Steam Daming: Stop calling me to supervise the country

Chapter 150

Throughout ancient history, it is generally difficult to maintain a country with too large a territory, and internal and external troubles often break out.

The territory is too large, the speed of traffic is not enough, and the speed of information transmission is not enough. If a small-scale rebellion breaks out in some places, if the notification is not timely or the local officials do not know the general situation, a little deceit may make it bigger.

This was the case with the bandits in Jiangxi, as was the rebellion in Jiaozhi.

Although the Jiaozhi rebellion is more serious now, Zhu Gaochi is even more afraid of Yunnan Mufu. Compared with the rebellion in Jiaozhi, he is more afraid that Yunnan Mufu will continue to grow.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Mu Ying to guard Yunnan. What is the relationship between Mu Ying and Zhu Yuanzhang? He was adopted by Zhu Yuanzhang as an adopted son at the age of eight. After decades of friendship between the father and son, he was ordered to be buried in the capital, and the king of Qianning was pursued.

But Mu Ying's descendants, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Di would not have the close father-son brotherhood. After all, the Mu mansion was owned by the prince Zhu Biao.

If it wasn't for Zhu Biao's early death, Mu Mansion would probably be Zhu Di's great enemy, and Mu Mansion lived in the south for a long time and had a very high prestige in the local area. The court did not like such a powerful leader of the frontier.

When the King of Han was named Yunnan as a vassal state, he wanted the King of Han to check and balance the Mu Mansion, but what a smart person the King of Han is. He can't fight and it is difficult to manage, so let him go?What a joke.

When Zhu Gaochi received the news of Jiaozhi, he immediately sent someone to notify Zhang Fu, the British public servant, to set off again.

He came to the prince's study as soon as he received the news. Zhang Fu is only in his early 40s. He has been in the army all year round. He has a strong body and a healthy face. One can tell that his son followed his appearance.

"His Royal Highness."

"Mr. Britain, the rebellion is serious in the Lei Dynasty in Jiaozhi, and I have the sole intention of sending you to mobilize the troops to resist the rebellion."

Zhang Fu suddenly coughed twice: "His Royal Highness, my minister has recently contracted the cold and is unwell. It is a long way to go. I am afraid that I will miss the important event of His Highness.

Unexpectedly refused.

A certain Ma surnamed physiognomy slapped face Wang once said: "Why do employees leave their jobs and refuse to work? It's nothing more than two points, the money is not in place, and the heart is aggrieved."

The British Duke Zhang Fu is a military minister of Fengtianjing Nanchucheng Xuanli, Special Jin Ronglu Doctor, You Zhuguo, and British Duke. He has three thousand stone a year and has money, fame and fortune. Starting from Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, he has been favored by the emperor. For decades, it is impossible if the money is not in place, that is, the heart is aggrieved.

Why aggrieved?Zhu Di listened to the slanderous words of Ma Qi, the eunuch of the Jiaozhi prison army, saying that he chose soldiers privately, that is, he had the intention of overstepping, and he wanted to be the boss, but he was against it.

The two generations of Zhang's family are loyal and good, fighting for the Ming Dynasty in the South and the North. You doubt me so much. This is an insult to my character and trampling on my personality. Now you are calling me to go on an expedition. Believe the words of the slanderous eunuch, then ask that eunuch to quell the rebellion.

Naturally, the grievances full of grievances cannot be expressed like a shrew scolding the streets. To sum up, it is the sentence of being ill, please be clever.

Zhu Gaochi naturally expected that Zhang Fu would not agree easily. Who asked Zhu Di to be called back in a hurry? Isn't this a slap in the face?Ying Tianfu, who did not know that he was not trusted by the emperor now, called him back to the capital.

But this is also Zhu Di's strategy for those with high merit. From time to time, he has to suppress him a little. If he calls back, he will be asked to stay at home. There is no punishment at all.

I really want to suspect that you have a revolt, can you live on?
Zhu Gaochi sighed and said: "It's not good to be alone, not as strong and able to lead troops as the father and emperor, and not as strong as King Zhao of Han, but they are all on the front line of the northern Xinjiang, and now there is no one in my Daming who can pacify the rebellion for Gufen's worries. ,Ugh."

However, Zhang Fu still didn't say anything. It seemed that the grievances he suffered last time were serious, and he didn't speak so easily.

Zhu Zhanchang interjected: "Prince of England, I just met Zhang Zhong, the prince of your house, today. I didn't expect to see the prince at night. It's a fate."

"His Royal Highness, I don't know if my incompetent son bumped into you."

"The prince has a hearty personality. I have heard that he has both civil and military skills. Today, when he sees him, he is really good at the door. Father, since the prince is in bad health, it is better to let the prince go. Jiaozhi border barbarian people. The prince can do the same.”

