Mingyufang and Jiqingfang are both to the west of the imperial city.
In Mingyufang, there lived a bunch of princes, and some wealthy businessmen also settled there. These wealthy merchants were all from Jiangnan, and they were all forced to move north by Zhu Di. Now they have all been blown away, and some houses have been converted into restaurants and royal shops.
The house became the private residence of the general, including Jiang Bin's house.
In Jiqingfang, most of them are official institutions. The warehouses of the internal and external imperial courts, many yamen of the Imperial Guard, the headquarters of the Royal Horse Supervisor, the headquarters of the Imperial Supervisor, the headquarters of the Divine Palace Supervisor... and even the imperial imperial office (a branch of the imperial imperial office) are all there.
It was arranged in Jiqingfang.
Nowadays, all the few ordinary people in Jiqingfang were expelled by the imperial court, demolished and rebuilt into Yizi Mansion (also known as Yizi Mansion). At the same time, Taipingcang and its surrounding areas were changed into Zhenguo Mansion and became the frontier army
The military camp is convenient for training at the Leopard Fang Campus (Inner Campus).
These newly built imperial restaurants, frontier army barracks, and various Yizi mansions are all under Jiang Bin's jurisdiction!
With such power, Jiang Bin has become the hegemon of Xicheng, and all the nobles and nobles obey him. Those border soldiers never pay for their enjoyment in Xicheng, and they often do things that violate laws and disciplines. And if Jiang Bin wants to rebel, he will lead him.
The soldiers could arrive outside Bei'an Gate in just a few minutes, use the excuse of training to enter the imperial city, and chop melons and vegetables to kill Zhu Houzhao.
There are currently six battalions in the Xuguanting (Baofang New Army). The Shenwei Battalion is directly led by Jiang Bin. The Shenqian Battalion is a 6,000 Beijing soldier trained by Wang Yuan. The emperor also has a middle military camp, which is a long-range archery unit and is led by the current imperial horse.
The young supervisor Zhu Lin is in charge.
The six battalions took turns going to the Leopard Room for training, and today it was the turn of the Brave Battalion, while Jiang Bin was drinking in the Yizi Mansion.
Li Cong, the right commander of the rear army, gave Jiang Bin a full glass of wine and advised: "Brother, the issue of bad currency in the Ministry of Industry has become a big deal, so we should stop as soon as possible."
Jiang Bin sneered: "What does the Ministry of Industry's bad money have to do with me?"
Li Cong whispered: "You spilled the beans last time when you were drunk."
Jiang Bin didn't care: "As long as you and my brother know it, who outside can say that I did it? Even if the cabinet is too violent and His Majesty has no choice but to investigate, Li Hao, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, will be responsible. The old guy has been arrested by Jin Yiwei.
"
Li Cong urged: "Brother, you were the most cautious before, and you shouldn't take such risks. Baoyuan Bureau and Baoquan Bureau mint money, but they all have to go into the national treasury. The salaries of hundreds of officials are drawn from the national treasury. This month
Many officials received bad money. This is an act that offends the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"
"Don't talk about it," Jiang Bin waved his hand and said, "People need coal to make a living, and now they also use coal to make money. I heard that coal is still used for weaving and spinning in Tianjin. I plan to build more coal mines in Xishan
, if you are interested in mining coal, we can also help you find a mine."
Li Cong said happily: "Thank you very much, brother!"
Jiang Bin held the wine glass and said bitterly: "We are called the 'Four Side Generals' by the civil servants. Now that Old Xu (Xu Tai) is dead, the remaining three should stick together. Zhang Yong is currently favored, and we will wait for the right opportunity.
, when Your Majesty gets tired of him, I will definitely ask Lao Xu to take revenge!"
Jiang Bin's state at this time was very abnormal, he was completely different from when he first entered the Leopard Room.
First, when he was promoted to the post of Commander-in-Chief of the Left Command of the Hou Army, he reached the promotion limit of a military attache and floated into the air without touching the ground. Among the five military commander-in-chiefs, the Governor-General of the Hou Army has the greatest power and is responsible for the jurisdiction of Beizhili and most of the border towns.
