Chapter 26 Innocence

When Harabaersi was rubbed to the point of death by Luo Dashun and Deng Ze, Zhu Cixuan had already met Hao Yaoqi and arrived at Li Laiheng's place in Xingshan. Hao Yaoqi was in a similar situation to Yuan Zongdi, guarding Fangxian County.

Yuan Zongdi's Dachang has salt, and Hao Yaoqi's Fangxian has a little more flat land. They can grow some food, but they are also unable to be self-sufficient. They have to go to Manchu Qing every year to harvest grass and grain. Zhu Cixuan got it

At that time, Hao Yaoqi was planning to join forces with Liu Tichun, Yuan Zongdi and others to send troops to Xunyang Mansion to find trouble for Hu Quancai in Huguang. The arrival of Zhu Cixuan made Hao Yaoqi postpone his plan to send troops. Hao Yaoqi had many subordinates

There was a look of disappointment. A group of tough guys who were not afraid of death but afraid of poverty. Zhu Cixuan sighed in his heart. It was a pity that the Yongli Dynasty had no room for others. If only a little more trust and support could be given to the Kuidong Army, how could they be trapped in the mountainous area and just barely

Contain the Qing's second-line troops in Hubei.

In Xingshan, Liu Tichun, who had received the news, also arrived and was chatting with Li Laiheng. Their previous understanding of the prince Zhu Cixuan was limited to this extent. Before Yongli united with the Western Camp, his own army suffered repeated devastating blows from the Manchus.

Now it relies almost entirely on the old foundation of Xiying. Sun Kewang built almost the entire Guizhou into barracks, and was able to barely support the hundreds of thousands of Xiying to launch attacks on Hunan and Guangxi, leaving no more energy to supply Zhongzhen Camp.

Since the alliance with the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty, the Zhongzhen Battalion has become weaker and weaker as the war progresses. The main problem lies in supplies. If the military leaders of the Zhongzhen Battalion have no objections to the Yongli Dynasty, then they are all saints.

"His Royal Highness has been quite active during this period. He comforted the two kings, practiced the royal camp, captured and killed thieves, and now he is inspecting our loyalty camp. Little tiger, I think this little prince is a master who can do anything. You say he is very

What do you think of coming to eastern Sichuan for a walk?" Liu Tichun said while smoking a dry cigarette. Li Laiheng was the adopted son of Li Zicheng's nephew Li Guo. Li Guo was called "a tiger", and so was Li Laiheng.

He was nicknamed "Little Tiger".

Li Laiheng frowned and said: "My nephew received a message from his two uncles Yuan and Hao, saying that His Highness never mentioned the Jiashen incident, and he also had a good impression of our Zhongzhen Camp. He mentioned several times that he would increase the number of Zhongzhen troops in the future.

The supplies for the camp. My nephew guesses, does His Highness have secret instructions from someone and wants to use our Loyalty Camp as his own?" Li Laiheng said, pointing to the sky.

Liu Tichun shook his head and said: "That one is a timid master who only thinks about being rich and contented. Now that the King of Jin is extremely respectful to him, I'm afraid he won't have such thoughts. Besides, are we intruders?"

Jun...he wants to save face and doesn't know why he would pursue us, but why would he want to win over us?"

"The Tatars have been in a lot of trouble recently. Guizhou seems to have started fighting. If the King of Shu cannot resist it, where else can he go besides running to us? Can he go to Xiamen to find Yanping? That is the direct descendant of the King of Tang."

Li Laiheng was a little unconvinced. Why, the beggar still thinks the food is sour? I am the remnant of the army. If you have the ability, don't come. The turtle grandson will also be happy to serve you.

"Little Tiger, what do you mean, His Highness is here to stand up for that person?" Liu Tichun also felt that what Li Laiheng said made sense.

"If not, there is no need for that person to show kindness to us. So, could it be that the war in Guizhou is not going well?"

"It's inconvenient to deliver the news. It seems that Zhenyuan has been lost before." Liu Tichun frowned.

"Sun Kewang deserves to die, you ruined a good situation in vain!" Li Laiheng said angrily. The Manchu Qing Dynasty is still alive and kicking. Sun Kewang, if you want to be the emperor, wait until the Manchu Qing Dynasty is about to die. If you have to take action in a hurry, Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu will have to fight with

He is having a civil war. Isn't this the case where relatives hate and enemies are happy?

Liu Tichun also deeply believed that our Chuang Army was willing to cooperate with Nanming, but your Sun Kewang actually jumped out to ask for the Yongli Zen position. Isn't this nonsense? Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu also failed to live up to their expectations and actually let this grandson run away. "If so.

