I am the king of the dead

Tang Xing echoed and said: "It's really difficult. After all, it's an imperial guard. If it's not in my hands, can Li Yimin sleep well?"

Great Ming Shaobao Yu Qian, after the battle of the capital, in order to avoid suspicion and hand over military power, he dragged his body suffering from phlegm disease to go to Kyushu outside the mountains to inspect the frontier.

With His Majesty's trust in Shaobao, the military power of the capital cannot be handed over to Yu Qian. As a minister who came to surrender from the Ming Dynasty, Liu Pu rashly demanded military power, which is indeed a taboo.

Liu Pu said with a strange expression: "I have a way."

Chapter 748 As long as the price is right, the noose that hangs oneself can also be sold

"Is there any way to let Li Yimin hand over the guards that involved his life into your hands?" Yuan Bin asked, frowning into a hill.

Liu Pu took a deep breath, and said solemnly and confidently, "Give me the money."

"If you give enough money, Li Yimin will hand over the military power of the Shenglong Guard to me."

"Ah, this..." Tang Xing stared at Liu Pu with wide eyes, and said in shock: "This can't be, Shenglong Imperial Guard, it is not only related to whether his head is in place, but also related to his throne Is it possible to continue, and he can hand over [-] military powers of the Shenglong Imperial Guard, his lifeblood to you because of the scattered silver taels?"

"I do not believe."

Liu Pu took out a document, handed it to Tang Xing and said: "Mo Zhi is the Lord Mo, as a minister of the dragon and Li Yimin's confidant, Mo Zhi gave Li Yimin 10 taels of silver, and got the honor of the Shenglong Guard. military power."

Tang Xing finished reading the thin page of the document, and handed it to Yuan Bin with a complicated expression.

Yuan Bin read the entire document, which revealed in detail how Mo Zhi bribed the middle-ranking officials and eunuchs, and how the middle-ranking eunuchs persuaded Li Yimin with sweet words, and handed over the Shenglong Guard to Mo Zhi.

And the 10 taels of silver, more than 9 taels, were handed over to Li Yimin.

There are many others who obtained power by bribing middle officials and eunuchs, and in this document, Fan Wenqiao, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, has confirmed that he will be dismissed in the middle of next month, and the official position of Minister of Punishment will be transferred to Zheng's hands.

One of An Nanguo's six ministers was clearly priced at 2 taels of silver.

Liu Pu was able to get this document because his eyes and ears in the Forbidden City of Shenglong had been placed by Li Yimin's side.

He is very good at infighting. If he can return to the capital to be the deputy commander-in-chief of the capital in the 14th year of Zhengtong and the first year of Jingtai, and return to the center of the vortex of power, he can do the same.

There is also an account book for the documentary evidence, which is the record of Annan Wenwu bribing Li Yimin to obtain the official title. There are many witnesses. found it.

Shenglong Forbidden City was infiltrated into a sieve by Liu Pu. Liu Pu knew exactly how many bowls of rice Li Yimin ate.

Tang Xing looked at Liu Pu, Sun Zhong, Sun Jizong, Wang Ji, and Liu Pu, who were tyrants in the Southern Yamen, should not rebel, but went to Beijing to engage in political struggles, they were definitely good hands.

Rebellion is really not their area of ​​expertise.

"Selling an official and a noble." Yuan Bin finished reading and returned the document in his hand to Liu Pu.

Liu Pu said with some disappointment: "Once again, His Majesty is right. As long as the price is right, meat eaters will sell the noose that hangs them."

His Majesty always proves every moment that he is the right one.

If Liu Pu had realized earlier that His Majesty was right and wise, he would not have become a traitor and wandered to Annan to be with such a group of insects.

Liu Pu knows that he has repented, but there is no possibility of going back to the past.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, and in all dynasties, there is an unbreakable truth in the world, that is: generals can be accepted, but traitors are not.

Liu Pu said with a strange expression: "If you want to get the military power of the Rising Dragon Guard, it's actually not that troublesome. My people can use some tricks to hold the Rising Dragon Guard in their hands without spending a penny."

"Means? What means?" Yuan Bin asked.

Liu Pu clasped his hands and said: "It's actually very simple. You don't need to actually hand over the money to the middle officials and slaves, just go through the book. Li Yimin doesn't have time to weigh it one by two."

