Chapter 140 Who the hell are you! [Ask for a monthly ticket]
Since the civil servants overtook the military officials in the Tumubao Incident, after repeated suppressions, the status of the military officials has become lower and lower, and almost all the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have tried to control the army again. It is a pity that since the Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty,
Neither Chenghua nor Jingtai nor Hongzhi succeeded.
However, the efforts of these generations of emperors are not without effect. That is, after the efforts of generations of emperors, the scale of the imperial army directly under the Yuma Prison has become larger and larger. From the thousands of people at the beginning to the time of Zhu Houzhao, the Yuma Prison
The number of people directly under the Imperial Guard has reached more than 20,000.
The more than 20,000 people are the Four Tengxiang Guards who are not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War and are directly under the Imperial Horse Guards. If Chu Yi wants to control a certain amount of military power in the capital, the best one is naturally the Four Tengxiang Guards. Likewise, Zhu Houzhao also
Knowing this, he handed over the Royal Horse Supervisor to Chu Yi without hesitation.
The Royal Horse Supervisor is not important. What is important is the Tengxiang Four Guards who are directly supervised by the Royal Horse Supervisor. Without the Tengxiang Four Guards at his disposal, the Chief Royal Horse Supervisor would never have the confidence to compete with the Chief Ceremony Supervisor.
The civil service system of the Ming Dynasty has been competing with the emperor for dominance of military power. The Ministry of War and even the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army have been reduced to the domain of civil servants. Naturally, these people focused on the Tengxiang Four Guards directly under the jurisdiction of the Yuma Prison.
The Tengxiang Four Guards, which are not under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, are like a thorn stuck in the roar of these people. Perhaps these civil servants have not thought about rebellion or anything, but after the military and political power of the country is taken into their hands, here
In the land of the capital, there is such a force that is beyond its control and restraint. This is simply a headache for the civil service system that has a strong desire for control.
Therefore, the civil servants, the emperor and even the internal servants have been engaged in various overt and covert battles around the Tengxiang Four Guards. As the civil servants became stronger, the number of the Tengxiang Four Guards was reduced. At the minimum, the four guards totaled only a few thousand people. Throw in
Among the many teams in the huge Beijing camp, there are not even as many people as any of the dozens of guards in the Beijing camp.
When the emperor and his servants had the upper hand, the Four Guards of Tengxiang would expand accordingly. When Liu Jin became the most powerful, Zhu Houzhao took advantage of the situation and issued an order to expand the Four Guards of Tengxiang to more than 20,000 people.
Therefore, when Liu Jin was in power, although most of his actions were harmful to the country and the people, many of his measures were not without merit. At least Liu Jin sent tax inspectors to local areas to collect salt tax, mineral tax, tea tax, commercial tax, etc., which greatly increased the tax revenue.
.And the fact that the Tengxiang Four Guards can reach more than 20,000 people is also due to Liu Jin.
Chu Yi went straight into the Four Guards of Tengxiang, which made everyone who was staring at Chu Yi tighten their hearts and realize that Chu Yi was not as short-sighted as Liu Jin.
Given Liu Jin's power at the time, Zhu Houzhao may have had the intention of restraining Liu Jin with the Royal Horse Prison, but Liu Jin was captured so easily because Liu Jin did not have an army that could be used.
But Chu Yi is different. Although the Chief of Ceremonies is important to him, in Chu Yi's heart, the Chief of Liturgics may not be stronger than the Four Guards of Tengxiang, so Chu Yi went to the Four Guards of Tengxiang as soon as possible.
In the huge military camp, the sound of drums was heard throughout the camp. This drum sound was the sound of summoning the generals of the army. However, all the soldiers in the army were also alerted. Many of them looked at the admiral curiously.
Looking in the direction of the big tent.
Previously, Gu Dayong was in charge of the Royal Horse Prison, but Gu Dayong picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon. He was busy competing with Liu Jin for favor in front of the emperor, and he didn't pay much attention to his subordinates, the four guards of Tengxiang.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is still a time of peace. Since it is not a troubled time, coupled with the suppression of the literati, the status of military officers and soldiers has naturally dropped too much.
Even Gu Dayong, who was a chamberlain, didn't take these big-headed soldiers to heart at all. He didn't realize that if the four guards of Tengxiang were properly controlled, his influence in the capital might not be as good as Liu Jin's, but he wouldn't be as influential either.
There will be too much difference.
It is precisely because of this that since Gu Dayong served as the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Fourth Guard of Tengxiang, he could hardly come here a few times a year, let alone beat the drum to gather the generals.
Now Chu Yi is beating drums in the army to gather generals, which naturally arouses the curiosity of many soldiers. The expressions of the four guards in Tengxiang, from the commander of the guards to the officials of thousands of households, officials of hundreds of households, and small flags, all changed slightly.
.
All the officials from hundreds of households and above were in the area where the generals were beating drums. Many officials from hundreds of households and officials from thousands of households were stunned for a moment and rushed towards the admiral's tent immediately.
In the time it takes a cup of tea, if any general cannot arrive in time, he will definitely be punished by military law. Military law in the army is strict, and very few people dare to test the law.
Chu Yi was sitting in the big tent, while Peng Chun was beating the drum with all his strength in front of a big drum. In just a short while, he saw officials from hundreds of households and officials from thousands of households rushing over from various barracks in twos and threes.
Walking into the tent, they only saw Chu Yi with a solemn expression sitting there. Many people had never seen Chu Yi at all, but Chu Yi’s aura and the fact that he was sitting steadily in the admiral’s tent made even a fool
It can also be guessed that Chu Yi is definitely the emperor's new chief horse supervisor.
