In fact, in Lin Jing's eyes at this time, the Ming Dynasty, which had been completely decayed, was as hopeless as his Beijing camp. The best way was to completely overthrow it from outside, then re-plan and go into battle lightly.
It's a pity that Lin Jing's identity determines that he cannot kill himself, so he can only drag the Ming Dynasty to survive, but this does not mean that he can continue to tolerate Jingying - in fact, he does not want Li Banghua to rectify
Jingying, but is responsible for the bankruptcy liquidation of the entire Jingying.
Only by reorganizing the few good assets left in the Jing camp, such as some soldiers who can still fight, and some military equipment that can still be used, reducing the number of establishments, and appointing outstanding generals, can we still get a fighting force.
army, and the money and food for the 120,000 Beijing camp troops originally on the books can be saved to train the new army.
A trace of disappointment flashed across Chongzhen's face, but it quickly disappeared. He pondered slightly: "Your Majesty, if we cancel the Beijing camp rashly, what will happen if an enemy invades during the process of retraining the new army?"
Lin Jing nodded slightly and said: "Father, Huang Degong and Zhou Yuji have arrived in the capital now, and my ministers have also given instructions on the new army of the Yuwei camp. In half a year at most, the new army will have initial combat strength, and in
Before this, on the one hand, the situation has not deteriorated further, and on the other hand, after the reduction of the capital camp, it is not too late to select an elite force of about 10,000 people to defend the capital."
Chongzhen sighed softly and said with some hesitation: "Although what you said is good, the Beijing camp is very involved. I'm afraid many people don't want to see me carry out such a drastic dismantling...
This has undoubtedly completely offended them, and there must be no chaos within the Ming Dynasty right now!"
Finally, Chongzhen expressed what he was most worried about. In fact, this is where the fundamental problem of Beijing Camp lies. Without solving the interest groups that are attached to Beijing Camp and sucking blood, other problems cannot be solved.
This interest group attached to the capital camp almost occupies the vast majority of the nobles in the entire capital, plus some officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs. They are usually led by nobles such as Zhu Chunchen, and they can be described as arrogant and domineering.
Lin Jing forced Zhu Chunchen to resign, finally opening a hole for the group, but it was not just removing one Zhu Chunchen, and the others below would not watch the Beijing camp being cancelled. They would definitely find a way before they perished.
Launch a counterattack.
Such as palace mutiny, such as the side of the Qing emperor.
Chongzhen thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "It is too radical to completely depose the Beijing camp rashly... Let's keep it first."
Lin Jing sighed in his heart. With all the intertwined interests in the Ming Dynasty, it was not easy to make some changes. Fortunately, he was not unprepared. Soon he threw out the first question.
Two plans.
"Let me tell you, my father, if you cannot directly abolish the capital camp, then you must show the appearance of severely rectifying the capital camp... Those people are not afraid of rectification. If they know that the imperial court is only rectifying, not
I am afraid that the abolition will be tolerated for the time being. This gives Li Banghua time to divide and disintegrate the Beijing camp first. When the opportunity is ripe in the future, he will directly separate the elite and abolish the remaining personnel...
"
"This is a good idea!"
Chongzhen nodded happily. He felt that the prince's thoughts seemed to have matured a lot, and he was paying more attention to the overall situation when considering the problem. He then continued: "In this case, we can start to do it after Li Banghua comes to the capital."
Lin Jing cupped his hands again and said: "I would like to inform my father, there is another matter that needs my father's decision."
"What's the matter?"
"Father, in the past Li Banghua reorganized the capital camp and offended many people. In the end, he resigned, but it caused quite a disturbance. Now that he has returned to the capital to reorganize, if there is no suitable position, just
I'm afraid that it will inevitably lead to attacks from some villains, and then it will be even more difficult to do things..."
Lin Jing said carefully that he was looking for an official position for Li Banghua. A talented and loyal minister like Li Banghua should be promoted to a high position.
Chongzhen frowned slightly. He was also quite disappointed with Li Banghua's resignation that year.
Regretful, there was also a faint hope in my heart that I could make up for Zi Waiping's feelings. When I remembered that Lin Jing had the same idea, Chongzhen couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.
He was very worried that the prince would collude with the ministers.
"Oh? What position do you think is more suitable for Li Banghua?"
Lin Jing had already thought about it and said decisively: "I think Li Banghua should join the cabinet."
"Join the cabinet?"
Chongzhen was not in a hurry to agree, he said softly: "Let me think about it again."
At present, except for Zhou Yanru, Zhang Sizhi, Wu Xing, Chen Yan and others, everyone else in the cabinet has basically gone home to eat old rice, so it is indeed time to select ministers to join the cabinet, but in Chongzhen's heart at this time, he
There are two people I am more optimistic about, namely Jiang Dejing and Huang Jingfang, and I really have not thought about letting Li Banghua join the cabinet.
Seeing that Chongzhen didn't agree immediately, Lin Jing had no choice but to resign. There was only so much he could do at the moment. If Chongzhen persisted in refusing to listen, then he had no better way.
After Lin Jing returned to the palace, Lin Zengzhi quickly came to see him excitedly.
"Your Highness, Yang Tinglin has already set off and will be coming to the capital soon!"
After hearing such good news, Lin Jing's originally a little disappointed mood was slightly cheered up, "When Boxiang comes, my prince's military camp will be in charge of someone... By the way, Shen Tingyang is recruiting soldiers.
How did things go?"
Not long ago, Lin Jing specially arranged for Lin Zengzhi to help Shen Tingyang and be responsible for recruiting soldiers. However, during this period of time, Shen Tingyang did not give a clear reply, so he could only ask Lin Zengzhi.
Lin Zengzhi said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, the recruitment of troops is going well. Ji Ming acted decisively and sharply. As soon as he arrived in Tianjin, he released the news of the recruitment of troops by His Royal Highness through various connections. In less than a day, there were
Thousands of people came to sign up, and in the end Ji Ming also selected the best among the best, and only 3,200 people were selected. If the recruitment was liberalized, there would be even more people."
Lin Jing smiled and said: "In the past two days, the capital camp has also been selecting soldiers. About five hundred people will be selected. Mr. Ren, you will have to work hard to keep an eye on this matter. At the moment, I have too few people around me. Some of them will be selected."
Things are really too busy—"
Lin Zengzhi immediately smiled and said: "Your Highness, there are actually a few people in the East Palace who can be used, such as Hu Shouheng, Yang Shicong, Huang Ying'en and Zhu Guozhao. They are also looking forward to serving for Your Highness!"
Indeed, at present, the ministers in the East Palace have been guarding an idle yamen on weekdays. They have neither oil nor power, nor even a chance to do anything. Now the prince has begun to reach out everywhere, and it is also true for the officials in the East Palace.
An opportunity to climb up, so when these officials in the East Palace saw that Wu Weiye, Xiang Yu, Lin Zengzhi and others were being reused, they began to hope for a chance to train one by one.
Lin Jing really ignored the thoughts of these people, but the more people who are willing to serve, the better. He laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, Mr. Ren, please bring them to the East Palace to see me.
I am so thirsty for talents!" This chapter has been completed!
