Chapter 181 Various Warlords
Hou Fangyu now manages the Lifanyuan. Although the Duke of Qian was a subordinate of the court, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty in the past, it also belonged to the Lifanyuan.
When everyone was presenting the memorial just now, Hou Fangyu stayed honestly beside him.
Before His Royal Highness went to war, he already understood His Royal Highness's habits. So when His Royal Highness asked about this, this guy came out and won His Royal Highness's approval.
Some of the ministers around were so angry that they felt so angry that this kid had already understood, why didn’t he know how to make us angry?
It's normal to say that. Who can tell the truth about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's thoughts?
If you say something that helps everyone, you will naturally win a lot of money. If you think about it wrong, it will be a crime of beheading. No one is willing to take this matter into themselves unless there is a problem with his mind.
Zhu Cilang was still very relieved about the Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo. Among all the warlords, this guy's performance has always been extremely advanced. This time the court won such a great victory, and Mu Tianbo was coming to congratulate him, which is reasonable.
Zhu Cilang had been blocking this guy before because the court was not stable at that time, and Mu Tianbo wanted to stabilize the three southwestern provinces for the court. Now the court is victorious, so if you want to come, come!
In addition to Mu Tianbo himself, he also brought his eldest son Mu Xianliang, which was very obvious. He hoped that his eldest son could stay in Nanjing to serve. On the one hand, it was a matter of protons, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find a way out for his son.
"Where is the Zheng family and Zuo Liangyu from Fujian?"
Some things cannot be heard only by good things, but also by looking at the bad things. These two families have always been outside the court.
Although Zheng Zhilong expressed his surrender, this guy has always refused to let the court ask him to the capital. Now that the Crown Prince is coming south, let's see if the other party has any reasons.
Both of these families are strong warlords. If you calculate it, both families can take out more than 200,000 troops.
No wonder His Highness the Crown Prince is so afraid of them. If they suddenly rebel during the Northern Expedition, it would be a disaster for the entire court.
"When you say to the Crown Prince, the Fujian Navy Admiral Zheng Zhilong reported that because the pirates in Fujian are not clear and he is not in good health, he is unable to come to Nanjing for the time being, but his eldest son Zheng Sen is sent to pay tribute."
After a war, there was indeed some change. In the past, even his son didn't want to be sent. Now he probably didn't know the situation of the court, so he sent his son to explore the truth and reality.
He is also an old fox, but it has also changed.
Zheng Zhilong and Mu Tianbo are naturally not good, but if compared with Zuo Liangyu, this is already very good.
In addition to Zheng Zhilong's eldest son, some navy troops were also sent north to help the court wipe out the Qing army.
This also shows his attitude, and Zhu Cilang will not care about it for the time being, not to mention that the court is indeed lacking naval masters now.
Speaking of Zuo Liangyu, no one of the court officials stood up. The court had been out for a long time. Even if they had to fight back and forth, they should have come back now.
But Zuo Liangyu still had no news coming back. It would be fine if he didn't come to congratulate him, and he wouldn't send his son.
If we calculate according to the distance, Zuo Liangyu is now stationed in Wuchang, and he should be the first to receive the imperial edict, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has returned, and Zuo Liangyu's reply has not come back.
After understanding all this, Zhu Cilang had nothing to be sad about. What should come is coming after all. Originally, Zuo Liangyu and the court were not very good. If there was a huge change now, it would be a real ghost.
"Before I left, a group of troops in Nanjing had just entered training. Now, the training should be completed. What are the results?"
Zhu Ciyang did not continue to ask Zuo Liangyu about it, but instead turned the topic to the army around Nanjing City. The people below all looked at each other. What does Your Highness mean? Will you immediately conquer Zuo Liangyu after winning the victory in the north?
Since Zhu Ciying's Northern Expedition, Ye Yun has not been idle in Nanjing. On the one hand, he continued to recruit soldiers and on the other hand, he began to train soldiers himself. Anyway, his mission is to look at Nanjing City. Isn't these military camps the most important thing in Nanjing City?
With Ye Yun's efforts, an infantry brigade has now completed training.
"If you go back to His Highness, after a period of selection, there will be about 30,000 infantry brigade available. The combat effectiveness of these people is comparable to that of the time when Beizhi attacked Chuzhou before."
After several military exercises, Ye Yun also found out the combat effectiveness of these people.
Compared with Li Guodong's elite, these people are indeed far behind, but they are definitely much stronger than the army led by Huang Degong.
Zhu Cixuan started to think about it at this time that the army he had not used much.
The army under Hu Qiang, Li Guodong and Ye Yun should be considered the strongest combat power, and it is also considered the first-class army under Zhu Cixuan.
The two of them were in charge of 40,000 people, which totaled 80,000 people, but now 40,000 people are stationed in Qufu and 40,000 people are stationed in Nanjing, so these people cannot be moved.
As for Li Guodong's men, they had just come down from the battlefield. Although the elite troops did not lose, they had too many recruits and had to give them some training time. If they were used frequently, it would be detrimental to this army.
The 30,000 troops in Gao Jie's hands were also stationed in Qufu, and his combat effectiveness was acceptable, but he could not be used for the time being.
In addition to some of the troops in the training camp, the army equipped with muskets now has as many as 200,000, but the first-class army only has 100,000 people.
The rest of the people have never been to the battlefield and have not been baptized by the battlefield, so they cannot judge the combat effectiveness of these people. They can only be counted as second-class troops.
In addition, Zhu Cilang is in his hands with some old troops from the Ming Dynasty. These people can guard the cities and manage the people. If they want to fight hard on the battlefield, they may not have much effect.
It seems that there are too few people. I used to think that there are many people in my hands. Now, most of them are stationed everywhere, which is useful. However, it is already quite good to be able to train 200,000 gun-carrying troops in such a short time.
