Chapter 10: Inspecting the Sky
At this time, a Jinyiwei, who was in her thirties, wearing a flying fish suit and a handsome waist, walked in quickly.
This person was named Li Ruolian, who was a Jinshi from Wuchen Wu. At that time, he was the commander of the Nantang of the Jinyiwei. During the Jiashen Incident, he drew lots to guard the Chongwen Gate. Not long after, the soldiers mutinyed. Some people opened the Chongwen Gate and surrendered. Most of the generals of the Beijing camp followed him out to welcome him. Only Li Ruolian and the deputy general of the Beijing camp, Dong Qi, fought hard to fight to the death, and finally both died at the top of the city. Li Ruolian was the only Jinyiwei official in the Jiashen Incident who had recorded the death to the top of the city.
Zhu Cilang traveled through time and did not have many people to trust around him, and he urgently needed to recruit people, and those loyal ministers who died for the country became his best choice.
It just so happened that the original commander of the Eastern Palace, his uncle Zhou Jing, broke his legs by riding a horse, so he took the opportunity to transfer Li Ruolian to the Eastern Palace. Except for the founding prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Biao, all the other princes lived in the palace, and they did not have a special East Palace residence like the Han and Tang Dynasties. Therefore, the daily guards were all under the responsibility of the Gongwei Department, which was the Jinyiwei. Zhu Cilang called Li Ruolian to replace Zhou Jing, who was also the Jinyiwei, which was completely natural.
Of course, everyone is still wondering, what kind of virtue is Li Ruolian? He can actually be favored by the prince? Once the prince ascends the throne, Li Ruolian becomes a follower and his future is limitless.
In addition to Li Ruolian, Zhu Cixuan also used a Jinyiwei Qianhu named Gao Wencai.
Gao Wencai, Jinyiwei Street Fang, was in charge of the punishment of thousands of households, and was a Wanping people. During the Jiashen Incident, he organized military and civilians to resist Li Zicheng fiercely. Later, he heard that Emperor Chongzhen had already committed suicide in Meishan, returned home, closed the door, and went to the country with his family of seventeen.
Of course, Zhu Cilang needs to use such a person.
Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai were originally unknown people, but suddenly they were valued by the prince, so they were naturally grateful. Over the past month, the two of them had done a lot of things for Zhu Cixuan.
Zhu Cilang waved his two palace ladies and Li Ruolian whispered a few words in his ear, and he nodded: "Let's go, the two dukes should be anxious."
"My ministers Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen, and Chen Xinjia have met Your Highness."
Outside the palace gate, Zhu Chunchen Chen Xinjia and Chen Xinjia had been waiting for a long time. When they saw the prince appear, they rushed forward to greet him.
Zhu Cilang was slightly on his head, and his face smiled gently: "The two dukes are exempt from gifts, and the ministry is exempt from gifts."
Zhu Chunchen was handsome, fair-faced and well-proportioned, with a big beard that was black and dense, and wearing a scarlet python robe, which looked quite majestic. However, after a closer look, he could find that there was uneasy in his eyes - why did the emperor suddenly remember that he had asked the prince to inspect the Beijing camp? Could it be that he was dissatisfied with him and wanted to remove his position as the governor of the Beijing camp?
Fortunately, the emperor did not come in person, but sent the prince, a 14 or 15-year-old boy, so it should not be difficult to fool him.
Xu Yunzhen is tall and tall, and his eyes are also a little uneasy. Over the years, he and Zhu Chunchen have done a lot of bullshit things in the Beijing camp. It would be fine if they didn't investigate, but something would happen if they investigated. In addition, Chongzhen did not like him very much, so his uneasiness was even more uneasy than Zhu Chunchen.
Chen Xinjia had a dark face and a worried face. Song Jin's defeat in the Ministry of War had to pay the greatest responsibility. The memorial to impeach him flew into the cabinet like a snowflake. Because the emperor did not speak, the cabinet had not dealt with him yet. However, the prison door of the imperial prison was already open for him, and he might be questioned and imprisoned at any time. Therefore, he worked hard for the past half month and only hoped to escape this disaster.
But unexpectedly, news of Xiangcheng's defeat suddenly came again. The three-sided governor Wang Qiaonian was abused and killed by Li Zicheng, which was equivalent to giving him another blow.
So he couldn't sit down and was frightened.
In fact, the Minister of War cannot be in charge of the Beijing camp. The three major camps of the capital belong to the emperor's personal army, and the food and wages are all paid by the treasury. The governor and command are all served by the emperor's trust. There are also the emperor's new military eunuch. Although the Ministry of War has the responsibility of assistant management, it is just a name. Unless the emperor personally issued an order, those nobles will not be able to escape from the Ministry of War. If there is a problem with the Beijing camp, they will naturally not be held accountable.
Therefore, although Chen Xinjia's people came, his mind was not in the Jingying. His mind was all in the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang.
