The last time Zhu Cixuan made a northern expedition, he was completely simple and he started with the army, so Zhu Cixuan did not pay attention to this.

This time it was different. Everything was formulated based on the rules of His Royal Highness inspecting all directions, so the number of people was naturally a little higher.

Zhu Cixuan had agreed before, so he could not give any further discounts on this matter. Moreover, after Shandong's victory, many people also felt that it would be necessary to do this so that the imperial court would be majestic.

Zhu Cixuan has always been reluctant to do face, but in this situation, face is also a must.

This is not just the face of His Royal Highness, but also the face of the entire court.

"Your Highness, you see it is so happy!"

Zhu Cixuan was preparing for some battles, and Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan came to the study room with the report in their hands.

"The two adults are rarely so harmonious. Where do you come from?"

Zhu Cixuan's paintings also made the two of them look a little unfavorable. The two of them are over 100 years old, but they can't talk about all kinds of issues together. However, today, the two are standing in the same position.

"Report to His Highness the Crown Prince, after we sent the court to the court, several cities east of Wuchang City sent envoys to General Ye Yun's military camp to express their surrender. Now Zuo Liangyu and his son can only occupy a few cities around Wuchang City, which is more than half smaller than the original control range."

No wonder the two were so happy. After they spread the news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince inspected Huguang, all the seven cities that originally belonged to Zuo Liangyu surrendered to the court.

This can also be said to be the effect of the brand.

When His Highness the Crown Prince made a northern expedition, no one thought that His Highness would return victoriously.

They thought that being able to defend Xuzhou was already a boastful credit. Who knew that His Royal Highness did not think about defending Xuzhou at the beginning, but instead led his men directly over Xuzhou and headed north.

At that time, many people had a failure idea, believing that His Royal Highness's move was too much. If it failed, the Qing army would be able to reach Nanjing directly.

Who knew that what they were worried about did not happen? Not to mention Nanjing, even Xuzhou did not see a trace of enemies. Instead, they won a great victory in Shandong, which means that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will fight.

Before, Ye Yun, a general, was able to take down the important town of Jiujiang. Now, His Highness, the Crown Prince, personally inspected Huguang. If he did not surrender quickly, would you like to follow Zuo Liangyu and his son to the Heavenly Prison together?

"These people are so obedient. They are kept for the time being. But they must send exclusive personnel from the court to take over the counties where they are located. After the war is over, they will evaluate according to their performance. Those who have made contributions to the war can naturally stay in office. If they are swaying from side to side, they will find a free job for them and transfer them from the local area."

Zhu Cilang naturally has no good impression of these fence-bearing masters. Take some of the chief executives of these cities for example. When Zuo Liangyu rebelled earlier, you people didn't even make a fuck.

Of course, it is mainly because every city has troops stationed, and the generals in the army are all the hardcore Zuo Liangyu and his son.

Now, in order to consolidate Wuchang's city defense, Zuo Menggeng mobilized most of his troops around Wuchang City, so these people had a certain amount of freedom.

In addition, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally supervised the battle, and these people immediately became weak in their calves, so it was very normal for them to do such a move.

Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan both nodded. They didn't value these fencemen. The court must have a solid foundation, so these people must not be asked for.

When Zhu Cixuan entered Nanjing, many people also advocated leaving some of Zhu Yousong and Ma Shiying, after all, they are numerous.

If all of them are removed, it is likely to cause political instability.

But at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also opposed the opposition and reduced most of them openly and secretly. Although there was a certain political crisis at that time, isn’t it all over now?

Therefore, Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan also learned that they could not delay their work, so they had to cut it off with one knife, otherwise there would be more trouble in the future.

"Since they all say they can fund the front line, we will just go down and arrange a certain amount of average amount for each city to see who can arrive at the front line."

Zhu Cixuan casually looked through these memorials, and most of them said they could support the front line.

Zhu Cixuan will try them now. Don’t think that if you touch your upper lips and lower lips, this matter will be over. The current imperial court is about seeking truth from facts, and the exaggeration of the past will never exist.

Shi Kefa and Zhang Shenyan smiled bitterly from the side. It seemed that adults in various cities thought that the court was still the same as before, just to have a face.

They are not offending each other now. On the one hand, they send surrender to the court, and on the other hand, they are in a relationship with Zuo Menggeng. After the war in Wuchang, they can continue to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

But they did not expect that His Highness the Crown Prince was a practical man. Since you had already said in the memorial that you could support the front line, you had to do it. On the one hand, it could save the resources of the court, and on the other hand, it also allowed these people to break up with Zuo Menggeng.

If Zuo Menggeng knew about these people, and had used military rations and errands to support the court's army, how could Zuo Menggeng tolerate these people?

At that time, there will be only one way for them to walk, that is, follow the imperial court one way to the darkness.

Zhu Cilang saw the tricks of these people very clearly. The era of just talking nonsense is over.

Through these people, Zhu Cilang also lets the officials in the world see clearly what they used to make and no longer apply to the current court. If you still want to continue to use the previous survival rules, you will only lose a lot.

"Your Highness, what if they did what you said?"

Zhang Shenyan raised another question. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just considered that these people were not stolen, what if there were one or two loyal ministers?

"Then let them stay and let internal officials observe them carefully. If it is indeed possible in three years, you can be promoted according to the rules of other ordinary officials."

Zhu Cilang said casually, and Zhang Shenyan also breathed a sigh of relief.

Those who are emperors will have a broad mind.

His Highness the Crown Prince does not hold grudges, and everything is based on people's livelihood, which is actually a blessing for the Ming Dynasty.