"It's fine if it's on the books."

Tang Xing blinked, and asked with disbelief on his face: "No, even the bribe is not a cash bribe, so just pay for it?! What if Li Yimin remembers and goes to the warehouse?"

Liu Pu said calmly: "It's just that there are thieves stealing or something, or that the five ghosts are carrying ghosts and ghosts to run rampant, or simply say that they have disappeared!"

"Actually, the courtiers in the Orthodox years gave Wang Zhen money in this way. Later, when Wang Zhen found out that he couldn't get the cash, he used 1000 taels of cash for a meal and collected the money."

"During the orthodox period, one stone of Zhengfu arrived in Beijing, and it took three stones to transport food; the cash from various government treasuries arrived at the new magistrate and Xinzhi County after he took office, but was transported by the five ghosts, and thieves appeared frequently; the major weaving bureaus owed money every year. Silk, as few as hundreds of horses, as many as several loads (thousands of horses); there is never any grain in the Changping warehouse, and as long as the warehouse is in the warehouse, the warehouse will be burned by fire dragons."

Yuan Bin and Tang Xing glanced at each other, they knew that Liu Pu was telling the truth, they were all experienced, and they also knew how corrupt the orthodoxy was in those 14 years.

Liu Pu continued: "Corruption seriously affects the military discipline of the army. The guards around Shenglong City are collecting food and recruiting soldiers everywhere. If they disagree with each other, they will directly plunder. The soldiers at the bottom can't get their salary at all. How can they make a living?"

"I can only grab it."

"Corruption will also seriously reduce the combat power, because the ordnance is poorly made, and the sergeants hold long and short soldiers. They know what the guy in their hands is. Run, the two armies are at war, if you don't fight, you will be defeated."

"In general, the more serious the corruption in the army, the less able the army is to fight."

Yuan Bin nodded in deep agreement. Except for the cowardly Xue army, all the Wala people have no military salary, and all their compensation depends on robbing. He looked at Liu Pu and asked, "Did Taiwei Liu do this when he was in Daming?" kind of thing?"

Liu Pu didn't hide anything, nodded and said: "When I was in the capital, I made a batch of jackets for the soldiers to spend the winter. One piece was five taels of silver. In fact, the folks bought it for less than four yuan, and a car was ten taels. The cost of silver is only one tael, and in those years, there were various kinds of things, and six to seven million taels of silver were obtained."

"It's like a window rail in the palace costs 5000 taels of silver. During the orthodox years, corruption was rampant, so the government was dim."

Just as the higher the corruption coefficient, the worse the combat effectiveness of the army, the higher the corruption coefficient of bureaucrats in the bureaucracy, the worse the government will be.

What are the consequences of poor governance?

Ten years have just passed since the millions of people in Fujian were in chaos.

The fourth brother, Li Sicheng, made the pro-military Duwei's Mansion over Yousi in the seven mansions and one country in Qinghua. There is really no way out.

"I'm afraid there are such moths of the country in Daming right now." Tang Xing sighed again and again, these carnivores have so many tricks.

Liu Pu shook his head and said: "This kind of thing is unavoidable, but the Jingtai period is much better than the Zhengtong period, yes, but it is definitely not that all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are moths."

"It's all because His Majesty keeps what he says."

Engage in corruption?Your Majesty said to kill your whole family, even the egg yolk was shaken apart, and the earthworms were dug out and cut in half vertically, who wouldn't be afraid?

Moreover, it cannot be said that His Majesty is cruel. His Majesty first set up the official residence, and then made the imperial silver coins.

The bureaucrats' clothing, food, housing, and transportation are all run by the government. For this alone, there will be many people with lofty ideals in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom who are loyal, righteous, and self-reliant.

Liu Pu stared at the north in a daze, and murmured, "In ten years, the Ming Dynasty will be completely new, that's great."

Yuan Bin and Tang Xing are both living in this mountain, while Liu Pu is a bystander. He can see the changes in Ming Dynasty in the past ten years.

Is it really possible to get the military power of the Thang Long Guard by going through an account?

In the afternoon, when Liu Pu returned to Taiwei's Mansion, he was holding a troop dispatch card in his hand, and Yuan Bin and Tang Xing called it an eye-opener.

