Chapter 030: Rectifying the Beijing Camp

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Another morning court, after all officials bowed, Zhu Youxiao began to ask the ministers to discuss matters. Because Yan Duo's troops looted western Liaoning, Wang Xianggan, the Minister of War, proposed to increase the rewards of the Mongolian tribes in western Liaoning this morning, so as to prevent the police from the western Liaoning and reduce the harassment of the Mongolian tribes in western Liaoning and the people in western Liaoning.

The Ming Dynasty's control over the Northeast generation was a slender corridor. It was like an arm, and it was regarded as the left arm of the Ming Dynasty. This left arm extends from Shanhaiguan to Liaodong, and there is only a slender corridor in the western part of Liao. For example, outside Ningyuan City, it is almost deserted, and Mongolian tribes are grazing in the suburbs.

These Mongolian tribes are very weak, but the Ming Dynasty's policy of gentleness encouraged their arrogance and often turned into robber gangs to rob.

Wang Xianggan’s proposal is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

"The Mongolian tribes are insatiable and blindly rewarding them will only make them more frugal. Moreover, the court is in short supply of finances, so how can there be money to reward? In my opinion, it is better to let Sun Aiqing advance to attack." Zhu Youxiao said without hesitation. Wild boar skin is indeed not easy to deal with. After all, wild boar skins are robbed, smuggled transactions with Shanxi merchants, and captured craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, and the military equipment is already very luxurious.

But Mongolia is not like this. It can't deal with wild boar skin for the time being. Can't the few Mongolian tribes still deal with it?

"Emperor, Liao territory is in frequent military affairs at this time. If it still uses troops to the Mongolian tribes, it may be inappropriate." Wang Xianggan quickly opposed it, but Zhu Youxiao ignored it at all and waved: "I have decided."

Then Zhu Youxiao pointed out the topic to the issue of mobilizing troops to reinforce Liaodong and inquired about the progress.

"Report to the emperor, the chief soldiers of Sichuan have been summoned. The remaining soldiers and horses of the provinces have also begun to organize them."

The ministers reported on the progress of their work.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao said: "The road to mobilize troops from various provinces is relatively long, and the soldiers are exhausted and the quality of the soldiers cannot be guaranteed. Now that the Beijing camp is in deterioration, I want to rectify the Beijing camp, and at the same time, a group of soldiers can be drawn from the Beijing camp to support Liaodong."

After saying that, Zhu Youchao checked a group of ministers and asked, "How do you feel about all the beloved ministers?"

"Report to the emperor, the Beijing camp was trained and abandoned, the old and weak were frivolous, occupied the army, and captured the troops, even gathered like a scattered and scattered like fish, and could use one or two, but there was a need to rectify. We also need to choose a person who is proficient in military affairs to govern the Beijing camp, and select capable soldiers to train for battle according to the number of records." Ye Xianggao agreed, and the Donglin Party naturally had no objection to the rectification of the Beijing camp. We did not understand that the emperor's purpose was to control the military power.

The Beijing camp was under the management of the Five Army Governor's Office and was not originally controlled by the Donglin Party. The system of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the current Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party, and the officials of neutral factions, have not been completely driven out of the court, so the Donglin Party naturally cannot control the military power.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao asked for the rectification of the Beijing camp as a reason for Liaodong to train soldiers, and a group of Donglin Party did not think much about it. Moreover, many Donglin Party officials were moderates. Although they were brainwashed and had conflicts with national interests in terms of values, it did not mean that they were against the emperor in everything. As long as they were not discussing the increase in taxes to Jiangnan, the Donglin Party generally would not object.

The eunuch party in history was actually the "Apocalypse Party" formed by the emperor. Like the Donglin Party, it also embezzled and accepted bribes, but at least it took money to do things. The biggest difference between it and the Donglin Party is in terms of tax revenue. Once the court has no money, the Donglin Party suggested that the emperor once tax in the north, and those officials of the Apocalypse Party were taxed against Jiangnan.

"Xu Guangqi." Zhu Youxiao didn't ask the ministers for their opinions, and shouted directly. Xu Guangqi hurriedly stepped out and bowed and said, "I'm here."

"Xu Aiqing is aware of military affairs and is also well-versed in agricultural affairs. Most of the people in the Beijing camp are mobs, so Xu Aiqing is the governor of the Jingying Rongzheng. Select those people and send them to the suburbs to reclaim military garrisons!" Zhu Youxiao directly appointed him.

"I obey the order." Xu Guangqi bowed to accept the order, but a group of Donglin Party did not object. Xu Guangqi was also an official of the Donglin Party, so naturally he would not object to anything.

Zhu Youxiao appointed Xu Guangqi as the governor of the Beijing camp, but in fact he did not let him take charge of military training, but let him take charge of military training. Zhu Youxiao already had a candidate for military training, so Sun Chuanting, who had just become a Beijing official, was currently serving as the chief of the Ministry of Personnel.

Not long ago, when Zhu Youxiao reviewed the memorial, he immediately remembered that Sun Chuanting was the main official who suppressed the peasant army in the late Ming Dynasty? There was no big problem with Sun Chuanting in the military management. Moreover, in history, Sun Chuanting finally sacrificed his life for the country and was a loyal thug of the Ming Dynasty.

"Can Sun Chuanting be here?" Zhu Youxiao continued to call.

Sun Chuanting, who was standing among the ministers, was obviously stunned, then hurriedly stepped out and bowed and said, "I am here."

"I heard that I know that I know about military affairs and am in my prime. Xu Aiqing was very hard-working in Henan before, so Sun Aiqing was the deputy to assist Xu Aiqing in rectifying the Beijing camp!" Zhu Youxiao said directly, and a group of officials immediately focused their eyes on Sun Chuanting, all with strange looks. It was really unexpected that a small ministry of officialdom could actually enter the emperor's sight.

Originally, Zhu Youxiao wanted to appoint Sun Chuanting as the governor of the Beijing camp, but Sun Chuanting had just been transferred to the capital to be an official and had only served as a small county magistrate before. Moreover, Sun Chuanting was only thirty years old, and his qualifications were really a flaw, so Zhu Youxiao simply appointed Sun Chuanting as his deputy.

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting did not expect to receive such an appointment from the emperor. Sun Chuanting, who had just been transferred to the capital, was relatively cautious. Looking at the surprise gazes from the six ministries, a group of bigwigs in the cabinet and the horsemen, Sun Chuanting still felt a little unnatural.

After the scattered court, Zhu Youxiao immediately summoned Xu Guangqi and Sun Chuanting, and then made a clear division of labor in the rectification of the Beijing camp.

Xu Guangqi still mainly manages military farms, and Zhu Youxiao is personally responsible for the training, and Sun Chuanting is assisted. Xu Guangqi and Sun Chuanting are jointly responsible for the verification and classification of the Beijing camp.

This arrangement also left Xu Guangqi with no other ideas. If Zhu Youxiao directly handed over the training of the Beijing camp to Sun Chuanting, Xu Guangqi would naturally wonder whether the emperor did not trust him and actually used an unknown sesame official to preside over the training of the Beijing camp. Instead, he, the governor of the Beijing camp, was just a decoration.

But Zhu Youxiao decided to personally organize the Jingying camp, and Sun Chuanting was still just trying to make a move, so Xu Guangqi naturally had no objection. On the other hand, Sun Chuanting did not have any experience in governing the army at this time. Even if he had experience in governing the army, Zhu Youxiao naturally did not feel at ease let Sun Chuanting train the Jingying camp alone.
