Chapter 271: Veteran (2)

Zhu Yunxiu really wanted Dongguan Bo He Rong to lead the troops again.

The reason is what Zhang Quan, the Marquis of Yongding, said.

Zhang Quan, a native of Dingyuan, Huaixi, joined the army when he was young. He once followed Fu Youde and Lan Yu pacified Yunnan. In the 23rd year of Hongwu, he was granted the title of marquis and hereditary commander.

He is a nobleman from Huaixi with a strong roots, but he is also the one with the lowest title among the nobles in Huaixi. In other words, in terms of qualifications, he belongs to the older generation of Huaixi military leaders.

"The emperor asked the fourth prince to train troops in Guangdong and Guangxi to prepare for the future conquest of Annan!" Zhang Quan said to Zhu Yunxi, "In the eyes of the old minister, there is something wrong with it!"

"You are an old corpse! Just say whatever you have!" Zhu Yunsheng said with a smile.

"The Fourth Prince is a Northerner!" Zhang Quan is over fifty years old, but he is still full of energy when speaking, as if he is ready to fight with others at any time. "The generals and officials he brings are also Northerner!"

"And the soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi are all Guangdong people, how can I lead this? Even among Guangdong people, they often fight with each other because of different language customs."

"It is said that people from Guangdong and Guangxi are gentle, so they have never seen their village fight! Often, just for a well or a long land, they can struggle with thousands of people who will never die!"

Zhang Quan spitted on the stars, "I have to die any year! Cantonese people get together, first ask where their hometown is and who their surname is! People in a place are good like brothers even if they are not in the same camp... One person can shout hundreds of people if he makes trouble!"

"It's not that the old minister exaggerated the words. People over there were walking on the street and seeing someone fighting. As long as they spoke with their hometown accent, they would definitely go up and help!"

"And many places may have been fighting for the mountains and forests and land for several lifetimes, and people in those places will never interact with each other!"

"Guangdong people value their hometown first, but they are clearly distinguished from each other! For example, Chaoyong is Chaoyong, Hakka is Hakka, Cantonese is Cantonese..."

"The Fourth Prince doesn't know the links. If he followed the previous method of commanding troops, he would definitely not be able to do so! He couldn't even understand the orders, so how to make the people below tie together!"

"So in the eyes of the old minister, you should choose a veteran general from Guangdong to lead the army, so that you can get the sincere support of the Guangdong people!"

Zhang Quan's voice was like a bell, "The people of Guangdong seem gentle, but in fact they are not afraid of death when fighting. They are all fathers, sons and brothers. But the premise of making them obedient is that the people who lead him must recognize them! If they do not recognize any princes, princes, lords, and lords, they recognize people!"

With the above words, Dongguan Bo He Rong was summoned.

In fact, this is not entirely true. Not only the soldiers in Guangdong are all Guangdong people. So there is another intention in this.

Although Zhang Quan is a martial artist, he is not a rude man who only knows how to kill and set fire.

He was actually saying to Zhu Yunxiu tentatively, "Your Majesty, if you ask the Fourth Prince to train troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, are you so relieved to hold the military power of the two provinces?"

"Old minister can't keep an eye on it alone. You'd better choose someone and stare at the fourth brother of the Zhu family together!"

As for why he chose Dongguan Bo He Rong, his hometown is from Dongguan, Guangdong.

From his father's generation, he first started his family in Heyuan, then guarded Huizhou, and later conquered Guangzhou... the real King of Lingnan.

Later, in order not to let the people in Guangdong and Guangxi suffer, He Rong's father He Zhen refused to follow the advice of Zhao Tuo, the king of Nanyue, and killed his subordinates who offered his own ideas and led the military and civilians of Guangdong and Guangxi to join the Ming Dynasty.

How high is his He family's prestige in Lingnan?

In the 14th year of Hongwu, Fu Youde conquered Yunnan. At that time, many soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi were unable to form an army because they were not able to speak. At that time, He Rong and He Zhen and his son were ordered to lead the soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi to serve as vanguards first and then to ensure logistics.

In the 16th year of Hongwu, the He family and his son returned to Guangdong and summoned more than 10,000 soldiers for the court to expedition.