"I have to ask Commander Yuan to do one more thing. I will leave it to Commander Yuan to train the soldiers of the Dragon Guards."

Liu Pu handed the fire card to Yuan Bin and said: "As for the money and food, Commander Yuan doesn't have to worry about it. I will definitely find a way to make things comprehensive. The big deal is to temporarily stop the dredging of the sea pool. The 3000 people of the Shenglong Guard , so unbearable, the old fourth will definitely not be able to bear it and launch a crusade."

The reason why Li Yimin asked Mo Zhi to hand over the military power of 3000 Shenglong Imperial Guards was not only the bribe that Liu Pu had stolen, but also other reasons.

Li Yimin handed over the Shenglong Imperial Guard to Mo Zhi, but Mo Zhi dealt him [-] to [-] battle losses, and it was a sneak attack that took advantage of the location!Then let Mo Zhi's soldiers refuse to accept it.

Secondly, the Shenglong Imperial Guard is Li Yimin's greatest security guarantee!Li Yimin was naturally afraid of being so unbearable.

And Liu Pu, who had been unwilling to surrender before, finally began to act according to his Li Yimin's rules. It became logical that the military power was handed over to a single minister who defected to Annan from the Ming Dynasty.

What worried Li Yimin the most was that the guards of Shenglong controlled by Mo Zhi left alone, which aroused his deep fear of Mo Zhi.

It was Li Yimin's clear decree to let the fourth son send capable ministers to come to the peace talks, and the Da Ming's envoy was to mediate it, using Da Ming's credit endorsement.

In order to prevent the peace talks from being reached, Mo Zhi chose the army to go alone and went to assassinate him. This not only slapped him in the face of Li Yimin, but also slapped Daming in the face.

If nothing is dealt with, wouldn't the allies be astonished and the state's honor lost?

Li Yimin is not stupid because he is greedy.

"What do you think of the peace talks between the court and the Central Committee?" Yuan Bin took over the card of dispatching troops, and this group of Shenglong guards, if they don't practice hard, how can they be the opponent of the ruthless fourth child?

Liu Pu smiled and said, "It's impossible."

Peace talks are impossible. Peace talks can only be maintained if you fight to the death.

Mo Zhi's decision to go alone is his personal decision, and it is also the common choice of the entire Thang Long Eight House Guards. If peace talks are really made, how can so many sergeants make a fortune?

The troops of Thang Long Bafu did not have the guts to fight desperately on the battlefield to suppress the rebellion, because after the attack on Ding Lie for a while, they all knew that the Tsing Hua pro-army was very capable of fighting.

However, there is still courage to collect money in the name of suppressing bandits, and it is very big!

In this environment, Liu Pu can be said to be a dragon entering the sea and a tiger returning to the mountains. He can display his full strength. In the matter of political struggle, the combination of civil and military affairs of the Annan Manchu Dynasty will not be Liu Pu's opponent.

Liu Pu was a treacherous minister who was killed in the big dye vat during the orthodox years!

When Yuan Bin took office, he realized that he had to train not only the 3000-man Thang Long Imperial Guard, but also other guards, a total of 20 men, and Yuan Bin suddenly became the head coach of the 20 Annan Guards .

Yuan Bin also put in all his strength. In Yuan Bin's view, Annan's sergeants did not lack combat skills, let alone courage. They were several times stronger than the Japanese Japanese he trained in the Japanese country, but like the Japanese, their bodies , always lacking energy.

Sergeants simply don't know what to fight for, and that's the crux of the problem.

Under the feudal monarchy, what soldiers fight for is usually interpreted as fighting for the monarch.

But what kind of guy is Li Yimin?What is Ashikaga Yoshimasa?Is it worth fighting for the guards and the Japanese?

Obviously not worth it.

Yuan Bin wrote about what happened in Annan recently in the Tang newspaper, and sent back part of the map that he had drawn to Daming.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu's car had just arrived at Quanzhou Prefecture from Fuzhou Prefecture, and the first stop was Daming's Hall of Martyrs.

In the 14th year of Zhengtong, Deng Maoqi divided his troops into four groups to attack the counties of Dehua, Yongchun, Anxi, Nan'an and other counties in Quanzhou Prefecture. In less than a month, Deng Maoqi captured Quanzhou Prefecture.

