Chapter 166: Three Thousand Battalions and the Divine Machine Battalion

"It's Wang Xianzhi of Xichang County, when Guo Baokun brought people to Shangyifang, Wang Xianzhi hid in the crowd."

Xu Yanran suddenly remembered.

"This matter can be discussed later, you go back first, and there will be people from the Tobacco Department to help restore order."

Lin Hao waved his hand.

Several properties have been seized, and the first problem at this time is to calm the emotions of customers.

……

East Palace.

"Your Highness, why didn't you discuss this matter with the old minister first?"

Yao Guangxiao frowned.

He had already learned from Xie Jin's mouth that what Zhu Gaochi had done was, in his opinion, too stupid.

The gains and losses of one city and one pool are irrelevant, but it is absolutely not permissible to touch on issues of principle.

Clear-eyed people know that Lin Hao is a celebrity in front of His Majesty, and even he has to avoid the edge for the time being.

If you want to bring down Lin Hao, you can only think slowly, Zhu Gaochi blatantly bypassed His Majesty.

"What do you have to discuss with you, it has always been the word forbearance, this palace found that you are becoming more and more timid, this palace acts reasonably, even if it is the father, he will definitely not find the slightest fault."

Zhu Gaochi said in a cold tone.

kept saying that it was for his good, but since Lin Hao appeared, he has never played a substantive role.

Even Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, can at least act according to what he says.

"The old minister has tried his best to inherit the unification for you, think about it carefully, every time he fights with Lin Hao, the East Palace can have an advantage in his hands, take this time as an example, Beizhen Fusi took people away, the store was sealed, what did they lose, it was just two silver taels."

"Your Majesty's secret edict is not to release people, as for why Your Majesty wants to issue this secret edict, the implication must not be repeated by the old minister, the criminal department is still Jin Chun, and he has never favored any prince, but now that Zhu Gaoxu has an accident, he is busy with him, which is not enough to explain the problem?"

"Shen Lian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Zhao Si of the East Factory, Song Li, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Works, and so on, were all out of the way before, why are they all so close to His Royal Highness now, have you ever thought about it in the East Palace?"

Yao Guangxiao hated that iron could not become a steel road, and his tone was full of regret.

I had a good hand, but if I continued to act so recklessly, what would I do?

Zhu Gaochi was shocked by Yao Guangxiao's back in a layer of cold sweat, he had indeed never thought of this layer before.

In his eyes, as long as he is disobedient, he will change to that Shen Lian.

"That's it, it's useless to say more, I hope Donggong thinks about it more."

Yao Guangxiao arched his hand towards Zhu Gaochi and turned to leave the East Palace.

……

Early the next morning.

Hundreds of civil and military officials stood in front of the Taiji Hall in turn.

"Big brother, do you want to give me an explanation for yesterday's incident?"

Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were gloomy, and he looked at Zhu Gaochi who was walking in the distance.

"Why do you need to explain to you when this palace acts, don't forget, this palace is the crown prince."

Zhu Gaochi snorted lightly, his eyes full of disdain.

"Second brother, let me beat this kid, I can't bear it!"

Zhu Gaosui clenched his fists and opened his eyes angrily.

"Who will have the last laugh is not certain, and what about the crown prince?"

Zhu Gaoxu grabbed Zhu Gaosui's collar and dragged him back.

Lin Hao stood in the corner silently, lit a cigarette, and silently watched a few people.

Ring the bell.

"Go to court!"

Zhao Si pinched his throat and shouted.

"Xuanguozi is the priest of Jiu Lin Hao."

Zhu Di sat on the dragon chair, his face was full of red light, and he had no clue about drinking with Shu Xiucai Chengguo last night, so comfortable.

"Weichen Lin Hao, meet Your Majesty!"

Lin Hao bowed towards Zhu Di.

"Lin Aiqing, this time I went to Jiangnan Mansion to build a water system, not only to solve the drought in Jiangnan Mansion, but also to use the method of work-for-relief to properly resettle millions of displaced people and solve the disease in my heart."

