Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 329 Northwest
Everything came to a conclusion, and Zhu Houzhao's going to the northwest was naturally on the agenda.

Except for the Crown Princess, basically everyone is happy, or they are looking forward to His Royal Highness's trip.

Scholars Xungui and businessmen were going to follow the prince to make a fortune, and the officials in the court thought it was just right to let the prince go to the northwest, which would save a lot of trouble.

Under such circumstances, Zhu Houzhao bid farewell to his princess, and then set off with others.[-] Black Dragon Guards, this must be brought along.

In addition, Zhu Houzhao also took Wang Shouren with him. This was for the military reform. Wang Shouren has done a lot of things and is basically proficient.

And He Jian is a trilateral system, and Tang Bohu is also accompanying him.

This time Zhu Houzhao asked Tang Bohu for an official - the prefect of Guyuan.This position is also in line with Tang Bohu, but his promotion speed can be regarded as a rocket.

As for Liao Fan, the former prefect of Guyuan recommended by Qin Hong to Zhu Houzhao, he also benefited this time, and was directly promoted to the governor of Shaanxi, which can be regarded as a magnificent turn in his official career.

After the army set out, countless merchants followed behind.

Following His Highness the Crown Prince along the way, maybe we can get to know each other sometime.It doesn't matter if you don't get familiar with him, as long as His Royal Highness knows that I am waiting to support him, that's enough. Once His Royal Highness arrives in the northwest, he will naturally think of people like himself.

Although the probability is not high, what if there is such a chance?

Everyone knows that the chance is small, but if there is a chance to get acquainted with the prince, it will be a step up to the sky!

Originally, Zhu Houzhao's line was full of elite soldiers and strong generals, but looking at Zhang Heling beside him, Zhu Houzhao felt a little helpless.There seems to be something strange mixed in with our team.

As for the desire to get rich, the uncle of Daming is definitely unwilling to be seconded. This time, he made up his mind even more, and directly invited the order to follow.

He failed to reap the benefits in Liaodong, this time Zhang Heling decided to do a lot in the northwest.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to take Zhang Heling with him, but he had a queen sister who supported him; moreover, Zhu Houzhao felt that taking Zhang Heling might be useful, at least it would be appropriate for him to take the blame.

The marching speed of the cavalry is very slow, not even as good as that of the pawns, because the horses can't stand it, and they basically have to rest for a day after walking for three days, and they only walk for a few hours a day, and then they have to rest.

Although he wasn't going to fight this time, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to squeeze his horsepower, so he basically walked thirty miles a day. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry and walked forward swaying.

Although walking slowly, as long as you walk forward, the road will naturally come to an end.

On this day, a group of people entered the boundary of Shanxi, outside the city of Guyuan.

For Liao Fan, he was really lucky.

Thinking of Mr. Qin Hong, Liao Fan still feels warm to this day.After arriving in Guyuan, if the old man hadn't treated him like a nephew, taught him constantly, and at the same time recommended him to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise how would he be where he is today?
Governor of Shanxi!
Seeing the obsequiousness of his subordinates around him, Liao Fan knew that he would take a different path this time.

"My lord, the carriage of His Royal Highness is here." The servant of the magistrate's yamen ran over from a distance and said loudly.

Liao Fan was very clear about His Highness the Crown Prince's character. His Highness didn't like civil servants mobilizing the army at will, so Liao Fan didn't mobilize the scouts of the frontier army, but just let the government servants be spies.

At this time, Liao Fan was even more cautious.

For Liao Fan, this will be a turning point in his career. If he does well, he will be able to advance to the center in one step in the future.

As the yamen servant's voice fell, cavalry appeared in the distance.

The black cavalry was very oppressive, and the long knives in their hands were also out of their sheaths.

Although the horse was not fast and did not sprint, even so, the officials in Guyuan still secretly swallowed their saliva.

This is the Black Dragon Guard, the strongest army of the Ming Dynasty!

With Ming's victory over the Tartars in the past few years, the prestige of the Black Dragon Army has spread throughout the border town, and it can be said that everyone knows it.

Especially here in Guyuan, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has staged a performance of five thousand breaking ten thousand, smashing the Tartars on the grassland, surprise attacking Fengzhou beach, beheading and sifting.

All these piles, one by one, are basically going to become legends.

The arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince had already spread throughout Guyuan. Everyone knew that His Highness the Crown Prince was here to make everyone rich. The atmosphere in Guyuan reached its peak in an instant.

The cavalry separated left and right, and then lined up on both sides.

Then came out a group of infantry, all of them were wearing leather armor, with sharp eyes, long knives and short knives hanging on their bodies, and hand crossbows slanted on their backs.

These people are Zhu Houzhao's personal bodyguards. They are not only good at fighting immediately, but also good at foot fighting, even street fighting. This is what Zhu Houzhao trained according to the special forces of later generations.

Unarmed combat, various weapons, proficiency in riding and archery, and tactical thinking are all common, except that there are no firearms. This is a special team with a fixed number of 300 people.

After they stood in line, Zhu Houzhao's car slowly appeared in everyone's sight.

When the car was parked, Liao Fan quickly knelt down and worshiped with his hands.

Zhu Houzhao lifted the curtain of the car to take a look, and then ordered: "Let them all be excused! The army is stationed outside the city, and I will bring people into the city."

Driving into the city, the streets were full of people watching the excitement, many of them came here to see the real face of the prince.For them, His Royal Highness is a legend!
After entering the city, Zhu Houzhao stayed in the hotel that Liao Fan had prepared long ago.

Zhu Houzhao met the officials and generals of Guyuan here, of course, it was just a meeting.

After meeting, Zhu Houzhao left Liao Fan behind.

After looking Liao Fan up and down, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "I haven't seen you in a few years, Ai Qing seems to have lost a lot!"

"Thank you for your concern." Liao Fan said hastily.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and said with a smile: "Although Aiqing has been reduced, Guyuan City has become more prosperous. Aiqing has contributed a lot, and she has done a good job!"

"I just did my duty as a minister." Liao Fan continued modestly.If he is proud at this time, it will be over, and Liao Fan is not stupid.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, almost polite, he asked directly: "Is there someone who wants to buy land in Guyuan?"

Although Guyuan has land, most of it is wasteland. Although it can be reclaimed, the effect will not be very good.

The good fields near the river have been reclaimed long ago, some of them belonged to landlords, some of them were public lands, and the rest were farmed by the army.

Under such circumstances, those who bought the land naturally had ulterior motives.Like later generations, if a place is greatly developed, the land price in this place will definitely rise accordingly.

"Return to Your Highness, there are." Liao Fan quickly bowed and said, "Not only are there, but there are also a lot."
