Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The news of Yan Mingtai's dismissal and arrest soon spread in the court as people from the East Police Factory came in and out of the Ministry of War. Everyone who knew about it was frightened, especially people from all factions of the eunuch party. No one knew how Yan Mingtai came to Beijing again. But now he was taken away by the people from Dongji Factory?

Why was he deposed?

Why was he arrested by Dongchang?

All of a sudden, various actions appeared quietly in private. There is no secret in the capital, especially in the central court. In the shortest possible time, Hong Chengchou's name spread to the outer court!

Outside Guangqumen.

Somewhere in the Fifth Army Camp.

"This Hong Chengchou is not simple."

Xiong Tingbi sat on the commander's chair with a golden sword, casually threw the letter he was holding on the commander's desk in front of him, and looked somewhere with a half-smile, "The left minister of the Ministry of War arrested the right minister of the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of War is now famous. , Yuan Da Sima, you, the Minister of War, may not be able to do well."

As for what Hong Chengchou did, it is not acceptable in today's officialdom. This is obviously a taboo. Those who have been in the officialdom for a long time will probably become disgusted with Hong Chengchou. This is equivalent to directly overturning the table. .

Hong Chengchou has been in the official career for a long time. How could he not know such a simple truth?

It's just that he didn't have a choice.

As long as he has some choice, he will not use such a radical method!

After all, if you want to be an official in the court, official reputation is still very important, but for Hong Chengchou, what he urgently needs now is not official reputation, but to win the trust and reliance of the emperor. Only in this way can he establish a firm foothold in the court. , otherwise everything is just a castle in the air, and if something happens, he will collapse.

"This official job is difficult, so how about Xiong Tirong?"

Facing Xiong Tingbi's gaze, Yuan Keli lifted up his sleeves and asked a question. This made Xiong Tingbi stunned for a moment, and then he clapped his hands and laughed.

"Ha ha!"

"Yuan Liqing, you are really unreasonable and unforgiving."

If someone dared to speak to him like this according to his previous personality, Xiong Tingbi would have turned against him long ago, but now Xiong Tingbi doesn't.

The experience of being arrested and sent to the prison, especially after contacting the emperor, and the words the emperor said to him made Xiong Tingbi think a lot.

Everything in this world should be handled the same without anyone else. Don’t feel that nothing can be done without you.

"I am not concerned about the Ministry of War matters at the moment."

On the other hand, Yuan Keli said with a solemn expression: "The existing scandals in the Ministry of War need people like Hong Chengchou to directly challenge them. If they are not broken, they cannot be established. He, Hong Chengchou, wants to use this to establish his authority, and then gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of War and in the court. , I think it’s pretty good.”

"What really concerns me right now is the transfer order issued by the Ministry of War. Can your various departments in the Beijing camp arrest those who are corrupt and bend the law in various places in Beizhili!"

"You can rest assured of this."

Xiong Tingbi suppressed his smile and looked at Yuan Keli with firm eyes, "A few months ago, even if I could tell the truth, I would definitely not act on the orders."

"But the current Beijing camp is different. Maybe those new soldiers have never been on the battlefield. It may not be possible to ask them to deal with the rampant rebels. But if you go and catch a group of rat scum, there will be no problem at all!"

"What's more, the group of generals leading the team are all powerful generals drawn by His Majesty from various places. Even though their previous military positions were not very high, they all did not say much. I have found a treasure! !”

When Xiong Tingbi mentioned this, the excitement between his brows was undisguised.

Originally, according to Xiong Tingbi's idea, even if the three major battalions of the Fifth Army, Shenji, and Shenshu were replaced, it would be difficult to achieve initial results within a year and a half.

However, the emperor dispatched a group of generals from various places to the capital to use suppression to promote change. He even ordered the Arms Bureau to fully ensure the replacement of the ordnance of the Beijing camp. This series of arrangements made Xiong Tingbi keenly see the capital. Camp changes!

Even if most of the soldiers under the jurisdiction of the Beijing camp are new soldiers, so what?

When a new soldier trains, he must manage three meals a day. The key is to have a meal of meat every few days. In this way, even if he trains to death, no one will be resentful.

After all, having enough to eat these days is definitely a luxury!

