Generally speaking, the main military force near the capital consists of the Beijing camp and the bodyguards.
But there is actually another important force that has been ignored by the world. This is the tomb guarding army near Wan'an Mountain.
From Taizong Jingling Tomb to Shizu Yongling Tomb, twelve imperial tombs are lined up from east to west, and a total of twelve tomb-defending troops were stationed along the way.
These armies are different from the mainstream guards who receive pay today. They still follow the settlement system established by Taizu, and they have cultivated and raised themselves for generations.
So this total of twelve guards, totaling more than 60,000 military households, can actually only send out 15,000 soldiers, and the remaining military households are mainly responsible for working and raising soldiers.
At this moment, around Yongling, there are both mausoleum guards and troops, as well as a large number of Beijing camps and pro-army troops. The total number of guards exceeds 20,000.
Although there are many troops, they do not appear chaotic at all, which shows that the current general command system is still very efficient.
As for the entire sacrificial process, what stands out is its scale. To put it simply, there are many people participating, and the various rituals are ridiculously complicated.
After a long trip, it was already afternoon.
For someone as weak as Zhu Jingyuan, who was so tired that he relied on eunuchs to support him, the emperor would naturally become dissatisfied.
Among everyone at the scene, only Zhu Jingyuan was extremely happy about this, and he was also looking forward to the prince falling ill, so that he could replace the emperor and preside over the sacrifices in the next few days.
Of course, Zhu Jingyuan will never let him get his way, even if he insists, he will continue.
Now that the sacrifice is over, everyone returns to their places and follows the large group of people on the road back to Beijing.
On the road at this moment, in line with the principle of rather catching the wrong one than letting it go, Jin Yiwei has arrested more than a hundred people, all of whom are too close to the blockade area.
That’s right, even outside the restricted area, it won’t work if you are too close.
Under such high-pressure control, it was extremely difficult to assassinate the king, so the team was able to return safely as when they came.
After returning to the capital, civil and military officials and members of the royal family stopped outside Chengtian Gate, knelt to see the emperor enter the palace, and then left.
They are all extremely tired and need to go back to rest quickly. After all, these are the things that will happen in the next few days.
Only the three legitimate sons of the royal family were able to escort the emperor back to his palace.
In the side hall of Qianqing Palace, looking at the frail body of the prince, Zhu Xianming wanted to teach him a few words, but when he thought that it was the Chinese New Year, he finally decided to save him some face.
"Fourth and Sixth, you all can go back."
"Yes, I will retire."
After the two of them bowed and left, Zhu Xianming looked at He glanced at Zhu Jinghong and then asked, "You have already thought about the military training."
This is the first time the emperor has asked about this matter since it was agreed upon.
When asked suddenly, Zhu Jinghong was a little confused for a moment, but he soonHe soon sorted out his thoughts.
"Dad, this matter is very detailed. It will take at least half an hour to introduce it."
Zhu Jinghong vaccinated the emperor because he was afraid that the old man would find him verbose. .
"Let's talk about it"
"Yes"
So Zhu Jinghong began to introduce. This lecture really took an hour, during which he Also drank two cups of tea.
He was originally a layman, but his careful research these days and the exchange of experiences with "foreign teachers" really allowed him to make an extremely detailed plan.
Seeing that the plan was so feasible, Zhu Xianming felt much more relieved.
"Dad, how have you considered that matter?"
Zhu Jinghong's question interrupted the emperor's train of thought.
"What's the matter"
"It's just a matter of giving land and money so that foreigners and our craftsmen can make guns and cannons together"
Zhu Jinghong A plan had been mentioned, and Zhu Xianming had been considering it, but he had forgotten about it in the past two days.
After thinking for a while, the good emperor asked, "Soldiers should be more elite than more. Can you really guarantee that foreigners can make better guns?"
"Can" Zhu Jinghong He said with certainty.
Now foreigners do have an advantage in technology. Secondly, Zhu Jinghong probably knows the historical context, so he is confident in making better guns.
"I hope you won't let me down," Zhu Xianming said solemnly.
"Dad, you agreed."
"It's in Shanglin Garden. It's spacious there. You can find a place by yourself. As for the money, you can ask Lu Tong for it."
< p>Lu Tong is in charge of the internal funds and silver. Zhu Xianming's arrangement is obviously to use the money from the small treasury, which is a rare thing."My son accepted the order, but there is just one more thing"
"What's the matter"
"It's not enough to just rely on foreigners, we have to get help from the Ministry of Industry and the Army The bureau is looking for some skilled craftsmen and let our people participate in it."
"Yes," Zhu Xianming agreed simply.
Trying to hide his little plan, Zhu Jinghong continued, "This requires coordination from the Ministry of Industry. My son thinks that there must be a proper and thoughtful person."
Seeing him say Being cautious, Zhu Xianming said bluntly, "It seems that you already have a candidate."
"My son does have some ideas."
"Let's talk about it."
"Worker "Qin Ye, the doctor of the camp and repair department"
When he heard this name, Zhu Xianming couldn't help but show a strange look on his face, "You, the doctor of the camp and repair department, have lost your mind. This kind of craftsmen either want Yu Heng to be in the official department or return to the official department." In the Ordnance Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, who are you looking for from the Battalion and Maintenance Department?"
The old man pointed out the flaws in just one sentence, and Zhu Jinghong felt particularly embarrassed.
But before he could speak, Zhu Xianming continued, "If I remember correctly, this Qin Ye has been imprisoned now. The punishment proposed by the Ministry of Punishment is exile, which will be executed soon."
p>This sentence was even beyond Zhu Jinghong’s expectation, and the emperorDi also noticed this and was looking at him with great interest.
"Dad, what's going on? How could Qin Ye be imprisoned suddenly after he had done everything well?"
Although he asked this, Zhu Jinghong had already guessed the reason. After all, the court's recent trend There was a big storm, and he couldn't even think about it.
He also knew that it was caused by the incident in his mansion, but in the beginning, people from the Ministry of Rites were severely punished, so he didn't pay too much attention.
What happened later swept through various ministries and yamen, and more people were involved and convicted. In addition, he was preparing to reorganize and train the army and build guns, so he had no time to pay attention to it.
Now that he suddenly learned that Qin Ye was imprisoned and sentenced to exile, how could Zhu Jinghong not be surprised.
Picking up the tea cup, Zhu Xianming said slowly, "He failed in his duties. How can he not be convicted? It would be a mercy for me to let him live."
"Dad, why don't you be extra merciful? Spare him the punishment."
With a "pop" sound, the emperor put down the tea cup, and then scolded "Nonsense"
"My son is guilty, please calm down, father" Zhu Jinghong Kneel down quickly.
"This major case involves hundreds of officials. Do you want to show mercy to Qin Ye if others want to show mercy to the court?"
Although the emperor was very angry, Zhu Jinghong still stood firm. He raised his head and asked, "Dad, the matter of hanging the plaque is just for the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Work. Why bother to involve so many people because of my son?"
Hearing this, Zhu Xianming couldn't help laughing, and then He said coldly, "This is not something you should interfere with."
This is indeed not something Zhu Jinghong should interfere with, because the turmoil caused by him this time is essentially the emperor letting Zhao Yushan "eradicate dissidents" for the purpose of This is to clear the way for the next reform.
So it is true that Zhu Jinghong should not ask about the reasons for these things.
"Father really can't be accommodating."
With the emperor clearly expressing his dissatisfaction, only he, the direct prince, dared to ask this question.
