The war in Annan will be temporarily halted.

Whether it is the Battle of Champa or the Battle of Guangning, each has its own victory or defeat.

However, Annan's strategic attempt was only half completed. At least no matter what happened, the current situation in Champa is to miss the upcoming battle between Annan and the Ming Dynasty.

Even if it is fought, it can only be a civil war in Champa, with the scale limited to the inside of Champa.

Most of the troops in Annan can be liberated and placed in the north.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Guo Deng also completed the first step, using decisive techniques to intervene in the civil strife of the Cen family and requested Cen Rui to be Sien Bo.

He also transferred Cen Rui into the Beijing Camp sequence and became one of Guo Deng's deputy generals.

Of course, Cen Rui will not be treated without paying a price.

His price was that Si'en's mansion changed its territory and returned to the current situation, and Cen Rui endorsed the prestige of the Cen family and recruited soldiers in the old land of Guangxi.

The Cen family solved it peacefully.

But the other toasts did not solve the problem peacefully.

However, they could not escape Guo Deng's palm.

With the help of military pay from Beijing, as well as the help of chieftains such as the Cen family and the Hou family in Datengxia, almost a steady stream of Guangxi people with status but no identities. In the future, those with no resident household registration walked down from the mountains and were willing to join the army.

Of course, this is certainly because of the prestige of the chieftains such as the Cen family, and even more because of the power of Brother Kong Fang.

Because Zhu Qizhen asked Guo Deng to recruit these troops very early for the purpose of future garrisons in Nanjing and future siege in Nanyang.

After all, letting Hebei soldiers go to Nanyang to fight, not to mention injuries, is a big problem.

Therefore, the conditions for conscription in Guangxi can be said to be the same as those in the Beijing camp.

Twelve taels per year, one tael per month, other benefits, etc.

This treatment was formulated by Zhu Qizhen based on the vicinity of Shuntian Prefecture and even near Hebei.

You should know that near Shuntian Prefecture, within the Ming Dynasty, it may not be considered the richest, but it is much stronger than Guangxi. Therefore, in Hebei, it is a relatively high military pay, but in Guangxi, it is a price that can sell people's lives.

Therefore, a large number of people who were originally affiliated with the chieftain were willing to eat this bite of life.

Speaking of which, these Zhuang Miao tribes who crossed mountains and ridges are quite suitable as their source of troops.

The only problem with some is the dialect problem.

Fortunately, the Guangxi Guard troops stationed in Guangxi for many years and passed the Battle of Datengxia, and had a group of suitable officers.

Guo Deng is expected to train 150,000 troops in Guangxi. In fact, it is said that the army of Guangxi chieftains and the Guangxi garrison troops were Mao Sheng's troops.

So the real recruits are about 50,000.

In addition, the original Jingying headquarters had a total of 200,000 troops.

However, it takes time for the army to train, and the subsequent transportation of military supplies also takes time. This time, it takes about half a year to a year to train.

Therefore, the war in Annan will come to an end for the time being.

However, after a scattered sensation in the palace, Zhu Qizhen was scolded by the empress dowager and asked the prince to go to Jiangnan.

It is naturally impossible for the Crown Princess to follow the Crown Prince.

So the prince took Wang to the south.

At this time, the focus of the Ming and Qing dynasties had already been pushed to Jiangnan.

When it comes to Qingzhang, Zhu Qizhen is naturally good at choosing superiors, especially the most important Qingzhang in Jiangnan, Zhu Qizhen is even more cautious.

This is especially true after Xu Youzhen reported it.

Zhu Qizhen thought about this matter and could only invite an old minister who should have retired.

Kou Shen.

This old minister was from Tang County, Hebei Province. He was a young student of the high school student in Yongle.

The Tai students in the Yongle period were not as popular as the Jinshi, so it took this young Tai students twenty years to take the position of head of the Ministry of Justice in Xuandechu.

But it is precisely because of the dust from both inside and outside that he has seen the changes in the world clearly.

Many things can be seen at a glance.

He is unparalleled in law. When he was in the Ministry of Justice, there would never be any problem with the cases he had with him. He was nicknamed Shen Duan.

