Chapter 223: Northwest

Everything has been concluded, and Zhu Houzhao's trip to the northwest is naturally on the agenda.

Except for the crown princess, basically everyone is happy, or rather looking forward to His Royal Highness the prince's trip.

The scholars and merchants were ready to follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make a fortune, and the officials in the court felt that it was just right to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to the northwest and save a lot of trouble.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao said goodbye to his crown princess, and then set off with people. 10,000 Black Dragon Guards, this is definitely something to carry.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also took Wang Shouren, this is to go to the military reform, Wang Shouren has done a lot of this, and he is basically proficient.

And He Jian is a trilateral general system, and Tang Bohu also accompanied him.

This time, Zhu Houzhao asked Tang Bohu for an official - Guyuan Prefect. This position is also consistent with Tang Bohu, but his promotion speed can be regarded as a rocket.

As for Liao Fan, the former prefect of Guyuan, who Qin Hong recommended to Zhu Houzhao, he also benefited this time and was directly promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, which can be regarded as completing a gorgeous turn in his career.

After the army was launched, countless merchants followed.

Follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince along the way, maybe you will be familiar with each other at some point. It doesn't matter if you don't have a familiar face, you have to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that I am supporting him, that's fine, once His Royal Highness the Crown Prince goes to the northwest, then he will naturally think of his own people.

It's unlikely, but what if there's an opportunity?

Everyone knows that the opportunity is small, but if there is really a chance to get acquainted with the prince, it will be a step to the sky!

Originally, Zhu Houzhao's line was all elite soldiers, but looking at Zhang Heling beside him, Zhu Houzhao was a little helpless. Something strange seems to have been mixed in with our team.

If you want to say that for the desire to get rich, this uncle of the Ming Dynasty is definitely unwilling to be left behind, and this time he made a big determination and directly invited the will to follow.

failed to reap the benefits in Liaodong, and this time Zhang Heling decided to do a big job in the northwest.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to take Zhang Heling with him, but there was a queen sister who was supporting; Moreover, Zhu Houzhao felt that with Zhang Heling, maybe he could use it, at least he was quite suitable.

The cavalry marched very slowly, even inferior to the foot soldiers, because the horses could not stand it, and basically walked for three days and had to rest for a day, and only for a few hours a day, and then they had to rest.

Although he didn't go to fight this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to squeeze the horsepower, so he basically went out thirty miles a day, but fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry, and walked forward.

Although it is slow, as long as you move forward, the road will naturally come to an end.

On this day, the group entered the boundary of Shanxi, outside the city of Guyuan.

For Liao Fan, he is really lucky.

Thinking of Boss Qin Hong, Liao Fan still feels hot until now. After arriving in Guyuan, if it weren't for the fact that this old man treated him like a nephew, constantly taught himself, and recommended himself to His Royal Highness the Prince, where would he be where he is today?

Governor of Shanxi!

Looking at the flattering appearance of his subordinates around him, Liao Fan knew that he would take a different path this time.

"My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here." The official of the prefect's yamen ran over from a distance and said loudly.

Liao Fan is very clear about His Royal Highness the Prince's character, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not like Wenchen to move the army at will, so Liao Fan did not mobilize the scouts of the border army, but just let the officials be spies.

At this time, Liao Fan was even more cautious.

For Liao Fan, this will be a turning point in his career, if he does a good job, then he will be able to step into the center in the future.

As the officer's words fell, cavalry appeared in the distance.

The black-pressed cavalry was very oppressive, and the long knives in their hands were unsheathed.

Although the horse was not fast and did not sprint, even so, it still made the officials of Guyuan secretly swallow their saliva.

This is the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty, the Black Dragon Guard!

With the great victory of the Ming Dynasty against the Tartars in recent years, the prestige of the Black Dragon Army has long spread throughout the border towns, and it can be said that everyone knows about it.

Especially here in Guyuan, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has staged 50,000 breakthroughs here, breaking the Tartars on the grassland, attacking Fengzhou Beach, and beheading the fire sieve.

This pile, piece by piece, is basically going to become a legend.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came, and it had already spread all over Guyuan, and everyone knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was here to bring everyone to make a fortune this time, and the atmosphere in Guyuan reached its peak in an instant.

The cavalry split left and right, followed by the two sides of the battle column.

Then a group of foot soldiers came out, all of whom were wearing leather armor, with sharp eyes, long knives and short knives hanging on their bodies, and crossbows on their backs, and they knew at a glance that they were elites.

These people are Zhu Houzhao's personal guards, they are not only good at fighting immediately, but also good at foot combat, and even street fighting, which Zhu Houzhao trained according to the special forces of later generations.

Hand-to-hand combat, all kinds of weapons, mastery of horsemanship and archery, tactical ideas are all common, except for the absence of firearms, this is a special squad, the number of which is fixed at three hundred.

When they stood in separate columns, Zhu Houzhao's car slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

When the car was parked, Liao Fan hurriedly led his men to kneel and pay homage.

Zhu Houzhao picked up the curtain of the car and glanced at it, and then ordered: "Let them all be exempted!" The army was stationed outside the city, and the main palace entered the city with people. ”

The car drove into the city, and the streets were full of people watching the excitement, and many people came to see the true face of the prince. For them, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a legend!

After entering the city, Zhu Houzhao stayed in the inn that Liao Fan had prepared a long time ago.

Zhu Houzhao met the officials and generals of Guyuan here, of course, that is, a meeting.

After meeting, Zhu Houzhao left Liao Fan.

Looking Liao Fan up and down, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Aiqing seems to have lost a lot!" ”

"Your Highness Xie cares." Liao Fan hurriedly said.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said with a smile: "Although Aiqing has been cleared, this Guyuan City has prospered a lot. Aiqing has made a lot of contributions, and she has done a good job! ”

"The minister just did his duty as a minister." Liao Fan continued to say modestly. If you are proud at this time, it will be over, and Liao Fan is not stupid.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, almost polite, he asked directly: "But someone wants to buy land in Guyuan?" ”

Although there is land in Guyuan, most of it is wasteland, and although it can be reclaimed, the effect will not be very good.

The good fields near the river have long been reclaimed, part of them are the landlords' land, part of the public land, and the rest are the tun fields of the army.

In such a situation, buying land is naturally an ulterior motive. As in later generations, if any place is developed on a large scale, then the land price of this place will definitely rise.

"Back to Your Highness, there is." Liao Fan hurriedly bowed down and said, "Not only that, but there are a lot of them." ”
