The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 471 There Are Such Cautious People
Among the countless flags, the highest one is the prince's flag.

Li Jian's face was covered with sweat.

He and his team, the soldiers were wearing military uniforms, standing beside them with self-made muskets, bayonets above their shoulders.

The eyes under everyone's hats looked into the distance.

They couldn't hear what the prince was saying in the distance, but everyone remained motionless and maintained a serious military posture.

The sun in the sky cannot increase the temperature of the ground.

The weather in February in North Parallel Province is still cold.

The soldiers who had just gone through the drill were all steaming with excitement.

"Wow."

The vast army formation was silent, only the sound of the flag being blown by the wind made the silent space move.

The camp flag of "Miyun Shixia Camp."

"Miyun Shixia Camp Cavalry Camp."

"Miyun Shixia Camp Infantry A-shaped Battalion."

"Jinzhou Camp."

……

Zhang Xin, Yang Wen, Sun Yan, Zheng Heng, Liu Zhen, Zhou Xing, Zhuang De, Zhang Yu...

There are dozens of generals from the Beiping Department, Liaodong Department, Daning Department, generals from various places, and generals from the Forbidden Army.

Chen Heng and Jin Zhong met and grabbed each other.

"It's better that you understand the young prince's feelings."

Chen Heng had a look of emotion on his face.

Jin Zhong couldn't help but smile.

"The same goes for the young prince. If he feels that there are few troops escorting him to the south, he can just say so. He said a lot of inexplicable things."

Hearing Chen Heng's complaint, Jin Zhong smiled.

Naturally, the superior person cannot say everything.

These cronies below them just want to take the initiative to do it.

It was confirmed that the young prince went south. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the armies to be disbanded today.

Many armies will go south after finishing.

Preparatory work has begun in Shandong and Henan.

Zhu Gaochi has not appeared yet. Except for the generals who have important matters on site, the other generals are waiting for the young prince here.

Zhuang De hid far away, outside the Liaodong generals.

After hiding around, Zhou Xing still saw him.

"You've been avoiding me lately."

Zhou Xing grabbed Zhuang De.

"You don't blame me anymore?" Zhuang De asked.

"Of course it's strange."

Zhou Xing said confidently.

"When Guo Shi told us not to get involved, who said we should be loyal to the court?" Zhou Xing looked at Zhuang De displeased.

Zhuang De rubbed the back of his head helplessly.

He would never be fooled by this again.

Outsiders like them shouldn't be involved in the affairs of the old Zhu's family. Not only are their colleagues upset, but they also make themselves uncomfortable.

Zhou Xing went to the palace to plead guilty.

It's not a bad thing to ask for forgiveness.

The generals will be in harmony.

With such a good opportunity, if Zhou Xing had fawned on the palace back then, the palace's trust in Zhou Xing would have reached a new level.

As a result, Zhou Xing did not seize this opportunity because of the dissuasion of Zhuang De and others.

Although they are still doing things under the banner of Wangfu, the meaning is still different, and the best opportunity has been missed.

It's just that Lao Zhu's family knows how to play, and the people below them have become a joke.

"I was reckless in this matter."

Zhuang De formally apologized to Zhou Xing.

"It's not true." Zhou Xing smiled and did not blame Zhuang De.

Now.

People need to stick together.

Of course, the Beiping clique is the most enjoyable, followed by the Daning clique, and finally the Liaodong clique. As for the generals from other provinces, they are still inferior in terms of closeness.

"Anyway, given the current situation in the palace, from now on, please do things with your heart." Zhuang De sighed.

Many people in the Liaodong generals complained about Zhuang De.

Not everyone can be as generous as Zhou Xing. Many people think that Zhuang De delayed the future of the Liaodong generals.

Zhou Xing nodded.

"The little prince is here."

Someone outside sang.

The generals stopped talking and stepped forward to greet him.

Zhu Gaochi walked in and met everyone one by one.

"Zhao An."

"Little lord."

Zhu Gaochi patted the shoulder of the general in front of him.

Because of his brother's involvement, he was banished to the Ganzhou Guards and Chongjun. He was a general promoted from the northwest last year.

This talent, known as the good general of Western Xinjiang in history, is brave and strategic in combat, and is a general worth training.

It is necessary to develop your own talents.

However, to expand from Peking to eleven provinces and one region, it is also necessary to absorb external talents.

Whether they can win the hearts of the people also represents the stability of these areas.

Whether a system can attract external talents is a manifestation of whether the system is advanced. Zhu Gaochi will never refuse to win over foreign generals because of the disputes in the past.

For example Li Shimin.

Many generals who originally belonged to his hostile forces were not only absorbed by Li Shimin, but also reused by him.

A system that cannot attract outside talent to join is definitely problematic.

Even if countless talents join in the construction of New China in later generations, their contributions will be undeniable.

Zhu Gaochi wants to break Shantouism.

Although this matter is not easy, there is a limit to everything. Shantouism is too strong, which is detrimental to the long-term development of Ming Dynasty.

So as long as the generals in other provinces are talented, Zhu Gaochi must be promoted.

For generals like Zhao An who have been proven to be talented by history, the cost of trial and error has been guaranteed, so how can they not be reused.

