Chapter 148: Nanjing (36)
Gao Sheng can see that he is blind, and Huimei is a big girl who doesn't know the world.
When I saw Wei Yue, I also had a wry smile on my face, and I looked helpless. Gao Sheng smiled and nodded, didn't say anything, turned around and left.
has already informed Wei Yue, the prince's confidant, and then he will inform the prince again, this matter, how to deal with it now, it depends on Wei Yue.
"Let's go!"
Wei Yue glanced at Huimei, and he smiled bitterly at this straightforward girl, and he had a good impression in his heart.
People who practice martial arts, I'm afraid they still like to be so untwisted!
"Let's go, I can make it clear, if you really want to do it, you can't push me back!"
General Wei, who did not change his face in front of the ......thousands of troops and horses, finally conceded defeat and was helpless.
β¦β¦β¦β¦ When Zhu Cihong arrived at the alley outside Feng's mansion, Feng's mansion already knew the news, all the big lanterns on the hanging lamp pole were lit, Feng Yuanbiao and Feng Yuanyang brothers stood at the head of the line in front of the door, and their nephews and family members stood behind, and saw the crown prince riding over from a distance, and the two old men took the lead, and it was Hulala's kneeling at the moment.
"Wait for the audience to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Excuse me, get up!"
Zhu Cihong looked very relaxed, jumped off the horse, helped Feng Yuanbiao and the two brothers up with his own hands, and said with a smile: "There is no way to kneel, don't kneel anymore when you go in, you are all old ministers with silver hair, look at you kneeling, I feel uneasy." β
"Yes, since His Highness forgives his brother for being rude, it is according to His Highness's words."
The two old brothers looked at each other and smiled, and they could see that each other's faces were full of relief!
The prince is now proud, and he looks like he wants to bow to the leader, but he looks more stable and modest. As an old minister, I am afraid that the prince will rely on his merits and talents and cause trouble, but now it seems that it is irrelevant.
At the moment, since he was invited to enter the mansion, the main hall of the Feng Mansion was brightly lit, and after Zhu Cihong sat down, he looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Rushing south, I'm afraid that you won't be used to living, but now it seems that Nanjing is quite comfortable?" β
This can be regarded as the king's question, Feng Yuanbiao said with a smile: "The ministers and brothers are not greedy or take it when they are officials, and they can't put on such a big show." Fortunately, it was a reward from His Royal Highness, and the two brothers were very happy to be able to live together when they were old, so they were slightly decorated, and they lived much more comfortably than in Beijing. β
"That's how it should be!"
Zhu Cihong's expression was stretched and he was very happy. After a pause, he smiled again: "Let's get down to business first, how about it, has the news come back?" β
"Yes, Rong Chen is slow."
According to Zhu Cihong's arrangement, a few people were sent out. Among them, the most important and important way is not Liu Liangzuo, nor Gao Jie or Zuo Liangyu, but Huang Degong, whose strength is not particularly outstanding.
asked Huang Degong to drive to Yangzhou, thinking that the stamina directly under the prince would accept changes in the future, and there would be a steady stream of food and salary, which was naturally a package ticket.
The one who came out to talk about it was Feng Kaizhang, the Feng family's thousand-mile horse.
Zhu Cihong now has a lot of people on hand, and there are only a few who have believed it, and this kind of confidential errand, of course, can only be entrusted to this six-rate chief military officer.
"Liu Liangzuo is a very happy promise. His Royal Highness asked him to station troops in the area of Sizhou, and he agreed. However, it is very difficult to speak, what food and salary are in short supply, the soldiers cannot move without pay, anyway, there is nothing going on, and there are a lot of words. β
The one sent to Liu Liangzuo was originally an irrelevant messenger, holding Feng Yuanbiao's big hat letter, but Zhu Cihong also gave special rewards such as silver medals, iron whips, and inside and outside.
After all, Feng Yuanbiao has been the secretary of the military department for several years, although he has not made many achievements, but he is quite perfunctory to a powerful warlord like Liu Liangzuo during his tenure, so it is very appropriate for him to show up.
"Hmm." Zhu Cihong nodded and said with a smile: "He can just promise to move, and don't want him to do anything else." β
"The minister wants to ask His Highness to be careful, his brother has now voted on the side of Jiannu."
"I know, that's why I'm not going to ask him to do anything. Just don't mess around! β
Liu Liangzuo is a villain in the town, and he is very unbearable compared to Liu Zeqing. And the brothers have already surrendered, you can imagine what kind of situation this person will be like when the Jiannu army presses the border!
However, Zhu Cihong doesn't take this person very seriously, Liu Liangzuo is the most incompetent one in the four towns, and the soldiers and horses under his command are of little use, at this stage, as long as you don't make trouble.
"Huang Degong......" Feng Yuanbiao looked at Feng Yuanyang, paused for a moment, and then said: "Huang Degong is a rough man, he only said that he would listen to the orders of the imperial court, and the rest don't have to talk about it." β
"He's a wonderful person, too."
Zhu Cihong smiled, stepped off the chair, and paced a few steps before he smiled: "He is the grace of Ma Shiying, and he can't bear to turn his back on his master." Don't want so many benefits, since that's the case, don't force him! However, he can't be stationed in Luzhou, and I'm going to transfer him to Taiping Mansion. β
"Taiping Mansion?"
"Yes." Zhu Cihong didn't want to say more, because the Taiping Mansion was to guard against Zuo Liangyu! At the moment, he asked again: "What did Zuo Liangyu say?" β
He worshiped the marshal to control the country's soldiers and horses, and originally didn't need to say anything to these generals in private, but the end of the Ming Dynasty had long been feudal and private, and Zhu Cihong's current actions were also helpless.
