This situation is always worthy of happiness. Although Zhu Cilang is not the kind of person who likes to show off, when Hong Chengchou asked this, he still couldn't help but say smugly: "What kind of peace talks is just that Haoge wants to kill me. Humph, fortunately I have prepared for a long time."

Hong Chengchou secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, as long as your highness is fine. You don't have to take a little care of a mere Prince Jiannu. Next time you meet on the battlefield, it's not too late to kill him."

Zhu Cilang chuckled: "No next time, he is dead."

Hong Chengchou was shocked: "What, then, is that Haoge dead?"

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Yes, he wants to kill me, so I will naturally be rude to him. I'm shot to death by partner Sun. Partner Sun, you have made great contributions this time."

Sun Wangcai, who was standing beside him, immediately became a little shy: "Your Highness, I just hit you by chance."

Sun Wangcai didn't expect that he would really kill Haoge. That's the eldest son of the Qing emperor. He was a little eunuch who actually killed the eldest son of the Qing emperor. He was a little scared and excited when he thought about it.

Hong Chengchou was even more shocked and opened his eyes widened: "Yes, was this young father-in-law killed?"

You should know that the entire Liaodong defense line led by Hong Chengchou is actually mainly defense. If you want to fight back, the Liaodong Army's capabilities are still not good now.

No matter how bad the Qing Dynasty did, their cavalry combat effectiveness was still terrifying. If they really met on the battlefield, the Liaodong Army would not get any benefits.

It was even more difficult for the Liaodong Army to kill a Qing army general. Unexpectedly, a eunuch with his side beside the prince killed Haoge with one shot. That was Huang Taiji's eldest son, and it had a huge encouragement effect on morale.

Another point is that the more shocked Hong Chengchou was, the more he could flatter the prince. Sure enough, Zhu Cilang was very happy: "Well, why would I say that Sun's partner made great contributions? After returning to Beijing, I will definitely report to Emperor Ming, and everyone will praise him."

Hong Chengchou nodded in a hurry: "It is really admirable that my father-in-law is so brave at such a young age."

Wangcai became too much at a loss: "The Governor is too much, and this is his best command."

It’s not that Hong Chengchou likes to flatter, because he knows that if he wants to survive in the Ming Dynasty, he has to have a good relationship with the people in the capital. Moreover, Sun Wangcai is also the personal eunuch next to the prince.

Even if you don’t curry favor with such a person, you must not offend him. Hong Chengchou understands this truth very well, and it is indeed worthy of admiration that Wangcai can kill Haoge.

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "Okay, don't praise each other. Hong Chengchou, I still have to hurry back to Beijing and can't stay in Jinzhou for too long."

Zhu Cilang is really busy. He must return to Beijing as soon as possible. There are still many things to deal with in the imperial village. I don’t know how Lai Fu’s seeds are popularized.

Originally, Zhu Cilang's plan was to popularize new crop seeds in at least northern Zhili, Shandong, Jingji and even Henan.

However, Zhu Cilang thought about everything too simply. Not to mention anything else, transportation is a big problem.

Not to mention the efficiency of the court's affairs, local officials are willing to vigorously popularize it. It is almost impossible to just talk about this transportation.

It is unrealistic to develop from the capital city to Shandong, Henan, Hebei and others. It is thankful that they can protect the surrounding areas of the capital and popularize these crops.

It is impossible to really promote it nationwide without decades. Crops such as sweet potatoes and corn have actually started to be planted in the mid-Ming Dynasty, but they were not promoted on a large scale until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.

Among them, it is not just because of the court. There are also some local officials with knowledgeable people who have discovered the benefits of these crops. They also tried to promote planting during their tenure, but the results were still very little.

Not to mention anything else, not to mention a province and a prefecture, even a small county, it will take at least several years to popularize the planting of emerging crops on a large scale. It will take decades to popularize new crops throughout the Ming Dynasty, even if there are enough seeds.

Zhu Cixuan knew that his steps were a bit big. Not to mention anything else, as long as he could ensure that he could be popularized in the Gyeonggi area, it would be thankful.

Hong Chengchou wanted to keep it. After all, he still had many places to ask for advice from Liaodong military defense. However, the prince is really busy with official business, and Hong Chengchou is not good at saying anything at the moment.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince takes care of you all the way, but your Highness, the old minister, still have something to say."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "Mr. Hong, don't be polite. If you have something to say, it's okay."

Hong Chengchou pondered for a moment, then said, "Your Highness is wise and powerful. He killed the eldest son of Jiannu, Haoge, outside the city. When Huang Taiji knows, he will definitely raise troops to seek revenge in the future. What I mean is that if Huang Taiji dares to launch troops to invade, I want to take the initiative."

Hong Chengchou was eager to try it out. He knew that if Huang Taiji learned that Haoge died tragically, he would definitely come to seek revenge at all costs. At that time, Hong Chengchou could let the Liaodong Army have passive defense and instead take the initiative.

Now the Liaodong Army has undergone a series of reform and training, and its combat effectiveness has been further improved. Hong Chengchou wants to try it. If he can defeat Huang Taiji in one battle, he can maintain the long-term stability of the Liaodong defense line.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Cilang shook his head when he heard this: "No, never take the initiative."

Hong Chengchou was shocked: "Your Highness, the morale of the Liaodong soldiers is high now, and Jiannu is in a weak time. How can this great opportunity be missed in vain?"

Zhu Cilang said seriously: "Hong Chengchou, I warn you. If Huang Taiji really attacks, you can only defend yourself by passively and never go out of the city to attack. Do you understand!"

Hong Chengchou still didn't understand very well, but the prince insisted on doing this, so he had to ambiguously: "I will act according to the opportunity."

Zhu Cilang sighed: "Mr. Hong, if you want the Liaodong soldiers to make contributions, I know it too. But what you don't know is that Huang Taiji is no longer able to go south. Within three or two years, Huang Taiji will not pose a threat to us. The domestic bandits that I am worried about must first settle the country with foreign aggression. At present, the main policy of the court is on the bandits, and you must not attack easily on Jiannu. What you can do is to defend the Liaodong defense line."

The Ming Dynasty must first stabilize the country when fighting against foreign countries. It is actually correct for the Ming Dynasty in front of him. Zhu Cilang did not want the Liaodong Army to take risks. He fought with Huang Taiji's cavalry. Although the Hu Ben Army performed well, the Qing cavalry was not vegetarian.

Zhu Cilang was not sure, so that the Liaodong Army and the Qing soldiers could win when they fought. For things that were not sure, it would be better not to rush to take risks. Otherwise, there would be big problems in the entire Liaodong defense line.
