Chapter 139 To hold the gun tightly [ask a monthly ticket]
Chu Yi himself didn't actually have much reputation in the capital. It was only after the Songyang murder case spread that he became known to the public. At that time, many people heard that the governor of Dongchang had caused the Songyang murder case, and they seemed to suddenly know that Dongchang was the murderer.
The governor turned out to be Chu Yi.
It can be said that for several years, no one in the capital had heard of Chu Yi at all. Even the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were so interested in Chu Yi, the governor of the East Factory, because Chu Yi had protected some loyal officials under Liu Jin.
Make an impression.
At that time, everyone sighed about Chu Yi: This is really a rare governor of the East Factory, one of the rare ones who did not cause mass murders.
After all, Liu Jin was there at that time, covering up all the limelight. In addition, Chu Yi kept a low profile, making Chu Yi have no sense of existence.
However, this time, when the news of the Jiangnan murder case spread in the capital, it can be said that countless people suddenly got to know Chu Yi.
On this day, many interested people discovered that the houses of Mao Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, Pang Wenbin, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Hu Ming, the old censor, were all surrounded by Dongchang fans.
On the first day when he became the Chief Supervisor of Ceremonies, Chu Yi did not rush to clean up the hierarchy of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but maintained the status quo. After all, with the collapse of Liu Jin, Liu Jin's tentacles in all aspects were cut off, even the Secretary of Ceremonies.
The same is true in the ceremonial prison.
But all Liu Jin's confidants had already been removed by Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others, and the only ones left were ordinary eunuchs in the Si Li Prison.
Maybe these little eunuchs have the eyes of other big eunuchs or even the cabinet elders, but this has no impact. Chu Yi just transferred Du Qian from Dongchang to the ceremonial department, so the entire ceremonial department does not need to worry too much.
.
What really attracted Chu Yi's attention was the Yuma Jian. The Yuma Jian and the Ministry of War jointly controlled the military power, and even took charge of the Imperial Guards of the Beijing Camp.
It can be said that the Chief Supervisor of the Royal Horse is not necessarily any worse than the Chief Supervisor of Lili. Liu Jin was powerful at the time, but he still was not able to take charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor.
Otherwise, with nearly 20,000 people from the Forbidden Army's Tengxiang Four Guards in hand, Yang Tinghe and others would never have expected to lead their troops to surround Liu Jin's residence so easily and then frame and frame Liu Jin.
Since ancient times, political power has come from the barrel of a gun. Chu Yi can't agree more with this. Since the two powerful emperors Taizu and Chengzu, why did the Ming emperors gradually lose power and even be vaguely restricted by the cabinet? It is precisely because the Ming emperors were a little bit weak.
have lost their ability to control military power.
Especially during the Tumubao Incident, the elites of the Ming Dynasty military generals Xungui Group, who were originally relied upon by the emperor, were almost completely wiped out. As a result, the Xungui Group collapsed and the literati rose up. In the end, the literati even took charge of the military headquarters and the governor's mansion of the five armies.
The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lost direct control over the army. As a result, the Emperor's power was greatly affected when facing the cabinet.
Zhu Houzhao realized this, so he selected elite people from the local area and transferred them to the Forbidden Army, and reorganized the Tengxiang Four Guards.
It can be said that this was the time when the Forbidden Army was at its strongest, and it was also one of the only armies that the emperor could directly mobilize.
It is not without reason that Zhu Houzhao was given the posthumous title of Wu after his death. That is because during his reign, Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to warriors and vigorously promoted military affairs. If Zhu Houzhao had not died early and unexplained, perhaps since Zhu Houzhao, great
Tomorrow the emperor will have the opportunity to take control of the military again.
However, with the death of Zhu Houzhao, the four elite soldiers of Tengxiang were dismissed by Yang Tinghe, and all the hard work of Emperor Wuzong was wasted.
The first thing Chu Yi did when he took office was to go to the Tengyang Siwei garrison.
The Tengxiang Four Guards were stationed right at the capital campus. Chu Yi and Qi Hu saw the huge barracks from a distance.
At the entrance of the camp, several soldiers stood with spears in their hands. Although they were a little loose, compared to the guardsmen who had already been completely reduced to rubbish, at least these people still had some military aura about them.
Even though the Four Guards of Tengxiang had long known that Zhu Houzhao had put a lot of effort into it, Chu Yi himself did not have high hopes.
Wearing a large cloak, and accompanied by several Dongchang fans behind him, Chu Yi dismounted from his horse and came at the same pace as a dragon or a tiger.
Chu Yi and his men came straight to the barracks. They were too eye-catching, even if they didn't want to notice them, so as Chu Yi and his men approached, several soldiers couldn't help but stare at Chu Yi and his men, showing a faint look of caution.
Seeing that Chu Yi was about to rush straight into the barracks, several soldiers were in a daze due to Chu Yi's power. Suddenly, one of the soldiers came back to his senses, clasped his hands with his spear, and shouted in a trembling voice: "The important place of the military camp, there are many idle people."
Stop it!"
Chu Yi paused slightly, and his eyes fell on the soldier. This soldier was wearing paper armor and looked to be in his twenties. His rough hands were holding a spear tightly, and he had a nervous look on his face, but when he faced him,
When he looked at me, although he was a little panicked, he tried hard to maintain a questioning attitude.
