Chapter 272: Getting ready to return to Beijing, asking for monthly tickets. Please ask for monthly tickets for the super cargo transport ship.

Niu Jinxing was about to leave when he suddenly noticed that Li Zicheng's body was moving a little stiffly.

"Your Highness, are you injured?"

"A piece of iron or something flew just now and stuck into my stomach. I'll just ask the doctor to come over and clean it later. We can't let the generals know about this."

Li Zicheng endured the stinging pain he was used to and ordered.

During the explosion, a piece of liquefied gas tank fragments flew over and were far enough away that only the tip was inserted into his stomach. However, the sergeant must not be informed at this time, otherwise the morale of the army would be disturbed.

"Alas, success is also auspicious! Failure is also auspicious!"

"You can't say that, Your Highness, we haven't fought against Chongzhen's son yet, how can we say defeat? He is just a beast.

Seeing that Li Zicheng was a little discouraged, Niu Jinxing quickly persuaded him that if Li Zicheng lost confidence, he would have no choice but to rebel on his own.

Dashun's army put away the conspicuous flag and dispersed everyone towards Wen County.

Now Li Zicheng could only rejoice that fortunately they had not set up camp just now, otherwise the camp would have been the best target for attack.

tent?

Li Zicheng's face, which was already a little pale due to his injury, turned as white as wax paper.

"Ju Ming! Get people to disperse the food team quickly! That beast flew over twice, with an interval of three quarters of an hour. We only have a quarter of an hour."

At Shengjing Airport, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen to fly the drone back to Damingfu airspace, and then added a liquefied gas bomb to prepare for another wave of bombings.

Although the peasant army was all farmers, to him, those who took up arms were his enemies. Moreover, Li Zicheng's position was to overthrow him, so he would naturally not be polite.

After flying back for the second time, there was no trace of the peasant army on both sides of the Yellow River. In the distance, drones were discovered and the peasant army began to flee in disarray. The flags were also gone.

"Your Majesty, they are all hiding. Do we want to go to the county seat?"

"What are you talking about? The county is full of ordinary people, how can it be possible to bomb directly.

Well, I still need to look around and see if I can't find their granary."

Chongzhen waved his hand, just as Niu Jinxing thought, Chongzhen really did not launch an indiscriminate attack on Gong County, which is ten miles away, and Wen County on the north bank. Chongzhen still knew which one was lighter and which was more serious.

The drone circled Wen County and finally discovered the granary defended by the peasant army in Wen County.

Below the field of vision, groups of peasant soldiers were holding various tools to sort out the grain from the granary and take it away. When they heard the sound above their heads, they scattered a lot of rice in a panic.

"That thing is coming! That thing is coming!"

"Don't panic! Save the food quickly. If you don't have food, you will die!!"

The young grain rescuer sent by Li Zicheng on horseback did not hesitate at all and chopped down the farmer who fled to him with an empty dustpan in his hand.

After briefly maintaining order, he ran towards a place with fewer people.

The drone circled the granary area several times, and it was obvious that Chongzhen was also conflicted in his heart. According to its location, this granary was the county granary. If it was really bombed, a lot of people in Wen County would probably die.

Under Li Zicheng's horrified gaze from afar, the drone turned around and flew back to Zhili. Chongzhen still did not choose to open the warehouse and drop the bomb.

"Oh, forget it. If the food runs out, many people in the peasant army will starve to death. There is already a famine in Henan now. Forget it, just fly back."

"Well, Your Majesty, you are kind, and the people will surely think of you more. Since ancient times, tyrants have been easy to do, but benevolent kings who care about the people are rare."

When Wang Chengen heard Chongzhen's words, he flew the drone back, and he admired Chongzhen's choice even more.

Early the next morning, Chongzhen summoned the officials in Shengjing and announced that he was going to return to the court three days later.

"Qiu Aiqing, Jiang Aiqing.

