Chapter 7 Hit the three-way drum, those who don't get it will be cut off!
At this time, Wang Ergou and Li Dashan stood up carefully.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the two people in front of him seriously and said, "I just saw that you two were able to tell me about the shortcomings in the camp. It seems that you two are also courageous people.
Now that the intruders are close at hand, the attack and defense of Beijing City is right in front of us, and we are short of manpower. Are you two willing to help me defend the city? Military pay will not be deducted, and food will be of the highest standard!"
"I am willing to die for His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Wang Ergou and Li Dashan were very excited and spoke excitedly to Zhu Cixiang in front of them.
This was personally recruited by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Even if there is no salary, the two of them are still willing to do it!
If by chance I survive this time and look familiar in front of His Highness the Crown Prince, I can’t even imagine the glory and wealth that will follow!
Just when the two of them were excited.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang looked at the two people in front of him with a kind look on his face and said: "You two have been hanging out in the capital camp for a long time. You go find some familiar people. If you have the ability, I will
This does not mean being stingy with position or money!!"
"Yes! Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
The two of them excitedly said to Zhu Cixiang in front of them.
After saying that, the two of them bowed deeply to Zhu Cixiang in front of them, then turned and left.
Zhu Cixiang, with the remaining seven or eight imperial guards behind him, strode toward the school grounds with cold eyes.
Soon, Zhu Cixi walked to the school field.
"Knock the three-way drum, and anyone who doesn't come will be killed!"
Zhu Cixiang stood on the general ordering platform and ordered to the Jin Yiwei at the side.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of drums rang loudly, and the soldiers and commanders lying lazily in the camp opened their eyes in confusion. Of course they knew what this drum sound meant.
gather?
Why did they gather suddenly? It’s so strange?
A trace of hesitation flashed in the hearts of all the soldiers.
Should you go or not?
"His grandma's! In broad daylight! Who dares to beat the three-way drum without opening his eyes! He's looking for death!"
Yan Hui, the admiral's minister, walked out of the tent next to him and spoke in a sharp voice.
But when he walked to the school grounds and saw Zhu Cihong standing on the general stage, Yan Hui suddenly froze, and a trace of fear flashed in his heart.
He suppressed the thought in his heart of turning around and running, and almost rushed to the point of command.
"thump!"
Yan Hui knelt down directly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! I deserve death for my crime! I deserve death for my crime!"
As he spoke, Yan Hui kowtowed several times to Zhu Cixiang in front of him, causing the ground to bang.
Zhu Cixiang didn't even look at him.
"Tied!"
Zhu Cixiang said casually to a Jin Yiwei on the side.
Soon, Yan Hui, who was kowtowing on the ground, was tied up.
With the beating of the three-tone drum, more and more confused soldiers walked from the camp to the school grounds, although these people were very confused in their hearts.
But after all, if you don’t come to the school grounds after listening to the three-tone drum, you will be killed without mercy!
Life is at stake, and no one dares to treat it as a child's play.
When these people came to the school grounds and saw the clothes on Zhu Cixiang's body and the uniformed guards behind him, they did not dare to speak.
Looking at the sparse people on the school ground, Zhu Cixiang raised his eyes expressionlessly and glanced at everyone around him.
"I will give you half a quarter of an hour to call those who are still sleeping in the camp, including your brothers and friends, to come to the school grounds. Once the time has passed, those who are not there will be killed without mercy!"
Zhu Cixi said in a cold voice.
In an instant, many soldiers in the school grounds dispersed.
Everyone hurriedly started to notify their friends, relatives, and brothers in the same camp.
Not long after, the entire school ground was basically sparsely filled with soldiers with sallow faces and thin body armor.
"Go and search the barracks. If there are any that are missing, kill them!"
Zhu Cixiang ordered to the more than 20 Jinyi guards around him.
Soon, bursts of screams came from the nearby tent.
Many soldiers in the school field trembled slightly in their hearts, with a hint of fear in their eyes as they looked at Zhu Cixiang who was standing on the general platform next to them.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the many soldiers in front of him expressionlessly.
At this time, Wu Xiang, who had been notified by his confidants, hurried to the capital camp. He had just been notified by his confidants that His Royal Highness the Prince suddenly came to the capital camp.
What are you doing here in Beijing?
And he came directly to the Shenji Camp? At this time, Li Zicheng was about to attack the city. What was the point of coming to the Beijing Camp at this time?
Although Wu Xiang had some doubts in his heart, he still hurried to the capital camp.
As soon as he arrived at the Beijing camp, Wu Xiang heard the screams of the soldiers in the camp, as well as the soldiers filling the school grounds.
His heart trembled slightly.
He raised his head and saw Zhu Cixiang standing on the general stage. At this time, Wu Xiang quickly strode to the bottom of the general stage and knelt down on one knee towards Zhu Cixiang.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here, and I am sorry that I missed you from afar. I hope that Your Highness will forgive me!"
As he spoke, Wu Xiang felt slightly uneasy. He lowered his head and glanced at the soldiers wearing tattered clothes from the corner of his eyes, complaining secretly in his heart.
The person in front of me is the Crown Prince!
And I am in Jingying!
If the soldiers of the Beijing camp are dressed like this, I, the admiral of the Beijing camp, must be involved!
Thinking of this, Wu Xiang's heart was filled with uncertainty, and his eyes quickly thought of a solution.
But at this time, Zhu Cixiang obviously had no intention of pursuing these matters.
"Master Wu, the intruder Li Zicheng is now very close to the capital. Master Wu, do you have any good strategies to retreat from the enemy?"
Zhu Cixiang said calmly to Wu Xiang in front of him.
I originally thought that Zhu Cihong would ask about the clothing of the soldiers around him, but he didn't expect that the prince would actually ask himself these questions.
Wu Xiang hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Actually, we don't have to worry too much about the intruders. We only need to stick to the capital for a few days. When King Qin's army from various places arrives, the intruders will definitely retreat! Wu Sangui, the dog, has already
Let five thousand Guan Ning's cavalry be on King Qin's way!"
A trace of a smile appeared on Zhu Cixiang's face. He looked at Wu Xiang in front of him and slowly said: "Of course I know how many days to hold on and the siege of the capital can be lifted, but the key question is how to hold on?"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Wu Xiang fell silent.
Of course he didn't know how to defend it. The current Jingying Camp was already in such a state of decay. Wu Xiang only took over the Jingying Camp in the past. At that time, the Jingying Camp was already like this.
Of course, he also tried to organize some training according to Emperor Chongzhen's requirements, but... it didn't work at all, so Wu Xiang completely gave up the military camp at that time.
Looking at Wu Xiang who was silent, Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said slowly: "I know that Wu Aiqing's heart is for the court and the royal family! I have decided to defend Beijing to the death! Will Wu Qing help me?"
