Chapter 55 Who is a fool

("readerFs").className = "rfs_" + rSetDef()[3]

The soldiers of Yongping Guard had been transferred by the King of Yan, and there were only more than 300 people left to guard the guards.

Zhu Gaoxu retreated to the signing room, while flipping through the messy files, which were all things Jin Zhong gave him before leaving, while asking the generals to think of ways.

At this moment, Liu Ying, a hundred households captured by Xiongxian County, said: "There are some solutions in the end, and I don't know whether to talk about it or not?"

"Liu Baihu just said it's okay." Zhu Gaoxu looked up and said.

Liu Ying clasped his fists and said, "The local military households are usually divided into defense and military farming, and there are systems for regular rounds of guarding. In recent years, the military office system is dull and no one will make rules until the time limit of the round. The King of Yan raised his army and everything was in a hurry. It may have just transferred the guards and military households who were busy farming everywhere should still be there."

"Oh!" Zhu Gaoxu suddenly realized and slapped his head, "If it weren't for Liu Baihu's reminder, I would have forgotten this."

Zhu Gaoxu immediately asked Hou Hai to check Yongpingwei's bookmaking files to see if the people who were in the farm were still there. After waiting for a long time, Hou Hai entered the signing room and confirmed Liu Ying's guess.

Liu Ying then made another suggestion: "King Gaoyang ordered the military farming generals to gather troops to report to the Acropolis in the name of preparing for the border. The military households are not rich. If the prince can get some money from the Yongping Treasury to reward it, this matter will be safer. When the soldiers arrive at the Acropolis, will they prepare for the border and how to call it? Is it the prince who has the final say?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu kept nodding, and immediately patted the table and said, "Wei Qianhu, you can take the list of Yongping Guard Generals and handle this matter immediately."

Veda stood up, held his fists and saluted, "Get orders!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and asked Veda to do that immediately. He was still busy identifying the files in his hand and what were useful. He was doing this early in the morning.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu put a small stack of paper forward and turned to look at Liu Ying, "You stay, everything else is gone."

All the generals bowed and said, "The last general will leave."

Only Liu Ying was left standing there waiting. Zhu Gaoxu looked at him again, "I will arrange something for Liu Baihu. Here are some drawings from the north, you can take them. Then go to each battalion to select skilled and clever soldiers and form a sentry. Find a way to find a few locals, follow the paths drawn on the picture, and find out the terrain near Daning City."

Liu Ying took two steps forward, picked up the stack of paper, clasped her fists and said, "I will obey the order."

Zhu Gaoxu thought for a while and reminded: "I looked at these pictures and could cross the Great Wall from Liujiakou. After Liu Baihu came back, he would draw a few pictures according to the actual terrain and then talk to me."

"Get orders!"

...A few days later, Veda found military generals in the garrison and gathered more than 2,000 people one after another. Zhu Gaoxu had no military generals, so he directly asked Veda to take charge of the military power of the two garrison teams as Qianhu; the deputy generals of Qianhu and Baihu all used military generals in the garrison. If the military generals were not enough, they would promote them one by one according to their plans.

The system of the Ming Dynasty vassal office is the same, but the organization will be similar after being organized into an army. Generally, the general's habit of using troops is slightly different.

After discussing with the generals, Zhu Gaoxu generally organized a reorganization of the army according to the garrison. A small flag of ten people, a general flag of fifty-six people, a team of more than one hundred people, a team of more than three hundred people, a team of thousands of people, a team of more than one thousand people... There is nothing novel or inappropriate.

The newly recruited military households were all infantry, and the cavalry had already gone to Peking with the banner of "Fengtian Jingnan".

Zhu Gaoxu asked Veda and the military generals of the various garrisons to be responsible for the training of newly gathered personnel and report to the military supplies; he also wrote a letter to ask someone to take him to the government office to find the prefect to prepare military salaries and food.

The prefect soon came to cry and became poor, so Zhu Gaoxu had to bargain with him again, and then wrote to nearby prefectures and counties to ask for money and grain using the seal of Yongpingwei and King Gaoyang.

... Looking from the Yongping City Tower, you can roughly observe that the terrain here is gradually uneven. There are dark shadows of mountains in the west, and the terrain in the south of the city is even more undulating and cannot be seen endlessly.

Liu Ying, a hundred households, has returned, presented the map, and talked with Zhu Gaoxu for a long time. The guards were dozens of steps away, and only Zhu Gaoxu and Liu Ying were talking here.

At this time, Zhu Gaoxu patted Liu Ying on the shoulder and said, "Liu Baihu, do you want to be a thousand-house?"

"The most general..." Liu Ying looked embarrassed, "The most general still thought about it."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at him and nodded, "My subordinates now lack generals. I don't know most of the generals of Yongpingwei, but Liu Baihu is talented. I have wanted to promote you for a long time, but you surrendered for a while and then became a thousand households at once, for fear that the generals would say I was unfair."

Liu Ying nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, I will understand the prince's difficulties."

"But I still want to promote you." Zhu Gaoxu changed his tone.

"Ah?" Liu Ying raised her head.

Zhu Gaoxu patted his shoulder twice and said in a deep voice: "I received news from the Yan Palace that the court summoned King Liao, and King Ning led his troops to retreat from the sea. The King of Liao was already preparing for the itinerary, but King Ning still did not move. What was King Ning thinking?"

Liu Ying thought for a long time and said, "He wants to ride a fence and watch?"

Zhu Gaoxu refused to comment: "I don't know very well, I should have thought a lot."

Liu Ying: “…”

Zhu Gaoxu said again: "King Ning held heavy troops in his hand. Now the King of Yan and the court dared not touch him. He was so confident and probably had already considered it. So I guess he thought a lot."

The imperial court has made a general strategy to reduce the vassals. King Ning knew that he would be reduced to the vassals when he returned, so of course he was unwilling to accept it. However, it is too risky to directly join the King of Yan. No one is optimistic about King of Yan. King Ning accidentally lost his throne and his life would be lost.

After hearing this, Liu Ying nodded and said yes.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the dark mountain shadow in the sky and sighed, "Uncle Seventeen is so sensible! But his approach is indeed very effective. Now whoever dares to touch him will be fool..."

Liu Ying pondered: "What the prince said is very true. Whoever moves Prince Ning first will push him to the other side."

Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said, "So the best way now is to wait for the other party to move first... However, there are so many people in the court, and everyone cannot be fools. The court can afford to wait, so that King Ning will not move! King Ning just needs to keep his troops in motion, which is a hidden danger in Peking. Even I can easily think of it. There must be many people in the court who want to get it."

He thoughtfully said, "If you treat everyone as a fool, you may find that you are a fool in the end."

"The prince's words are profound." Liu Ying said with emotion.

The two of them were silent for a long time, and Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned his head: "But we still have to do something, it's okay to try it. You and Veda do this. If it is done, I will remember you a great merit! In this way, I can come to the King of Yan to ask for merit for you and promote you to a thousand households."

"Please give me the order, even if it's a sea of ​​swords and fire, I'll do it too!" Liu Ying said impatiently.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and let him hear him, and spoke.