His Majesty ordered the prince to inspect the Beijing camp, and he had already guessed that this was probably a precursor to rectify the Beijing camp.
In addition, he was very surprised when he received the secret order to retreat from Xingshan Tashan at noon.
After so many years, he has a good understanding of the emperor's temper. With the emperor's attitude of rather than bending, he will never give the order to retreat in Xingshan Tashan. How did he change his temper today? It was not until Ma Shaoyu sent someone to spread the news to him that he suddenly realized.
All this is because of the crown prince!
Xingshan Tashan is no longer guarded. Chen Xinjia knew very well, but he did not dare to make suggestions to Chongzhen. If these two places were lost, as the Minister of War, he would definitely bear joint and several liability. Now the crown prince persuaded the emperor to withdraw troops and people from Xingshan Tashan, which was a relief for him. Therefore, he was quite grateful to the crown prince, and at the same time he also had a vague sense that the crown prince had grown up and began to interfere in the affairs of the court, and the government would have a premonition that the government would soon change.
Judging from the three orders given by the Crown Prince to Ma Shaoyu, the Crown Prince is definitely a decisive and far-reaching person.
Therefore, when Chen Xinjia paid homage to Zhu Cilang, he was very respectful and even had a slight fear in his eyes.
Of course, like Ma Shaoyu, Chen Xinjia was also confused, that is, where should His Royal Highness the Crown Prince find the fields and distribute them to the Liao people? Although there are many barren mountains around the capital, they cannot be cultivated.
I can't think of it even if I want to break my head, so I simply don't think about it anymore.
The crown prince is not an ordinary person, so there must be a unique solution.
After the ceremony, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen, and Chen Xinjia surrounded the crown prince and headed towards the capital camp.
Behind Zhu Cilang, Tian Shouxin and Li Ruolian led a hundred Jinyiwei to a mighty place.
The Beijing camp was divided into three major camps. The Shenji camp was a firearm unit, stationed in Jizhongfang; the Three Thousand Camps were cavalry units, mostly Mongolians in the camps, and stationed in Baizhongfang. However, the two battalions are basically empty now and can only barely support their face. Therefore, the Beijing camp still belongs to the five military camps, and the five military camps were divided into the central army, the left-ye army, the right-ye army, the left-saith army, and the right-saith army.
The central army, the Yongwei Battalion, was led by Sun Yingyuan and Huang Degong, and was in Huguang and stalemate with Luo Rucai and Zhang Xianzhong. The other four battalions were all located in the north of the city, including the left and right garrison at Desheng Gate, the left garrison at Anding Gate, and the right garrison at Jiaozhongfang.
"Your Highness, which battalion should we go to first?"
Zhu Chunchen asked cautiously.
Zhu Cilang said lightly: "I won't go to any camp. I will order the Wujun Camp, Shenji Camp, and the three thousand camps to gather outside the city to check the school site!"
Hearing this, Zhu Chunchen was shocked and almost fell off his horse. He thought that the prince was just inspecting the camps and was watching the scene. He was not afraid of revealing too many flaws, but he didn't expect that the prince would actually have a "major military parade". Such a big scene has not been seen for more than ten years. Not to mention his soldiers, he himself would be in a hurry.
Once a mess occurs, the problem of occupying the service, vain salary, and training is a waste, I may not be able to cover it up if I want to cover it up.
Xu Yunzhen's face also turned pale.
Chen Xinjia felt a little nervous: It seems that the prince is going to play really!
"What, can't it be?"
Zhu Cilang's face sank.
Zhu Chunchen swallowed secretly, calmly on the surface: "Your Highness, there are 120,000 people in the third battalion of the capital. In addition to the Yongwei camp and the guards of the nine gates of the capital, there are 70,000 troops in total. Suddenly gathering, it is inevitable that the army will be in a hurry, which will affect the military appearance and the inspection of the site of Your Highness. According to my opinion, it is better to order the battalion to rectify its personnel. It is not too late to inspect the site of the site tomorrow morning."
"Duke, when did you receive the imperial edict?" Zhu Cixuan asked coldly.
"Report to your Highness, it's noon."
"Have you ever sent it to various battalions?"
"How dare you be negligent, I will issue it immediately."
"Since that's the case, why did you gather suddenly? How could you be in a hurry?" Zhu Cixuan's voice was stern: "Even a mere school site inspection has to be prepared for one night. Is this still my three camps of the Ming Dynasty? I can wait, but can Jianlu wait? Once Jianlu troops are at the city, do you also want them to wait for one night and attack the city the next day?"
"this……"
Zhu Chunchen was sweating in cold sweat. As a Duke, he was named king of the country for two generations. He had been distinguished for three hundred years. He originally did not have much respect for the prince and regarded the prince as a child. It was not until this time that he realized that he really underestimated the prince. He quickly turned over and got off the horse and knelt down on the ground: "I am confused, I will convene all the camps now."