But he was so old that in the 23rd year of Zhengtong, his mother died of illness and returned to her hometown to observe the system. However, after that, Kou Shen lost his desire to become an official.

After all, he was nearly 70 years old at that time.

Although working in the Censorate was a profit, at that time, Zhu Qi suppressed Liu Qiu and Kou Shen had no room for promotion.

Since that's the case, why not go back to your hometown.

After all, Hebei has developed quite well over the years. Kou Shen simply doesn't want to return to Beijing to work.

Zhu Qizhen originally wanted to approve it.

After all, it was a bit too unkind to let an old minister in his 70s come out to do business for the court again. Although Zhu Qizhen did not personally intervene in the specific work of cleaning up the job.

But I also know that this is a very tedious and labor-intensive thing.

However, Zhu Qizhen couldn't think of someone he could trust for a moment.

Kou Shen is an old minister. He is old and old, and can hold on to the ground. The most important thing is that he is a northerner, a Hebeier. His relationship with the southerner is not too deep.

And have the ability and wrist.

No one should be considered a trick under this old minister.

In addition, it was also ordered that Cao Nai, the remaining subordinate in Nanjing, cooperate closely.

Note that Cao Nai is also from Hebei.

This already shows Zhu Qizhen's tendency.

The prince came out this time, just like before, and was semi-public.

In the early Ming Dynasty, there were many precedents in the emperor sending the crown prince out of the capital to handle the matter, so the ministers did not think there was any problem.

It was like Taizu sent the prince Zhu Biao to go out of the capital many times, and Taizong even asked Emperor Renzong to stay in Nanjing. As for Emperor Xuanzong, when Emperor Renzong passed away, Xuanzong was also working as a foreigner.

Therefore, it is not a big deal for the prince to go out.

The only difference is that Zhu Jianjun did not rely on the prince. The high-ranking officials from all over the country naturally knew, but the minor officials in the prefectures and counties below may not know all of them.

The prince had met Cao Nai in Nanjing, so he immediately went to Jiangnan to meet Kou Shen.

Although Cao Nai's official position is above Kou Shen, he is more in charge of the overall situation. It is Kou Shen who really deals with the matter of Qingzhang.

Kou Shen was not very polite when he saw the prince.

Nothing else, Kou Shen is now seventy years old, how many years can he live? His Majesty is in full swing in spring and autumn. When the prince ascended the throne, I don’t know what year or month it will be.

Kou Shen really had no place to expect the prince, he was just polite and not offend him.

The two of them were greeting like this, and the prince asked: "When Gu came, the father said that all this was left to the two adults, and Cao Gong asked Gu to obey Mr. Kou's opinion, but he didn't know how Guu arranged Gu?"

Kou Shen sighed and said, "This place in Jiangnan is just a matter of service. With the advice of the old minister, the prince and his entourage temporarily hide their identities. When he came to the old man's curtain, he said that he was an official transferred from Beijing to sort out documents for me. After the prince was familiar with everything here, the old man asked the prince to go to the county below to preside over the measurement of a county."

Kou Shen is quite familiar with the emperor's intentions, and it is nothing more than asking the prince to see the sufferings of the people.

To be honest, Prince Zhu Jianjun received the best education as soon as he was born. However, none of these educations allowed him to deeply understand how the Ming Dynasty lived.

When he was in the ninth level, a command would have an impact on the following.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qizhen repeatedly deported the prince.

But the old minister Kou Shen thought more about it.

The reason why he kept the crown prince was to see the crown prince's ability. Since the emperor had entrusted the crown prince to him, he must hand over a satisfactory answer.

In other words, what the prince wants to do will definitely succeed. If the prince messes up the matter here and affects the prince's prestige, Kou Shen will not have any good results.

How to ensure that the prince is absolutely successful. It is a way to circle the target after shooting an arrow, but Kou Shen would not do this yet. But first consider the prince's ability and give him a suitable question. Then he can take a little attention from behind, so that the prince can complete a perfect answer without realizing it.

The prince didn't know the inside story, and he was still a little happy, as if he remembered the construction of rivers and canals in Lanzhou. If this kind of thing is done well, it is actually very fulfilling.
