Thank you for the invitation. I am in the Ming Dynasty and swear not to be an official!

Chapter 51 The suspected Jinyiwei commander Mao Xiang appears
In the palace, after Princess Ningguo came back, she pestered Ma Dajiao to ask about the situation.

In fact, the confidentiality of Liao Tiancheng's matter was only about the fiefdom. As for his official position and where he went, they were not kept secret.

Because of Liao Tiancheng's merits, there is no problem in giving him an official position, but giving him a fiefdom is really unjustifiable. Although it is only a small village, it is enough to trigger discussions among the heroes.

"Actually, Liao Tiancheng went to the frontier to do business. Didn't he say before that salt and wine could be used to influence neighboring countries? Your father also wanted the Ming Dynasty to stabilize as soon as possible, so he asked him to try it himself."

"As for the place to go, it's in Lanzhou, Gansu Province."

As the eldest daughter of Zhu Yuanzhang, Princess Ningguo is smart and knows a lot about the situation of the Ming Dynasty. Especially since she has not used troops in the Hexi Corridor in the past few years, it is not difficult to know that the Ming Dynasty has been staying in the western territory. In the Guanlong area.

Since Liao Tiancheng's fiefdom is in Lanzhou, it is undoubtedly the frontier.

"Mother, Liao Tiancheng paid excessive taxes to the court, and also gave money to ordinary craftsmen in the name of my father. This time he appeased the victims of the Fengyang disaster. His contribution is so great, how can my father put him in danger?"

"Well, this is your father's idea. He is the emperor now. Whatever he says, then it must be so. By the way, Ning Guo, since Liao Tiancheng is leaving, you can move back here from now on."

Unexpectedly, Ning Guo shook his head: "No, my daughter will not come back! My father said that my daughter should pay off her debt."

"Why are you so stubborn? Glass is not expensive now. It's no problem to burn it and make it the same as before. If you want to repay the debt, just pay money or give a cup."

"No mother, that's not how the debt is calculated. When I broke the cup, that cup was worth a lot of money! If Liao Tiancheng had sold the cup at that time, the family would definitely have hundreds of thousands more! So, I still owe He has a huge debt, and I must pay it back."

Ma Dajiao smiled bitterly: "Then how are you going to repay it? Others are about to leave. You, a daughter of a family, can't follow him to the frontier, right? Besides, you are still a princess, so you can't take risks."

Ning Guo smiled: "He's gone. Isn't the eldest brother in charge of the brewing business? My daughter can help him."

There was nothing wrong with this, so Ma Dajiu didn't take it to heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly selected [-] "forbidden troops" and delivered them to Liao Tiancheng.

"Tiancheng, this is the imperial army specially selected for you by the imperial court. They are all veterans who have fought in the war. If they are placed in the army below, they can be a hundred households!"

Liao Tiancheng took a look and saw that these soldiers were all well-dressed and strong-willed. They were all around 30 years old and had good energy. They were indeed elite.

But Liao Tiancheng always felt that something was wrong.

"By the way, you have no experience in commanding troops. The emperor specially selected a general for you! This is the commander Mao Xiang. You should listen to his advice more in future wars. If you lose all these soldiers, then you really have to Face the Yuan people alone."

Liao Tiancheng stared at Mao Xiang suspiciously, and suddenly thought of someone.

Mao Xiang, the first commander of Jinyiwei!

Is it the same person?
Liao Tiancheng felt that they were probably the same person.

It makes no sense that they both have the same name and surname, and they are both in high positions.

But if it is Mao Xiang from Jinyiwei, this guy has never fought in a war, because Jinyiwei's predecessor was a school inspection organization, and it was also specifically for tracking, not fighting.

Can Mao Xiang, who has no actual combat experience, take charge of this forbidden army and follow him to the border fortress?

In addition, Liao Tiancheng previously thought that this old man was the boss of the school inspection, but this old man's surname is Zhu, and now Mao Xiang comes out, so it is obvious that the old man is not the person who is the school inspector.

Observing carefully, the old man's status was obviously superior to Mao Xiang's, because Mao Xiang lowered his head when talking to him.

Could this old man be at a higher level?Who is it?
Thousands of thoughts surged through Liao Tiancheng's heart in an instant.

But he soon returned to the question he was most concerned about: Will Mao Xiang lead the army to fight?
"Old man, please take a step to speak."

After the two left for a while, Liao Tiancheng asked in a low voice: "Old man, have you ever heard of a famous general named Mao Xiang? Has he ever fought in a war?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned when asked.

Mao Xiang was beaten, but...

He only reports!

"Tiancheng, letting him go with you is just a facade, not to rely on these 1 people to fight the war. The main reason for you to go there is to use your strengths and disintegrate Dongchahatai from within!"

These words made Liao Tiancheng scratch his head.

"Old man, when I get there, I will definitely reserve a lot of salt and liquor in the village. No matter what, I must have the ability to protect myself! These 1 people are elite soldiers. If they are not commanded properly, they will be wasted. If any With a good general commanding, the people of Yuan Dynasty may suffer losses! My business is true, but it does not conflict with the imperial army's killing of enemies. If I can break the enemy's fighting spirit on the outside, and if I have elite soldiers and generals on the inside to intimidate the people of Yuan Dynasty, wouldn't it be easier to surrender Chahatai? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was finally convinced. After thinking about it for a while, he said he would go back first and discuss it with the emperor.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang called his four sons over after returning.

The eldest prince is Zhu Biao, the second is the King of Qin, the third is the King of Jin, and the fourth is the King of Yan Zhu Di.

"Let me tell you something. You must have heard about Liao Tiancheng?"

Zhu Biao nodded, King Jin nodded, Zhu Di curled his lips, but King Qin looked blank, obviously not hearing anything.

"Okay, dick, you can go."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy.

"Continue to go back to Fengyang to train."

In the past two years, Zhu Yuanzhang often asked his second, third and fourth sons to train in Fengyang in order to let his sons improve and be able to take charge of their own affairs after becoming a vassal in the future.

King Qin didn't know what had happened. He was called and driven away, and he went out with a look of resentment on his face.

"That's right, we gave Tiancheng [-] forbidden troops and mobilized Mao Xiang to help lead the troops. But after all, Mao Xiang was a school inspector before and has no experience in commanding troops to fight. So, who among you is willing to go with him? Help Liao Tiancheng lead the army?"

King Jin and King Yan were all moved.

This is a perfect opportunity to lead an independent army!

But Prince Zhu Biao did not express his position, and the two of them could not say anything, so they looked at their eldest brother whom they respected very much.

Zhu Biao smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me, I can't go. After Tiancheng leaves, I still have to help him take care of the liquor-related affairs. Now that liquor is gaining momentum, it will bring more tax revenue to the court soon. I am leaving. It’s not open.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "That's right, in addition to making wine, your eldest brother also has to learn from us how to manage politics, so this matter is between you brothers."

The King of Jin immediately said: "Father, I am willing to go there! My son has been studying the art of war seriously in the past two years. It is not said that he has the ability of Wei Guogong, but he is more than enough to command [-] soldiers! Moreover, give me a chance now. , I will become a vassal queen in the future, so that I can protect the country for my father."
