Zhu Youzhen looked at the sergeant below and said, "To be honest, I am very disappointed after watching the performance of the gentlemen. Zhujun is the dry city of the country, and it is also the last barrier of Shenjing.

However, before the princes met the enemy, they had already lost their armor and were defeated. The safety of Shenjing and my life are entrusted to you, but what? ”

After Chongzhen walked into the sergeant and checked the weapons and armor, the ministers and military attachés of each battalion standing on the stage were already panicked. Now when I heard Chongzhen's questioning words, I felt like I wanted to faint.

However, the sergeants in the audience reacted very differently to Chongzhen's words. The sergeants who had been inspected by Chongzhen himself, and some of the other young sergeants bowed their heads, ashamed of Chongzhen's words.

And more than half of the sergeants have no feeling for this, these people are either old fritters who have been rolling in the Beijing camp for more than ten years, or so-called market warriors who have been brought in to fill the number. For them, except that the silver is true, this kind of emperor's ridicule is just the wind in their ears.

There are also some soldiers who are not convinced, they are obviously cavalry, but Chongzhen does not allow them to ride horses, and let them run with the infantry, which is really ridiculous.

Seeing the several emotions of the sergeants in the audience, Zhu Youzhen turned to a few words of relief, except for rewarding some soldiers who ran in front, he did not punish those who lagged behind.

Although this made the soldiers who were waiting for Chongzhen's patrol here early in the morning a little disappointed, they also realized that they were not rewarded because they did not meet the standards, and their grievances were not serious.

Chongzhen said at the end that after 10 days, he will come again to patrol the three major battalions, hoping that everyone will be prepared.

Before leaving the school, Zhu Youzhen called Yu Zhigao and said: "This Rong government drill, the way of managing the health center must be changed, from personnel management to drills must be all controlled by the Rong government, and in the future, the health center will only be responsible for conscription or discharge."

In addition to the newly formed battalion leaders today, the remaining battalions have begun to prepare for the dismantling of their establishments. I didn't have the time to play any tricks with them to check the vacancies, so I transferred those who were available to the new battalion, and the useless ones didn't bother, and every 10 days I removed a battalion that was behind in the competition. ”

Yu Zhigao asked a little uneasily: "The new battalion that Your Majesty is preparing to set up will only have 4,075 people at full capacity, which is less than one-fiftieth of the original quota in the Beijing camp?" ”

Zhu Youzhen turned around and looked at the school yard behind him and said: "If there are 4,000 elites who are prohibited by the order, even if such a soldier is full of 250,000 people, he is just a chicken. ”

Then Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned his gaze to Sun Yunfang, the eunuch of the Jingying Supervisory Army, and his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Sun Yunfang, are you guilty?"

Chongzhen's question made Sun Yunfang, who had long been panicked, suddenly fall to the ground, and replied tremblingly: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is guilty." Please be gracious to Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Youzhen was a little strange at this time, so he asked, "Are you guilty?" Okay, so tell me, what crime have you committed? ”

"The ministers and the army have no way, so that the officers and men of the three battalions are negligent in training, and the military discipline is lax, which is the sin of the ministers." Sun Yunfang replied quickly.

"That's it? What else? Zhu Youzhen was obviously dissatisfied with Sun Yunfang's answer of avoiding the important and trivial.

Sun Yunfang couldn't answer during the period of Ai Ai, and he would only kowtow blindly. Zhu Youzhen waited for a while before he said: "I don't want to chase the past to the end, give you 10 days, you are in the three major battalions of the prison army, take out the weapons, armor, and silver taels of horses equipped with a guard, and I will end here, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings." ”

Zhu Youzhen instructed Lian Shanxiang behind him: "In the past few days, send a few people to serve this grandfather-in-law, don't let him be too tired." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Lian Shanxiang received the order, he took a few steps back, and gave a few orders to the Jinyi guard beside him, and immediately the two of them ran behind Sun Yunfang and took him away.

Zhu Youzhen said to Yu Zhigao again: "I have withdrawn all the ministers of the Beijing camp today, Yu Qing will let it go, and report directly to me if there is any problem." If there are disobedient military ministers, they should be withdrawn, and they should be driven away, and there is no need to worry. Before New Year's Day, I hope that there will be only one voice in this camp. ”

Although Chongzhen gave him a lot of power, Yu Zhigao still hesitated and said: "But Your Majesty, the minister heard that the cabinet may order the Beijing camp to go out of Beijing to quell the rebellion. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Yu Zhigao, he really hated iron in his heart, he tried his best to transfer Xungui's control of the Beijing camp, and took over the armed forces of the entire capital in the name of cleaning up the Wenxiang Sect rebels, and now he has removed the eunuchs of the Beijing camp.

And this Fujian general soldier is still hesitating to be afraid of wolves and tigers, no wonder he will be beaten by Zheng Zhilong, he is really not even a father who can do anything, Zhu Youzhen thought so in his heart.

However, he didn't move on his face to comfort Yu Zhigao, "Don't worry too much, Yu Dudu just let it go, you don't have to take it to heart about the matter of cleaning up the rebels of the Wenxiang Sect." However, you can use the name of banditry to make those treacherous people retire voluntarily, and it also saves the court a retirement payment. ”

After hearing that there was no need to use the Beijing camp to exterminate the bandits, Yu Zhigao finally felt at ease, he only brought 5 family members to the north this time, and there were originally more than 10 people under Xu Xinsu and other subordinates, but after Xu Xinsu and others went to hold that maritime meeting, Yu Zhigao could only bite the bullet and come to rectify the Beijing camp with his bare hands.

