Chapter 485: Out of town, New Liaodong
"The prince and king of Liaodong, Zhu Changluo, was ordered to be the general manager of Liaodong. He would lead the Yulin Guards out to control Liaodong and take charge of all military and civilian affairs in Liaodong, Nuergandusi and the three Han territories. The champion prince Wang Bing would serve as his deputy and cooperate with the prince..."
In early March of the 22nd year of Wanli, when the entire land of Liaodong and Nuergandusi was getting warmer, the imperial edict to recover Nuergandusi was finally officially issued, with Prince Zhu Changluo as commander-in-chief and Wang Bing as deputy.
Of course, the prince Zhu Changluo is only the coach in name only, and Wang Bing is actually the one who really calls the shots.
"Your Majesty, the prince is the crown prince of the country and the foundation of a country. If he leaves the capital rashly, I'm afraid..."
When the little fat man gave the crown prince Zhu Changluo the title of 'King of Liaodong', most of the ministers thought it was just a false title. So although they were surprised, they didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, everyone discovered that the emperor, Little Fatty, was ready to play it serious, so for a while, many civil servants stood up to express their opposition.
"Haha, in the past, Emperor Taizu sent princes and princes to inspect places and observe the sufferings of the people. Why, I am still wrong in following Emperor Taizu's system? Or, it doesn't matter that you trapped me in the capital, you still want to
Trapped the prince as well?"
After sweeping away the civil servants who stood up to oppose the throne, the little fat man couldn't help but smile coldly.
"I don't dare! I just..."
Seeing that the little fat man had brought all Taizu's ancestral products and said such heart-wrenching words, all the civil servants who stood up to oppose him immediately became mute and softened.
"The prince will inherit the throne in the future. If he doesn't know the sufferings of the people, how can he govern this huge country? There is no need to talk about the prince's departure to Liaodong this time!"
Seeing that these people's tone softened, the little fat man who originally thought of taking the opportunity to hold another Meridian Gate public trial couldn't help but feel secretly 'disappointed' at this moment.
Speaking of which, it has been a long time since the Meridian Gate Structural Staff was changed to the Meridian Gate Public Trial at the suggestion of Wang Bing during the "Love Seizing" incident.
There is no way, the current Meridian Gate public trial is no better than the stick stick in the past. Not only can't you win a clear name, but you will also lose your reputation.
Therefore, except for the few people who were involved in the "love-stealing" incident, no one has dared to do this for more than ten years. After all, the price paid is too high, and the gain is completely disproportionate to the effort. Who can
would be so stupid.
Then, on the third day after the little fat man gave the order, the Yulin Guards who had been prepared for a long time immediately left the capital with Zhu Changluo, the Crown Prince, and headed to Liaodong again. By the way, they also brought back Wang Bing.
The dozens of new Japanese kings were sent back.
…
"Grand Master, the terrain of Crow Falcon Pass is so dangerous, why are there only a few people stationed there now?"
When the Yulin Guard army passed through Crow Falcon Pass, a former important town, and saw that there were only two Liaodong Army troops of one hundred households stationed in the entire pass, Zhu Changluo, the crown prince who was stepping out of the capital for the first time, suddenly couldn't help but look puzzled.
"Haha, Your Highness the Crown Prince, this Crow Falcon Pass was originally built to protect against the Jurchens. Now most of the Jurchens in Jianzhou have moved to Kyushu Island in Japan, and the rest, like the four Haixi tribes, have also become the imperial court.
Naturally, there is no need to deploy so many troops to defend a guard post where the people are all registered!"
Hearing Zhu Changluo's question, when he first came to Crow Falcon Pass, Li Zunzu, who was unwilling to defend the city here, rushed to speak out the answer.
In fact, since the four Haixi tribes were conquered and the Jianzhou Guards were 'exiled' by the Wang Bingju clan, border castles in Liaodong such as Crow Falcon Pass have lost their original defensive significance.
Of course, these border castles will not all be abandoned. After all, this is not a traditional inland province, and it is still necessary to maintain the necessary military strength to deter. Moreover, when immigrants arrive in the future, these places can also be used as the basis for the development of towns.
And not only these Guancheng fortresses, but also the original Jurchen fortresses, Wang Bing did not plan to destroy them as he did during the Chenghua period, but also planned to turn them into future Han urban settlements.
"I see!"
Seeing that this originally important border town has now become an "inland" guard station, His Royal Highness Zhu Changluo couldn't help but shake his head with emotion.
…
"Li Chengming, take the three thousand Yulinwei brothers to exchange for Ye Yanggu and Hawu. By the way, send the new Japanese kings there and let the Royal Navy send them back home!"
After leaving Crow Falcon Pass and arriving at Foala, the original Jianzhou Wei Lao Camp, Wang Bing did not continue to order the army to go north, but asked Li Chengming to replace Ye Yanggu and other Haixi Four Guards.
"In addition, you and Wu Youren should handle the 'matter' over there as soon as possible, so that His Highness the Crown Prince's side can also make arrangements easily!"
Finally, before Li Chengming left, Wang Bing said another sentence.
"Taifu, aren't we going to recover Nuer Gandusi? Why..."
Seeing that Wang Bing did not mention the matter of recovering Nuergandusi at all, but instead made arrangements for the former North Korea, Zhu Changluo, who originally thought that he could finally go to the battlefield, couldn't help but asked anxiously.
"Although the land of Nuer Gandusi is only occupied by some barbarians, the Yulin Guards are not familiar with the terrain, so it is not too late to send troops after the four Haixi Guards return!"
In fact, with the combat power of the Yulin Guards, some barbarians, Wang Bing, would really not take it seriously if they were to fight head-on.
But although these barbarians are called "savages," they are still humans, not animals. Who can fight you head-on when you know you can't win?
Therefore, in order to avoid fighting guerrilla warfare with these "savages", Wang Bing planned to transfer back the troops of the Haixi Four Guards who were familiar with the terrain and send troops together with the Yulin Guards.
"What's more, the purpose of your trip is not to fight, but to consider how to govern this place!"
Finally, looking at Zhu Changluo who looked impatient, Wang Bing reminded him again.
"Ah? Master..."
Hearing what Wang Bing said, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but grimace.
"Ah, what, you kid, really think that your father asked you to come to fight? Didn't you see that your more than 300 East Palace officials also came with you this time, haha!"
Seeing Zhu Changluo with a bitter face, Wang Bing immediately shattered his dream of being a 'general'.
In fact, if this time he had not fought against these barbarians in the mountains and forests, Wang Bing would not have stopped this little guy. After all, a future emperor who knows how to fight is not a bad thing for the generals and the country.
However, there are too many uncertainties in this kind of mountain warfare. So just in case, Wang Bing had no choice but to give up the idea.
"Well, after the Liaodong matter is settled, how about we go hunting on the grassland?"
Finally, seeing the depressed look on the little guy's face, Wang Bing finally drew a big cake for him.
"Do you really mean what you said, Master?"
Zhu Changluo, who was originally looking depressed, immediately became energetic again after hearing Wang Bing talk about going to the grassland to 'hunt'.
