Chapter 89 Great Reform of Military Power in the Capital City
Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo were both heavyweights involved in the rebellion planning.
One directly led troops into the palace, and also joined Zhu Youjian, ready to stand ready to welcome Youjian's younger brother to the throne.
The other is Donglin's peripheral heavyweight ally. He has done a lot to attack Zheng Yangxing and criticize Zheng Guifei.
But did they actually rebel?
One participated, but after investigation and interrogation, the other actually did not participate.
Zhu Chunchen has never dared to take action against anyone who belongs to the East Palace except Lao Immortal. That would be a rebellion.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao actually did not intend to stay for a long time at all, especially since in history, he had tied Zhu Cixiang to welcome Li Zicheng, failed to persuade Li Zicheng to ascend the throne, and welcomed him with whips, sticks, and house confiscation packages.
In fact, keeping this person is a disaster.
On the other hand, Zhou Jiamo was exploited by Wang Wenyan, Liu Yijing and others of Donglin. After the rebellion actually broke out, he immediately went home and hid after leaving the palace. He did not participate in the rebellion, nor did he make any effort to stop it. It was also a kind of wall-riding, but he did not
Direct rebellion.
Then it depends on his performance and value to decide how to arrange it.
Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo officially became a family-copying team, one copying civil servants and the other copying military generals.
Among the list of planned house raids, there are three civil servants with the rank of Shangshu. In addition, there are the Fei Cha Wen Selection Department, which is responsible for the appointment of officials, the City Patrol Censor of the Jingcheng Prefecture, and the Shuntian Prefecture, all of which are fat and oily yamen.
There are dozens of registered officials, as well as nearly a thousand imperial students and scholars. After the house was confiscated, the silver and land obtained were involved in the rebellion. Whoever dared to enrich their own pockets, including Zhu Chunchen, who had a guilty conscience, would definitely be the one who ransacked the house and added more.
Results.
The general is fatter here.
The Zheng Yangxing family were the richest relatives in the Wanli Dynasty. In the most stable and prosperous Wanli Dynasty, they embezzled a lot of land and silver, and the wealth they confiscated was estimated to be extremely exaggerated. Even if Zheng Guifei was "loyal to the country", it would not be possible to turn the Zheng family around
The fate of having your home confiscated.
As an old enemy, Zhou Jiamo cannot be merciful and will definitely come up with start-up funds for the implementation of the New Deal in the future.
There were also a group of generals from the Beijing camp who had entered the palace. They were all captured, and each family estimated that they were at least hundreds of thousands taels.
Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has also been greedy for decades. He and his men had hundreds of people who owned houses and fields, and they all ransacked their homes.
There are thousands of other small fish and shrimps involved. Maybe we will consider lenient treatment later, but it is a necessary process to check the property first.
Zhu Youxiao had already made up his mind that Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo had committed meritorious deeds and did not dare to embezzle anything.
If a house is raided like this, there may be tens of millions of taels of silver and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland.
It will definitely exceed the scale of He Shen's house raids in history. After all, there are so many people, and they can be implicated in rebellion.
It smells so good~
Zhu Youxiao was looking forward to it. Looking at Zhu Chunchen and Zhou Jiamo who were loyal and eager to try, he knew that this matter was done~
"There will be money, there will be land, there will be everything."
He is very confident, and after this rebellion, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Jingying, Xucheng Yushi and Shuntian Mansion will all be reformed. After participating in the rebellion, there is no reason to stop himself from starting reforms.
The Ming Emperor is easily soluble in water...after this rebellion, it will no longer be possible~
"Seizing homes and punishing people is only one aspect. On the other hand, we need to replace personnel and reform bad policies to avoid repeating the same mistakes."
He did not end the situation himself, but instead offered advice to see what important ministers had to suggest.
Huang Kezuan, the Minister of Punishment, has always been very reliable during the rebellion. He traveled to Qianqing Palace, Cining Palace, Dong'an Gate, and Xuanwu Gate to stabilize the morale of the army and stop the rebels.