Later, because Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia who was guarding Guangdong, was killed by Emperor Gao of Emperor Taizu, was furious and resentful in Guangdong. For the sake of Guangdong's public security, he sent the He family father and son back to Guangdong. The father and son summoned more than 3,000 powerful generals in one sentence...

Although the He family returned to Guangdong several times during the Hongwu period to summon old subordinates, there were some imperial wise men. After all, the He family was the King of Lingnan and there were too many old subordinates in Guangdong. For the Ming Dynasty, it was always a hidden danger. These armed forces scattered among the people must be taken for their own use.

But it also shows the He family's unique prestige in Lingnan from the side!

Moreover, the fact that such an exclusive group as the Ming Dynasty Warriors Group can accept the He family’s father and son is itself an affirmation of their abilities.

This generation of Dongguan Bo He Rong joined the army even though he was a young man. When he attacked Yunnan, he was still Cao Zhen's subordinate, and he also made real military achievements.

Moreover, this person is Lan Yu’s best friend in history!

The present time and space are even more so when Zhu Yunqiu was standing on Lan Yu and others' side as a member of the Baosanye Party during the road to the East Palace.

So, using him to assist Zhu Di in training troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, or not let Zhu Di grow bigger in Guangdong and Guangxi, this person is the most suitable person!

Moreover, using this person will be very beneficial in logistics.

"Men, He Rong..."

"No need for too much polite!" In the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yunxi looked at He Rong with a smile, turned to the turtle's shame and said, "Give him a seat to the old man!"

He Rong sat down with a smile and glanced at Zhang Quan, the Marquis of Yongding.

In fact, they have similar status in the founding military nobles of the Ming Dynasty. They used to be the ones that the older generation of military leaders took action.

The meaning of his look at Zhang Quan was, "What are you doing here every day?"

Zhang Quan gave him the look, "Don't you think you're dead?"

"Is Lian Po old enough to eat?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile on the dragon throne.

He Rong was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

Zhang Quan next to him whispered, "The Emperor is asking, can you still eat now... can you still lead troops to fight?"

"Who to hit?" He Rong immediately stood up and shouted, "The emperor said he would hit anyone, the old minister would hit someone!" As he said, he twitched for a moment, "Who to hit? Where is my Ming Dynasty enemy? Who dares to be an enemy of my Ming Dynasty now?"

"Hahahaha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled happily, and he liked the way these old military leaders were doing their best.

"Uncle Fourth is training troops in Guangdong and Guangxi, and I am ready to attack Annan!" Zhu Yunxiu did not hide it from him, "If you attack Annan, you must use the manpower and material resources of Guangdong and Guangxi!"

"Your Majesty, it's time to beat him!" He Rong immediately shouted, "More than 30 years ago, the old minister was still young... I heard from the adults in my family that Annan dared to send troops to annex the land of the Celestial Empire while our Celestial Empire was swaying, and secretly moved the border forward..."

"It should have been beaten up long ago! When I was attacking Yunnan, I thought of getting rid of him... What did the scholars in the court say? Great countries cannot rudely raise troops, and even the lives of life are in trouble..."

"So kind! Our Ming Dynasty is so kind!"

"Don't be excited first!" Zhu Yunxiu pressed his hand and smiled, "This time, I want to add you as the deputy general and work with the Marquis of Yongding to assist Prince Yongyi in integrating the troops of Guangdong and Guangxi, can it be?"

"I am willing to go!" He Rong shouted, "I can also write a letter to my hometown, summon the children of Cantonese to fight for the country!"

As he said that, the old man suddenly became murderous, "The old minister has never beaten the vanguard several times in his life. In the past, he was inevitably looked down upon by Ru Jingchuan Hou and others. This time, the old minister wants to lead the children of Lingnan as the vanguard and set foot on Ping'annan!"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "When can the old man leave?"

"at any time!"

"Okay!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "The old man is so proud of his ambition, and he is the general of Dingguo!" He also said, "Zhang Quan, the Marquis of Yongding!"

"Old minister is here!"

"For General Huwei, you two command the troops in Guangxi, Guangdong and serve under Prince Yongyi!"

The two veterans stood up at the same time, "Here!"