A foreign military attache like him is not a figure in the eyes of these nobles, chamberlains, and even the generals of each battalion in the Beijing camp.

Naturally, the general orders he issued were either blocked back by the nobles and ministers, or they were violated by the battalion generals below and were not allowed to be implemented.

There are even nobles who send people to spread the word, asking him to be convenient with others, that is, to be convenient with himself, suggesting that he should not use Chongzhen's chicken feather order arrows to scare people.

If it weren't for Chongzhen's order to drive these nobles back to the mansion and think about it behind closed doors, Yu Zhigao would really want to go up.

Zhu Youzhen still cringed a little when he looked at Yu Zhigao, so he simply gave him another reassurance.

"In this way, Lian Shanxiang, you will temporarily supervise the military discipline of the Beijing camp in the past few days, and those who dare to disobey the order or those who serve the yang will be dealt with by military law, no matter what position they hold."

With Chongzhen's assurance, Yu Zhigao's brows finally relaxed, and he regained some confidence in Chongzhen and said, "The minister must try his best to complete His Majesty's task." ”

Zhu Youzhen comforted him a few more words, and then prepared to return to the capital with his attendants. However, as soon as the group walked outside the Desheng Gate, they met a group of civil officials who were about to go to the camp in the northern suburbs to find him.

Zhu Youzhen sat on his mount and counted, and about 3 or 40 officials stopped in front of his horse, in addition to Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, Han Yi and others, there were actually Xu Guangqi and Zhang Ruitu.

Zhu Youzhen's heart couldn't help sinking, just the Donglin Party came to him to protest, he didn't care much, but Xu Guangqi and Zhang Ruitu were also involved, something must have gone wrong.

Zhu Youzhen restrained the horse, and then dismounted with the help of Lian Shanxiang. Just like that, Shi Shiran walked over, and after making a no-nonsense gesture to the officials who saluted him, he asked, "Zhuqing, is there anything urgent to look for me?" ”

Han Yi took a step forward first, and then said to Chongzhen: "In the past, when Emperor Xianzong was in the past, the Shang monarch was a member of Wang Zhi, and there were scholars and doctors who were uneasy about their duties, merchants who were uneasy about the way, and ordinary people who were uneasy about the words of the industry.

Today, the minister used this language to participate in the Jinyi Wei Li punishment of 100 households Tian Ergeng, in vain disregard of the holy will, under the pretext of investigating the evil cults of the Wenxiang Sect, wantonly framed the minister, and indiscriminately arrested the officials of the imperial court. The minister asked His Majesty to expel the fields and cultivate the hearts of the people inside and outside the city. ”

Han Yi's voice fell, and Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou, Qian Qianyi and many officials behind him seconded the proposal, asking Chongzhen to punish Tian Ergeng and release the officials who were framed by him.

Xu Guangqi and Zhang Ruitu were hesitant and seemed to approve of these officials.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the two of them and couldn't help asking: "I am in the colonel field today, why don't Xu Qing and Zhang Qing tell me what they have done in this field to make Zhongqing so annoyed?" ”

After Zhang Ruitu and Xu Guangqi took a look, they opened their mouths to explain: "Tian Ergeng accepted His Majesty's order to track down the rebels of the Wenxiang Sect, and it was quiet for the first two days. But today, he arrested more than a dozen people in a row, including Feng Shikong, the right servant, and said that they were all rebel ministers of the court and the central government who colluded with the Wenxiang Sect.

The ministers questioned him, but there were only a few confessions from the arrested imperial historians, and there was no other evidence. The minister thought that Tian Baihu's move was too perverse. It is possible for the Smelling Fragrance Sect cult to confuse a few rebel ministers, but how can it confuse so many courtiers. If this is preached, won't it be laughed at by the whole world? ”

"This idiot." Zhu Youzhen suddenly secretly scolded Tian Ergeng in his heart. However, his face remained unchanged and turned to Xu Guangqi, and asked tentatively with his eyes.

Xu Guangqi said with a wry smile: "Qu Shiyun is also among the anti-party quotas, and Father Julius happened to be at his house, and he was also arrested at the same time. Father Kinney Pavilion and the others hope that His Majesty will release Father Julius, and they can guarantee that Father Julius has nothing to do with the Smelling Fragrance Sect. ”

Zhu Youzhen finally understood the general situation of the matter, so he beckoned Lian Shanxiang to bring the horse over, and said to everyone: "I know what Zhuqing played. I'm going to Jinyiwei to see what the hell this Tian Ergen is doing, so go back and wait first. ”

Zhu Youzhen got on the horse angrily, and rushed into the Desheng Gate from front of them with the guards.

Chongzhen's actions were so swift that these angry officials didn't react for a moment, and just watched the emperor slip away from them.

Yuan Chonghuan and Ni Yuanlu, who were standing among the officials, couldn't help but look at each other, and the two of them summoned these officials to intercept the emperor, not to simply let the emperor intervene in the affairs of the party, but to take this opportunity to force Chongzhen to deal with Tian Ergeng, the culprit.

But what they didn't expect was that Chongzhen was actually riding a horse instead of a car today, so when the emperor got on the horse and slipped away, the two people standing behind Sun Chengzong, Liu Zongzhou and others didn't have time to make any blocking moves.
