Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 49 Zhu Cihong's Military Power
Wu Xiaosan thought that Zhu Cihong was too happy and couldn't believe it, so he knelt on the ground and raised his head and said to Zhu Cihong, "Your Highness, it is absolutely true, you have obtained the whole territory of Shandong, as well as Hejian Mansion in Beizhili, congratulations Your Highness, Your Highness Congratulations."

"Stand up and go out." Zhu Cihong was upset, so he sent Wu Xiaosan out.

"Go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the reward of 50 taels of silver." Before Wu Xiaosan left, Zhu Cihong did not forget to reward him with some silver.

These people are no better than those summoned by Zhu Cihong's system. They are loyal and will not betray no matter what. They have emotions and desires, family relatives, and too many constraints, so Zhu Cihong can only choose to feed them with money in exchange for loyalty.

This is not a way to quench thirst by drinking poison. In history, in troubled times, that was not the case with the superiors. It was the case in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties.

After all, everyone is a person of flesh and blood, even if they work for the royal family, they can't just rely on honors.

"What is there to be unhappy about, the crown prince? Zhou Yuantong and the others are just a few dozen people, and they took Shandong's military power into our hands without any effort. Isn't this a great joy?"

Liu Bao could hear the sadness in Zhu Cihong's tone, so he asked suspiciously.

"You have been following me for many years. Don't you know what the emperor cares about most?" Zhu Cixiang asked Liu Bao.

"The crown prince thinks he is disloyal? But such a capable person will certainly not only know allegiance like a fool like a servant, and know nothing else."

Liu Bao has read many books and heard many stories. He knows that such a capable person will never lose his opinion because of blind loyalty.

Just like Han Xin and Xiao He of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Zhuge Liang and Jiang Wei of Emperor Zhaolie, good generals naturally have their own opinions when they are outside, and they will make decisive decisions without rigidly implementing the leader's orders.

Zhu Cixiang knew that what Liu Bao said made sense, but he always felt that Zhou Yuantong was a person who was difficult for him to control. He didn't know if he was used to dispatching system soldiers.

He always feels that all his subjects should obey all his orders unconditionally, no matter whether he wants them to go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, in short, they must carry on unconditionally and without any discount.

For a moment, Zhu Cixiang even wanted to order someone to go to Shandong, bring Zhou Yuantong over, and then accuse him, but in the end, Zhu Cixiang decided to forget it.

"Forget it, forget it, I shouldn't be in a bad mood for this guy." Zhu Cihong waved his hand, deciding to forget about Zhou Yuantong's matter this time and not pursue it any further.

"This is good news. Of course the prince should be happy and in a good mood. Now that Zhang Yong and the others have [-] rebels, we can be regarded as capable of wrestling with King Fu."

Liu Bao didn't understand military affairs, and thought that fighting was a competition of numbers. Now they had [-] rebels directly commanded by Zhang Yong, and they could use the titles of King Ji and Prince to command the entire Shandong rebels.

"Where, it's still very early." Zhu Cihong poured a basin of cold water on Liu Bao, Liu Bao didn't understand military affairs, how could he not understand.

The rebel army, what is called the rebel army, is just ordinary people who fight bravely with rudimentary weapons and tattered equipment.

Although they have a large number of people, they are just like the Yellow Turban Uprising in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although they have a large number of people and a great momentum, they have no combat effectiveness.

At the beginning, there were millions of Yellow Turbans, but they were killed by Cao Cao, Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, and state herdsmen and governors from all over the country like chopping melons and vegetables.

Cao Cao was even able to defeat the millions of Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou with tens of thousands of people, and even arrested them all, and recruited them to become his own troops.

"The rebels can at best wave their flags and shout. They have neither weapons nor armor, nor have they received military training. Even warlords like Gao Jie, who are like rogue bandits, can easily defeat them."

Zhu Cihong is very disdainful of the rebels, but it is a pity that the biggest military force in his hands now is these people.

Hearing what Zhu Cihong said, Liu Bao suddenly felt that the good situation was over. He panicked and asked Zhu Cihong, "Prince, in that case, who are the soldiers we can rely on? Could it be that we can't compare with King Fu?" Are you together?"

"No." Zhu Cihong slammed the table and said.

"We have Shi Kefa in the east, Liu Zeqing in the north, Zuo Mengeng in the west, and Zheng Zhilong in the south. These four are our real helpers."

These people have very strong military power, and Zuo Menggeng and Zheng Zhilong have not clearly turned to King Fu. They can indeed serve as Zhu Cihong's military supporters.

Liu Bao thought to himself that except for one Shi Kefa, all of these people are military generals, and each of them is self-respecting in the local area, how can they be allowed to come to support Zhu Cihong.

Suddenly, Liu Bao thought of a good idea, so he said, "Prince, let's bribe them with gold and silver to support you, so that we can compete with King Fu in an instant."

"Haha." Zhu Cihong looked at Liu Bao, thinking that this little eunuch was always not smart.

Liu Bao thought that he had come up with some kind of ingenious plan, which made Zhu Cihong feel refreshed, and he could try it, but Zhu Cihong said.

"Do you think these warlords who support their own troops and cause trouble for one side will be short of gold and silver? The local rich are like their big fat pigs. They can kill them at any time if they want to eat them. How can they be short of my gold and silver?" .”

"Then what should we do?" Liu Bao said to Zhu Cihong aggrievedly.

Zhu Cixiang clenched his fists, put them on the table, and said, "Only force, only if I have strong force, will they be afraid of me, then obey me, fight for me, and denounce King Fu for me."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Cihong then ordered Liu Baodao, "Grind ink for me immediately, and I will write a letter to ask Zhang Yong to lead troops to Guide Mansion to recover this place, and then I can justifiably force King Fu to make him a general." .”

"At this time, only people in the world can see my military power. King Fu and the four towns in Jiangbei, the soldiers and civilians in the world dare not go north to regain lost ground, only I dare."

Just after Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the long-lost system suddenly appeared again.

"Trigger a short-term task, capture the Guide Mansion within a month, reward [-] points, and draw a low-level lottery once."

"Great." Zhu Cixiang finally came to the system.

After completing this task, he will be able to expand the strength of his direct troops again. If he can have 3000 people in Jinling City, he will dare to lead troops to attack Fu Wang's mansion, drag him out and kill him, and then directly enthroned himself.
