The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 44 Planning the Beijing Camp!

Jingying?

Tang Hao was stunned.

Is this something he can go to now?
"Isn't the capital of Beijing in the hands of civil servants and gentry?"

To be honest, Tang Hao really didn't want to go to Jingying.

Since the Tumu Fort disaster, Beijing Camp has suffered a devastating blow. From then on, the pattern of noble families in charge of Beijing Camp was changed. Civil servants and eunuchs from the Ministry of War began to take charge of Beijing Camp as military chiefs, while noble military ministers were reduced to their subordinates.

The basic foundation of the distinguished military ministers is actually the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and the foundation of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies lies in the Beijing Camp.

Since the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty pattern has become one in which the Beijing camp takes the lead in fighting and the guards guard the borders.

Therefore, if an honorable military minister wants to achieve military success, it is undoubtedly the best choice to lead the field troops like the Beijing Camp into battle.

As a result, due to a civil fortress disaster, the power of the Beijing camp fell directly into the hands of the civil servants and gentry, and their base was destroyed by the noble and military ministers.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Chenghua placed great emphasis on promoting eunuchs and eunuchs, and placed admirals and eunuchs in the capital camp to check and balance the civil servants and gentry, and prevent military power from completely falling into the hands of the civil servants and gentry. From then on, it became a custom.

Therefore, in the current Beijing camp, the command power has been transferred to the hands of many forces - noble military ministers, admirals and eunuchs, and associate civil servants all have a share of the pie, restraining and balancing each other.

There are too many forces involved here, and too many people's interests are involved.

The old Duke Zhang Mao probably had some deep thoughts in asking him to go to the capital camp.

"What?" Zhang Mao said with a smile, "Are you afraid? Don't you dare to go?"

"You should also understand the situation in Beijing Camp. It can be summed up in one word, rotten!"

"The kind that's rotten to the core, so rotten that I don't even want to open my eyes to see it or close my eyes to think about it!"

Zhang Mao sighed, his tone was very cold.

"In the past, the warriors who followed Emperor Taizong Wen (Zhu Di) to conquer the north and south have now become tools for others to make profits, and the soldiers have also become slaves and servants who build mansions for the powerful!"

"Tang Hao, tell me, are we worthy of Emperor Taizong Wen?"

I don’t know if you are worthy of Zhu Di, but I am certainly worthy of him, because I didn’t do any of these bad things!

Tang Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head, roughly understanding what Zhang Mao meant.

The next step of the Xungui Group's plan is to let Tang Hao enter the Beijing camp to reform the Ming Dynasty's version of the "Godly Weapons of Hades" that is about to become "terminally ill" and recreate the peerless style of the Ming Dynasty Field Army!

As for why it was him, Tang Hao?
Come to think of it, there are just a few reasons.

First, Tang Hao is now the Marquis of Zhongshan, a serious prince, whose status is much higher than that of other noble military ministers.

Secondly, Tang Hao's personal force is top-notch, enough to suppress those bastards who deliberately stir up trouble, and he is not afraid of being bullied.

Thirdly, Tang Hao saved the young emperor's life and is now a new man in the court. With this trump card, he can run rampant in the capital camp.

Therefore, Tang Hao is the best candidate to revitalize the Beijing camp.

Furthermore, Tang Hao had no reason to refuse.

Since he chose to accept the support of the noble military officials, Tang Shaozong broke a leg for this, and Zhang Mao exposed his family scandal for this, and then helped him win the title of Marquis, then he should pay the corresponding price!
The price is that Tang Hao must put the interests of the noble military minister first and temporarily accept the arrangements made by the noble military minister for him.

For example, right now, if you go to Jingying, a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, you will see that trouble is trouble, and reform must be carried out.

Tang Hao nodded and expressed his attitude directly.

"Grand Governor, where is the bottom line?"

"You also know that I am a person who always behaves arrogantly and domineeringly, and I don't know any etiquette or rules!"

"So if I really go there then, beating people and fighting would be commonplace. What if this happens..."

Zhang Mao couldn't help laughing loudly when he heard this.

"Hahaha……"

"This is the effect I want!"

"Boy, as long as you have control over it, just go ahead and do it!"

"Don't mention beating up a few bastards. Even if you kill them, I will keep you in the loop. Do you understand?"

As soon as these words came out, Tang Hao nodded with satisfaction.

In other words, there is no bottom line. No matter how hard he tries, the noble military ministers will protect him!
If that's the case, it's interesting. Tang Hao is not the kind of cat or dog who lets others bully him without fighting back!
As long as you have reason, then just beat him to death, and every one you beat to death will count as one!
Zhang Mao also had a smile on his face and was in a good mood.

Jingying is rotten to the core.

Even if a reckless man like Tang Hao was allowed to go in and mess with it, how bad would it be?
In other words, if Tang Hao really has the ability to revitalize the Beijing camp and restore its combat strength, let alone beating a few people arrogantly and domineeringly, Zhang Mao can save him even if he kills a few people!
"But there are a few things you need to pay attention to."

"The first is the Twelve Marquises of the Beijing Camp. On the surface, they are noble military ministers, but secretly there are many people who have colluded with civil servants and gentry because of their interests. Therefore, you have to be careful with them. It is best to treat them as civil servants and gentry. Treat him like an enemy, not a friend!"

