Chapter 1 You just told me that Li Zicheng had already called over the prince?
"I heard that the intruders arrived at Juyongguan yesterday! What should we do if this situation continues?"
"Yes! Yes! I heard that the commander-in-chief also surrendered. It seems that our Ming Dynasty is really going to end!"
"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be heard by others!"
…………
Hearing the whispers of the maids in his ears getting further and further away, Zhu Cixiang slowly opened his eyes on the magnificent bed.
His eyes were full of bitterness at this time.
The intruders have all arrived at Juyongguan!
Damn it, the Ming Dynasty is all over! I just traveled through time and became the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty? Do I want to be Li Zicheng’s prisoner, or am I going to hang myself in Meishan along with my unlucky father?
This is too outrageous!
Zhu Cixiang felt very helpless.
"Successfully traveled through time, identified himself as Zhu Cixiang, the crown prince of the late Ming Dynasty, and received a gift package for newbies!"
Suddenly, a system prompt sounded in Zhu Cixi's ears.
His originally dull eyes suddenly lit up.
system!
Is this the inexhaustible road? It's not an ordinary historical time travel novel, it's the kind with a system!
Then it’s not like I have no chance of turning around!
Rely on the system! Maybe we can make a comeback!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang did not hesitate.
"System, open the novice gift package!"
Zhu Cixiang thought silently in his heart.
I hope this newbie gift package can somewhat solve my current predicament!
Now as the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, under the current situation, it is difficult for him to escape. As for staying to resist Li Zicheng?
Forget it!
Now in the whole city of Beijing, besides my own Lao Zhu family, who else really wants to resist Li Zicheng?
Rely on the old, weak, sick and disabled who guard Beijing City?
Or those ministers who are extremely stingy? Honorable ones?
If you backhand them, they will sell you!
Right now, we can only rely on the system! I hope the system will be more powerful!
Zhu Cixiang felt a little anxious.
"Ding! Successfully opened the novice gift package and obtained five hundred top Jinyiwei masters!"
The mechanical sound of the system in his ears became the most pleasant sound that Zhu Cixiang had ever heard in his life!
Almost instantly, a group of royal guards suddenly appeared in Zhu Cixi's palace, exactly five hundred of them, hidden throughout the palace.
These people were in charge of all the checkpoints in Zhu Cixiang's palace.
Now, there is someone!
Zhu Cixiang felt a little relieved. At least, he was not completely defenseless now!
"The god-level selection begins. According to the host's current situation, the system will give the host two choices."
"Choice 1: The host will defend Yanjing City. If he successfully defends, he will get a physical level of 1 and a steam engine illustrated book!"
"Option 2: The host chooses to persuade Chongzhen to move the capital to Jinling, and successfully moves the capital. Upon completion, you can obtain the Mauser rifle blueprints and black powder improvement technology!"
Two options, each with its own pros and cons!
The main reason is that the rewards given by the two choices are pretty good, whether they are steam engine blueprints, black powder improvement technology, or Mauser rifle blueprints.
These are all things Zhu Cixi wants most.
Unfortunately, you can only choose one of the two!
Stick to Yanjing City or flee to Jinling?
Zhu Cixiang frowned slightly.
Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to defend the current Beijing city.
But is it necessarily a good thing to go to Nanjing now?
To be honest, the only power I can really use now is my five hundred imperial guards, and almost no one else can be trusted.
But now that I don't have a penny in my hand, my cheap dad must be the same, and the national treasury will be a waste.
An emperor who has no money and no one to support him will almost certainly be ignored if he goes to Nanjing.
Even though he can kill people with his royal guards, such reckless killing will definitely result in disunity in the world.
And if I want to investigate, the officials and nobles in the southeast are all playing tricks on each other, and each of them is scheming. The total number of people in the group must have hundreds of millions of minds. I will definitely not be able to play with their minds.
of!
After all, as a crown prince who had escaped from the Forbidden City in despair, how could he have any majesty to speak of!
At that time, the best result for you is to be ignored. If you do anything unusual, these people will definitely use various means to force you into the palace! Or even take action directly.
And even if you start killing people, it will arouse the resistance of these people, and then all kinds of tyrant names will be slapped on your head. Don't look at these people who are like soft-footed shrimps when facing foreign enemies.
But facing the royal family, they are all loyal ministers and good generals!
Thinking of this, a sneer flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
The southeast is a quagmire!
What's more, is my cheap father so easy to persuade?
A headstrong guy is very suspicious and ill. If I ask him to move the capital, he probably won't listen at all!
What's more, if we follow the normal procedure of moving the capital, it is already too late!
After all, Li Zicheng has passed the Juyong Pass, and there are still three days at most before the Forbidden City is destroyed!
It's too late to escape now.
So, it seems that there is only one choice left in front of me now?
"Select countdown: 5, 4, 3..."
The mechanical countdown sound brought Zhu Cixiang back from his thoughts.
"I choose one!"
Without any hesitation, Zhu Cixiang said directly in his heart.
This choice seems to be a dead end, but for Zhu Cixiang, it is a road of survival in death!
As long as I can stick to Yanjing for a month!
As soon as the surrounding King Qin's army arrived, Li Zicheng's army had to retreat!
The fate of the Ming Dynasty is not yet dead!
Although it is still a mess, there is a glimmer of hope. Once you escape, you can only look at other people's faces!
