Chapter 210 I am a great companion! [Ask for a monthly ticket]
Zhu Houzhao is a dignified emperor, but because of Chu Yi's words, he thought like Chu Yi, but he could also see how frustrating Zhu Houzhao was, the emperor.
Looking at Zhu Houzhao's happy look, Chu Yi slowly said: "Your Majesty should be careful in your words and actions."
Zhu Houzhao chuckled and said, "There are no outsiders here. How frustrating the emperor has been doing over the years? Others don't know. Do you still know the great companion?"
As the eunuchs beside Zhu Houzhao, Chu Yi, Gu Dayong and others know how Zhu Houzhao came over the years.
Under the pressure of all officials, Zhu Houzhao really had no good life, and was even forced to move out of the Forbidden City.
With a light cough, Chu Yi said, "Your Majesty is safe. When you come to reorganize the Beijing camp, Your Majesty will have the power of military power in your hands, and you will no longer have to be angry with those officials."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi deeply, her eyes were filled with emotion, and patted Chu Yi on the shoulder and said, "I have all my honor and disgrace entrusted to my great companion!"
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao's every move was staring at, and many things were impossible to do as they please. Whatever they wanted could only be done through a trustworthy minister.
Liu Jin's actions made Zhu Houzhao's efforts was wasted, but fortunately, Chu Yi's series of actions far exceeded Zhu Houzhao's expectations.
Now Zhu Houzhao still regards Chu Yi as his right-hand man, and even moved to express his words to entrust his emperor honor and disgrace to Chu Yi.
If he hadn't trusted Chu Yi to the extreme, Zhu Houzhao's character would have definitely not be so moved and said such words.
Chu Yi naturally understood what Zhu Houzhao's temperament was, so after listening to what Zhu Houzhao said, Chu Yi took a deep breath, looked at Zhu Houzhao with a solemn expression, and said firmly: "Your Majesty will give everything to me."
Gu Dayong stood there, looking at Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi with his eyes facing each other. He suddenly felt that he seemed a little redundant and couldn't help but feel a little resentful.
The court meeting dispersed, Jiang Mian, Fei Hong and other civil officials walked together, and a civil official said with some concern: "Several lords, Chu Yi's move is clearly to continue to reorganize the Beijing camp and regain military power in one fell swoop. By then, the nobles will rise and the emperor will control the army. We are afraid that we will return to Taizu and Chengzu."
When it comes to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu Zhu Di, and civil officials, no matter who is not afraid, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di, they are all iron-blooded emperors at once. When they kill people, they really don’t blink.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed meritorious officials and launched several imperial edicts, killing civil and military officials. As for Zhu Di, there was a precedent for killing Fang Xiaoru. Although there was no major murder of meritorious officials, when Zhu Di was in power, the strength of the honorary group was strong and he was able to suppress civil officials.
It was not until Zhu Di died and Renzong Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne that civil servants gradually gained the right to speak. When the battle of Tumu Fortress, the civil servant group controlled the military power and completely suppressed the noble group.
It can be said that it took nearly a hundred years, from being suppressed to rising, and it was definitely through the efforts of generations that it had become a civil servant today.
However, Chu Yi and Zhang Mao and other nobles clearly wanted to recreate the scene of equal importance of civil and military affairs in the past, which was absolutely unacceptable for most civil officials.
Although the nobles still do not have much say in the court now, the right to speak depends on the power in hand.
The noble group lost its military power before, so naturally had no say in the court. However, once the noble group formed an alliance with Chu Yi and regained its military power, the right to speak would naturally be restored.
Fei Hong frowned, glanced at the man, and sighed softly, "Everyone, be careful!"
Jiang Mian looked around and whispered: "Now Chu Yi is in full momentum, and no one can compete with him at this time!"
An official said with some reluctance: "Can we just watch Chu Yi take away the power in our hands bit by bit, and make the nobles bigger? I want to suppress it again. Can we come to Tumu Fort again..."
"Sir Cheng, stop talking, dare to talk nonsense in this kind of thing!"
The Lord Cheng was scolded and realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly closed his mouth.
Fei Hong glanced at everyone and said, "Everyone is patient for the time being. I don't believe that the emperor can trust Chu Yi as always. When Chu Yi loses favor, it will be the day of his life."
It is said that the Tian family is indifferent, and the emperor's favor cannot always be with one person. Although Chu Yi is favored by the emperor now, there are more favored ministers like this in history, but how many people who like him will end up well if they are favored ministers.
So Fei Hongcai said that everyone would be patient for a while, and that Chu Yi would fall out of favor in the future and everyone would fight back.
The Jingying Camp covers a vast area, with all the soldiers in Shenji Camp, 3,000 camps and the five military camps here.
All the soldiers received news that the court wanted to reorganize the Beijing camp and lay off the old, weak, sick and disabled. It is said that the emperor took out five million taels of silver and 100,000 acres of land for this purpose to lay off and resettle the old, weak, sick and disabled in the army.
