The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 101 Rectifying the Inner Court
Zhu Cihong not only planned to restore the West Factory, he also planned to start the inner factory as well.

From now on, the West Factory will be responsible for monitoring the East Factory, the Jinyiwei and the Fourth Military Supervisor, and the Inner Factory will be responsible for monitoring the yamen of the inner court.

In the next few days, Zhu Cihong also started a drastic reform and rectification of the inner court.

The 24 yamen of the inner court were either split up, reorganized, or canceled, and the rectification efforts were unprecedented.

The supervisor of ceremonies is responsible for approving red seals and taking charge of various seals.

Internal officials supervisor, responsible for the personnel and personnel recruitment and training of the inner court.

The Internal Affairs Supervisor is responsible for the miscellaneous affairs and logistics in the palace, such as Shangshan Supervisor, Xixin Division, Bell and Drum Division, Clothes and Huan Bureau, Scarf and Hat Bureau, Imperial Hospital, etc., all belong to the Internal Affairs Supervisor.

Purchasing Superintendent, all food items in the palace will be purchased by the Purchasing Superintendent in a unified manner.

The financial supervisor is responsible for managing the finances of the palace and distributing salaries.

The Audit Supervisor is responsible for auditing the finances of each yamen.

The penalty prison is responsible for judging offenders in the palace and executing them. In the future, no one may use lynching, and the death penalty must be reported to the emperor for approval before execution.

Business supervisor, in charge of the royal store and other businesses.

The manufacturing supervisor, under the jurisdiction of the Banknote Division, the Banking Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Internal Dyeing and Weaving Bureau, etc.

Then there is the Fourth Military Supervisor. Except for the Horse Supervisor and Ordnance Supervisor, the other two supervisors only set up a framework. In the future, the Fourth Supervisor will definitely be independent.

The ordnance supervisor will be fully responsible for the manufacture of weapons, firearms and armor uniforms for each army in the future.

There are more than ten departments under it, including Gunpowder Bureau, Artillery Bureau, Fire Gun Bureau, Swords and Guns Department, Military Uniform Department, Bow and Arrow Department, and Armor Department, with an unprecedented scale.

Whether it is the former craftsmen of the Palace War Bureau, or the blacksmiths and carpenters selected from the refugees, a total of 20 people and their families have been assigned to the Ordnance Supervision. They will be manufactured in the imperial city for the time being, and they will definitely move out in the future. .

Including the East Factory, West Factory, Inner Factory, and Jinyiwei, the rectified inner court has a total of seventeen yamen.

The Imperial Forest Army is directly responsible to the emperor, and consists of ten battalions, each with a commander. One of the battalions is a female battalion, responsible for guarding the harem, and the remaining nine battalions are responsible for guarding the imperial city.

With so many departments, it would be impossible without a chief executive of the inner court. After much deliberation, Zhu Cihong finally appointed Liu Xinlan as the chief executive of the inner court to coordinate and coordinate the affairs of the various yamen.

Of course, except for the three factories and one guard, these four yamen operate independently in principle, and the four military prisons will also be the same in the future.

"Xinlan, all departments must adapt as soon as possible and get up and running, especially the Commercial Supervision and Ordnance Supervision.

Within three months, branches of Huangdian will be spread throughout Beizhili, and within a year throughout the north, each county will have to establish a branch, and then spread to the south.

The Ordnance Superintendent should also pay close attention to making standard weapons, armor, bows and arrows, and military uniforms. Firearms can be put on hold for the time being. "

He can't stand the current equipment and uniforms of the armies.

The majestic Son of Heaven's pro-army wears all kinds of clothes, like beggars, and most of them still wear the costumes of the rebels at the time. They can't even compare with the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty. It's really outrageous.

Not to mention the equipment, the armor is also varied and tattered, and most of them don't have it yet, even the Mongols can't match it.

He also knows that it is difficult now, so his requirements are not high. For the time being, everyone can get a set of standard cotton clothes and new military uniforms, and the armor will be built slowly.

