Ming Dynasty: I, Emperor Chongzhen, swear not to go to Meishan

A month later, Shen Baichuan, the governor of Jinyiwei, came to the palace to deliver a mission. He spent nearly a month and a lot of effort and energy, and finally eliminated Tingfeng Xiaoyutang and Sihaimeng, the underground forces that dominated the capital.

Yu Wei, the chief leader of Tingfeng Xiaoyu Hall, was assassinated by Tian Wujiu on the bed of Chun Shiyiniang, the oiran of Lichun Court. Wu Bufan, the leader of the Four Seas Alliance, was shot in the head by Shen Nishang with a short blunderbuss in the wilderness.

In addition, there were two gangs of guardian elders and other masters who were either assassinated by the two men, or were arrested for committing crimes and were imprisoned. In the past, the government did not bother to pay attention to such trivial matters. Even if they were really imprisoned, they would spend some money to deal with it and they would be gone in a few days. will be released.

But as soon as Jin Yiwei jumped in, everything turned into trouble, and small things turned into big things. Anyway, those who were put into Jin Yiwei's prison, and those who were on the blacklist disappeared from the world. Those who were not on the blacklist, even if they were released, became useless.

They had offended too many people before and were afraid of being retaliated. It was too late to run away anonymously, so they still dared to jump out and cry out for their gang leader?

The disciples of the two gangs were killed because the gang leader was inexplicably killed, and the high-status guardian elders in the gang also died, disappeared, and were arrested. The group was leaderless and people were in panic. Shen Baichuan took the opportunity to take action and brought down the two gangs in one go. All conquered.

There are mostly unruly and reckless people in the world. Naturally, some people are dissatisfied. These people have been thrown into the prison of Jinyiwei. At this point, everyone knows that they are afraid and cry for father and mother, but it is already too late. , they were either evaporated from the world, or sent to work in remote mining areas where there was no place for people to work. If they could live for five years, they were considered lucky.

Shen Baichuan's ruthless and iron-blooded methods scared the gang disciples into obedience. However, he did not just suppress and intimidate. After wielding the big stick, the next step was to give candy, money, welfare, and comfort. He bought people's hearts and spent a small amount of money to finally get those anxious gang disciples to return to their hearts.

After finishing these things, he dared to truly relax, took the time to write a letter, and went to the palace to meet the saint.

"Very good." Zhu Youjian was very satisfied with this. He was never stingy with meritorious ministers. In addition to rewarding 10,000 taels of silver, some silk cloth, and several valuable glazed zodiac vessels.

He had no choice but to do whatever it took to make money. He deceived his own people. A glass wine cup could be sold for tens or even hundreds of taels of silver. A glass zodiac sign could be sold for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands times. price.

Privately, he himself was a little embarrassed. This might be the most exaggerated lie in the history of the Ming Dynasty?

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Baichuan's face turned red with excitement. The Emperor rewarded him with several glazed zodiac signs, which are worth a lot of money. The key is that these things are priceless, and they are gifts from the emperor, which are priceless treasures.

He happily brought a few treasures home to make his wife happy. After coaxing and coaxing him, his wife coaxed him into bed and nearly broke his waist.

****************

One night when the cold wind howled, Tian Boguang, the acting commander of the Jinyi Guards, quietly entered the palace to meet the saint.

"Your Majesty, it has been found out that the land belongs to Yu Jiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Industry." Tian Boguang reported in a low voice.

"Is he willing to sell it?" Zhu Youjian asked. He took the time to wander outside the city and found a large piece of land more than 20 miles south of the city. Most of it was ownerless wasteland, and a small part had been reclaimed. Planting belongs to the owner's land.

He wants to build a Royal Army Academy. In addition to the academy, there are also training grounds, dormitories, warehouses, etc., as well as a supporting barracks, and a large piece of land is needed.

There is not much time left for him. Now that he has money, he must mobilize his troops. He already has ideas and plans to form the Third Royal Regiment, but there is a shortage of officers at all levels, especially a large number of grassroots officers.

The commander is the soul of a unit, and the junior officers are the skeleton of the unit, which requires a lot of training and learning. Nowadays, most of the junior officers in several units are illiterate and cannot even write their own names. It stands to reason that Unqualified, but there is no other way, there is really no one left, so we can only make do with it for the time being.

As the number of troops increases, more and more junior officers are needed, and the military becomes more and more standardized. It is impossible not to get the Royal Army Academy started.

After the college site has been selected, as soon as the issue of ownership of the small piece of land is resolved, trees can be cut down to fill the hole and various building materials can be prepared.

"Master Yu doesn't want to sell." Tian Boguang replied. He arranged for someone to pretend to be a businessman to talk to Yu Jiang. They even offered a price that was nearly half higher than the market price, but Yu Jiang still didn't want to sell and even let it go. , don’t come here again, and won’t sell it no matter how high the price is.

"Is the old guy from the Donglin Party?" Zhu Youjian frowned slightly and asked in a cold voice. The old guy didn't know how to raise his head.

If it is from the Jiangnan faction, this matter can still be discussed. The worst is to ask Ruan Dacheng to come forward. If it is from the Donglin Party, other means can only be used.

"Yes, the old guy and Qian Qianyi are very close."

"Check, check carefully for me." Zhu Youjian said through gritted teeth, with a cold and murderous look in his eyes.
