Chapter 705: Capital Defense


"Xue Lu is on a northern tour, and he is not in the capital at the moment, he is really a heavenly help to the prince" Wang Bin, the commander of the left guard of Tiance, said with a smile: "Now the person in charge of the right capital is Zhang Yong, the prince's brother-in-law, and it is easy to escalate him." otbnkotgt "It's better not to be careless, let him die violently if necessary, the dead are the most reassuring."

Zhuang Jingyin measured: "When you go back, you have to talk to your subordinates more, and your tone slightly reveals your dissatisfaction with the prince, just click on it, you don't need to say it deeply."

Look at their reactions, and if it's too drastic, get rid of it as well.

In short, it is necessary to ensure that the 600,000 forbidden troops are under control by then. ” Wang Ning and Song Hu nodded, this was exactly what they wanted, but Li Maofang was dissatisfied and said, "My people can take on greater responsibility, and it is not a problem to attack the East Palace for my uncle." ” "Haha, okay."

Although Li Maofang's words are two, at this time, Zhu Gaoxu needs someone to drive the momentum, so he praised it: "Maofang is brave and brave, his heart is commendable, and he will make great contributions in the future, and it doesn't hurt if my uncle rewards you as a county king." ” "Then let's thank my uncle first."

Li Maofang was overjoyed when she heard this.

But everyone felt that the prince's statement was a little unlucky.

You must know that although the Ming Dynasty does not have a rule that a different surname is not crowned a king, but its difficulty is so high that it is a virtual reality, and even the great heroes of the founding of the country such as Xu Da and Chang Yuchun, and the great heroes of Jingnan such as Zhang Yu and Zhu Neng, were posthumously crowned the king of the county after his death.

Therefore, it is almost an unwritten rule that a different surname is not crowned a king, and when the King of Han said this, doesn't it mean that Li Maofang will hang up "Second," Zhuang Jing hurriedly diverted the topic, and slowly lowered his middle finger and said, "For the defense of the capital, it must be firmly in your hands." ” The capital is the center of the empire, and it has been the top priority of a national defense in all dynasties.

When each dynasty was founded, it would sum up the lessons of its predecessors and establish a more complete defense system for the capital.

The defense of this dynasty is even more at its peak, one is to learn from the Song Dynasty, the elite of the whole country will be stationed in the capital, to ensure the absolute security of the capital, but the 700,000 forbidden troops under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies are mainly to deter the local people from rebelling, and the defense of the capital is not allowed to interfere.

As for the defense in the capital, it is mainly responsible for the Shangzhi Army, also known as the Shangzhiwei.

This is the army of the Son of Heaven, commanded by the emperor himself, guarding the gates of various important places in the capital and guarding the safety of the capital.

However, these days, the Son of Heaven's pro-army must not leave the emperor, and most of them have already gone north with Emperor Hu.

At present, there are only three military guards left in the capital, left, and right, guarding the city gates.

In addition to the forbidden army, there are also the five city soldiers and horses responsible for the security of the capital, this army is similar to the armed police of later generations, and the combat effectiveness and equipment can not be compared with the forbidden army, but at present, the capital is empty, and the five soldiers and horses, 15,000 soldiers and horses, are very important.

For the King of Han, what is even more depressing is that the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is subordinate to the Ministry of War, and is not under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Ministry of War is Shangshu Fang Bin, and he is a party of the prince, if this problem is not solved, it will inevitably be a trouble at that time.

But even if it's a trouble, it's only a small trouble at best, because on top of these troops, there are also Jinyi guards who are everywhere and monitor everything, and the troops under Ji Gang's command have swelled to 30,000 in and around the capital alone, and they can replace them at any time.

It's just that Ji Gang's secret agent system all over the capital, as well as the underworld forces he painstakingly cultivated, have all been swept away by the Beizhen Fusi, otherwise it is now the place where those people come into play, and the even more hateful thing is the Beizhen Fusi, which was originally the most powerful weapon of Jinyiwei, but now it has become a sharp weapon for the other party to fight against himself, which is really hateful.

"Although the defense of the capital is complicated and mutually contained, the situation is greatly favorable to us."

Zhuang Jingru said: "The prince has been in charge of the upper guard on behalf of the emperor for a long time, and most of the old subordinates of the prince, and the left and right guards of the government army, from top to bottom, are all the old subordinates of the prince, and the hearts of these people are all towards the prince."

It's just that I don't know how many people can be persuaded by the prince himself to come forward."

"Ninety percent."

Zhu Gaoxu said in a deep voice.

"The prince is so confident," Zhuang Jing asked.

"It's all the soldiers I brought out, and I let them die, and I won't frown."

Zhu Gaoxu looked forward to Zixiong and said: "It is already very conservative to only say ninety percent and leave one percent of variables." ” "But it seems that Zhang Hui, the commander of the right guard of the government army, has a lot of friendship with Wang Xian."

Zhuang Jing said worriedly.

"Haha, don't worry, the avant-garde of the government army is the army of the British Duke, and Zhang Hui's words are not good."

Zhu Gaoxu said indifferently: "What kind of friendship I have with Zhang Fu, I grew up together with a bare ass" "I can't be careless."

Song Hu suddenly said: "The British Duke has become so bad over the years, he doesn't play with us when he comes back, he stays at home all day and doesn't go out, and he returns to Jiaozhi after less than two months in the capital. ” "He did it for the emperor."

Zhu Gaoxu didn't like to listen to this: "In those years on the battlefield, I saved him a few times, and he couldn't pay it back in his life.