For the same weapon, he only plans to engage in four types of arms for the time being, sword and shield soldiers, spearmen, archers and cavalry.

So at present, it is only necessary to create standard waist knives, round shields, spears, bows and sabers.

As for firearms, we will not consider them for the time being, and we will wait until the hundreds of thousands of troops have changed into new uniforms and new swords and guns.

Because of this war, many soldiers' weapons were damaged, and more than half of the soldiers' knives and guns had gaps or curled blades.

"It's Your Majesty."

Liu Xinlan, the eunuch who had just taken office as the ordnance supervisor, and the chief female officer of the commercial supervisor all hurriedly answered.

All three felt tremendous pressure.

Especially Liu Xinlan, although the chief executive of the inner court has great power, she actually doesn't want to do it.

Because she knew that after becoming the chief executive, it would be a long time before His Majesty canonize her as a concubine.

But she also knows that His Majesty has no one to trust, especially among the eunuchs and maids of the inner court.

And the chief executive of the inner court is extremely important at first glance, so she can only do her best to keep an eye on these yamen for His Majesty.

After sending everyone away, Zhu Cihong gave Liu Xinlan some instructions, and then let her go to work, and then called Wu Xiang over again.

"Wu Aiqing, I plan to set up a yamen, which will be responsible for public security, theft prevention, fire prevention, cleaning and other matters in the outer city in the future. The name will be the Public Security Department. I plan to let you be in charge of organizing and managing this department. You can do it well. ?”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust, and I will never hesitate to die!"

Wu Xiang hurriedly replied, feeling a little excited in her heart, although the Secretary of Public Security was not a serious yamen at first glance, but she couldn't stand the real power.

This is simply the Five Cities Bingma Division.

"Okay, I still believe in Aiqing's ability. I will allocate a group of people from Jinyi Weidong Factory to you, and you will recruit some more yourself, and divide the outer city into streets..."

Zhu Cihong nodded, and explained to him the functions and regulations of the Department of Public Security.

In fact, the Public Security Department is a hodgepodge department that integrates the police station, traffic police, sanitation, and urban management.

Although it is also under the management of the inner court for the time being, it is not counted as an inner court yamen.

The Wucheng soldiers and horses will be responsible for guarding the city gates in the future.

"You have to restrain your subordinates, and then don't make things happen for me to oppress and exploit the people and merchants. Once found out, I only ask you, and the mess in the outer city must be vigorously rectified!"

"It's Your Majesty, I will definitely make sure the outer city is in order."

After Wu Xiang left the palace, he first received three thousand eliminated people from the Jinyi Weidong Factory, and these were almost all hooligans before.

One can imagine the great pressure.

Wu Xiang also knew that now his Wu family's family members are in prosperity.

One son was granted the title of marquis, and he became a general, commanding an army.

The other son was also granted the title of uncle, and served as the chief soldier under the imperial concubine, and now he is given the important task of His Majesty.

But the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. The more he knew at this time, the more cautious he must be. I am afraid that countless people will stare at his Wu family, waiting for the Wu family to make mistakes, and then write a letter of impeachment to ask His Majesty for credit.

Therefore, after the establishment and operation of the Department of Public Security, almost every day, he went to the outer city to inspect and supervise in person.

In just a few days, hundreds of people were punished and cleared, and the environment in the outer city began to improve, but Wu Xiang still did not dare to relax in the slightest.

But the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps blowing, no matter how careful the Wu family is, troubles still come to them.

I don't know when, there was a gossip among the upper class people in the city that Wu Hou's concubine, Chen Yuanyuan, was so beautiful that even His Majesty praised her for her beauty.

And that day when His Majesty went out of the city to resolve the supply dispute, he was also the first to go to the Wu Mansion and summoned Chen Yuanyuan, which showed how beautiful Chen Yuanyuan was.

Fortunately, Chen Yan, the former chief assistant who made up rumors about His Majesty a few days ago, was publicly hacked to pieces at Caishikou and executed in a hurry.

Otherwise, I don't know what will happen to this matter.
