When dealing with Chen Junchong, Zhu Yuyao did not immediately show the video of Chongzhen's edict.

Chen Junchong was older and had just recovered a little, so Zhu Aona was afraid of frightening him.

Moreover, Chen Junchong was a civil servant in the 46th year of Wanli reign, not a Jinshi in the Chongzhen year, and he had never met Chongzhen.

Therefore, the impact of the Chongzhen edict video on Chen Junchong may not be as great as on Ma Ke.

Finally, Chen Junchong was already loyal to the Ming Dynasty and should be better persuaded.

Even if he didn't think that women could achieve great things, the only thing he could rely on at the moment was Princess Zhu Auao.

What's more, Zhu Yu'ao was still a prisoner of the country appointed by Chongzhen's imperial edict, which was justifiable.

Chen Junchong was stunned for several seconds with a face full of surprise, and then he quickly picked up the imperial edict and looked at it.

Although Chen Junchong had never received an imperial edict of this level, he had seen it before, and even recognized Chongzhen's handwriting and seal on it.

Opening the wooden box again, there are indeed twenty-four seals of the Ming Emperor.

Although Chen Junchong still had a lot of doubts, he thought that even if it was a drama before him, he would still need to cooperate in order to get the chance to expose Ma Ke's conspiracy under the walls of Chengdu.

What's more, at this time, he already felt that it didn't look like a lie.

The imperial edicts and seals of the Ming Dynasty are not easy to forge, not to mention that the edicts were written by Chongzhen himself.

So Chen Junchong immediately bowed down to Zhu Yusao and said: "My lord, Chen Junchong, the magistrate of Tongchuan, pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

"Mr. Chen, please get up quickly." Zhu Ainao hurriedly stepped forward to help Chen Junchong up and said, "I am aware of everything Mr. Chen has done since he took office in Sichuan. As Mr. Chen said, 'A husband should act vigorously and pledge himself to the country.'

His words make me admire him even more. Speaking of which, it is because Ming Dynasty is so loyal and virtuous to Mr. Bu Chen."

Even though Chen Junchong still had doubts about Zhu Yuluo's identity, she was still deeply moved when she suddenly heard these words, and her old eyes even couldn't help but shed tears.

He shouted in his heart: This must be the real Princess of the Ming Dynasty! She is the supervisor of the country left by your Majesty to the Ming Dynasty!

"Your Highness, your Majesty..."

When Chen Junchong opened his mouth, he was choked for a moment and could not speak.

Ma Ke on the side now knows a lot about Chen Junchong, his temporary rival.

At this time, comparing myself, I suddenly understood why the princess valued Chen Junchong so much.

In terms of his contribution to the Ming Dynasty, he may not be less favored than Chen Jun, but in terms of loyalty, he is far less favored than Chen Jun.

"I know Mr. Chen still has many doubts. Please sit down first and let's talk slowly."

After saying that, Zhu Aao helped Chen Junchong sit down, then returned to the main seat and asked everyone else to take their seats.

After Chen Junchong's mood stabilized, Zhu A'ao explained her story of "gaining great powers from heaven" and then showed Chen Junchong the video of Chongzhen's edict on her tablet computer.

After that, it was about subduing Li Yan and Red Lady, leaving the camp, and going to Sichuan to "talk about surrendering" Ma Ke.

One by one, Chen Junchong was shocked.

Even others were shocked.

In addition, he has seen magical treasures such as tablet computers with his own eyes. Even if Zhu Yuya now says that she is the reincarnation of the Nine Heavens Xuannv, he will not be surprised, but will calmly believe it.

As for Ma Ke, he had seen another treasure like Zhu Yuluo, so he naturally had fewer distracting thoughts in his heart.

After gaining Chen Junchong's trust, Zhu Yucai said: "I can definitely tell you that the invading army is no longer a concern. From now on, our great enemy of the Ming Dynasty is Jiannu.

I entered Sichuan because I wanted Sichuan's money, food and geographical location, so that I could reorganize the local government, officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and then defeat Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng to enter the Sichuan headquarters and recruit their troops.

By accomplishing these things, we can communicate with the Nanjing court and the southeastern part of the Ming Dynasty through the Yangtze River, and then we can have the opportunity to stop the Jian slaves from going south, and even drive them out of the country."

After hearing this, Chen Junchong thought for a moment, then frowned and sighed: "Your Highness does not know that although there have been relatively few disasters in central Sichuan in recent years, the people's lives are not easy, and the government also lacks money and food.

Otherwise, the military equipment in various places would not have been abandoned to this point, allowing Zhang Xianzhong to attack Kuizhou and Chongqing one after another."

"Who said there is no money and food in central Sichuan?" Zhu Aao said with a smile, "The money and food are in Chengdu!"

Qian Liang is in Chengdu?

Chen Junchong and Ma Ke were a little confused for a moment after hearing this.

However, because Ma Ke had voted for the Chuang Army, he quickly thought of some of the behaviors of the Chuang Army and Zhang Xianzhong's troops. He couldn't help but have a glimmer of light in his eyes and said tentatively: "Your Highness is saying..."

He didn't dare to continue speaking for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Chen Junchong finally thought of something and couldn't help but look at Zhu Aao in surprise.

