502 [Continue to make trouble, continue to mutiny]
As winter turns to spring, it is already the twenty-second year of Zhengde.
After all, Zhu Houzhao still couldn't quit drinking. He didn't drink at all for more than a month, and one day he suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and asked for a drink.
The imperial concubine did not dare to object, and the eunuchs and maids even less dared to object. They could only give a few words of advice, because with Zhu Houzhao's temper, repeated advice would definitely make him irritable and angry - it is better to drink alcohol than to die of anger.
Therefore, the imperial concubine made an agreement with the emperor that she could only drink two cups of rice wine a month.
Zhu Houzhao tried his best to control himself, but occasionally drank too much. He has always been a person with weak self-control.
The three major official positions have been vacant for more than a month and have been pending for more than a month. Related matters are temporarily handled by several deputies. For example, when Zhao Huang, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, formally describes his official position, he has to add the words "Deputy Minister" and "Acting for the Seal of the Ministry".
” prefix.
Three people were fishing by Taiye Pond.
Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry... Zhu Houzhao warned himself repeatedly, calmed down and said, "What do you think?"
Yang Tinghe doesn't like fishing, but now he has to like it.
Zhu Houzhao has not been to the court for a single day since his condition worsened. Whenever there was important government affairs, he would call Yang Tinghe and Wang Yuan to go fishing. Being able to fish with the emperor has become the envy of all officials.
Upon hearing the emperor's question, Yang Tinghe said: "He deserves to be killed!"
Wang Yuan also said: "You really deserve to be killed!"
Zhu Houzhao said: "Although Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian are dead, they still want to take away their official positions and take back their respective rewards!"
Yang Tinghe was stunned and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, I am saying that Zhu Zhen should be killed, and all the officers who participated in the mutiny should be killed."
"They were forced to rebel. They were intolerable by law and forgivable by emotion. How could they be killed?" Zhu Houzhao was very unhappy. He was even more angry that the most glorious battle in his life, the Battle of Yingzhou, was actually killed by eunuchs.
The general embezzled the soldiers' rewards.
Wang Yuan analyzed: "Your Majesty, I think there is something else in the memorial of Minister Xi. As the governor of the three sides to quell the mutiny, he should not only say good things to the mutinous officers in the memorial, but say nothing about the killings caused by the mutiny."
Not mentioned. Also? Minister Xi praised Zhu Zhen too much? This is completely out of touch with reality."
Yang Tinghe also said: "I still know Zhang Wenjin. He is extremely cautious. It is impossible that he did not personally inspect the border fort. He forced the soldiers of the three halls to move with their families. Zhu Zhen's memorial is false, and Xi Shilang's
The memorials are exactly the same? This is so abnormal."
Wang Yuan guessed: "Perhaps the corruption of Zhang Wenjin and Jia Jian is true? But it will not freeze the soldiers and their families to death. There is only one possibility? The newly built border fort is too close to the Great Wall, and the soldiers who moved to the border do not want to die on the border.
, and did not want to give up their original home and land. Zhang Wenjin was strict in running the army, so he would definitely force the soldiers to relocate? But Jia Jian, under pressure from the governor, probably had no choice but to obey orders, which triggered the Datong mutiny."
Yang Tinghe and Wang Yuan looked at each other and found that they had a tacit understanding with each other.
Zhu Houzhao thought carefully and said confusedly: "Is this really the case?"
"It must be so." Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe said at the same time.
Half a month later, Xi Shu's second memorial arrived? This time, he sent someone to send it quietly out of Datong.
Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he didn't want to go fishing, and he didn't bother to summon Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe. He just let the cabinet handle the matter on its own.
Xi Shu didn't know what method he used to find out the matter. He also secretly subdued an officer.
The facts are similar to Wang Yuan's guess. The main reason for the mutiny was that the soldiers of the Three Halls were unwilling to move to Xinbao. Was it the officers and soldiers who were afraid of death? There was also the factor of corruption and embezzlement by the generals. The soldiers who were already full of resentment and had a difficult life? Now they have to do it again.
Taking his wife, children and family to "die"? When he set out, he was beaten by the general Jia Jian. In anger, he cut Jia Jian's body into pieces to vent his hatred.