Seeing Chu Yi, many people felt awe-inspiring in their hearts. Chu Yi's evil reputation in the capital has spread due to the spread of caring people. It can be said that very few people don't know Chu Yi's name.
The Songyang Massacre, the Jiangnan Massacre, and even the emperor appointed him as the Chief Superintendent of Ceremonies and the Chief Supervisor of Royal Horses as soon as he returned to the capital. Among the incidents where hundreds of officials directly admonished the emperor, Chu Yi even impeached Mao Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Pang Wenbin, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, on the spot.
Two people.
The day before, he was still a first-rank official, but in the blink of an eye, he was sent to the secret prison of Dongchang, making everyone truly feel the horror of Chu Yi, a newly promoted official.
Facing such a Chu Yi who held many important official positions, any of these generals dared to be careless in the slightest. They entered the camp and stood there according to their official positions.
Soon there were dozens of people in the big tent, including Han Kun, one of the guards commanders, several thousand-household officials and dozens of hundred-household officials.
The sound of drums outside the big tent gradually disappeared. After a cup of tea, there was a sound of silence in the big tent. Chu Yi sat firmly on it and glanced over the people.
No one dared to look at Chu Yi. Under Chu Yi's gaze, everyone lowered their eyebrows, fearing that something was wrong and offended this notorious admiral.
In the silent tent, Chu Yi could only be heard saying slowly: "Cao Shaoqin, come forward and call your names!"
Cao Shaoqin, who was standing next to Chu Yi, took a step forward with a military roster in his hand, and his eyes full of sinister evil swept over the people below.
Everyone felt that Cao Shaoqin's gaze was like a poisonous snake, and their hearts tightened suddenly.
"Commander of the Guard Xu Yizu..."
It was quiet in the big tent, but no one responded. Cao Shaoqin narrowed his eyes and said again: "Where is Xu Yizu!"
Obviously Xu Yizu was not here, so he saw Cao Shaoqin sketching on the roster and continued: "Commander Han Kun!"
Han Kun, who was dressed in armor, took a step forward, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Han Kun is here!"
Chu Yi looked up at Han Kun and nodded slightly. Seeing the change in Chu Yi's expression, Han Kun breathed a sigh of relief.
Cao Shaoqin continued: "Commander Huang Zhan!"
However, it was quiet in the big tent. It was obvious that Huang Zhan and Xu Yizu were not here, either because they were in the military camp and did not hear the drum sound, or they did not stay in the military camp.
Cao Shaoqin screamed again: "Where is Commander Huang Zhan!"
Just when Cao Shaoqin was about to draw on the roster, a rough voice came from outside the big tent, saying with a hint of drunkenness: "Damn it, who is banging the drum for nothing? I don't know if I'm still here."
Aren’t you awake? Who gave the order to beat the drum? Get out of here!"
Immediately afterwards, I saw a figure rushing in. He was wearing a moon-white tunic, his hair was slightly messy, and he was holding a knife in his hand. As he entered the big tent, a pungent smell of alcohol hit his face and made people feel uncomfortable.
It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
Who is Huang Zhan, one of the commanders of the Four Guards and Four Davids of Tengxiang?
Huang Zhan was drunk and broke into the tent directly with a knife. His red eyes swept across the tent, he burped and spit out the smell of alcohol, pointed the knife at Chu Yida who was sitting in the middle and said
: "Hey, who are you? How dare you sit here and why don't you get off here!"
It can be seen that Huang Zhan is really drunk, or he has something to rely on and has no scruples. However, the expressions of other people in the tent changed after seeing Huang Zhan's reaction. Several Huang Zhan
Huang Zhan's confidants couldn't help but shed a cold sweat for Huang Zhan.
A confidant standing next to Huang Zhan boldly tugged at the corner of Huang Zhan's clothes and said: "Sir, the admiral is beating the drum to gather the generals. Since you are here, why don't you pay homage to the admiral!"
Huang Zhan said in a daze: "Admiral? Where did the admiral come from? Gu Dayong may not come to the military camp even once every six months..."
The order to formally appoint Chu Yi as the Royal Horse Supervisor and the Admiral of the Four Guards of Tengxiang was issued to the army yesterday. However, yesterday Huang Zhan drank so much that he fell unconscious in his camp. Even if there was an order, Huang Zhan would not do it at all.
He didn't know, so in his mind, the four admirals Tengxiang were still Gu Dayong, the former chief horse supervisor.
With a flick of his hand, Huang Zhan raised his foot and kicked the confidant Qianhu Official, muttering: "Do you fucking think I'm blind? Where did this kid come from?"
Qi Hu shouted: "Bold, the new Chief Supervisor Chu Yi is here. Huang Zhan, why don't you pay your respects to the Chief Supervisor quickly!"
Huang Zhan opened his drunken eyes wide, swayed and burped with wine and said: "What is Mr. Chu? I have never heard of it..."
Chu Yi couldn't help but chuckle, and put one hand on the table and tapped it gently. It could be said that except for Huang Zhan, everyone else looked at Chu Yi nervously.
"Yes, yes, it seems that Commander Huang does not have this governor in his eyes!"
The next moment Chu Yi sneered and said: "In that case, then never get to know this governor again!"
[Well, in Luoyang, we were eating elbows, trying not to get drunk, working hard to code, asking for monthly tickets, and we returned to the top of the monthly ticket list for new books. It’s not easy!]