In this way, we should make preparations early. The barren lands in the east of Sichuan and the west of Hubei are not the basis for a king's hegemony. Now, we can only seize Chengdu and plan for Hanzhong, using the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan to plan for the future."

Li Laiheng nodded: "What my uncle said makes sense. The Xingshan area where my nephew is located is the closest to the Tatars, and my nephew can't move easily. It's better for my uncle to move to Chengdu and make preparations first. This is also an excellent opportunity for our Zhongzhen Camp to be fully accepted by the Ming Dynasty.

, uncle, don’t miss it.”

Liu Tichun smiled bitterly, so what if Ming Dynasty recognized the Loyalty Camp? How long can Ming Dynasty persist...

Zhu Cixuan arrived very quickly. The Yangtze River in the Three Gorges area was firmly controlled by the Kuidong Thirteen Families. The Dongting Lake Navy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty attacked several times, but all the troops were defeated and returned. Zhu Cixuan and his party did not need to worry about the enemy's situation, and the boatman was also Wen Anzhi's meticulousness.

The veteran of the selection went down the river and arrived at Xingshan from Fang County in a short time.

After disembarking, landing, and greetings, a familiar and tedious process was completed, and Zhu Cixuan and others sat in Li Laiheng's handsome mansion. Zhu Cixuan secretly looked at them, Liu and Li looked quite weathered, Li Laiheng was quite heroic, and Liu Tichun was not.

He was thin and dark, with a cigarette in his hand, and looked like an old farmer.

"The times are difficult." Zhu Cixuan sighed secretly, then smiled and said, "I have no other purpose for visiting the Loyalty Camp this time..."

"Here we come!" Liu Tichun and Li Laiheng looked at each other and couldn't help but sit up straight. Li Laiheng listened quietly, and his mind was spinning. The prince is not old, but his actions and words are mature. He is a bit taller than his peers. He looks

He's not weak either, but it's a pity that he's still in the stage of changing his voice and his voice is a bit hoarse.

"...I have made an agreement with the King of Jin and the King of Shu to run Chengdu." Zhu Cixuan continued, "The Zhongzhen Battalion is located in the east of Sichuan, guarding the east gate of Chengdu. From now on, I and the generals will be neighbors. Neighbors,

Naturally, I have to move around more. I have never met the generals before, as I have always been with my father. This time I came to Zhongzhen Camp, and I also want to get acquainted with the generals. From now on, when I am in Chengdu, I will inevitably have to watch and help you...

"

Listening to Liu Tichun, it seemed that it was different from what we thought? Li Laiheng was younger after all. He couldn't help but interrupt Zhu Cixuan and said: "Your Highness, I heard that the Tatars are attacking Guizhou. I wonder how the war is going?"

Zhu Cixuan was stunned. In this life, he had been interrupted only a handful of times, but he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "I want Duke Lin to know that the King of Shu has decided on a strategy to defeat the enemy. Ji Xiha

There is no escape this time." Liu Wenxiu's son Liu Zhen, who is now the commander of the Jinyi Guards, also followed Zhu Cixuan to Sichuan this time, but he received no news.

Li Laiheng was a little unconvinced: "His Highness is trying to reassure us. If the war goes unfavorably, Your Highness will have made plans early on. How can he deceive us with false words?"

Zhu Cixuan was stunned. Li Laiheng had such a straightforward temper. After all, he was a person from later generations who traveled through time. He didn't feel offended at all. Instead, he admired such an upright person. "Please be patient, Mr. Lin, I have just received

According to the news, the Marquis of Xianning is preparing to attack the Tatar vanguard, and I think there will be good news in the near future. The King of Shu is busy sharpening his sword, just waiting for Ji Xiha to join the throne, how can he say that the war will be unfavorable?"

Li Laiheng's eyes widened: "I heard that Zhenyuan has fallen?"

"I deliberately threw it to the Tatars, but General Luo sold it for five thousand taels of silver." Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this. Who said that the ancients were rigid, and when it was time to extort money, they would bang bang bang.

"Then His Highness just said that he wanted to run Chengdu. It wasn't because of the intense war in Guizhou. His Majesty planned to... hunt in the north?" Li Laiheng almost said the word "run away".

Zhu Cixuan laughed: "Guizhou is as peaceful as Mount Tai, so why would my father hunt north? My father plans to move to Guiyang, but he has to wait until the King of Jin pacifies Yongchang. Where did Duke Linguo hear the news?"

