Chapter 674

"It's nothing, I mainly want to talk to the emperor about the four guards in Tengxiang." Liu Hongjian said without hesitation.

Although the guard system has been abolished at present, it is only for the guards stationed in various places in Ming Dynasty, and the Jinyiwei, Tengxiang Four Guards, and Fujun Qianwei who are directly under the emperor are responsible for tasks such as relying on the emperor and guarding the imperial city. reserve.

Although Jinyiwei canceled the hereditary system under Liu Hongjian's intervention, the four guards of Tengxiang and the avant-garde guards of the government army still inherited their father's business and served as palace guards for generations.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, those who were able to join the Tianzi's army were the most capable and loyal soldiers, but after 300 years of wear-and-tear, these soldiers still have half of their fighting power.

Fighting is also fighting at the border. No matter how bad it is, there are still soldiers from the Beijing camp. They just stand guard, patrol, and put on a show in the imperial city, so that when they break into the siege of the city, these soldiers have no effect at all.

To put it bluntly, the Tengxiang Four Guards and the Fujun Qianwei are just places where courtiers, dignitaries, and relatives stuff their own families. It is said that in the daytime, they are a group of pigs raised by the court for nothing.

However, this pig can neither be eaten nor used, not to mention consuming food and money, and it may even betray its owner at a critical moment.

"But did the Tengxiang Four Guards commit any crimes?" Zhu Cihong didn't know what to do, but he had a very good advantage, so he asked when he didn't understand.

Moreover, he was a better student than his father, Chongzhen. At most, Chongzhen was not ashamed to ask, and he obviously didn't understand, and he always seemed to consider Liu Hongjian every time he asked.

Of course, Zhu Cihong only did this to Liu Hongjian.

While talking, Luanjia arrived at the martial arts hall, just as he had something to discuss, Liu Hongjian simply suggested that the party should go back after eating in the martial arts hall.

Gu Jia was flattered when she heard the words, and hurriedly ordered the cooks in the martial arts hall to buy ingredients, and also urged them to buy the best and safest ones.

Zhu Cihong didn't take it seriously, and signaled that the cabinet and the officials of the six ministries could return to Beijing on their own, while he and Liu Hongjian went to the luxury villa reserved for the head of the mountain in the lecture hall.

This villa is located in the northwest corner of the Lecture Hall. It is also a red brick building with a reinforced concrete main body. A circle of fences forms a simple courtyard wall. Many green plants are planted in the courtyard. It is early spring, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom.

Entering the house, the first floor is the reception room, and the corresponding Ming-style nanmu furniture is in line with Zhu Cihong's aesthetics, but he was a little surprised when he went up to the second floor.

The second floor was decorated by Liu Hongjian according to the dormitory of the later generations when he went to school. Except for the four bunk beds, the tables and chairs are made of wood, but the appearance is different from what Zhu Cihuang saw.

Of course it's different, those are the typical wooden tables and chairs in later generations of universities, and even the paint is just a random brown.

Some books, pots and jars were placed in a mess on the table, but the bed was extremely clean.

This place was just improvised by Liu Hongjian to miss the later generations, anyway, he didn't live here very much, he just came to visit when he thought of his roommates in the later generations.

Fatty, Lao Xu, Lao Meng, Pistol, Zhu Wei, the idiot who is on my upper bunk, you who are silent...

Occasionally, when lying on the lower bunk and reminiscing, Liu Hongjian always thought that one day electricity would be popularized and light bulbs installed in the house, so that he would really look like a later life.

"Brother Liu, this place is really nice. It's the first time I've seen this kind of decoration style." Zhu Cihong looked around, sat on the stool for a while and was not satisfied, and climbed onto the bed again.

The bunk bed is still very new to Zhu Cihong.

"Take it easy, if you get hurt here, you will be impeached by the courtiers when you go back." Liu Hongjian said casually as he lay down on the lower bunk.

Zhu Cihong was lying on the upper bunk, which was really a response to the brother who was on the upper bunk.

