Chapter 43: Suppression of Bandits

The little prince knew that he could really lead the troops, and his heart was extremely excited! You must know that there are many kings of the Ming Domain, and what they are implementing is the strategy of raising the domain. The feudal lords enjoyed taxes and various privileges in their fiefdoms, but correspondingly, the kings, including their relatives, could not leave their cities at will, but could only stay in the fiefdoms and could not participate in military, political, economic and other activities.

Of course, King An is located on the border, which is a little different, but it is also limited. Although it is freer than the kings of the mainland, it is also limited.

This time, General Jiang led a large group of border troops to the expedition, and in desperation, entrusted the safety of Ningxia City to King An. King An is also considering enriching the strength of the border army, and let the little prince lead the guards to join the border army, which not only satisfies the border army generals, but also satisfies the wish of the little prince to lead the troops to fight!

At that moment, the little prince came out and said excitedly: "Since my father appointed the child as the prison army, then I have some words, but I want to admonish it, and ask my father for permission!"

Of course, King An hopes that the little prince can get experience after joining the border army, and he also wants to hear his thoughts, after all, in the eyes of King An, the little prince is still too young, at this time, the little prince suddenly said that he had something to say, and King An naturally wanted to hear what strategy he had, so he immediately nodded and said, "You just try to say it!"

The little prince sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said loudly: "Ningxia Wei is one of the nine important towns, it has always been an important place for the imperial court, and it is the frontier of the fight against the Mongolian Tatars! Now because of the battle on the Great Wall, General Jiang wants to command most of the border troops to go, so that Ningxia Wei only has a border army of 10,000 people, and the garrison force is inevitably a little empty!"

Speaking of this, the little prince paused again, and when King An heard this, although there was nothing too outstanding, it was relatively decent, and he immediately nodded and said, "Well, what my son said is not bad, so do you have any way to solve it?"

"The child thinks, if we have 10,000 border troops, plus 5,000 of our palace guards, all of them will shrink into this Ningxia City, but it is a taboo for soldiers!" The little prince also saw the slightly satisfied look on King An's face, and continued to admonish, "So I think we can allocate two thousand elite guards and one thousand horse troops to scatter in the vast fields outside the city, accumulate more beacon fires and other things, and when we can detect the enemy's traces, immediately light the beacon fire, and report back to Ningxia City, so as to give us time to prepare!"

"Huh?" King An heard that the little prince really had a warning, and it was also the strategy of this beacon warning, so he immediately nodded and said to Qiu Yue, "General Qiu, you are a battlefield general, come and see, is my son's plan feasible?"

Qiu Yue smiled when the little prince said the plan, and when he heard King An's question, he pondered for a while, nodded, and said: "The little prince's plan is also a good way! The main enemy of our army is the Tartars in the north! These people have grown up on horseback since childhood, and guerrilla warfare is very annoying! Therefore, our dynasty recast the Great Wall, thinking that it was a precaution! Now that Jiang Zongbing has taken away most of the border army, I am afraid that the sentry of the Great Wall will not be timely! This strategy of the little prince is indeed a rare and good policy!"

With Qiu Yue's approval, the little prince couldn't help but nodded happily, and smiled at Qiu Yue, Qiu Yue hurriedly arched his hand at the little prince, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

King An didn't care so much, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then said to He Jin, who was standing beside Zilong: "Commander He, this matter will be left to you! You have to choose a reliable and shrewd henchman, go to the surrounding sentry of Ningxia, and as soon as there is any trouble, immediately light the beacon fire to warn!"

When He Jin heard this, he came out and hugged his fists and said, "Oh!"

King An was also very happy to see that the little prince's strategy had been approved and implemented, and glanced at the little prince again, and said, "Deacon, how is the situation in the Black Wind Village that I asked you to investigate?"

It turned out that the little prince's name was Zhu Zhi, and he only heard him say: "Father, the child was ordered by his father to investigate the situation of the bandit Heifeng Village last month. For so many days, the child and Qiu Yue ran around and didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and tried their best not only to draw a map of Black Wind Village, but also to find out a lot of news about Black Wind Village!"

"Well done, what news have you found?" Wang An asked, his eyes lit up when he heard this.

Zhu Zhi said slowly: "I have already written a post for the specific news, please take a look at it." As he spoke, he took out the post from his sleeve and handed it to King An.

While Wang An read the post, Zhu Zhi continued: "Heifeng Village has no king's law, and is very arrogant, harassing the people everywhere, looting grain, livestock and people, and harming one party. In the child's opinion, we in Ningxia should exterminate these bandits as soon as possible, and we must not allow them to do such evil!"

"Well," King An glanced at it, pondered for a moment, and said to Qiu Yue: "Heifeng Village is really arrogant, General Qiu, do you think our army can fight with Heifeng Village, after all, now that the main force is going north, I just heard General Jiang say that the military salary allocated to us by the imperial court is less than half of what it was three years ago, and the morale of the army is not as good as before!"