"I heard that during this period, during the training of various units in the Beijing camp, there were cases of gunpowder injuring people?" After hearing what Xiong Tingbi said, Yuan Keli's mental arithmetic dropped. Maybe Xiong Tingbi's character was not liked by others, but Xiong Tingbi's character was , Yuan Keli is still clear.

It has always been a matter of spitting and nailing, unlike other people who talk nonsense.

However, when thinking about these things, Yuan Keli also remembered another thing, so he looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked.

"there is."

Xiong Tingbi nodded and said: "There are quite a few injured, more than a thousand of them, but no one is disabled. Fortunately, when the Beijing camp was reorganized, I was ordered to recruit a group of doctors, and all these wounded soldiers were treated. ”

"Don't you think this approach is too radical?"

Yuan Keli frowned and said: "After all, the Beijing camp is to protect the capital and the capital. The Beijing camp is reorganizing and eliminating a large number of old soldiers. The newly recruited soldiers are not yet stable. If there is a mutiny during this period, the consequences..."

"radical?"

Xiong Tingbi smiled and stared at Yuan Keli with his tiger eyes, "We haven't gone to the battlefield yet. Eat well, drink well and sleep well every day to show them the power of gunpowder. I haven't pulled out the artillery yet and asked them to feel the bombardment in the sky. , if they don’t even have this endurance, then they don’t deserve to stay in Jingying, and Jingying doesn’t support waste!!”

Ugh.

Yuan Keli sighed lightly. In fact, he could understand what Xiong Tingbi said. After all, when he was the governor of Denglai, he had not seen the cruelty of the battlefield.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore."

Xiong Tingbi waved his hand and said to Yuan Keli: "The gang of scum in Beizhili will be dealt with by our own people in the capital camp under the orders. But what do you plan to do with those people involved in Beijing?"

"Do you need me to mobilize soldiers to help with the arrest?"

"If what Grand Sima found out is true, then stealing and selling post horses, embezzling food and wages, and arbitrarily increasing the number of troops are small things, but using power to smuggle privately is a serious crime. Previously, there were people in the capital and Gyeonggi who were driving up food prices. Farce, or even a gunpowder smuggling case supervised by the Ministry of Punishment, no one can be sure whether they are involved."

"Being not."

Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "First, remove the thick sores outside the capital one by one. I have my own concerns about those people."

"Play the long game and catch the big fish?"

Xiong Tingbi raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xiong Tingbi knew this kind of operation very well. When he first took up the post of Liaodong Manager, he used this method when he was in charge of Liaodong, and it really made him find out a lot of scandals.

However, the water in Liaodong was too deep. Although many people were captured and killed, what Xiong Tingbiwan did not expect was that the potential connection between Liaodong and the center would be so deep.

If he had not been pulled off his horse when he went to Liaodong to guard after the disastrous defeat in the Battle of Sarhu, perhaps the large area of ​​Liao territory headed by Liaozuo would never have been invaded by Jianluo.

"Since Xiong Tirong has given a guarantee, I won't bother you anymore." Yuan Keli did not answer Xiong Tingbi's words, but lifted up his robe and stood up.

"you……"

Seeing Yuan Keli like this, Xiong Tingbi was stunned. When did he make a sure decision? However, Yuan Keli didn't give Xiong Tingbi a chance and walked straight out of the tent.

"You Yuan Liqing, you are so shady!"

Yuan Keli left without looking back, which made Xiong Tingbi couldn't help laughing and scolding, but Xiong Tingbi didn't say much else. He knew that Yuan Keli's position was difficult.

The Admiral of the Imperial Army in Beijing is in charge of many things, but compared to the Ministry of War, Xiong Tingbi is under relatively less pressure, and Yuan Keli's character is very serious. This also destined Yuan Keli to face constraints and difficulties in the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. The calculations are numerous.

Xiong Tingbi even thought that there would be new disturbances in the court and the capital, and there might even be major changes.

"When will days like this end?"

Thinking of this, Xiong Tingbi couldn't help but sigh. However, Xiong Tingbi also knew that if he wanted to truly stabilize the situation, he would have to shock everyone. After more experience, Xiong Tingbi gradually understood the emperor's will. In the beginning, Why are you so determined!

Daming has no retreat!
