Chapter 55: Bu Wan's Discussion on Huaixi

"I accept your orders."

The commander of the personal guards immediately bowed to Feng Sheng and accepted the order.

"The Tartars are now in chaos, and their leader has been beheaded by Zhu Ying. He has already exceeded the task assigned to him by Prefect Bu."

"I should be back this time too."

Feng Sheng said in a deep voice, with anticipation in his eyes.

Bu Wan smiled and said immediately, "General, you are absolutely right. Previously, we only allowed Zhu Ying to hold out in the foreign lands of the Northern Frontier for half a month, waiting for the arrival of our main army. However, he not only stayed in the Northern Frontier for over a month, but also achieved such great results. This is something I never imagined."

"As far as I know, Zhu Ying is only sixteen years old, right?" Feng Sheng said with a smile.

"I was sixteen when I joined the army. Now more than half a year has passed. I should be seventeen in a few months." Bu Wan replied immediately.

"He is indeed a talented general of the Ming Dynasty. As long as he is well trained in the future, he will surely be a brave and valiant general of the Ming Dynasty."

"When he comes back, I will meet him in person." Feng Sheng said with a big laugh.

"General."

"I plan to attack Kaiyuan City tonight to disrupt the Yuan army and prepare to capture the city."

Seeing Feng Sheng praising Zhu Ying so much, Lan Yu stood up and asked loudly.

Obviously.

He didn't want his limelight to be overshadowed by Zhu Ying.

"How to attack, Marquis Yongchang can decide for himself." Feng Sheng also saw Lan Yu's thoughts and did not stop him.

Military achievements are what matter in the military. If you want to compete for military achievements, you can do so as long as it does not cause chaos in the army. And you must compete under constraints.

"The last general takes orders."

"Within ten days."

"I will definitely break into Kaiyuan City and annihilate the Yuan army in the city." Lan Yu said loudly. Compared with the half-month period he had promised before, Lan Yu shortened the deadline he set again.

"I will be waiting for your victory."

"If the Marquis of Yongchang captures the city within ten days, I will personally report to the Emperor and request your credit."

"The same is true when General Fu Youde attacked Jincheng, which was heavily guarded by the Yuan army."

"Whoever breaks the city first will be the first to achieve the credit." Feng Sheng also said immediately.

……

In the military camp!
Bu Wan, Chen Heng and Liu Zhen sat opposite each other, all with smiles on their faces.

"How do you feel today?" Bu Wan asked with a smile.

“Very encouraged.”

"Always."

"Our Daning Border Army is not outstanding among the other prefectures of our Ming Dynasty. It is not considered to be a good army in the Ministry of War or the imperial court. The Beiping Army is the strongest among the border prefectures. But now Zhu Ying has achieved continuous victories, and our Daning Border Army is fighting to the death with the Yuan Army without retreating. Our Daning Border Army has completely made a name for itself." Chen Heng said with a smile.

After leading the troops to separate in the northern border that day, the two deputy commanders Chen Heng and Liu Zhen led their troops to attack the Yuan court in Liaodong while fighting and retreating.

As the main army arrived, Chen Heng and Liu Zhen also joined forces and were dispatched by Feng Sheng.

"indeed so."

"Zhu Ying."

"He's so young, yet he possesses such courage and military talent. His future is limitless."

"Based on Zhu Ying's military achievements, he is worthy of being appointed as the deputy commander and commanding ten thousand troops." Bu Wan said with emotion.

The first time Bu Wan heard Zhu Ying's name, it was when Zhu Ying single-handedly killed a hundred enemies, including the generals and flags. That was when Bu Wan got to know Zhu Ying, and at that time Zhu Ying was only a centurion.

"I am not as good as him in commanding troops."

"Don't mention his promotion to assistant commander. Even if he is promoted to associate commander or commander-in-chief, it will be enough." Chen Heng said with great emotion.

"That's true."

"At first, Zhu Ying's killing of a hundred enemies was considered merely valor, but this battle deep behind enemy lines clearly demonstrates his extraordinary ability to lead troops."

"He led 4,000 cavalrymen to harass the enemy's hinterland. If he was not careful, he would be surrounded by the enemy and eventually his entire army would be wiped out." "But he not only killed so many enemies, but also beheaded their leader. If I were to lead the troops, I might not be able to hold out for ten days and would have to retreat to the Ming Dynasty." Liu Zhen also spoke the truth.

"Zhu Ying, your future is limitless."

"It's not just his military achievements, but he has already caught the emperor's eye."

"Becoming a hereditary county man is a great honor."

"Who in my entire Daning Prefecture's border army holds this title?"

"This is also the basis of the emperor's holy judgment." Bu Wan said with great emotion.

When he heard the news that day, Bu Wan was also extremely shocked, but he had been an official for many years and naturally understood the twists and turns involved. This meant that the current emperor wanted to cultivate Zhu Ying and set a benchmark for a brave young general in the Ming army.

"grown ups."

"It is said that the angels from Yingtian are still waiting in the army. Is this true?" Chen Heng asked tentatively.

"It's true."

Bu Wan nodded, his expression very serious. "Conferring a title is a major event. The Emperor's angel will come to bestow the seal of nobility. Only in this way can we treat it with great respect and demonstrate the honor of the title."

"Since you are here today."

"I also want to remind you of something." Bu Wan looked at Chen Heng and the others with a serious expression.

"Please, sir."

Chen Heng and the other two said immediately.

"Although we are now fighting against the Yuan court together with the Huaixi generals led by Yongchang Hou, you must remember not to get too close to these Huaixi generals. Apart from exchanges on military affairs, you are not allowed to have any private relationships with them." Bu Wan lowered his voice and said very seriously.

Hear this.

Chen Heng and Liu Zhen immediately fell silent.

Subsequently.

Chen Heng understood the deeper meaning: "Your Excellency is saying that the Huaixi generals are too domineering, and you're worried that if I get too close to them, I might offend the Heavenly Majesty?"

"A fierce general from Huaixi, he is proud of his achievements and known for his arrogance."

"Who in the entire court doesn't know about this now?"

"Yet the current Emperor has warned them many times, yet they still show no signs of restraint and continue to use their achievements as a pretext for self-importance. Perhaps the Emperor, mindful of their military achievements, can only tolerate this, but if this continues for a long time, I don't believe they will go unpunished."

"Getting too close to them won't end well."

"of course."

"They are a faction of their own in Huaixi, and it's difficult for outsiders to integrate with them."

"Even if you go and post it, they won't accept it."

"In short, it's better to be cautious in treating them and interacting with them."

"This is just some advice I can give you based on my many years of experience in officialdom," Bu Wan said seriously.

Hear this.

Chen Heng and Liu Zhen immediately clasped their fists and expressed their gratitude: "Thank you for the reminder, sir."

"Today in the camp, news of Zhu Ying's military exploits was reported. I have seen how domineering the Marquis of Yongchang is."

"If you get close to them, there will definitely be no good ending." Chen Heng said.

"Not bad." Liu Zhen also nodded.

Obviously.

They also strongly agreed with Bu Wan's words.

"Anyway, just cooperate with the military."

"In this expedition against Yuan Ting Nahachu, we, the border troops of Daning, have fulfilled our duty. Now it is the responsibility of the general and the Marquis of Yongchang and others." Bu Wan smiled lightly and did not care too much about the subsequent expedition.