I appoint you to serve as the Chief Envoy of Liaodong to lead the establishment of the people's livelihood, education, taxation, medical care, and official system in Liaodong.

Hong Aiqing, you will serve as the Governor of Liaodong, the Inspector of Liaodong, commanding the Royal Army of Liaodong, and reorganizing the soldiers of the guard station.

As well as the administration of officials in Liaodong, integrity assessment, and deputy envoys, I will continue to appoint them."

"I obey the decree."

There is nothing unexpected about Chongzhen's appointment. Qiu Minyang and Hong Chengchou have been running Liaodong for many years, and they are more familiar with various relationships with the generals in Liaodong.

Now that the main force in Liaodong has become the Royal Army, they cannot deny the orders of the foreign emperor, so Chongzhen Fang has greater rights.

"The rest of you dear friends, will return to Beijing with me in three days and prepare to join in the work of disaster relief and epidemic eradication.

Prince of Shu, should you return to Beijing with me to study, or should you stay in Shengjing and continue to recruit and surrender the Mongolian tribes?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I want to stay...

Of course, I will return to the capital with His Majesty, and the Khans of the Mongolian tribes in Monan, I will ask them to go directly to the capital to meet His Majesty, which will also show more sincerity."

Hauge originally wanted to say stay, but he suddenly realized that staying in Shengjing would not only give him no enjoyment, he would not be able to do anything, he would be subject to restrictions everywhere, and it would not necessarily be safe.

Instead, he went to the capital, where Chongzhen would give him a large amount of money every month, and there was an imperial merchant house, so he could buy whatever he wanted.

If he had an accident in the capital, Chongzhen would break his promise, but if he stayed in Shengjing, then after his death, Chongzhen would issue an obituary and be extremely sad.

"Well, then prepare to take your family with you. When you get to the capital, let your children go to school. If you are talented in the future, find a fief.

Everyone else, hurry up and arrange the work at hand and don’t leave anything behind.”

After Chongzhen's order was issued, the telegram was conveyed to the capital cabinet before them. After all, returning to the imperial court is worth commemorating, isn't it?

Zhu Cihong, who was studying with Fan Fucui and Ni Yuanlu in the cabinet, heard the telegram from the official. He sat upright to read the report and his body became weak and he let out a long breath.

"Your Highness, please do not relax.

Your Majesty will set off in three days. At the speed of a motorcycle, it will still take two days. You will have to pass through various governments along the way. You will have to deal with government affairs for at least five days.

This is a rare opportunity, please continue to read this memorial. This is a memorial sent from Jiangnan. On the surface..."

Zhu Cixiang's little face wrinkled up, he took the memorial from Fan Fucui, looked at the annotations on it, and listened to Fan Fucui's explanation, he felt a lot of pain in his heart.

It would be fine if he was qualified to make decisions. The key point is that he was not qualified to make decisions in all memorials. Instead, he had to guess what the memorials were and then send suggestions to Chongzhen. This was very annoying.

Xiao Zhu was having a hard time, and the Dashun Army who was gathering in Wen County was also having a hard time at this time. Although Chongzhen finally relented and did not touch their food and grass, the problems they faced were equally severe.

"Your Highness, it has been confirmed that Yufeng died on the bridge. Currently we only have 40,000 troops and more than 100,000 civilians in Wen County.

There are still 20,000 soldiers and 60,000 civilians on the other side of the river. Some escaped in the riot yesterday. At present, General Yuan has gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and 40,000 civilians, waiting for the next order."

"Alas, Yufeng is such a pity.

There are also these common people who have run away. They don’t even think about whether they can survive after running away. Aren’t the refugees everywhere the officials’ pigs and dogs? I at least give them food.”

Li Zicheng was a little angry and fled with the people who were coercing him. These people followed him and wasted his food, but he still supported them to gain fame.

At the critical moment, they only needed to resist the government troops, but now these people ran away. They really didn't know what was good or bad.