"When the canal is opened, Caoyun will be able to bring the blessings of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred generations, which can be said to be an immortal contribution to the Ming Dynasty, let's talk about it, what reward do you want."

Zhu Di said with a smile in his eyes, what else can't be given besides this country.

"This matter is the duty of the ministers, do not dare to covet rewards, the real immortal contribution to the court should be the second highness, if your majesty really wants to give, will hand over the three thousand battalions to the second highness Zhu Gaoxu command."

Lin Hao knew that if he really didn't want to reward him, Zhu Di's face would not be able to hang up.

If it is next, in this whole world, except for the army in Zhu Di's hands, there is no reward that can make his heart move.

But as soon as he asked Zhu Di for the army, he would inevitably be reprimanded by those pedantic and stubborn people above the court.

And Zhu Gaoxu is different, not only as a prince, but also born in the military camp, the Fengzi battalion cultivated over the years can be 500, the number of 3,000 people, and the military quality is absolutely excellent.

The 3,000 battalions are the 3,000 cavalry who came to surrender in the Northern Yuan, all of them are good on horseback, and they are invincible in any battle.

After decades of fierce soldiers, today's 3,000 battalions have nearly 30,000 iron cavalry, and whoever can master this army will have the weapon to win on the battlefield outside the Guanwai.

This is also one of Lin Hao's plans for the conquest of Mobei, on the grassland, only the cavalry can confront the cavalry.

"Presumptuous, the three thousand battalions are the first iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, invincible, and they have always been jointly led by Lord Jin Zhong, the secretary of the military department, and His Majesty, Lin boy, you are a little too greedy!"

Yao Ji pointed at Lin Hao's nose and scolded.

Yao Ji, who is now the commander of the Jinyi Guard, also has the qualifications to discuss matters in the court.

Zhu Gaochi's face was cloudy, and Lin Hao really dared to say that even the three thousand battalions tried to get involved.

As for Jin Zhong, he stood in the corner, silent, how shrewd he was.

Since Lin Hao dared to speak above this court, he must have secretly discussed it with His Majesty.

Otherwise, with the sake of his country's priest wine, he would dare to get involved in the army?

I have guarded the 3,000 battalions for most of my life, and I originally thought that when I would retire, I would entrust my Majesty to the hands of the East Palace, but now it seems that I am afraid that there is no such opportunity.

"Father, the son doesn't want any rewards, so he wants these 3,000 battalions!"

Although Zhu Gaoxu didn't know what Lin Hao's move meant, he was really greedy for the 3,000 battalions.

Although the 500 soldiers of the Fengzi Battalion all have war horses, the number of sweat and blood horses is less than one.

And the 3,000 battalions are all sweaty and bloody BMWs in the prime of life, traveling thousands of miles in a day and 800 at night.

One-third of the soldiers were the Mongolian iron horsemen who made the world feared before!

"According to you, Jin Zhongshangshu is old, it's time to enjoy the blessings, from now on, the three thousand battalions will be handed over to Xu'er to command, and I will give you this half of the talisman first, and after retiring from the dynasty, Jin Shangshu will hand over the remaining half of the talisman to Xu'er."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di spoke.

Zhao Si held a brocade box and walked to Zhu Gaoxu's side.

"Thank you for your father's grace!"

Zhu Gaoxu opened the brocade box, only to see half a bronze talisman lying quietly in it, and the talisman was engraved with the three characters of Shenshuying with a rough seal, and his heart was ecstatic.

"Weichen takes the order!"

Jin Zhong also sighed helplessly, His Majesty asked him to hand over the talisman, what could he do.

Zhu Di knew in his heart that Lin Hao's request for these 3,000 battalions was mostly planned and calculated for the later conquest of Mobei.

Although the 3,000 battalions were brave in battle, and they had fought against the Tatars on the steppe, they did not gain much advantage.

