Chapter 112: Using the Kings to Pawn Soldiers

After all, Feng Sheng is very old, and he has been in the north for several years, so he still has prestige in the army. The crown prince could not ignore Feng Sheng's influence. Naturally, we have to win over one or two. Let's take a look at the candidate proposed by Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng actually knew the work that King Yan did in his heart. After all, King Yan visited so many people. How can there be no one among them who has gone out of the way?

Feng Sheng secretly said in his heart, "It seems that most of this matter belongs to King Yan." But King Yan led the opposition to him. Feng Sheng naturally wouldn't recommend King Yan. The recommendation of others was rejected by the prince again. For Feng Sheng, it's not good. His heart turned and he said, "Your Highness has seen thousands of miles clearly, but the ministers are old, and many people can't remember clearly. I won't mention this candidate. However, the minister thought that there was a person who was most familiar with the situation in Liaodong and the Songhua River, and this time the Northern Expedition could be called to use him."

The prince said, "I don't know who it is?"

Feng Sheng said, "It is to keep the peace of Changchun Castle all the time. He has been guarding for several years, and he knows the local environment best, and he has been defeated several times at the beginning, so he is a talent that can be created."

The prince secretly said in his heart, "Ping'an, is it here?"

The crown prince had a natural affection for the courtiers who were martyred in the Battle of Jingjing, as well as the generals of the Southern Army. It's just that many generals who came out in ten years are now unknown. The prince is not easy to look for with great fanfare. Some people naturally fell into the eyes of the prince, such as Qu Neng, that is, his position was high enough, and he was already considered a senior general of the Ming Dynasty. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as the commander of the Sichuan Military Division.

And Ping An is not qualified to let the prince know his name.

The prince turned his head and asked He Xi, "Governor He, how do you feel about peace?"

Speaking of which, although Ping An is Feng Sheng's person, he is also He Xi's subordinate.

What can He Xi say?

First, Ping An is a famous figure in history, and the prince has already seen this history. He estimated that the prince had a tendency in his heart.

Second, Feng Sheng greeted him, Feng Cheng said in advance, what is it for? He Xi can not know. Although this incident was unexpected by both parties, He Xi could not violate the previous tacit understanding.

Third, He Xi has seen peace a few times. The ability of peace, He Xi still recognizes. Don't even talk nonsense with your eyes open.

So, He Xi said: "Your Highness, this person is safe, wise and brave, and his intelligence is alone, so that the Hu people do not dare to go south, but his courage can rush the enemy's army among the ten thousand armies, and kill the general to capture the flag. It's a big deal."

The prince said, "So be it. This information is too shallow, so let's be the deputy general of this battle."

As soon as the prince said this, there was naturally some commotion below, and the reason was very simple. It is because peace is too young and rises too fast. A few years ago, Ping An was only a thousand households, and in the past two or three years, he has become the deputy general of the army. This time, the number of troops was small. But as a commander, it is also a high-standard, and it is estimated that even if it is not King Yan, it will be a marquis, or an earl or something. Being able to block their deputy, peace is equivalent to stepping several levels at once.

However, they are also only a commotion. Don't dare to say more?

After all, Jun has no jokes, since the prince has said it, even if he feels that there is a problem with this appointment, none of the people below dare to let the prince take back this order. After all, once this is the case, where is the majesty of the crown prince?

But they were secretly jealous, and this peace was really good luck.

This time, the crown prince was to appease Song Guogong and give Song Guogong a lot of face.

They didn't think that Ping An had such an opportunity because of Ping An himself, but felt that Song Guogong had a big face.

Even Feng Sheng felt the same way. When he saw the prince like this, he had some complaints in his heart, and he lightened it a little. He said secretly in his heart; "That's it. In any case, step by step, the Northeast will be included in the Ming Dynasty, this is His Majesty's intention. I don't want to disobey. However, there are still opportunities in the future."

But I don't know that although he has the face of Song Guogong, in fact, the prince attaches more importance to the word peace. After all, after knowing the matter of Jing Nan, the prince has a sense of crisis in the army. I want to promote some of my own people.

The prince said, "King Yan."

King Yan immediately came out and said; "Minister

Yes."

