Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Liu Xian immediately became excited. He quickly knelt on the ground and said, "This subject will definitely not let Your Majesty down!"
"Why don't you write a report first!"
Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Xian and nodded his head. After all, this was a big matter, and a comprehensive plan was needed. They couldn't act rashly on both sides.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Liu Xian answered, turned around, and walked out.
Zhu Yijun looked at Liu Xian's back and sighed with a headache. It sounded easy, but it wasn't that easy to do.
The key was that the capital could not fall into chaos. Zhu Yijun quickly thought of a way, and that was to test it out.
The Capital Camp, also known as the Three Camps, was established a long time ago, dating back to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty.
At its peak, during the Yongle period, the Yongle Emperor led the three battalions on an expedition to the north, beating the Mongols until they did not dare to attack the south.
However, after the incident at Tumu Castle, the three battalions were completely destroyed. The only ones left were the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. There was no way for them to fight.
Until the Zhengde Emperor, the Emperor of the Daming Dynasty who loved martial arts the most.
At the beginning of Zhengde, the Twelfth Battalion only selected 60,500 elite soldiers, thereupon several tens of thousands of border soldiers were transferred to defend the capital, and these soldiers were named the 'Four Outer Families'.
He also set up two official halls, east and west. The eastern hall was used to train the officers selected by the beginning of Zhengde, the western hall was used to train the regimental battalions, warriors, and the Fourth Guards.
In reality, the purge of the Three Great Battalions was very thorough, and with the addition of the border army elites as the new army, their fighting strength was considerable.
This was also the reason why Zheng De Emperor was able to peacefully resolve the rebellion of King Wang and King Ning, defeat the Mongolian prince, and defeat the Tatar army in Ying Prefecture.
However, Zheng De was young and his father passed away early, so it was inevitable that he was a little slippery in doing things.
In the future, he was just playing around. Although he was playing around, he also had the merit of resisting the border bandits. He was never negligent in important matters.
The capital barracks established by the Zhengde Emperor were definitely very powerful at that time. However, under the management of the Jiajing Dynasty, the three barracks were completely destroyed.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, the Regimental Barracks and the Two Governmental Offices were abolished, restoring the old system of the Three Great Barracks during the Yongle era.
The difference was that the Three Thousand Camp was renamed the Divine Pivot Camp, the three camps were in charge of sentries and all the internal officials were removed, and a general was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the military affairs of the capital camp.
He was assisted by one of the civil officials, known as the Assistant Military Affairs of the capital.
With the involvement of the civil officials, the Three Great Battalions were completely defeated. However, in Zhu Yijun's opinion, the biggest problem for the Three Great Battalions was the source of soldiers.
If they did not change the household registration system of the soldiers, there was basically no hope. The matter of the father dying and the son inheriting was absolutely unacceptable.
Only conscription was the way to go. Moreover, after a certain number of years in the army, one would have to return home, just like the conscription in the future.
What Zhu Yijun was considering now was that he had to reorganize more than a hundred thousand people all of a sudden. It was easy for things to go wrong!
The capital camp was located in the capital. If someone deliberately fanned the flames, it would really be easy for something to happen.
If something really happened to the capital camp, even if nothing happened, his prestige as the Emperor would be greatly reduced.
Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing beside him and directly asked, "Did Liu Xian bring his family to the capital this time?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, no!" Zhang Jing quickly said, "But he brought his son, Liu Wei, to the capital."
Zhu Yijun nodded. This was not surprising. It was not easy to live in the capital. With Liu Xian's salary and qualifications, he really could not afford to bring his family to live in the capital!
"Prepare a house and let Liu Xian bring his family to the capital."
Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and directly ordered, "Let Imperial Physician Li take care of Liu Xian's body. Don't let him collapse before anything is done."
"Old Slave will get someone to do it now!" Zhang Jing nodded and quickly said.
Zhu Yijun was actually a little worried about Liu Xian's family. It was not about other people, but he was afraid that someone would use Liu Xian's family to cause trouble!
"Tomorrow, the Governor of the Governor's Office will have an audience with the Emperor!" Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and finally decided to meet these people.
The Governor of the Wu Army did not have much say in recruiting soldiers like the border army or the Qi Family army. However, in a place like the capital camp, they could be said to be deeply rooted.
The Camp Commander of each camp was a Marquis. To put it bluntly, they were Honours.
If he really wanted to change the three camps, some of these people would have to move their homes.
Thinking of moving these people at once, Zhu Yijun's head grew bigger. No, he absolutely could not do this.
Zhu Yijun was going to talk to the Governor of the Five Armies Office first. In fact, these Governor were actually Daming's top Honours.
If Duke Ding, Duke Cheng, and so on could get their support, then things would be much easier.
In fact, Zhu Yijun felt that it was not difficult to get their support. These people were almost useless these years. However, this way, the Honours would completely become decorations. This would not work. If this problem was not solved, there would be trouble.
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think of his own school. It seemed that it was time to pull these people out for a walk.
Speaking of his own school, Zhu Yijun originally planned to build it into a school for the nobles, but in the end, it went bankrupt.
If it were not for Zhu Yijun asking Zhang Cheng to keep an eye on it, it would probably be a failure by now.
However, Zhu Yijun felt that in the future, it would not be too difficult to expand the school into a military school or a martial arts hall.
These years, the school had been training non-stop. The first batch of students, like the grandson of Duke Cheng, had stayed there for almost five years.
In these two years, Zhu Yijun often went there. The school's martial arts had never stopped. Many civil officials had already written to impeach the Emperor for playing tricks with martial arts, but they were all suppressed by Zhang Juzheng.
This matter was supported by Queen Dowager Li. She was very supportive of her son's martial arts training, so the school did not fail.
It was not easy to deal with the older generation, but it was easy to deal with the younger generation. For the younger generation, it was not impossible for the older generation to sacrifice, right?
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun smiled. To find the right direction to attack, he could not face it head-on!
The army knew how to use tactics in war. If he faced it head-on, he would be too stupid.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun felt that he should go to the school to take a look.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun directly ordered Zhang Jing, "Send an edict to the school, tomorrow is the Imperial Martial Arts Drill!" Since he was going to do it, he might as well make it bigger, "Call all those with the rank of Marquis."
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Jing nodded and said, "This subject obeys the edict!"
At dusk, Liu Xian's residence.
Just as the eunuch who passed the edict left, Liu Wei looked at his father with some doubt, "Father, it is understandable that His Majesty gave us a house, but what is the meaning of bringing our families here?
Could it be that he is using our families as hostages? "
Countless stories that he had heard flashed in Liu Wei's mind. The Emperor used the families of his subjects as hostages. Could it be that this time, it was going to fall on his family?
