"Lone led the army in the north, defeated Li Zicheng, and surrounded and annihilated Abatai. Can't you still build a suitable army in Jiangnan? Zhu Cihong's eyes were aggressive.

Zhang Cai is more serious.

The Royal Guards did suffer a lot of losses in the battle with Abatai, but that didn't mean that such a victorious army would no longer be able to rescue Huguang.

Even, just the troops directly under the legion under Zhu Cihong's light equipment still retain their combat effectiveness.

Zhang Cai keenly discovered Zhu Cihong's intentions.

"Wealth!"

Zhu Cihong has always paid attention to practicality and efficiency. For example, right now, Zhu Cihong's thinking in the face of the situation in Jiangnan is very clear. The crown prince should supervise the country in heaven, and his power radiates to the south of the Yangtze River, and if he wants to seize the real power, the first thing is the financial power.

The original pattern has been decided, and there is no big problem for Zhu Cihong to inherit it. But if Zhu Cihong wants to pacify the chaos in Huguang, he naturally can't just think about giving blood transfusions to the rich Jiangnan, but also about expanding tax sources.

To expand the water source, then the first to bear the brunt is the Jiangnan gentry.

Zhang Cai knows very well that since ancient times, what he said about competing with the people for profit is not ordinary ordinary people. Those untouchables can also be regarded as people who talk to the Son of Heaven?

This competition with the people has always been about the gentry and big businessmen. Only these are worthy of Zhu Cihong to collect taxes.

Now, Zhang Cai can't help but admire Zhang Pu's vision.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Cihong came, he planned to destroy the pattern of causes and open a new source of taxes.

Thinking of this, Zhang Cai said in a deep voice: "Your Highness is worried about the situation in Huguang, and your subordinates are naturally thinking hard about countermeasures. However, training the new army is a matter of hard work, and it is not effective in March or May. At present, Huguang is in danger, and His Royal Highness is also requested to envelop the left part and go west as soon as possible. Moreover, the southerners are not as good at fighting as the northerners, and he also asked His Royal Highness to move the training of troops to Hunan, Shandong and other northern places. ”

Obedient and listening. Listen to a person. Not only do you need to listen to the literal meaning, but you also need to figure out the subtext. And if you want to figure out what it really means, you have to guess why you say that.

"Is it really a Jianghuai unscrupulous soldier?" Zhu Cihong sneered in his heart: "It's not because the training base is stationed in Jiangnan, so we have to open a new tax source in Jiangnan." This is nothing more than a tactful but firm refusal. ”

Suppressing his anger, Zhu Cihong changed his words: "The left part can be used." ”

Zhang Cai was stunned and looked at Zhu Cihong in amazement.

But Zhu Cihong suddenly smiled secretly: "The title of the general of the thief." It should be given to those who really work hard. I have already received a report from the bitter master, how can such a corrupt act of military discipline not be strictly investigated? ”

"Military discipline should be purged ......" Zhang Cai suddenly remembered Zhang Pu's joy when he wrote to Huang Degong, and said in his heart that Zhu Cihong was not afraid of the generals being centrifuged......

Thinking so in his heart, Zhang Cai slowly exhaled again and said: "But if the left part collapses in the purge process, then the situation in Huguang will no longer be able to be cleaned up, and once Wuchang falls, hundreds of thousands of Li people will fall into the hands of the thieves...... It's a great responsibility......"

"The lonely prison country should be in heaven, and His Majesty has ordered him to report the safety of Jiangnan." Zhu Cihong got up slowly. Gazing at Zhang Cai with his hands behind his back, he said: "No matter how big this responsibility is, I can bear it alone." ”

"So...... Xia Guan listened to the good news of His Highness. Zhang Cai bowed slowly.

Huff.

Chizhou.

Zuo Liangyu sighed in his barracks, greatly relieved.

Zhang Pu expressed his support for him.

This is undoubtedly a very important piece of good news, which means that the gentry in Jiangnan will not stand on Zhu Cihong's side and follow him to encircle and suppress him, the general of the defeated army.

As long as this is the case, Zuo Liangyu has a little confidence that he can deal with Zhu Cihong.

For this reason, Zuo Liangyu has already sent the last army under his command to fight to the west, trying to chase after Zhang Xianzhong's army, which occupies the county seat, to fight and brush up on his sense of existence.

Finally, when Zhang Pu's letter was transmitted to Chizhou along the flying pigeon. Zuo Liangyu was relieved.

He gathered his generals and gathered around him. The pro-soldiers were considered to patrol the camp day and night. It seems that only in this way can Zuo Liangyu's safety be more guaranteed.

"Right now, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in the Chizhou camp. The soldiers of the pro-guard battalion are personally managed by my son Zuo Mengeng, who can help me with such a stable heel? Zuo Liangyu glanced at the camp and laughed happily.

Outside the camp.

The soldiers patrolled one by one, and Zhang Yingyuan, the general who patrolled the army as a customary, was also constantly walking in the camp at this moment.

After the expansion of the army, the left force was greatly expanded. From the original remnants of the defeated army, more than 10,000 people instantly expanded to the point of 100,000 strong soldiers.

When the number reaches 100,000, its complexity is even more staggering.

Naturally, with such a camp, his management is also extremely difficult.

So. Even as Zuo Liangyu is a general under his command, Zhang Yingyuan has to waste a lot of time every day on patrolling the camp and maintaining military discipline.

It is precisely because Zuo Liangyu still has a group of loyal generals that the 100,000 army is finally in Zuo Liangyu's hands.

It's just that Zuo Liangyu is obviously a little noisy now, and he ordered all the generals under his command to go out and inspect the camp, as if someone would really rush into the camp alone.

After this idea arose in Zhang Yingyuan's mind, he let Zhang Yingyuan get rid of it at once, he glanced at the boundless crowd, and said: "These are all soldiers under the general's command, how can they let a small thief come in and harm the general?" ”

Thinking like this, the mood in Zhang Yingyuan's heart was a little more relieved, and he walked towards the outside of the camp.

His camp was unlucky, and he was actually encamped on the outskirts of the camp. In terms of the law of the jungle on the left at the moment, it is obvious that the closer you are to the center of Zuo Liangyu, the more important it is.

Just as Zhang Yingyuan walked towards the periphery, suddenly, a figure he saw began to walk slowly.

On this day, it was the early morning of dawn, the clouds and mist were rising, and the soldiers who got up were still scarce, only Zhang Yingyuan was diligently patrolling the camp.

And in the early morning of this morning, a bright and handsome young man walked towards the camp.

He was armed with a sword, his steps were firm, his posture was straight, his face was handsome, and his eyes were firm. Looking at such a gaze, Zhang Yingyuan suddenly felt that he was very fragile and had no resistance in front of such a face.

He recognized the man......

"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ......" Zhang Yingyuan set off a storm in his heart.

Zhu Cihong nodded and smiled at Zhang Yingyuan, and walked towards the camp with only three or five weak scholars and the pro-army general Ning Wei.

Although there were 100,000 soldiers in the camp in the early morning, there were countless patrolling teams.

But when they saw Zhu Cihong's tall figure and couldn't see any sneaky figure at all, they were all stunned.

It's as if darkness meets light, and ice and snow meet a hot furnace. (To be continued.) )
