Although the prince felt that his father was no longer a human being, the affairs in Guizhou were of great importance and he would not trust anyone else to do it, so he finally agreed.
At this time, Zhu Zhen was busy in Guangdong...
Boss Zhu changed coaches before the battle, clearly conveying his determination to rectify Guangdong instead of attacking Yunnan.
Under He Zhen's careful guidance, the local tycoons of Guangdong also deeply understood the emperor's determination. Even Yongjiahou, who controlled hundreds of thousands of troops, could be replaced by the emperor at his request. Wouldn't he be able to deal with local snakes like them without batting an eyelid?
At this time, the materials they explained finally no longer appeared on the surface, but began to touch the depths of their souls and explain the real issues.
However, the King of Chu cannot take care of them for the time being. The most important thing now is to stabilize the army in Guangdong and Guangxi. Especially Zhu Liangzu's old army, if they are not controlled in time, big trouble will occur.
Fortunately, the two generals sent by the old man were very capable. Needless to say, Wang Bi was loyal and capable, and had a charming personality. He was best at winning people's hearts.
Lan Yu's performance was far beyond Lao Liu's expectations. The two had dealt with each other several times before. Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, relying on his seniority and ability, never treated him politely. He also went his own way, except for
The prince doesn't listen to anyone, and his unruly behavior makes people very nervous.
Unexpectedly, during this meeting, he seemed to be a different person. He was extremely respectful to Lao Liu, obeyed his instructions, and followed orders and prohibitions to the letter.
In Lan Yu's words, we regard His Highness as a relative in our hearts. I will do whatever you ask me to do, and I will do whatever it takes to live through fire and water!
Lao Liu was originally worried that he was too murderous and his attacks were too dark, which would not be conducive to appeasing the soldiers. However, Lan Yu actually followed Lao Liu's instructions and did not kill indiscriminately. He also remained magnanimous to those officers who disobeyed him, and was finally surprised.
Zhu Liangzu's old troops were controlled without any danger.
This made Lao Liu look at Lan Yu with admiration, and he finally understood that he would definitely be more than a simple martial artist if he could rival the champion in the future.
Lao Liu originally didn't want to have anything to do with Lan Yu. After all, the future "Lanyu Case" would be more tragic than the Hu Weiyong case, and it could be called the biggest case in Hongwu.
In the "Blue Prison", more than 20,000 people, ranging from princes to princes, were killed due to Lan Yu's implication. The invincible army of the Ming Dynasty was able to survive a hundred battles, but was brought down by the case of Lan Yu.
Even if Lao Liu was a prince, he would feel frightened when he thought about the lethality of this thing.
But then I thought about it, the person who tied the bell must be tied to the bell. If you want to maintain the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, you must avoid the Lan Yu case. If you want to avoid the Lan Yu case, the best way is not to let Lan Yu commit the crime...
So you can't push people away, not to mention that a general like Lan Yu who is awesome is a God-given talent. Build a good relationship with him and trick him into expanding overseas territories in the future, and never return to the country.
, wouldn’t there be no Blue Jade case?
Thinking about it this way, Lao Liu finally eliminated his resistance to Lan Yu, and they soon became inseparable and as close as one family.
In the end, with the full assistance of Wang Bi and Lan Yu, His Royal Highness the King of Chu successfully stabilized the armies of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Of course, it was not only the three of them who contributed, but also because Boss Zhu’s prestige in the army was too high. Once the soldiers heard that it was his order, they did not dare to mess around even if they were unhappy. Especially the 100,000-strong Southern Army.
It is even less likely that the guest troops from the north would cause trouble for Zhu Liangzu.
Even Zhu Liangzu's old army, after losing its senior officers, had great mood swings and almost caused trouble several times, but in the end they did not go overboard and went to the step of rebellion. Only Zhu Zhen and the others had time to send out capable officers to use both kindness and power.
Gather people's hearts and put them back into the hands of the imperial court.
With the full support of the army, Lao Liu was absolutely sure of his word in Guangdong, and no one dared to disobey his orders.
Through high-intensity anti-gang and anti-evil operations, he eliminated a large number of evil gentry, bullies, and local gangsters, which greatly calmed the public's anger, won the people's support, and let the people of Guangdong know for the first time that the government could make decisions for them.
For a time, the public security on the ground in Guangdong improved rapidly. The number of daily criminal cases in various places dropped sharply. The behavior of bullying and dominating the market and oppressing the people was almost eliminated. The people "began to realize that there is happiness in life."
But when Lin Zhongmo and Daotong asked for instructions whether the crackdown could be brought to an end, Zhu Zhen said categorically: "No, the Guangdong government's previous sense of presence was too weak. It had to maintain a high-pressure situation for several years to change the minds of the gentry and the common people.
Turn it around - the real big boss in Guangdong is the imperial court, not the local tycoons who remain silent in front of the imperial court!"
"Yes." The two of them naturally followed Lao Liuyan's advice, but Dao Tong still reminded him: "It's just that after this period of severe crackdown, the old cases have basically been settled, and almost no one will commit crimes against his will. I'm afraid they won't do it again.
It has the same momentum as before.”
"There is no momentum to build, and there are other things to do without cases!" Zhu Zhen said solemnly: "The next New Deal requires a good environment, which can greatly reduce resistance for us. Do you understand?"
"Understood." The two men nodded quickly, and Lin Zhongmo asked again: "Your Highness, what aspects will be involved in the new policy?"
"In all aspects, clearing the land, compiling a fish scale atlas; compiling households, compiling yellow books, and implementing the Lijia system...Everything is not easy, but only by overcoming these difficulties can the chronic diseases of Guangdong be completely solved.
!" Zhu Zhen believed that the two of them were no longer unfamiliar with these policies, but he still decided to break it down and talk to them about it.
But at this time, a knock on the door interrupted the meeting, and Dun Duo's voice sounded:
"Your Highness, eight hundred miles is urgent."
Hearing these five words, the three of them were a little confused. Daotong laughed at himself and said: "It's really scary for Ba Baili to hurry up these days."
"Indeed, I feel like my heart skipped a beat." Lin Zhongmo also nodded with a wry smile.
"Bring it in." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice. Although he was not afraid of the 800-mile rush, he also didn't want to cause any trouble.
Deng Duo took the card box sent from the capital into his study, opened the seal, and took out the letter inside.
"It's a letter from eldest brother." Zhu Zhen quickly took it, tore open the seal and took a look, then he realized what was going on. He smiled bitterly and handed it to the two people for circulation and said: "My old man regards me as a firefighter."
After Lin Zhongmo and Daotong read it, although they didn't want His Highness to leave at this time, they couldn't disobey the sacred order and it was useless to say anything. They could only express their reluctance.
"I don't want to leave at this time. The stage has just been set up here and I'm about to go on stage to sing." Zhu Zhen sighed: "But my arms can't hold my thighs, and my son can't hold me. I have to go when I have to."
"Yes, it's not easy, Your Highness." The two of them nodded quickly.
"But fortunately, I have already finished all the hard bones for you." Zhu Zhen smiled again and said: "I will say hello to He Zhen and Lan Yu later. As long as you do it step by step, there will be no problem."
