A good deal of the family property had already been confiscated and was being shipped to the capital. The remaining tasks were now being handled by his subordinates, and the overall situation was now settled.
Zhu Youxiao left Zhangjiakou and headed straight for Liaodong.
For Zhu Youxiao, this was an itinerary that had been arranged long ago.
If Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to Liaodong, his first stop would be Shanhaiguan. As for whether he would go out, he would need to wait until he got to Shanhaiguan to see the situation.
It's not that Zhu Youxiao is unwilling to move forward, but it would be dangerous to move forward. Don't think that there is no espionage work in Liaodong. People in this era are not that simple.
It can be seen from several wars between the Ming Dynasty and the Jiannu that the Jiannu's intelligence work was excellent. Not only could they collect intelligence and gather news, but when the army was fighting, these people could also help spread rumors in the city, shake people's hearts, cause trouble and attack the city gates. Basically, they did everything.
If they knew that Zhu Youxiao had arrived in Liaodong, it would be strange if they didn't kill the emperor.
As he was the emperor, Zhu Youxiao had a clear understanding of his own position, which was that he absolutely could not take any risks.
He killed 10,000 Jiannu soldiers, and they killed one of his. Zhu Youxiao would lose anyway. This couldn't be done.
So let’s set up camp in Shanhaiguan first and deal with the rest later.
Although the speed of the journey was not fast, it was not slow either. When Zhu Youxiao was about to reach Shanhaiguan, someone was already waiting for them there, namely Sun Chuanting and others.
Since going to the Imperial Army Command Office, people like Sun Chuanting have naturally felt like fish in water. On weekdays, they train soldiers, research various new equipment, and study various new tactics. It can be said that they have fully utilized their talents.
Although these people are young, they are all capable and creative, and the atmosphere was very tense for a while.
This time, Sun Chuanting and his men were drawn to Liaodong, which made everyone even more excited. The court valued military merit, or rather, the current emperor valued military merit, which was something everyone knew.
To this end, His Majesty even restarted the title system and conferred titles on those meritorious generals.
Life is short and fleeting, who doesn’t want to fight for a bright future?
Learning martial arts and selling them to the emperor was a principle that had been passed down from ancient times. Now that everyone had joined the military, earning meritorious service, receiving rewards, and obtaining a title was naturally their common goal.
It is naturally impossible to hide in the capital, but there is an opportunity in Liaodong.
Under such circumstances, everyone can naturally do their best. Everyone is full of enthusiasm and is not afraid of tigers at the time.
What's more, Sun Chuanting had fought in the southwest, so he was very confident this time.
At that time, Sun Chuanting envied Qi Yuanfu's army, and now he has his own. Under such circumstances, he is naturally full of confidence.
What's more, there are so many capable people around, so I naturally have to make a big move this time, otherwise I will be sorry for myself.
Naturally, everyone was very enthusiastic about this idea.
When Zhu Youxiao arrived at Shanhaiguan, he could clearly feel the atmosphere in the army: everyone was very enthusiastic. Although there was some pre-war tension, there was more excitement, and everyone wanted to make a contribution.
Looking at Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others who were responsible for the reception, Zhu Youxiao also smiled.
These are the backbone of the future Ming Dynasty and the guarantee for Zhu Youxiao to dominate the world.
With these people, he can do whatever he wants in the future.
Zhu Youxiao walked over and helped Sun Chuanting up. He looked at everyone with a relieved smile on his face and said, "My dear ministers, you have worked hard on this journey."
After hearing this, Sun Chuanting and others hurriedly bowed and said loudly: "Serving the country and being loyal to His Majesty, how can it be hard?"
That's all I can say.
Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction, smiled gently and said, "That's great! I will make use of you again after we arrive in Liaodong this time. Now rest well, and don't embarrass me when the time comes."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Sun Chuanting and others said hurriedly.
These people are the legitimate descendants of Zhu Youxiao, all of whom are from the Royal Academy. There is no need to explain this Royal Academy. Just look at the name "Royal", and the money is paid by the emperor.
In addition, they were all valued after becoming officials and were all promoted by Zhu Youxiao. Later, they were directly transferred to the office of the commander of the imperial army and became the most trusted confidants of His Majesty.