Although the British Duke has been away from Jiaozhi all these years, and everyone is not as close as before, even if he does not support me, he will not stab me.

He said in a muffled voice: "I'll write a letter to him, reveal a little bit of meaning, and see what he says," "It's fine."

Zhuang Jing nodded and said: "If you can control these three guards and forbidden troops in your hands, you will be able to control all the gates of the capital, but I don't know what the variable in the eyes of the prince is."

"Xu Yedonkey of the Left Guard of the Government Army" Zhu Gaoxu said coldly, and sighed with a little headache: "Originally, the left guard of the Government Army was Niu Qian and Ma Yan, but my father forced that Tartar to be stuffed in, and the two Niu and Ma were naturally unhappy, and they joined forces to squeeze him from time to time, Xu Yedonkey looked for me a few times, and I was perfunctory.

He thought I was partial to the cows and horses, and he had a grudge in his heart from then on.

A while ago, I sent someone to stop my army, and I was beaten up by Lao Wei and them, and I heard that this guy has always held a grudge. ” What the King of Han said was the last time Wang Xian returned to Beijing from Hetao, and the brawl he saw outside the city gate, Xu Yedon's people were obviously on official duty, but they were beaten all over the ground by the subordinates of the King of Han who openly robbed the military rations, and it was impossible for anyone to be without grievances.

"Who did you listen to?"

asked Ji Gang.

"Niu Qian and Ma Yan" Zhu Gaoxu also knew that he had a problem with listening and believing, and his old face turned red and said: "Okay, I'll find him in the house in a few days, and let Lao Wei and them accompany him, if he knows each other, Gu will naturally not treat him badly."

"Prince" Wei Hong was not happy for a few times.

"The eldest husband can bend and stretch, and when he passes this hurdle, he can still ride on your neck and," Han Wang glared.

"Yes," the generals reluctantly agreed.

"If he doesn't know each other, hum" Zhu Gaoxu snorted: "Lone will make him into donkey meat and burn him" "Then there are fifty percent of the soldiers and horses, this army is under the management of the military department, Fang Bin is an old fox, there is more than enough success and more failure, and he can't be careless."

Zhuang Jing said again.

"You're so right," King Han thought deeply of Zhuang Jing's words: "The surname Fang is a ruined old bastard, and the lonely Tiance left and right guards have not been established yet, just because of him." ” "Yes."

Zhuang Jing nodded and said, "Although Fang Bin is not obvious, he is obviously more inclined to the latter between the prince and the crown prince.

It's hard to expect him to come to us.

But this force must be in our hands. ” The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division is divided into five divisions of soldiers and horses in the east, west, south, north, and middle, and there are 250 military stations all over the capital, which are responsible for street security, patrols, fire prevention, theft prevention, and other affairs, and have the closest relationship with the people.

Therefore, if you want to control the capital, you must control the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

"Can we bypass the military headquarters?"

someone asked.

"Well, Lone and Lao Ji have been doing this recently."

King Han nodded and said, "Taking the opportunity of martial law in the whole city, I temporarily took over the Soldiers and Horses. ” "The surname Fang can agree," Song Hu said with wide eyes.

"Of course he doesn't want to, but he's even more afraid of Lao Tzu going crazy."

King Han proudly touched a handful of steel needle-like beards, and said a little depressed: "Lone's son is tied up, of course he doesn't dare to mess with me at this moment."

Everyone understood what King Han said, that is, the situation is special now, and Fang Bin can only endure it.

But this can't be the norm, and once the King of Han wants to do something else, Fang Shangshu will definitely take back control.

"Taking advantage of the vacancy in our hands," Ji Gang said: "I and the prince tried our best to win over those commanders, those guys were inferior, and the prince personally went out to invite them to drink, those guys were flattered one by one, and they couldn't wait to take out their hearts and give them to the prince." ” "Hmm, take your time, it's really not good, let Fang Bin return to the west."

King Han knew that it was not so easy to snatch food from Fang Bin's mouth, don't look at those soldiers and horses commanders who showed their loyalty in front of him, but once they returned to Fang Bin's hands, it was still a question of whether he could remember what he had said.

"Hehe, you don't need to be so conspicuous, it's very simple to deal with civil officials."

Zhuang Jingyin smiled and said: "Fang Bin's father is still in Hangzhou in his eighties, let people give the old man a ride, and the surname Fang will have to go back to his hometown obediently."

"Zhuang Jing is talking about the imperial court's Ding Wei system, according to the etiquette system, when parents and grandparents die, officials should immediately go to work Ding Wei, and the military attache Ding Wei has a shorter time, only 100 days.

However, civil officials have to serve 27 months before they can be reinstated, and they are embarrassed to report and request reinstatement as soon as the time comes.

Of course, the emperor has the right to revenge the minister, but that is all in times of war, or it is indeed an important task, but with the peace of the world, the emperor has paid more and more attention to etiquette and law, and it has been a long time since he has not taken revenge on anyone.

In the ninth year of Yongle, the first assistant of the cabinet, Hu Guang's mother, was mourned, and after he was on the Ding Wei chapter, he originally expected the emperor to exempt him for these three years, but who knew that the emperor did not even have a symbolic retention, so he granted him leave.

However, the emperor also sent his grandson to Jiangxi to pay tribute on his behalf, indicating that he still respected Hu Guang very much.

Therefore, the officials knew that the reason why the emperor did not win affection was purely from the consideration of emphasizing etiquette.

The effect of using the rules of the cabinet was also immediate, and since then, no official has expected the emperor to be particularly gracious:
