Chapter 724: The Guards Dispatched
The Guards Group is heading to Goryeo?
Seeing the document in his hand, Zheng Sen had a lot of question marks in his head, he didn't understand what was going on.
Since its establishment, the Guards Regiment rarely went out to perform missions. The Sixth Guards Regiment can be said to be the first to go out to perform missions, and it also left the land of the Ming Dynasty. This really made many people unable to understand.
Guang Tianxia came to Zheng Sen, hoping that Zheng Sen could escort them over the way. There were nearly 20,000 people. If something went wrong on the road, it would not be a trivial matter.
Although Zheng Sen has been transferred to the position of the Admiral of the Dengzhou Navy, he has been in the army at the time, so he naturally knows what the Guards are doing, which is the army commanded by His Highness the Crown Prince himself.
"Don't worry, since there is the imperial edict of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, we have already checked it and will definitely send you safely. I just don't know what kind of mission you will go there to carry out. Of course, if it involves the secrets of the court, you don't need to answer."
Zheng Sen is also a sensible person. Some things can be known by himself, but some things cannot be known. Don’t think that you can ask about all the things in the Ming Dynasty if you are in a high position. This guy has been in the court for a while. With his father’s teachings, he also knows that there are many things in the court that they are responsible for and cannot be involved in.
Not to mention them, even people like Hu Qiang and Li Guodong may not be asked about some things, such as where did these weapons and ammunition come from? Many people in the court were thinking about this question. According to their technology, they would definitely not be able to get it, but the muskets in their hands are not fake.
Now a hidden rule has been formed in the army. No matter how serious your curiosity is, you must suppress it on this issue. If you want to know the result, you may not be able to save your head. This is the idea from top to bottom. This will make all soldiers and officers break this idea. As long as you can kill the enemy on the battlefield, what do you care about where these things come from?
Compared with your own life, curiosity is not that serious.
"If you go back to the Admiral, we will go to Goryeo to build a huge supply warehouse. It is now in the preparation stage. After the construction is completed, our Sixth Guards Regiment will station the guard warehouse in the local area."
This is not a secret matter. I had asked His Royal Highness the Prince before I came. If someone asked, I could tell them directly that the armed forces of the Sixth Guards Regiment were not weak. Even if someone had any ideas, they might not be able to put them into practice. What's more, Zhu Cilang also wanted to see. If someone had a second thought and told them the news, maybe these people would act in advance. Once they were noticed by themselves, they could catch them all.
"Didn't the imperial court set up many military stations? I have never heard of you going to carry out alert tasks before. Is this warehouse in Goryeo different from other areas?"
Zheng Sen quickly found some doubts here. Goryeo Kingdom is now under the Ming Dynasty, and no one dared to resist. There should be nothing about the security issues there, but why should the labor force mobilize a guard regiment to mobilize a group of guards?
"If you think of Master Tido, our warehouse is firstly large, three times larger than our largest military station now. Secondly, it is not storing other materials, only weapons and ammunition."
Guang Tianxia said with neither humility nor arrogantness. Although he was facing the chief officials of the Ming Dynasty and was also the admiral of the navy, for Guang Tianxia and the others, no matter how big your official position was or how much you made to the court before, our Guards Group and you are not directly affiliated with you. We only obey the orders of His Royal Highness. Without His Royal Highness, no one could mobilize a guards group and a soldier. This is also an iron rule of the court.
Warehouses that store weapons and ammunition...
Zheng Sen was extremely shocked at this time. You should know that from the time His Royal Highness raised his troops to the present, although some military stations have been built everywhere, there are not many materials stored in it. Now it is three times larger than the largest military station, and no other things are stored. Then the weapons and ammunition inside are enough for tens of thousands of people to use for more than half a year. This is definitely not a decimal. If someone controls this warehouse, then I am afraid...
Everyone has ambitions, and Zheng Sen is no exception, especially his bloodline is also pirates. However, this guy quickly shook his head and threw his terrible idea out of his head. Compared with ordinary people, he is considered a smart person, but if he is compared with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is really far from that. If he had this idea, it would represent his negative beginning.
"Don't worry, there are many laborers in Goryeo, and I am still familiar with it. After going there, I will find some good helpers for you, and I should be able to build the warehouse soon."
Zheng Sen stabilized his mind.
"Thank you, Lord Admiral, for your humble post."
According to the court's regulations, the head of the Guards was only responsible to His Royal Highness, so it was not convenient to talk to these officials outside. If they were discovered by secret spies in the dark and sent back to the capital, not only Guang Tianxia was bad, but it was very likely that something would happen to Zheng Sen. In addition to formal official matters, it would be better to have less contact with other aspects. This is also what His Royal Highness said. In order to consolidate the rule of the dynasty, some things must be done if someone else did not like them. Otherwise, if something happened in the future, there would be no place to regret it.
After Guang Tianxia went out, Zheng Sen was also thinking about this matter. The warehouse in Goryeo should be a pilot. If it could run perfectly, such large warehouses might be set up all over the country. At that time, the Guards Group might station in various places, so that the fastest support can be provided to the battlefields in various places.
In theory, it is a good thing for the entire Ming Dynasty, but there is a key point here. If the Guards can always be in the hands of the royal family, it means that this method can be carried out forever. But if the Guards fall into the hands of those who are interested, it may cause instability in the Ming Dynasty. In terms of the candidates for the Guards, His Royal Highness should have his own process...