Xiong Shangchu, the prefect of Quanzhou, was defeated and captured. He faced the north and died of hunger strike.

Whether Xiong Shangchu's name should be written on the Hall of Martyrs has always been a topic of debate in the court.

According to the Emperor Ming's definition of Ye Zongliu and Deng Mao's civil unrest as officials forcing people to rebel, then as a bureaucrat, Xiong Shangchu was an official and the criminal who caused the civil unrest in Fujian.

This issue was debated endlessly in the court, and finally presented to the emperor.

The opinion of the Ministry of Rites is that it should be written on the Hall of Martyrs. Xiong Shangchu was brave and loyal, fought for the Ming Dynasty, was captured and died on a hunger strike, and refused to surrender.

The opinion of the rumor officials in the Qing Dynasty is that since it has been characterized as an official forcing people to rebel, no bureaucrats in Fujian should be listed in the Hall of Martyrs.

Zhu Qiyu finally approved Xiong Shangchu as a hero of the Ming Dynasty, and this matter was considered a result.

Did Zhu Qiyu change the definition of a hero?

Or does he want to change the nature of civil unrest in Fujian?

neither.

Deng Maoqi's appeal of millions of people is to punish corrupt officials. Wherever he goes, bureaucrats with ghosts in their hearts run slower and will be hanged.

But after the rebel army captured Xiong Shangchu, Deng Maoqi kept persuading him to surrender, which is enough to prove Xiong Shangchu's virtuousness and integrity.

This is an honest official certified by the Rebel Army!

He also died on a hunger strike for the Ming Dynasty, and starved himself to death, so he is naturally eligible to be on the Hall of Martyrs.

After Zhu Qiyu burned incense at the Martyrs' Shrine in Quanzhou Prefecture, he headed towards the Bieyuan Garden in Quanzhou Prefecture. On the way, he finished reading the Tang newspaper sent back by Yuan Bin.

"This fourth son, I regret that I should have let him go, so I should have killed him in Nanya." Zhu Qiyu read the Tang newspaper and knew what Li Sicheng had done in the seven prefectures and one country of Qinghua, and said solemnly.

Xing'an frowned slightly and asked, "Can he succeed?"

"It may cause serious trouble." Zhu Qiyu handed the pond newspaper in his hand to Yu Qian and said, "Yu Shaobao help me take a look?"

Yu Qian read the Tang newspaper very seriously, raised his head and said, "I think that Li Sicheng is relying on the pro-military Duwei's mansion to govern the country, and he must reap the consequences."

"One day, one month, one year is better. The left and right are just emergencies. It is okay to clear up redundant diseases and urgent needs, but it will definitely not work in the long run."

"As time goes on, it is inevitable that the ministers will not be satisfied with their positions, the minor ministers will not be satisfied with their duties, the merchants will not be satisfied with the city, the travels will not be satisfied with the journey, the soldiers will not be satisfied with the army, and the common people will not be satisfied with their jobs."

"Regulations are dusty, people's legal affairs, the safety of the country is unknown, the law is cold, and the country's system is in chaos."

Yu Qian is very good at the system of the country, and Jin Yiwei's governance of the country is itself unreliable.

If it was reliable, Emperor Gao would not abolish the Jinyi Guards, and Emperor Wen would not abide by the driving stickers. Ji Gang executed a few blank cases, and then killed Ji Gang.

Ji Gang has worked for Emperor Wen for many years, but the blank paper case is still absolutely unbearable for Emperor Wen.

Who is Jin Yiwei against?It is against the Beijing officials.

Jin Yiwei is a sharp weapon to turn the table when His Majesty's authority is challenged.

Li Sicheng's pro-military Duwei Mansion governs the country, and the establishment of Yasi in various prefectures and counties is typical. The method of expansion is a technique, and it is definitely not a way.

"I feel that the fourth child is only one step away from being king." Zhu Qiyu said vaguely.

But Yu Qian understood His Majesty's words, and said with emotion: "This step is more difficult than climbing to the sky, what can Li Sicheng do?"

Xing'an was at the side, with a blank expression on his face. What exactly is this step that His Majesty and Yu Shaobao talked about?
