Bright Spring

Besides, Zhu Gaoxu had never expected Wei Da's daughter... He really believed that as a mother, Princess Xu, it would be impossible for her to find a too beautiful daughter-in-law for herself!

The marriage at this time was also wonderful. The man and woman got married without even meeting each other.But Zhu Gaoxu doesn't care anymore, he doesn't want to challenge his parents' rights in this area for this kind of thing.

After all, in the previous life, he had the right to choose, but he had to have the strength to choose, and in the end, he would choose a few hands of Tufeiyuan who were the most suitable for him... Just like his ex-girlfriend was a little bit pretty, why would he choose when something happened? Don't pick the rich, have to pick him?

After lunch, King Yan went straight to the front hall.After Zhu Gaoxu waited for Princess Xu's advice, he also left and went home, preparing for the itinerary.

……

The northern army was short of soldiers, and King Yan agreed to give Zhu Gaoxu the remaining cavalry from the left guard, but when Zhu Gaoxu took over, there were less than [-] horses.The generals in the Yan King's guard took away less than half of the soldiers under various names.

Anyway, there were not many people in total, Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about it, and after three days, he gathered the people and went to Yongpingwei.

Starting from Beiping, according to the direction and distance estimation, Zhu Gaoxu guessed that Yongping Mansion was probably near Qinhuangdao.Qinhuangdao in later generations can be regarded as a developed area, but it is not yet.

This place was originally called Lulong Town, and it has been a military base since ancient times. The Great Wall is controlled in the north, and the Liaoxi Corridor is controlled in the east.When there is a war in Hebei, it is basically necessary to smash the ground of Yongping Mansion.

After entering the city, Zhu Gaoxu looked at the low, dilapidated houses and the dusty streets, and he knew that this place was not engaged in economy, but only in military affairs.The most luxurious buildings in the city are the four towers.

Yongping City is both a prefectural city and an acropolis, and the prefectural government and guard commanders are all built in the city.Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Gaoxu arrived in Yongping City, the officials of the government government held a banquet to welcome him.

Zhu Gaoxu took Wei Da and others to the banquet, and confirmed his authority over the military and politics at the wine table.At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the status of military officers was higher than that of civilian officials, and Zhu Gaoxu was the son of King Yan, so there was almost no suspense about who was the boss here.

More than a thousand riders who accompanied him that night first stationed near the guard command office, including the guards of the county prince's mansion and the [-] riders given to him by King Yan.Early the next morning, Zhu Gaoxu got up and summoned his generals to start working.

Zhu Gaoxu first reorganized the troops in his hands. The method was very simple: many cavalry generals had lost many people in the battle under Zhending City, and some were transferred away, so there were vacancies for generals; For one hundred households, the general flag is raised for trial one hundred households, and so on to fill the vacancies.The small banners and corps leaders are elected by the hundred households and the general banner to report.

Wang Bin served as a cavalry of thousands of households, commanding eight hundred cavalry in the second charge.Chen Dachui was directly promoted to Hundred Households of the Honor Guard, and temporarily commanded Zhu Gaoxu's guard of more than [-] riders. Anyway, the personal guards only need to follow the leader, and don't need much talent. Loyalty is the most important thing.

After Zhu Gaoxu's deployment, he asked Professor Hou Haideng to make a list of names and review the generals.After working hard, another day passed, and the time has come to Youshi.He ordered the group to break up and each of them rested.

That night Zhu Gaoxu lived in the Commander's Office of the Guard.

This yamen is so dilapidated that it hasn't been renovated for more than ten or twenty years, and even the red paint on the wooden pillars has long lost any redness, and it is peeling off and mottled.

The whole yard is filled with a strange and complex smell, including the smell of fermented sweat, mold, soot, horse manure... all kinds of smells are mixed together, which is very rich.

In the inner house where Zhu Gaoxu lived, the bed was as hard as a rock, and under the dim light, there were dark dirt everywhere in the room.He didn't fall asleep in a daze, turned over a few times, then put on his clothes and got up.

After wandering around the yard for a while, he wanted to go to the second hall, but when he reached the gate, he suddenly heard someone talking outside.

A man's voice said: "Sledgehammer... oh, now I have to be called Chen Baihu, you can be promoted so fast, how did you become a hundred households all of a sudden!?"

Chen Dachui's voice said: "Didn't you see me drooling after eating meat?"

Then there was a low-pitched laugh for no apparent reason.

Chen Dachui said again: "For the sake of old brothers, don't blame me for not teaching you. We have already taken the opportunity to be soldiers under the king of the county. In this war, there are many opportunities to make meritorious service and get promoted. , I’m afraid that if we don’t fight! If you fight, you will die, and if you die, you will have nothing. If you are afraid of death, you can only stare blankly. It’s fate!”

He paused for a while, muttering something next to him, and he continued: "When King Yan arrives in the capital, a large number of people above will leave, not to mention the title of Marquis and Prime Minister, there will be a lot of good seats for glory and wealth, it depends on everyone Who has the ability, hehe..."

