"I think it is obvious that if the court can win this decisive battle in Wuchang, the overall situation has been decided..."

Shi Kefa first explained the importance of the Battle of Wuchang. Just as he said, the Qing court dismissed a large number of troops.

If the victory of the Wuchang Battle can be won, the Qing court will lose the ability to attack the south, and all the initiative will be returned to the Southern Ming court in the next series of battles.

Zhang Shenyan and others also frowned. They naturally knew the importance of the Battle of Wuchang. As soon as Shi Kefa said this, Zhang Shenyan understood what it meant. Shi Kefa must have thought about it from a purely military perspective.

Although Ye Yun had won the victory, he was slightly inadequate in all aspects, especially in commanding a battle of hundreds of thousands of troops, so he still had to be able to hold back his position. Moreover, the symbolic nature of the crown prince was extraordinary.

The Huguang area has always been under the rule of the court, and it has a strong sense of identity with the court. It is not clear where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrives.

It can be said that it has a great promoting effect on shaking the rule of Zuo Liangyu and his son, so Zhu Cixuan's visit this time is really not a decoration.

On Zhu Cixuan's side, in addition to the above reasons, Zhu Cixuan also received another task in the system.

That is, after visiting the battlefield in person, Zhu Cilang can unlock a new weapon.

As for what weapon it is, the system has not written out that it is gray, but no matter what weapon it is, it has surpassed this era for a long time.

Therefore, Zhu Cilang must go with the army.

"Since that's the case, the old ministers will go together."

Seeing that there was no way to stop the Prince of Crown Prince, Zhang Shenyan repeated the old tune, and last time he let Shi Kefa take the initiative, so this time Zhang Shenyan would never miss this opportunity and was preparing to follow the Prince of Crown Prince.

Zhu Ciyang frowned when he heard this. The civil and military officials of the court were headed by Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan. Shi Kefa must be in front of the army. If Zhang Shenyan is taken away again, who should the court leave these trivial matters?

Although Zhang Shenyan is usually quite old-fashioned, everything in the court was running in an orderly manner during Zhu Cixuan's Northern Expedition. If Zhang Shenyan had not been in charge of Nanjing, some things would have been really not easy to deal with.

"Mr. Zhang can understand the center of my house, but the money and food that is fought in war must be sent from Jiangnan. If Mr. Zhang goes to Wuchang with me, who should I hand over this matter to?"

The last time I talked about this issue, Zhu Cixuan said the same thing.

Zhu Cilang knew that Zhang Shenyan took the overall situation into consideration. Although it was an old tradition, Zhang Shenyan still did not dare to delay some of the matters in the court, so Zhu Cilang thought that after he said these words, Zhang Shenyan would definitely give in.

Who would have expected this time...

"If you go back to the Crown Prince, Cao Renli, the Chief Executive of the Office of the Internal Affairs, and Hou Fangyu, the head of the Lifan Academy, can take on this important task!"

Zhang Shenyan did not answer the question as Zhu Cilang thought, but immediately recommended two people to Zhu Cilang. Zhu Cilang was a little puzzled at this time.

You should know that the Donglin Party and the eunuch have always been in opposition. It is reasonable for Zhang Shenyan to recommend Hou Fangyu, but if he recommends Cao Renli, it would be too unbelievable.

Not only Zhu Cixuan couldn't believe this, but also everyone in the audience looked at Zhang Shenyan in surprise.

What's going on with Lord Zhang? Didn't you take medicine when you went out today?

Although Hou Fangyu was a bit arbitrary in his work, he was a scholar no matter what. Cao Renli was a complete eunuch. Even if he was by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he would not be able to escape the reputation of the eunuch party.

Looking at the past few hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party and the eunuchs have always been incompatible, and both sides have the upper hand.

But as long as one of them has the upper hand, he will immediately kill the other party, and there is no room for reversal, let alone recommend the other party.

Zhu Cilang looked at Cao Renli standing next to him. Zhu Cilang has always believed in doing things very much.

During the period when he took over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he did a very good job, but if he wanted to hand over the logistics of the army to Cao Renli, Zhu Cixuan would probably still be a little unbelievable.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have something to report."

Some people say that Hou Fangyu is a roundworm in the belly of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Hou Fangyu did not refute after hearing this. At this moment, Zhu Cixuan also wanted to see what the roundworm wanted to say.

"allow."

"I started the report of His Highness the Crown Prince. Weichen and the Dutch East India Company have just decided on the trade charter and are about to set off for Guangdong. It is not that Weichen does not want to take over the army, but it is really the things in the hands of Weichen..."

This roundworm is really good. Hou Fangyu quickly figured it out. Zhang Shenyan is strictly considered a good official, but he is too old-fashioned in doing things.

Some of the matters of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are too novel. If Zhang Shenyan is brought by his side, he will probably be uncomfortable in all kinds of things.

What's more, what Hou Fangyu is doing is extremely important. When trading with the East India Company in the future, all the goods will be shipped from Guangdong and Nanjing, which can save transportation distances from all over the country, so Hou Fangyu is really unable to leave.

If someone else was going to do this, who should I change?

Thinking of those monkeys with big noses and the ministers within the court were unwilling to deal with them, thinking that it was a disrespect, so Hou Fangyu really couldn't leave.

"Even so, Lord Zhang still has to take on this responsibility for the supervision of military rations. Cao Renli will co-organize it. Follow Lord Zhang to study hard, and don't lose face in this palace."

Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and this matter is over. Zhu Cixuan doesn’t care whether you are a eunuch or not. As long as you can do things for the Ming Dynasty, you will naturally be able to support you.

Moreover, Zhang Shenyan is old and Zhu Cilang's future talent and strategy still require the army to dispatch many parties, so it is time to train a new successor.

Cao Renli is in his prime and doing this is really good. As for corruption and dirty things, Zhu Cilang has nothing to worry about.

The people you exchanged for are already doing their jobs in various important positions. If you dare to reach out, you can reach Zhu Cixuan's table in less than three days.

At that time, we will see if your neck is hard or the imperial court's dog head gate is hard...
