Zhu Youzhen sat behind the handsome case, stroking the red and black-headed arrow with his left hand, holding his chin with his right hand, and his eyes scanned the generals in the hall.

Standing on his right hand below him were the guest generals of the Liaodong Army such as Man Gui, Shi Hongmo, and Yuan Xin, as well as the commanders and military ministers of the newly established battalion heads, but only seven or eight people.

Standing on the left hand below are the commanders and military ministers of the three battalions and the camp officers in each military camp, nearly twenty or thirty people.

After beating the drum three links, it was these people who signed up to enter, and the low-ranking military attachés were waiting in the courtyard outside.

The military attachés of the Beijing camp in the courtyard were neatly equipped today, and they stood aside without talking to each other, and no one dared to complain about the early morning of this morning.

In yesterday's mutiny, almost every battalion had non-commissioned officers involved, only about two or three battalion heads, because the battalion commander noticed that the soldiers of the other battalions were too frequent, and immediately ordered the camp gate to be closed and the sergeants were not allowed to go out.

The military attaches of the rest of the battalions were a little uneasy because some of their sergeants had gone out to participate in the mutiny.

The emperor personally patrolled the camp, and gathered again this morning, and some military attachés were already secretly calculating in their hearts, and today they don't know how many people's heads will be hung outside the gate.

Wu Fangyuan, who was temporarily serving as an officer in the emperor's ranks, walked into the hall and returned the arrow to the emperor and said: "The last general was ordered to carry out the order, and the number of soldiers should be two hundred and thirty-four, but the actual number is up..."

"Almost a third of the military attachés did not show up, and thirty-seven of them were sick and on leave, did these people take me for a fool?" Zhu Youzhen felt a little angry in his heart.

With Wu Fangyuan's report, the military attaches in the hall were silent, waiting for Chongzhen to deal with these officials who could not be targeted, so as to guess the emperor's way of governing the army.

Looking at Wu Fangyuan, who was bowing down and waiting for his order, Zhu Youzhen cleared his throat and said: "If you can't order it for no reason, it will be dealt with according to military discipline, and there is no doubt that the capital will be chaotic yesterday, and there is no doubt about the battle, so today's enforcement of military discipline is compared to wartime punishment." ”

Chongzhen's words suddenly made some military attachés in the hall sweat, and it was a felony to not be able to point out in the army for no reason, but in peacetime, it was just a heavy punishment for the military stick, and it was rarely directly executed. However, if it is compared to wartime, then it is better for these officials to really flee, otherwise it would be a capital crime to be caught.

Zhu Youzhen continued: "The military attache who was sick and took leave three days ago sent someone to give the decoction and medicine, and did not ask. The military attache who fell ill and took leave within three days went to see the illness with the imperial doctor. For those who are really sick, give decoction and medicine; Fake sick people, let them go to the edict to recuperate. ”

Wu Fangyuan accepted Chongzhen's order, and then walked out of the hall backwards to order his subordinates to carry out Chongzhen's order.

Looking at the generals who didn't dare to raise their heads with their left hands, Zhu Youzhen thought for a while and asked, "The battalion officers who didn't go out of the camp to participate in the mutiny yesterday stood on my right hand, right?" ”

Dong Yongwen, Liu Yingguo, and Luo Jingrong immediately came out to salute Chongzhen and said: "There are no sergeants in the two battalions under the jurisdiction of the ministers, please let Your Majesty know it." ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded slightly, and said to the three of them: "Then you go and stand on the right." ”

The three of them automatically lined up at the end of the line on the right, and then looked at their colleagues who bowed their heads and said nothing on the other side.

"Although there are sergeants who go out, but the number of outings is less than one general flag, they also stand on my right hand..."

As Chongzhen continued to divide, soon there were only 6 or 7 military attachés left in the team standing on his left hand. These military attachés represent the five battalion leaders and were also the main force of yesterday's mutiny.

Zhu Youzhen looked at these people, and suddenly became angry at them and said, "Are you all guilty?" ”

Li Shangrong, Shang Guangyu and several other military attaches who were left in the left team immediately knelt down subconsciously.

Although several of them did not participate in the mutiny, they did not dare to stop these rebellious soldiers from leaving the camp, after the mutiny subsided yesterday. They originally thought that so many people mutinied, and the emperor would not dare to pursue it, so as not to provoke the soldiers of the Beijing camp again.

But unexpectedly, after only one night, the emperor began to settle yesterday's old accounts, and most of the colleagues in the Beijing camp were now returned to the other side by the emperor, and these colleagues in the army seemed to have no interest in speaking for them, so they had become scapegoats for the mutiny.

Li Shangrong walked a few steps towards Chongzhen's knee with tears in his eyes, and then shouted for himself: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged." Li Jintao, the commander of the battalion on the evening of the day before yesterday, once asked Wechen to participate in the rebellion, but Wechen really refused, Wechen sat in the camp yesterday and did not bring the rebels into the city at all? ”

"How many of you didn't participate, so you've done your duty? There are so many battalion leaders in the Beijing camp, and the most people from the other battalions are out of the thousands. There are only a few of you in the battalion, and how many people remain in the camp besides you? Is it human?

