Huang Liji finally raised his head and said tentatively to Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty plans to clean up the chaotic ministers in the court, to what extent?" ”

Wang Chengen looked into Huang Liji's eyes and said: "Your Majesty said that everything still needs evidence, as long as there is no evidence of banditry, at most, it is just to leave the post and go to Mr. Liu's official training school to study for a period of time." ”

Hearing that he was just sending these officials to study, Huang Liji suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and he said to Wang Chengen: "Then please wait for the factory to wait, wait for us to discuss one or two, and then tell the factory master the final decision." ”

Wang Chengen raised the tea bowl and motioned to Huang Liji and other ministers to take care of themselves. Half an hour later, Huang Liji, on behalf of the cabinet, expressed his willingness to serve the edict.

Huang Liji prepared the will according to Chongzhen's intentions and asked Wang Chengen to take it back to Chongzhen for a look.

Zhu Youzhen listened to Wang Chengen reciting to himself the holy decree prepared by Huang Liji, "... Jin Yiwei Baihu Tian Ergeng and others were innocent and meritorious, and all prohibitive measures were lifted, and the officials were reinstated. In addition, Tian Ergeng was appointed as one of the 100 households in Jinyi Wei, and was specially responsible for investigating the evil cultists of the Wenxiang Sect in various departments of the DPRK and the Central Committee.

Yu Zhigao, the general soldier of Fujian, was transferred to the post of governor of Beijing, and the military system of the Beijing camp was rectified. The relatives of the Beijing camp and the five armies of the Governor's Mansion and the Jinyi Guard went home to stand by and waited for the Jinyi Guard to conduct an examination, and those who left the palace without permission were imprisoned for the crime of collaborating with the enemy. ”

"Just use the seal, tell Tian Ergeng, and start cleaning up from the Three Law Divisions. Tell him to be in good measure, don't make a boil, and keep a low profile. Zhu Youzhen simply commanded.

Although Wang Chengen had been told to send someone on the way back to Beijing, in the past two days after returning to Beijing, Tian Ergeng's heart has been going up and down.

I am afraid that the next moment, a brocade guard will come to the door to raid the house and arrest people. But soon news of the popular uprising came from Shunyi, which was good news for him.

Although Tian Ergeng didn't understand why the Shunyi gentry, who had already won a big victory, had to get nervous, it was a relief for him.

The convicts who used to come to the door every day to take him to the church for interrogation are now extinct. Tian Ergeng immediately understood that the day of his reinstatement was not far away.

However, not long after getting up that day, Tian Ergeng heard a hurried knock on the door in the front yard, compared to the frightened looks of the family members around him, Tian Ergeng looked as usual and asked people to bring their official uniforms.

Sure enough, as Tian Ergeng expected, the holy decree brought by Xu Yingyuan not only reinstated him as an official, but also appointed him as the punishment of the 100 households for the investigation of the Wenxiang Sect cultists, which made Tian Ergeng not only overjoyed.

After Xu Yingyuan finished reciting the holy decree, he retreated left and right, and said expressionlessly to Tian Ergeng: "In addition to this, Your Majesty also wants to tell you a word from the miscellaneous family, first start with the three law divisions..."

When Tian Ergeng was accepting the will, the pro-army in the capital was directly 12 guards, from the front and rear guards of Jinwu, the left and right guards of Yulin, etc., all of them were taken over by Jinyi Guard.

The three major battalions in the capital managed by the Rong government, and the five city soldiers and horses division under the dual management of the patrol city and the imperial history appointed by the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Inspection Yuan, were all temporarily supervised by the Jinyi Guard.

The relatives who were originally responsible for the management of these armed forces in Beijing, although they were full of doubts, had to hand over the seal letter and returned to their own mansion to shut up.

Jin Yiwei took over all the forces in the capital, and this sudden change made the people in Beijing panic. In the afternoon, Zhu Youzhen put on a military uniform, abandoned the sedan chair and rode a horse, and took the Han general to personally inspect the five urban districts in central Beijing.

On this patrol in Beijing, Zhu Youzhen forbade the pro-army to clear the road in front, and did not ask the people of the capital to avoid it.

Chongzhen's tour reassured the people of the capital, but others were even more uneasy.

Since Emperor Zhengde, in addition to festival sacrifices, the emperor wore military clothes to patrol in Beijing, which was the first time.

Huang Liji and other ministers didn't think that Chongzhen would make such a big move, but at this time, it was too late for him to regret it.

Zhu Youzhen went out at dawn for the next three days, and did not return to the palace until dark.

On the first day, he first ran all over the 12 guards of Shangzhi, and began to meet with the general flags of each guard. After understanding the basic situation of the 12 guards, he ordered that in addition to retaining the Jinyi Guard, the Rider Guard, the Imperial Army Guard, the Jinwu Guard, and the Yulin Guard, the other 7 guards were all removed.

7 The guards that can be used are supplemented to the two guards of Jinwu and Yulin, and those who are unusable are either retired and returned home, or turned into local officials.

The next day, Zhu Youzhen went to the Wucheng Terracotta Division, because the responsibilities of the Wucheng Terracotta Division were partially duplicated with those of Jinyiwei, in addition to being responsible for public security, he also had to manage the fire ban and the task of dredging the streets of the canal.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division was immediately divided into three by Zhu Youzhen, the Patrol Police Bureau, the Fire Bureau, and the Municipal Bureau, and the old personnel of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were assigned to the Fire Bureau and the Municipal Bureau, and some Jinyi Guards, who were originally responsible for arresting thieves in the capital, were ordered to become patrol police.

Although the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, which was originally not subordinate to each other, was divided into three departments, after Chongzhen added three general bureaus, power became centralized.

