"General Huang, you didn't see the scene when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Guards just entered the city! The troops were uniform, their pace, equipment, and morale were all extremely high!"
As he said this, Zhu Yihuai had a look of emotion in his eyes.
Huang Degong on the side heard Zhu Yihuai's words, and there was a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.
"Then has Mr. Zhu decided to take the people of this city to Shandong as ordered?"
At this time, Huang Degong looked at Zhu Yihuai in front of him and asked.
Zhu Yihuai looked at Huang Degong with a wry smile on his face and said: "General Huang, this kind of thing involves my life and fortune, as well as my reputation for thousands of years! How could I make this decision in a short while?
!”
Looking at the helpless look on Zhu Yihuai's face.
General Huang Degong smiled.
"Okay! I know you are in trouble! I'm leaving first!"
"General, move slowly!"
After speaking, General Huang Degong turned and left.
Looking at the back of General Huang Degong, Zhu Yihuai sighed slightly, with a wry smile flashing in his eyes. Originally, he wanted to go through His Royal Highness to see if he could be transferred to the south.
After all, Shunde Mansion is about to become a front line, and the tentacles of the intruders here have already been extended.
What should I do if Shunde Prefecture falls?
Surrendering to the intruders? Zhu Yihuai did not want to do this, he still cherished his posthumous reputation.
escape?
If you abandon your own city, you will be guilty!
And it’s a felony!
Neither walking nor escaping.
Originally, Zhu Yihuai wanted to be transferred through his relationship with His Royal Highness, but now it seems...
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince is not planning to withdraw to the south, otherwise what would he be doing with the people in Shandong?
But doing this…
After Zhu Yihuai's expression changed for a while, he took a long breath and a look of helplessness flashed across his face.
Zhu Cixiang was sitting in the residence of General Fengguo, which was his temporary palace, listening to Zhu Yi's report.
"The money should be transported to Shandong as soon as possible, and the food should also be sent to Shandong as much as possible. You can contact Shen Tingyang!"
Zhu Cixiang said casually to Zhu Yi who was standing aside.
"Yes! Your Highness."
"Then, let people keep an eye on Zhu Yihuai's sale of land deeds. If they find anything wrong, they will notify me immediately!"
Zhu nodded.
After arranging these things, Zhu Cihong smiled, looked at Zhu Yi in front of him and asked: "What did Huang Degong and Zhu Yihuai say after I left?"
After listening to what Zhu Yi said about the conversation between Zhu Yihuai and Huang Degong, Zhu Cixiang nodded, took a calm sip of tea, and asked Zhu Yi calmly: "Zhu Yi, is there any movement in Beijing City?"
"Your Highness, there is nothing unusual in Beijing. The imperial court's move to the south is being handled in an orderly manner, but your grandfather Zhou Kui seems to be a little dishonest!"
Upon hearing Zhu Yi's words, a cold light flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
"Oh? How to say."
Zhu Cixiang asked with a calm expression.
"It seems that he went to your mother again to cry for poverty... Empress Zhou was forced to do nothing, so she took out the last three thousand taels of silver from her own money and gave it to your grandfather!"
Upon hearing Zhu Yi's words, a cold light flashed in Zhu Cixiang's eyes.
"Do you need me to inform Zhu Shiliu to arrest Zhou Kui?"
At this time, Zhu Yi asked Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"No hurry! Just wait!"
Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Zhu Yi in front of him and said.
"However, if you can know where Zhou Kui's money is without violence, just do it!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Zhu Yi saluted respectfully.
Zhu Cixi waved his hand towards Zhu Yi in front of him, and soon, Zhu Yi disappeared into the shadows.
Zhu Cixi's eyes sparkled with light.
Breaking into the thief camp.
"Huang Degong and the Ming Prince have already entered Shunde Mansion?"
Li Zicheng asked with a look in his eyes as he looked at the soldier kneeling in front of him.
"Yes! Your Majesty, the news from the front is that Huang Degong's army and the army of the Ming Dynasty Prince have all entered the city!"
The soldier next to him quickly said to Li Zicheng in front of him.
Li Zicheng's eyes showed a hint of contemplation, and he suddenly asked Liu Zongmin who was standing aside: "Zongmin, we should have an army next to Shunde Mansion!"
"Zehou has a small force there. They were originally planning to find a way to seize the city gate of Shunde Prefecture and take the opportunity to occupy the city. However, the prefect of Shunde Prefecture, named Zhu Yihuai, was very cautious. We deceived the city several times.
, were all resolved by him.
He tried to attack the city but was defeated. The number of the army was not large, so..."
Liu Zongmin said to Li Zicheng in front of him.
Li Zicheng nodded and looked at Tian Jianxiu beside him.
"Lao Tian, over there in Shunde Mansion..."
"That's a distant cousin of mine."
Tian Jianxiu said to Li Zicheng in front of him.
"Ask him to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Prince Ming and Huang Degong, and notify us immediately if there is any change!"
"Okay! King!"
Tian Jianxiu nodded quickly.
"My next task is to annihilate Huang Degong and capture the crown prince alive! As long as these two things are accomplished, the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed!"
Li Zicheng said to the people around him with a smile on his face.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
In the palace, everyone had smiles on their faces.
A night of silence.
the next day.
The First Army of the Prince's Guards started training at the school grounds early in the morning, attracting onlookers from other military camps nearby.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Guards are just different!"
"However, this kind of spirit is incomparable to that of soldiers like us!"
"So what? When you get to the battlefield, you still have to run away with your head in your arms? Do you really think that this kind of training is of any use on the battlefield?"
A subordinate of General Huang Degong said with a sneer. He looked at the Prince's Guards who were training in the school grounds with an expressionless face.
"You can't say that! Strict discipline is the characteristic of a strong army in the world!"
Another officer and soldier next to him hesitated for a moment and said to him.
General Huang Degong's subordinates sneered and shook their heads. They did not speak. They just looked at the drill of the 1st Army of the Prince's Guards on the school ground with a calm expression.
At this time, Huang Degong, Zhu Cihong, Lin Yi, and other generals were standing in the military camp.
Zhu Cixiang and Huang Degong stood in the main position.
The entire tent was solemn and solemn, with a huge sand table in front of it and a special situation map next to it.
"This is the current location of our army, Shunde Mansion!"
Huang Degong's eyes scanned the many soldiers in the camp.
"Now, the army closest to us is here."
Huang Degong's spurs clicked between Huaiqing Mansion and Henan Mansion.
"According to the reports from our spies, an army of intruders is storming Huaiqing Mansion. However, this is not their main force. Their main force has withdrawn back to Taiyuan Mansion after withdrawing from Beijing!"
