176 The first reorganization of the camp in Beijing


The most common phenomenon in the army is actually the prevalence of private servants among generals.

The origin of this strange system was actually the insufficient military pay allocated by the imperial court.

If the original system was still followed, it is estimated that no army would be able to fight.

In this context, the generals, whether proactively or passively, gradually cut off military pay and spent it on some elite soldiers.

In this way, at least some of the elite can fight tough battles and win them.

It was only later that it evolved to the point where these elite soldiers were turned into the general's own servants, thus eventually forming the strange servant system of the late Ming Dynasty.

This kind of military system must be changed, but because it is too common, Hu Guang is not stupid enough to directly ban the servant system regardless.

Therefore, he did not raise this point to Mangui at this time.

He once again let Man Guiping stand behind him, then turned around and told Liu Xingzuo: "Give their people back to them and let them deal with it themselves."

"The general obeys the order."

Liu Xingzuo immediately accepted the order with clasped fists, and turned around to prepare those people to be taken out of the prison.

Hu Guang pondered for a moment and then continued: "Li Fengxiang has failed me.

He should be dismissed from all his posts and sent to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum."

Generally, the fate of eunuchs with status, that is, eunuchs, if they are not killed, the worst thing is that they are sent to Fengyang to guard the tomb.

Regarding Li Fengxiang, Hu Guang thought that he had made some contributions in the defense of the capital, so he did not kill him.

Moreover, this person can understand what he means and is sometimes a good helper.

Let him go to Fengyang to renovate it, and if necessary, he can consider using it again.

As for other generals at all levels in the Beijing camp, Hu Guang did not mention it, so he naturally asked them to stay in prison for a few days before being dealt with.

He turned to look at Mangui and ordered him: "There is corruption in the capital, and generals at all levels have been imprisoned.

However, now the capital cannot be without generals.

I order you to temporarily take charge of the military affairs of the capital and replace it."

I will take care of the capital."

When Mangui heard this, he couldn't help being surprised.

He looked up at the emperor and was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought that the emperor would punish him, after all, he had made a mistake just now, but he did not expect that the emperor would ask him to temporarily act as governor of Jingying Rongzheng.

This position is generally only held by nobles with a title, and although he was appointed to be responsible for the defense of the capital during the Jianlu invasion of the capital.

But in terms of his own position, he is actually just the general soldier of Datong.

Before he came back to his senses, Hu Guang said again: "You are someone I can trust, and you have proven yourself in the battle to defend the capital.

You also happen to have commanded the capital camp, and you have a good understanding of the capital camp.

Therefore, I think you are very suitable."

After he said these words, Man Gui finally came back to his senses and was extremely pleasantly surprised.

But this time, he seemed to have an idea, and he only heard him say: "The general is afraid that he may not be able to catch it, so I would like to ask your majesty to send a supervisory army to prevent the general from being negligent and making unintentional mistakes."

Originally, in the Beijing camp, civil servants or nobles served as commander-in-chief, that is, as admirals, and later there were eunuchs to supervise the army.

However, at this time, the original admiral was dismissed, and Li Fengxiang, the supervisor, directly became the admiral of the Beijing camp, so there was no additional supervisor.

After hearing Man Gui's words, Hu Guang couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, thinking, even if you don't mention it, I will still send it to you.

But you are so knowledgeable, which is pretty good.

Thinking of this, he turned around and said to Wang Chengen, who was standing beside him like a clay Bodhisattva: "Since Man Qing said so, you should go to the capital camp and help Man Qing manage the capital camp."

Wang Chengen was unprepared and was stunned for a moment.

Fortunately, he was alert and came to his senses immediately.

He was surprised and happy at the same time, and quickly bowed and responded: "My slave obeys the order."

At a young age, he had been promoted to the position of Chief of Ceremonies and Young Supervisor, and he was already as fast as a flying eunuch among the eunuchs.

What he didn't expect was that after only a few days, he was called by the emperor to serve at his side.

In a sense, he had already received divine favor, which was envied by all the eunuchs.

However, at this time, Wang Chengen never expected that in just a few days, the emperor would actually let him serve as the supervisor of the capital camp, which was obviously his important role.

How could this divine favor not surprise him?

After all, he started to be promoted rapidly without doing anything.

Not only him, but also his adoptive father Cao Huachun was very surprised when he heard this, and even vaguely felt a hint of jealousy.

This kid didn't know when his ancestors had accumulated virtues, and he was so favored.

In this world, except for Hu Guang himself, no one else would have thought that Wang Chengen was reused because he was the only eunuch who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen to death in the original history.

After the arrangements were made here, Man Gui and Wang Chengen retreated to the Beijing Camp.

After all, the city defense of the capital and food control are all handled by the sergeants of the capital camp.

They had to take over the capital camp as soon as possible so as not to cause chaos in the capital.

Hu Guang then turned to look at Cao Huachun and said: "The people on the list remain unchanged.

We call them to the Wuying Palace.

I want to meet them in person."

Cao Huachun didn't expect that after such an incident, the list of subordinates remained unchanged.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't dare to have any objections, so he quickly bowed and went to make arrangements.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hu Guang entered the chat group to check out the situation.

I found that Lu Ruipeng in the elementary group had a lot of messages, so I clicked on them to listen.

"Pudu sentient beings, why did you go and tell the truth?"

"I was looked for by the Jin Yiwei just now.

Many people were also looked for by the Jin Yiwei.

Our general banner was taken away."

"It's over, it's over.

This has become a big deal.

I reported an extra number of enemy kills in the credit book I reported.

Jin Yiwei also knows about this.

It's over, it's over."

"Pudu sentient beings, I am definitely out of luck this time.

I don't know if I will be punished.

This is all caused by you.

You also promised that I can join the Dongchang as a servant.

Now I am fine.

What should I do?"

"" In the end, Lu Ruipeng probably never got a reply from Hu Guang, so he left a message angrily: "Why don't you talk?

Are you lying to me?

So I don't dare to show up anymore.

It's all your fault.

A good thing was ruined by you." .

He also said he didn’t want money, so I shouldn’t have believed you then.”

The message was gone here.

Hu Guang couldn't help but shake his head.

If you don't believe it, just wait and see.

How could I not keep my word?

At this moment, Lu Ruipeng's icon was seen shaking: "No, no, the people from Dongchang just called us again.

Now go to the Forbidden City and say that the emperor wants to see us.

The emperor must know We falsely claimed our military exploits, and we have to settle the score."

"They are all talking about what to do.

If the Jinyi Guards go up, the emperor will definitely be very angry.

What if Long Yan gets angry and will he die?

Is it better to be sent to the army?"

Hearing his confused words, Hu Guang was speechless and had to say: "Why are you panicking?

It's a good thing."

As soon as he heard what he said, Lu Ruipeng immediately responded: "You, a liar, are here to deceive me again.

What good things can come from this?"
