Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 859 Using the Three Great Battalions to Suppress the Three Great Battalions?Chongzhen, have you lost your mind?
Soldiers revolt!

Murder Shangguan!

The shock that this news brought to today's civil and military officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty is indescribable.

They are all dignitaries aloof now, big figures who hold the power of the world and treat all people like ants, but they only have one life.

How many are they?

And how many people are there in the three major battalions of the capital?

20 million!
20 elites with good military literacy and rich combat experience.

These elites who once set foot in Monan and fought against [-] Manchurian cavalry on the grasslands, chased death and chased the north on the three thousand miles of Monan grasslands, played a powerful and powerful elite; The fierce soldiers of the enemy's mythology; these tigers and wolves who once attacked Annan in the south, destroyed the city, destroyed the country, destroyed its community, and destroyed its ancestral temple within ten months
What if the 20 tigers and wolves are turned against each other?
When the officials thought of this result, they couldn't help but shudder.

When Zhu Youjian heard the news, his first reaction was fury!
Incomparably furious, a group of Qiuba, isn't he good enough for them?

They actually wanted to rebel and killed Xungui!
What do these Qiuba want to do? !

"What's going on?! Why do soldiers rebel?!" Zhu Youjian roared angrily, and he hoped that the princes he trusted would give a satisfactory answer.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head. Of course he knew what was going on, but could he say it?
He said, that would offend the entire honorable class.

Don't look at him now as the leader of the nobles, but this leader's position was pushed out by the nobles. If it weren't for his surname Zhu, if it weren't for his ancestors who were heroes of Jingnan, if it wasn't for him being the Duke of the State.

If it weren't for the fact that all the other Dukes of the Ming Dynasty had been wiped out by Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, when would it be his turn to lead the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion?

There are many things that the emperor should not know. These are not only Zhu Chunchen's own thoughts, but also the thoughts of the nobles and Donglin.

If the emperor knew how the world was in chaos, how would the emperor think about them?
The people of the Chongzhen Dynasty are in full prosperity?
Wouldn't that be a joke?

Let's make a fuss, make a fuss for a while and calm it down, Daming is so big, the storm at 01:30 doesn't matter.

No matter whether you are noble or Donglin officials, they all ignore the anger of the people at the bottom, farmers, merchants, workers, craftsmen, craftsmen, those who have finally escaped from the humble slavery
The anger at the bottom has converged into one undercurrent after another. It seems that the world is still calm, but who knows how rough the waves are under the surface of the calm sea?
Maybe gather for another year, maybe gather for another moment, and the waves will form one after another, wave after wave, forming a monstrous wave that can sweep everything.

But what does it matter?

In this world, after all, his surname is Zhu.

Great Han Dynasty, Great Tang Dynasty, Great Song Dynasty, Great Ming Dynasty.
The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, but the emperor will never be able to rule the world alone.

Therefore, all the officials were silent, and so were the nobles. No one wanted to lift the cover, and no one wanted Zhu Youjian to know that his Chongzhen Dynasty was already rotten in the second year.

"Manchu civil and military, why did no one speak?"

"Could it be that this soldier rebelled, and is there something else I don't know about?"

Although Zhu Youjian is young, talented and loves to play, he is really not a fool. Looking at the attitude of the officials, Zhu Youjian felt that he seemed to have guessed something.

Finally, Zhu Chunchen stood up with a sigh: "Return to Your Majesty, the soldiers rebelled because they couldn't eat enough."

Zhu Youjian was stunned: "Didn't I distribute rice to the soldiers? Why can't I eat enough?"

Another civil servant took the initiative to cooperate: "Return to Your Majesty, rice and grain are too expensive now, and the price of treasure money. Soldiers are not only one person, but also support their families."

Zhu Youjian suddenly realized: "It turns out that they are going to rebel because of the lack of food and money?"

"These soldiers will rebel just because they lack food and money? Is there such a reason in the world?!"

"They are all my subjects, my generals, but they rebelled because of such a trivial matter, they should be killed!"

"Come here, pass the decree, let people go and destroy those rebellious rebels!"

Zhu Youjian waved his big hand and gave the order directly.

He absolutely can't appease these generals because they rebelled, otherwise, wouldn't all the generals in the world rebel?

