Along with the order of Wang Tingchen and others to serve in the Beijing camp, there was also the formal appointment of the chief military officer of Jizhen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Emperor Chongzhen's light car Jian went to Juyong Pass to inspect the defense, and executed the news of Wang Chengyin, the general of the Guanguan and Liu Ce, the marshal of Jizhen in the city of Juyong Pass, until now, it was officially made public in the form of a court edict, and at the same time there was also an order on the appointment of You Shiwei, the chief soldier of the Jianchang battalion, as the chief officer of Jizhen.

Of course, this news made the courtiers even more uproar, and one after another the ministers wrote to criticize the emperor for being too reckless and hasty in this matter.

However, after these recitals were dredged into the General Administration, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response at all.

Today's Emperor Chongzhen knows the temperament of these civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty, so he will not send any of the concerts that take the opportunity to discuss and invite names, and will not reply or deal with them.

Because he knows that once you start a serious battle with these gossip officials who make their profession the words and things of the book, then you will lose.

To deal with these people, you have to learn the method of Emperor Wanli, that is, to see the strange and not to blame, and to defeat yourself.

Emperor Chongzhen and Sun Chengzong, who came back after purging Liu Ce's forces in Jizhen, and the other two ministers of military aircraft, after some discussion, quickly made up their minds to appoint You Shiwei as the chief military officer of Jizhen and continue to lead the Jianchang battalion.

At the same time, the General Military Office of Jizhen moved to Zunhua, and ordered You Shiwei to rectify the guards at various passes along the border of Jizhen nearby, verify the soldiers against the soldiers' registers, and refer to the law of building a fortress in Liaodong to rebuild the mouths along the border and Zunhua City.

Historically, in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji led the Jianyu army to attack the land of Gyeonggi from Xifengkou and Daankou in the north of Zunhua.

After the reappointment of the chief military officer of Jizhen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to reprimand Shi Bangyao, the imperial history of the Jizhen supervisory army, and reprimanded him for failing to fulfill the duties of supervising the imperial history of the army, resulting in the abolition of armaments along the Juyong Pass, and the loss of people and land.

Shi Bangyao also hurriedly went to the top and asked for punishment.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to fulfill his duties, it's really that he was originally just a member of the Ministry of Industry, and he was suddenly given the burden of the imperial history of the Jizhen Supervisory Army, and Liu Ce, the chief military officer of Jizhen at the border of Jiuzhen and the marshal of the general seal of the Northern Expedition, was on an equal footing, and he lost his confidence in his heart.

If Liu Ce cooperates, it's fine, but if he doesn't, how can Shi Bangyao, an outsider who has no foundation in the border army of Jizhen, promote the entire Jizhen to rectify according to his own wishes.

Whenever there is a clear will of the emperor, such as the self-built supervision of the standard battalion, as well as the Jianchang battalion and the Santun battalion in front of the fortress, the Changping battalion that exists in name only, Shi Bangyao has resolutely promoted the implementation with the sword of Shang Fang, but the investigation and rectification of the border guards along the direct interests of the generals and officials in Jizhen has always progressed slowly.

Now that the emperor has issued an edict to reprimand, although he is unhappy in his heart, there is no way to cry out for injustice, after all, this is the responsibility given to him by the emperor at the beginning, and he is not ignorant of the situation in Juyongguan, but he has nothing to do.

After the affairs of Jizhen were arranged, the time had entered the middle of November of the first year of Chongzhen.

On November 12, Emperor Chongzhen first summoned the cabinet ministers in the Wenhua Palace, and entrusted all the complicated follow-up matters of Emperor Xizong's funeral to Li Guowei, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xu Guangqi, the cabinet minister and secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to act on his behalf, and then moved to the Wuying Hall to discuss with the three ministers of military aircraft.

When they arrived at the Wuying Palace, the monarchs and ministers sat down and stood by others. Emperor Chongzhen pondered and said: "Recently, there has been a lot of discussion in the imperial court about the rectification of the nobles, the Beijing camp and the guard. Some of the officials and the imperial history also wrote to impeach you, and presumably Qing and others have also heard of it. ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen paused slightly, looked at the heavy faces of his loyal ministers, and then continued: "For these discussions of impeachment, the Qing and others don't have to care, just be a rabid dog."

"The Beijing camp is unusable for a day, and the Beijing division is difficult for a day. Therefore, rectifying the camp is something that I have been trying to do since I ascended to the pole.

"Now, with the help of all Aiqing, I have finally taken the first step. Although it is a first step, it is a rare big step.

"Qing and others have gone through three dynasties, and they know more about my father and brother's actions than I do. The first emperor was also determined to rectify the Beijing camp, but repeatedly gave up halfway? Why?

"I thought that my imperial father and brother only saw the abolition of the Beijing camp, but did not see the crux of the abolition of the Beijing camp. If we don't get rid of the moth-eaten vampires attached to the Gyeongyeong, the rectification of the Gyeongyeong camp is just empty talk, and if we don't get rid of the noble and reckless nobles and military ministers who are corrupt and bent the law, it is also an empty talk to investigate and rectify the Gyeonggi Guard. That's why I'm doing this.

"It's a pity that there are many ignorant people in the court who can't see this, thinking that I rectify the noble and military ministers of the capital for the sake of their family wealth, or because of their words, they write a book one by one to scold me for being greedy and murderous.

"Qing has been by my side for a long time, and I know something about me, so I don't need to explain it anymore."