I also want to see what kind of surprise the three thousand battalions can bring when they are handed over to Lin Xiaozi.

"Please also think twice, it's not that His Royal Highness the Second Highness has no talent to command the 3,000 battalions, but that His Royal Highness the Second is really young, and the 3,000 battalions are the first iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, if something goes wrong, the Ming Dynasty can't afford this loss."

"I also ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order, for a period of three years, let the Second Highness continue to train the Fengzi Battalion, and in the year of the weak crown, there will be some achievements, and it will not be too late to hand over the three thousand battalions to the Second Highness."

Yao Guangxiao hurriedly stepped forward and greeted him.

Since Emperor Taizu, if you want to mobilize 3,000 battalions, you have to gather two halves of the talisman.

Half of them are in the hands of the military department, and the remaining half is in the hands of His Majesty.

Half of the military department is in the hands of the secretary of the army, and he only has the qualification to train 3,000 battalions, and as for other orders, the two must be combined.

If His Majesty only handed over the half in Jin Zhong's hand to Zhu Gaoxu, he would have nothing to say.

But now, even the half in His Majesty's hand was given to Zhu Gaoxu, which means that after today, the 3,000 battalions will become Zhu Gaoxu's personal guard.

The phoenix battalion of five hundred horsemen is not to be feared, but this first iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has to be guarded against.

"Please also ask my father to think twice, although the second brother has made miraculous achievements, but as Master Yao said, after all, he is young, and the reward can be completely replaced by others, such as land or wealth."

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao kept staring, Zhu Gaochi also hurriedly stepped forward and agreed.

"What if you are young, sooner or later, my father will have to leave, and the country of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to your brothers sooner or later, there is no need to discuss this matter, and the three thousand battalions will be handed over to Xu'er."

"As for Chi'er, my father will not favor one over the other, and the Shenji Camp will be handed over to you to take care of, and my father wants to see how the same team will be in the hands of your brothers."

"Jin Shangshu, half of the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, after retiring from the dynasty, it will be handed over to Chi'er."

Zhu Di waved his hand.

"Thank you, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi was ecstatic in his heart.

It seems that the father still takes care of himself, although the Shenshu Camp is the first iron weapon of the Ming Dynasty, but after all, it is manpower.

And what the Shenji Battalion uses is artillery, a conquering city, and an invincible artifact!

The 5,000 men and horses of the Shenji Battalion, if it is against the Shenshu Battalion, it only takes a few rounds of salvos to destroy the entire Shenshu Battalion.

"East Palace, ask Your Majesty about the half of the talisman in his old man's hand."

Yao Guangxiao moved his steps, leaned over to Zhu Gaochi's side, and lowered his voice.

"By the way, Father, did you forget to give the half of the talisman in your hand to the Divine Machine Battalion?"

Zhu Gaochi asked.

"The Divine Machine Battalion is in your hands with Chi'er, and you are responsible for the weekday drills, if you really want to mobilize the Divine Machine Battalion, your father will personally issue an edict."

Zhu Di stopped Zhu Gaochi's words.

The corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth suddenly twitched, and the smile on his face was also solidified, although the strategic value of the Shenji Battalion was far greater than that of the Shenshu Battalion.

But if you only have half a talisman in your hand, it's like you can't use it, what does it do?

Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something, but Yao Guangxiao took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, the two princes have their own merits, and they will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." ”

"Lin Aiqing has made a meritorious service, and the reward is deserved, giving a bullfighting suit, a bounty of 10,000 taels, and a fief of 200 miles in Shucheng.

Zhu Di lit a cigarette and talked eloquently.

"The bullfighting suit has always been only a third-grade master, and only after making a contribution can he be served by the Son of Heaven, Lin Hao is just a fourth-grade Guozi priest wine, how can he be?"

"The prince of the country is just a civil official, a fief of two hundred miles, this is going to break the rules of the ancestors!"

……

As soon as Zhu Di's words came out, he immediately attracted a burst of whispers.
