Just kidding, the Qingliu group of the civil servant group and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang forces would never agree to the King of Song to choose a fief in Nanzhili or Zhejiang Province. This is the base camp of civil servants!

The King of Chu's concerns were one of the reasons, and more importantly, his own interests and needs.

In fact, 60% of the senior officials in the imperial cabinet and six ministries, including the Hanlin Academy, all came from these two places.

The vassal kings must occupy a city when they are vassals, and the farmlands are as many as thousands of hectares, which requires forcibly scattered from the local gentry and the common people. Moreover, the salary of the vassal kings is also borne by the local government, which will bring great burden to their hometown. If they are not stopped, their reputation in their hometown will become bad. How can they face those gentry in their hometown when they beg for bones to return home in the future?

It is precisely because of these two obstacles that Sun Dongqing was not worried about the title of King Song to Jiangnan, and it is possible to enthrone in Fujian or Guangdong Province.

What he was worried about was that the emperor's sudden style of behavior became unfathomable and could not understand specific ideas at all. This was a very dangerous signal for the cabinet chief, which meant that the emperor no longer trusted himself.

The chief minister of the cabinet is the head of all officials. He often plays with the emperor for the interests of the civil servant group, but it does not mean that he ignores the emperor's wishes. The emperor can take this seat away.

"Oh, no one can guess what the father is thinking now. It is said that he values ​​the sixth son the most, but every time he decides to become a crown prince, it is a tentative action. As soon as the civil and military officials strongly object, they will no longer mention this matter. When everyone is about to forget the matter, they start to test again, but there is no substantial action." Zhu Ruiyuan said with a frown.

Emperor Shenglong's body is getting weaker, which is not a secret for the senior executives of the civil servant group of the Tianming Dynasty. Logically speaking, in this case, he should make a decision as soon as possible and use the rest of his life to help the prince stabilize the situation.

However, Emperor Shenglong did not forcibly push Zhu Ruiqian to the throne, and always tried again and again, nor did he let Zhu Ruiyuan take over, which led to the position of the prince being unresolved, which completely disrupted the situation.

The garrison of the Five Military Camps of the Imperial Dynasty.

The head of the Jingying Admiral Wang Haoxiang and the Right Minister of War, assisting the Jingying Rongzheng Wu Chenglin, was followed by a large group of generals, deputy generals, generals, guerrilla generals and other generals.

The Jinyiwei wants to select officers and soldiers from the Beijing camp. This is a big deal. Qualified officials and generals must of course be present to show their solemnity. There is still a chance to get familiar with the Jinyiwei Governor.

Zhu Ruisheng led a few brothers, as well as Luo Ming and Luo Yi, standing on the stage of the main campus. Looking at the officers and soldiers gathering in line below, they all felt a little unbelievable.

After coming out of the palace and returning to the palace, he immediately brought people over, accompanied by the palace guards, clerks and military doctors of the Jinyiwei.

But seeing the team below shows an extremely sharp contrast. Most of the officers have bright armors, while most of the soldiers are dressed in rags and have a dish-like face. They all look weak and have no energy at all. The swords, guns, swords, and halberds are rusty, and most of them are incomplete.

What is most shocking is that the horses of the cavalry unit seem to be unable to carry even people. They swayed when walking, and could see the thin bones clearly.

"Eunuch Wang, this is not the fifth military camp known as the elite of the Tianming Dynasty. It is simply a group of old, weak, sick and disabled. It is difficult to defend the capital with such an army, let alone defending the strong enemy outside, even defending the city!" Jiao Jun said, looking at the admiral and eunuch Wang Haoxiang.

"Eunuch Wang, Mr. Wu, don't be angry, you two are in such a state in front of the Jingying Camp. With such physical fitness, I guess I will be exhausted if I can't run a few steps. Do you don't usually give me food?" Chen Liangji asked.

The Tianming Dynasty established Jingying in the two capitals, divided into Jingying and Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jingying in the Jing

The Beijing camp reached its peak during the reign of Emperor Chengzu, with more than 70 guards and more than 300,000 guards. To this day, there are only more than 30 guards and 170,000 guards. It can be said that it is the elite among the elite and the core defensive force of the capital of the Tianming Dynasty.

The actual controller of the Jingying was the Minister of War, who had special guards and was assisted by a minister of the Ministry of War. He did not give guards and sent eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Supervisor to serve as admiral.

Zhu Ruisheng wanted to select the Jinyiwei, so he naturally wanted to come to the best fifth army camp. However, the actual situation in front of everyone was shocked. Even the core combat power of the fifth army camp was so deteriorated. Wouldn't the other local troops in the Tianming Dynasty be even more miserable?

"Prince, I also know that the situation in the fifth military camp has disappointed the expectations of the Emperor Long Live, but what can I do? Our dynasty's money and food are becoming increasingly scarce, and it is common to owe wages, which is also a practical difficulty!"

"The army of the Tianming Dynasty can also provide normal military pay in addition to the border troops. The delay time is no more than three months. The military pay in our five military camps has been intermittent for two consecutive years. In this case, there is no strength to train troops!" Wang Haoxiang said with a wry smile.

"Report to the prince, the Ministry of War must first supply food and salary to the border army. As for the Beijing camp, it allocates 30% or 40% every month. This is already doing its best. The Ministry of War also needs to rely on the taxes of the Ministry of Revenue."

"The officers and soldiers are not full of food, and the supply of fodder is insufficient. The horses are so hungry that they have no strength. In this case, it would be strange if the current situation is not right!" Wu Chenglin also said.

The current situation of the Beijing Camp is really hard to explain. If the Ministry of War does not want to take responsibility, it will be pushed to the head of the household department. It is a fact that the Tianming Dynasty has no money.

Since Zhu Ruisheng is coming to select elite officers and soldiers, it is impossible to hide the matter. The more it is concealed, the more likely it is to arouse suspicion from the other party. It is better to just make it clear. It is estimated that King Song will not be able to break up. If you want to rectify the army, the emperor and the cabinet are full of concerns.

"Eunuch Wang, Mr. Wu, the problem of food and salary does exist. It is an old problem that the Ministry of Revenue is not in time. But the food and salary in Beijing are not as evil as you two say, right? Why don't you talk about the long-standing bad habits of the army?" Luo Ming said.

He is now a devoted and devoted King Song faction, so he naturally has to show his loyalty. He knows very well about the military matters, and the Jinyiwei is also part of the army.

The military pay of the Tianming Dynasty was given priority to supply the border troops of the nine towns, which were the nine important military cities on the periphery, especially the northern army that was in a confrontation with the Jin Kingdom.

Secondly, as the core force in defending the capital, the Beijing Camp is also the most important mobile force, so it is naturally necessary to take care of it, and then it is the turn of local garrisons in various places.

Therefore, the food and salary in Jingying is not so short. Although there are arrears, it is not that long. There are other reasons in it, and the reasons cannot be mentioned openly.
