Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 803

After all, the matter of Gao Pragmatic's sales of weapons was just an episode, and he just took advantage of the opportunity to talk about it while the emperor was still riding on horseback. When the emperor's driver arrived near the parade, the topic would naturally come to an end.

Gao Yushi originally didn't intend to wear a military uniform. After all, he didn't wear the so-called "battle robe" when he was fighting in Annan. Leadership is uncoordinated.

In front of the military parade, the military officials and nobles had already knelt on the ground, and under the leadership of British Duke Zhang Rong, Ding Guogong Xu Wenbi, and Cheng Guogong Zhu Yingzhen, they welcomed the emperor's arrival.

Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Rong's complexion was sallow from the disease, and only his skin and bones remained, so he stepped forward to give him a hand, and said, "My lord, please stand up, and all your loves should also be at peace."

Zhang Rong couldn't stand up by himself at all, Zhang Yuangong and Zhang Yuande brothers beside him hurriedly helped him up from left to right.

The emperor couldn't help but sighed in his heart when he saw it, and said with concern: "My lord, after the work is over, you should go back to rest earlier, and you don't need to accompany the follow-up procedures. I feel sorry for seeing you like this."

"Your Majesty... old minister, thank you Majesty Long En." Zhang Rong was a little emotional. He knew his own body, and he might not survive this year. Fortunately, the Emperor still cared about the British government, which made him somewhat comforted. .

In fact, Zhu Yijun is not a person who is very good at expressing his feelings except for being highly pragmatic. Although he was a little frustrated, he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod his head, and confessed to Zhang Yuangong and Zhang Yuande: " Take good care of the old man." Then he turned and went to the stage.

At this time, Gao Wushi couldn't steal the word, so he nodded to Zhang Rong and the two brothers, followed Zhu Yijun up, and stood beside Zhu Yijun.

Wu Dui, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, was obviously the natural host of this grand reading. He first came up to greet the emperor, and then asked the emperor if it would start now.

Zhu Yijun couldn't wait a long time ago, and waved his big hand and said, "Start immediately."

Wu Dui immediately walked to the front of the middle and gave orders to a kind of honorable person in the audience.

The first person to get the order was Cheng Guogong Zhu Yingzhen. Although this guy doesn't know how to fight at all, he is Cheng Guogong and the current former military governor's mansion Zuo Dudu. He commanded the first batch of reviewers troops.

Of course, the term "commanded by him" itself is not accurate, because in fact, compared with before the Zhengtong years, the power and authority of the current five-army military governor's mansion have already declined badly. The guard under the name of Fuzuo Dudu also only has the right to command troops, but not the right to deploy troops.

In fact, there are only three things that the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion can do at present: manage military registration, manage farmland, and select generals. Even the most important power to lead troops as a military attache has basically been lost.

But in fact, even these three rights have been encroached on a lot by the Six Departments.

For example, in the management of farmland, during the Yongle period of Emperor Chengzu, "the governor's office of the five armies took charge of the government of the world."

In September of the fourth year of Jianwen, the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies issued an order to each of the divisions, "Order the guards to garrison fields as the old system, with one guard commanding one person, and one person from every thousand households in the guards being specially appointed and dispatched, and all commanding and inspecting them. Class work."

In September of the ninth year of Yongle, a sergeant of the guard station delayed the farming because he went to Beijing for drills, but the governor's office of the Fifth Army "must pursue it" to force the grain to be collected.

In March of the third year of Xuande, in the imperial edict issued by the emperor to the Dudufu of the Five Armies, he accused that "the cultivation of crops is a false name, and the food for soldiers is often not enough", and then required that the Dudufu of the Five Armies must "grow farming".

It can be seen that at this time, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is still fully responsible for the farming affairs.

However, with the establishment of the household doctor (or head) of the grain storage department, the management system of the governor, governor, household doctor (or head) and Bingbeidao gradually formed in Jiubian and other places.The specific reclamation of wasteland, clearing of farmland and other matters are in charge of the household doctor (or chief) and Bing Beidao.

In the past, the situation of military settlements was completely reported by the capital and guards to the Dudufu, and then transferred to the Ministry of Households.The duty of the Dudufu of the Five Armies to manage the farmland has been greatly weakened.

As for the selection of generals, the power was taken over by the Ministry of War, and even... even the Imperial Academy got a share.For example, in the current martial arts examination, two historians are selected from the Imperial Academy and Zhan Shifu as the examiners.

Well, for example, Gao Wuzhen is now at this level. Although he is a complete civil servant, it is not surprising if he is appointed by the emperor to preside over martial arts, although in name there will definitely be one or several princes at the same time. Acting as a martial arts examiner, but in fact, it is the two Hanlin masters who have the final say.

There is only one thing, so far it is still in direct control of the Five Armed Forces Governor's Mansion, and outsiders cannot intervene, and that is in charge of military registration.