"It's okay, everything is up to me, but why did brother Liu suddenly talk about the Tengxiang Four Guards camp just now?" Zhu Cihong lay on the upper bunk and said.

He just had time to ask his accompanying companion, and he got a reply that there was no major incident in the Tengxiang Four Guards Camp recently, and there was no major violation of discipline.

"It's nothing. I just have some ideas recently and want to discuss with the emperor to see if it works." Liu Hongjian said in the lower berth.

The imperial court is rich now, and can afford to raise such a large group of free-eating pigs, but this matter involves the placement of the first batch of students in the Jiangwu Hall.

At present, due to the fact that the lecture hall is a new one, the courses and handouts are not well prepared. Like the engineering college, the two-year system was originally set, and now it is only one year. The teachers have taught all the courses.

Maybe it has something to do with the students. Most of the first-term students in the lecture hall are low-level generals selected from the garrisons in various places, while most of the engineering colleges are the children of craftsmen.

They already have the foundation in this area, and with the complete supporting facilities in the college, they don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they learn faster.

The students of the engineering college can go out to practice, but the placement of the students in the martial arts hall has become a problem. According to common sense, they should be sent back to the original station directly and promoted according to their ability.

But Liu Hongjian felt that it was almost meaningless. After all, the martial arts hall trained the future military generals of the Ming Empire. Ability is one thing, but loyalty is also very important.

So Liu Hongjian put his idea on the emperor's army. According to his idea, the students who graduated from the lecture hall should first serve in the emperor's army. During their service, they were mainly responsible for the security work of the imperial city.

In this way, these generals can see the emperor almost every day, and the emperor can get a general understanding of these generals. The emperor and the soldiers have understood and communicated with each other. After a long time, the soldiers will naturally form a sense of belonging to the emperor.

This sense of belonging is not like that of the generals of the frontier army, it is just a natural awe of the imperial power, but a real relationship, or it can be called the imperial party, the royalists...

When the service period expires, these people will be assigned to various towns for appointment, and the emperor will naturally rest assured that only those who work together will be able to achieve success.

It's just that in this way, the original guards of the palace must be moved, which will involve the inner court, so he can't decide this matter himself.

"Brother Liu, this suggestion is good. I think it is feasible. I have long thought that the four guards of Tengxiang and the vanguard of the government army are useless. The martial arts hall is all brave generals. If they are placed in the palace in advance, when the officials enter the palace That would be fun."

Zhu Cihong naturally understood the beauty of Liu Hongjian's suggestion. He knew that Liu Hongjian was helping him buy people's hearts. Although he was grateful in his heart, he didn't express it on his face.

It's true, if the palace guards were replaced with brave soldiers who absolutely obeyed his will, those officials would probably be trembling when they went to court.

Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong wished he could immediately issue an order to abolish the avant-garde guards of the government army and the four guards of Tengxiang, so that students from the lecture hall could be escorted into the palace.

"I can't remember this matter, Your Majesty. Not to mention how many people's interests will be affected by the direct abolition of so many troops, it will take some time just to verify the family background of all the soldiers in the martial arts hall."

Wanting to be a guard in the palace is not an easy task. You must know that these guards are all accompanied by real guards. It would be a pity if a spy beat the emperor coldly.

First of all, we need to find out the family background of all the soldiers, at least three generations back. Even if everyone is qualified, there are just over 800 people in the martial arts hall, which is not enough at all.

Even if the soldiers guarding the inner city are not included, at least one guard must be in charge of guarding the imperial city. One guard is 5000 men, and 2000 men are enough.

Zhang Guoxing, the palm seal of the Yumajian, was an old acquaintance who had participated in the battle of guarding the capital with him, and directly abolished all Wugewei. How could he explain this to Lao Zhang?

 Thanks to the book friends who have won the throne and become immortals, Longlin Feiyu, and Drunken Lights and Watching the Ax for the 100 taels, and thanks to the book friends Mengsk for the 1000 taels.thank you all.
