My Daming New Empire

Page 555

Hearing the good news from Liu Wan, he didn't believe that he had just been promoted and would be promoted again.So he asked a little puzzled, "Where does joy come from?"

Liu Wan laughed softly, "Even though Brother Huang is not a high-ranking and powerful man, he is also a low-ranking and powerful man. Now that the navy and army are arguing endlessly over Brother Huang, His Highness is making the decision for Brother Huang."

At this time, Huang Yuan's mother, Mrs. Han, also came to the front yard when she heard that the maid was coming. Liu Wan hurriedly went to see the old lady when she saw the old lady come out.

Leaving aside that Mrs. Han is a well-known second-rank wife, even a first-rank imperial order, she can't stand up to Liu Wan and his servants.

The reason why Liu Wan is so polite is entirely because they spent three years at sea together, and they got along with Huang Yuan day and night.Almost everyone knows that Huang Yuan has outstanding abilities, and Zhu Zhanji attaches great importance to him and treats him with courtesy.

And Huang Yuan was born in a family of officials and eunuchs, he knew how to get in touch with the servants, and also maintained the relationship between the servants very well.

Liu Wan is not visiting as a servant, but as a junior.

Of course, Han also understood the difference, and asked the housekeeper to take out the reward silver, which was [-]% more than usual.

After everyone saluted, Huang Yuan quickly went back and changed into a new set of official uniforms, and then went out with Liu Wan.

"Liu Shaojian, what is His Highness' intention?"

Liu Wan shook his head and said, "Our family doesn't know about this, but... Your Highness met with His Majesty last night, and then asked our family to come look for you early in the morning."

Hearing that it was related to the emperor, even Huang Yuan couldn't guess how he would be arranged.

From Taipingfang, not far away is the north gate of the imperial city, but the north gate is not allowed to enter except for maids, servants and foreign officials.

They walked south for a certain distance and came to Xi'an Gate, from which they entered the palace.

Originally, he thought that he was going to go to Donghua Gate from the sidewalk, but Liu Wan led him directly into Xihua Gate.

From here, you can go to the Wuying Hall where Zhu Di dealt with the early dynasty, and you can also go to the Jinshen Hall where the Wu Dynasty was dealt with.

Huang Yuan wondered: "This is..."

Liu Wan smiled and said: "Your Highness asked our family to bring you to the Hall of Martial Heroes, presumably to bring you to meet the emperor directly..."

Huang Yuan didn't dare to be sloppy, checked his appearance again, and reorganized in his heart what he should say when he saw Zhu Di.

Seeing the grandson, he can be a little more casual. Zhu Zhanji regards him as an arm and let him live on the flagship where the foreign ministers cannot live for three years. Naturally, he will not blame him for small mistakes.

But the emperor is different. He pays attention to every word and deed.

Before arriving at the Hall of Martial Arts, I saw that the morning court had already dispersed.

After the civil and military ministers reported the major events of the day, they had to go back to their yamen to deal with political affairs.

And whoever wants to report to the emperor will hand in a memorial in advance, and the supervisor of rituals and the cabinet will arrange the order of reporting work according to the size, importance, and rank of officials.

Huang Yuan and a few servants waited outside the hall for a while, and then saw Zhu Di walking out with Zhu Zhanji, followed by the cabinet headed by Yang Rong.

Seeing Huang Yuan and the others, Zhu Zhanji waved, and several people hurried forward to pay their respects.

Zhu Di said with a smile: "The great-grandson has praised your ability to deal with government, and I also want to know whether the descendants that Huang Ruxi has carefully cultivated can bear the big responsibility in the local area, so, today, you have all the skills you have. "

Huang Yuan was even more confused, not knowing what Zhu Zhanji wanted him to do.Zhu Di continued to move forward, Zhu Zhanji gave him a comforting look, but there was no hint.

He didn't dare to follow suit, and when several cabinet members followed up with a smile, he fell at the end of the team.

When he came to Jinshen Hall, Zhu Di didn't ask him to come forward to question him directly, but let him have breakfast first, and enjoyed the meal with several cabinet scholars.

Taking advantage of Zhu Di entering to change clothes, Zhu Zhanji called Huang Yuan forward, and said with a smile: "I recommended you to the emperor's grandfather as the marching commander for the Western Expedition. This time, you have to show me well."