Qiu Yue said respectfully: "There is a little prince who goes back to supervise the army and trains for a period of time, plus the masters of the palace guards join, I expect to suppress a bandit cottage, but it is just as easy as a finger!"

King An nodded with satisfaction, just when he saw Zilong, he said to him: "Zilong, are you still used to coming to my palace during this time?"

"With the care of the prince and the care of Commander He, everything is fine!" Zilong stood up straight and said sincerely.

"That's good!" King An nodded with a smile and said, "Now that the border army is empty and Ningxia is unstable, I want to send you to the border army to strengthen the strength of the border army, what do you think?"

Zilong naturally didn't allow anything, and immediately replied: "I listen to the prince!"

"Okay!" King An was extremely satisfied with Zilong's obedience, and glanced at Qiu Yue again. Seeing that King An was so polite to this young man, he didn't wait for King An to speak, and immediately said directly: "Since the prince values this son so much, why don't I give a group of soldiers and horses to this son as the commander, and appoint him as the president of Qian!"

"Won't this destroy the army system?" King An was extremely satisfied in his heart, but he continued to excuse himself.

"No!" Qiu Yue rolled his eyes and said, "There is a team of people, their Qianzong died in the last war, and he has always been a temporary replacement of the general leader! This Zilong Gongzi is a talent, and he is a Qianzong, I'm afraid it's as easy as turning his palm to look at the pattern! And our army is now going to exterminate Heifeng Village, and it is the time to employ people!"

"That's good, that's good!" King An nodded with satisfaction, and said to Zilong, "Then I will arrange for you to enter the border army and be a thousand generals, what do you think!"

"It's all arranged by the prince!" Zilong didn't know how big an official Qian was, but he knew that King An was really good to him, so how King An arranged it, how he accepted it!

"Okay, then Deacon and Zilong will go down and clean up, and then they will go directly to General Qiu to take office! He Jin, you quickly go and pick out a thousand horse army guards and hand them over to Zhi'er to bring!" King An saw that everything was properly discussed, and immediately ordered directly.

When Zhu Zhi listened to King An Feng Zilong as the president of Qian, his expression was a little wrong, and he immediately said out loud at this time: "The child still has some things, I want to discuss it with my father!"

"Oh?" Wang An glanced at suspiciously, waved at the others, and motioned for them to stand down.

Everyone bowed their hands in unison, turned and retreated. Although Wan'er was very reluctant to move to the border army not long after Zilong came to the palace, she was helpless! After all, it was her father who gave the order, and the starting point was also to protect the safety of Ningxia City.

In this way, after everyone retreated, Wan'er was bored, and also retired to King An and withdrew from the living room. When only King An and Sun Jingwen were left in the living room. Zhu Zhi said loudly: "Father, if you say Mr. Qian, I think Chen Qianhu of the Guards Division in our house is more suitable! Why did you arrange this Deputy Commander Xu of unknown origin?"

"Chen Qianhu?" King An was stunned for a moment when he heard this, thought for a moment, and then said: "This Deputy Commander Xu is very good at martial arts, far better than Chen Qianhu, and he is Wan'er's friend, don't you think he is more suitable?"

"Is he Wan'er's friend?" Zhu Zhi frowned and said, "Commander of more than 1,000 people, in Ningxia City, where there are only 15,000 people now, is an extremely powerful force, if my father arranges such a kid who doesn't understand the art of war and has an unknown origin, isn't he afraid of accidents?"

When King An heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At this time, Zhu Zhi saw the loosening in King An's expression, and immediately said: "What's more, we are going to start a war with Heifeng Village, if we rashly use such a newcomer who does not know soldiers, it may cause irreparable losses to the future war!"

When King An heard this, he couldn't help but change color, and the battle with Heifeng Village was indeed planned by him for a long time. He had already sent Zhu Zhi to accompany Qiu Yue to find out the enemy's situation, and Jiang Zongbing also knew about this! Originally, King An still wanted to wait for the information to come back, so he directly invited Jiang Zongbing to send troops, so that it would be as easy as Mount Tai pressing the top.

didn't want chaos on the border of the Great Wall, Jiang Zongbing led most of the border troops to the north, and only 10,000 border troops remained in Ningxia. In the case of overstretched troops, it is a bit risky to exterminate the Black Wind Village. If a newcomer like Zilong is enabled, something will really happen at that time, not only will Ningxia be shocked, but I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the imperial court!

Thinking of this, King An nodded helplessly, and said to Zhu Zhi: "Zhi'er, are you sure about the extermination of Black Wind Village this time?"

"The border army under General Qiu is the division of a hundred battles! Therefore, as long as the training is completed, the child will definitely level the Black Wind Village for his father!" Zhu Zhi heard this, and understood that King An had agreed, and immediately said excitedly.

"Okay, then it's up to you!" Wang An nodded in agreement.