Therefore, all those who can move around will lead the generals and other generals to the campus in the morning.
There were more than 100,000 people, and the entire campus was filled with darkness.
Because the military list must be counted, Chu Yi specially transferred nearly a hundred officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the East Factory and the Jinyiwei.
A thick military list filled with several large boxes was placed there. According to the list, the total number of soldiers in the Beijing camp recorded on it reached more than 138,000.
Of course, there were only about 100,000 people on the entire campus. Some of them died in the fight to quell the Lu Wenyang rebellion, and some of them did not come because of injuries. However, these combined were only 8,000. As for the difference between nearly 20,000 people, it is obvious that this is the one who is vain.
These people only exist on the list. It can be said that the real person does not exist at all, but the salary for these people is paid in a true way. Needless to say, these salary fall into the hands of some officials and generals.
Corruption of civil officials has become a trend, and almost all officials are corrupt. In fact, compared with military generals, it is not much better than civil officials.
There are almost one general in the local Shangwei Station, and corruption is normal, but it is strange that it is not greedy.
This Beijing camp is a little better than the local garrison. After all, it has only been about five years since the last reorganization of the Beijing camp.
But even so, not long ago, Chu Yi still found hundreds of corrupt generals from the Beijing camp, and now he has been besieged on the platform.
On one hand are hundreds of corrupt generals in the army who were locked up, while on the other hand are piled up with a pile of white millions of taels of silver.
Nearly 100,000 soldiers, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled, gathered on the campus, watching the white silver on the platform, and wanted to pounce on them and snatch all the silver.
After the three-way drum passed, Chu Yi, Zhang Mao, Xu Guangzao, Zhu Fu, Han Kun, Shi Kui, Zhang Yu, Cheng Xiangwu and others all appeared on the high platform.
Chu Yi was condescending. At first glance, he saw a dense crowd of black heads, and the 100,000 troops were all in his eyes. Unfortunately, many of them were old and their hunched figures came into view, making the 100,000 troops a little more inconsistent.
Among these large armies, there were even white-haired soldiers. This was the reorganized Beijing camp. Even so, the proportion of strength was less than half.
It is no wonder that Chu Yi insisted on reorganizing the military camp. On the one hand, he used this method to completely control the military power of the Beijing camp. On the other hand, Chu Yi really wanted to strengthen the Ming army.
The surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty were not peaceful. The Tatars, Oirat, Jianzhou Sanwei, Japan, Annan and others could all be called the disaster of the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention other things, the Oirat invaded the Ming Dynasty, and the Tumu Fortress was caused by the disaster. The Tatars often invaded the border, and the Ming border troops were guarding the border.
As for the three guards of Jianzhou, the Jurchen Yi people even rebelled and surrendered, rebelling again, disturbing the land of Liaodong. Although they were not as good as Tatars and Oirat, they were considered to be a major problem.
Not to mention the land of Japan, at most decades later, outstanding figures such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga, and Tokugawa Ieyasu were released in Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi even launched troops to invade North Korea, trying to use North Korea as a pedal to invade the Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention Annan, the British Duke Zhang Fusan conquered Annan. During the Jiajing period, Annan was in trouble and disaster in the southern part of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Shizong Jiajing sent a large army to suppress it, and Mo Dengyong was defeated and presented a letter of surrender.
It can be said that all the Ming Dynasty is full of disasters. If there is no strong enough army, even the Eastern Empire will probably be powerful and ineffective.
Chu Yi took a deep breath and roared: "All the soldiers, I will work with the Duke of England, Duke of Chengguo, Duke of Dingguo, etc. to lay off the old, weak, sick and disabled, and reorganize the Beijing camp. Your Majesty is kind and merciful to the soldiers in the army. He specially gave him five million taels of silver and 100,000 mu of fertile land to cut off and resettle the soldiers who were laid off. Long live Your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
The soldiers below couldn't help but bow down with a loud bang, shouting long live the mountain, and the sound shook the Forbidden City.
After the soldiers below calmed down their excitement, Chu Yi said again: "Before this, I will kill a group of soldiers in the Corrupt Mo Army who paid silver for the silver-fighting soldiers in front of the soldiers. I hope the soldiers will learn from it!"
While speaking, hundreds of military generals who were found were dragged up one by one. Many people couldn't help but roar at Chu Yi and scolded: "Emperor, you must die a good death!"
"The eunuch, grandpa is still a hero in 18 years!"
"Haha, no one in the army is greedy. If you have the ability, you can kill all the generals!"
Chu Yi turned a deaf ear to the roars of these people and waved his hand and said, "Chun!"
Suddenly, the sword flashed, and the heads rolled down. As the heads of former colleagues fell to the ground, white hair sweat oozed out from the foreheads of many generals.
