuo Liangyu was instructed by him. The purpose of mobilizing the army was to arrest the aristocratic and royal noble officials who were preparing to launch civil unrest. I believe that the major event had been decided at this time and the news was on the way to pass on it.
"Okay, three dear friends, I already know the matter. I will give Zuo Liangyu a strict order to ask him, let's see how he explains it, how?" Zhu Yinglong coughed a few times.
"Can the other six military regions be issued with the Pavilion Order so that they can closely monitor the left headquarters?" Sun Chengzong said.
"Accurate." Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment, but still agreed to Sun Chengzong's request, not afraid of ten thousand, but fear of what if.
"Old minister obeys the order!" Sun Chengzong bowed.
Next, Zhu Yinglong asked a few questions about the progress of the negotiations between Chahar Mongolia and the Later Jin Dynasty. There was basically no big change. He just fought and stopped, and he thought it was the Three Kingdoms training.
After establishing a concession in Qingcheng and stationing nearly 1,000 Ming troops, the entire special zone accounted for about one-quarter of Qingcheng and became the best area for public security in Qingcheng. As the Ming Dynasty merchants continued to pour into the concession, the concession underwent earth-shaking changes in three months, with shops and merchants constantly traveling. Various exquisite goods in the Ming Dynasty attracted countless Mongolian nobles. The merchants of the Ming Dynasty even opened brothels and gambling houses into the concession. As soon as the beauties of the southern country arrived in Qingcheng, they caused a huge sensation. Wu's soft words and tenderness made countless Mongolian noble men flock to them and became ministers under their skirts.
The rich and comfortable life gradually corrodes the rebellious hearts of the Mongolian nobles. They are gradually sinking into enjoyment. I am afraid that they will be allowed to use guns to get on the horse, and they are unwilling to point the tip of the gun at the Ming Dynasty, which brings them supreme enjoyment.
Zhu Yinglong always insisted on corrupting the means of winning over the Mongolian nobles. If he was really disobedient, he would evaporate from the world. However, for the lower class people, he was attracted by relevant beautiful policies. As long as they could bring them tangible benefits, I believe that these poor and low-level Mongolian herders who were used to poverty knew who to follow.
Although Elinchen had 30,000 Mongolian cavalry under his command, the training of officers would be carried out by the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to brainwash these people and give them quite high treatment, so that they could be focused on the Ming Dynasty. Such an army would gradually become the same as the Ming Dynasty. Elinchen was not a generation of heroes. As long as he knew how to judge the situation, it was only a matter of time before the two Mongolians, Tumote and Ordos Mongolia, were merged into the Ming Dynasty.
After taking a nap for a while, he got up and walked to the harem, visited the family, and with a good mood, Zhu Yinglong returned to the Palace of Harmony.
Yanhong had already brewed tea and waited. The thirsty Zhu Yinglong drank a cup of cow and felt relieved physically and mentally, and immediately devoted himself to the busy government work.
The list of amnesty has been drafted, but it has not been handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Most of the list are female death row prisoners. The feudal law is too strict for women, such as adultery and stealing cases. This is moral condemnation in later generations. This kind of thing that is unwilling to do is to destroy other people's families. But if you slap it, you can't think of it. If you want to commit adultery, a man can at most tattoo his forehead and slap it a few times, but it's different for women.
That is a serious crime to be beheaded. This obviously frank law of a man is really undesirable. Of course, this is also related to the current social status of women. Zhu Yinglong does not want to do such thankless things. The improvement of a woman's social status will only be achieved through a long social evolution. The Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point where quantitative change causes qualitative change. Moreover, Zhu Yinglong himself also knows that his energy is limited and cannot be covered in everything. Therefore, he can do as much as he can, and the road still depends on future generations.
"Oh, these women are pitiful enough. I am thanking the emperor on their behalf." Yanhong, who had read the list, leaned obediently on the side of Zhu Yinglong and said gratefully.
"In fact, in some ways, this is also a kind of incompetence of the husband. Although their behavior is a bit misconduct and has ruined the atmosphere, they will not die. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person. I am leaving their lives behind, which is also a kind of accumulation of virtue and doing good deeds." Zhu Yinglong smiled.
"Although these women were pardoned by the court for their death sentence, they may not be accepted by their husbands and family after being released from prison, and their lives may not be better in the future." Yanhong shook her head and said.
"Yes, I have forgotten this funeral. Yanhong, thanks to you reminded me." Zhu Yinglong's eyes lit up, "If a woman in this situation is willing to go home, her husband and family will accept it, the court should redeem it. If she doesn't want to, the court cannot ignore their life or death. Since I pardoned them, I can make them live like a person!"
"What is the emperor planning to help them?" Yanhong asked in surprise.
Zhu Yinglong smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in the future." Most of these women are pretty. Apart from those who are truly aquatic, if they are carefully cultivated, they can develop in multiple fields and use their talents to bring unexpected gains to the court.
This is the Meihua Inner Guard, who became famous all over the world in the future. However, no one expected that these beautiful agents and spies who were omnipresent and engaged in countries around the world were actually composed of a group of female death row prisoners. Not only in military and commercial terms, as long as they provoke such a group of beautiful women, all ended in a crushing defeat. The Meihua Inner Guard also continued the tradition of selecting members among female death row prisoners.
Since its establishment, the Plum Blossom Inner Guard has been high-standard and high-level. Because this was originally a time when Zhu Yinglong was unintentionally planting willows, he decided to build a beautiful agent spy. The only one who was proficient in this was the concubine Lin Rong. So after carefully selected candidates, he concentrated on training under Lin Rong. After Lin Rong had experienced such training, he naturally had to be at ease when training people. In addition, she was determined to please Zhu Yinglong, so she was naturally extra strict and attentive, because everyone knew that women sometimes were much more useful than men.
The former two major intelligence organizations under Zhu Yinglong, the Military Machinery Pavilion Intelligence Department, and the former Shadow members were mostly men. Even if they were used in women, they were used temporarily. There was no systematic training process. In Lin Rong's opinion, the Eagle Guard was mainly eunuchs. They were not very normal people. Therefore, the Eagle Guard would not exist for too long. Once Li Yongzhen died, the dragons had no heads, and they were facing disbandment or merger. Therefore, in order to balance, another intelligence agency would inevitably appear, and the Plum Blossom Inner Guard came into being.
At the beginning of the establishment of the Plum Blossom Inner Guard, there was no unified name. Lin Rong knew very well that Zhu Yinglong hated the name "Ninja". In order to facilitate the management of these female members of the inner guard, and to facilitate the identification and connection after dispatch, hence a purple plum blossom tattoo on everyone's most private private parts. Any woman with purple plum blossom tattoo can be regarded as a core member. Moreover, members of the Plum Blossom Inner Guard must not be a virgin before becoming an inner guard. Any woman with a virgin must not be selected as an inner guard. This is also a plum Blossom Inner Guard.
