Chapter 107: The Prince's Introspection
At this moment, the prince suddenly had some realization.
The influence of the so-called history on him in the future suddenly became indifferent.
Many times, everyone doesn't understand some truths, but they can't turn that corner. Unwilling to accept.
A long time ago, Princess Anqing and Zhu Yuanzhang had already told him. The future has changed, and the so-called history can only be used as a reference. It's just that the prince has vital interests related to it, and he cares too much about it, so he can't extricate himself.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that, in fact, no matter what others said, at least the fourth child did not mean this.
This result made the prince secretly relieved in his heart.
The crown prince watched King Yan grow up. I know King Yan very well, but over the years, the two places have been divided. I haven't seen each other for many years, so it's a little strange. Now, under the words, that familiar feeling has returned.
He could see that there were many untruths in King Yan's words, but the untruths were not in the fact that King Yan wanted to establish a vassal in Saibei. That's not the idea of hiding yourself from peeking into the position of the Great Treasure. For the crown prince.
That's it.
The inheritance of the throne is the bottom line that the crown prince cannot make concessions at all, and he cannot make concessions. Other than that, it's all good to say.
And even though the military outside the fortress is strong. But the prince knows one thing very well, with the completion of the Taiping Iron Works and the Shenyang Iron Works one after another, the mode of war has changed. The Mongolian cavalry is certainly an important part of the war, but the Mongolian cavalry alone cannot defeat the Ming iron armor infantry, artillery, and the Ming Dynasty's own iron cavalry.
And Beiping and Mobei are completely different. The Yanyun region, although separated from China for hundreds of years, is still the undisputed region of China. And Mobei is not within the scope of traditional China, and it is also a great blow to the tendency of the world's scholars.
The prince secretly said in his heart, "In that case, I will do what you wish." The prince said, "Fourth brother, I have allowed this matter. Meeting in a few days. I recommend you as a pioneer. Preside over the entire Northeast Battlefield. It's just this one thing, and I can't just agree to it. The opinions of those uncles and uncles are also important. You get the idea."
King Yan was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, big brother. I'm going to see you now, uncles and uncles, you're just knocking your heads on the ground. Let them let me this time too."
The prince of Yanwang still has face.
He really went down to plead in front of these veterans, and it was hard for these veterans to say no.
In this matter, King Yan is shameless.
——
Yan Wang taught He Xi horseback riding skills, which was very useful. He Xi rushed over from Liaodong this time, from Tianjin to Beiping, riding all the way, and he didn't feel anything, and thick calluses had already grown on his inner thighs. Got him used to the ups and downs of horseback riding.
It's just that there are too many things in Liaodong.
Many people don't realize one thing, Liaodong, which He Xi is responsible for, has a very different management model compared with other aspects of the imperial court. Not to mention anything else, in terms of workload alone, He Xi and his subordinates have twice as much workload as ordinary Ming officials.
Even, particularly busy jobs, such as those in the silver number, have a lot of calculations and heavy workloads, and they work overtime almost every day. In terms of working hours, it is no less than the working hours of modern white-collar workers. Even because of the problem of tools, there is no way to compare the workload.
Even if He Xi knew that the prince had come to Beiping. and summoned him. He could only hurry and set off. That's when it arrived.
He Xi arrived in Jingshi, and before he rested, Feng Cheng had already come to greet him. He said, "Lord He, all of you have arrived. It's good that you're here today. Otherwise, we won't be able to make it to this meeting."
He Xi hurriedly said, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Who's coming?"
Feng Cheng said; "From the east of Dongshengwei to Liaodong, all kinds of officials have come. King Yan, King Jin, and King Qi are also there. In short, there are a lot of bigwigs."
He Xi said to Wang Qianli behind him, "Find me a basin of water. I'll wash my face."
didn't wait for Wang Qianli to speak. Feng Cheng said, "That's not necessary. And now there is
In more than an hour, I have prepared hot soup, enough for adults to wash the dust. It's just that my uncle has an explanation."
He Xi said, "What do you have to explain?"
Feng Cheng said; "No matter what variables come along. Please stick to your previous position."
He Xi said, "Don't worry. I understand."
——
The hour has come.
The drums beat loudly.