As soon as Zhu Zhanchang said this, Zhang Fu was stunned, and Zhu Gaochi was secretly happy, Zhu Zhanchang's angle was still tricky.

"The dog has a stubborn temper and is young. He can't bear such a heavy burden. The border military is related to the national sports. Please think twice about His Royal Highness." Zhang Fu declined again.

"Zhang Zhong is considered a weak champion in the coming year. It's good to have experience."

"The dog will be the age of weak crown next year. This burden is too heavy. Knowing the child, Mo Ruofu, he can't do it."

Zhu Gaochi had a good temper, and continued to persuade Zhang Fu with his affection and reason. Zhang Fu seemed to be unwilling to enter, so he made up his mind not to go.

After a while, Yang Shiqi came, and after a brief understanding of the matter, he said: "Your Highness, if there is really no way, let the eunuch of the supervisory army lead the troops to go out, and mobilize the troops from Yunnan and Guangdong and Guangxi to kill Jiaozhi, and the rebellion will surely be pacified."

After listening to Yang Shiqi's opinion, Zhang Fu immediately said: "Scholar Yang, you don't understand the military, so don't make rash comments. There are Luchuan on the border of Yunnan that need to be guarded. The war is about to start, and it is not suitable for the south to start a war, Ma Qi, hum..."

Yang Shiqi smiled slightly: "His Royal Highness, although the British prince is slightly ill, he still works hard on the state affairs. He is only familiar with the border of Jiaozhi. If the old minister said anything casually, the prince would see it as unreasonable. The matter still has to go to England."

The old guy was waiting for him here, Zhang Fu smiled bitterly in his heart, but stopped talking.

Yang Shiqi turned and said: "His Royal Highness, Ma Qi, the eunuch of the Jiaozhi army, has a lot of acts of favor and abuse of the people. I heard about it because he forced most of the people of Jiaozhi to rise up. I don't know what the truth is. The truth is that it is not good to wrong the British public because of Ma Qi's words."

Because Ma Qi suffered a series of defeats, his supervisor was about to withdraw first. This time, Zhang Fu just asked Zhang Fu to take people there, and it was an explanation to Zhang Fu.

Zhu Gaochi nodded: "It's so good. When you were in peace, I remember that the official position was Commander Tongzhi. Let's take the prince with you on this expedition, and give him the position of Commander Tongzhi and experience it."

Although Zhang Fu was still unhappy, but Zhu Gaochi and Yang Shiqi said this, and he is not an ignorant person.

And before he came today, he made up his plan to go out this time, that is, to fight for fame and profit.

Given his name, he also counted his son's generation. Zhang Zhong, who had no official position before, instantly gained the position of commander and knowledge. Ordinary people have to fight in a sea of ​​swords and flames to get such a position.

"I have worked hard for Da Ming for many years, and I have not dared to slack off. I am fortunate to have the trust of Your Majesty and His Royal Highness. Although I have a hidden illness, I am willing to go to Jiaozhi and worry about my talents. This trip is to stabilize the military heart and stabilize the border army as the first priority. It is important to ask His Royal Highness to issue a decree, if anyone intends to enter Jiaozhi, the minister can escort him back to Beijing."

"I'm alone, Mr. British, the matter of Jiaozhi is up to you."

It is always reassuring to have such a general with rich combat experience in charge.

The British prince's expedition was very grand, and His Royal Highness the Prince saw him off in person, which also represented the importance of the royal family.

Zhang Zhong, the most beautiful man in the world, jumped off his horse and gave a salute to the Prince's Highness.

"Young man is a heroic young man, and he will be like your father this time, like your grandfather, and come back with a lot of military merit."

"As ordered."

……

The color darkened, birds and insects chirped, and the weather gradually warmed up.

A small sparrow landed on a branch, buried its head under its wings, flapped its wings gently, and chirped.

A pebble came flying, and the bird fluttered its wings and ran away in shock.

"Noisy."

Zhu Zhanchang, who was sleeping on a tree, placed a lot of stones beside him, and there were a lot of birds who were disturbing him.

Xiaosheng and Chu'er were guarding under the tree. Zhu Zhanchang remembered that the first time he came here, he was lying on this tree and taking a nap, and before he knew it, the spring had passed.

The idle time always slips away in the blink of an eye, and it is already early summer.

The awakened Zhu Zhanchang got down from the tree and patted the dust on his body.

"His Royal Highness, the northern expedition army started a few days ago. I believe that your majesty will be able to return with a great victory soon." Xiaosheng said a few auspicious words.

Zhu Zhanchang has no worries about Zhu Di's northern expedition. Zhu Di can still beat the northern tartars. Recently, the prince's health has been getting better, so he has been lazy all the time. .

The telephone factory has developed very rapidly recently. The simplest electric power principle has been recorded in the book, and all the senior workers are working hard to study it.