He was the first to propose: "I see that the Beijing camp is not good at fighting, and some generals are involved in the rebellion. The Beijing camp must be reorganized and trained."
"Okay, but the Beijing camp is just reorganized. Not changing the personnel is equivalent to changing the soup without changing the medicine. It is probably still weak and mixed with disloyalty. How do you think the chief minister should deal with it?"
Zhu Youxiao and Huang Kezuan looked at each other. It took nearly a day and a half from the quelling of the rebellion to today's morning meeting, and the monarch, ministers, teachers and students had already conceived it.
Huang Kezuan seemed to have suddenly thought of a good idea: "... I have discovered something. Yesterday at dawn, the white pole soldiers under General Shizhu Qin Liangyu were brave and fearless. They captured the rebel cavalry of Xuanfu in just one stick of incense. I have discovered something. I think this strong army can be incorporated into the new Beijing camp."
This proposal actually challenges the military power and military structure of the capital.
Normally it would be impossible to pass.
There are very few people who have been able to achieve this in history. Recently, Emperor Zhengde used the nine-sided strong army to rotate with the Beijing camp, which indeed strengthened the military power and combat power of the Beijing camp, but later it also fell into trouble and there was no successor, and there was no successor. .
Zhu Youxiao also wants to do it.
But I won’t fall into the water again~
Those who are not direct descendants in the palace, including Concubine Zheng and her direct descendants, all served the country early yesterday morning.
He looked at Zhang Weixian: "What does the British public think?"
Zhang Weixian swallowed his saliva, hesitated for only a quarter of a breath, and replied loudly: "I think it is okay, the Beijing camp is really unable to fight, and the power of the Beijing camp can no longer be left to the veteran Wu Xun and I." In the hands of civil servants."
Everyone thinks the first half of the sentence is acceptable. It is reasonable to add some strong foreign troops to the Beijing camp.
But the second half of the sentence almost caused an uproar.
The British government wants to hand over the power of the Beijing camp!?
Do you want to hand over the rights of other military officers and civil servants to the Beijing camp? Isn’t this true?
Zhang Weixian did not give other ministers a chance to intervene and objected, and said quickly: "There was a rebellion this time, and many generals in the capital camp were involved. All the military officers and civilian officials in charge of the capital camp have seriously neglected their duties. Your Highness does not think it is appropriate not to punish the ministers, and of course it is more
You can’t let me wait to take charge of Jingying!”
The first martial artist of the Ming Dynasty took the lead to express his position, and others such as Xue Lian, the Marquis of Yangwu, Guo Yingqi, the Marquis of Wuding, Sun Chengyin, the Marquis of Huaining, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, Li Chengzuo, the Marquis of Fengcheng, Cao Yizhong, the Fengrun Bo, and Liu Si, the Bo Guangning, did not know what to do.<
/p>
Of course I don’t want to hand over the rights in the Beijing camp, but I don’t have much military power in the Beijing camp?
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Chunchen: "Gong Chengguo, are you willing?"
"I am willing! I challenged the traitors to fight to the death yesterday, but the rebellion in the capital camp interfered with it and almost led to a dangerous situation. In addition, I am responsible for investigating the rebellion and ransacking my home to investigate the crimes. I have my own responsibilities. I really should not continue to be in charge of the capital camp!" p>
His tone was extremely sincere, and he had the power to preside over the property raids of civil servants in the capital camp. There was indeed a certain risk. If there were soldiers, money and land, it would not be good if the tail was too big.
Therefore, when he handed over military power, he seemed particularly loyal and reasonable.
The Duke of England and Duke Cheng have expressed their opinions. Which other military honors have opinions?
"I support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to supervise the country. The capital is corrupt and some are disloyal. It must be changed."
Where are the civil servants?
Huang Jiashan, the Minister of War, and Huang Kezuan, who assisted in managing the Beijing camp, both nodded in agreement.
In addition, Yang Lian, who has the right to speak, is not present because he is unconscious, so let's take it as acquiescence~