Li Laiheng chatted and remained silent. It can't be said that Liu Tichun and I guessed it ourselves.

Liu Tichun listened for a while and finally confirmed that Zhu Cixuan was not running away for Yongli. He then asked: "Your Highness is planning to stay in Chengdu and not return to Kunming?"

Zhu Cixuan nodded: "The Chengdu plain is fertile and wild for thousands of miles, and it is the land of four fortresses. It is the foundation of the king's hegemony. The Qin Dynasty gained it and dominated the six countries. The great ancestor relied on it to establish the Han family for four hundred years. I should personally sit in charge and serve as the king.

The foundation of Ming Dynasty’s successful management of ZTE.”

"The elder of Yumu must consolidate its roots." Zhu Cixuan got excited and spat, "Huang Taiji established a solid foundation outside the pass, so the Tatars were not destroyed, and now they can even sweep the Central Plains. On the contrary, King Chuang

The reason why it spins up and disappears is because there is no..."

Seeing that Liu and Li suddenly changed their expressions, Li Laiheng even opened his mouth to speak. Zhu Cixuan secretly regretted his gaffe, and then took a deep breath and said directly: "Since we have said this, I might as well say something clearly."

He stood up and said loudly: "I believe that King Chuang's rebellion was not wrong, but the fault was those corrupt officials who forced the people to have no way to live!" Regardless of the frightened expressions on the two people's faces, Zhu Cixuan continued, "People

I get up early in the morning and dig for food in the fields. I earn a few cents from my hard work. Before I put it in my bag, tax collectors come to visit. If they don't comply, they extort money and use all possible means. I can't get enough and warm from hard work, I can't have peace of mind when I'm tired, there are constant natural disasters and wars.

Connected, the people sell their sons and daughters, and exchange their sons for food!"

Zhu Cixuan gritted his teeth and said: "I know what King Chuang saw at that time! The government did not give the people a way to survive. King Chuang led the people to seek their own livelihood. What's wrong? If I was forced by the government

If you can’t survive, you will have to rebel!”

"Your Highness!" Wang Qilong couldn't bear to listen anymore and couldn't help shouting.

Zhu Cixuan waved his hand indifferently: "I dare to say it, and I am not afraid that this word will spread. 'If you don't die of hunger in peace, just imitate the mantis with its arms'. Since ancient times, in the government that does not treat the people as human beings, is there any official who has a good death?"

Yang Sichang who said this, who thought the same as him? They were traitors such as Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui! The people rebelled, and they massacred the people under the guise of the Ming Dynasty. When the Tatars came, they turned into Tatar officials and continued to massacre.

People, look at the Ming Dynasty now, and look at the Tatars now, who are we fighting?!"

"The Chuangying and Xiying who rebelled against the Ming Dynasty have now become the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty, and they shed blood on the battlefield to support the Ming Dynasty! Where are those people who defended the Ming Dynasty back then?" Zhu Cixuan sneered, "But one is shaved faster than the other.

Hair surrendered to the Tatars and became the dog of the slaves. Decades ago, King Chuang was right to rise up, but his mistake was that he did not wipe out these bastards! If King Chuang had killed them all, how could there be today?

Disaster?"

Liu, Li, and Wang all lost their voices, and Zhu Cixuan's words were too sensational. "I know that there have been some voices in the court, thinking that it was Chuang Wang who caused trouble in the world, which led to the Jiashen Incident and the entry of slaves into the pass.

." Zhu Cixuan emphasized again, "But I believe that the most basic right for people living in the world is the right to survive. If the Ming Dynasty does not give the people a way to live, the people should rise up against the Ming Dynasty. Similarly, if the Tatars do not give us a way to live, we

We must also resist the Tatars. What’s wrong with rebelling in order to survive?”

"The Duke of Linguo, the Duke of Anhui, Xiying, or Zhongzhenying, in my eyes, they are all passionate men who fought against the Tartars and protected China. I only have respect and gratitude for you, and I have no other thoughts."

"I once told the King of Jin and the King of Shu that if the Ming Dynasty has reached this point, if it can't unite sincerely and continue to stick to the sect, will there be a future?" Zhu Cixuan said solemnly, "I swear to God that I will do anything for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

I will never let those who shed their blood and sacrifice for China suffer! If you violate this oath, you will be abandoned by both humans and gods!"

The three of them were all moved. Li Laiheng only felt that he had been compromising for years, and all the fear and fear came to his heart. This man who had never frowned on the battlefield, his eyes turned red. Scholars all over the world said that King Chuang was the reason why he surrendered.