Sun Chengzong really wanted to stand up and tell the emperor that there is no shortage of food and money is not a trivial matter, it is a major issue related to morale and the morale of the army, and the soldiers of the three battalions have not received a grain of rice for a long time, they only have those waste papers Ah!
But Sun Chengzong looked at the eyes of other people, and he was still unable to take that step. After all, he was also an old party. The price of tearing up this scar might make the emperor disappointed with Donglin. The old party of Donglin could not bear this price. And he couldn't bear the counterattack of Donglin's old party and nobles.

After all, Sun Chengzong's strength alone is too weak to fight with these Donglin old parties and these nobles. He, Sun Chengzong also has family members.

The little eunuch went to the three major battalions with Chongzhen's will, and Chongzhen's will was passed to the officers of the three major battalions, but these officers were very helpless.

The emperor's will will only make the three camps that were already restless completely boil.

Sure enough, when these officers conveyed the emperor's will and asked the soldiers in their battalion to suppress those comrades who killed officials, the soldiers in the battalion remained motionless.

A grumpy man couldn't help shouting immediately: "Are you all deaf?"

"Didn't you hear the imperial decree? Hurry up and get moving!"

But the soldiers remained motionless.

The irascible officer immediately lashed a soldier with a whip. He was about to curse, but he fell silent.

He saw that all the soldiers looked at him silently, the hidden anger in the eyes of all the soldiers.

No one spoke, the school ground was as quiet as winter, the silent attitude of the soldiers, and the eyes that stared at themselves made all the officers feel cold sweat.

The irritable officer stopped being irritable for a moment. He put down his whip and shouted: "Go back to the camp, everyone back to the camp!"

The soldiers dispersed silently, and when all the soldiers had left, he suddenly collapsed on the ground. He was really frightened by the eyes of the soldiers just now, as if they were looking at dead people.

These are the masters who came back from fighting on the battlefield. If these people really rebel, then the world of Daming will really be in chaos!
Soon news came back to the palace, and Zhu Youjian's expression turned ugly when he saw the news.

And Zhu Chunchen, Wen Tiren and others also guessed the situation.

In the hall, fell into silence again.

Zhu Youjian didn't want to compromise with those Qiu Ba very much, but now Zhu Youjian had to compromise again.

In desperation, Zhu Youjian had to make another decree: "Allow money from my internal funds, first send money to the soldiers, so as to appease the soldiers, and don't let the three major battalions get into chaos."

Zhu Youjian's internal treasury was the private small treasury of the Ming emperors. This small treasury guaranteed that even if the court had no money, the emperor would always have money available.

With money, the emperor will not be in a hurry, Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic, and the emperor can deal with various emergencies.

The person who has always received the most money from this inner money is not Sejong Jiajing, but Zhongzong Tianqi.

It was Zhu Youjian's good brother Zhu Youxiao. In the prosperous age of apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao let Zhang Haogu do whatever he wanted in those years, Zhu Youxiao's internal funds were full of gold, silver and tribute treasures from various countries.

After Zhu Youxiao passed away, a small part of this money was left to Zhang Yan as Zhang Yan's expenses in the palace, and the rest was in Zhu Youjian's hands, which was a large amount of gold and silver.

But even if he had money in his hand, Zhu Youjian was stingy and didn't want to use it.

But now he doesn't seem to have to.

20 soldiers, even one tael of silver per person, would cost 20, maybe one tael per person?

But Zhu Youjian was unwilling to pay for the excess, so Zhu Youjian decided to appease those troublemakers, five taels of silver per person, which should be about the same.

After careful calculation, there are only so many people making troubles, and five taels of silver per person will not cost tens of thousands of taels.

Zhu Youjian allocated tens of thousands of taels from the internal funds to appease the sergeants, but the tens of thousands of taels had been reduced by [-]% as soon as they were out of the internal funds and before they left the palace.

And when it was transferred to the Ministry of War in the middle of the court, half of it was left.

The servants of the Ministry of War also knew that this matter was very important, so it was rare to ask for only [-]%.

At the end of the three camps, only 3 taels of the original 9000 taels of silver were left.

But it has to be said that the officials are already very restrained.