Qi Hu's eyes narrowed and he wanted to step forward to stop him, but Chu Yi waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "Oh, what if the governor must enter the barracks?"
Hu Yu stopped Chu Yi's soldiers nervously and said with gritted teeth: "Anyone who breaks into the barracks without mercy will be killed without mercy!"
Several other soldiers also saw that Chu Yi's identity was not simple. Originally, they did not want to stop Chu Yi and his party, but the stunned Qing Hu Yu stopped shouting.
There were five people in a group. At this moment, Wu Commander Peng Chun reacted and shouted angrily at Hu Yu: "Hu Yu, please forgive me for being rude to your face, please get out of my way!"
As he spoke, Peng Chun turned to Chu Yi with a flattering look on his face: "I don't know how to address this noble man, and my subordinates are ignorant. Please forgive me."
Chu Yi's face was filled with a smile. He first glanced at Hu Yu who looked dissatisfied, and finally his eyes fell on Peng Chun and said: "Can I enter the barracks?"
Peng Chun looked at Chu Yi's extraordinary aura and saw that he was not an ordinary person. He gritted his teeth and nodded: "My lord, please!"
In a flash, Peng Chun pushed Hu Yu away, stretched out his hand towards Chu Yi, and wanted to let Chu Yi into the camp!
However, Hu Yu stood there as if his feet were rooted, and said to Peng Chun, who looked ugly: "Commander, these people are not allowed to trespass into the important areas of the barracks without a warrant. If you do this, you will violate military law..."
Peng Chun, who was blocked by his subordinates and felt that he had lost face, couldn't help shouting at Hu Yu: "Well, Hu Yu, are you the corps commander or am I the corps commander? I can do it if I say it, and I won't give it to me."
Get out of the way!"
As he spoke, Peng Chun shouted at his other subordinates: "What are you doing here in such a daze? Why don't you get this stupid young man away from me!"
Those subordinates hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Hu Yu aside. After doing this, Peng Chun said to Chu Yi with a smile on his face: "My lord, please!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly, glanced at Hu Yu lightly, and finally said to Peng Chun: "I don't know how to call him!"
Peng Chun couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he saw the other party asking for his name. He worked so hard just to please the other party. If he was lucky, he might fall into the eyes of a noble person.
Peng Chun, who was inexplicably surprised, quickly said to Chu Yi with great respect: "Peng Chun, I am the captain of the Tengxiang Left Guards! I don't know, sir..."
Peng Chun wanted to know who Chu Yi was, but Chu Yi didn't say much else. He just said lightly: "Chief Peng, please take me into the barracks to have a look! What should I do?"
Slightly startled, Peng Chun nodded quickly and said: "What's wrong with this? To be honest with you, my uncle is a Qianhu official in the Fourth Guards of Tengxiang. I, Peng Chun, still have some respect in the barracks. Your Excellency, I want to go."
You can go wherever you want, I promise no one will stop you!"
Entering the barracks, Chu Yi couldn't help but look around. The entire barracks was well organized. At least based on Chu Yi's familiarity with military books and tactics, the barracks was at least in order and not as bad as he thought.
Thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao invested so much effort. If the four guards in Tengxiang were like the local guards, it can only be said that Zhu Houzhao had too little vision.
Of course, the scene of large-scale military training did not appear. On the contrary, it was more common for many soldiers to gather in groups of three or five. Chu Yi also knew that due to limited conditions, it was difficult to train once a day in this era, or even once every three days.
Xun Na can be regarded as a real elite soldier.
Sure enough, as Peng Chunsheng said, Peng Chun seemed to be quite familiar with the barracks. Many people even took the initiative to say hello to Peng Chun when they saw their group.
Peng Chun responded one by one with his head held high, and introduced many layouts in the barracks to Chu Yi in great detail.
For almost half an hour, Chu Yi also walked around the barracks, and then heard Chu Yi say to Peng Chun: "Chief Peng, please take me to the governor's camp."
Peng Chun was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening. When he looked at Chu Yi, his eyes were filled with horror and surprise, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... you are the new Chief of the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Admiral of the Forbidden Army Chu... Chu Yi!"
Even though the official appointment was just issued yesterday, the decree has already been conveyed to the camp. With Peng Chun's sophistication, it is not surprising that he can guess Chu Yi's identity.
"oh!"
Chu Yi couldn't help but look at Peng Chun. He was just a junior corps commander. Although he said his uncle was an official of a thousand households, he was not a close relative. Otherwise, Peng Chun would never be just a corps commander.
This person was able to guess his own identity from just a few words he said. Considering his vision and the people he had come into contact with, it had to be said that Peng Chun could be considered a talent.
Peng Chun gritted his teeth and said respectfully to Chu Yi: "Master, please come down with me!"
With Peng Chun, a man who was very familiar with the barracks, leading the way, Chu Yi quickly found a tent. It was the place where the Royal Horse Supervisor, the Admiral of Tengxiang and the Four Guards, usually convened the generals of the Four Guards to discuss matters.
Entering the camp, Chu Yi looked around, turned to Peng Chun and said: "Pass this order to the governor, beat the drum to gather the generals!"
In the huge capital city, countless people were watching every move of Chu Yi, a newly powerful figure in the Ming Dynasty. When the news came out that Chu Yi did not go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies immediately, but instead went straight to the Forbidden Army camp, how many people
People's hearts tightened, and several civil servants' hearts trembled.