When Zhang Weixian, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua and others heard this, they all bowed down and said: "Since Your Majesty ascended to the pole, he has eaten and eaten at night, and he has been sleeping at night, and the ministers and others have all remembered it vividly and admired it. A few ministers, who can't see this, write to your majesty, it's really insignificant, your majesty doesn't have to care. Your Majesty's heart is known to the ministers, and Your Majesty's will is willing to be done. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and said, "With the full support of Qing and others, and solid assistance, there is nothing I can't do." ”

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "I mean, after the three battalions of the Beijing Division are cleared, rectified, adjusted and enriched, they will be redivided. In addition to the Shenji Battalion, which continued to stay in the Imperial City of the Jingshi Division, the five military battalions and the three thousand battalions were to be moved to the key places in Gyeonggi. Where did the Qing and others think that the 5th Army Battalion and the 3,000th Battalion would be good to move to Gyeonggi? ”

Listening to what the emperor said, Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, and Zhang Weixian looked at each other and exchanged glances with each other, and finally Sun Chengzong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty's intentions, the ministers and others are known." Nowadays, there is a new army training camp in Zhuozhou in the south of Jingshi, the first town of the new army of the emperor and Ming in Dongtongzhou, and the town of Rehe outside the Saiwai in the north and the Santun camp and Jianchang camp along the border of Jizhen, and the defense of Gyeonggi is much better than that of the previous generation.

"But His Majesty made a discussion in Juyong Guancheng, which made the ministers suddenly open. From the minister's point of view, in order to prevent Jianyu from making a detour to Monan Mongolia and knocking on the border, only Juyong and Miyun need to be garrisoned in Gyeonggi today.

"If Your Majesty is determined to move the five military battalions and the three thousand battalions to the suburbs, then among the ministers, the five military battalions can be moved to Juyongguan, and the three thousand battalions can be moved to Miyunwei. In this way, the land of Gyeonggi can be preserved. ”

When Sun Chengzong and Li Banghua were in Juyong Pass, they listened to the emperor's discussions, and they already had the idea of deploying heavy troops in Juyong Pass and Miyunwei, but at that time they couldn't think of where to send heavy troops to deploy them.

Therefore, as soon as Sun Chengzong finished speaking this suggestion, Li Banghua immediately stood up and said: "What Elder Sun Ge said is extremely true, and the minister seconded it!" ”

Two of the three military ministers have already reached an agreement, and the British public Zhang Weixian, who is now in a delicate situation, is certainly not convenient for public opposition.

Although he disagreed with the idea of splitting the three battalions of the Beijing Division and stationing them separately, and moving the five military battalions and the three thousand battalions to the outskirts of Gyeonggi, he had no suitable reason to oppose it at this time.

When the emperor's eyes turned to Zhang Weixian, he bowed and said, "The minister has no objection!" ”

Subsequently, the guards of the Military Aircraft Department quickly drafted the will, and after reviewing it for the emperor, they covered it with a jade seal and sent it out of the Forbidden City, and sent it to the garrisons of the five military camps and the three thousand battalions respectively.

After deciding on this easy matter, Emperor Chongzhen continued to discuss with the three ministers of military aircraft.

Emperor Chongzhen said: "To consolidate the defense of Gyeonggi, in addition to the five military battalions moving to defend Juyong Pass and the three thousand battalions moving to defend Miyunwei, I think there is another major thing to start as soon as possible. ”

After hearing this, the three ministers of military aircraft all looked up at the emperor and waited for the following.

I only heard the emperor continue: "The prefecture and the health center of Gyeonggi are intertwined, and the political situation and the people's feelings are complicated, which is rare in history. Nowadays, there are heavy garrisons in the southeast, northwest, and northwest of Gyeonggi, and at the same time, the garrison Tuntian has been occupied and the military households have been lost, and the armament has long been slackened and useless.

"Now the imperial court has taken a heavy hand to rectify more than a dozen princes and uncles who have been annexed and occupied the most serious in the land of Gyeonggi, and more than 170,000 hectares of cultivated land have been cleared and confiscated."

When Emperor Chongzhen just got the report sent by Jinyiwei and Dongchang, he also sighed in his heart.

At the beginning of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng measured the acres of land in the world, and the cultivated land in the three provinces of Beijing and 13 provinces, totaling about 7.3 million hectares.

Now in the entire land of Beizhili Gyeonggi, even if you count all the arable land in the guards and prefectures and counties, it is about 600,000 hectares at best, and after deducting the granges of the previous emperor's Huangzhuang and Wei Zhongxian, how much arable land is left?

And the less than twenty princes and uncles in front of them alone occupy nearly half of them. In this case, how can you let ordinary people live?!

But now, the land confiscated by the emperor's donation of Huangzhuang and the killing of the eunuchs has been reclaimed by the Zhili Governor's Mansion on a large scale, and it has been allocated to seventy-seven eighty-eight.

Most of the displaced people from Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan who gathered in Gyeonggi after July of the first year of Chongzhen have been successively sent and resettled to the border areas outside the Saiwai to open up wasteland and reclaim land.

Now that there is such confiscated land, the pressure on recruiting people to settle land will suddenly be much less.

Of course, although the military households in the Gyeonggi Prefecture Guard System have been reduced to tenant farmers of the noble family, the land cultivated by these people cannot just be confiscated. After all, these people also have to eat and survive.

Therefore, looking at the military minister who was still surprised in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Since the military camp around Gyeonggi has long been useless, I don't want to simply change the state and county of the guard station, change the military household to the national registration, and at the same time change the post of the guard station to the state and county officials. The imperial court can not only increase taxes, but also have their own land for those who are registered in the military households, so that the government and the people can have the best of both worlds. ”