Everyone knew that soldiers needed gold and silver to appease them, and they couldn't let the Beijing camp cause trouble, so everyone handled things quickly. It originally took more than ten or even dozens of days to complete the work, but all the procedures were completed in less than half a day.

And the money passed by everyone did not follow the usual practice, and each family only took a small part.

But this money has to be divided in the womb, the cabinet, the nobles, and the ministers of the various ministries. These big figures and the small people of each ministry add up to only [-]%, which is already a lot of face for Emperor Chongzhen.

Otherwise, according to the rules, half of the palace is gone, half of the cabinet is half, and the noble ministries are half, and those little people will intervene, even if it is 100 million taels of silver, it will be good to have 1 taels left in the end.

After the 9000 taels of silver were transported to the three major battalions, the officers hurriedly took the silver to appease the generals, telling them that the emperor knew that they were suffering and that it was not easy for them. Isn't this using the silver to comfort the big guys?

9000 taels of silver, but the officers didn't take a single cent, they gave it all away.

But how many people are assigned to the soldiers of the three major battalions?

It's only a tael of silver.

Holding this tael of silver in their hands, the sergeants became even more angry.

"From the first year of Chongzhen to the present, it has been more than a year. Every time there is no food, they are all given to Baochao. Baochao is more and more worthless, but the less it is issued, the Baochao can buy some food before. Now Baochao is used as a toilet. There is too much paper! Now that the imperial court has handed out this tael of silver, is it for beggars?"

"I waited to fight my life for the imperial court. Why? Why have I received this tael of silver for more than a year?"

"Yes, how much is our monthly salary? Is the imperial court's sudden payment of this tael of silver to humiliate us?"

"Could the imperial court plan to appease us first, and then attack us? It's like attacking Qi's army before!"

The fate of the Qi family army is a slide that cannot be mentioned.

But now that the soldiers speak out without any scruples, it proves that the soldiers are extremely angry.

It has been more than a year without payment. If the court has no money, it's fine, but how much money does the court have?
How much gold and silver and rice grain did the Apocalypse Dynasty leave to the Chongzhen Dynasty?

Why does the imperial court treat these soldiers who have made great military exploits for the Ming Dynasty like this?
The officers were very helpless. They comforted these puzzled, angry, and wronged soldiers again and again: "It's good to have this little money. It's just a few battalions of you. Look at the others. Who can get the money? Isn't it all the money?" Is it a treasure note?"

"If you have money, buy some rice first. The emperor allocates the first sum of money. There will definitely be more in the future. Don't worry, don't worry."

"It's not easy for everyone. Let's buy some rice and grain first. We plan to scrape together some money to buy some wine and meat for everyone. Don't worry, everything will be fine."

It was hard to appease the soldiers of these battalions here, and the officers were determined to buy wine and meat for the mud-legged people out of their own pockets, but the sergeants on the other side became even angrier when they heard the news.

"They're all from the three major battalions. Why do they have money and we don't? Just because they're making trouble?"

"Yeah, why don't we have any silver at all, and they can get it? What's the point of just giving us money!"

"Is there such a reason in this world? Why does His Majesty only appease them and not us? Are we not soldiers of Ming Dynasty?"

"Go to the general, ask His Majesty to ask clearly, why don't you pay us money!"

"That's why we don't have rice, grain and silver, only those waste papers, it's not fair!"

More and more soldiers complained unwillingly after knowing that several battalions had received the money.

We are all soldiers of the three major battalions, and we haven’t received their salaries and rice grains for a long time. Finally, we heard that the imperial court sent salaries to comfort everyone. In the end, 9000 taels of silver were distributed, and only a few battalions were paid. What are people?
On the one hand, the officers tried their best to appease the soldiers, but in their hearts they scolded Emperor Chongzhen like a dog!

They are all emperors, they are all the supreme beings in the world, and they are so fussy!
Is it the lack of money in the palace or the lack of money in the household department?

In the Tianqi Dynasty, the household balance was tens of millions every year, and the internal funds of the palace also received several million yuan every year.

How much do these add up to?
Is Chongzhen really short of this little money?

In the end, to appease the soldiers, just appease them a little bit, and give out one or two yuan of money. Such a petty thing, can an emperor do it?

