Chapter 347 Active training in various border towns

"In Liaodong competition, outstanding people have been on duty for two years in the West Factory? This is quite fair. Now, who doesn't want to go to the West Factory for two years? There is really a lot of oil and water. The key is that you don't have to lick blood on the tip of the knife. I originally wanted to send someone to the capital to take a walk. Can I let my He family servants go to the West Factory for two years? Unexpectedly, when the court has done this, I will tell my men to practice now, sleep half an hour less in the morning, practice riding for a little more, feed the horses, and prepare for the next competition. No one is allowed to be lazy, otherwise, I will smash his butt!"

After learning about the latest imperial decree of the court, He Shixian, the general of Chenyang, began to ask his servants to strengthen their training.

Coincidentally.

Zhao Shujiao, the general of Xuanfu, who had been in the West Factory, also gathered all his servants, and personally conveyed the order. Then he shouted with a big throat: "Have you heard it clearly for me? I still want to go back to the West Factory to live the previous days. Next, I will practice it for me to hurry up!"

Shanhaiguan General Man Gui also instructed his servants: "You have been on duty in the West Factory before, and you have all made a fortune. In addition, now the court has given enough food and supplies, you are all a little lazy and have started to gain weight. When you encounter the Tartars attack, you are unwilling to go out of the city to chase them. Don't think that I don't know. Next, no one is allowed to slack off again, otherwise I will cut him first! Don't wait until the time comes, when the towns compete, we are the worst. At that time, you are shameless and I am shameless!"

In short, when Zhu Youxiao asked the towns to send elite troops to Liaodong for martial arts, the border generals of the Ming Dynasty began to torture their servants desperately as if they were injected with chicken blood.

Some people really want to stay in the West Factory for two years.

Some people want to show themselves, after all, everyone knows that if anyone performs well in this kind of thing, they will be able to be simplified by the Emperor's heart.

The method that Yuan Keli made suggestions was indeed very constructive, and it was much more meaningful than a purely echoing emperor like Han.

In the past, it was not easy to get the Ming army to strengthen training, just as it was to let scholars study more and not go to brothels to play around.

After all, laziness and the pursuit of pleasure are human nature.

But now these officers and soldiers from all towns in the Ming Dynasty have motivation.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao intends to attend this kind of competition in person, that is, military competition.

As for why?

First, it is March of the sixth year of the Apocalypse. Although Zhu Youxiao has not fallen into the water as in history, he remembers that in May of this year, a major case involving the safety of the emperor and the emperor's heirs will occur in history.

Therefore, he decided to leave the capital for a while. No matter whether the unsolved mystery of the three major worlds that occurred in history during this period was really exaggerated by civil servants due to earthquakes, alien invasions or man-made causes, he and his royal relatives could not stay here for the time being.

The second reason is that Zhu Youxiao decided to directly establish contact with generals from various places in the Ming Dynasty in the name of martial arts competition. Just as some martial emperors of all dynasties would meet generals and even exterior members in the name of hunting. Zhu Youxiao also wanted to make the Ming Dynasty famous martial arts famous, so he wanted to take this opportunity to meet all the border generals to win their hearts. In addition, he would take several princes out of Beijing this time, and he also hoped that these princes would experience the charm of some of the military affairs of military ordering on the battlefield and flags to hunt in advance.

Zhu Youxiao chose Liaodong as the place to compete, and his consideration was also given to him.

Zhu Youxiao knew that the Ming Dynasty wanted to completely solve the problems of the Eastern Captains, not because of the Eastern Captains, but because many military generals, officials and gentry in Liaodong had too deep connections with the Eastern Captains.

Although there is a distinction between the Liao people and the Donglu, the distinction between the clans is not very large, not to mention that in this era, there is not much strong national consciousness.

Even when Nurhaci himself occupied Liaoyang and Shenyang in history and plundered the Ming Dynasty, he fought the slogan "living with houses, eating with food, and farming with fields", without national color.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao knew that there was no ethnic conflict between the Liao people and the Donglu in later generations during the War of Resistance, and even between the upper class figures, perhaps even the relatives were connected.

Because in border towns, it is a common phenomenon that Han and Hu live in mixed residences, and even intermarried with each other, the slave chief Nurhaci had a close relationship with Ning Yuanbo (Li Chengliang).

Some Liaodong clans have their brothers in court, their younger brothers are in the Donglu, or their sons are in the Donglu, and their fathers are in the Donglu, and some Liaodong generals are even closer to the Jianzhou Jurchen than to the Jianzhou Jurchen. Many of the Tong Jia family, Wei Jia family, and other families, which belonged to the Eight Banners in history, are examples of the Han people in Liao who were brought into the Eight Banners of Manchu because they were close to the Manchu aristocrats.

If Zhu Youxiao had not always used the guest army or the guards to control Liao and control some dishonest Liao generals, the Liao affairs would not have gone so smoothly.

Because according to the original historical development, there will be more and more Liaodong clans who bet on both sides of the Ming Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty. Some of them had fought fiercely with the Eastern Gate before, and in the next moment they became generals under their command.

Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao knew that the essence of all ethnic groups' struggles was class struggle, so he did not adopt the strategy of "the Liao people defended the Liao territory", which made it difficult for the Liao people to take advantage of the power of the Eastern Captains to escape from the control of the imperial court. Because the guards and the foreign troops won many battles, these Liaodong clans had to restrain themselves and did not dare to invest easily in the Later Jin Dynasty.

You should know that even a general like He Shixian who died on the battlefield for the Ming Dynasty wrote a letter of surrender to Li Yongfang, the Later Jin Dynasty during the period when Yuan Yingtai was the governor of Liaodong.

Zhu Youxiao knew that because the local tribes in Liaodong and the Eastern Gate were too deeply connected, the self-respecting of the enemy was in line with the original intention of these major tribes in Liaodong. To completely solve the problem of the Eastern Gate was to violate their intentions and even force them to break up with some of their relatives and friends who surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty.

Although Zhu Youxiao understood that some aristocratic families liked to place bets between the two forces, he had to deal with the Donglu.

After all, he didn't want the land of China to be stolen by these barbarians in the future, and once it was stolen, it would be stolen for three hundred years, which made China completely and all-round lagging behind the West and suppressed for hundreds of years.

Now, because the situation in Liaodong is not as corrupt as in history, and the suppressed Later Jin has almost reached a point of perseverance, many local generals in Liaodong are still very loyal to the court and have not made any bets on both sides, or even if they bets on both sides, their main intentions are still on the court.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao took this opportunity to go to Liaodong and further gathered the hearts of these Liaodong generals who had not yet had bad intentions.

"Liaodong hunting captives?! The court thought about it. He would not give up until he eliminated the captives!"

After receiving the imperial edict issued by Zhu Youxiao to compete in Liaodong, Zhang Cunren couldn't help but slapped his palm on the table and said to Qianhu Luo Jinxiu.

"The court felt that there were not enough visitors to Liaodong, so it was differentiated to transfer visitors to Liaodong. This did not make the world think that our Liao generals were not effective in defending Liao and did not give up. Now, because the court continued to win, especially the guards dared to directly break the Donglu Dazhai. My subordinate, who was appointed in Jianzhou, has now been killed by his guards!"

Luo Jinxiu also echoed.

"If this continues, our tribesmen over there will be even more unfavorable. If the border troops and guards from other parts of the nine sides come to Liaodong, those people will not care about anything. They just want to make the emperor happy. If they enter the Western Factory, they will seize the heads of the Donglu! Alas, it is a pity that the court is not in power now. These people from the gentry from Jiangnan will allow us Liao people to defend the Liao territory in order to save money, rather than people like Xiong Manzi and Yuan Crazy, who regard the Donglu as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. It seems that if the Donglu is not eliminated, the world will be destroyed!"

Zhang Cunren said that, and punched the table again.

"That's true. In order to make themselves famous, people like Xiong Manzi and Yuan Crazy, who are very happy to make achievements, they like to fool the emperor and let the court raise military affairs! They are birds of a feather with the treacherous ministers of Xu Guangqi in the court!"
