Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Chapter 74 Aftermath 6

"The rebels have been punished. Officers from one hundred households or more will be tried at Fusi, Beizhen!" Qian Yi glanced at Zhou Lie's headless body and announced calmly to the soldiers of Yangwei Camp.

The soldiers of the Yangwei Camp knew that this was indeed a big disaster. Since more than a hundred generals were being tried this time, the soldiers present were naturally unlikely to have any objections.

What's more, they have long disliked these relatives. If the imperial court can remove all these losers from their posts, it will be a good thing that everyone will be happy with.

As for the senior generals of the Yangwei Camp, after seeing what happened to Zhou Lie, not to mention that he had no courage to resist at all, and resisting would undoubtedly follow in Zhou Lie's footsteps.

Maybe they have all the big shots backing them, but if they really think they can challenge the imperial power, it can only be said that they don't take the lives of their whole family seriously.

Since the two commanders of Lianwu Camp and Guoyong Camp both ran to find their backers, and as the rebellion in Yangwei Camp was quelled by the imperial guards led by Qian Yi, the chaotic situation in the third camp was brought under control.

This rebellion was not really a rebellion. After all, there were not many people involved, and none of the rebels aimed to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that there is never so much truth to be said in the struggle in the court. Just the fact that the three battalion commanders resisted the decree is bound to make many people lose their heads.

Not only were Jin Yiwei on errands, but Dongchang was also dispatched one after another to make urgent arrests of "rebellious parties".

After Zhu Youtang learned that the rebellion of the third battalion had been put down, he issued twelve edicts again and ordered the military commander of the twelfth battalion to stay idle.

In the initial military reform, he just wanted to kick out the civilian clique, but the twelve military officers were still in charge of the capital camp and might even be reused.

However, in this turmoil, except for the three military admirals who were implicated, the other nine military admirals obviously seriously neglected their duties and failed to effectively restrain the regiment.

Zhu Youtang was not malicious towards Wu Xun, but he did not have a good impression.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the household registration system has been implemented, and it has high hopes for generals, but it has long been proven that this is an unrealistic idea.

From a basic point of view, selecting the best person from among 140,000 soldiers to lead the army will be better than the sons born to the original outstanding generals.

There are many reasons why Zhu Yunwen lost the throne, but he was undoubtedly the biggest victim of the superstitious blood theory. He handed over his army to Cao Guogong Li Jinglong, but Li Jinglong, who held the king's explosive card, finally lost.

Although the martial arts in the Tumubao Incident were defeated by the right time, place and people, judging from the fact that they were destroyed by the regiment, this is enough to illustrate the problem of the martial arts system.

History has long proven that the heroes who can save a building from collapse are never these military veterans with world certificates, but rather the grassroots generals who serve the country with loyalty.

Taking Li Jinglong's lineage as an example, he first helped Zhu Di open the gate of Nanjing City, and then helped Jiannu open the gate of Nanjing City. These martial arts are actually nothing more than maggots.

Perhaps among so many martial arts, there are indeed a few that are barely usable, but compared to the 140,000 people in the Beijing camp, he wants to choose from them, and these people will cherish the road to the imperial court more.

Fusi, North Town, in prison.

Wynn got up in the morning and was taken here before he could put on his clothes. He stayed in this damp and dark dungeon, shivering with cold.

Even though he has fallen into this notorious prison, his heart is still full of hope of getting out.

Even if he accidentally made a false edict, with his many years of connections in the officialdom, those officials would definitely speak for him and help him get out of here.

Just slowly, as the number of people in this dungeon increased, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. When I saw Yu Zijun, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, he couldn't help but stare.

"Please!" The cell door was opened, and a cell leader said to the Minister of War, Yu Zijun.

Yu Zijun found that he and Wynn were neighbors, but he had nothing to do with the eunuch, so he chose to sit down on the clean bed board in the cell.

Zhu Ji sent people to tidy up this cell. Although the stench in the air could not be removed, the advantage was that this cell had a clean place to sit and lie down.

People like Luo Li and others do not have such benefits. Not only do they have to live in a multi-person cell, but it is also dirty and smelly, and there is not even a clean place to stand.