Doesn't Chongzhen understand the principle of not worrying about scarcity but worrying about inequality?
The honorable officers were puzzled, they could only barely appease the soldiers at present, lest this wave really flood Shuntian Mansion.

However, the soldiers were really angry. The treatment was getting worse and worse, the food was getting less and less, the ordnance and ammunition were getting less and less, and the food and salary were gone. In the end, everyone became those honorable soldiers and slaves. If we let them drive us, our dignity will be lost, and our straight spine will be bent down, but what can we gain?
Now the emperor only took out this little money to appease the soldiers. The emperor really didn't pay attention to the soldiers. What did the emperor think of the soldiers of the three major battalions?

More and more soldiers condemned the imperial court and vented their dissatisfaction. Seeing that the entire three battalions were about to enter a mutiny, the officers who could not control the situation at all had to notify the emperor urgently.

Zhu Youjian, you can handle it yourself, we can't control it anymore!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the three major battalions are about to mutiny!"

After the news was spread to the palace by the scrambling little eunuch, the officials were stunned. The civil and military officials in the court looked at the little eunuch in astonishment, and then at Zhu Youjian who was sitting high on the dragon chair.

The three battalions are about to mutiny!
"Why? Didn't I all set aside the money? What else do those Qiuba want!" Zhu Youjian couldn't help being angry. He, an emperor, had compromised with those Qiuba. Are they still not satisfied?
The little eunuch quickly said: "Those battalions who received military pay are fine, mainly those soldiers who did not receive military pay. They are not happy, and they want military pay!"

When Zhu Youjian heard this, his face couldn't help but distorted: 3 taels was not enough, and he had to pay for it!

Zhu Youjian has been poor since he was a child. Whether he became a prince, went to the farm for a few years to exercise, or returned to Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Youjian was always poor.

He was really used to living a poor life, he didn't dare to spend money, and he was reluctant to spend money.

Now it's not enough to grit his teeth and take out [-], he still has to pay!
But it cost 1 to appease 10 people, wouldn't it cost 30 to appease [-]?
It costs 20 to appease 60 people?
60 taels of silver!
Zhu Youjian really didn't want to pay the money.

Even if the three major battalions are about to mutiny now, and the soldiers have endured to the limit and are about to explode, Zhu Youjian still doesn't want to pay.

For some reason, he has a kind of self-confidence. He believes that most of the soldiers are loyal and patriotic, they understand the difficulties of the court, and they are loyal to him, the emperor.

He thinks that mutiny or rebellion are only a small part. After all, his Chongzhen Dynasty was a dynasty full of righteousness, but he followed the old system of his ancestors. The nobles and the gentry help him govern the world, and the Ming Dynasty must be peaceful and the people are safe. How can there be chaos in the local area?

The place can't be chaotic, there are only three battalions, how can the chaos go?

Because Chongzhen is very confident, he thinks he can deal with the problems of the three camps, and even Zhu Youjian felt that it was a mistake to allocate the 3 taels just now, and he should not allocate a cent!
"The three major battalions rebelled, Cheng Guogong, you should deal with it quickly, immediately suppress the rebellious sergeants, and enact the official punishment to correct the king's law!" Zhu Youjian issued an imperial edict to the old Zhu's family, asking Zhu Chunchen to solve the three major camps. camp problem.

If Zhu Chunchen can't solve it, it's not too late to allocate money at that time. You can also say that you were deceived by Zhu Chunchen, and the emperor is right.

If Zhu Chunchen can solve it, that's even better, you don't have to pay more, what a great thing.

Chongzhen thought about his little thoughts, and felt that he was more than enough to govern the world. It is not difficult at all to be the emperor!

Zhu Chunchen received Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh, but he couldn't refuse Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, so he had to lead the order to the three camps to suppress the rebellion.

When he arrived at the Three Great Battalions, Zhu Chunchen was stunned after seeing the chaos of the Three Great Battalions with his own eyes. The entire Three Great Battalions were almost on the verge of mutiny. Who would he dispatch to suppress the Three Great Battalions?

Is it possible to use the three camps themselves to suppress the three camps?

I hit myself?
As soon as this idea came out, Zhu Chunchen felt very outrageous. When was the logic of his mind polluted by Chongzhen?