"Zuo Zhen......" Feng Yuanbiao's face also became very ugly, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "Of course Zuo Liangyu himself will not see the envoy sent by His Royal Highness, but he will meet Huang Shu from Huguang, and the conditions are what is written on the paper!" β
"Feudal marquis? Why didn't he want to be crowned? Zhu Cihong took it and looked at it, and smiled: "The ambition is not too big." β
Next, his face became gloomy.
"Feng Hou, give Wuchang to his family town, 200,000 soldiers, 1 million annual salary, 1.2 million in color...... Armament and clothing are not included yet......"
Zhu Cihong laughed angrily, pressed the paper in his hand on the table, and as soon as he raised his hand, he was about to slap it again.
However, when I thought about it, I also thought it was funny. What kind of person is Zuo Liangyu, and what else did he not know in advance? The dispatch of the messenger this time, the starry night said, in fact, it is to give the towns a peace of mind.
In fact, he may not be able to look at the troops in various towns!
At the moment, he only said viciously: "It's better to rely on others than on yourself!" Nanjing, I'm almost gone, the political axe is also rebuilt, my father has recovered his spirit, and now I want to train a strong army! Enrich the Generalissimo's Mansion with 5,000 Huai soldiers, I don't believe it, I can't train 30,000 strong soldiers in half a year! β
Feng Yuanbiao wanted to speak and stopped, but when he didn't say anything, someone from outside came to report: "Your Highness, there is a military attachΓ©, who said that he is from the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Generalissimo's Mansion, and he has something important to ask to see." β
"Oh, pass it in!"
Zhu Cihong knew that he was promoted, and there was no important matter, and he would never chase him here at this time. The Generalissimo's Mansion is now in order, especially if Chen Mingxia and Feng Kaizhang are not there, there will be no one who is in charge.
Liu Zhaohui next to him manages the direct guard very well, and he is a little immature when he directly deals with major matters. Gong Xiaozu, for the time being, can't be called.
Only you have to work harder for yourself.
Be silent at the moment, and wait for the high to rise.
After Gao Sheng finished speaking, Zhu Cihong knew that he had thought too easily and naΓ―ve!
After practicing the Beijing camp, his self-confidence has also swelled a little!
After all, most of the people in the Beijing camp are military attachΓ©s, and there are many unqualified ones, and there are only a few embers left for hundreds of years, and he happened to be matched into a team that can be relied on.
With such experience, he thought that it should not be too difficult to subdue an army with authority, coupled with strict military discipline, substantial salaries, and honor and status in the future.
However, he didn't expect that once a soldier was once evil, but still a whole, how difficult it would be to change the chronic disease!
Liu Zeqing's Huai Army is already difficult to twist from the roots!
It can only be used separately, not as a whole.
And Huaishang trained soldiers, and only with bare hands, he trained a strong army by himself.
Come to think of it, it's still too rushed.
Train a strong army with a mobile surname, the national strength of the air Nanming, and the priority equipment in armor, weapons, mules, and horses, and when the Qing army and the Shun army are fighting, they will send troops to grab a big bargain back.
Look at it now, Nanming's problem is that he is terminally ill, under such a political system, he wants to cheer up for a while, because he takes the ancients too lightly and sees things too easily!
The original practice was to keep squeezing and treating the soldiers well, but to squeeze the generals of Liu Zeqing's line and squeeze them away, he thought he had a plan even if he made a mistake, and as a result, he was actually more responsible for breaking up now.
For a while, he only felt remorseful and ashamed.
It's just that looking around, whether it is the Feng brothers, Wang Yuan and other generals, looking at him, there is only concern and anger that can't be concealed!
This is also very gratifying for Zhu Cihong!
"Your Highness, let the ministers lead the troops to kill them!"
Wang Yuan said angrily: "Shameless for face, the salary is the same as the six rates, and the merit has not been achieved, and now you dare to make such a fuss?" As long as the minister brought 300 cavalry, he immediately leveled them. β
"Nope." Li Gong shook his head on the side and said, "What hurts His Highness like this is His Highness's face." β
"Then if you don't kill it, it won't hurt?"
"Wait a minute." Zhu Cihong stopped their words, and his face was also realized, and asked, "Why did they come out to make trouble?" β
"Yes." Gao Sheng replied: "I heard that when I was in Huai'an, I was in arrears for three months, and His Royal Highness did not make up the salary at that time...... As a result, this kind of thing happened. β
"I see."
After arriving in Nanjing, Zhu Cihong's energy was spent on major political reforms, and he was less concerned about the armed forces at hand.
Now it seems that it has also given people an opportunity to take advantage of...... Zhu Cihong sneered: "It seems that this time it is not only the lords and generals, but also the civil officials...... Okay, hook your hands, you can't get along with me. β
"Your Highness......" Feng Yuanbiao was uneasy in his heart, and stepped forward to persuade: "At this time, you must be calm, and you can't give people a chance." β
"I know." Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Under the chaos, you can see people's hearts. Taking advantage of this incident, it is also to take a look, in all directions, the wind and clouds will meet, and it is also very lively to think about. Today's situation, I don't know how many people will be provoked to show up and intrigue...... In this way, you can see it clearly. β
Everyone present, that is, with him as the main backbone, saw that Zhu Cihong calmed down at this time, and everyone also felt a little at ease.
"Wei Yue will definitely not disappoint me, in the area of Dagongfang, there is actually no need to worry." At the moment of the great change, Zhu Cihong calmed down, looked around, and said with a smile: "This time, I won't make any more moves anyway, otherwise the crown prince will become a brave man, and he will be even more shameless." But the Forbidden Army Lords, I'm going to arrange it, and see how bold they are! β