Jiang Bin became the commander-in-chief of the left army of the rear army. If you use the civil servant as an analogy, you can understand it as Wang Yuan became the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty.
Second, he was not satisfied with the status quo and wanted more real power. For example, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Jiang Bin all wanted to get their hands on them, but the emperor refused to give them life and death, and he gradually became resentful of the emperor.
Changing ways to make money, even deliberately taking risks and breaking the rules, is just Jiang Bin venting his dissatisfaction in disguise.
Jiang Bin was even more arrogant in history. At that time, he had already commanded Dongchang and Jinyiwei, and he was so swollen that he was about to explode. Not to mention asking the Duke to kneel down for him, during Zhu Houzhao's southern tour, in order to block Zhang Yonghe's civil servants, he actually encouraged the emperor
They went hunting in the mountains, and a (fake) mutiny in the middle of the night frightened the emperor into hiding in a cave. The eunuchs and civil servants searched for several days before they found the emperor.
Moreover, Jiang Bin was fine and completely shirked the responsibility, and Zhu Houzhao still trusted him.
At this moment, in the adopted son's house, Jiang Bin was very drunk and began to complain that the emperor was too partial.
Suddenly, a guard came in and reported: "Two governors, Your Majesty called each other in the Leopard Room and said that there are important matters that need to be discussed."
Jiang Bin and Li Cong had their arms around each other, their legs were unsteady, and they laughed loudly: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I definitely want to marry you again... for the expedition. He was ill a while ago, and he heard that Mongolia... was invading the south.
But he was so angry that he threw the table. Now...now that he is well, I will definitely...definitely...definitely lead the troops to fight!"
Li Cong didn't drink that much, so he called the maids from the Yizi Mansion and ordered him to prepare hot water for a bath, and also made two bowls of sobering soup. He couldn't meet the emperor with the odor of alcohol.
About half an hour later, after taking a shower and changing clothes, Jiang Bin finally woke up a lot and hurriedly rode straight to Bei'anmen.
The two were led to the Xiyuan Study Room and found that Shen Zhou and other new army generals were also there. Jiang Bin became more certain that the emperor wanted to lead the expedition himself.
When the emperor traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, Jiang Bin did not have an advantage because there were eunuchs helping Zhang Yong along the way.
When the emperor went to the border towns to fight, that was Jiang Bin's home field. Except for Liaodong and Shaanxi, the rest of the Ming Dynasty's nine borders were under the jurisdiction of Jiang Bin, the left commander of the rear army.
If Jiang Bin wants to keep his favor, he must encourage the emperor to go to the frontier!
Just when Jiang Bin was full of ambition and thinking about how to conquer the north, the study door was suddenly pushed open.
"Zhang Yong?" The smile on Jiang Bin's face froze instantly, because Zhang Yong was followed by a team of factory guards.
Dongchang fans are not eunuchs. Like Jinyiwei, they recruit and train normal people. However, Dongchang admirals and stewards are basically eunuchs, and they are often concurrently held by the ceremonial eunuchs.
Zhang Yong smiled and said: "Director Zhu, come with me."
Jiang Bin directly reported: "I want to meet His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty said that I never want to see you again in this life." Zhang Yong smiled even happier.
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the study changed their expressions.
Zhang Yong then said to other generals: "Today's matter has nothing to do with you. Please wait here for the time being."
The generals breathed a sigh of relief, but Li Cong, who was close to Jiang Bin, buried his head and said nothing, for fear that he would be implicated. Husband and wife are birds in the same forest, and they will fly separately when disaster strikes, not to mention the false brothers who worship the leader.
, Li Cong would not say a kind word for Jiang Bin.
Zhang Yong gently raised his left hand, and the factory guards behind him immediately stepped into the study room and immediately surrounded Jiang Bin.
"Get out of the way, I want to see His Majesty!" Jiang Bin was still arrogant, not believing that he had lost power.
Zhang Yong sneered and said: "Huh, if you don't drink the toast, you'll have to drink wine as a penalty, and tie him up for our family! Also, gagged his mouth, we don't want to hear his noise."