There is a huge demand for telephone sets in various provinces, and the queues to be installed have been lined up for two months.

"His Royal Highness has another news from the Second Highness today."

"What do you say? Another big win?"

"Yes, Your Highness."

Every time Zhu Zhanzhen came back with news, he wanted everyone to know, and he never reported good news but not bad news. There were only great victories, great victories against bandits, how many people were caught and killed, but he never said that his losses were consumed.

Zhu Gaochi was very troubled. Zhu Zhanzhen's behavior was too good for success, but fortunately, his achievements in suppressing bandits were indeed quite good. Jiangxi officials also gave him the second highness, but he did not have the ability to rectify the officialdom in Jiangxi. Annunciation, but in the face of so many old Youzi officials, his head is big.

Zhu Zhanchang went to Zhu Gaochi's study. Zhu Gaochi was tasting the dishes cooked by the new chef. No matter where he fought, Zhu Gaochi's golden knife competition could not be missed every year, and there were new dishes.

As soon as he saw Zhu Zhanchang, he became angry: "I haven't been here for many days. A few days ago, I said that I would go to the steam engine factory and the shipyard. Don't think I didn't know you were sneaking out to play."

Zhu Zhanchang smiled innocently and scratched his head: "Father is all right, what else should I worry about?"

"Be lazy and be lazy, don't make excuses."

"The son knows he is wrong, what is the father worried about?"

"I'm going to call your second brother back."

"Ah? The second brother didn't do a good job of suppressing bandits, so why did you call him back?"

Zhu Gaochi sighed: "The bandits have basically been eliminated. If the remaining officials in Jiangxi can't handle it, then the entire officialdom in Jiangxi can be changed. Your second brother came to report today and led the troops into the bandit cottage, almost No one was caught, but the guards gave their lives to keep him from escaping."

"Ah? Second brother, are you all right?"

"The injury is a little skin trauma, but the terrain in the mountains is complicated. He led his troops to go deep alone. It was a big taboo. Let's call him back first."

Zhu Zhanchang reminded: "Father, let the second brother come back now, he's afraid he won't."

The credit for eradicating bandits is in front of him, and it is impossible for the second brother to turn around and come back.

This is where Zhu Gao is worried.

"Hey, let him continue, the bandits are basically unable to overcome the storm, and now the important task is to ensure the military supply of the northern line, because there are steam ships, the material delivery far exceeds expectations, your grandfather is very satisfied, the army is overwhelming the desert, Search for the traces of Mahamud, presumably there will be a battle report coming back soon."

"Grandpa Huang will win the battle."

"Don't be careless when marching. Back-line supplies are very important. Our army's equipment is better than that of the grassland people, but they have many brave people who are more familiar with the region and are more skilled in riding. Small forces are easy to suffer when they advance quickly."

After all, Zhu Gaochi grew up in Shuntian Prefecture. Although he had never faced Mongolian cavalry, he still had some knowledge.

Although not good at fighting, but not incapable of fighting.

"Father, our army has entered the grasslands, and the supplies are dragged along, otherwise we will divide our troops and learn to fight in small groups of cavalry on the grasslands. Our army has new weapons such as grenades and Aka [-]. Even if the horsemanship is slightly weaker, it has an absolute advantage in battle. , you can see that our army has a great advantage in equipment from the beautiful battle that the second uncle fought before."

Zhu Gaochi smiled gratifiedly: "Your grandpa indeed did the same. The large troops advance normally, and ten 500 cavalry teams with the best equipment go forward to find people, fight in small-scale battles, and report back when they find the enemy's large troops. "

Fighting the Mongols in the Mongolian way feels a bit reckless on the grasslands, just because you are well equipped and have small-scale conflicts, you will definitely not be able to beat me.

Back then, it was the practice of foreign cavalrymen to harass our army, but now it's us.

……

On the vast grassland, Zhu Zhanji led a small team of elites to ambush: "Is it really Mahamu's army ahead?"

"His Royal Highness, if it is a fake, I inspected the front yesterday and saw the flag of Hamamu, it is definitely them."

"How many people there are."

"can not see clearly."

The elites led by Zhu Zhanji have fought against the Mongolian cavalry several times these days, repeatedly defeating the Mongolian cavalry, gaining their prestige, and playing the role of the vanguard.

If this time it is really Mahamu's headquarters, it's good news.

"Send spies to report back, and the rest will surprise me to find out the truth."

"His Royal Highness, it is absolutely impossible. The number of enemy troops is at least ten times that of me, and it is also its position. It is a taboo to attack rashly."

"A surprise attack is used to find out the truth. If the situation is not right, turn around and run." Zhu Zhanji is not a rash leader.

"Take out the grenades, surprise attack."
