Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Emperor Xianzong expanded the ten regiment camps into twelve battalions, which were named the four military camps of Fen, Yao, Lian, and Xian, the four brave camps of Dare, Guo, Effect, and Gu, and the four mighty camps of Li, Stretch, Yang, and Zhen.

The 12 regiments and battalions are divided into 12 military-honored admirals and are supported by the commander-in-chief of Yidu. All the troops come from the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, with a total strength of 140,000.

Fenwu Camp is located outside Beijing. There are fences around the camp and sentry towers every two hundred meters. There are crossbows on the sentry towers, but there are no sentries on them.

Due to the depleted armament of the Beijing army, even the Beijing army defending the imperial capital could not withstand the erosion of time. Today, the weather was cold, and only a few people were practicing in the huge school martial arts field.

Although the admiral of Fenwu Camp is Yongkang Hou Xu Qi, the children of Wu Xun are all born with golden keys in their mouths. Once winter comes, they will not come to the military camp at all.

Although Wu Xun also has generals who can fight, the proportion is not high in terms of proportion. Most of them are idiots like the British Duke Zhang Mao who continue to enjoy the glory and wealth in Beijing in name only.

That's why, now, the real commanders of the 12th Regiment Battalion are the commanders who are backed by big names. They stay in the military camp every day to handle affairs.

In the Chinese army tent, the smell of meat came to the nostrils.

Chen Shulin was sitting on a tiger-skin chair with a copper stove on the low table in front of him. He was happily rinsing the mutton, with soldiers beside him helping to warm the wine.

Since he was promoted to the commander of Fenwu Camp, his life has been very prosperous. Now he can drink and eat meat every day, and casually beat and scold the soldiers under him.

Chen Shulin was happily humming a tune and eating a small drink. Suddenly he heard a bugle sounding outside. He scolded the soldiers who came in: "Who is blowing the bugle randomly and disturbing my general's elegance?"

I'm here eating meat and humming a tune, but I want to go outside to freeze. Isn't this a beating?

"Lord Commander, someone from the palace just came and said that Your Majesty has appointed a military eunuch to take charge of the military affairs of Fenwu Camp!" The soldier who came in from the outside had his nose red from the cold and pointed outside anxiously.

"The eunuch who oversees the army? Aren't you going to sit on my head and dominate me? Come on, I have to take a look!" Chen Shulin immediately dropped the chopsticks in his hand and stood up with great resistance.

It was already freezing cold on the outskirts of Beijing, and a cold wind was blowing from the high platform of the school martial arts field.

Zhang Yong stood in the center of the high platform holding his sword, looking at the soldiers who were slowly gathering. Seeing such lax military discipline, he finally understood why His Majesty wanted to personally teach them how to run the army.

If they do not manage the army well, not only will these people fail to fulfill their mission of protecting their country, but they will also become blood-sucking insects attached to the Ming Dynasty.

"Since ancient times, I have never heard of eunuchs commanding the army. I am not convinced!"

"Yes, I'm not convinced. Why should our elite Fenwu Camp listen to a dead eunuch with no eggs!"

"That's right! How can we, a hot-blooded man, obey an eunuch? Please take back the order and continue to use the old system!"

…

Faced with this sudden decree from the imperial court, the senior officers present immediately objected after seeing Chen Shulin wink as he walked out of the tent.

It was not all because of Chen Shulin. Many soldiers really felt ashamed of the eunuch's leadership, so they also expressed opposition with everyone.

Zhang Yongju looked down at the angry soldiers in the audience, but he knew that this situation would happen, and even more prepared that His Majesty had already anticipated such a situation, but his eyes were full of contempt.

If these soldiers are really elite divisions, then I do lack some masculinity and am not suitable to be the leader of elite divisions. But judging from this sloppy military camp, they are just a bunch of losers.

Since His Majesty has handed over Fenwu Camp to him, he will not disappoint His Majesty and must turn this undisciplined army into an iron-blooded army.

No matter how loud the dog barks, it will eventually let them know who is their master.

"This father-in-law is so handsome!" Chen Shulin led his soldiers onto the high platform. He was originally dissatisfied with the emperor sending eunuchs to take over the military camp, but now he said even more disdainfully when he saw such a young eunuch.

Shh!

After feeling the smell of Chen Shulin's fire, whistles suddenly broke out from the soldiers below, but they all cheered for Chen Shulin and vented their dissatisfaction in this way.

If the imperial court sent a big eunuch like Wang Zhi, they might still accept it, but it would really be a shame to let a hairless little eunuch lead them.

Now that Chen Shulin is coming forward, they will naturally want to support him. It is best to drive this young eunuch back to the palace.

"Commander Chen, give him some color to see!"

"Commander Chen, our Fenwu Camp cannot submit to a eunuch!"

