The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Dongguanting camp.

Tang Ritian carried a long halberd and walked straight to the general ordering platform.

Under the stage were 50,000 elite new troops, all selected by the Twelve Marquises of the regiment.

The three-day deadline has come and all the soldiers are in place. However, there is something wrong with the money, food and soldiers that Xu Jin is responsible for.

This result was still within Tang Hao's acceptable range.

At least the Twelfth Marquis of Tuanying was honest and did not dare to confront him, the Marquis of Zhongshan.

One by one, everything is clearly recorded in the history books.

"You just need to practice. If anyone uses you for no reason, report it to me immediately!"

But not long after, the ZTE Emperor not only put the capital back into heavy work, but also became obsessed with Buddhism and Taoism, built temples, and doted on his relatives. As a result, the occupation of the capital became more and more serious, except when necessary. Royal and public projects, including some completely unnecessary temples and some projects for the royal relatives and relatives, were all completed by sergeants from the Beijing camp.

Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, wanted to replace him as an associate civil servant, but the director of etiquette directly refused to approve it, so the matter could not be done.

Han Wenli, the Minister of Household Affairs, ignored him, let alone allocating money and food. He was simply on guard against him, Xu Jin, and Tang Hao!

There is only one reason. The Beijing army was completely destroyed, and it was in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi!

He really killed the tiger and saved His Majesty the Emperor!

Due to the boom in civil engineering during the Hongzhi period and the intensive construction projects, which were all borne by the soldiers of the Beijing army, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp almost did not conduct normal drills. The good army became a labor force. Its heavy labor and food and salary were withheld, which made the soldiers even more miserable. They couldn't bear it and fled one after another.

"Instead of being a dog to the powerful, letting them drive you as they please, and letting them usurp your food and wages!"

Everyone present couldn't help but gasped when they saw this.

Because with Tang Hao's violent temper, he might really stab himself to death with a halberd.

Originally, they still didn't quite believe the rumors about the Zhongshan Marquis.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

I recall that in those days, Emperor Yongle flew six times and made five crossings, first attacking the Tatars and then the Oaras. During his lifetime, the northern captives were so scared that they did not dare to look south, and his army numbered more than 500,000.

"That's the one, Tang Hao, who killed the tiger and saved His Majesty the Emperor in the Nanyuan Tiger Case!"

In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, the officers and soldiers were ordered to repair the inner and outer cities, the gates of the inner palace, the Sheji Altar, the Meridian Gate and the nine-door city gate.

For a moment, the soldiers looked at Tang Hao with eyes that gradually became fanatical.

As a result, the Zhengde Dynasty lasted for three years.

But the problem is that he really failed to accomplish what Tang Hao asked him to do, the matter of money, food and soldiers!

They always felt that Tang Hao, the Marquis of Zhongshan, said these words deliberately to target them.

The assistant minister Xu Jin, the gun supervisor Wei Bin, and the 12th Marquis of the Regiment Camp all looked a little unnatural.

But Xu Jin was a little confused at this moment.

In fact, there are many reasons why the Ming Dynasty's Beijing army declined. For example, the powerful invaded and occupied farmlands and pastures for personal gain, and deducted monthly payments from sergeants. The elite soldiers in the Beijing army were overwhelmed and fled in large numbers, resulting in a sharp reduction in the number of troops in the Beijing army; for example, Cao Yue Declined, with low combat effectiveness, the Beijing army gradually declined and was unable to save...

To be honest, thousands of people responded to the uprising, and almost all of them were peasants who were illiterate. A normal court would have sent troops to destroy them long ago.

This was the first time that Emperor Hongzhi used the soldiers of the Beijing army, and it also gave those royal relatives, princes and nobles a bad start!

In March of the 10th year of Hongzhi's reign, the emperor also built warehouses and Wanchun Palace, and ordered more than 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to go and build them. In October of the same year, he sent 8,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to build a house for his mother-in-law, Mrs. Jin, and 5,000 people to worship God. Optimistically, 3,000 people built the city tower, 3,000 people built the tomb of the eldest princess of Chongqing, and more than 10,000 people were sent to collect firewood.

Tang Hao listened to the cheers of the soldiers and smiled on his face.

In the past, whether in the Beijing camp or the regiment camp, you guys used sergeants to usurp food and salary, so that was it. Tang Hao couldn't control it, and he was not qualified to do so.

Especially Xu Jin, the assistant minister and minister of the Ministry of War, is in a rather embarrassing situation now.

During the Chenghua period, the occupation of Beijing camp was mainly for the purpose of building public works. However, when the master of Zhongxing came to the throne, it was intensified and more for his own selfishness. The destruction of Beijing camp was at the hands of the master of Zhongxing in Ming Dynasty. !

In the sixth year of Hongzhi, the emperor ordered three battalions of officers and soldiers to build the tombs of his father-in-law Zhang Luan and Princess Xianyou. In addition, he also repaired Xuanwu Gate, Jinshui River, Huanyi Bureau and other places. The three battalions of officers and soldiers were sent to When there were not enough people, they were allotted from the regiment camp. Ma Wensheng, the Minister of War at that time, asked to stop and return the army to drill to maintain their vigor. However, Xiaozong still ordered the officers and soldiers to complete the above projects as soon as possible.

And this is even more so in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi. The Lord of ZTE has never regarded the soldiers of the Beijing Army as human beings!