Tang Hao was not surprised when he heard this.

The current Jingying camp is like a huge cake.

The distinguished military ministers, admiral eunuchs, and assistant civil servants each took a share of the pie.

They are all vested interests in this piece of cake, so naturally they will not talk about their position.

The so-called position issue is based on interests. Because of one's own interests, one has a corresponding position!

In fact, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, after the civil servants and gentry took control of the court, the choice of the noble and military ministers was not to continue to join forces with the emperor to check and balance the civil servants and gentry, but to choose "civil and military fusion" to fight against the emperor and eunuchs together. To put it bluntly, it was also because of interests. question.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" Zhang Maoxiao asked. Tang Hao waved his hands indifferently and said: "They are making profits from it. When I go there, I will definitely go to do some damage. Then the two sides will naturally become enemies. What's the surprise?"

"Good boy, I am really more and more optimistic about you!" Zhang Mao nodded happily.

Not only is this boy's strength astonishing, but what's even more valuable is his vision and insight, which is far beyond the comparison of those generals from Jiubian.

"Secondly, although the forces in the Beijing camp are intertwined, they are all nominally the Minister of the Ministry of War or the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The person who is now the admiral in charge of the Beijing camp is Liu Daxia, the Minister of the Ministry of War, who is your nominal immediate superior. People...are not easy to deal with!"

Liu Daxia, Minister of War!
Hearing this name, Tang Hao's expression became strange.

Liu Daxia, one of the famous "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi"!

This guy is considered a "habitual criminal". He first hid the files on Zheng He's voyages to the West, and then the files on Zhang Fu's expedition to Annan.

To put it bluntly, Liu Daxia was a standard civil servant and gentry who resolutely opposed the war and devoted himself to developing the so-called people's livelihood. I don't know what kind of people's livelihood these civil servants and gentry developed when they assisted Emperor Hongzhi and worked hard to govern!
Tang Hao touched his chin and thought for a moment before asking an astonishing question.

"That Grand Governor, if Liu Daxia is unhappy with me, can I beat him?"

"Um...is this...ok...?" Zhang Mao was also confused by him.

You kid is such a savage!
Why do you want to beat someone up even if you don't agree with them?

He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, a serious minister of the court, and a high official of the second rank!
"Oh, that's it...you can beat me up if you want!"

"But don't beat people to death. Their sizes are different, you understand."

If you want to beat a cat or a dog, then it’s okay to beat it.

But the person who was beaten was Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, so this matter was a bit troublesome.

But as long as no one is killed, everything is still within control and it's no big deal.

Zhang Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head. He regretted a little now and threw Tang Hao into the Beijing camp.

"Okay, I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit in the afternoon and finalize this matter with His Majesty!"

"One more thing, Xiao Tang Hao, you are not married, right?"

Tang Hao was stunned when he heard this and shook his head subconsciously.

Is this about... getting a wife?

"Okay!" Zhang Mao smiled, "I have a granddaughter at my knees. She is gentle, virtuous, well-educated, and she is still waiting to be married. Although she is not a legitimate daughter, she is my only granddaughter, and she is quite popular with me."

"Boy, if you are willing, this marriage is settled, how about it?"

What a wife!

Tang Hao frowned, then nodded decisively.

"Okay, the Governor will decide everything, I don't have any objections."

Seeing Tang Hao agree so decisively, the admiration in Zhang Mao's eyes became more intense.

"Why don't you ask me how my granddaughter is doing? Why don't you just agree?"

"Nothing to ask." Tang Hao smiled, "This is the best arrangement, isn't it?"

"Although we have some exchange of interests, the Grand Governor is indeed kind to me, Tang Hao, and we are both members of the noble military ministers. When everything is based on the overall situation, I have no reason to refuse."

"On the contrary, the Governor likes the boy. The boy should be happy that he got a wife for nothing!"

"Hahaha..." Zhang Mao laughed so happily that he reached out and patted Tang Hao's shoulder very affectionately.

This was the first time in so many years that Zhang Mao was so happy that he even regained some vitality.

"Good boy, you are really good!"

"It is true that I have the intention of repaying a favor and making plans for my old Zhang family."

"But I will never treat you badly. I will do my best to support you in entering the court and taking over my current position."

After a pause, Zhang Mao sighed inexplicably again, with a very solemn tone.

"I have been very unhappy and frustrated in my life!"

"This job is really hard, really hard!"

"You can't retreat, but you can't die!"

"Why bother?"

Zhang Mao's eyes were a little red.

Once upon a time, he, Zhang Mao, was an ambitious young man eager to fight on the battlefield and make achievements.

But throughout his life, he never had the chance to lead an army to fight, so he could only stay in the court and fight with the civil servants and gentry.

It’s so sad and ridiculous to spend my whole life on this!

Tang Hao also sighed, stretched out his hand and clenched his fist.

"Don't worry, Governor, it won't be like this in the future!"

"The noble military ministers need a way out, a path of inheritance similar to the civil service examination!"

"Let's take it step by step. The Grand Governor will last a few more years and see with his own eyes that I will create a path of inheritance for the noble military ministers!"