The prince said: "King Yan, my brother also, sooner or later he will be sealed to the land outside the Guan, this time he will be the main general, Ping'an will be the deputy general, and a few more veterans will be selected to assist. What do you think?"

What else?

The crown prince said so, plus King Yan had done so much work before. Even if some people are not satisfied, they dare not say anything at this time. All they can say is His Highness's wisdom.

The prince saw that the people below had no objections. He said to King Yan; "There is only military law in the army, although you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, if you lose your teacher and humiliate the country, Lone will also ask your father to play the military law, and there will be no mercy, you have to think clearly."

King Yan said loudly, "If you lose this battle, please ask the eldest brother to behead me."

There is a reason why King Yan dares to say this. The Songhua River region, or the Northeast Plain, is actually full of water, or geographically speaking, all the plains in the world are man-made, not natural. What is a natural plain? It's Mizuzawa. The impact of rivers on the plains will naturally leave large and small river channels, with various swampy wetlands.

Of course, there is also solid land. But the problem is that relying only on the Songhua River, maintaining a direct logistics line to Liaodong, and then establishing a naval division. It's already invincible. Where will the battle be defeated.

The prince said, "Of course not, but I'm afraid you have to pay attention to the hat on your head."

King Yan didn't care, and said, "Big brother, my brother has an idea. That is, the place north of the Liaosong Canal will be established as a separate capital. for management. What does the eldest brother think?"

The crown prince turned his head and asked Feng Sheng, "What does Song Guogong think?"

Feng Sheng pondered for a moment and said; "Feasible."

This is not only the power positioning that King Yan gave himself.

King Yan is very aware of his logistics, most of them come from Liaodong, and this must be dealt with. The governor of Liaodong is also the relationship between He Xi and him. Otherwise, even if they have a good relationship, there will be conflicts in the future.

The best way is for King Yan to add a general rank, such as the general of Zhengbei, to lead Liaodong. If Liaodong is an ordinary person, this plan is feasible. King Yan is the prince? This identity is naturally a head higher, how can it not be? But He Xi is not an ordinary person. Not to mention, He Xi, the governor of Liaodong, is the only one in the world. It's simply that Zhu Yuanzhang set up an official because of people. It can be seen that He Xi is full of holy grace. Chinese Net

King Yan felt that he might not be able to control He Xi. But King Yan didn't want to be under He Xi either. So a separate capital division was established, and outside of the Liaodong capital division, it was naturally not under He Xi's control. He Xi supplied grain and grass to Changchun Dusi, which can be regarded as supporting brother units. Allocated by the imperial court.

With the relationship between King Yan and He Xi, King Yan feels that they can cooperate happily.

The prince asked He Xi and said, "What does Governor He think?"

He Xi said, "Obey the prince's orders."

The prince said; "So be it." Immediately, the prince said; "King Jin, King Qi, are you two willing to lead the troops to follow King Yan on the expedition?"

This question made King Jin and King Qi stunned.

The reason why the prince asked like this is that in fact, he went north this time, for the sake of the soldiers, for the Northern Expedition, it was all superficial work, in fact, what the prince really wanted to do was to remove the hidden dangers of the imperial court. And where are the hidden dangers of the imperial court? In the vassal kings, especially the four princes of Qin, Jin, Yan, and Qi.

They all have fiefs and armies.

King Yan is of course the most important. But the other vassal kings were not necessarily unimportant.

After this Northern Expedition, King Yan was almost solved. The other princes have not yet solved it, and the prince intends to use the routine of King Yan to join the three kings of Qin, Jin, and Qi into the Northern Expedition, and finally all the princes will be stuffed into Mobei in the future. They can also check and balance each other, which can be regarded as eliminating the hidden dangers in their hearts.

When the time comes, if it is really a day off, he will admit it.

The prince's idea is good. But he got one thing wrong, not all vassal kings went abroad, and not all vassal kings went outward. At least, King Jin didn't want to, and King Qi didn't want either. And King Qin, who was far away in Xi'an, didn't want to.

Of course, there is still a slight gap between not wanting to go and not wanting to go. Therefore, at this moment, King Jin and King Qi think differently.
