The infantry commander's yamen was the newly formed army responsible for the defense and public security of the capital city. In the Ming Dynasty, the three major battalions formed by Zhu Di were responsible for the three major battalions, namely the Five Military Camp, the Three Thousand Battalions, and the Shenji Camp. However, since the Yingzong Tumu Fort Incident, all three major battalions have been completely damaged outside the pass. Yu Qian, who was in charge of the guarding troops in the capital at that time, formed a new guarding troops in order to deal with the Yesian troops who were fighting at home, was called the 12th Regiment Battalion.

The 12th Regiment Battalion was pretty good at the beginning of its establishment. It repelled Yesian's attack and kept the safety of Beijing. However, the 12th Regiment Battalion was corrupt during the Jiajing period. Emperor Jiajing formed the Warriors Battalion and the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion in the inner palace to be responsible for the defense of the palace city. As for the outside of the palace city, the defense was handed over to the three major camps reorganized by the 12th Regiment Battalion.

The security in Beijing was previously managed by the Jinyiwei, Dongchang and Shuntian Prefecture yamen. The Jinyiwei set up offices in various neighborhoods to be responsible for public security, patrols, etc. Shuntian Prefecture was mainly responsible for the work of anti-theft, fire prevention, and tax collection in the city gate. After Zhu Hongsan entered Beijing, he found that the entire capital city had many branches of defense and public security policies, the Imperial Horse Supervisor was under the supervision of eunuchs, and the three camps were under the management of honors, and the public security was managed by the Jinyiwei and Shuntian Prefecture. This way, there were many more things at the yamen.

Therefore, Zhu Hongsan made drastic reforms to the defense of the capital, removing the security functions of the factory guards. The factory guards belong to the state dictatorial organs, and they can only be robbed by them when they are used to manage public security. The public security is managed by Shuntian Prefecture, and the Shuntian Prefecture patrol team was established, which was responsible for the whole city's night patrol, firefighting, firing, checking baojia, ban, arrest, and severing prisons.

At the same time, the infantry commander's yamen was formed to be responsible for the guards and access controls outside the imperial city. That is, the defense outside the imperial city was managed by the infantry commander's yamen. Because there are nine city gates in the inner city of Beijing, namely Zhengyang Gate, Chongwen Gate, Xuanwu Gate, Anding Gate, Desheng Gate, Dongzhi Gate, Xizhi Gate, Chaoyang Gate, and Fucheng Gate, so the infantry commander's yamen was called the Nine Gate Admiral by the people in the capital.

The commander of the infantry commander's yamen was the second-rank, and the commander of the new army and the general of the old army. Ma Rufeng was the commander of the new army back then, and it was a simultaneous transfer here.

Ma Rufeng was not the earliest general to follow Zhu Hongsan, but Ma Rufeng fought with Ma Kun in Huguang for many years, and Ma Rufeng was Ma Kun's deputy. Now Ma Kun is the ninth duke and general of the founding country. Some of the battalions commanders of the regiments under Ma Rufeng were already division commanders, and their titles were also marquis and counts. Only Ma Rufeng was one or the second-rank, and there was nothing.

This is not because Ma Rufeng made any mistake, but because the emperor wanted to suppress the Qin King. Of course, it is impossible for Ma Rufeng to have no resentment. He is much more unjust than Jiang Pengju, who was named Earl. After all, Ma Rufeng has never made any mistakes in so many years. However, Jiang Pengju can make trouble, but Ma Rufeng dare not go to the emperor to make trouble. It is very simple. Your Ma Rufeng already has two titles in your family, Ma Mingyuan's Duke and Ma Shaoguang's Earl. Ma Rufeng, who has no choice but to be a concubine, has to line up back.

Now that the wars across the country are over, there are not so many things in the defense in the capital, so today Ma Rufeng is sitting idle in the yamen, and as for his deputy Jiang Pengju, he absent from work for no reason and did not come at all today.

