Chapter 156: Sapphire's Secret Observation(1/2)

Zhu Qi frowned and said:

"Hey, what I am asking is not a praising or not. I am asking whether the people of Liaoyang are full and dressed warmly, are there any people who are not covered in their bodies or eat without food?"

Liu Bowen smiled and said what he saw outside:

"When you go back to Your Highness, although the people of Liaoyang cannot be said to be fully fed and dressed warmly, most of them can still survive after the war.

Even those who wander on the streets have arranged for them to do some hard work and sell some energy to exchange for some food."

Zhu Qi nodded, and these arrangements seemed to have fallen into reality.

Liu Bowen said again:

"Your Highness loves the people as much as his son, and I admire him very much.

I have Your Highness in the Ming Dynasty, which is really a blessing for my Ming Dynasty.”

Zhu Qi raised his hand and said:

"Don't put a high hat on me. Since I am the King of Liao, I will also be in the Liao territory in the future.

I might live in Liaoyang for the rest of my life, and I will have to rely on the people in Liaoyang to make a living.

Let them be better now, and I will be better in the future.

It is not a question of loving the people like children, it is mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial.”

Liu Bowen was stunned and asked:

"Your Highness, are you dependent on the people of Liaoyang for a meal?"

Zhu Qi spread his hands and said:

"I will be in the Liao territory from now on, and I will not be able to continue to receive money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs every month.

This Liaoyang is my fief, and the food, clothing and expenses must be supported by the people of Liao.

The tax paid by the people of Liaoyang is my future source of life. What will they be my parents who are not my food and clothing?"

This was the first time Liu Bowen heard this statement. In the past, he said that the local magistrate was his parents, and His Highness the King of Liao called the people the parents of food and clothing.

He couldn't help but sigh:

"Your Highness really has the style of Emperor Taizong of Tang in ancient times. People are water kings and boats. Water can carry boats and can also overturn boats. That's the reason."

Zhu Qi was a little embarrassed to hear Liu Bowen's praise, but what he said was indeed the truth.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the biggest feature was the King of Se.

The so-called King of Shou is actually a similar feudal system between the emperor and the princes during the Zhou Dynasty. It imitates the heroes invading barbarian land in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and implements the strategy of "the kings pacifying the border".

The so-called "kings of the kings to guard the border" means giving great autonomy to the thirteen kings including Qin, Jin, Zhao, Qi, Yan, and Liao.

These kings of Se not only have their own special military troops, but also have financial statistics, but most of these incomes will be handed over to these kings of Se notes.

With soldiers and money, these tasks of Kings of Sit are not enjoyed in their territory.

Their mission is to seize nomadic land!

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, even if the emperor and the princes were included in the territory, it was only near the Yellow River Basin.

After hundreds of years of development, the territory has been expanded several times, and it is up to the princes to continuously expand their territory.

Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning was very clear, which was to let the Thirteen Kings attack him on his own initiative.

Every year, these kings of the Siege go out to hunt. The so-called hunting means snatching nomadic territory.

Zhu Qi was the King of Liao and one of the Kings of Sai, and he would definitely embark on such a path of abundant martial ethics in the future.

Especially in places like Liao, to be honest, just thinking about it makes me feel a little headache and despair.

However, the preparations that need to be done are still necessary.

After Liu Bowen's report was over, he began to talk about the war again and analyzed:

"At this time, our army had occupied western Liaodong and eastern Liaoning, and confronted the Liaohe River with the Yuan army.

Your Majesty's goal has been achieved, and I believe that a special person will be arranged to handle the Liaodong defense affairs soon.

Maybe someone will come soon to take over His Highness’s position. After His Highness is called back to Tianfu, it will not take long before he will be in the Liao territory.”

Zhu Qi also thought about what Liu Bowen said.

I didn't have a vassal before, because the back cover was not returned and was still in the hands of the Beiyuan.

Now that Liaodong and Liaodong have been in the hands of the Ming army, I am afraid that it is not far away for me to be a vassal.

After all, I am already twenty years old.

Which king of the Hongwu year, who was not the one who galloped across the grassland and desert when he was twenty years old?