Zhu Ayao said directly with a smile: "My uncle, the king of Shu, has been running his family in Chengdu for thirteen generations. Since Shu is so prosperous, he must have accumulated a huge amount of money and food.

Now that the country is facing a crisis, I think my uncle, the king of Shu, will definitely understand the righteousness and donate all the money and food to me to save the country."

Although she already knew what the princess was thinking, the red lady almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard this.

Chen Junchong and Ma Ke both looked strange.

The previous vassal kings all fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other bandits, but now the King of Shu is going to fall into the hands of Princess Daming?

As for the saying that the King of Shu understood the righteousness and took the initiative to donate money and food, others did not know it, but Chen Junchong, who had been an official in Shu for several years, knew very well that it was simply impossible.

The stinginess and greed for money of Shu King Zhu Zhishu were known even to children in Chengdu.

Although he felt that Zhu Yuluo's words meant something else, Chen Junchong decided to remind him.

"Your Highness, I'm afraid it's hard for the King of Shu to get money and food."

Zhu Yusao smiled and said: "Why is it so hard to get it? As long as I go, he will happily hand it over."

I'm afraid I'll hand it over in tears.

Marco chuckled to himself.

At this time, Li Yan said: "Take me, go to Chengdu and ask the King of Shu to donate money and food. There is nothing to discuss. Let's talk about how to defend northern Sichuan.

According to what His Highness said, King Chuang could not withstand the offensive of Jiannu and Wu Sangui, so he would continue to retreat.

Henan and Guanzhong will probably retreat to Huguang, but he will definitely send people to stay in Hanzhong and attack Sichuan."

Ma Ke has the most say in this regard, so Zhu Yuyao asked: "What does General Ma think of this matter?"

Ma Ke said: "Since the Han River changed its course in the early Western Han Dynasty and the ancient Chencang Road no longer exists, Hanzhong has become less easy to defend.

Besides, our troops are not large, so the general believes that we only need to guard Qipanling, Chaoyang Pass, Baishui Pass and other dangerous passes at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi to block the invading army from outside Sichuan."

Upon hearing this, Chen Junchong glanced at Ma Ke with a somewhat complicated look.

A few days ago, the two of them were fighting to the death in Li County. Unexpectedly, they were now sitting in a tent working together for Princess Ming.

Things in the world are truly unpredictable and wonderful.

He said: "If some of the intruders really retreat to Sichuan, what General Ma said is indeed the best choice."

Hearing this, Zhu Aao exchanged glances with Li Yan and the red lady.

In fact, they and Hao Guangming thought the same way. Now they just wanted to understand Ma Ke and Chen Junchong's thoughts.

Since the two of them had the same idea, there was no need to think otherwise.

So Zhu Yusao said seriously: "Chen Junchong, as a superintendent of the country, I appoint you as the prefect of Baoning and the governor of Tongchuan Prefecture. I will assign you a military general to serve as your deputy. I will allocate 3,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 other soldiers. You can guard northern Sichuan."

?”

Chen Junchong immediately stood up and worshiped: "I will do my best to live and die with northern Sichuan!"

Zhu Yasuo nodded slightly, then softened his tone and said: "In the future, Mr. Chen can ask General Ma more about the defense of northern Sichuan. If you need anything, just ask me. As long as the support I can give, I will never miss it."

.”

"yes."

Then, Marco hesitated and asked: "Your Highness, what should Governor Li do?"

Zhu Aao smiled and said: "Now we have to trouble General Ma and Chen Gong to go and 'invite' him from Langzhong to see me."

Marco was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said, "The last general takes command!"

Afterwards, the Red Lady Division and the Ma Ke Division were delayed for another day at the Santai Military Camp.

It will still take some time to reorganize Marco's army.

Secondly, Chen Junchong still needs to cultivate himself, so it is not easy to rush around immediately.

During this period, Lieutenant Li Ren, who was the most adept at guarding in the Hong Niangzi Division, was promoted by Zhu Aao to the post of General of the Guard in Northern Sichuan, and was responsible for actually commanding the troops allocated to Chen Junchong.

Wait until the next morning.

Chen Junchong, Ma Ke, and Li Rencai led the elite infantry of Qianhong Niangzi and 8,000 reorganized and mixed soldiers under Ma Ke to Baoning Langzhong.

In Boryeongfu, there are nearly 2,000 elite soldiers from the Ma Ke Department and more than 3,000 new recruits.

These are the 3,000 elite soldiers and more than 10,000 miscellaneous soldiers assigned to Chen Junchong by Zhu Yu'ao.

Just in case, the Red Lady ordered a thousand elite soldiers to keep an eye on Dian Ma Ke, mainly under the orders of Chen Junchong and Li Ren.

In addition, after "inviting" Li Yutian in Langzhong, the thousand elite soldiers will be divided into hundreds to escort Ma Ke and Li Yutian to Li County.

The eight thousand miscellaneous soldiers assigned to Chen Junchong were originally composed of Ding Zhuang and Ming officers and soldiers recruited by Ma Ke in central Sichuan.

Now that he has been mixed up by the Red Lady's tribe, he has become a general at all levels in the army. With Chen Junchong's reputation in Sichuan and Li Ren's assistance, it is relatively easy to control him.
