It was the fourth day of August in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen.

Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, and Cao Xun led the triumphant army back to Chengdu.

Zhu Yuyao recounted the merits of the three men and many generals under their command in the Chengyun Hall.

"Zeng Ying had a good strategy and a good deployment. For this first victory, he was promoted to the deputy chief military officer of Chengdu and was rewarded with 500 taels of silver, 100 pieces of silk and satin, and 30 pieces of Sichuan brocade."

The so-called deputy commander-in-chief is the deputy general, between the participating generals and the commander-in-chief.

Zeng Ying could become a high-ranking military commander at the age of twenty-three. In the future, let alone the position of commander-in-chief, he would also be granted the title of marquis.

Therefore, after listening to Fang Zhenghua read the decree issued by Zhu Yuyao in the name of supervising the country, Zeng Ying immediately knelt down and said: "General Zeng Ying, I accept the decree to thank you!"

After that, Fang Zhenghua read out Zhu Yu'a's awards to other people one after another.

"Yang Zhan and Cao Xun led the cavalry to meet the enemy this time. They were both brave and courageous. They defeated the enemy's cavalry and beheaded dozens of them.

Therefore, Yang Zhan and Cao Xun were promoted to the guerrilla general of the Chengdu camp, and each was rewarded with three hundred taels of silver, one hundred pieces of silk and satin, and ten pieces of Shu brocade."

Yang Zhan and Cao Xun went out together to kneel down and thank Zhu Auao on the throne.

Subsequently, three more generals, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dahai, and Zhang Tianxiang, were appointed as the commander-in-chief of the camp. They were each rewarded with a hundred taels of silver and thirty pieces of silk and satin.

Then, dozens of meritorious people headed by Dong Qiongying were appointed as camp commanders.

In fact, Zhu Ayao intended to transfer Dong Qiongying to her personal guard camp, but knowing that Dong Qiongying and Zeng Ying had not yet formally married, but they were already close to each other, she planned to ask Dong Qiongying's thoughts later before making a decision.

In addition to these generals who directly participated in the battle, Zhu Yuyao also rewarded the pilots of the Flying Eagles such as Red Lady.

They were mainly rewarded with silver coins and silk satin. They were not promoted, but their merits were recorded. They will only discuss the merits together after Zhang Xianzhong is dealt with.

After some rewards, most of the generals left the Shu Palace and returned to the camp.

Only Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, and Cao Xun stayed and followed Li Yan, Hong Niangzi and others to Xifu to discuss how to prepare and respond to the subsequent war.

Although they had won a big victory and had the "drone beheading plan" as their trump card in the Chengdu defense war, no civil servants or military generals in Chengdu could really relax when they thought of Zhang Xianzhong's hundreds of thousands of troops.

With Zhang Xianzhong's military strength, even excluding those whose combat effectiveness is too weak to be counted, Chengdu City can be surrounded on all sides, with tens of thousands of capable soldiers placed on each side.

Of course, Chengdu is not very clear about how many elites and capable soldiers Zhang Xianzhong has.

Therefore, the interrogation of captured generals such as Ai Nengqi, Feng Shuangli and others is also in progress...

Hao Guangming was already somewhat curious about Ai Nengqi, one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons. He became even more curious about this man when he heard that during the battle at Longquan Lake, Ai Nengqi almost shot Zeng Ying to death with one arrow, just like in history.

So, at his suggestion, Zhu Yushuo went to see Ai Nengqi on the afternoon of the fifth day of August.

Under the instructions of Zhu Yuluo, Ai Nengqi was imprisoned in a cell in the Shu Palace.

It is said to be a prison cell, but the conditions are not bad. There are beds, tables and chairs, and a toilet.

Just considering Ainengqi's bravery, he put on anklets and bracelets and tied them to the stone pillars in the cell so that he could not escape.

As the fourth of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, Ai Nengqi is only 21 years old this year, which is very young.

He is also straight-tempered and has a somewhat explosive temper. How can he stand being imprisoned?

Within only two or three days after being captured, he had lost a lot of weight and his energy and energy had also slumped a lot.

After being imprisoned in the Shu Palace, he couldn't help but think wildly.