Ma Rufeng received a report from the guards at the door in the lobby that the King of Qin was coming. Ma Rufeng was stunned when he heard this. The King of Qin used to be cautious, for fear of being caught, so why did he come to find him with great fanfare today?

Although Ma Rufeng was the uncle of the King of Qin, the court rules were here, and you were not from a Jinshi, so Ma Rufeng quickly walked out of the lobby to welcome the King of Qin.

Before Ma Rufeng reached the door, he saw the tall Zhu Jiang who had already walked in. Zhu Jiang was in a good mood today. He smiled while walking: "Uncle, this is the first time I have come to you. The Admiral of the Nine Gate is indeed so grand!"

Although Ma Rufeng is Zhu Jiang's uncle, he must abide by the court's etiquette. Seeing his nephew coming, Ma Rufeng quickly knelt down on one knee and said, "I will pay homage to His Highness, the King of Qin!"

Zhu Jiang knelt down before Ma Rufeng could quickly come forward and support him and said, "Uncle, you are my prince's uncle, not an outsider, why are you doing these things?"

The infantry commander's yamen is full of people and has various forces. Ma Rufeng is afraid that he will be sued by others for disrespect for etiquette and law.

"Your Highness, please follow the laws of the court!"

Zhu Jiang knew what Ma Rufeng was afraid of, so he looked around and cursed: "There is that blind bastard who dares to make a report. Don't blame me for being ruthless. I will burn your house tonight!"

All officers in the yamen knew that the emperor favored the King of Qin very much, and that the King of Qin had killed people. He heard that more than 100,000 Edo residents were the master in Japan. It would be better not to offend such cruel people! So the officers in the lobby laughed and said, "That's right, we are all soldiers under the command of the masters, so how can we do such dirty things?"

Zhu Jiang glared at the surroundings, then took out Zhu Hongsan's imperial edict from his arms. The officer in the lobby saw the imperial edict and quickly knelt down. Zhu Jiang opened the imperial edict and said loudly: "I ordered the second son of the emperor Zhu Jiang to serve as the minister of the commander's guards and to assist in the defense of the nine gates! I'm so proud!"

After the imperial edict, Zhu Jiang became the superior leader of the infantry commander's yamen. The officers in the lobby quickly stood up and flattered him.

When Ma Rufeng saw that Zhu Jiang had become a assistant manager, he quickly stood up and said, "Come here, go and notify the deputy commander, left and right general, nine gate deputy general, and the twelve generals came to pay homage to the new minister of the commander's guard!"

The infantry commander's yamen is in charge of the defense of the inner city and outer city of Beijing, with a total of 56,000 troops. Under the infantry commander, there is one deputy commander, one left and right wing general each works in the same room as the infantry commander, the deputy general of the Nine Gate is responsible for the defense of the inner city and the twelve generals are responsible for the defense of the outer city, and these people are all commanded by Ma Rufeng, who are the first major forces in the capital. Of course, the combat effectiveness is not good. Although the imperial guards in the imperial city only have 30,000, they are all elite soldiers in the new army, and they can completely defeat the infantry commander's yamen.

Ma Rufeng asked his subordinates to prepare for the new leadership ceremony and pulled Zhu Jiang into his own lounge in the back hall. Today, this fact was beyond Ma Rufeng's expectations, so he wanted to ask for details.

"Your Highness, what happened today? Why didn't I receive the written statement from the Military Affairs Office?"

When Zhu Jiang saw Ma Rufeng so nervous, he not only laughed in his heart that his uncle was too careful.

"Uncle, don't worry, today's imperial edict was delivered by Lee Chengen in the palace. I came to you as soon as I received it. Perhaps the military bureau's writing has not arrived yet."

Ma Rufeng also recognized Li Chengen and knew that he was the favored eunuch around the emperor, so he should not be able to use some fake means of passing on imperial edicts.

Ma Rufeng felt relieved when he heard Zhu Jiang say this, but then the question emerged again. The emperor did not allow any prince to interfere in specific matters before. How could Zhu Jiang assist in the infantry yamen today? This was really unexpected.