"Commander Chen, we brothers are all your soldiers, you can't be soft!"

…

All the soldiers in the audience knew that Chen Shulin had a strong temper. Now that they saw that Chen Shulin had come to the stage, they all began to cheer.

Chen Shulin raised his hand to the nearly 10,000 soldiers in the audience, who immediately became silent. He couldn't help feeling secretly proud, and looked at Zhang Yong with provocative eyes.

This is Chen Shulin's territory, you little eunuch, get out of here.

Zhang Yong naturally felt the other party's arrogance and contempt, so he said calmly: "Commander of Fenwu Camp, Chen Shulin?"

"It's me, General. I wonder what my father-in-law has ordered?" Chen Shulin looked at the young eunuch, who was a head shorter than himself, with disdain and said cynically.

Zhang Yong ignored Chen Shulin, looked slightly sideways at the accompanying eunuch and said, "Xuan!"

"Chen Shulin, the commander of Fenwu Camp, has handed over many affairs of Fenwu Camp to Eunuch Zhang Yong. I will return home for the time being!" the accompanying eunuch immediately announced the edict.

"You must be pretending to be an edict!" Chen Shulin knelt down and listened to the edict, but suddenly questioned angrily.

Zhang Yong frowned slightly, then looked at Chen Shulin and said, "Are you going to disobey?"

"Haha... Such a ridiculous edict must be a false edict. Even if I agree, the tens of thousands of brothers under me...!" Chen Shulin knew that staying idle was tantamount to dismissal, so he pointed at his subordinates in the audience and threatened.

Just a flash of cold light, Chen Shulin's words stopped abruptly, and a stream of blood spattered.

In the eyes of everyone, they saw that Chen Shulin's head had been chopped off, and his head rolled down from the stage, while Chen Shulin's eyes seemed to be fixed in death.

"died?"

"He...he killed Chen Papi?"

"How is it possible? Isn't this eunuch too fierce?"

…

When the soldiers in the audience saw that Zhang Yong actually beheaded Chen Shulin in public, and there was not even a trace of sloppiness from drawing the sword to swinging it out, they couldn't help but murmured in shock.

Zhang Yong sheathed the bloody sword, looked at the soldiers below proudly and said: "The Zajia are the military governors under the orders. Anyone who disobeys the orders will be killed! Whoever dares to disobey will be disobeyed and will be killed." !”

"The general will pay homage to the Lord Governor!"

All the soldiers exchanged glances, and soon realized that this young eunuch was a ruthless character who dared to risk his life, so they immediately chose to surrender and kneel down.

Zhang Yong knew that he had achieved his goal of killing people and establishing his authority, so he immediately announced the first order: "Your Majesty wants iron-blooded warriors who can protect the family and the country, not a bunch of drunkards. From today on, it will be changed to a five-day operation." !”

"General, I obey!" All the soldiers suddenly felt their anus tighten, but they knew that the court was serious this time, so they all chose to obey.

Although Zhang Yong's iron-fisted methods successfully took over Fenwu Camp, there will inevitably be some problems in taking over the other eleven battalions. After all, it is impossible for every eunuch to be as decisive as Zhang Yong.

In the martial arts training camp, the eunuch Gu Kaiyuan was commanded by Luo Li to fight back; in the Guo Yong camp, the eunuch Gao Jin was frightened by the commander and fled; in the Weiwei camp, the eunuch Ma Quan was killed by the commander Zhou Lie.

"Commander Zhou is mighty!"

When the soldiers of the Yangwei camp saw Zhou Lie beheading the eunuch Ma Quan who came to lead them, they were slightly stunned at first, and then they burst out with a voice like a mountain roar.

Zhu Youtang's approach of taking over the 12th Regiment Battalion is undoubtedly radical. After all, in the current system of the 12th Regiment Battalion, civil servants, Wu Xun and the royal family have formed a tripartite co-management model.

Like Emperor Chenghua, he could first send twelve eunuchs to supervise the army, and share the twelve regiments and camps with civil servants and Wu Xun, and then discuss the plan. However, Zhu Youtang now directly eliminated Wu Xun and the civil service group, but he wanted eunuchs to take charge of the army for him.

When he came to the throne, he didn't care about the twelve regiments and battalions, but now he suddenly has to eliminate the twelve commanders who actually control the army. Especially because these commanders are used to dominating the army, some commanders will definitely not be able to accept it.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is now the Wen Emperor. Their climb to this position was not given by the emperor, but by holding on to the thighs of Wu Xun or civil servants. Why did the emperor withdraw immediately?

"Pass my word, the whole city is on alert, and the traitors are tracked down!" Zhu Youtang wanted to use this kind of urgency to find the slippery generals, and immediately issued the order.