The first thing in Huang Yuan's heart was not surprise, but panic.The marching Sima, who was personally marched by the imperial driver, was the general manager of the entire Western Expedition.

He thought that this position belonged to Yang Rong, and only Yang Rong had the qualifications.

Although the commander is also considered an important position, it is far from enough to be the marching commander of the army.

He looked at Yang Rong, but found that Yang Rong didn't have an angry expression, but instead had a sense of eagerness to test his depth.

And the expressions of several Cabinet Grand Masters were optimistic, which made him calm down quickly.

Although his qualifications are much lower, he has handled the logistics of thousands of ships and 10 people on the Western Ocean with his grandson, and now he doesn't feel guilty.

Seeing him calm down, Zhu Zhanji nodded secretly.

The commander is equivalent to the division-level generals of later generations, and the marching Sima personally recruited by Yujia, not to mention that he must be a general like the commander of the group army, at least he must be a military-level general or above.

Zhu Zhanji recommended Huang Yuan because he believed in his ability very much, but whether Zhu Di will accept an important position depends on his performance today.

Although he had already had breakfast at home, at this time, Huang Yuan was rewarded with food, so he naturally wouldn't say no to it, so he ate another small bowl of porridge and two steamed buns.

When Zhu Di put down his chopsticks, everyone immediately put down their chopsticks and wiped their mouths.

Naturally, a servant came forward to clear up the tableware and leftovers, and everyone moved their seats and came to the main hall of Jinshen Hall.

Zhu Di sat down on the dragon chair, and without laying the groundwork, he said directly: "The grandson recommended you to be my marching commander. I have also seen the achievements you have made during the three years of going to sea, but there are some problems that I still have to consider personally. After a while, I will rest assured."

Huang Yuan bowed his head and said: "I am still young, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to take this responsibility. Please think deeply, Your Majesty."

(Twelve thousand today, there is another chapter, a little later)

Chapter 38 Administration and Arrangement (revision)

Of course, Huang Yuan's refusal was not a real refusal, but a prelude to the correct performance of the monarch and his ministers.

For Huang Yuan, a "young man" who is less than thirty years old but already has a high position and power.Hastily being promoted to a high position, in an important position, can't be too eager, it seems tasteless.

He had to reject it first, and then Zhu Di, the emperor, had to pay attention to it, and then he could "reluctantly" accept the emperor's favor.

Although Zhu Zhanji does not take this set seriously, but the world is like this, he will not go against the "trend" in such an inconspicuous place.

The two came and went, Zhu Di showed his importance, Huang Yuan showed his humility, Zhu Di then satisfactorily handed over the topic to the impatient Yang Rong who had been waiting for a long time.

Yang Rong said: "During the Southern Expedition, Huang Shangshu used Guangzhou Bay as his camp to provide a steady stream of food and grass for the entire Southern Expedition. Now that the Western Expedition is taking place, Huang Shangshu is the commander of the rear army to mobilize troops and food from all sides.

Commander Huang's family has a long history. I don't know what you think. Now that His Majesty wants to go on a personal expedition, what's the point of gathering a large army and transporting food and grass?Why is it important?Why hurry, why slow? "

Huang Yuan, who has been specially trained by Zhu Zhanji, already has experience in the management of military supplies for later generations, which is far superior to all the management experience of extensive management in this era. He saluted and said: "I think that the logistics in the army are divided into strategic logistics, Campaign logistics, tactical logistics. Strategic logistics is important and slow; campaign logistics is light and urgent; tactical logistics is both heavy and urgent.”

Yang Rong looked at Huang Yuan in surprise, and then at Zhu Zhanji. Seeing that Zhu Di was very interested, he didn't dare to take it lightly, and asked again: "What is strategic logistics, campaign logistics, and tactical logistics?"

As soon as Zhu Di heard such words, he knew that Huang Yuan was a new general trained by Zhu Zhanji, and he was the only one who talked about strategies and tactics all day long, and he had to figure everything out at any time. Clear and targeted.

In contrast, Yang Rong is more inclined to the old-fashioned management method when dealing with the supply of supplies, including Huang Yuan, who is currently serving as the general officer of grain and grass.

Yang Rong is not completely immune to the impact of new thinking. Zhu Di, who has been influenced by Zhu Zhanji, often conducts sand table deduction with Yang Rong.

In the process, he passed on tactics, strategies, different purposes, and different methods of warfare to Yang Rong.