After the mutiny broke out, the officers calmed down and ran away to the abandoned old fort outside the Great Wall in fear.
Zhang Wenjin was afraid that the border troops would defect to Mongolia, so he quickly sent people to appease them. He had successfully appeased them, but he arrested the mutiny leaders overnight, which provoked the officers to rebel again.
In the final analysis, the military garrison system was destroyed, and the border towns had long lost their fighting spirit and were unwilling to sacrifice their lives for the imperial court.
Just like a modern company, they voluntarily work 996 overtime every day, and their wages are deducted for no reason, and their year-end bonuses are stolen by managers at all levels. Now it is suddenly said that the company is doing business in Somalia and needs to transfer a group of elite backbones. The conditions there are very difficult, everyone
We must work hard to overcome it. As for the salary increase for the time being, forget about the salary and bonus deductions in the past.
You have to go, otherwise I will sue you and detain you for a year and a half.
You are an employee, can you explode?
…
In March of Yangchun, Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe made a deal.
Wang Jun (Yang Dang), the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, was promoted to a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and was in charge of the Imperial Palace. Peng Ze (Yang Dang), the imperial censor of the Zuo Du, was transferred to the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Hubu. Wang Zan (Wang Dang), the left minister of the Ministry of War, was promoted to a worker.
Ministry of Finance.
Xi Shu was promoted to Cangchang Shangshu, a rank higher than that of Cangchang Shangshu, but his power was the same as his original position of Cangchang Minister.
In addition, Xi Shu remained as the governor of the three sides and was responsible for supervising the military affairs of Datong. Zhao Huang, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry (of the royal party), was transferred to the position of minister of Cangchang and took charge of Cangchang affairs instead of Xi Shu.
Wang Yangming remained as the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, and was awarded the title of Imperial Doctor. A letter from a disciple of Xinxue revealed that Wang Yangming's lung disease had recurred, and Wang Yuan did not dare to transfer the teacher to Beijing to breathe in the sandstorm.
To sum up in one sentence, the Hanlin Academy, the imperial office, and the household department were all thrown to the Yang party. Wang Yuan clung to the Ministry of Industry and the treasury, and by the way, he gave Wang Yangming and Xi Shu a promotion. In this way, Yang Tinghe supported Wang Yuan in rectifying border affairs.
The two of them felt like water from a well rather than from a river.
The leader of the mutiny, Zhu Zhen, was reinstated and served as the commander-in-chief of Datong. The other mutiny officers were not rewarded or punished, so they did whatever they were supposed to do.
However, these guys have already written it down in their notebooks, and there will always be a day of reckoning.
The Sixth Battalion of the Leopard House has been reorganized into three battalions, all of which are mixed with muskets, artillery, chariots, archers, and long soldiers. Two of the battalions were transferred to Datong and placed under the control of Governor Xishu of the three sides in order to deal with the mutiny brought by Qingtian.
risk.
There were not enough people to apply for martial arts examinations, so Wang Yuan called students from Beijing Wushu School and Nanjing Wushu School (North and South Central Military Schools) to participate in the martial arts examination in the capital in April.
A total of more than 400 people took the exam, most of them were noble students. Only fifteen people were admitted, the rest were all fucking trash, and only two of the noble students passed the exam.
These fifteen newly minted military officers were all thrown to Datong by Wang Yuan to fill the vacancies of military attachés who died in the mutiny.
Xi Shu impeached three eunuchs in one breath, one was the guard eunuch and two were separate guard eunuchs.
Wang Yuan had already discussed with the emperor, and all three eunuchs were dealt with, and the property was inspected, and there was countless property. The property was temporarily placed under the management of Xi Shu, and the property was distributed to the landless soldiers, in order to win over the lower-level soldiers.
Then, the properties of the officers who died in the mutiny were cleared, and all the fertile land they had seized was confiscated and distributed again to ordinary soldiers in each guard post.
After four months of this, Xi Shu finally took action against the active officers, and at the same time cleaned up the military fields of the Datong vanguard, Datong rear guard, Datong left guard and Andong Zhongtun guard rear Qianhu station.
Mutiny breaks out again!
This time, it was planned and carried out by high-level military commanders, and the leader was Zhu Zhen, who had just been recruited as the commander-in-chief.
