Chapter 49 The Godly Weapon of Hades! The Little Emperor Was Furious!

"sharp!"

"It's really awesome!"

"You are truly a natural born talent!"

As soon as Tang Hao came off the field, Zhang Mao gave him a thumbs up and couldn't stop praising him.

But his family knew about his own affairs. Tang Hao was now extremely weak, his throat was a little fishy and sweet, and he swallowed the old blood alive.

There's nothing I can do about it, Chang Kuohai is too scary a bastard.

If Tang Hao had not taken the old monk's Dali Pills, if Chang Kuohai had been full, then Tang Hao would definitely be the loser this time!

Innate divine power, nothing more than that!

It's a pity that this boy came from a poor family and did not develop normally.

When he thought of this, Tang Hao couldn't help but said: "Old Duke, you have to take good care of that boy for me!"

"When there is a war in the future, if you throw this kid on the battlefield, he will be a real enemy of ten thousand people. Why worry about the barbarians being defeated?"

Hearing his words, Zhang Mao couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Tang Yan, look at this tiger cub of yours, he's really not polite at all!"

"Now you dare to give me orders. You really don't think of yourself as an outsider!"

Tang Hao laughed twice and muttered: "Aren't we a family? What are we talking about?"

Tang Er and Zhang Mao looked at each other, laughed and shook their heads.

This bastard brat is really thick-skinned and smart.

"Okay, okay, get out of here!"

"I will go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit and finalize your decision to go to the capital camp!"

Tang Hao rolled his eyes and asked tentatively.

"Old Duke, can I go to see the saint?"

"Huh?" Zhang Mao was stunned when he heard this, "What do you want to do?"

Tang Hao did not answer directly, but chuckled.

"I just have an idea that is not very mature."

Hearing this, Zhang Mao took a deep look at the boy and nodded after thinking for a moment.

"Well, you go change your armor and follow me into the palace to face the Holy Spirit!"

"But your status is different now, so please don't act recklessly in front of His Majesty, do you hear me?"

Tang Hao nodded and followed the servant to change clothes honestly.

In fact, since he was canonized as Zhongshan Hou, his status has undergone earth-shaking changes.

In the past, Tang Hao was a complete savage in the Ming Dynasty.

He had no identity, no status, no relatives and friends, and the only thing he had was the temporary trust of the little emperor Zhu Houzhao.

After a court meeting ended, the Xungui Group helped Tang Hao win the hereditary title of Marquis of Zhongshan. The two parties secretly completed the exchange of interests, and Tang Hao also established a foothold in the Ming Dynasty.

But the problem is that Tang Hao's identity and stance will also change as a result.

At least, between the little emperor and the noble group, he must be more inclined to the noble military ministers!

This is the change in identity and the change in stance.

It's just that the little emperor and the noble military ministers are now on the same front, joining forces to fight against the civil servants and gentry who control the government.

Before defeating the civil servants and gentry, the two sides were still in the honeymoon period, and there would be no conflicts or fights.

When the civil servants and gentry were beaten to the ground, Tang Hao had the opportunity to put up his seal and go to war. Naturally, he would not stay in the right and wrong place of the capital and get involved in these disputes every day.

After changing into the armor of the Imperial Guard Zheng Qianhu, Tang Hao got into Zhang Mao's carriage and headed straight for the Forbidden City.

In the carriage, Zhang Mao once again gave Tang Hao'er some instructions, focusing on the development history of Jingying.

Tang Hao has been listening patiently, but there are thousands of thoughts in his mind.

Since ancient times, "the major affairs of the country have been sacrifices and military affairs." The Ming Dynasty conquered the world with martial arts, paying special attention to military affairs, and the Beijing army was the strong pillar of the Ming Dynasty.

Since Emperor Yongle, the Beijing army has always been the core force in the military, responsible for the internal defense of the capital and the responsibilities of going out to fight. For example, Emperor Yongle personally conquered six flights and five crossings, and the Beijing army was the main force.