"By the way, Ju Ming, I still have some advice. Yesterday, when we showed people auspicious signs, that thing threw firearms and attacked us, causing numerous casualties. How should we explain it to the people now to appease the morale of the army?"

"Your Highness, my subordinates are stupid, so they want to run to a safe place whenever there is an obstacle. This is understandable. There is no need to be angry.

As for the issue of auspiciousness, I just need to give them a reasonable explanation so that they can believe it. I am thinking about making something better for auspiciousness."

"By the way, Your Highness, please give us some advice. We have never encountered this big bird like Chongzhen's son in Nanyang or Ruzhou. We only heard from the north.

But it appeared just after crossing the river yesterday, which means that the big bird cannot fly far beyond Zhili, and at most it can only fly near Damingfu."

Niu Jinxing's words made Song Xiance's eyes light up and he came up with an idea.

"Yes, just say that Xiangrui showed us his ability, but it was controlled by Chongzhen Xiaoer and wanted to kill all the people.

Yesterday it was the prince who was subduing him and fighting with him. Now that you have subdued him, he will never attack you again.

Just like last night, it was guarding our granary, and those dead soldiers have all been reincarnated into wealthy families.

But in this case, we can no longer march towards Zhili, otherwise if we encounter that big bird again, we may be defeated before we engage in battle."

"Then we won't go to Zhili. Now we can only go north, south or west.

To the north, the prefectures in Shanxi can border the Mongolian tribes and obtain war horses. However, Shanxi is close to Zhili, and it is not sure whether the big bird can fly over the mountains.

To the west, the drought in Shaanxi will become more serious, so we can only go south, reopen Henan, and then wait for an opportunity to defeat Yang Sichang and return to Huguang."

Li Ziguang made a decisive decision not to continue going north. Although Chongzhen was now in Jinzhou and could not control the capital, they were also completely frightened by the drone offensive.

No matter how much money they have to rob, they still have to have the strength to take it.

If the bomb didn't fall this time, who can guarantee it next time?

When Li Zicheng had a headache, the modern world was on the other side.

After Chen Ye turned off all the electrical appliances at home, he traveled to the Ming Dynasty.

Chongzhen is still staying outside the airport, but the space-time door exit here has been turned into a prefabricated house. The weather is hot, the prefab house is stuffy, and it is even equipped with air conditioning.

A total of seven prefabricated houses form Shengjing's decision-making center, radio command center, broadcast station, and Sun Chuanting's co-working space.

Several WIFI routers have also been equipped with extra fans. In the open space farther away, a series of moving construction vehicles are smoking, and they are neatly receiving driver training to learn how to drive.

A little closer to the prefab area are several dismantled construction vehicles.

A soldier wearing a camera helmet was reciting to other soldiers the teacher who was explaining incessantly on the other end of the video, asking them to learn the various parts of the engineering vehicle and repair and correct each other in time under the video.

Chen Ye saw the lively scenes far and near from the window of the wooden house and was a little overwhelmed.

"What you are doing here almost has a modern feel. Am I still in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Haha, shopkeeper, you think so too, right? But all this is your credit.

I just like to stay here, with the air conditioner blowing, no matter how ugly the report brought by Sun Aiqing and others is, as long as I look outside, I can calmly think of a solution."

Chongzhen said cheerfully and handed Chen Ye a glass of freshly squeezed juice.

"You can drink. I have to put on makeup first and then hurry up. If you don't go out for a long time, you will be suspected."

"Make up? Shopkeeper, do you know how to put on makeup?"

When Chongzhen heard Chen Ye's words, his eyes lit up and he stared at Chen Ye's movements.

Chen Ye ignored him and took out a bunch of things from the space. First, he stuck a beard on his face, lips, and chin, which still couldn't be removed even if he pulled it off.

Then he picked up the foundation, patted it on his face, modified it, and finally added some shadows to make him look thinner.

Paired with a pair of flat glasses, the hairstyle was changed from the original short haircut to an adhesive hair cover.