"There is no doubt about the strength of the new army, but everyone's contribution is the key. A good horse with a good saddle, Ming needs you."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile, and everyone smiled.

soon.

Zhu Gaochi stood on the stage.The sergeants below were densely packed, and everyone looked at the young prince. Zhu Gaochi couldn't see the end, and he knew that what he said could not be heard by the people behind him.

In the front are the military attachés at the grassroots level, wearing strict military uniforms and equipped with military attache swords.

"present!"

"Shh..."

One hundred thousand soldiers saluted.

Zhu Gaochi also raised his hand.

"Libi!"

"brush……"

Zhu Gaochi read the manuscript in his hand. Some of it was written by the clerk in the library, and some of it was revised by himself.

"According to the emperor's decree, my son will not go south soon."

"My father is about to be appointed as the crown prince. The day this prince arrives in Nanjing will be the day when he will be crowned the crown prince."

Zhu Gaochi said in public.

The generals around him were overjoyed and excited.

Zhu Gaochi read as usual.

The overall situation in the north has been calmed down, and the new army has expanded by 20, plus reserve forces from Beiping and Daning.

Although the capital has not been announced yet, Zhu Gaochi believes that it can be disclosed, which is good for winning the hearts of all parties.

As for the opposition forces in the south, as long as the current situation remains and continues to develop, it will not be a big problem.

"The Peiping model will be rolled out throughout the Ming Dynasty."

"Develop social productivity, improve production efficiency, put people first, and protect people's living environment and working conditions."

"At the same time, the construction of the army will be promoted unswervingly to improve the social status and security benefits of military households and enhance the combat capabilities of the army."

"Build a strong army that is sure to win every war, contribute to the prosperity of Ming Dynasty, and ensure the results of Ming Dynasty's development."

Zhu Gaochi blew the wind to the army.

The reform of Peking's army will not be limited to Peking.

And improving the status and treatment of military households will not be limited to Beiping.

The soldiers of the New Army have high morale, strict military discipline and excellent work style, which cannot be promoted by shouting a few slogans.

"Crash."

The sergeants in the front row applauded vigorously. Although the soldiers in the back did not know what was happening in front, they applauded along with them.

Following Zhu Gaochi's speech, the soldiers burst into warm applause.

Day two.

The armies set off.

……

Chuzhou.

"General, I received an urgent document from the Ministry of War."

Xie Gui took the tea from the person below and opened it.

"puff."

The tea in his mouth spurted out.

"This damn guy is here to attack our capital."

Everyone was surprised.

Xie Gui showed the official documents from the Ministry of War to the officials below.

Everyone was speechless after seeing it.

"Great." One of the staff murmured: "A hundred thousand troops are going south. Could it be that the talks with the saint have broken down."

"Who knows."

The troops starting from the North Parallel Province arrived at the junction of Henan and Yingtianfu, and the junction of Shandong and Yingtianfu.

The officials in both places quickly spread the news back to the capital.

Everyone in the capital was shocked.

Here's what to do.

The Ministry of War issued an official document asking all places to prepare for the sage's will.

"Henan and Shandong originally had tens of thousands of new troops. With the additional troops being transferred one after another, with the combat effectiveness of the new troops, if the court does not take precautions, the capital may be in danger."

"It's not always said that saints have a heart for easy storage."

"I see, this is Prince Yan and his son persecuting the saint."

Listening to the discussions among the government officials, Xie Gui was upset.

10,000+ new troops are on top.

Not to mention that the capital didn't dare to move, even Xie Gui didn't dare to move.

Although Chuzhou is an important place guarding the gateway to the capital, Chuzhou only has more than 10,000 troops. How can it be an opponent of [-]+ new troops.

"The mobilization of such a large army requires a lot of food and grass. In addition to the mobilized civilians, how come there was no news at all in advance."

"You forgot about the railway between Henan and Shandong."

After being reminded by others, the man suddenly realized it and exclaimed: "The benefits of this railway are great, but the mobilization of the army is too easy."

"In the past, the grain and grass were the first to go, and you could spot any disturbances. Now you can't be prepared. How will you know the movement of the army in the future?"

Everyone said what they said, but they didn't come up with a usable idea.

Xie Gui walked out bored.

Everything still depends on the saint's attitude, but the saint did not respond.

"Have Fang Xiaoru and the others left Chuzhou?"

"already left."

Xie Gui felt more at ease after hearing his confidant's answer.

He had some calculations before, but he didn't dare to do it, but he never expected that Prince Yan would be so cautious and dare to lead an army of [-] people south.

With this army of [-], it is like a golden body.

Xie Gui did not want to die together with Prince Yan.

"Although Prince Yan is young, he is too cautious, which is unheard of."

"What shall we do?"

The confidant general was also speechless. He knew the plan of the general above him.

"Send someone to see Prince Yan."

Xie Gui ordered.

The confidants below didn't know why, and looked at their general curiously.

"I have a list here for you to give to Prince Yan."

Xie Gui took out a volume from his arms.

The confidant understood.

The general wanted to seek refuge with Prince Yan and betray the emperor's grandson's line.

Xie Gui is confident of gaining the trust of Prince Yan.

He was ordered to station in Chuzhou and protect the gateway to the capital, and he was a person worthy of King Yan's win. With his own methods, Xie Gui believed that the new dynasty had its own place.