………………………………………

Lan Yu led his army to sweep across the western Liaoning along the way, and then received the order from His Highness the King of Liao and arranged for him to be responsible for comprehensive defense.

To put it bluntly, it means that all military affairs are handed over to Lan Yu to take charge.

As soon as he heard this order, Lan Yu's subordinates all followed:

"Hmph, this Liao King is still a little self-aware after all, and knows he is not as good as our General Lan Yu."

"Yes, yes, although this Liao King swept across Liaodong, if we hadn't attracted the main force of Naha in western Liaoning, could he have won Liaodong so easily?"

"If we hadn't fought hard on the front line, where would he have been the result of King Liao?"

"We obviously contributed the most, but now, it is said that we are benefiting from the Liao King, so we can occupy Liaodong without any effort.

In fact, according to me, even if the Liao King did not attack Liaodong, we had already attacked Naha and ran away with our heads.

As long as we give us some more time, isn’t this Liaoxi still the thing in our pocket?”

"Yeah yeah!"

The group of people sounded very dissatisfied, and Lan Yu did not stop them. After they finished talking one by one, they said:

"Okay, okay, don't complain.

Let us restrain western Liaoning, and His Highness the King of Liao attacked Liaodong, which was arranged before, and I agreed. His Highness the King of Liao was just on order.

As for military merit, it is yours, and of course it is yours.

Even if someone else wants to steal your credit, I, Lan Yu, will be the first to refuse to agree!”

After Lan Yu said something, the generals in front of him were all overjoyed.

Isn’t the most important thing for those who serve in the army to compete for military merit? Otherwise, why are everyone fighting for life and death?

When the group heard Lan Yu's promise, they worked even harder when they talked about the bad words of His Highness the Liao King.

They all spoke out for General Lan Yu.

Lan Yu looked calm and did not seem to care much about military merits.

In fact, Lan Yu really doesn't care about these things. Zhu Yuanzhang is an emperor with clear rewards and punishments.

His task was to restrain Naha's, and he had to face the main force of the enemy's army. How could Zhu Yuanzhang ignore these?

It’s just that there is something about the Liao King, but Lan Yu has other concerns.

This Liao king had heard that he was just an ordinary prince before, but later he became seriously ill and became smart without saying anything, as if he was proficient in everything.

The poems and prose shocked the poetry world.

In business, I have many involvement in selling books, entertainment, catering, and printing, and make money every day.

Yu Medical and Medical Sciences made a thing called antibiotic. This thing was a syringe and it would probably be pulled back if it wasn't too big and the wound was too big and blood was too much.

In Confucianism, he wrote the book "Study on Heart" that is worthy of being passed down from generation to generation.

It would be fine if it was just this, but what worried Lan Yu the most was the outstanding military qualities and behavior that won the hearts of the people.

Needless to say, there is no need to say much about military achievements. A few years ago, His Highness, the teenage King of Liao ambushed the Yuan army gathered in the mainland in Yunzhong Mountain, and fought a battle of Yunzhong that shocked the world.

Then he went to the Bohai Sea and led dozens of small boats to destroy all the Beiyuan Navy, which was several times more powerful!

Not to mention, His Highness the King of Liao then sneaked into the Kampa Buddha Kingdom alone under the pretext of attack and instigated the National Master of Buddha Bao.

The Kampa Buddha Kingdom was included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

Only then did General Xu Da have the opportunity to lead the Ming army straight into Qinghai.

If not, how could this be the basis for the launch of the Third Northern Expedition?

Without Qinghai, defense in Bashu, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places would require a lot of troops.

Now as long as you defend Qinghai, all the original front lines will become the rear, which will be a contribution to the Liao King Zhu Qi.

This time, the war in Liaodong was also very smooth. King Zhu Qi of Liao swept across Liaodong. When he heard that the guards of the government troops in various parts of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, he was so scared that he opened the city and surrendered one after another when he saw the royal flag of King Zhu Qi of Liao.

Besides, Liaoyang is the most powerful city in Liaodong's defense, and it is the core of Liaodong.

Originally, Lan Yu predicted that the Yuan army from all over Liaodong had gathered in Liaodong, although most of them were left behind.

But why are there tens of thousands of people?