The imperial court handed over the Jingying soldiers to you, so that you could restrain and manage, not let you be mud bodhisattvas here. The sergeants at the head of the whole camp roared out, you can still sit in the camp, what are you doing in the camp? Will you tell me about it? ”

In Chongzhen's angry rebuke, Li Shangrong did not dare to defend himself anymore, he was a devout Buddhist, after the sergeant came out of the camp yesterday, he locked himself in his room and silently recited the Heart Sutra, trying to ask the Bodhisattva to bless him through this calamity.

Seeing these military attaches lying on the ground and not daring to move, Man Gui felt that he had just quelled the mutiny, and immediately disposed of all the generals of the military camp who were making trouble, I am afraid that for a while, the newly transferred military attaches would not be able to suppress these unfamiliar rebels at all.

No matter how incompetent these military attaches are, they are also familiar with these chaotic soldiers, and those are the leading soldiers, and only by managing these thorns can they eliminate the hidden dangers of the Beijing camp.

Thinking of this, Man Gui came out to intercede on behalf of Li Shangrong and the others, saying: "Your Majesty, although these military attaches failed to stop the chaotic soldiers from leaving the camp, they also failed to report the news of the mutiny to Yisi in time.

But after all, this mutiny happened suddenly, and several battalion officers intervened, and they could not prevent the soldiers from leaving the camp and reporting in time, which can be regarded as excusable.

Although the mutiny has been temporarily quelled, the person responsible behind it has not yet been clarified. The minister thinks that the person in charge may not be tied up. Instead of punishing these derelict officials now, let them make meritorious deeds and secretly investigate who among their sergeants is in contact with the outside? ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Shangrong and Shang Guangyu, and couldn't help but prolong his voice and said: "They can't even control the sergeants out of the camp, can they find out those traitors who collude with outsiders in the camp?" ”

Shang Guangyu suddenly said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the criminal will definitely atone for his crimes, and within ten days, he will arrest these traitors who colluded and caused chaos one by one." ”

Several military attachés who were kneeling on the ground suddenly came to their senses when they heard this, and they also echoed Shang Guangyu's words and asked Chongzhen for a package ticket.

Zhu Youzhen knocked on the handsome case in front of him, and after letting a few people stop, he said: "Well, since there is a general soldier in charge of intercession, and you guarantee it, then I will give you a chance."

I don't need you to arrest anyone, you can hand over the list to Wu Fangyuan in ten days. And after returning home, the military attachés of each battalion need to straighten out military discipline, and the sergeants are not allowed to leave the camp for ten days.

Let them all hand over the property looted by those rebels in the capital yesterday, register them one by one in each battalion, and then hand them over to Wu Fangyuan..."

After dealing with yesterday's incident, Zhu Youzhen then issued instructions for the vacancies in each battalion, promoted personnel from among the junior officers to fill the vacancies, and did not transfer personnel from the outside.

Hearing this, the mid-level military attachés standing in the courtyard became a little happier, making them feel as if the mutiny had come to an end.

When Zhu Youzhen handled all the things in the northern suburbs camp, Sun Chengzong, Shi Fenglai, Wang Zaijin, Yu Zhigao and others had already hurried to the northern suburbs camp to take Chongzhen back to the palace.

When leaving the camp in the northern suburbs, Zhu Youzhen said to Yu Zhigao and Wu Fangyuan: "After collecting the property looted by these rebels, we will immediately issue two months' military salaries, half of which are true and half of what is folded. In addition, military discipline officers are set up in each battalion, and in the future, non-commissioned officers are not allowed to leave the barracks without the consent of the military discipline officer. ”

Yu Zhigao and Wu Fangyuan nodded yes, Sun Chengzong looked at Chongzhen's instructions, and then stepped forward to advise: "Your Majesty, this matter of staying in the military camp overnight is too much Meng Lang, although it is a fluke, but the old minister also asks Your Majesty to consider it carefully in the future." ”

After Zhu Youzhen nodded in greeting, he replied seriously: "Mr. Sun's words are naturally golden and jade, but compared to when Taizu fell asleep soundly in the military camp, I just slept in the Ming army for one night, which is nothing.

The Beijing camp is the last barrier of Shenjing, if I can't even trust the soldiers of the Beijing camp, how can I sleep peacefully in the Forbidden City? ”

Sun Chengzong was silent, and Wang Zaijin hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the capital is already completely fine, and now the Beijing camp will be handed over to the ministers and other ministers." Please also ask Your Majesty to return to the palace, and also to appease the hearts of the people of Beijing. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at the generals behind him, and said to Wang Zaijin: "The Liaodong Army, the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and the meritorious ministers at home and abroad who quelled the mutiny this time can sort out a list as soon as possible and send the rewards before New Year's Day." ”

Wang Zaijin couldn't ask for this order, and compared with the weak soldiers of the Beijing camp, the civil officials in the court were more wary of the Liaodong elite cavalry under Man Gui.

Yesterday, in the midst of the peaceful turmoil, the Liaodong cavalry of 50 people easily broke up a team of hundreds of people on the street, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp were as weak as a flock of sheep in front of these cavalry.

The hard work of the Liaodong cavalry did not make the officials in the capital feel safe, but they felt that such a force should not exist in the capital. If Chongzhen had mastered such an army, I am afraid that he would be even more unscrupulous in doing things in the capital.

With such an idea, Wang Zaijin originally wanted to persuade Chongzhen to release the Mangui army back to Liaodong.

Now that the reward is to be carried out as soon as possible, after the emperor's reward, the border army should return to the garrison according to the custom.
