Red Book says: Power comes from the barrel of a gun.

This statement really tells the true meaning of all the power struggles in the world in one sentence. As a time traveler, Zhu Youjian naturally has a very deep understanding of this.

Looking at all feudal dynasties in ancient China, the emperor who held military power always made great achievements and gained fame in history, such as Qin Emperor, Han, Tang, Song, and Taizu and Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty.

However, since the two powerful emperors of Taizu and Chengzu, the military power has been lost. Almost all the Ming emperors of all dynasties have become young wives who are angry. Occasionally, if you do something extraordinary, you will be swearing by the civil officials. You can be called the most depressed emperor in all dynasties.

Why were the emperors of the Ming Dynasty always been named strange in history?

In fact, this is not that the Ming Dynasty emperor was born a strange thing, but that the Ming Dynasty's power was lost and the civil officials undermined the Ming Dynasty's emperor, resulting in the Ming Dynasty's emperor doing nothing and could only find other things to make time by themselves.

However, after the strong exaggeration of the civil officials, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty became a strange name, so that the Emperor of Immortal Cultivation, the Emperor of Otaku Wanli, and the Emperor of Carpenter Tianqi became the representatives of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

The reason why the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lost his imperial power was undoubtedly because the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty lost control of military power, so he was afraid of being afraid to turn against civil officials.

When did the Emperor of Ming Dynasty lose control of military power?

The answer was about to emerge, which was caused by the Tumu Fort Incident. Due to the defeat of Tumu Fort, the military officer group that competed with the civil servant group and even vaguely suppressed the civil servant group. The military officer group was almost killed or injured in the Tumu Fort Incident, and the military officer group was in a slump.

The military officer group failed, and the civil servant group broke the balance in the court and controlled the government affairs, and the emperor also lost direct control of the army.

Originally, the Governor's Office of the Five Army of the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful and was enough to compete with the six parts. However, after some erratic operations by civil officials, the Governor's Office of the Five Army was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, which was ranked at the end of the Six Ministry, and became an ordinary yamen under the Ministry of War.

This led to a large number of civil servants who spoke of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but in fact, there were not many military talents in charge of military power, which led to a sharp decline in the status of military men, the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army declined rapidly, and the Ming Dynasty declined from prosperity to decline.

To reverse the decline of the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen had to regain the military power of the Ming Dynasty and become the third strong emperor after Taizu and Chengzu, and had the power to kill civil officials and military officials.

The Beijing camp carried out two rebellions in succession. Although they were pacified by Chongzhen at the first time, they also reminded Chongzhen that it was urgent to gain military power, so as not to seize the opportunity of the enemy again and catch Chongzhen off guard.

The day after the court meeting, Chongzhen inspected Beidaying accompanied by Fan Jingwen, Li Banghua, Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji.

...

According to Chongzhen's latest plan, Beidaying has now become the garrison of the newly established Wuweiying, Long Xiaoying and Hubing.

Surrounded by hundreds of cavalry of the Yonggu Camp, Zhu Youjian was wearing military uniform and riding a white horse, galloping towards Beidaying in a mighty manner.

Zhu Youjian was determined to become the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty after Taizu and Chengzu. He had been preparing for the invasion of Jiannu who was most likely born in the second year of Chongzhen. Therefore, in the palace, Zhu Youjian learned riding skills early, and now he finally made great use.

The Beidaying barracks are about ten miles away from the capital city Deshengmen. The barracks are actively wide and are as big as thirty acres of land. Not to mention the 39,000 soldiers and horses of the three camps, even 100,000 soldiers and horses can accommodate them.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..."

After Chongzhen entered Beidaying, the generals responsible for Beidaying's defense quickly beat the gathering drum. After hearing the drum sound, countless officers and soldiers gathered in the large campus from all directions.

Obviously, the three soldiers who had just reorganized were not very morale, and the gathering rate was very slow, which was very different from the scene where the soldiers wore clothes and ran towards the schoolyard while wearing clothes.

After two incense sticks, the soldiers of the three camps slowly gathered on the campus. Many soldiers may have just spent the Spring Festival holiday and their syndrome after the New Year was particularly obvious, and everyone looked listless.

However, when there are tens of thousands of people, not to mention that nearly 40,000 people gather together, they look very handsome and majestic at first glance.

On the field of the colonel, the Wuwei Camp gathered on the left hand side was the Wuwei Camp reorganized from the left-behind left-guard and the Wude Guard; the middle was the Long Xiao Camp reorganized from the right-guard of the cavalry and the Dragon and Tiger Guard; the last one on the right hand was the Hubei Camp reorganized from the right-guard of the left-behind right-guard and the Hubei Guard.

Sun Yingyuan, Huang Degong, and Zhou Yuji, as the main general, stood at the forefront of the soldiers of the three camps, straightened his back, looked solemn, waiting for Chongzhen's inspection.

On the high platform of the university field, Zhu Youjian stood in the center with a solemn expression. Few soldiers in the audience had seen Zhu Youjian. Looking at Zhu Youjian who was facing a young face and had no beard on his face, he thought it was the military supervisor photographed by the inner court, and did not take Zhu Youjian seriously. He talked and laughed unscrupulously on the university field, and the military discipline was almost gone.

Zhu Youjian frowned and was very disappointed with the quality of the soldiers in the Beijing camp. However, he was mentally prepared before coming, so he did not get up on the spot.

Seeing Zhu Youjian's face unwillingness, Fan Jingwen said: "Emperor, the three camps have just been reorganized and the soldiers have not yet undergone training, so they act like a sloppy person. The empress can assure Your Majesty that after three months of training, the three camps will be admired by the emperor."

Zhu Youjian nodded expressionlessly and said, "I know that the capital camp has been in a long time, and it will never happen overnight. Fan Qing's family, please call the general first!"

Fan Jingwen bowed to Chongzhen and said, "I obey the order!"

After saying that, Fan Jingwen took the famous flower book from his staff and took a step forward, and his pair of evil eyes swept across the generals below.

Fan Jingwen supervised the Four Guards and Battalions for nearly half a year, and his body was already covered with the evil spirits of the army. Therefore, although the generals did not recognize who Fan Jingwen was, when they came into contact with Fan Jingwen's gaze, they felt like they were staring at by a tiger, and their hearts suddenly became tight.

Fan Jingwen shouted at the bronze trumpet, "Ma Dezhong, commander of the left guard of the Wuwei Camp, left-behind Guard!"

The audience was quiet, and no one responded in an instant. Fan Jingwen narrowed his eyes when he saw this, and his murderous intent surged. He shouted sternly: "Where is Ma Dezhong?"

Ma Dezhong is also a warrior. With his intuition as a warrior, he finally felt Fan Jingwen's monstrous evil aura. He couldn't help but put away his sloppy expression. Subconsciously, he calmed down and said with a solemn expression: "The lower-ranking official Ma Dezhong is here!"

Fortunately, after hearing Ma Dezhong's response, Fan Jingwen only looked at him, and did not pursue it. He continued to name: "Wei Dayong, commander of Wude Wei!"
