Six hundred and ninetieth chapters soldiers enter Huguang
Princess Xinzheng is smart, so of course he knows what Zhu Cilang means. Don’t laugh at him when he is drunk on the battlefield. How many people have returned from war in ancient times? Du Zhongren is a talented person, but he is fighting on the battlefield. Who can guarantee that he can come back alive?
Princess Xinzheng was mentally prepared for this. She looked up and said, "If he died in battle, I will not live alone!"
Looking at her infatuated daughter, Princess Zhou couldn't help but shivered. King Zhu Gongzi wanted to speak but stopped, and in the end he just sighed helplessly.
Zhu Cilang was very happy. He laughed and said to King Zhu Gongzi of Zhou, "Uncle, you have raised a good daughter."
Zhu Cixuan didn't want to ask too much about the relationship between children and their children. The army of the 12th Regiment Battalion was about to set off and rushed to Huguang to collect the land of Huguang.
Zhu Cixuan did not let Zuo Liangyu take charge of Henan, but handed over the military and political affairs of Henan to Hongniangzi and Li Yan and his wife.
This move was unanimously opposed by the court officials. In terms of qualifications and credit, Zuo Liangyu had to be the governor of Henan and was in charge of the military and political power of a province.
Hong Niangzi was the governor of Henan and Li Yan was the governor. To put it bluntly, the military and political power of the province was handed over to their husbands.
Why do you do this? In fact, Zhu Cilang is also helpless. Just like Shanxi, local generals can only seize military and political power. Only in this way can they let go of their hands and feet when they are in charge of the party.
Doing so can be avoided by many rules. You can do it with great force. For example, when destroying bandits, you can eliminate them without any obstacles.
The Shanxi model is the best example. The bandits in Shanxi are almost extinct. Instead, they are generals who have self-respecting troops from all over the country.
Of course, there are both advantages and disadvantages in doing so. The advantage is that it can defeat the bandits in the province. The disadvantages are also very great, which is that it causes generals from all over the country to gain self-reality and no longer take the imperial court seriously.
The vassal states and separatist princes that appeared in history were not what the kings wanted to see. The kings were not fools, so why not eat meat minced after all?
But why the emperors of all generations are prone to this situation when they are passed down to later generations? It is because of the two words, helplessness.
Of course, it is not without meeting a lord of revival who is unparalleled and pulling back the dynasty that is about to collapse from the brink of death.
Most of the time, the warlord separatism at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the separatist separatism at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the seven kingdoms in the Western Han Dynasty, and the eight kings in the Western Jin Dynasty, all had historical necessities.
Zhu Cixuan wanted to do this, of course he didn't want to. But if he didn't do this, the bandits in Shanxi and Henan would not be able to be eliminated. At that time, the court would be dragged to death, and the court would be unable to deal with these rampant bandits.
Sometimes drinking poison to quench thirst may not be a temporary solution. No matter what, kill the bandits first. It is not too late to wait until the central army in the capital recovers, and then slowly deal with these generals who are self-respecting.
Although it tastes like killing a donkey, history is so cruel. Unless you are smart, just like Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty, who releases military power by cup of wine. A minister is smart enough, he should remove the military power early to live up to his old age.
If you are greedy for power, you will not let go. By then, Zhu Cilang can only deal with them one by one.
Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had few heroic officials in his life. But he was still considered a wise hero. It is not that Zhu Yuanzhang was brutal and among his brothers who conquered the world, those who knew the current affairs had a good end.
Of course, it is still a bit far away to say this now. He must be very unhappy if Zuo Liangyu didn't let him rule Henan. He even complained about the court and Zhu Cilang.
However, Zuo Liangyu is now like a toothless tiger. The elite troops in his hands have been lost in the battle of Kaifeng defense. Even if he is dissatisfied with the court, it would be helpless.
Zhu Cilang did not go too far. He allocated Zhangde Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion and Weihui Mansion to Zuo Liangyu for management. Most of Henan was under the rule of Hongniangzi and Li Yan.
In the hands of loyal ministers, taking charge of military and political power can enable them to let go and govern the local area with peace of mind. Zhu Cilang is relieved to Hong Niangzi and Li Yan.
Don't worry, it doesn't mean you won't be wary. If you want to be a prince and a future king, you won't be wary of him at all. This is also one of the ways to be a prince.
The army set out, and this time there was no drag on the slightest. With the previous precedent of war, Zhu Cixuan already knew how to deal with the bandits.
To be honest, Zhu Cilang is not a qualified commander. He is not good at commanding an army, but he can command large corps to fight.
For example, he once suffered a great loss in Qi County with the Hu Ben Army. In terms of the command ability of an army, he was even inferior to those generals of the 12th Regiment Battalion.
However, he is more good at commanding large-scale battles like the 12th Regiment Battalion. These large corps fight rely on the cooperation of a group of troops and control of the entire battle situation.
Li Zicheng suffered a great loss, and the troops of the 12th Regiment Battalion entered Huguang and fought for only one time. Li Zicheng deployed the bandits in Junxian, Laohekou, Yingshan and Shuangshan Pass, and were easily defeated by the 12th Regiment Battalion.
Even the bandits do not even have the ability to fight back.
It’s not that the bandits cannot fight, but that the cooperation of the 12th Regiment Battalion is really perfect. Zhu Cilang strictly ordered all the battalions to not be greedy for merit and advance recklessly. The 12th Regiment Battalion’s strategy of steady progress, advances in one step and helps each other.
Before the war, he repeatedly said that no matter what excellent fighter plane appeared, he should not be greedy for merit and advance. The 12th Regiment Battalion must cooperate with each other to fight, such as the Danyong Camp in danger, the Guoyong Camp and the Xiaoyong Camp can all provide assistance at any time. The Guyong Camp faces too many strong enemies, and the Yangwei Camp and the Zhenwei Camp can quickly surround the left and right wings.
There are also many powerful generals in the bandits, but they are in a mess with the cooperation of various troops. No matter how you can fight, you can't beat four hands with two fists. The Ming army officers and soldiers may not have an advantage in their strength, but their individual combat capabilities are strong, and their weapons and logistics supplies are not comparable to those of the bandits.
After all, the orthodox world today is still from the Ming Dynasty. The war is not only about military affairs, but also about comprehensive national strength.
For example, Liu Laifu, the quarconian officer, continuously transported the food from the Huangzhuang to the front line, providing sufficient logistical support for the 12th Regiment Battalion. The food from the Huangzhuang was not enough, and there was also a land in the south of the Yangtze River.
Rice and grain were allocated from Jiangnan, and the northwest was dark and dark. The rich land in Jiangnan could still take a breath. Moreover, the power of the small glaciers had relatively little influence in Jiangnan.
What are the bandits? Li Zicheng seemed to have nothing but robbery. Especially when he fought a war of attrition, he was almost at a loss.
