Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 285

The four people came out of the hotel with melancholy faces. The expressions on their faces can be described in four words, that is, they are like mourning.Although His Royal Highness said not to pursue it, who can say for sure?His Royal Highness is hanging a knife over the heads of the four people. The four people don't know what it feels like. In short, they feel very bad.

"My lord, what should we do?" Mao Lun approached Han Fu, and asked cautiously. After all, Han Fu's mood was not much better, and Mao Lun was also afraid of angering Han Fu.

Han Fu was still in the mood to be angry at this time, he sighed a little helplessly, and then said: "What else can we do? Do as the prince said, if it was someone else who came here, we might still be able to make excuses, but this is Your Highness, the slightest carelessness is a crime of losing your head, you don't want to be pulled out by those Black Dragon Guards, do you?"

After hearing Han Fu's words, the three of them turned their heads to look at the Black Dragon Guard not far away. Those people were like wooden stakes, covered in iron armor, with a knife on their waist, and kept their eyes straight. If it wasn't for the faint sound of breathing Blink every now and then, and you don't even realize it's a living person.Such an army looks really scary.

Shivering, the three of them turned their heads back. Mao Lun said with a mournful face, "But we all know that this really needs to be investigated. I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it!"

Of course, they are very aware of the situation in Guangningwei. There are quite a few households who escaped. Many people couldn't stand the oppression, so they fled directly. The shortage is serious. Of course, the salary will continue to be received.Then there are military households in various places, many of which are not well equipped. It is good to have a knife. Many people do not even have a knife and are only responsible for farming.

Some of them are good, and the equipment is also very good, but these people are far from enough, that is, [-]% of the effect.

If this is pulled over, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be furious?In fact, they didn't know that there were [-]% of them, and Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied.

At this time, the Daming Frontier Army was not that bad, and the latter was unimaginably bad, but the four of them were still very worried.Seeing that the three of them were all looking at him, looking as if they were following his lead, Han Fu cursed in his heart.Obviously, these guys are putting on this posture now, making it clear that they want to push themselves up. If something really happens, these guys will sell themselves in a blink of an eye.

But at this time, what else can be done?Hard top prince?Stop making trouble, that is courting death.

Han Fu said directly: "Go back and mobilize the manpower, move out all the ordnance in the warehouse, the old and the weak are also on board, and those who are short of it are said to have fled to the deep mountains. If His Royal Highness really wants to blame, we people It's enough to bear it." Saying that, Han Fu turned around and strode away, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that if you want me to take the thunder alone, you are also thinking blindly.

The other three people looked at each other, all a little embarrassed, but they were in a tacit understanding and no one said anything, and they directly chased after him.

After the four left, Zhu Houzhao walked out of the house, feeling the cool air, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. The temperature in Liaodong at this time is really pleasant.Seeing Liu Jin coming with a person, Zhu Houzhao was not too surprised, just stood there and waited quietly.

This is a man in his 30s, with a white face and beardless, and he has a calm temperament. After seeing Zhu Houzhao, he quickly lay down on the ground and saluted: "Jiang Lian, Liaodong Branch of the Huanyi Bureau, sees His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, glanced at Jiang Lian and said, "Get up!" When Jiang Lian stood up, Zhu Houzhao asked, "How long have you been in Liaodong?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, two years and four months!" Jiang Lian quickly replied: "I came here with Qiyizhai."

"Tell me!" Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said.

Jiang Lian was also prepared and said: "After I came to Liaodong, I mainly did two things. The first thing was to find out the details of the generals at all levels in Liaodong, and the second was to sell the items of Qiyizhai to North Korea. , The past two years have also made a lot of profits, and according to Eunuch Yang's instructions, a business route to North Korea has been opened up."

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said admiringly: "Very good, well done, let's talk about the big family in Liaodong!"

North Korea's business path is naturally necessary, how can the obedient younger brother not let him fall under Daming's Wanghua?If there are good things, it is natural to think about the younger brother.This time for wool textiles, Zhu Houzhao regards North Korea as a very good market, which can be further expanded. North Korea still has a lot of potential to be tapped. As the suzerain country, he should also help his younger brother well.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Jiang Lian said in a deep voice: "Liaodong is a big family, and there are more generals. Liaodong has always been a military town, and the style of writing is not obvious. Even if someone wins the scientific examination, most of them will become officials and move. Liaodong has existed for many years. , that is, these hereditary generals, they are rooted in Liaodong and manage military households, so the big families in Liaodong are generals."

This Zhu Houzhao understands that the civil servants will not stay here for long, and they will leave after two terms at most, and only the generals will inherit here hereditary.

Not to mention, Li Chengliang is a model of this. The Li family in Tieling is also well-known, but it did not spread to the entire Liaodong before Li Chengliang's family.Thinking of this, Zhu Houzhao laughed immediately: "Then the home of Han Fu, the chief soldier of Liaodong, is not the largest household in Liaodong?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the position of commander-in-chief is changed every three years by the court, so there is not much help. The Han family is a big family, but it is not the largest family. There is no largest family in Liaodong." Jiang Lian said quickly.

Zhu Houzhao nodded. The imperial court had much stricter requirements on military generals than on civilian officials. In addition, this is also the benefit of using civil to control military affairs. It is difficult for local generals to become bigger.Unless, like Liaodong in the late Ming Dynasty, the frontiers were in great trouble, and the court had no choice but to give the side generals more power and better treatment, there is no situation where the side generals become bigger in the current Ming Dynasty.

Nodding his head, Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Lian, and then asked, "Who is the partner of Qiyizhai in Liaodong?"

"His Royal Highness, it's Han Dong, the older brother of Han Fu of the Liaodong Army." Jiang Lian dared not hide anything, and said hastily.

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "At first, I was thinking about how to get some money from these people, but now it seems that there is a way." Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Jin, and ordered: " You can do this!"

Upon hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Liu Jin instantly understood, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness, this servant will definitely handle the matter well, and will never disappoint His Highness the Crown Prince."