The Beijing army is composed of the Beijing camp, the pro-army, and the four-guard camp. The twenty-sixth guard camp and the four-guard camp of the pro-army are both from the inner court system. The Beijing camp is the basic base of the noble military ministers.

In fact, in addition to the four guards who still have some fighting strength, the Beijing camp, including the 26 guards of the pro-army, are actually old, weak, sick and disabled, but the quota is full, so they will be used by later generations. People jokingly call it the "Magic Weapon of Hades"!

The Tumu Fort Incident and the Defense of Beijing were the beginning of changes in the Beijing camp.

Yu Qian, the minister of Qingtian, asked to set up ten regiments and select elites from the three battalions of Wujun, Sanqian and Shenji, which was called "Selecting the Front".

The original three major battalions of the capital, with a total of 150,000 people, were combined into one and divided into ten. From one battalion to one team, the soldiers and generals learned from each other. , meritorious service.

Those who failed to pass the "front selection" will continue to stay in the three major camps and are called "hometowns".

After this change, the regiment camp is the real elite main force.

As for the three major battalions of the capital that swept across the desert during the Yongle period, such a large-scale, top-notch soldier with brave soldiers and excellent weapons was directly turned into a reserve force. After being put to pieces, he became an out-and-out "magic weapon of the underworld."

Immediately after the coup, Yingzong was restored to power, Yu Qian was killed, the ten regiments were dismissed, and the old structure of the three camps was restored. However, a good regiment was ruined by people and became a victim of the political struggle of Zhu Qizhen, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty.

Next, when Emperor Yingzong died and Emperor Xianzong ascended the throne, he abolished the three major camps and established twelve regiment camps. He ordered civil officials to supervise them, and three generals to lead them. He set up twelve camps and appointed twelve marquises to take charge of them. Each camp was assisted by a general commander, and supervised by an eunuch. This became a custom.

The regiment camps also became a tool for the three forces of meritorious military officials, civil officials, gentry, and eunuchs to make profits. They used a large number of Beijing troops, occupied military farms and pastures, and withheld the monthly wages of soldiers. The elite soldiers in the Beijing army could not bear the heavy burden and fled in large numbers, resulting in a sharp reduction in the number of soldiers in the Beijing army, the slackness of military training, low combat effectiveness, and the gradual decline of the Beijing army.

Even during the Jiajing period, when Altan Khan knocked on the gate and the Tatars were approaching the city of Beijing, such a large and full Beijing camp had no soldiers to defend against the enemy, so that the Ming Dynasty could only watch the Tatar barbarians burning, killing, looting, and showing off their power, and they did not even dare to leave the city gates.

In other words, in another 20 or 30 years, the Beijing Camp will be completely rotten to the core!

To ​​put it bluntly, it seems that there is really no difference whether Tang Hao goes to the Beijing Camp or the Tuan Camp.

Instead of entering this quagmire and fighting with the three forces in the Beijing Camp, it is better to change another way, a way that Tang Hao wants himself, which is the real reason why he took the initiative to ask to follow Zhang Mao to meet the emperor!

Whether it is the Beijing Camp or the Tuan Camp, it has long become a profit pie divided by the three forces of meritorious military officials, civil officials, gentry, and eunuchs. If he, Tang Hao, an outsider, wants to get a piece of it, he will naturally be hated and hostile by the three forces!

Even if he is not going for the benefit, people will not believe it!

Therefore, it is better to change the idea and set up another camp directly!

The Beijing Camp has long been rotten, and it is difficult to turn back. It is meaningless for Tang Hao to change it alone and fight against the oppression of the three major forces!

"Select the vanguard", this is a good word, select the sharp and form a new army!

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao is discussing the return of land with Chen Kuan.

The little emperor finally accumulated land, but was forced to spit it out by the civil officials and gentry, so he couldn't swallow this bad breath.

