"The emperor who followed the heavens and inherited the imperial edict said...

Lu Jiude was interrupted by Huang Degong as soon as he began to recite the imperial edict.

"Since it's eight hundred miles to speed up, you're still chanting hard. Do you want me to waste my time by listening to those sour and corrupt literati's messy words? Just tell me what's going on!"

Because he had a friendship with Huang Degong and was trusted by Huang Degong, Lu Jiude's main job after losing power in the Nanjing court became contacting Huang Degong. He was often sent to pass the imperial edict and persuade Huang Degong.

Therefore, Lu Jiude was neither surprised nor annoyed by Huang Degong's words.

He received the imperial edict and said, "Yuan Jixian reported that Princess Kunxing, the daughter of the late emperor, defeated Zhang Zhe in Sichuan last year.

Now he led an army of 100,000 to the east and defeated Zuo Liangyu in Wuchang.

The court was worried that she would lead a large army to Nanjing, so he ordered the Marquis and Liu Liangzuo and Huang Fei to lead the army to intercept them, and did not allow him to lead the army to Nanjing to cause civil strife in the Ming Dynasty."

Huang Degong is not tall, but he is very strong. He is in his thirties and has a beard that looks like a steel needle, and looks both naive and fierce.

After hearing this, he blinked a few times and said in disbelief: "What did you say? Say it again!"

Lu Jiude had no choice but to say it again.

After confirming that he heard it correctly, Huang Degong looked surprised and incredible.

But he quickly questioned: "Old Lu, I don't think any word you said is trustworthy. It's so damn outrageous! The court was fooled by Yuan Jixian, right? Or Yuan Jixian was fooled by others!"

The princess who was supposed to have escaped with the emperor and the prince when the city of Beijing was broken last year, could she still run to Sichuan to supervise the country?!

Forget it, he actually defeated Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Liangyu one after another?!

He remembers that the eldest princess of the late emperor is only sixteen or seventeen years old this year?

If these things were really done by Princess Kunxing, he would have killed Huang Chuangzi. He was better off finding a piece of tofu to kill him. He was not as good as a young woman in many years of war. How could he live?

Lu Jiude smiled bitterly, "Marty, since the court ordered you to intercept it, it should be confirmed that this matter is true.

Besides, the Marquis was going to guard against Zuo Liangyu, and now he only needs to cooperate with Huang Fei to deploy defenses on both sides of the Yangtze River from Wuhu to Digang as soon as possible."

Huang Degong was a rough nerve. At this time, he did not think about the many influences and changes of Princess Kunxing's country supervision. Instead, he asked: "It is okay to let me go to the defense, but the princess really wants to lead the army, I want it.

How to do it?

After all, he was the daughter of the late emperor, and perhaps the only blood in his life now. Your Majesty wouldn't let me hit her, right?

Also, the court said before that the prince from the north was fake, so it would be fine, don’t say that the princess was fake!”

Lu Jiude handed over the imperial edict and said, "The Marquis can read the imperial edict. Your Majesty only said that he would intercept the princess' army and not pass through Wuhu.

As for whether to fight or persuade, it is up to the marquis to decide according to the situation, or to follow the court's follow-up orders.

However, our family has heard from His Majesty that if Princess Kunxing could put the overall situation first, supervise the country, and hand over military power to the court, she could go to Nanjing to upbring.

Our family also heard that His Majesty is already selecting the candidate for Princess Kunxing.

As the Marquis said before, Princess Kunxing was the only blood of the late emperor after all. Your Majesty is the uncle of the great-grandfather with him, so he naturally needs to take good care of him."

In Huang Degong's perception, he also believed that the princess was not suitable for the country to be supervised, and he should not have caused civil strife in the Ming Dynasty for this matter.

As a woman, she should get married and take care of her husband and children at home.

The princess is a country supervisor and a leader. What's the point of making trouble?

I think the spirit of the late emperor in heaven doesn’t want to see the princess like this.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I really want to stop the princess on the river and I will do it."

Lu Jiude did not leave, but said, "This time our family still has the order to supervise the army, so I will ask the marquis to take care of him."

"What's the relationship between us?" Huang Degong waved his hand with a smile, "As long as you don't affect my leadership, you can ensure that you can eat and drink enough in the army!"

The ship headed east from Jiujiang Prefecture, entered Nanzhili, and then arrived in Anqing (Jiangbei) and Chizhou (Jiangnan).

Continue to go east, there are Luzhou Prefecture (Jiangbei), Taiping Prefecture (Jiangnan), and Hezhou (Jiangbei).

Further east is Yingtian Prefecture, where Nanjing is located.

On this day, the ship arrived at Anqing Prefecture to govern Huaining and easily captured the Ming Dynasty's official army stationed here. The army led by Zhu Mai stopped to repair it.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Mai was transferred to the imperial ship for a meeting.

"According to the spies' reward, if our army continues to move eastward along the Yangtze River, the biggest obstacle we encounter is most likely the navy of Huang Fei stationed in Wuhu, Taiping Prefecture.

In addition, if the Hongguang pseudo-Emperor knew that our army was heading east, he would send troops to intercept it.

Their institution was either Huang Degong or Liu Liangzuo, or both of them came.

General Dong, let’s introduce the general situation of these three people and their troops.”

On the first floor of the Imperial Ship Palace Pavilion, Zhu Niu directly built a projector here and used a ppt made by Hao Guangming to show information to several generals of the army.

This information was collected and sorted out by Hao Guangming through various channels on both sides of the Ming Dynasty and modern times.

