Chapter 403 Rectifying the Beijing Camp
"Inverted?"
"Why, is my son of heaven, the six guards of the army, a vegetarian? He dares to rebel against Duke Ji?"
Zhu Yijun didn't panic, but took the time to ask Wang Chaofu.
Chao Fu knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, maybe Hu Shouren of Jizhou has led his army southward, and together with his old troops in the Beijing camp, they will attack the imperial city!"
"He, Hu Shouren, dares to do this?"
"Isn't he afraid that I will transfer Li Chengliang, Ma Jin and other King Qin?"
Zhu Yijun stood up and said, "Don't panic, besides, the Beijing camp is not all his old troops. Isn't there you, the commander-in-chief of the fifth army battalion, who controls the most troops in the Beijing camp for me?"
"Minister, minister."
Wang Chaofu didn't dare to say that the Fifth Army Battalion he controlled was not worthy of its name, so he only stammered a few words before saying, "I think what your Majesty said is that I was too panicked, but I did see soldiers and horses appearing in the mansion's compound. , massacring soldiers and civilians.”
"Then call Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yong, Xu Rucheng, Liu Ting, Zhang Yuanxun, etc., and I will ask about it."
Zhu Yijun ordered accordingly.
Not long after, Qi Jiguang, Zhou Yong, Xu Rucheng and others all came to the imperial court.
Zhu Yijun asked: "What happened to the military incident in the mansion compound that Uncle Yongping said?"
At this time, Xu Rucheng said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the minister heard that there was a mutiny in the mansion compound, so he took the right to act cheaply and transferred the Shenji Battalion to suppress it. Now I am going to report this matter to Your Majesty."
"Why did you mutiny?"
Zhu Yijun asked.
Xu Rucheng said: "Naturally, it is caused by the rectification of the Beijing camp. There are some arrogant soldiers who don't want to be verified and drilled, so troubles arise."
"Should be suppressed!"
Zhu Yijun said something immediately, and then said to Xu Rucheng: "You should be so decisive, you can't think that if you make a fuss about everything, the court will give in and be afraid of them!"
Xu Rucheng bowed his hands and said yes.
Zhu Yijun then looked at Uncle Yongping: "Don't you know how to ask your boss first, and tell me that Qi Aiqing is going to change?"
Uncle Yongping quickly kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty forgive me, but I was also in a moment of anxiety and forgot to measure."
"Being careless, I will resign myself after I cooperate with Yousi to complete the rectification of the Beijing camp!"
After Zhu Yijun gave the order, he said, "Let's all step back."
So, everyone retreated.
"Duke Ying, Marquis of Nanchang, are you going to sit back and watch him, Duke Ji, drive the soldiers of his hometown to a dead end?"
But after this incident passed, Wang Chaofu, Dai Liangdong and others were still not reconciled, and they specifically asked Zhang Yuangong, the British Duke who led the left army's governor's mansion, and Liu Ting, who was stationed in the imperial city and led the emperor's pro-army Jinwu Guard, to serve as the commander-in-chief.
The British Duke Zhang Yuangong said: "Mr. Ji is a military minister. The military minister rectifies the Beijing camp. We should cooperate! If the civil servants rectify it, we make trouble, and the military minister rectifies it, and we also cause trouble. Doesn't it make the emperor feel that no one can control us?"
Liu Ting, who had already been made a Marquis due to Ping Mian's meritorious service, also said: "That's right, Duke Ji is a veteran general. I can't say anything about what he wants to do."
"Do you also want us to report the matter of enslaving battalion soldiers to plow the land for themselves, accepting battalion soldiers as slaves, and even allowing domestic slaves to pretend to be paid for the army?"
Dai Liangdong replied.
Snapped!
Liu Ting suddenly slapped the table hard, stood up and said, "If you want to report it, you don't need to sell favors! It's just that you can no longer order the camp soldiers and can no longer eat empty wages. Is it the court?"
"As the Marquis of Nanchang said, before the court didn't take care of it, we made these mistakes. Now that the court wants to take care of it, we can only let it be dealt with. It is impossible to really learn from those arrogant soldiers and make troubles in front of the imperial court! "
Zhang Yuangong said.
"Fine!"
Wang Chaofu replied helplessly, and then returned to Beijing camp with Dai Liangdong.
Because the British Duke Zhang Yuangong, Nanchang Marquis Liu Ting, Xing'an Bo Xu Rucheng and other nobles all accepted and even cooperated with the rectification of the Beijing camp, other nobles had no choice but to cooperate and accept.
Therefore, next, Wang Chaofu, Dai Liangdong, etc. still truthfully reported the actual situation of the soldiers in their hometown in the Beijing camp, and the Qing military officers checked it.
Then, the young and strong soldiers occupied by the dignitaries were also sent back to the Beijing camp.
The sergeants who volunteered to serve as slaves in the rich and powerful's family were left to their own will, either to be dismissed from the military and no longer receive pay, or to return to the Beijing camp.
As for the wealthy sergeants who went outside to seek their own way out by bribing the generals of the Beijing camp, they were all dismissed from the military and no longer received pay.
All the sergeants who did not appear on the list were all cancelled.
The battalion soldiers who had been staying in the Beijing camp were voluntarily dismissed from the military and sent home, or stayed in the Beijing camp, and according to the results of the drill, they were ready to accept the arrangement of the court, either to build roads in Daning, or to garrison in Daning.
The sergeant who was released by the dignitaries was naturally very happy, and thankful that he was freed from being enslaved.
But the battalion soldiers who were able to receive the military salary and serve the powerful as slaves while bullying others were very sad.
But they were heartbroken, and they didn't dare to make trouble anymore. After all, the lesson of blood happened not long ago, and they didn't dare to challenge the court's determination.
However, in rectifying the Beijing camp, it is the rich and powerful who suffer the most.
Especially the dignitaries in Beijing.
They could have used soldiers to farm and build houses for themselves, but now they can only spend money to hire them, and they can only hire people to be their own tenant farmers.
But no matter how dissatisfied many dignitaries are now, they can only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.
Because they all understand that the current imperial court cannot afford to offend them. As long as the emperor still trusts people like Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang, they can't do anything to people like Shen Shixing and Qi Jiguang.
"God damn Qi Yuanjing!"
"Why did I spend money to go to the Beijing camp, so that I can dawdle and get money! As a result, your mother made such a move, forcing me to go to Daning outside the pass to build roads."
"Even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!"
As a result, the soldiers still in the Beijing camp were forced to accept two arrangements.
One is to serve in road construction and still receive payment;
One is to garrison and still be a regular soldier.
Battalion soldier Shen Zhuo was assigned to build roads because he failed the drill, and was escorted by the squadron who was also transferred to Daning together with other battalion soldiers who failed the drill, and came to Daning.
And because of this, he is now scolding Qi Jiguang with a voice that he can only hear, with snot and tears, and because of this, he scolded all the way to Daning.
However, not long after Shen Zhuo arrived in Daning, he saw that Jian Yong, the general who was in charge of them, brought many Mongolian women and said:
"Your Majesty has a decree that Han people must not be without wives. Those of you who came here without a family, now take one of you back to live and settle down here."
Shen Zhuo, who thought that he would not be able to marry a wife because of his poor military status in this life, stopped scolding in an instant, looked at his friends on the left and right, and asked with a smile: "Is there such a good thing?"
"Why didn't the surname Qi say earlier that he would send his mother-in-law here? If he had said so, I wouldn't scold him! Anyway, he was paid for his work in the Beijing camp, and he is also paid for his work here!"