"Your Highness, why did Your Majesty the Emperor give you this job without warning?" Now there was no outsider in the room, Ma Rufeng quickly asked out the questions in his heart.

"Uncle, I don't know why. I was drinking in the mansion, and Li Chengen came over and said there was an imperial edict given to me by his father. After that, I asked Li Chengen why this was? But Li Chengen, an old dog, was very strict and didn't say anything. He just said that his father asked the prince to go back to read the original story of the Emperor Shizu of the Sui Dynasty. Uncle, you know that I don't study, but I don't know what this means, so come and ask my uncle!"

Ma Rufeng is better than Zhu Jiang. No matter how you say that his father was also a Jinshi, Ma Rufeng's knowledge was limited to understanding what the original chapter of the Sui Dynasty was. If you can't understand something too profound, you can't understand it.

Ma Rufeng pondered for a moment and said, "The original story of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty is about Emperor Yang of Sui. Why did the emperor ask the prince to read this book?"

When Zhu Jiang heard that it was Yang Guang, he asked happily: "Does the father hate the prince and said that if he became the emperor, Yang Guang would be alive?"

Ma Rufeng thought for a long time but couldn't find out the reason. At this time, several deputy generals and deputy generals in the city had arrived. Ma Rufeng had no choice but to say, "Your Highness, let's hold the ceremony first, and then discuss what's going on!"

Zhu Jiang had no choice but to follow Ma Rufeng to accept the welcome from the generals. Seeing Zhu Jiang coming to assist in the defense of the Nine Gate, Coke ruined the deputy commander Jiang Pengju.

Jiang Pengju took leave today and rested at home. His personal soldiers came to inform the commander to gather together and said that he would welcome His Highness the King of Qin.

Jiang Pengju was stunned at first. Ma Rufeng had always been cautious and was afraid of falling off the leaves. Why did he welcome the King of Qin so vigorously today? Jiang Pengju wanted to ask what happened to the personal soldiers who sent the order, but the level of the personal soldiers was too low and he was just here to send the orders. He didn't know anything else. Jiang Pengju had no choice but to put on his official uniform and went to the infantry yamen. Zhu Hongsan was very strict in governing the army. Although the soldiers in the infantry commander's yamen were not as elite as the new army, the gathering of generals was also the ending of beheading for no reason.

When Jiang Pengju came to the yamen, he learned that the emperor had sent an imperial edict to ask Zhu Jiang to assist in the defense of the Nine Gate. Jiang Pengju was overjoyed when he learned this news. What is his relationship with Zhu Jiang? He is really a teacher and a friend. Now, good days have come after Zhu Jiang becomes his superior.

The ceremony was very simple. Zhu Jiang stood in the lobby and read out the emperor's imperial edict loudly. Next, all the generals received the edict and thanked him under the leadership of Ma Rufeng and Jiang Pengju. Then Ma Rufeng went to the hall, and the generals stood in the lobby waiting for the chief officer to announce the order.

The imperial edict asked Zhu Jiang to assist in the nine gates, not in charge of the nine gates, so Ma Rufeng had the final say in the infantry yamen, even if Zhu Jiang was the prince, it would not work, and all military orders were the first in the army.

Ma Rufeng looked at his subordinates and said, "Today, the King of Qin came to assist in the defense of the Nine Gates. The commander of Qin, Zhu Jiang, was appointed as the inner city, and the deputy commander Jiang Pengju, was in charge of the outer city. Others were responsible for their duties!"

Jiang Pengju was very happy to hear Ma Rufeng say this. In the past, he was in charge of the inner city. Although the inner city was many times more prosperous than the outer city, there were many nobles in the inner city. Jiang Pengju could not control the Count. Now, Zhu Jiang is the prince. He is in charge of the nobles in the inner city. Let's see who dares to act rashly? As for the outer city where Jiang Pengju went, it was a processing center in Beijing. Many workshops, shops, and grain fields were in the outer city. The oil and water were very big, so Jiang Pengju was very happy when he heard Ma Rufeng's division of labor.