'Are these dog officers and soldiers imprisoning me because they want to wait for my foster father to attack the city and use me as a sacrificial flag?'

'Or maybe you want to use me to threaten your adoptive father to give up the attack on Chengdu?'

'Humph, what a daydream. Even if I, Zhang Nengqi, die, I will never let Gou Guanjun threaten my adoptive father!'

After thinking about it, Ai Nengqi finally made up his mind. If the army wanted to use him to threaten Zhang Xianzhong, he would jump directly from the top of the Chengdu city and live or die!

Determined to die, Enengqi finally stopped being agitated, so he lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after, snoring.

Bang bang bang!

I don't know how long I slept for, but Ainengqi was woken up by a knocking sound.

Then he heard the officers and soldiers guarding him outside say: "Zhang Nengqi, get up quickly, the supervisor wants to see you!"

When he was woken up while sleeping, Ai Nengqi was very angry and yelled without any hesitation: "What bird prison country? I'm not here!"

"You are so bold, you actually dare to insult the Supervisor? I'm sorry for you, right?" After hearing this, the guard captain's expression changed, he shouted, and then led several people into the cell and beat Ainengqi with a scabbard.

Zhu Aolao watched from outside and did not stop him immediately.

After Ai Nengqi was beaten more than a dozen times, failed to resist (she was in a bad condition and had no strength), and was beaten to the point where she held her head, she said calmly: "Stop."

"yes."

The guarding soldiers responded and stepped aside, still glaring at Ai Nengqi. If Ai Nengqi cursed again, they would draw their knives.

Enengqi received a beating and became completely sober.

He was not afraid of death, but he did not want to be beaten to death by a few soldiers in the cell.

So, after sitting up from the bed, he glared viciously at a few soldiers, and then looked outside the cell.

Only when he saw Zhu Yurao outside the cell and the large group of soldiers following Zhu Yurao did he realize that Zhu Yurao's identity was not simple.

It's a pity that although he can recognize some words, he has no education and has no idea what prison country means.

So he frowned and asked: "What kind of prison are you? Why do you want to see me?"

Hao Guangming saw Ai Nengqi clearly through the mobile phone camera and found that although the man had a beard, it was not thick and the beard looked thin and soft, making him obviously very young.

Short in stature, but very strong.

Probably because he has killed many people, and his eyes are indeed ferocious.

Hearing Ai Nengqi's words, Hao Guangming couldn't help but laugh and said: "I'm afraid he doesn't know the meaning of supervising the country at all."

Zhu Ailao couldn't help but smile when she heard this, and then said: "Ai Nengqi? Do you know who I am?"

"Aren't you a prisoner?" Ai Nengqi didn't want you to use your brain at all, so he frowned and said, "Did you know that my last name was Ai?"

Zhu Ya'ao was a little speechless and simply said directly: "I am Princess Kunxing. I was ordered by the late emperor to be the supervisor of the country and in charge of the military and political affairs of the entire Ming Dynasty."

"Are you a princess?" Ai Nengqi still couldn't grasp the key point of supervising the country, but then he thought of another point, "You have the final say in Chengdu now?"

"good."

"Then you are out of luck." Ai Nengqi laughed, "In a few days, my father will come to Chengdu, and millions of troops will attack the city. Chengdu will definitely not be able to bear it.

If you are smart, you can release E and Feng Shuangli now and surrender to E's father, and maybe you can still survive."

Zhu Yuyao couldn't help laughing when she heard this, "It's you who should surrender - if you had surrendered earlier and begged me for mercy, maybe I could spare your adoptive father's life."

"Haha." Ai Nengqi sneered disdainfully.

Zhu Yasuo didn't expect to be able to persuade Ai Nengqi to surrender now. She was just here to satisfy Hao Guangming's and her own curiosity.

In order to prevent Ai Nengqi from saying anything too extreme, she simply shook her head and left.

After Zhu Yuluo left, the captain who was in charge of the custody couldn't stand Ai Nengqi's confident expression that Chengdu would definitely be breached.

He sneered and said: "Boy, do you know who our supervisor is? They are fairies who have descended to earth, have great supernatural powers, and have many magic weapons.

The supervisor said that if Zhang Xianzhong died at the third watch, he would not survive until the fifth watch.
