Chapter 672: Teng Xiang Four Guards Battalion
"It's nothing, the main thing is to talk to the emperor about Tengxiang Siwei." Liu Honggradually said unabashedly.
Although the guard system has been abolished at present, it is only for the garrisons of the guards in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and the Jinyi Guard, Tengxiang Four Guards, and the Advance Guard of the Government Army directly under the Son of Heaven have been retained because they are responsible for the tasks of the Son of Heaven and the Imperial City Guard.
Although the hereditary system was abolished by Liu Hongchuan's intervention, the four guards of Tengxiang and the avant-garde of the government army were still inherited from their fathers and were palace guards for generations.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, those who could enter the army of the Son of Heaven were the most capable and loyal soldiers, but after three hundred years of wear, where did these soldiers still have half of their combat power.
The war is also a border war, and no matter how bad it is, there are still Beijing soldiers, who are just standing guard, patrolling, and pretending to be in the imperial city, so that when the army is besieging the city, these soldiers do not play the slightest role.
To put it mildly, Tengxiang Siwei and the avant-garde of the government army are just places where courtiers, nobles, and relatives stuff their families into it, and in the daytime, it is a group of pigs raised by the imperial court.
However, this pig can neither be eaten nor used, not to mention the consumption of food and money, and it is possible to arch its own master at a critical moment.
"But has the Teng Xiang Fourth Guard Battalion committed any crimes?" Zhu Cihong doesn't know it, but he has a good advantage, so if he doesn't understand, he asks.
And compared with his father Chongzhen, he is a better student, Chongzhen is not ashamed to ask at most, he obviously doesn't understand, and every time he asks, he looks like he considers Liu Hongji.
Of course, Zhu Cihong is only like this to Liu Hong.
While speaking, Luan arrived at the lecture hall, and when there was something to discuss, Liu Hongjian simply suggested that the party go back after eating in the lecture hall.
Gu Jia was flattered when he heard this, and hurriedly ordered the chef of the martial arts hall to buy the ingredients, and also told him to buy the best and safest.
Zhu Cihong did not care, and signaled that the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries could return to Beijing on their own, and he and Liu Hong gradually went to the luxurious villa reserved for the mountain chief in the lecture hall.
This villa is located in the northwest corner of the lecture hall, it is also a red brick building with the main body of reinforced concrete, a circle of fences encloses a simple courtyard wall, and a lot of green plants are planted in the courtyard.
Entering the house, the first floor is the reception room, and the Ming-style nanmu furniture is in line with Zhu Cihong's aesthetics, but I was a little surprised when I went up to the second floor.
The second floor is based on the layout of the dormitory when Liu Hongjian went to school in later generations, except for the four bunk beds, the tables and chairs are made of wood, but the appearance is different from what Zhu Cihong saw.
Of course, it was different, it was the typical wooden table and wooden chair in the later universities, and even the paint was only casually brown.
There were some books and pots and pots on the table, and the beds were very clean.
This is just Liu Hong's improvisation to miss the time of the future, anyway, he doesn't live here much, just to come and take a look when he thinks of the roommates in the future.
Fat man, Lao Xu, Lao Meng, pistol, Zhu tail, who is the fool on my top bunk, you who are silent......
Occasionally, when lying on the lower bunk to reminisce, Liu Honggradually always thought that one day when electricity was popularized and an electric bulb was installed in the house, it would really be like in later generations.
"Brother Liu, this place is really good, this decoration style is the first time I've seen it." Zhu Cihong looked around, sat on the stool for a while and was not satisfied, and climbed onto the bed again.
The bunk bunk is still very new to Zhu Cihong.
"You can take it easy, if you get injured here, you will have to be impeached by the courtiers again." Liu Hong gradually lay down on the lower bunk and said casually.
Zhu Cihong was lying on the top bunk, which was really the answer to the brother who was on the top bunk.
"It's okay, everything is fine, but why did Brother Liu suddenly talk about the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp just now?" Zhu Cihong lay on the pavement.
He had time to ask the huge companion who accompanied him just now, and he was replied that there had been no major incidents in the Tengxiang Fourth Guard Battalion recently, and there had been no major disciplinary violations.
"It's nothing, the minister just has some ideas recently, and I want to discuss it with the emperor to see if it works." Liu Hong gradually paved the road below.
The imperial court is rich now, and it can afford to raise such a large group of pigs that eat white food, but this matter involves the placement of the first phase of the martial arts hall.
At present, because the lecture hall is a new establishment, the courses and lecture notes are not fully prepared, and like the Faculty of Engineering, the original two-year system has been taught for only one year, and the instructors have already taught all the courses.
It may also have something to do with the students, most of the first students of the lecture hall were low-level generals selected from the garrisons in various places, and most of the students of the engineering college were the children of craftsmen.
They already have a foundation in this area, plus the supporting facilities in the college are complete, so they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they learn relatively quickly.
Students of the College of Engineering can go out for training, and the placement of students in the lecture hall has become a problem, and it is common sense that they should be sent directly back to their original station and promoted according to their ability.
But Liu Hong gradually felt that it was almost meaningful, after all, the martial arts hall cultivated the future military generals of the Ming Empire, and ability is a piece, and loyalty is also very important.
Therefore, Liu Honggradually hit the idea on the head of the Son of Heaven's army, according to his idea, the students who graduated from the martial arts hall must first serve in the Son of Heaven's army, and during the service, they were mainly responsible for the security work of the imperial city.
In this way, these generals can see the Son of Heaven almost every day, and the emperor can also get a general understanding of these generals, and the emperor and the soldiers have understood and communicated with each other, and after a long time, the soldiers will naturally form a sense of belonging to the emperor.
This sense of belonging is not like that of the border army generals, but the innate awe of imperial power, but a real relationship, or it can be called an imperial party and a royalist......
After the expiration of the service period, this group of people will be assigned to various towns for appointment, and the emperor will naturally rest assured that those who are united will be able to succeed.
It's just that in this way, the original guards of the palace will inevitably be moved, which will involve the inner court, so he can't be the master of this matter himself.
"Brother Liu's suggestion is good, I think it is feasible, Teng Xiang Siwei and the avant-garde of the government army have long felt that it is useless, and the martial arts hall are all generals who dare to fight, if they are placed in the palace in advance, they will have fun when they enter the palace."
Zhu Cihong naturally understood the beauty of Liu Hongji's suggestion, he knew that this was Liu Hongjian helping him buy people's hearts, although he was grateful in his heart, he didn't say it on his face.
It is also true that if the palace guards are replaced by soldiers who absolutely obey his will and dare to fight, those officials will probably have to tremble when they go to court.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong couldn't wait to immediately issue an order to remove the avant-garde of the government army and the four guards of Tengxiang, so as to arrange for the students of the martial arts hall to enter the palace to escort them.
"I can't remember this matter, Your Majesty, not to mention how many people's interests will be involved in the direct reduction of so many troops, it will take some time just to verify the family history of all the soldiers in the martial arts."
It's not easy to be a palace guard, you must know that these guards are all guarded by real guys, if a spy sucks a cold child and stabs the emperor, it will be really whimpering.
First of all, it is necessary to find out the family history of all the soldiers, at least three generations ago, even if all of them are qualified, the more than 1,800 people in the martial arts hall are not enough at all.
Even if it does not include the soldiers guarding the inner city, but the guards of the imperial city must have at least one entire guard to be in charge, and one guard is 5,000 people, and 2,000 people are enough to do anything.
Zhang Guoxing, the palm print of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, is an old acquaintance with whom he participated in the defense of the capital, and directly abolished all the guards, how to explain this matter to Lao Zhang?
