Chapter 674 Take over the Western Regions
The handover between Zheng Sen and Huang Degong was still very complete. The two quickly completed the handover between Anxi Protectorate, so Zheng Sen would not stay here for more.
The most important thing is that Zheng Sen stayed here and Huang Degong could not get into the role. All the troops under his command were Zheng Sen's elite, and Zheng Sen only took away part of them.
If Zheng Sen continued to stay here, the two senior officials of the old and new would ask the people below to think too much about doing things, so on the third day of Huang Degong, Zheng Sen was already taking people to set off.
"General Zheng is going well here!"
Headed by Zhu Runjiu, hundreds of officers from above and below knelt on one knee to see their elders off at the same time.
"My brothers, please come up and drink this glass of wine together. I wish you all the best to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and share the worries of His Highness the Crown Prince."
All that should be said has been said, and there is no need for Zheng Sen to stay here. After drinking two bowls of wine with his brothers, Zheng Sen took his escort to the road.
Huang Degong could see that although Zheng Sen was young, he definitely had a good opponent's army, and he could also see the strength of Zhu Runjiu and others.
It is impossible to have a good background to make these people respect themselves so much. This requires real strength.
At the same time, Huang Degong also felt a certain difficulty. It was not easy for him to bring these people out, and he had to put in more effort.
These people are not new recruits, and their combat effectiveness is strong enough, but they also have their own cognition. If we don’t have that ability, don’t expect these meritorious generals to be loyal to themselves.
"Don't be restrained by all generals. We will keep some of General Zheng's rules now. I personally may be different from General Zheng's methods of doing things, but to put it bluntly, we are all our own brothers. If you have any questions, I will just talk about them here. Anxi Protectorate Mansion will rely on you."
From Huang Degong's words, the following people think they are different from Zheng Sen, mainly because of their different educational levels.
However, in the army, Huang Degong is still more popular than Zheng Sen. If a general is always polite, the following people still don’t understand it, so everyone likes Huang Degong’s way of speaking more.
If you look at Huang Degong's sect, they will be even more satisfied.
He stepped on one foot on the stool and leaned lazily on the back of the chair. Anyway, he just did whatever he felt comfortable.
It turns out that when General Zheng was in office, everyone must sit upright. If someone dared to do this, General Zheng's board would be immediately hit.
General Zheng has always strictly demanded his subordinates, so when they saw Huang Degong's behavior, they were really uncomfortable.
However, one general has the only way to lead the general, and they can adapt to the general's leadership, not to mention that this is not a big deal.
"General Zhu, in the future, the Anxi Protectorate will be the two of us. I am a rough man. If there is anything wrong, General Zhu will have to remind him quickly. It doesn't matter if anything happens to us. It can be remedied. But if this matter is exposed to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, not only is my face not good-looking, but your old Zhu's face may not look good either."
Huang Degong used tea instead of wine, and first had a drink with Zhu Runjiu next to him.
Zhu Runjiu was just promoted, and was personally approved by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Everyone present was envious, but they all understood that Zhu Runjiu's position was fought with his head.
All the battles of all sizes in the Western Regions were fought by others, so why can’t we have the position we are today? If we want to be promoted, we have to work hard on the battlefield.
Now Zhu Runjiu is almost a legendary figure in the entire army. His family has no foundation. He relies solely on his bravery in fighting on the battlefield that the Crown Prince noticed him. So now he is the deputy archer of the Anxi Protectorate, and he can be said to have reached the sky.
"Please rest assured General Huang, all of our brothers are on the battlefield, and everyone will never be told if they have orders."
With Zhu Runjiu's voice, the people present stood up neatly and drank a cup of tea with General Huang. This was also the order of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. No matter where he was, drinking in the meeting hall would never be allowed.
From their uniformity, Huang Degong also saw that the elite of these people had really picked up treasures. Although he had also trained the army in Nanjing, it was indeed a world of difference compared to the people under him.
Zheng Sen is a young boy and is really good at these things, which also makes Huang Degong very satisfied.
"Then let's talk less. When the serious matter comes, the Crown Prince has already said that the Anxi Protectorate's Mansion belongs to us from Jiayuguan. The size of the Anxi Protectorate belongs to us. The size of the battle can be fought as big as possible. The generals will be enfeoffed to various places soon. If anyone wants greater power and greater territory, then we must plan it."
Huang Degong's words also mobilized everyone's enthusiasm. They were all stubborn donkeys on the battlefield, and no one was willing to let their territory be reduced.
But the Seven Guards of Guanxi are just like this. Even if they go all out, their subordinates don’t have much territory. So there is a practical situation in front of everyone. If they want to control the vast area, they must continue to fight.
"General Huang, brothers are never afraid of war. As long as it is the Crown Prince's referee, brothers can immediately rush forward, but this logistics supply problem..."
What Zhu Runjiu said is the truth. When they attacked Shazhouwei, they did not use too many troops. If these people now led their troops to conquer cities and land, it would have been a brilliant thing for the Ming Dynasty.
But the question is how to ensure their logistics in this state? According to their current situation, they can guarantee 30,000 people to fight on the grassland, which is already their limit.
Seeing other people, Huang Degong knew that this problem must be solved first. If it cannot be solved, they may have to move forward slowly. How can this work for Huang Degong?
I travel thousands of miles a day on other battlefields, but I only have a small city a month. Doesn’t this seem to be incompetent? How can I think of us when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is granting his title in the future?