These three departments were all placed under the name of Shuntianfu by Zhu Youzhen, and he relieved the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of War of the jurisdiction of the capital security by the way.

At this time, the center of the Ming Dynasty was panicking by the big case set off by Tian Ergeng, even if some people were dissatisfied with what Chongzhen was doing now, they had no time to take care of it for a while.

After Tian Ergeng accepted Chongzhen's will, he first arrested the officials who had been guarantors for the Shunyi gentry.

The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are the three legal divisions, and most of the original guarantees for the Shunyi gentry are the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If it was another case, for Jinyi Wei to dare to arrest Yushi so much, maybe there would have been hundreds of civil and military officials shouting injustice in front of the palace gate.

However, the big case of colluding with the Wenxiang cult and attempting to rebel made it impossible for hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China to support these imperial histories.

However, the silence of the officials in the DPRK and China did not mean that nothing had been done, and ministers such as Sun Chengzong, Han Yi, Liu Zongzhou, Qian Qianyi, and Lai Zongdao, unable to find Zhu Youzhen's whereabouts, successively asked Chongzhen not to expand the case of smelling incense.

On the third day, Zhu Youzhen went to inspect the three major battalions in the capital, namely the five major battalions, the Shenshu, and the Shenji.

The barracks of the three major battalions are outside the Desheng Gate and Anding Gate in the capital, and the barracks spread to 20 miles, and next to the barracks is a large school field, which is enough to accommodate 100,000 troops to train here.

The three battalions are rated at 250,000 soldiers, but in Chongzhen's hands, about 110,000 or 20,000 people are still receiving food and salary, but according to Chongzhen's continuous investigation, the number of the three battalions is barely about 70,000 or 80,000. It is estimated that there will be no more than 10,000 people who can really go into battle.

When Chongzhen arrived at the school field, tens of thousands of soldiers were dressed in armor and held flags, which was much more spectacular than the scene on TV.

There are 10,000 people without boundaries, and 100,000 people are up to the sky. Tens of thousands of soldiers in the Beijing camp looked like a majestic army against the backdrop of various colorful flags.

Yu Zhigao took the ministers and military ministers of the three major battalions to greet Zhu Youzhen at the gate of the school field, and when he arrived at the general platform, a military minister introduced the situation of the army under the stage for him.

On the left hand of the audience are the five military camps: divided into the "middle army", "left post", "right post", "left sentry", and "right stake" five armies, and there are 12 battalions, the enclosure battalion, the young official house battalion, the loyal battalion, and the service battalion. There is one governor and minister, two military ministers, two chief officials, one battalion officer, and two generals. Each military camp shall have one battalion officer, and one horse and infantry army commander.

On the right hand of the stage is the Shenshu battalion, which is divided into: 3 battalions, 3 chariot battalions, and 3 guard battalions, and 1 deacon battalion; There are 1 deputy general on the left and right, 2 each of the Lian Yong generals, the staff generals, the guerrilla generals, and the auxiliary generals, and 10 battalions are divided, and the total strength in the account books includes about 70,000 reserve troops. There are now more than 10,000 people on campus.

In the middle of the stage is the Shenji Battalion: the officers and soldiers in charge of training firearms and wartime escort horses, 2 battalion commanders, 2 military attachés, and 2 chief officers; The battalion is organized into five armies: the middle army, the left ye, the right ye, the left sentinel, and the right sentinel, each with 1 internal minister and 1 military minister, except for the four divisions under the Chinese army, the rest each receive three divisions; Each division has 1 gun supervisor, 1 officer, and 2 card officers.

Originally, there were more than 10 nobles in these three battalions, but now they were all driven home by Chongzhen.

After looking at the military appearance on the stage for a while, Zhu Youzhen asked Yu Zhigao: "Can I let these soldiers move?" ”

Yu Zhigao asked uncertainly: "Your Majesty wants to see the sergeant drill?" I wonder what kind of exercise Your Majesty wants to see? Or the drill of which army? ”

"First of all, I will ask you, who of the following troops has not had enough to eat?" Zhu Youzhen said.

Regarding Chongzhen's question, Yu Zhigao was a little baffled, but he still followed the emperor's will and asked the herald to pass on the emperor's question.

At this time, naturally, no soldier would drop the chain, so everyone replied that they were full now.

Zhu Youzhen continued to ask Yu Zhigao to convey the second question for him, "The unwell sergeants in each battalion, or the disabled sergeants, all went out to stand in the open space on the left side of the Dianjiangtai. ”

Although I didn't understand what Chongzhen wanted to do, the sergeants from the battalions below were not listed, but the originally noisy school field was much quieter.

Only then did Zhu Youzhen say: "The following troops, with each battalion as a unit, ran around the barracks on the right side, and then returned to their old positions on the school ground. ”

The barracks on the right that Zhu Youzhen pointed to was a small barracks about 3 miles in a circle. He estimated a little, and it was about 10 miles away in a lap.

Chongzhen's order made the ministers and military ministers of the Beijing camp a little dumbfounded, they didn't think that the emperor would not watch the drill, but let these soldiers run.

A partial general stubbornly admonished Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, there are so many people in each unit on this school field, if you run, I'm afraid it will be difficult to distinguish the personnel of each unit?" Even when they returned to the school grounds, the troops would be in disarray. ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized, he immediately said to Lian Shanxiang beside him: "This military attache is right, Lian Qianhu, you send a brocade guard to each battalion, let them count the number of people in each battalion, and see if anyone is left behind halfway."

And the first battalion of my left hand does not have to run, let them follow behind, and collect the sergeants who have fallen behind on the road. ”
