Chapter 78: Laying Down Daning
Seeing the four people kneeling there without speaking, Zhu Houzhao put down the book in his hand, raised his head and looked at the four people, and asked with a smile: "What? Is this question difficult to answer?"
The four people were suddenly shocked. Now they are all worried about whether there are swordsmen buried around them. This is not because they have too much drama in their hearts, but because the people who come down here, unless they are here for awards, are basically here to come.
Troublesome. The four of us have nothing worthy of commendation, so they are naturally looking for trouble, not to mention that this is His Highness the Crown Prince.
However, the four of them also knew that if they didn't answer, they would not be able to pass today's test. Han Fu quickly bowed and said: "Go back to Your Highness, I'm afraid it's possible."
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Han Fu, nodded, and then said: "It's quite sincere. Since it is there, let's check it from here!" Zhu Houzhao looked at the three people, and then said: "Gather all the Guangning guards.
I want to take stock of the men and horses, and take a look at the soldiers of our Guangning Guard. Is this okay?"
Although there are some people who are short of pay and some are short of quota in this era, it is basically not that serious, and there will not be a situation of being short of half of the salary.
However, it is bitterly cold in Liaodong. It is very questionable how effective the soldiers here are, but some of them are useful. That is for sure. What Zhu Houzhao has to do is to select the ones who are worthy of use. As for the ones who cannot be used, then
There's no need for that. Those military households who farmed the land should simply be laid off and allocate the land to them so that they can farm.
Or to participate in the wool textile industry that is about to start. Although these people are not good at fighting, they are definitely good workers and they have good obedience, which is rare.
The four people looked embarrassed. This count? It's not like they have never performed martial arts before, but not so thoroughly, because once they are completely transferred, they will really be investigated.
"Your Highness, these soldiers are guarding various places. If they are all gathered together, once the barbarians invade, I'm afraid they won't be able to respond quickly!" Han Fu quickly took a step forward and said bravely: "If anything goes wrong,
So what should we do?”
Zhu Houzhao looked at Han Fu and said with a smile: "The barbarians are invading?" After saying this, Zhu Houzhao had no intention of continuing to speak. He just looked at Han Fu quietly and waited for him to speak. In fact, no matter whether it was
Both Zhu Houzhao and Han Fu knew very well that even if they were lent a few courages, they would not dare to attack the enemy.
People on the grasslands must be in panic now. Dayan Khan's defeat was so great that it completely reversed the situation.
What should be worried about on the grassland now is the Ming army's invasion. Among them, the most worrying thing is the three tribes of Wuhaliang. How dare they invade? This is not the way to seek death. Han Fu showed that he was trying to shirk. Han Fu was sweating like rain for a long time.
He immediately knelt down and said, "Your Highness, please forgive me!"
The other three people also knelt down: "Your Highness, I forgive you."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the three people and said slowly: "You are somewhat self-aware. I am afraid you have taken a lot of money these years, right?" Seeing the four people opening their mouths to explain, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "I have no intention of pursuing this crime, but this is a crime."
I have written it down for you first. This time I came to Liaodong to organize the army."
"If you cooperate properly, I will let the matter go by the wayside. But if you dare to violate the law, then don't blame the country for being ruthless."
The four people were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly saluted Zhu Houzhao and said, "I would like to thank His Highness the Crown Prince for his kindness."
This method of convicting first and then employing people is not new. It is often said that it is better to use the work than to use it before. However, the tricks are old and the key is to be effective. Zhu Houzhao does not want to pursue the past things, which are all specific environments and specific systems.
If the cause of this is really investigated, not a single one of the Ming Dynasty’s troops will be needed, they will all be punished and expelled from top to bottom.
"Let me tell you one more thing. This time I am going to Liaodong. The troops in Liaodong will teach the barbarians a lesson, and I will conquer Daning." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to signal the four of them to get up, and then continued.
During the Yuan Dynasty, Daning was Dading County, the seat of Daning Road, and was subordinate to Liaoyang Province. In the 13th year of Hongwu, it became Daning Prefecture, under the Chief Secretary of Peking, and was later abolished. In August of the 20th year of Hongwu, Daning Guard was established.
In September of the same year, the Daning left-back, Daning right-back, and Daning center-back were assigned. Later, the Daning avant-garde and Daning defender were assigned. In April of the 28th year of Hongwu's reign, the Daning left-back, Daning right-back, and Daning center-back were assigned.
The Ning defenders were changed to Yingzhou left defenders, Yingzhou right defenders, and Yingzhou center defenders.
In February of the first year of Yongle, the Daning Central Guard and the Daning Front Guard were moved to the capital and directly under the control of the rear army governor's office.
The generals in Liaodong naturally knew about Daning, and also knew that it was Wuha Liang's place. They never expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would actually come for Daning. The four of them looked at each other in silence for a while.
Knowing what to say, after being shocked, the four of them had a thought in their hearts, that is, can they beat it?
It’s not their fault. Ming Dynasty’s defense has been passable over the years, but it’s not aggressive enough. If it really hits them, is it okay?
However, Zhu Houzhao knew that if he implemented the grassland strategy and wanted to develop woolen textiles, Daning must be in the hands of the Ming Dynasty. Daning was actually Ningcheng County in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia in later generations. Building a big city here would not only be able to control the
Moving the front line of the grassland forward can protect the stability of other important towns in Liaodong, and at the same time, it can also give wool textiles a stable base on the grassland.
Such a geographical location meant that Daning must be captured, and there was no room for negotiation. As for whether it could be captured, Zhu Houzhao had no doubts, because in Zhu Houzhao's view, there was no difficulty.
"You guys work hard. If you make merit this time, not only will you be exempted from the previous responsibilities, but I will also be generous with rewards. You all should know at the Capital Martial Arts Academy that if you make meritorious service, I can let your descendants enter the martial arts academy." Zhu Houzhao.
Draw a big cake for them: "When the time comes, we can go further. Although we are guarding the country in Liaodong, Liaodong is also a bitter and cold place after all."
Although the martial arts academy has been expanding its enrollment in the past two years, most of them are the children of nobles and relatives, and a small number of junior officers are mainly from the Black Dragon Army.
Of course, this is not possible. Martial arts schools must be spread. Zhu Houzhao even had the idea of establishing local martial arts lecture halls. This time, it can also be implemented in Liaodong. Zhu Houzhao had many ideas, but they have never been properly implemented before.
