This kind of thing is indispensable. In fact, if it weren't for the military border town and too many officers involved, Zhu Houzhao wouldn't bother at all and just take action. He would directly arrest corruption, kill people, and ransack homes.

Does it smell good? Not only does it increase your prestige, but you can also get more money. Why not?

But that's not possible now. Once he causes a big case in Liaodong, everyone will be in danger, even generals everywhere will be in danger. This mistake cannot be made.

"With this money, plus the proceeds from the house confiscation, the initial investment should be enough." Zhu Houzhao is not a greedy person. When the matter has reached this point, it has basically come to an end, and the rest should be invested in new things.

We have gone inside. For example, building the Liaodong arsenal, building the military system of Liaodong, and punishing these officers are not part of the plan for this trip.

Because of Liu Jin's guarantee and the fact that Zhu Houzhao had no intention of punishing anyone, the Liaodong generals also cooperated and things went very quickly.

First, the soldiers of Guangning Guard gathered for inspection, then conducted an inventory, eliminated the old, weak, sick, and disabled, re-registered the army, and reorganized it. During this process, Zhu Houzhao also dealt with some generals, but basically

They were all demoted and fined, and there were no direct killings or dismissal and going home, so the voice of opposition was much smaller.

After spending half a month, Zhu Houzhao finally finished the Guangning Guards. At this time, the people Zhu Houzhao and others finally arrived, they were his 10,000 Black Dragon Guards.

After these ten thousand Black Dragon Guards arrived in Liaodong, the situation in Liaodong was completely different. Everyone realized one thing, that is, His Highness the Crown Prince was not kidding. There was really going to be a war, and he was really going to fight.

Ha Liang, the general of Liaodong, didn't know what it was like in his heart. He was afraid of defeat, but at the same time he was attracted by his military exploits.

His Royal Highness has won many battles. Victory means capture and countless military exploits. This is really attractive to generals.

There are still things about Liaodong that satisfy Zhu Houzhao, such as the quality of the generals. These people can still fight. Although the quality is uneven, they still have these basic qualities when mounting a horse to fight. After all, this is the border and it is a real war.

, the unqualified ones would have been eliminated long ago, or simply died in the battle.

What Zhu Houzhao didn't expect was that Wang Shouren actually came. This guy did not return to Beijing, but followed the Black Dragon Guard all the way to Liaodong.

If the Black Dragon Guards want to come to Liaodong, they will naturally not come from inside the Great Wall, but will rush all the way from the grasslands outside the Great Wall.

Now that Wang Shouren is here, Zhu Houzhao naturally wants to meet him. When he sees Wang Shouren walking in, Zhu Houzhao originally wanted to give Wang Shouren a look, but when he saw Wang Shouren's appearance, Zhu Houzhao softened his heart. Although Wang Shouren before was also

He is a martial artist, but he still looks like a gentle and elegant scholar.

But at this time, Wang Shouren's face was red, and some places were torn by the wind. His whole body looked much rougher, and it was obvious that he had suffered a lot on the grassland.

"I asked you to go back to Beijing, why bother to come to Liaodong and suffer." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to interrupt Wang Shouren's salute, and said with some annoyance, but he was more distressed than blamed.

Wang Shouren smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went to Liaodong in person. There are big things to do. How can I return to the capital? Besides, if I return to the capital, others will think that I am the Crown Prince who stayed in the capital to control the capital camp. This is not right.

OK. I think that by coming to Liaodong, I can help His Highness somewhat, right? I am still young, and I want to do more for the Ming Dynasty and the Crown Prince."

Although Wang Shouren said this, Zhu Houzhao also knew that Wang Shouren was looking for punishment. Of course, he really wanted to help him.

First, look for punishment. Wang Shouren's limelight is really too great. The previous surprise attack on Fengzhou Beach was better because he was commanding it. However, this time he defeated Dayan Khan in northern Xinjiang. This was a great achievement. Wang Shouren was directly responsible for the military merits of the dynasty.

First of all, this must be a heavy reward, otherwise it will appear that the court is treating its meritorious officials harshly, and that His Majesty is mean and ungrateful.

But Wang Shouren is not very old, and he is the prince's son. After all, he still has concerns. If a young man holds a high position, what will happen in the future?

Besides, there is still his father in the court, who is about to join the cabinet. If he also gets up, or how to serve as a staff member, how will his father handle himself? This has to avoid suspicion, but his father is in his prime.

If you have unfulfilled ambitions, you can't go home due to illness, right? So Wang Shouren was ready to hand over some excuses and reduce his credit.

So Wang Shouren went directly to Liaodong. First of all, he appeared to be young, unstable, and unworthy of great use.

Secondly, he also made a mistake. Since he made a mistake, he will naturally be punished, which can offset part of the credit of Northern Xinjiang this time. There are many people who did this in history, such as Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty.

That is the best at this trick, and Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan who was the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, is also a master of this trick.

Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren, smiled bitterly and shook his head. This kind of thing was about a tacit understanding between king and minister, and Zhu Houzhao would naturally not expose it.

"Okay!" Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to say with a little helplessness: "In that case, then you can stay!"

Does Zhu Houzhao want Wang Shouren to come over? Of course he does, because Wang Shouren is his most capable subordinate. In addition, Wang Shouren has been responsible for training the Black Dragon Army and eliminating the Beijing camp in recent years. If such a talent comes to Liaodong, he will be trained

He no longer has to worry about the affairs of the New Army. How could Zhu Houzhao not like Wang Shouren's arrival?

"I thank you, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren quickly bowed and saluted, looking very satisfied as if he was enjoying the meal.

Looking at Wang Shouren's appearance, Zhu Houzhao immediately laughed, shook his head and said, "Now that you are here, let's get to work! I am going to change the Guangning Guard to recruit soldiers first. I have selected some soldiers these days, probably only two.

There are more than 10,000 people, but these people are not enough. We need to recruit new ones, expand them, and retrain them. These things can be left to you."

Today's Liaodong is not the Liaodong of the late Ming Dynasty. In this era, Liaodong was relatively peaceful. The three guards of Wuhaliang had low combat effectiveness and were basically unable to defeat them.

At this time, most of the Jurchen tribes were still staying in the woods. Even those who came out did not dare to go against the Ming Dynasty. They did make a fuss once during the Chenghua period, but they were slaughtered by Wang Zhi and his men. It is estimated that they have not yet