More than 60,500 people were selected to select these 50,000 elites.

"Your duty should be to protect the country and the people, and defend the Ming Dynasty!"

"You are the soldiers of the Beijing Army!"

This Marquis of Zhongshan is so powerful!

"Remember the first rule!"

And Tang Hao didn't waste any time and directly set the first rule for the new army!

"Remember, you are soldiers, not others' slaves!"

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of these powerful people, if the world is at peace for a long time, there will definitely be no war anyway. It is useless for these Beijing army soldiers to practice every day. It is better to build a house for their own family, which will make them appear to be somewhat useful. .

So in October of the seventeenth year of Hongzhi, the censor Liu Huai reported that there were more than 15,000 military buildings in the second battalion of "Yin Zhong" and "Xiao Yi", which were used to house the officers and soldiers when they were dispatched and drilled. However, nearly 20 The year has never been used, and the emperor is asked to select brave men to send to the regiment camp for training.

"If anyone still wants to enslave you, tell me immediately, and I will stab him to death!"

…

Tang Hao looked at the soldiers in the audience and shouted loudly: "My officer, the Marquis of Zhongshan, Tang Hao!"

"The great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs!"

But now that Zhongshan Hou himself admitted it, it was true.

They were obviously soldiers of the Beijing Army who maintained their fighting power, but were then dragged into working as coolies, building houses and courtyards for the powerful, including building palaces, city walls, mausoleums, etc.

"Or maybe some of you are willing to be dogs for the powerful, but after being tracked down by this prince, I will stab you to death with a piece of shit!"

The uprising lasted for three years. This group of rebels moved to the north and south of Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Huguang and other vast areas. As a result, the court could not pacify the situation. It could only let the local guards continue to attack, and dispatched border troops to Beijing to encircle and suppress this group. Rebel Army.

The first rule of the new army is not to be a dog to the powerful!

This rule is not only for the soldiers, but also for Xu Jin, Wei Bin, the Twelve Marquis and others.

Xu Jin had no choice but to continue to stay in the Dongguanting camp and serve as an associate minister.

Fighting a tiger with manpower can be said to be a brave act against ten thousand enemies.

These words were more vulgar and straightforward, and the soldiers of the three armies could naturally understand them, and there were cheers and cheers immediately after.

Therefore, Xu Jin's current situation is indeed quite difficult.

But now, this Dongguanting camp is his home ground of Zhongshan Hou.

Liu Liu and Liu Qi initially robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and were known as "thieves." They launched an uprising in Bazhou, and thousands of farmers responded. The following year, the rebel army invaded Shandong from Hebei, and later attacked the capital from Shandong.

But now, of the famous three major battalions of the capital, there are only a few elites left, and they are also mixed with the spies and tricks of various forces.

And this is also the last fighting strength of the Ming Dynasty’s capital army!

For twenty years, the military buildings at the training campus have been empty, and all the soldiers are doing corvee labor. At this time, the Beijing Camp has ceased to exist in name only!

Tang Hao vaguely remembered that during the Chenghua period, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were able to put down the rebellion in Jingxiang and Datengxia. However, in the early years of Zhengde, when Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled, the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp were completely unable to resist.

This is the first person to treat these soldiers as human beings, powerful and noble!

After Hongwu and Yongle, due to the long period of peace, the corruption within the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty became increasingly serious. The Beijing army became the target of servitude. A large number of soldiers were enslaved and a large number of horses, weapons, food and other materials were misappropriated.

But the biggest reason is still the issue of "service occupation".

During the Chenghua period, the occupation of Beijing camp had become a bad policy.

When Emperor Hongzhi came to the throne, he listed it as one of the bad policies of the previous dynasty and abolished it in the imperial edict, and ordered that after the construction of the mountain tomb was completed, the officers and soldiers in the Beijing camp were not allowed to do other work.

"Whether he is a military commander, an associate minister, or a eunuch overseeing the gun, I picked up a knife and chopped off his dog's head. Do you understand?"

Now the Beijing army is in the capital, which makes people sigh with regret.

Tang Hao holds the political dirt in his hands, and it can be said that he is unable to advance or retreat.

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, more than half of the soldiers in the Beijing camp escaped, and more than 100,000 people were not training, and there were so many soldiers in the regiment camp, which was simply shocking!

But even so, the master of Zhongxing still didn't take it seriously, and continued to play music and dance, and those who should be served must still be served. Anyway, it is impossible for all the soldiers of the Beijing army to escape.

It would be better if you pay me, at least you can get paid for your hard work, but let alone wages, those powerful people will also deduct your monthly salary and embezzle your food and salary!

Tang Ritian slammed the halberd in his hand onto the ground, and with a loud bang, he punched a hole in the ground of the high platform.

If you dare to use sergeants to usurp food and wages again, I will stab you to death with a halberd!

After hearing this, the soldiers raised their arms and beat their chests one after another, expressing their respect for Tang Hao with practical actions!

In the thirteenth year of Hongzhi's reign, Liu Fang, the supervisory censor, reported that "more than half of the sergeants have fled from the base of the capital." "There are no less than 100,000 soldiers in Jinyi Tengxiang and other guards, and the number is not the number of drills. Although regiments and camps have been established in recent years, But there are many who enslaved, occupied, sold and released them.”

It's not because I'm using sergeants, it's because I didn't get the money, food, and armor!

What should I do?
