The first thousand two hundred and fifty-three chapters let Xian
"Brother Ten, have you never called me back to avenge my brother?" Prince Cheng asked.
"I thought about it! Why didn't I think about it?" Prince Guo slapped the wine glass in his hand heavily, looked up and wiped his face: "My brother and sister-in-law died so miserably. I, a brother, always wanted to avenge my brother. Unfortunately, my brother was incompetent and could not defeat this traitor. Now even Dihua is lost."
Regarding the battle of Dihua, Prince Guo had already told Prince Cheng in detail that Prince Cheng had already experienced military affairs over the years. Through Prince Guo's careful explanation and combined with the situation at that time, Prince Guo's choice to voluntarily give up Dihua is completely correct.
Prince Guo sighed, then said happily: "But now, you're fine. You're here. To be honest, you are the best among the brothers. I have praised a lot when the emperor was there. Now we have joined forces and our military strength has increased greatly. When we find a way to regain Dihua and then advance eastward, capture the traitor and avenge the brother-in-law and sister-in-law!"
As he said that, Prince Guo used it to pat Prince Cheng on the shoulder and shouted that Prince Cheng would lead the army for him. At that time, they would mainly focus on Prince Cheng. After Yongzheng was killed, Prince Cheng ascended the throne, so that there would be hope for the Qing Dynasty.
"Brother, this is not right. You have captured the Western Regions, and the troops in your hands..." Prince Cheng quickly refused. He turned to Wanli, and now he led more than 10,000 defeated generals to the Western Regions to surrender to Prince Guo.
Compared to himself, Prince Guo’s strength is much greater. Although he lost Dihua, Prince Guo still has tens of thousands of elite soldiers and also controls a large area of territory west of Dihua. In any case, Prince Guo is the main one.
Before Prince Cheng finished speaking, Prince Guo waved his hand and said, "Why are my brothers saying these things? You don't know what kind of person I am? If you want to do something practical, you can have some strength to fight in battle, but you are much better than me in other ways. What's more, when my brother was there, you said that you are fourteen and both civil and military, and you are the top figure among your brothers. If you don't lead, would you let me be the slutty leader?"
Speaking of this, Prince Guo sighed, his eyes flashing with crystal clear: "I'm not afraid of you making jokes. If I hadn't been holding it in one breath in the past two years, I wouldn't have been doing it now. At present, my biggest wish is to avenge my brother and sister-in-law! As for the rest, it's all trivial matters. Brother, this is what my brother said in his heart. I've thought about it long ago. If I want to take revenge, it's definitely not possible, and only you can do it!"
"Tenth Brother..." Prince Guo's sincere words moved Prince Cheng very much. He held Prince Guo's hand and tears fell down.
"Okay, this matter is decided. From today on, you will be the head coach. Brother, I will be the deputy head coach for you." Prince Guo said directly, holding Prince Cheng's hand hard.
"That's the case with Brother Ten, it would be fake if he refuses as a younger brother. I swear here today that brothers will work together to take revenge! When one day the Qing Dynasty will repeat, I will definitely live up to the tenth's kindness."
At this moment, Prince Cheng had no worries anymore, not to mention that he had ambitions. Although he was all brothers after he arrived in the Western Regions, he would definitely need a leader after joining the army. In Prince Cheng's mind, he was the leader.
Now, Prince Guo has taken the initiative to abdicate and give in to the wise, which is exactly what Prince Cheng wants. At the same time, Prince Cheng has also let go of his heart while moved. Some of the previous defenses have disappeared, replaced by strong brotherhood and gratitude.
After making the primary and secondary decisions, Prince Guo seemed very happy, and then asked what Prince Cheng planned to do next.
In the Western Regions, Prince Guo managed a pretty good business. Under his strong pressure, local forces were basically wiped out by his army. However, small-scale rebellion still exists, but it does not affect his rule.
Regarding this, Prince Cheng proposed that he could appropriately win over some forces close to them, and at the same time, he could follow the example of the ancestors establishing the Eight Banners of Mongolia and Han Dynasty to build the Eight Banners in the Western Regions. This new Eight Banners will be composed of various tribes in the Western Regions. As for the name, it can be called the Eight Banners.
Using this method can not only better rule and control the Western Regions, but also gain new military power from the Western Eight Banners. This is extremely beneficial to them. If they continue to rule by relying solely on the military power in their hands, they will inevitably not last long. Only by completely annexing and digesting the Western Regions can the rule be stable.
In addition, the Western Regions have been a must-pass on the Silk Road since ancient times. Although the importance of this Silk Road has been greatly reduced after the era of majesty, it is currently an excellent source of resources and materials for Prince Cheng and Prince Guo to obtain from the outside.
Prince Cheng decided to reopen the Silk Road, select some merchants who defected to them from all over the Western Regions, give these merchants the name of imperial merchants, and let them trade with Western countries, thereby obtaining wealth and material sources.
This is similar to the rights and interests given to Shanxi merchants and imperial merchants by the Qing Dynasty, except that the target has changed.
While reopening the Silk Road, Prince Cheng also decided to establish exchanges with Western countries. In addition to the right time, place, and people, the revival of the Ming Dynasty was more important that the Ming Dynasty had extremely advanced firearms. Prince Cheng, who had fought with the Ming Dynasty for many years, knew very well.
Now, it is no longer the time when the Mongols were invincible in riding and shooting. The cavalry and shooting left by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty were not very useful. Muskets and cannons are the protagonists of future wars. These are the only sources of Prince Cheng themselves cannot obtain them for the time being, and they are even more unlikely to obtain them from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the only source is those Western countries.
It has to be admitted that Prince Cheng does have two tricks, and he is worthy of Kangxi's praise for his both civil and military affairs.
After Prince Guo took the initiative to give up his position as head coach, Prince Cheng officially took over the Western Regions and spent nearly a month sorting out the current problems in the Western Regions. At the same time, he also reorganized the various departments under his command.
In addition, Prince Cheng also persuaded Bei Henu and others that since the defeat in Guizhou, Bei Henu has returned to Yunnan with Prince Cheng. In order to control the military power in Yunnan, Prince Cheng directly removed Bei Henu from his governorship. Since then, Bei Henu has become a member of Prince Cheng's supervision.
From Guizhou to Yunnan, from Yunnan to Tibet, and then to the Western Regions, Beihenuo suffered a lot along the way. Fortunately, he was in good health and was in the Western Regions, otherwise he would have died halfway.
Since you want to govern the Western Regions and use the Western Regions for your own use, Prince Cheng must use people. And it is definitely not possible to rely on his own to use people. Bei Henuo is the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he is quite capable in civil affairs. He also knows military affairs, so he is the most suitable candidate.
Therefore, Prince Cheng found time to chat with Bei Henuo. After the conversation, Bei Henuo, who had already figured it out in the past year, directly agreed to Prince Cheng's recruitment and agreed to persuade some of his civil servants who have served Prince Cheng.
The joining of Beihenuo and others gave Prince Cheng a little more confidence in managing the Western Regions, and some civil affairs work could be appropriately handed over to Beihenuo. At this time, Prince Cheng put the next step to the east, that is, Dihua.