"The Marquis of Taining Chen Huan?"

"Gu Pu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan?"

"Tan Yu, Marquis of Chong'an?"

Wynn had not yet recovered from the shock of Yu Zijun being imprisoned, and when he saw the three marquis being imprisoned, he couldn't help but stare in shock.

Although he vaguely guessed that there was a major change in the court, seeing the high-ranking officials and Wu Xun coming in, plus himself as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, it was like a "beheading operation" from the emperor.

Zhu Ji suddenly appeared, led a man in, opened Huaien's cell and said with a smile: "Eunuch Huai, please squeeze this cell!"

Wynn had a head start when he was imprisoned this time, but he got the best cell in the entire Beizhen Fusi Prison. However, after seeing the person who came in clearly, he looked extremely shocked and said: "English... British company?"

The dignified Duke was taken to the prison of Beizhen Fusi. This was something that had never happened before in the Ming Dynasty, but now it happened before his eyes.

The British Duke Zhang Mao is like an eggplant beaten by frost, this time it can be said to be an unforeseen disaster.

After the incident, the British government had no idea what was happening in the outside world, and when he returned home in the morning, he listened to the Three Kingdoms drama in the back house as usual.

When he learned that the commander of Guoyong Camp, Lin Guodong, had asked for an audience, he warmly entertained the commander who took the initiative to watch a drama together without even thinking about it. He even became concerned about the training situation of Guoyong Camp.

It wasn't until people from Dongchang came to his door that he realized that Lin Guodong was a traitor who violated the order. He was also sent to Beizhen Fusi Prison for harboring traitors from the imperial court.

"Yu Shangshu, why did you come in?" Zhang Mao naturally knew that Huai'en was being held here, and looked at Yu Zijundao next door in surprise.

Xu Zijun didn't want to magnify his matter, so he chose to lie and said: "I was falsely accused by an adulterer, but I am not guilty. Your Majesty will definitely make your subordinates innocent! Mr. British, why are you in here too?"

"My father-in-law was also falsely accused by an adulterer, but he is not guilty. Your Majesty will definitely clear my father-in-law's name!" Zhang Mao thought about Lin Guodong's behavior and said with certainty.

Seeing that these two people were counting on the emperor, Wynn said in a strange way: "You have to rely on yourself for everything! You are really burdened by an adulterer. If you find that person and beat him up, he will naturally become honest!"

"Shut up!" Zhang Mao was in a bad mood and scolded him directly.

In his heart, Huai En looked down on the idiot Zhang Mao, so he said sarcastically: "I'm afraid this is the only time in the Ming Dynasty that a noble prince has behaved like you!"

"You eunuch, if it weren't for you to correct the imperial edict, why would I be like this!" Zhang Mao looked down upon this eunuch with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and immediately accused him angrily.

Huh?

Taining Marquis Chen Huan and others in the next cell looked over belatedly, and suddenly seemed to understand something, gritting their teeth and glaring at Wynn angrily.

If we want to trace the origin, the cause of the incident is this dead eunuch.

If Huaien hadn't issued the corrective edict, then Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, would not have mentioned the matter of abolishing the reserve again, and would not have mentioned it later. Naturally, His Majesty would not have ordered the eunuch to be in charge of the army for no reason.

If there was no such thing as being in charge of the army, naturally there would be no trouble in the third battalion, and he should not stay here now, but continue to enjoy a life of luxury and luxury in the Hou Mansion.

Chong'an Hou Tan Yu saw the opportunity, suddenly stretched out his hand to grab Wynn's collar, and then fiercely dragged Wynn to the edge of the cell.

"What are you doing?"

"Stop, don't slap me in the face!"

"Help! Help!"

Although these martial arts are not good materials for commanding troops, they are martial arts that have been practiced since childhood. They are naturally more than enough to deal with an old eunuch, even if they accompany him in the cell to punch and kick Wynn.

The matter was not over yet. That night, Wynn found that he was tightly strangled by the rope, but he could not attack the person holding the rope behind him at all. The strength of his hands and feet was getting smaller and smaller...