Since Chen Kuan used a shady trick and buried the knife for those civil officials and gentry, the little emperor was naturally happy to see it happen.

He wished someone would reach out now, and then let the East Factory and the West Factory break into the house and kill his whole family!

At this time, Zhang Yong came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Ying and the Marquis of Zhongshan want to see you!"

Hearing this, the little emperor was immediately happy.

"Hurry up and announce it!"

"This dead savage still has a conscience and knows to enter the palace."

"In this way, you give him a token to enter the palace at any time without any obstacles, so there will be no need for such trouble in the future."

When these words came out, Zhang Yong and Chen Kuan were both shocked and secretly sighed at the great favor of the emperor Zhongshan.

This is to meet the emperor at any time, that is the first-class treatment of a favorite minister!

A quarter of an hour later, Tang Hao and Zhang Mao successfully met the little emperor.

However, due to the presence of outsiders, the two restrained themselves, but exchanged glances from time to time, which was somewhat ambiguous.

Zhang Mao directly mentioned the business, and a word made the little emperor furious again.

"Your Majesty, since the Jingtai period, the three camps of the Beijing Army have been changed to ten regiments, and the elite troops have been selected to form a new army. Later, during the Chenghua period, the twelve regiments were set up!"

"However, now that peace has been long, the garrisons are empty, and most of the soldiers are occupied by the powerful and influential families and are forced to work privately and pay monthly. The internal problems of the Beijing Army have been accumulated for a long time!"

While speaking, the old Duke took out a memorial from his arms.

Since he has decided to rectify the Beijing Army, it must not be aimless.

Everything is written in the little book, just waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to speak and send Tang Hao in to make trouble.

"In the 19th year of Chenghua, there were a total of 93,400 soldiers in the militia, 52,000 of whom went to work in various places, 24,600 of whom were finished, and only 16,700 of whom were trained. They worked frequently and had no time to accumulate strength!" "Today, the 12th Battalion has accumulated problems and is weak, and is no different from the three major battalions in the past. The 12th Battalion has only more than 65,000 elite soldiers, and the weaker ones have only 25,000!" As soon as these words came out, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stood up in shock, took Zhang Mao's memorial, and hurriedly read it. It's not that he was panicked, but that this matter was too scary! The internal emphasis was heavy and the external light, which was the characteristic of the Ming Dynasty's military system and the key to ensuring the central power! But the central government's greatest confidence was that the Beijing Army, which had hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers in the past, now only had more than 65,000 people left! This number was too scary, and it was even enough to shake the country of the Ming Dynasty! The number of the guards in the Nine Border Military Towns is greater than that of the Beijing Camp. If someone has evil intentions, what will the court use to suppress the rebellion?

Zhu Houzhao was really panicked, and his face was instantly gloomy and ugly!

"Assholes!"

"How dare they?"

"The Beijing Army is related to the country, how dare they make a profit from it?"

Zhang Mao didn't say anything, pretending not to hear.

Why don't they dare?

Since the Beijing Camp was changed to a regiment camp, those admiral ministers have been doing this.

Anyway, the Nine Border Military Towns are guarded by the guards, and no matter how rampant the northern barbarians are, they can't break into the Great Wall. Can it hinder them from taking bribes and seeking personal gain?

Seeing that the old Duke didn't speak, the little emperor was even more angry.

At this time, Tang Hao suddenly smiled and spoke.

"During the Hongzhi period, the person who was the admiral of the Beijing Camp should be the Minister of War, right?"

That's right, it's Liu Daxia, Minister of the Ministry of War, the Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi!

After hearing this, the little emperor woke up from a dream and ordered through gritted teeth.

"Come here, tell Liu Daxia, the Minister of War!"

"Let him come to the palace immediately!"

The first update today, a 3,000-word update. Tang Hao is about to form a new army, which will be carried out on both fronts of court and war. I hope readers and friends will vote for it. Thank you very much!
