These old subordinates of the Great General were proud and arrogant. It was fortunate that Guo Ying, the founding general, had stepped forward. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for ordinary people to subdue them.
"This is a good thing. The old subordinates of the general are all experienced soldiers. This king is more than happy to do so. Is there a problem?”
" Other than the old subordinates of the Great Generals, there are still a few thousand people who are the old subordinates of the Duke of Liang…" Guo Ying stuttered.
Zhu Zhi also came back to his senses and understood why Guo Ying was in a difficult position.
The Duke of Liang was Lan Yu!
Lan Yu was a famous general who founded the Ming Dynasty. He is brave and resourceful, brave and good at fighting, and has made many military achievements. He defeated the Northern Yuan in the Fish-Catching Sea, basically destroying their official system and becoming famous all over the world.
Fenglang Juxu was the highest honor of a general. In the Ming Dynasty, blue jade was the number one.
Lan Yu was Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and Chang Yuchun was the father-in-law of Crown Prince Zhu Biao. As the uncle of the Crown Princess, Lan Yu tried her best to protect the Crown Prince's position as the Crown Prince and became enemies with the King of Yan, who had long coveted the throne. Zhu Yuanzhang had given his son Zhu Biao a super first-class martial arts group in the Ming Dynasty as a preparation for his son to inherit the throne and completely eliminate Northern Yuan.
However, the crown prince had died, and the young emperor's grandson was still young. Prince Zhu Biao's Martial Artists Group was completely massacred, and in the end, they ended up like Zhou Yafu. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, Lan Yu was killed for treason, skinned, filled with grass, and spread to all places. After investigating his henchmen, more than 15,000 people were implicated in the death, which was known as the "Blue Jade Case" in history.
Lan Yu's ability was obvious to all. Even during the Hongwu period, when famous generals were everywhere, she was at the top of the class. Furthermore, in the last years of Hongwu, he was the most outstanding general.
Although he was arrogant and despotic, in the last years of Hongwu, no matter how much Old Zhu hated Lan Yu's character, he could only use him as the general. Moreover, although Lan Yu was domineering, she was very obedient to Zhu Biao, the crown prince of Yiwen. This made Old Zhu very satisfied.
Unfortunately, Zhu Biao, the prince of Yiwen, was dead.
Once Zhu Biao died, Old Zhu was old and Zhu Yunwen couldn't control Blue Jade, so Old Zhu could only kill Blue Jade.
Although Blue Jade was dead, his old subordinates were still around. This was the top army of the Ming Dynasty, but Blue Jade's old subordinates had fallen into an awkward situation where no one dared to use them.
They were clearly the most capable army in the Ming Dynasty, but now they could only be raised in Liaodong. It was very aggrieved.
"Retract!"
Zhu Zhi said resolutely," We must take in Lan Yu's old troops. This is an army that can make the world tremble in fear. Although the old troops of the other generals are also elites, they can't compare to the old troops of the Duke of Liang who just retired from the battlefield in the north of the desert. You don't have to worry. With this king supporting you, you can take in the old troops of the Duke of Liang with ease!”
"Your Highness is mighty!" Guo Ying couldn't help but excitedly cup his fists.
Facing a fat piece of meat like Lan Yu's old subordinates, he, a founding general, was rather conflicted. He didn't know whether to accept it or not. But now that he had Liao Wangye backing him up, he became bolder.
Retract!
Whichever army was the best at fighting, that was the one!
In any case, this was the territory of the Liao King's residence. The one who made the decision was him, Zhu Zhi!
Zhu Yuanzhang wanted Zhu Zhi to guard the country, but what he gave him was a poor Liaodong.
Sure, but whatever I want to do in Liaodong, you, Zhu Yuanzhang, cannot interfere!
If it was any other general or vassal king who dared to touch Lan Yu's old subordinates, Zhu Yuanzhang would not hesitate to chop off their hands!
However, Zhu Zhi was different. He was the most bitter vassal king among the nine great frontier kings, but he had consolidated the dilapidated Liaodong. The Liao King had contributed greatly to Liaodong's success today. Even Zhu Yuanzhang had nothing to say.
"Father-in-law, these three guards of Guang Ning are my Liao royal guards. You have to take good care of them.”Zhu Zhi exhorted," If you lack provisions, I will try my best to improve the system of opening up wasteland. At most, I will deduct some from the provisions that I have given to the imperial court. If you lack silver, this king can personally write a letter to the dragon case and transfer the silver from the Ministry of Revenue. What is lacking, this king can fill in the gaps. The only thing is that the three guards of Guang Ning must be the elites of the elites, and they must be brave men who can fight against ten!”
The status of the three guards of Guangning in Liaodong was different. The other guards fought for the country, but the three guards of Guangning fought for the king. Zhu Zhi had the authority to command the other guards, but the imperial edict was more powerful than the seal of the Liao Prince's residence.
However, it was different for the three guards of Guangning. Among the three guards of Guangning, the seal of King Liao's residence was more useful than the imperial edict.
"Your Highness, don't worry. This official will not disappoint you!”Guo Ying was even more excited than Zhu Zhi.
Although the three guards of Guang Ning were not his, he was the commander of the Liao royal guards!
Which general wouldn't want to lead an invincible army?
Meeting a wise ruler like Zhu Zhi, he could get whatever he wanted and make up for whatever he lacked. How heroic was he to select elites from the Liaodong 200,000 strong army!
Now, the Liao Royal Guards had 15,000 people, and each of them was a veteran of Liaodong who had gone deep into Mobei and fought hundreds of battles!
If he hadn't fought with a founding general, he would be embarrassed to say that he was a member of the Liao royal guards!
"Yes." Zhu Zhi nodded.
With a famous general like Guo Ying managing the Liao royal guards for him, he could rest assured.
It was not in vain for him to spend so much effort to poach this old general from Old Zhu's side.