The Jiannu took advantage and broke into the camp to resist the Qing Dynasty. They also wanted to prove to the world that we were right to rebel and disrupt the Ming Dynasty, but we will fight against the Tatars until the last moment. What about you?

Liu Tichun is much calmer than Li Laiheng. He has experienced too much, and he knows that the important thing is not to listen to what others say, but to see what others do. Zhu Cixuan said so much today, isn't An Zhi just to reassure them? "Your Highness, the final general

Can you tell the generals of the Loyalty Camp what His Highness said today?"

"It's all right." Zhu Cixuan said with a smile, "The more people know about it, the better."

Wang Qilong couldn't sit still anymore. He closed the door and spoke. The prince could say whatever he wanted. At most, he wouldn't acknowledge it when he went out. But if it spread and others didn't tell it, Yongli might not acknowledge Zhu Cixuan's call. No, he definitely wouldn't.

approved.

"Your Highness, think twice." Wang Qilong whispered.

"It seems that General Wang no longer regards Zhongzhen Camp as one of his own." Li Laiheng snorted coldly. Under Yongli's rule, there was a natural disagreement between the peasant army and the generals who were former military generals of the Ming Dynasty. Li Laiheng could regard Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiu as his own, but

I will not regard Wang Qilong as a comrade.

Zhu Cixuan smoothed things over and said: "Brother Wang is just worried that I will be criticized by others. He has no prejudice against the Zhongzhen camp. Don't blame me, Duke Lin." After a break, Zhu Cixuan promised again, "You two can make public what I said today.

The attitude of this palace is very clear. The Ming Dynasty had the Loyalty Camp, and Xiying was first. Therefore, there is no issue of letting things go by now, because Wang Chuang and others were not wrong in rebelling in the first place." He also knew that he kept telling Li Laiheng and others to let things go by now, but he was just

Remind them of their identity as rebels. In this case, let's just say that they were right to rebel. Coming from a later generation, he didn't think that rebellion was a wrong thing.

Liu Tichun showed a satisfied smile. Zhu Cixuan is the current prince and the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His words undoubtedly gave the loyalty camp a talisman. Whoever dares to make trouble with King Chuang in the future will not give Zhu Cixuan face. In the future

Do you dare not to give me the emperor's face?

Zhu Cixuan felt a little tired after talking for so long. He sat down and took a sip of tea before continuing: "I almost forgot about business. The Zhongzhen Battalion is stationed in eastern Sichuan. It is inconvenient to communicate with Kunming and supply supplies. I will have to grow up in the future.

Stationed in Chengdu, we intend to set up a contact point in Fengjie. If you need materials, you can send a messenger to Fengjie, and I will try my best to raise them. When I need your help, I will also inform your subordinates in Fengjie. What do you think?

?”

Liu Tichun said strangely: "If your Highness has any orders, you can just give them directly. Why do you need to transfer them?" He didn't care about the supplies Zhu Cixuan mentioned. In his opinion, Chengdu is now in dilapidated condition. It would be great if Zhu Cixuan didn't ask them for things. How could it be possible?

Spare energy to provide supplies.

Zhu Cixuan smiled and said: "Exchange materials, share intelligence, formulate strategies, advance and retreat together, and watch and help each other."

Liu Tichun looked at Zhu Cixuan deeply and said nothing. Li Laiheng asked curiously: "Isn't this a matter of the cabinet?"

Zhu Cixuan was a little helpless. Li Laiheng was good at being naive, but being too naive was also a headache. He sighed: "Isn't the cabinet in Kunming? The communication remains unchanged, and it is beyond the reach of the government. It all relies on the central government to coordinate, which will inevitably delay the war. Now is the war.

At that time, when the power of ad hoc matters becomes the most important thing, if you are the Duke of Linguo, if everything needs the approval of the imperial court, can you still fight?"

Li Laiheng still wanted to speak, but was stopped by Liu Tichun's gaze. Zhu Cixuan's attitude made Liu Tichun secretly frightened. Hearing what he meant, he wanted to set up another central government in Chengdu. "After Sun Kewang, will there be another Sun Kewang?" Liu Tichun slandered.

Dao, Yongli, Yongli, you are really a miserable emperor. Your son is very ambitious.

"If you two have no objections, I hope to see your contact person in Fengjie as soon as possible." Zhu Cixuan stood up. He felt that the purpose of coming to Xingshan had been basically achieved, "Mr. Linguo, don't ask me to see you."

I have long heard of my general’s reputation for breaking through the three walls of the camp.”
