Chapter 250 The investigation encounters obstacles

Most of the guard posts are controlled by the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army is basically controlled by the nobles.

Except for Zhang Shize, the left governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, the interests of many nobles in the capital were greatly affected by the abolition of the guard post.

Outside the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, there were twenty-six guard posts belonging to the emperor's personal army.

There are a total of twenty-six pro-military guards, of which Ming Taizu set up twelve.

They are the Jinyi Guard, the Banner Guard, the Kingo Front Guard, the Habayashi Left and Right Guards, the Fujun Guards, the Fujun Left and Right Front Guards, and the Tiger and Ben Left Guards.

Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, added ten more, namely Jinwu left and right guards, Yanshan left and right avant-garde, Yulin avant-garde, Daxing left guard, Jiyang guard, Jizhou guard and Tongzhou guard.

Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty added four more, namely Tengxiang's left and right guards and Wuxiang's left and right guards.

These twenty-six guards are not under the management of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but are directly under the management of the emperor.

But most of the commanders and thousands of households are held by nobles from the capital.

Later, the four guards around Teng Xiang and Wu Xiang became the troops under the control of the Royal Horse Supervisor.

Logically speaking, the guard station should either be under the control of the emperor or the governor-general of the five armies.

However, there are a few guards who are neither direct military guards nor under the jurisdiction of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion.

There are three types of ordinary guard posts that are equivalent to the direct management of the emperor.

six craftsmen

There are three martial arts guards on the left, middle and right, two guards on the left and right of Yongqing, and Pengcheng guard. These six guards are all military craftsmen.

Fifteen imperial mausoleum guards

Changling Guard, Xianling Guard, Jingling Guard, Yuling Guard, Maoling Guard, Tailing Guard, Kangling Guard, Yongling Guard, Zhaoling Guard, Dingling Guard, Qingling Guard, Deling Guard.

Zhu Cixiang planned to merge the three craftsman guards into the military battle bureau, and the other three guards moved back to the capital and still returned to work.

However, the health system was abolished, the Manufacturing Bureau of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty was established, and all land was recovered and redistributed.

All fifteen Huangling Guards have been cancelled. In the future, the National Guard Army will send troops to guard the imperial mausoleum. The number of personnel can be reduced on a large scale. There is no need to station a guard station for each imperial mausoleum.

Retain the Jin Yiwei, Bannerwei, Kingo front defender, and Habayashi left and right defenders.

Except for Jin Yiwei, the other three are the emperor's facade and must be given enough face, otherwise it will not be justified.

After discussion with Lu Xiangsheng, Zhang Shize and others, Zhu Cihong decided to abolish all the guards in the Gyeonggi area except for four guards, and the imperial court would send troops to garrison them in the future.

After Shenyang is recaptured in the future, many guard posts will be useless and there is no need to exist at all.

However, they cannot be moved for the time being, otherwise Zhu Cihong will have to divide his troops to garrison them, and the current military resources are far from enough.

After Emperor Chongzhen abdicates in the future, Zhu Cixiang will only retain the Jin Yiwei.

The palace and the Purple Gold City are all guarded by troops from the Weiwu Battalion, and the emperor's personal bodyguards are no longer useful.

Zhu Cixiang was busy abolishing the health station, and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were also rushing to the Kinki area non-stop to prepare for an inventory of the land.

After discussion, Zhu Cixiang planned to start the inventory from Tongzhou first. The land inventory for this time was based on the imperial register of the Ministry of Household, starting from the early years of Hongwu to the early years of Chengzu.

Zhu Cihong wanted to see the growth of land annexation in the Gyeonggi region during Lao Zhu's tenure and after Zhu Di came to power.

The certified land below 100 acres will remain unchanged, which means it will not be included in the scope of this land distribution.

A strict inspection of land over one hundred acres was conducted, and it was found that all the land that had been increased through mergers and acquisitions in the later period had to be vomited out.

Compared with other places in Gyeonggi Province, the life of the wealthy gentry in Tongzhou is much easier.