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu felt that what Chen Dachui said was very reasonable!There are so many soldiers, why is he the first to send the horse at the critical moment?This is not accidental, it just corresponds to the saying: Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

This guy Chen Dachui looks simple, but his mind is indeed more flexible than the other pawns, and he has sharp eyesight.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't intend to go out, and went back to the bedroom.He sat by the bed for a while, thinking about what Chen Dachui said just now, and Zhu Gaoxu thought more: Not everyone is unwilling to engage in civil war, and there is a kind of people who are very happy, that is, those who have not yet achieved their goals; If you don't fight a civil war, you won't be able to vacate your position. Can you get through with qualifications alone?

As long as the king of Yan succeeds, Zhu Gaoxu himself can be promoted to the prince... The prince and the county king are both kings. At first glance, the difference is only the difference between one word king and two words king, but in fact there is a huge difference!Take a look at the size, wealth, and number of people in Prince Yan's mansion now; then look at Zhu Gaoxu's own county mansion, the difference is very obvious.

In his previous life, Zhu Gaoxu was just a common man, and he still owed a lot of debts; but if he were a prince, he would be under one person and above tens of thousands, rich and honored, respected and worshipped, and enjoying the professional services of countless people. Jade can't enjoy it...

If he could become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Gaoxu would be very satisfied!

But, can you really enjoy it with peace of mind?A shadow with no recollection of its appearance was like a nightmare, entwining his bone marrow like a poisonous snake in his heart.

"A few gags, a few gags..." There was a toothache sound from the bed board, and after Zhu Gaoxu lay down, he turned over several times in a row.

A ray of moonlight shone on his face, the color was blue and white, like a grimace.At this time, the window was opened very high and small, and the dim light in the room came in from that window.

Zhu Gaoxu weighed it over and over again: If the king of Yan can succeed here, the king of Yan himself will be wronged. He also said that he would replace the eldest son and let me be the heir for free. I don't believe it at all!

As long as you can be a prince with peace of mind, will it work?

"A few..." He turned over again, suddenly pondering: In history, Zhu Gaoxu rebelled with the King of Yan, so how to raise troops and routines can be seen?Why was it that when he rebelled later, he was easily pressed to death by a boy who had just ascended the throne, and he didn't stir up any prodigal son?The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty rebelled several times, but only Zhu Di caused a big wave. The rebellion of the second son of King Yan really didn't happen.

Zhu Gaoxu had to think of a question: Has Zhu Gaoxu turned his back on him in history?

The more he thinks about it, the colder his heart becomes. If he doesn't rebel, he will most likely be rebelled!

The more Zhu Gaoxu thought about this, the more he couldn't fall asleep, and he hardly closed his eyes all night.By the next morning, it was as if sand had entered the eyes, and the left and right were uncomfortable.

He was in no mood, took a willow branch from the bucket, chewed it in his mouth, and brushed his teeth.In fact, there is already a toothbrush at this time, dipped in green salt to brush your teeth.

The generals arrived in the lobby one after another, and Zhu Gaoxu sat in the public seat and looked at them, as if inspecting his own strength.

No matter what kind of routine you want to use to protect yourself, you must first have strength.Zhu Gaoxu cursed in his heart, good nephew, wanting to kill me can make you so relaxed and happy?Let's peel off the skin first!

Chapter 55 Who is the fool

The soldiers of Yongpingwei have been transferred by King Yan, and there are only more than [-] guards left in total.

Zhu Gaoxu retreated to the signing room, flipping through the messy files, which were all things Jin Zhong gave him before leaving, and asking the generals to think of a way.

At this moment, Liu Ying, a hundred households captured in Xiong County, said: "The general has some ideas, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?"

"It's okay for Liu Baihu to say it." Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and said.

Liu Ying clasped his fists and said, "Military households in the local guards are usually divided into guards and farms, and there are regular rotations. There is a system; these years, the guards have a rigid system, and no one will change the rules before the rotation period. The king of Yan raised his army not long ago, and everything was in a hurry, it may be that the garrison troops were transferred away, and the military households who are farming in various places should still be there."

"Oh!" Suddenly, Zhu Gaoxu slapped his forehead and said, "If Liu Baihu hadn't reminded me, I would have forgotten this episode."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked Hou Hai to check Yongpingwei's compilation files to see if the people in the fields were still there.After waiting for a long time, Hou Haijin signed the mortgage and confirmed Liu Ying's guess.

Liu Ying then came up with another idea: "King Gaoyang ordered the generals to gather troops to report to Weicheng in the name of preparing the frontier. The military households are not rich, if the prince can get some property from the Yongping treasury to reward, then Things are more secure. When the soldiers and horses arrive at the Acropolis, is it up to the prince to decide whether to prepare the border and how to call it?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu kept nodding, and immediately patted the table and said: "Wei Qianhu, you take the roster of Yongpingwei generals and handle this matter immediately."

Wei Da stood up, clasped his fists and held a military salute, "Decree!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and told Wei Da to do that right away.He was still busy identifying the files in his hand, which ones were useful, and he was doing this early in the morning.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu put a small stack of papers forward, turned to look at Liu Ying, "You stay, everything else is scattered."

All the generals bowed one after another: "The last general is waiting to retire."

Only Liu Ying stood there waiting.Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him again, "I will also arrange something for Liu Baihu. Here are some blueprints for the north. You can take them. Then go to each battalion to select experienced and clever soldiers to form a sentry team. Find a way to find some Local people, follow the road drawn on the map and explore the terrain near Daning City."

Liu Ying took two steps forward, picked up the stack of papers, cupped her fists and said, "The general will follow orders."
