Chapter 41: The Decayed Beijing Camp III

"The prince knew it in his mind that it was not just the three camps of the Beijing camp. In fact, the entire army of the dynasty had such problems. The old slave was just a small admiral and eunuch, and he was really powerless." Wang Haoxiang said.

"Yes, Lord Luo himself said that this is a long-standing bad habit of the army. Our Ministry of War also knows that these disadvantages affect combat capabilities and wants to restrict and control it."

"But in order to stabilize the overall situation of the dynasty and avoid military turmoil, it is difficult to make such a decision, especially the military situation in the north, and the Beijing camp may go to war for support at any time, so they dare not take action." Wu Chenglin said.

The three major disadvantages of the Tianming Dynasty army: the empty salary, the deduction of money, grain and the reselling of weapons and materials are not secrets. From top to bottom, from local ministries, guard offices to Beijing camps and then to border troops, similar incidents emerge one after another, forming a huge chain of interests, completely destroying the dynasty's army.

The Beijing camp is at the foot of the emperor. How dare such an army falsely report the number of people and get a salary?

Of course, I dared that the generals of the Tianming Dynasty were a little bolder. According to Zhu Ruisheng's estimate, the entrusted 170,000 units were burned to the public, and if there were 130,000 people, they would burn the incense.

Weapons have passed down from generation to generation, and they are too corrupt to fight. New weapons are either fake accounts and put silver into their personal pockets, or smuggling and selling. This is also the case with leather for leather and pig iron for weapons. This is not only the Ministry of War, but also the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Industry.

The generals withdrew military pay and the food owed to the soldiers were finally left unresolved. Wang Haoxiang, the admiral and eunuch, was probably not clean, and the Imperial Horse Prison must be involved behind it.

"If I don't do anything in my position, I don't care about the affairs of the Beijing camp. That's the issue of the Ministry of War and the Imperial Horse Supervisor. But the ugly saying goes, the officers and soldiers I selected today will transfer their military registration to the Jinyiwei. All the military pay owed in the past must be reimbursed, all the weapons and muskets must be replaced, and the horses must be selected for the best ones. Wang Haoxiang, isn't this difficult to deal with?" Zhu Ruisheng said lightly.

"But..." Wang Haoxiang was about to complain, but was immediately interrupted.

"I'm not going to discuss anything with you. You tell the Ministry of War and the Imperial Horse Supervisor that these things must be settled within three days. I don't care about their bad debts. Otherwise, huh, do you really think you can withstand the investigation of the Jinyiwei?"

"I know this is also a bad habit in the military. Things like this are common in the Tianming Dynasty, but eating too much can easily cause your stomach to become irritated. Spit it out!" Zhu Ruisheng said.

The military drawbacks of the Tianming Dynasty, neither the emperor nor the cabinet, are willing to see it, which is equivalent to violating the most fundamental interests. How can the army lose its combat effectiveness, resist foreign enemies and maintain national rule?

What should the Zhu family do if the country is gone? How can the cabinet exercise power if the country is gone? If the dynasty changes, it will definitely be someone else who is in power.

However, the corruption and degeneration of the army was not caused by the dynasty of Emperor Shenglong. It even went back to previous generations of emperors. Under the insincere behavior of the emperors of the dynasty and the intrigues of civil servants, they became what they are now step by step.

The army is also a huge system. Civil officials protect each other, and the same is true for officers. If one moves the whole body, once the pus is pierced, the consequences will not even be suppressed by the emperor and the cabinet. The country and the stormy country may collapse internally.

Zhu Ruisheng knew the truth that haste would not be understood. He did not have the ability to change anything now. The reason why he wanted to remove the elite personnel from the Beijing camp was to reserve forces to build a strong army.

"Prince, how do we choose people today?" Liu Tong asked.

Zhu Ruisheng immediately stated the organization, and the Grand Commander Guard temporarily had four battalions. The infantry battalion selected 4,000 elite infantrymen from the fifth barracks, including forty hundred households and forty hundred test households, eighty general flags and four hundred small flags.

The cavalry battalion has a cavalry organization of 1,500 people. It is planned to transfer 1,000 cavalry from the cavalry of the fifth army camp and 500 cavalry from the Shenshu camp. It has 15 hundred households and 150 test households, 30 general flags and 150 small flags, and two thousand war horses are needed.

The firearm battalion has a 300 musketeers, equipped with 600 bird guns and 300 three-eyed musketeers, and the artillery is also 300, equipped with ten one-ton general cannons and thirty field tiger squat cannons, including five officials from a hundred households, five people from a hundred households and fifty people from a small flag.

The transportation security battalion has 1,800 staff, including 200 craftsmen responsible for firearms, blacksmiths and weapons maintenance, 300 mule carts and 500 ox carts, ammunition, forage, grain and food supplies, etc. There are 100 households, 20 test households, 20 test households, 40 total banners, and 180 small banners.

The soldiers' swords, guns and muskets, and horses equipped by officers will also be transferred together this time. "Prince, the emperor allows you to select a guard in the Beijing camp, but the total number you selected this time reached 7,900, which does not meet the guard's organization, and it is too much more than it?" Wu Chenglin was shocked.

"It's easy to deal with if you want people, but so many mule carts and ox carts, as well as so many guns and cannons, this will seriously affect the combat preparations of the Beijing camp." Wang Haoxiang was stunned after hearing this.

Is this really the case?

It's true! It's okay to ask for people. The Tianming Dynasty has the most people. However, if you really take away these equipment, the Shenji Camp of Jing Camp will at least be paralyzed to half of its combat effectiveness.

The department can also speed up the manufacturing and earn a income after the sword and gun is removed. However, most of the firearms cannot be used because of the untimely maintenance and replacement. It is really not easy to get so many guns and cannons.

King Song Zhu Ruisheng is not easy to fool. He is now in charge of the Jinyiwei, and has the Shangfang sword given by the imperial guards. Even the governor of the East Factory was almost killed. He really dared to use inferior products as good people, so he couldn't handle the matter next.

"I just need some more transportation supplies. I believe the Ministry of War will understand. You two will ask the eunuch in the Imperial Horse Supervisor and the Minister of War Liang Ge Lao, whether it is OK, I will give me an accurate statement later."

"I am unwilling to interfere in the affairs of the army. If I even refuse this request, it would be too disrespectful to me. The Jinyiwei is also a member of the dynasty army. Speaking of which, this is an internal issue. I hope everyone can discuss it easily." Zhu Ruisheng said lightly.

Wu Chenglin and Wang Haoxiang both heard the threat in their words. If the Imperial Horse Supervision and the War Department did not agree, it would be like a grudge with the Jinyiwei. The situation would needless to say.

In the past, the Jinyiwei would never dare to provoke the Imperial Horse Supervision and the Ministry of War easily, but the current governor is Zhu Ruisheng, and he is not afraid of their pressure at all. Once the two sides start a war, they will definitely be the ones who have the disadvantage.

Why do you say so?

The military system is too huge, and no matter how strict the defense is, it is impossible to avoid loopholes. Don’t forget that the Jinyiwei has a large number of secret spies everywhere. If one point cannot be defended, it will cause big trouble.

"Please select personnel first. We will report to Shangguan now and give you an answer as soon as possible!" Wu Chenglin said with a bow.

"You wait for the prince's orders and help select personnel. Our family is going back to the palace." Wang Haoxiang said to the generals behind him.