Because the Ming army's main camp was in Tongzhou, Jiannu did not take action against Tongzhou this time.

Cheng Guoxiang gave full support to the crown prince's land inventory and sent a large number of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to participate, ranging from ministers to ministers and government servants, plus local officials from the Tongzhou Ministry of Household Affairs. The total number reached hundreds.

In addition to the people sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs, Lu Xiangsheng also sent dozens of people from the Ministry of War to participate, as well as some educated generals from the National Guard Army, Yang Tinglin of Zhan Shifu and others.

After they arrived in Tongzhou, local officials immediately warmly received them and hosted a banquet in honor of the officials who came to inspect the land without mentioning a word about the land inspection.

Many officials were originally dissatisfied with the Crown Prince's land inspection. They followed local officials in Tongzhou and the gentry and had fun, and did not take the land inspection seriously at all.

Only Yang Tinglin, Wu Ganlai, the head of the Household Department, and Zuo Maodi, a member of the Household Department, cared about the task assigned by the Crown Prince. They refused the hospitality of Tongzhou officials and gentry and immediately launched land inspections.

But when we first checked a few landlords, someone immediately encouraged some young gangsters to start causing trouble, and the landlords took the opportunity to drive them out of their homes.

After that, all the big households and gentry refused to check the land with the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It was impossible for Yang Tinglin and the others to continue the verification, so they had to return to Tongzhou Camp to report to the crown prince.

But on their way back to the camp in Tongzhou, anti-land clearance demonstrations began to break out in Tongzhou. The streets were full of people shouting against the land clearance and shouting that the crown prince should fight for profits with the people.

Yang Tinglin immediately felt something bad. Someone must be deliberately inciting unknown people and land hooligans to stop the land inventory, and his group immediately accelerated their pace.

But it was too late. A group of ordinary people suddenly appeared in front of them, shouting slogans and rushing towards Yang Tinglin and others:

"Kill to death these corrupt officials who are fighting for the interests of the people..."

A dozen generals of the national defense army who were following the Hubu officials saw that the situation was not going well and immediately drew their swords from their waists to protect the Hubu officials. The other two generals rushed their horses and rushed out of the crowd to move troops to the camp to rescue them.

At this time, Zhu Cixiang was discussing recruit training and defense issues with the military commanders at the Tongzhou camp. When he suddenly received the news that the land inspection personnel were besieged, Zhu Cixiang immediately frowned.

He expected that there would be resistance, but he did not expect that he would encounter strong resistance from the gentry and landowners as soon as he started the investigation.

It was too late for ordinary people to be happy when they heard about the land distribution. They would never take to the streets to help the landlords and gentry fight against the land inventory. It was obvious that it was all Qingpi and servants who were bribed by the landlords.

He originally wanted to send troops to kill all the rebels, but for the sake of safety, Zhu Cixi decided to rescue Yang Tinglin and others first and ask them carefully before making a decision.

"Little Duke, you immediately send five hundred cavalry to rescue Yang Tinglin and the others. If anyone dares to attack you, you will be killed without mercy!"

"Here"

Zhang Shize took the order and personally led five hundred cavalry out of the camp.

At this time, Yang Tinglin and others had been beaten with bruises and swollen faces. Although more than a dozen soldiers of the National Defense Army fought desperately to protect them, there were hundreds of people on the other side, and they were too weak to take care of themselves...

"Da da da……"

Suddenly there was a sound of horse hoofbeats in the distance, and everyone felt the ground shaking. They soon discovered that a cavalry was rushing towards them. These people abandoned Yang Tinglin and others and ran away.

Zhang Shize arrived with 500 cavalry and found a dozen soldiers of the National Guard lying on the ground. Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and Yang Tinglin were also sitting on the ground with bruises and swollen faces. There were more than a dozen corpses beside them.

Zhang Shize was furious:

"What a coward! How dare you hurt our soldiers of the national defense army? Go after them and kill all the rioters in front of you!" I like the Ming Dynasty. The prosperous age began with the crown prince supervising the country. Please collect: (https://www.myxls.net) The Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age began with the prince supervising the country.
