Chapter Eighty-Four: Wang Shouren's Way of Being an Official

This kind of thing is indispensable, in fact, if it weren't for the military border towns involved, and there were too many officers involved, Zhu Houzhao wouldn't have bothered to do this at all, and he would have gone straight to the knife. Directly catch corruption, kill people, and raid homes, isn't he fragrant? Not only does it increase prestige, but it also gets more money, so why not?

But not now, once he sets off a big case in Liaodong, it will be a situation where everyone is in danger, and even generals everywhere will be in danger, and this mistake cannot be made.

"With this silver, plus the income from the seizure, the upfront investment should be enough." Zhu Houzhao is not an insatiable person, when the matter comes to this point, it is basically over, and the rest should be put into new things. For example, the construction of the Liaodong Arsenal, the creation of the military system of Liaodong, and the punishment of these officers are not in the plan of this trip.

Because of Liu Jin's assurance, and Zhu Houzhao's side really had no intention of punishing anyone, the generals of Liaodong also cooperated, and things went very fast.

First, the soldiers of Quang Ninh Wei assembled and paraded, then carried out an inventory, eliminated the old, weak, sick and disabled, and reorganized the army. In this process, Zhu Houzhao also dealt with some generals, but basically they were demoted and punished, and they did not directly kill people or go home, so the opposition was much smaller.

It took half a month, Zhu Houzhao finally finished Guangningwei, and at this time, Zhu Houzhao and the others finally came, that is, his 10,000 Black Dragon Guard.

After the 10,000 Black Dragon Guards arrived in Liaodong, the situation in the entire Liaodong was different again, and everyone realized one thing, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not joking, this was really going to war, and it was really going to fight Uharyan. The generals of Liaodong didn't know what it was like in their hearts, they were afraid of defeat, and at the same time they were attracted by their military exploits.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won many battles, and winning battles means capture, representing countless military exploits, which is really attractive to generals.

There are still places in Liaodong that make Zhu Houzhao satisfied, such as the quality of military generals, these people can still fight, although the quality is uneven, but when they go on horseback to fight, these basic qualities are still there. After all, this is the border, and it is also a real war, and the unqualified estimates have long been eliminated, or simply died in battle.

What Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that Wang Shouren actually came, this guy didn't return to Beijing, but followed the Black Dragon Guard all the way to Liaodong.

If the Black Dragon Guard wants to come to Liaodong, he will naturally not rush over from the Great Wall, but will run all the way from the grassland outside the Great Wall.

Since Wang Shouren is here, Zhu Houzhao naturally wants to see him, and when he saw Wang Shouren who walked in, Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to give Wang Shouren a little face, but when he saw Wang Shouren's appearance, Zhu Houzhao softened. Although Wang Shouren was also engaged in martial arts before, he still looked like a well-mannered and delicate scholar.

But at this time, Wang Shouren's face was red, and some places were blown by the wind, and the whole person looked a lot rougher, obviously suffering on the grassland.

"Let you go back to Beijing, why bother to come to Liaodong to suffer." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to interrupt Wang Shouren's salute, and said with some disgust, but it was mostly distressed, and there were much fewer blames.

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Liaodong in person, this is a big thing to do, how can the minister return to Beijing, besides, if the minister returns to Beijing, others will think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince stayed in the capital to control the Beijing camp, which is not good." The minister thought that if he came to Liaodong, he could help His Highness a little bit, right? The minister is still young, thinking about doing more for the Ming Dynasty and the prince. ”

Although Wang Shouren said so, Zhu Houzhao also knew that Wang Shouren was looking for punishment, and of course, he really wanted to help himself.

The first is to find punishment, Wang Shouren's limelight is too strong, the previous surprise attack on Fengzhou Beach was better, it was his own command, but this time he defeated Dayan Khan in Northern Xinjiang, this is a great merit, Wang Shouren is directly the first military merit of the dynasty, this must be a heavy reward, otherwise it will seem that the court treats the heroes harshly, and it also seems that His Majesty is mean and unkind.

But Wang Shouren is not very old, and he is the prince's person, after all, there are still obstacles, and the young man is in a high position, so how will he go in the future?

Besides, there is still his father in the court, that is a figure who is about to enter the cabinet, if he also gets up, or how to deal with the staff, how will his father deal with himself? This has to be avoided, but Dad is in the prime of life, and his ambitions have not been realized, so he can't go home due to illness, right? So Wang Shouren was ready to hand over a little handle and cut a little credit.

So Wang Shouren came directly to Liaodong, firstly, because he looked young, unstable, and not useful.

Second, he also made a mistake, since he made a mistake, then he naturally has to be punished, which can offset part of the credit of Beijiang this time. There are not a few people who do this in history, such as Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, who played the best trick, and Xu Da, the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, King of Zhongshan, is also a master of this way.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren, smiled bitterly and shook his head, this kind of thing is a tacit understanding between a monarch and a minister, Zhu Houzhao naturally will not break it.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say a little helplessly: "Since this is the case, then you can stay!" ”

Does Zhu Houzhao want Wang Shouren to come over? Of course, I want to, because Wang Shouren is his most capable subordinate, in addition to the training of the Black Dragon Army and the elimination of the Beijing camp over the years, this is all done by Wang Shouren, if such a talent goes to Liaodong, he doesn't have to worry about the formation and training of the new army, how could Zhu Houzhao not like Wang Shouren arrived?

"Your Highness!" Wang Shouren hurriedly bowed and saluted, looking very satisfied.

Looking at Wang Shouren's appearance, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, shook his head and said, "Since you're here, let's do something!" I am going to change Guangningwei to recruit soldiers first, and some soldiers have been selected these days, probably more than 20,000, but these people are not enough, they need to be recruited and expanded, and they need to be retrained, and these things are just left to you to do. ”

The current Liaodong is not the Liaodong of the late Ming Dynasty, the Liaodong of this era is relatively peaceful, and the combat effectiveness of the three guards of Wuharan is low, and it is basically impossible to fight.

The Jurchen tribes, at this time, most of them are still in the forest, even if they come out, they don't dare to go against the Ming Dynasty, there was a fuss in the Chenghua years, but they were slaughtered by Wang Zhi with people, and it is estimated that they have not eased up now. By the way, it was the Jianzhou Jurchen who made a fuss during the Chenghua period, and it was obvious that this Jurchen was very restless, but at the moment it was nothing.
