Under the countless flags, the highest one erected is the Shizi Flag.

Li Jian's face was covered with sweat.

He and his team, the soldiers in uniforms, stood beside them with their own fires, bayonets above their shoulders.

Everyone's eyes under the hat are looking into the distance.

They couldn't hear what the prince was talking about, but everyone remained motionless and kept a serious military posture.

The sun in the sky does not raise the temperature of the ground.

The weather in the Northern Parallel Province remains cold in February.

The soldiers who had just gone through the drill were all steaming.

"Whoa."

Like an ocean of soldiers, the army was silent, only the sound of flags being blown by the wind, making the silent space move.

"Miyun Stone Box Camp." of the battalion flag.

"Miyun Stone Box Battalion, Cavalry Battalion."

"Miyun Stone Box Battalion, Infantry Battalion."

"Golden State Battalion."

……

Zhang Xin, Yang Wen, Sun Yan, Zheng Heng, Liu Zhen, Zhou Xing, Zhuang De, Zhang Yu......

There are dozens of generals in Beiping, Liaodong, Daning, generals, and generals in various places.

Chen Heng and Jin Zhong bumped into each other and grabbed each other.

"Or do you know the little prince's mind."

Chen Heng sighed with emotion.

Jin Zhong couldn't help but smile.

"The little prince is too, if he thinks that there are few troops escorting him south, he will say it directly, and he will say a lot of inexplicable things."

Hearing Chen Heng's complaint, Jin Zhong smiled.

Naturally, the superior cannot say anything.

Aren't these cronies below them going to take the initiative to do it?

The matter of the little prince's southward movement was confirmed, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for the disbandment of the armies today, and it began.

Many of the armies were going south after they were over.

Preparations for Shandong and Henan have already begun.

Zhu Gaochi has not yet appeared, except for the generals who have important tasks on the scene, the rest of the generals are waiting for the little prince here.

Zhuang De hid far away, in the outermost part of the Liaodong generals.

hid around, but was still seen by Zhou Xing.

"You've been hiding from me lately."

Zhou Xing grabbed Zhuang De.

"You don't blame me?" Zhuang De asked.

"Of course it's weird."

Zhou Xing said confidently.

"When Guo Shi was in the beginning, let us not get involved, who said that we should be loyal to the imperial court?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhuang De unhappily.

Zhuang De touched the back of his head helplessly.

He's never going to fall for that again.

The affairs of the old Zhu family, they outsiders should not be involved, not only are their colleagues unhappy, but they are also not human beings inside and out.

Zhou Xing pleaded guilty to the palace that year.

It's not a bad thing to be guilty.

will be reconciled.

Such a good opportunity, if Zhou Xingba was connected to the palace at the beginning, then now the palace's trust in Zhou Xing is a new height.

As a result, because of the dissuasion of Zhuang De and others, Zhou Xing did not seize this opportunity.

Although I am still doing things under the banner of the palace, the meaning is still different, and I missed the best opportunity.

It's just that the old Zhu family can play, and the people below them have become a joke.

"I was reckless in this matter."

Zhuang De formally apologized to Zhou Xing.

"It's not outside." Zhou Xing smiled and did not blame Zhuang De.

Now.

People have to huddle.

Of course, the Beiping system is the coolest, followed by the Daning system, and finally the Liaodong department, as for the rest of the generals from other provinces, there is always a layer of difference when it comes to intimacy.

"Anyway, with the current situation in the palace, in the future, let's work hard." Zhuang De sighed.

There were many people in the Liaodong generals who complained about Zhuang De.

Not everyone can be as generous as Zhou Xing, and many people think that Zhuang De has delayed the future of the generals of the Liaodong system.

Zhou Xing nodded.

"The little prince has arrived."

Someone outside was singing.

The generals stopped talking and greeted them.

Zhu Gaochi walked in and met everyone one by one.

"Zhao An."

"Little Lord."

Zhu Gaochi patted the shoulder of the general in front of him.

Because of his brother's involvement, he was sent to the Ganzhou Weichong Army, and he belonged to the generals who were promoted from the northwest last year.

This talent, who is known as a good general in Western Xinjiang in history, is brave in battle and strategic, and is a general worth cultivating.

It is necessary to cultivate one's own talents.

However, expanding from Beiping to 11 provinces and one region, it is also necessary to absorb external talents.

Whether or not they can win the hearts and minds of the people also represents a sign of the stability of these regions.

Whether a system can bring external talents back to heart is a manifestation of whether the system is advanced, and Zhu Gaochi will definitely not refuse to win over foreign generals because of the disputes of the year.

For example, Li Shimin.

How many generals who originally belonged to his hostile forces were not only absorbed by Li Shimin later, but also reused by him.

A system that can't attract external talent is definitely problematic.

Even if there are countless talents joining in the construction of New China in later generations, it is an undeniable contribution.

Zhu Gaochi wants to break the mountainism.

Although this matter is not easy, everything is in moderation, and the mountainism is too strong, which is not conducive to the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty.

Then the generals from other provinces, as long as they are talented, Zhu Gaochi must be promoted.

For a general like Zhao An, who has been proven talented by history, the cost of trial and error has been guaranteed, how can he not be reused.

"There is no doubt about the strength of the new army, but your credit is the key, a good horse with a good saddle, the Ming needs you."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, and everyone showed smiling faces.

Soon.

Zhu Gaochi stood on the stage.