Only those who are in charge of military status can live without pay.Therefore, the nobles would not give up this power even if they were beaten to death, otherwise they would not only lose their authority, but lose their wealth.

The number of military registrations in the former military governor's mansion in Beijing alone is supposed to be as high as 5 people, but this time, Zhu Yingzhen only selected 500 people for the sake of high pragmatism—this is already I tried my best, but the generals were selected from among the dwarves, and finally a group of barely visible "soldiers" were selected.

As for what happened to the rest of the people... about half of them are eating empty pay, and the other half are working and farming.

In fact, in the former military governor's mansion, there were only 5000 to [-] people who could occasionally gather for training, and the other governor's mansions were roughly the same.

In other words, the dignified Ming Dynasty Beijing Camp, theoretically the gathering place for the most elite troops, can barely be regarded as a combat force in fact, with a maximum of no more than 3 troops.

Fortunately, in addition to these soldiers from the Beijing Camp Guards, the defense of the capital can also rely on the squadron, but the strength of the squadron is only theoretically stable, and because the squadron is often sent out to work after arriving in the capital, so Various places are also not very active in selecting and dispatching troops.

The key is that the squad army's expenses are still in charge of the place where he was originally from, and the capital can at most give a little reward occasionally.If so, as far as the place of origin is concerned, it is natural to wish not to send a single soldier, so there are often disputes.

Although the number of troops was a little smaller, it had to be said that these soldiers from the Beijing camp were better than the frontier soldiers just by looking at their appearance when they came out.

Gao Wushi has seen frontier soldiers before. Whether it is the frontier soldiers in Xuanfu, Datong, or the guards in Guangxi, in Gao Wushi's opinion, they are basically like beggars, with all kinds of weapons and tattered clothes. Reliable.

And this batch of "Beijing elites" selected by Zhu Yingzhen, the mandarin ducks and jackets are all brand new, red and shiny; , these days, they have just been counted from the warehouse and sent to them for use.

Zhu Yijun couldn't see it, he just felt that this army looked very good, the so-called clear banner and strong armor.

Zhu Yingzhen took a sneak peek at the emperor, saw the emperor was smiling, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, recalled the semaphores learned in the surprise attack, waved the small flag in his hand twice, and the flags and drums next to him changed immediately.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Zhu Yingzhen's movements are wrong. The flag drummers below have been instructed. Don't watch how the Duke waved the small flag in his hand, just follow the "dress rehearsal" movements in advance - anyway, the soldiers below It will only change according to the "dress rehearsal" situation. If it is really a temporary order, the following will not work at all.

As the situation changed, the formation of the 500 people was also changing. It changed three times in total. I don't know—after all, although Zhu Yijun forced him to be named a famous general (civilians in Ming Dynasty could also be called famous generals), he was actually only a half-baked guy.

However, this rehearsal was almost perfect in Zhu Yijun's view, but Gao Yushi, who had been in contact with the military anyway, found something was wrong-why was there still someone rushing to shoot it?The fast-paced drumbeat of the attack has not yet ended, and it has not been replaced by a heavy and slow retreat drum. Why have the soldiers below started to retreat as a whole?

After being stunned for a while, Gao Wushi took a look at Wu Dui and Zhu Yingzhen, especially after carefully watching Zhu Yingzhen's performance, before he finally affirmed: Damn it, this is acting!

Zhu Yingzhen's command was inconsistent with the pace of the banner drummer. The banner drummer sometimes grabbed Zhu Yingzhen's beat, while the soldiers below did not follow the banner drummer's pace. The soldiers sometimes grabbed the banner drummer's beat.

In such a comparison, many of Zhu Yingzhen's conductors were two beats behind!
Gao Wushi broke out in sweat all of a sudden, I'll go to your uncle, I stayed in Yanjing for ten years, relying on you actors to guard? !
However, Zhu Yijun, who was even more uninitiated than him, didn't notice it at all. He only felt that although the soldiers occasionally appeared to be out of step, the overall rehearsal was still good, and the various changes were smooth and smooth, without any lag. It's just that the number of such elites is relatively limited - it's not that the emperor doesn't know that the Beijing camp is empty.

Zhu Yijun was so satisfied, he turned his head and smiled at Gao Wushi: "Sincerely, I remembered what you said about Zheng Song, the thief: the sound of the squad moves when the north wind rises, the sword energy rushes and the south fights flat. If the sound is silent, the mountains collapse. , the situation will change if you dominate it. If you use this to control the enemy, no enemy can be destroyed; if you use this to make merit, how can you not succeed!"

The young emperor was high-spirited, pointed at the actors in the audience and laughed loudly: "I have such an elite, why worry about the unrest in China and the injustice in all directions? To be practical, what do you think of this Beijing camp?"

Gao Wushi forced a smile, and said dryly: "What the Holy Majesty said is very true, today's performance, uh, this performance... is really wonderful!"
