The navy went down the river and was very fast. He arrived at the Xuzhou Prefecture to govern Yibin in two or three days.

While staying in Yibin for supply, Zhu Mei got off the boat and met with the prefect of Xuzhou, the magistrate of Yibin and other officials, but they just asked these officials to meet her and ask a few questions about the local affairs.

Finally, he met Fan Yiheng, who was unemployed at home.

"My memory, Fan Yiheng meets Qiansheng, the governor!"

"Flat."

"Thank you, the State Council."

Although Fan Yiheng is already seventy-two, her hair is still a little black, her figure is medium and thin, and she is energetic.

Zhu Nishi and Hao Guangming, who saw him through the mobile phone camera, couldn't help but nod.

Fan Yiheng was in good physical condition and mental state. No wonder he was able to support Sichuan where warlords fought for five or six years in the late Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, Fan Yiheng also boldly glanced at Zhu Mai Yu for one or two times, and couldn't help but feel dazed.

Living to his age is somewhat sensible.

Therefore, he could feel the power of this princess at a glance, and the princess's expression was dignified and steady, and her eyes looked calm and gentle, giving him the feeling that it was more emperor than Chongzhen, who had been emperor for many years.

Coupled with the thousands of boats moored on the pier now, especially the five tall iron-armored warships that looked like red and fire, and the tens of thousands of elite soldiers who went ashore to rest, the feeling of pressure from the powerful emperor became even more obvious.

This is obvious from standing aside, you can't even look up at the performance of the princess's prefect of Xuzhou, the magistrate of Yibin and other officials.

Just as Fan Yiheng suddenly realized, he heard Zhu Ma say in a clear and pleasant voice: "You are in good health recently?"

Fan Yiheng came to his senses and hurriedly said, "The State of Labor is concerned about the country, and the old minister is in good health."

Zhu Mai smiled again and said, "He Zhen was able to surrender anyway before, thanks to the letters from you who took you to you."

"The old minister has limited influence on He Zhen, so he dare not take credit for this matter."

"You are too humble to take the Duke," Zhu Ma said, but the topic changed, saying: "The father issued an order to restore the Duke to take the Duke to govern the military affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi two years ago. However, due to the obstacles, the appointment was not delivered.

When our palace was in Chengdu to supervise the country, we often thought of wise ministers and generals, and we also thought of asking you to bring the Duke to the supervise government to help.

It was just that I thought that I was over 70 years old and could not bear to be tired anymore, so I let the Duke continue to be prosperous in the village."

After hearing what Zhu Ma said, Fan Yiheng's eyes were not only moist.

Because he heard that Zhu Ma was explaining to him why he did not continue to carry out the appointment of Chongzhen for the 16th year.

It should be noted that in the Ming and Qing dynasties, which had already been highly centralized, the emperor always wanted the ministers to die, and the emperor was always right.

Therefore, no emperor has ever admitted his mistakes to his ministers, nor has he explained and comforted his ministers so carefully to his ministers.

Although Zhu Mai did not ask Fan Yiheng to govern the military affairs of Sichuan and Shaanxi according to the 16th year of Chongzhen, he could issue an order last year to give Fan Yiheng the title of right assistant minister of the Ministry of War and deputy chief censor of retirement and honor.

Otherwise, according to Fan Yiheng's previous experience of being dismissed from office and returning home, he was not qualified to call himself a "subject" in front of Zhu Mo, and could only be called a "scholar".

With grace, he also explained the causes of the previous events specifically. In Fan Yiheng's view, Zhu Ma's so magnanimous can be compared with the virtues of Emperor Taizong of Tang.

Originally, he was still a little concerned about the princess's reign, but now he has no other thoughts.

He felt that perhaps it was because Zhu Ma was wise and had the qualities of a wise ruler that he could "get what God is so proud of and grant supernatural powers."

···

Zhu Mai was in Yibin and stayed for only half a day before leading the navy to continue walking along the river.

On the second floor of the Imperial Boat Palace Pavilion, Zhu Mai kept on the phone with Hao Guangming through a video of her mobile phone.

In order to facilitate Zhu Meiyu to control military and political affairs in Chengdu, Hao Guangming established a three-person group with only him and Zhu Meiyu and Zhu Meiyu, and then started a group video call.

In this way, Zhu Nishi was able to directly see the situation in Chengyun Hall through group video calls.

Similarly, the large rear projection screen on the throne in the Chengyun Hall can also show the scene of Zhu Xiao working on the imperial ship.

This function is limited to three people - because after the mysterious black jade ring was broken, its mysterious energy was only associated with three people.

After getting on the boat from Yibin, Zhu Mai saw Li Yan coming to Chengyun Hall.

He saluted to the throne, and after the ceremony, he said, "I reported to the state of governor, and Lu Daqi sent the latest military information back from Hanzhong. On the 16th day of the first lunar month, the Qing army captured Tongguan guarded by the Shun Army.

At present, Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Niu Jinxing, Song Xiance and others have led the remnants from Lantian Zhishangzhou to southwest Henan and go to Huguang.

Li Guo from the North Road of Shunjun, Gao Yigong led the remnants of his troops to enter Sichuan through Hanzhong. He was currently intercepted by Lu Daqi's army in Fengxian in the northern part of Hanzhong.

He is currently trying to persuade Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others to surrender."

Zhu Mai frowned slightly after hearing this, and asked, "Director Li believes that if Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others are unwilling to surrender for the time being, what should we do?"

Li Yan said: "Lu Daqi sent back the military information and was also asking about this matter.

I think that although we do not want to fight the Shun army led by Li Guo, if they do not surrender, we should not let them go to Hanzhong and into Sichuan.

According to the military information sent back by Lu Daqi, Li Guo's troops still have tens of thousands of troops. If they fight with us in Hanzhong or Sichuan, they will definitely involve a lot of our troops."

Hearing this, Hao Guangming couldn't help but say, "In my opinion, Li Guo and Gao Yigong and others may not choose to go to Hanzhong and Sichuan to Huguang after they learned that Hanzhong was occupied by us.

After all, they have broken through the capital and forced your father to death. Even if you say you are willing to use the truth, they don’t believe it.”

Zhu Mai thought Hao Guangming’s statement was reasonable, but in fact she was not as magnanimous as to give the Shunjun who did not surrender.

So he said: "If Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others do not want to surrender, we do not need to fight with them, so we let them retreat to Pingliang Prefecture and Ningxia in northwest Shaanxi to cooperate with us to fight the Qing Dynasty. What does Li think?"

Li Yan said: "I think so too."

"Then this matter will be settled."

···

Shaanxi, Feng County, Hanzhong Prefecture.

Li Guo and the tens of thousands of Shun Army vanguards led by Gao Yigong have arrived in Maling Pass, Yaoqiu Pass and Chai Pass, but the troops behind the palace are still in Fengyang Prefecture and have not yet passed Dasan Pass.

Because Yu Shun Army's Northern Route Army was more important to find a way to evacuate from Shaanxi, Li Guo and Gao Yigong are currently in the vanguard army.

They originally thought that even if He Zhen failed to invade Sichuan, they could go to Xing'anzhou through Hanzhong, and then enter Kuizhou Prefecture, Sichuan through the litchi road to Huguang.

Unexpectedly, not only did He Zhen surrender to the Ming army, but even Hanzhong Prefecture was almost entirely captured by the Ming army in Sichuan.

As for the situation in Xing'anzhou and Kuizhou Prefecture, Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others still don't know.

In the Shun Army camp at the foot of Wudu Mountain.