The sergeants below were densely packed, and everyone looked at the little prince, Zhu Gaochi couldn't see the tail, and he also knew that what he said could not be heard by the people behind him.

In front is the junior military attache of the army, dressed in a well-groomed military uniform and armed with a military attache sword.

"Ceremony!"

"Whoa......

100,000 soldiers saluted.

Zhu Gaochi also raised his hand.

"Rite over!"

"Brush ......"

Zhu Gaochi read the manuscript in his hand, part of which was written by the clerk in the clerical room, and part of which he changed by himself.

"At the behest of the emperor's grandfather, this son will not go south in the future."

"My father is about to be appointed as the crown prince, and the day this son arrives in Nanjing, it will be the time when he is crowned the emperor's grandson."

Zhu Gaochi said in public.

The surrounding generals were overjoyed and excited.

Zhu Gaochi read as usual.

The overall situation in the north has been calmed down, and the new army has expanded by 200,000, plus the reserve forces in Beiping and Daning.

Although the capital has not yet been announced, Zhu Gaochi believes that it can be revealed, which is beneficial to winning the hearts of all parties.

As for the opposition forces in the south, as long as the current situation is maintained and continues to develop, it is not a big problem.

"The model of Beiping will be pushed forward in the whole Daming."

"Develop social productive forces, improve production efficiency, people-oriented, and ensure people's living environment and working conditions."

"At the same time, the building of the army will be unswervingly promoted, the social status and security benefits of military households will be enhanced, and the combat capability of the army will be enhanced."

"Build a strong army that will win in battle, contribute to the prosperity and prosperity of Daming, and ensure the results of Daming's development."

Zhu Gaochi blows the wind to the army.

The reform of the Beiping army will not be limited by Beiping.

Improving the status and treatment of military households will also not be limited by Beiping.

The morale of the soldiers of the new army is high, the military discipline is strict, and the work style is excellent, which cannot be promoted by shouting a few slogans.

"Whoa."

The sergeants in the front row applauded desperately, and the soldiers in the back, although they didn't know what was happening in front of them, applauded along.

With Zhu Gaochi's speech, the soldiers burst into warm applause.

Day 2.

The armies marched.

……

Chuzhou.

"General, I received an urgent letter from the Ministry of War."

Xie Gui took the tea, took it from the person below, and opened it to take a look.

"Poof."

The tea in his mouth squirted.

"This is the fucking one who is here to attack our capital."

Everyone was shocked.

Xie Gui showed the official documents of the Ministry of War to the officials below.

Everyone was speechless after seeing it.

"Wow." A famous staff member muttered: "The army of 100,000 is going south, is it possible that the conversation with the saint has collapsed?" ”

"Who knows."

The army departed from the northern parallel provinces and arrived at the junction of Henan and Yingtianfu, and the junction of Shandong and Yingtianfu.

The governments of the two places quickly transmitted the news back to the capital.

Everyone in the capital was shaken.

Here's what to do.

The military department issued an official letter, telling all localities to wait for the will of the saint.

"There were tens of thousands of new troops in Henan and Shandong, plus the troops that were transferred one after another, with the combat effectiveness of the new army, if the imperial court did not pay close attention to the precautions, I am afraid that the capital would be in danger."

"It's not always said that saints have easy hearts."

"I see, this is King Yan's father and son persecuting the saints."

Listening to the deliberations of the officials, Xie Gui was distraught.

More than 100,000 new troops pressed on their heads.

Don't say that the capital didn't dare to move, he Xie Gui didn't dare to move.

Although Chuzhou is an important place to guard the gateway to the capital, Chuzhou has only more than 10,000 troops, how can it be the opponent of more than 100,000 new troops.

"With the transfer of such a large army, the amount of food and grass required is expensive, and with the mobilized people, there is no news at all in advance."

"I forgot about the railways between Henan and Shandong."

After being mentioned by others, the man suddenly realized and exclaimed: "The advantages of this railway are great, but the transfer of the army is too easy. ”

"In the past, grain and grass came first, and you could find it when there was wind and grass, but now you can't guard against it, how to know about the movement of the army in the future."

Everyone, you and I just don't come up with usable ideas.

Xie Gui walked out in annoyance.

Everything still depends on the attitude of the saint, but the saint has no action to deal with it.

"Fang Xiaoru, did they leave Chuzhou?"

"I've left."

Xie Gui heard his henchman's answer, and then he felt a little more comfortable.

He had some calculations before, and he didn't dare to do it, but he never expected Yan Shizi to be so cautious and dare to lead an army of 100,000 to the south.

With this 100,000 army, it is like a golden body.

Xie Gui didn't want to die with Yan Shizi.

"Although Yan Shizi is young, he is too cautious and unheard of."

"What shall we do?"

The henchman general was also speechless, he knew the general's plan on his head.

"Send someone to see Yan Shizi."

Xie Gui commanded.

The henchmen below didn't know why, and looked at their generals curiously.

"I have a list here, you can give it to Yan Shizi."

Xie Gui took out a book from his arms.

Confidants understood.

The general wanted to take refuge in Yan Shizi and betray the imperial grandson's family.

Xie Gui is confident that he will gain the trust of Yan Shizi.

He was ordered to garrison Chuzhou to defend the gateway to the capital, and he was a person worthy of King Yan's wooing, relying on his own means, Xie Gui believed that the new dynasty had its own position.