The generals of all walks of life have already taken their seats. The prince turned out of the back hall. So all the generals stood up and saluted together, and needless to say.
He Xi was a little conspicuous among a group of people.
Therefore, all the generals and lords who came from all over the country had knighthoods. Although He Xi is a colt, he is not a lord in the end.
The prince's gaze swept across the audience. said indifferently: "The lonely father and emperor inspected the north and summoned the generals today, just to understand the situation on the frontier. Who's going to come first?"
No one below took the initiative to ask for help. The prince said, "Has the commander of Shanxi Xingdu come here?"
Immediately, someone stood up and said loudly, "Chen Qu can meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince looked at Qu Neng, and there was a hint of gentleness in his eyes.
This is the fierce general who fought in Beiping City and Baigou River in the Battle of Jingnan.
During the Yongle period, the reason why the king of Han and the prince fought was that the king of Han was in the midst of the martyrdom, and once saved Yongle in the war, Yongle stroked his back and said, "Reluctantly, the son of the world is sick." When did you say this sentence, it was that Qu Neng was beaten up and changed hands. If it weren't for King Han's timely arrival, Yongle's head would probably be gone.
It can be seen how brave Qu Neng is.
Originally, Qu Neng worked in Sichuan in history and made many achievements. After the prince learned about this person, he was directly transferred to the north. He is in charge of the commander of the capital of Shanxi.
The so-called Xingdu Division is a separate capital division.
Generally speaking, the capital belongs to the province. It is also called the three divisions according to the chief secretary and the judge. However, in some places, due to geographical and military reasons, it is necessary to set up another organization to manage several health centers, that is, the Xingdu Division.
Fujian, Shanxi, all have the capital division.
And the Liaodong Metropolitan Division is essentially a kind of Xingdu Division, because Liaodong is nominally under the jurisdiction of Shandong. It's just that it's not called Xingdusi.
The place under the jurisdiction of the Shanxi Xingdu Division is Datong and Hetao areas, and there are about a dozen health centers. In terms of scale, it is almost the same as the scale of Liaodong. Of course, it was the previous Liaodong, not the current Liaodong.
The prince said; "How is Shanxi Xingdu Division? Especially Dongsheng Zhuwei, tell me about it in detail."
Qu Neng was also very excited, because it was very rare to have a chance to perform beside the prince. He immediately said aloud: "Since the establishment of Dongshengwei, special attention has been paid to the matter of tun farming, the former agricultural official Huang Zicheng, opened both sides of the Fengzhou River, more than 80,000 acres, after the arrival of the minister, explored the Yellow River and its tributaries for more than 1,000 li, set up more than 180 large and small forts, recruited the people of Shanxi, more than 100,000 people, and recruited the grassland Han people, 130,000 people. Mongolian tribes, more than 30,000 people. More than 1,000 miles of river canals are repaired, and there are 30,000 hectares of cultivated land. Since Hongwu has been self-sufficient for 20 years, there is a surplus every year. From now on, there is no need to requisition Shanxi grain and grass. Now, in the entire Xingdu Division, there are as many as 230,000 stone of grain in stock. There are 13 horse farms with more than 100,000 horses. Armor and equipment are readily available, and the soldiers are waiting for the day, as long as His Royal Highness gives an order, the ministers are willing to be the vanguard, cross the Hanhai, and go straight to the Dragon Court."
Qu Neng's words made many people uncomfortable to hear.
Qu Neng's father, Qu Tong, was a native of Hefei, and defected to Zhu Yuanzhang very early, making good use of spears, known as the thousand households with spears. It's been a few years since he died. And Qu Neng has today's status because of Qu Tong's legacy. Otherwise, he would not have become a commander at such a young age.
It's just that although Qu Tong is a member of the old brothers in Huaixi. But the talent is mediocre. After all, in the turbulent era at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, if he really has the ability. How could Zhu Yuanzhang not use it?
When Qu Tong was there, in front of these veterans, he didn't dare to make a mistake, as for Qu Neng
This junior kid is even more unseen.
Now the vanguard of the Northern Expedition, I don't know how many people are staring. Qu Neng is a child, and he dares to speak loudly. These people can be used to it.