Of course, the information about Huang Degong and the other two does not include what will happen in the future - only Zhu Mai and Hao Guangming knew about those things.

Zhu Ma asked Dong Qiongying to explain, not only because it was difficult to explain things in her identity, but also because she intended to train Dong Qiongying, hoping to train another female general or female staff officer.

When Dong Qiongying was explaining, Zhu Mai also sorted out the information of the three people in his heart.

Among them, Huang Degong is very famous, and Zhu Mai studied his information a lot a lot of time.

He was from Kaiyuanwei, Liaodong. He joined the army when he was a young man and became a personal soldier (school servant).

Then he kept fighting against the Donglu in Liaodong, and his achievements were promoted to guerrillas.

Later, when the Qing army invaded, Huang Degong was appreciated by Chongzhen for his contribution to defending the capital and promoted him to deputy general and became one of the newly-edition heads of the Yongwei camp.

Next is the suppression of bandits in Henan and Jiangbei.

By the 17th year of Chongzhen, many generals who suppressed the bandits became substantial warlords. In order to stabilize these warlords, Chongzhen also lost Huang Degong, the direct descendant, and appointed him as the Jingnan Bo.

Then, as one of the four towns in Jiangbei, he supported King Fu as Emperor Hongguang.

In history, Huang Degong died because of carelessness. After Liu Liangsuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he led the Qing army to loudly persuade Huang Degong to surrender on the river bank.

Huang Degong angrily scolded Liu Liangzuo, maybe there was a sharpshooter in the Qing army, and he shot his neck with an arrow...

As for Liu Liangzuo, his strength and ability rank in the bottom two among the four towns in Jiangbei, and in history he took the initiative to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Zhu Mai knew that Liu Liangzuo surrendered to the Qing Dynasty not only because of fear of death and power, but also because his younger brother Liu Liangchen surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as early as the Battle of Dalinghe in the fourth year of Chongzhen, but the Ming Dynasty had never known it.

Therefore, Zhu Mai had already decided that even if Liu Liangzuo did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, she would not reuse it. At most, she would be recruited to recruit his troops and horses to be given a free job.

If Liu Liangzuo still surrendered to the Qing Dynasty as in history, he would have to die.

Compared to Huang Degong and Liu Liangzuo, Huang Fei, who is not famous, made Zhu Fei feel unexpectedly happy to find a vacant.

Huang Fei came from the Dongjiang Army and was the nephew of Huang Long, the former general of Dongjiang Town. Later, he inherited the position of Huang Long as a step-son.

Because he had the same surname as Huang Degong and had similar temperaments, he became brothers.

In history, although Huang Fei and Huang Degong defeated Zuo Menggeng's army in Tongling, they also suffered a lot of losses. Huang Degong even suffered one arm injury and almost broke it.

Therefore, it took a lot of time for the two to renovate the army after the war.

Moreover, Zuo Menggeng's hundreds of thousands of troops were only defeated and retreated, not completely wiped out by both.

In addition to the more than 200,000 soldiers who were gathered and retreated by Zuo Menggeng and others, many of them were disbanded, and they became defeated soldiers and bandits.

Therefore, the Nanjing court asked the two to garrison in Taiping Prefecture, and while renovating the army, they wiped out these defeated soldiers and bandits.

In addition, at that time, Nanjing said that there were 200,000 people in the Jing camp, and the city was tall and solid, and the Yangtze River could rely on. Normally, no matter how powerful the Qing army was, it would not be a problem for Nanjing to defend for several months.

What the two of them never expected was that when Zhu Yousong heard that the Qing army came across the river and captured Zhenjiang, he was so scared that he left the subjects in the city and fled.

Under the leadership of Ruan Dayue, Qian Qianyi and other ministers, Nanjing directly opened the city gate and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty...

Zhu Yousong ran to Wuhu to ask Huang Degong for protection, and the two learned the news.

Later, Huang Degong was killed by an arrow because he was careless. Several generals under his command captured Zhu Yousong as soon as they planned to lead most of Huang Degong's army to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

Faced with such a situation, Huang Fei did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

He led 20,000 naval troops to go eastward to find Zheng Hongkui, who was Jinglubo of the Hongguang court, in order to continue to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, Zheng Hongkui had already led the Zheng family naval troops to run away.

So Huang Fei had to lead his army to escape into Taihu Lake.

When the Qing army was at its most powerful momentum in the south, he still insisted on resisting the Qing Dynasty and was regarded as the leader of the alliance by many anti-Qing rebels in Jiangnan.

Unfortunately, the Qing army was helped by many surrendered troops and was in a strong momentum. Huang Fei only persisted for two months and was defeated when he retreated to Zhoushan.

He was shot in three arrows at that time, so more than 30 family members of the family dived and committed suicide, and he followed him.

But the Qing army caught him and forced him to surrender.

He refused to surrender and his left hand was broken.

Later, he was sent to Nanjing and persuaded to surrender by Hong Chengchou, but he scolded Hong Chengchou, so his right hand was broken again.

If you continue to scold, your tongue will be cut off again.

He was tortured by the Qing army in this way, but he still did not surrender. It was only two months later that the Qing army was pulled outside the Shuixi Gate and beheaded.

The ending is extremely tragic.

···

After Dong Qiongying finished speaking, Zhu Mai came to her senses.

Then he heard the lady Hong say, "Since Huang has achieved merit and Huang Fei is a loyal and righteous person, and his troops are quite strong, we will persuade him to surrender first.
Chapter completed!
