I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 20: Court Discussion
Zhu Youlang, Emperor Yongli who didn't know how to make a decision, was secretly delighted when he heard what the crown prince Zhu Cixuan said, and said, "Do you think the crown prince's words are true?"

Duke Qian Mu Tianbo knew that his level of leading troops was average, and he was incomparable with Li Dingguo, who had been in battle for a long time and had commanded many battles. In addition, Li Dingguo had been in Yunnan since Emperor Yongli ascended the throne, and now there are thirteen At the beginning of the year, his prestige in Yunnan was not inferior to his own, and he could not grab the position of coach.

Even if they got it, these old troops of the Great Western Army might not just listen to themselves, but would destroy the good situation that they had finally achieved so far, so they pushed the boat forward and said: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness the Prince said is very true, and His Royal Highness Prince Jin will lead the troops If we can defeat Kunming, we will show off our great Ming army."

Chieftain Chieftain Mu Yi of Zheledian and Chieftain Chieftain Nasong of Yuanjiang were originally soy saucers. If the Tartars hadn't been too cruel to the chieftains, they would have threatened their rule of three acres of land, as well as the safety of their lives and property. , they will not raise troops.

They also know that Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, is brave and good at fighting, has a good command, has defeated the Tartars many times, and loves the people like a son.Moreover, Li Dingguo got along well with them in the past ten years in Yunnan, so they didn't have any objection to Li Dingguo becoming the coach.

They also agreed one by one, saying: "Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness said is very kind."

Gongchang Wang Bai Wenxuan thought that his prestige was not as good as Li Dingguo's, and he was very satisfied with getting a deputy commander, so he kept silent.

He Jiuyi, Dou Minwang, Gao Wengui, Wang Guoxi, and Jin Tongwu were either the old troops of the Western Army or Li Dingguo's subordinates. They were even more eager for Li Dingguo to lead the army, and they even raised their hands in favor of Prince Zhu Cixuan's suggestion.

Qi Sansheng, Wei Yong, Wang Sheng, these serious generals of the Ming army, on the one hand, knew that their soldiers were weak, and on the other hand, even if the position of commander was given to them, they would also have self-knowledge, and they would not be able to play at all.

What's more, during this period of time, they witnessed with their own eyes that although His Highness the Crown Prince was still young, he had already shown his true colors, and he had a lot of ideas, so they couldn't refute the face of the Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan.

Emperor Zhu Youlang saw that everyone had no opinion, so he issued an imperial decree, "Decree Jin Wang Li Dingguo can be the commander-in-chief, Gongchang Wang Baiwen can be selected as the deputy commander-in-chief, Zhe Ledian Chief Chief Si Muyi, Yuanjiang Chieftain Nasong are assistants, In a few days, troops will be sent to recover Kunming, and Duke Qian Mu Tianbo will lead the troops to defend Dali."

Zhu Cixuan recommended himself again, saying: "Father, my son is willing to be the supervisor of the army and go out with the army."

Zhu Youlang and the Crown Prince parted for half a month, and the Empress Wang kept whispering in Zhu Cixuan's ears during these days when Zhu Cixuan was away with the army, saying that the Crown Prince was young and was fighting with the army every day, and worried about his son's safety. In fact, the Empress Wang cared about her son. I don't want my son to leave my side.Zhu Youlang didn't want Zhu Cixuan to supervise the army this time, and went to Kunming with the army, so he said:

"My son has just fought Mopan Mountain not long ago, this time stay with me and your mother!"

"Father, my son knows that my father is worried about my safety, but the Kunming Tartars are still alive, so my heart is not at ease. I beg my father to let me go out to supervise the army. I know my father is worried about my safety. Ke Erchen has the guards of the East Palace led by Mu Zhongliang, and he is still in the army. Father can rest assured. If father is still worried, he can ask the commander-in-chief Wei Bao, Wang Sheng, Wang Qilong, and Chen Qian to lead the army to guard his son. The servants are left and right."

"This... this..." Emperor Zhu Youlang actually knew that having the prince as the supervisor of the army going out with the army would be of great benefit to the precarious Ming Dynasty, but he was still a bit reluctant for Zhu Cixuan to go to Kunming.

The general soldiers Wei Bao, Wang Sheng, Wang Qilong, and Chen Qian couldn't help being overjoyed when they heard that the prince proposed that they lead the troops to protect the prince and go to Kunming, the prince!future emperor.

And through these days of contact, they know that although the prince is young, he is quite assertive and has the appearance of a wise king. If he can follow the prince to Kunming this time and leave a good impression on His Royal Highness, in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, they will Possessing the power of Conglong will be of great benefit to them in the future.

One by one, they said: "Your Majesty, we are willing to lead our troops to go out with His Royal Highness to protect the safety of His Royal Highness."

Jin Wang Li Dingguo also wanted the prince to go out with the army in his heart. If other people were to supervise the army, he would definitely not want it, but he would not say it clearly, but the prince is different!The Prince's East Palace guards are equipped with powerful Western muskets, which are of great help to the improvement of the current Ming army's combat power.

Besides, during this period of time in the army, the prince never interfered with his command randomly, and even provided his own guards to join the battle, and made a surprise attack on Dali.

If His Royal Highness the Prince supervises the army, it can deter the leaders of the various armies, which will help you to coordinate the various armies and increase the cohesion of the army, which will be of great benefit to stabilizing the morale of the Ming army. outweighs the disadvantages.So Li Dingguo also spoke out, saying:

"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to allow His Royal Highness to supervise the army."

"Huh?" Emperor Zhu Youlang was stunned. When did his son become so popular with these generals?What must have happened in the past half month?Although he couldn't figure it out for a while, it was a good thing for Daming, so he had an idea:
"My dear friends, since everyone wants the prince to supervise the army, then I will issue an order, and the prince will obey the order."

"My son listens to the order."

"The decree is that the prince will supervise the army of the Kunming army, supervise the whole army, and give Shang Fang a special sword, which has the right to cut first and then play."

"Your servant obeys the order, thank you father, long live father, long live, long live." Shang Fang's sword!Zhu Cixuan has never seen the real Shangfang Sword, so he doesn't know if it is a magical weapon, anyway, it should not be crudely made scrap copper or iron, otherwise I'm sorry for the cool name of Shangfang Sword.Therefore, when Zhu Cixuan expressed gratitude, his voice was very loud and sincere.

"Xuan, Mu Zhongliang sees you."

"Xuan, Mu Zhongliang has an audience" Li Chonggui, the eunuch behind the emperor, opened his throat and shouted in a long tone.

Mu Zhongliang, who was waiting outside the hall, trotted into the hall, knelt down on the ground and shouted long live.

"Mu Zhongliang listened to the decree. During the period when Mu Zhongliang was guarding the crown prince, he was loyal and trustworthy. Mu Zhongliang was specially appointed as a thousand households and commanded three thousand guards of the East Palace."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Wei Bao, Wang Sheng, Wang Qilong, and Chen Qian listen to the orders."

Wei Bao, Wang Sheng, Wang Qilong, and Chen Qian knelt down to receive the order.

"Let's wait for the four of you to mobilize 5000 troops from each battalion to go out with the prince."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, minister Wei Bao, minister Wang Sheng, minister Wang Qilong, and minister Chen Qian lead the order."

Emperor Zhu Cixuan continued, saying: "Prince, King Jin, King Gongchang, Marquis of Xianning, Duke Qian, and Duke Guang after you go down, discuss a specific charter and report to me. If I am exhausted, I will retire. "
