"There is also a question about the number of people in the First Guards Corps."
There was a hint of contemplation in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
"Now there are only 3,800 people left. My idea is to first supplement the First Guards Army to 5,000 people, but the 1,200 people added cannot be novices who have never fought in a war.
I will tell General Huang Degong that you will directly recruit 1,200 people from their camps to complete the establishment of 5,000 people."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
With that said, Zhu Cihong gave some more instructions, then took another look at the troops in front of him, and then reluctantly left the military camp.
The next few days.
Because Emperor Chongzhen had been persuaded, the matter of moving south became more and more clear. Under the escort of Shen Tingyang, many things were transported to the south from Tianjin Port by ship.
The speed became faster and faster, because everyone was united, so everything began to make way for the southward migration.
Naturally, the intruder also knew this news.
Li Zicheng was so excited that he even held a banquet for guests in his palace.
Song Xiance watched all this with cold eyes, shaking his head in his heart.
In his opinion, Li Zicheng has no ambition to be a hero at all and is greedy for a comfortable life. How can such a person succeed in an uprising?
Song Xiance shook his head secretly in his heart.
He was quite interested in the prince of the imperial court. For some reason, this prince had almost no sense of existence before and no one cared about him.
But at the critical moment, His Royal Highness seemed to suddenly have an enlightenment, and suddenly led everyone to successfully defend the city.
He blocked the siege of hundreds of thousands of King Chuang's troops, and even led the army to conquer the city himself. He actually won many battles and even scared King Chuang to death!
He didn't dare to send troops at this time to face the prince.
Obviously his family didn't suffer much loss, but Chuang Wang seemed to have lost his energy and spirit, and he actually started to enjoy it at this time.
Thinking of this, Song Xiance's eyes were full of curiosity.
What happened to that Ming Prince?
Why did it suddenly break out? It seems to be quite powerful??
Song Xiance suddenly thought of some folk rumors.
Is the Ziwei Emperor Star descending to earth?
Song Xiance had a curious look in his eyes.
Maybe, I can get in touch with this Ming Prince. If this Ming Prince is very powerful, maybe I can try to join him...
Thinking of this, Song Xiance's eyes flickered for a while.
In the capital city.
Zhu Cixiang did not stay in the capital all the time, because it was meaningless for him to stay in the capital.
Moving the capital is a very tedious matter, and we are trying to speed it up as much as possible, but without a month or two, it is simply impossible.
On the other side, although the army of intruders suffered a loss, although their movements were smaller than before, they were still encroaching on some places in the north.
Some prefectures and counties have also been harassed.
In order to move the capital smoothly, Zhu Cixi could only go out again.
"Li Xi, prepare all the documents and take them all away!"
Zhu Cixi looked at Li Xi and said calmly.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Li Xi on the side bowed respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
It has to be said that although Li Xi's own knowledge cannot be said to be very strong, he is very capable in dealing with some small things, and he also has keen intuition when it comes to numbers.
It's actually a pretty good helper.
What's more important is that he won't ask why. This habit is very good and Zhu Cixi likes it very much.
Now the national fate of the entire Ming Dynasty is basically tied to him alone. If his army fails again, then only Wu Sangui's army will be left in the entire Ming Dynasty.
If Wu Sangui's army was transferred away, it would be equivalent to handing over the entire Shanhaiguan to the Qing Dynasty.
At that time, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties can enter the customs at will!
The consequences could be disastrous!
Thinking of this, Zhu Cixiang's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
After finishing cleaning up the Duke's mansion.
Zhu Cixiang turned around and left resolutely.
The news that His Royal Highness the Prince was going to conduct his second personal expedition soon spread throughout Beijing, and everyone was talking about it.
There was emotion in his eyes.
"Prince! Do you have to go? Can't you let General Huang Degong go alone?"
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him angrily and said.
"Yes! Brother Chun, there is absolutely no need for you to go on an expedition! General Huang Degong is already brave enough. Can't we just let him go alone??"
Queen Zhou on the side looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of her with a look of reluctance in her eyes.
She was probably the last person who wanted to see Zhu Cixiang go on an expedition.
Looking at the father and mother in front of him.
With a look of helplessness on his face, Zhu Cixiang looked at Empress Zhou and Emperor Chongzhen in front of him and said: "Emperor father, empress mother, Huang Degong is more than brave and brave, but lacks strategy.
Now that he has been named Pingnan Bo again, it is hard to say that he is arrogant in his heart. Apart from me, who else can my father think of who can check and balance him?"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Emperor Chongzhen fell silent and sat there without speaking.
At this time, Zhu Cixiang looked at Emperor Chongzhen and Empress Zhou beside him and said: "Father, Emperor and Queen, I don't know if you can feel that our entire Ming Dynasty royal family has been hanging by a thread for a long time!
Now in our entire Ming Dynasty, can my father still find an army that can fight? Not that kind of trash who can only defend the city!"
Zhu Cixiang said with a serious face.
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Chongzhen thought about it.
"Wu Sangui?"
"But my father also knows very well that this army cannot be mobilized, right?"
Zhu Cixiang sighed slightly, looked at Chongzhen in front of him and said.
"If Wu Sangui is transferred, it will be equivalent to handing over Shanhaiguan to the Qing Dynasty! Dorgon would probably laugh out loud if he could hug a woman at night! This is equivalent to us directly throwing away the entire Liaodong.
And let the Qing Dynasty be able to harass the capital at will! When the time comes..."
Chongzhen remained silent and did not speak.
"Now it seems that we only have the army in Huang Degong's hands and my First Guards Battalion that can fight!"
Zhu Cixiang had a wry smile on his face. He looked at Emperor Chongzhen in front of him and said, "Father! We can't bear any losses!"
After Emperor Chongzhen was silent for a while, he sighed.
"You can do it yourself!"
Emperor Chongzhen was a little unmotivated. He originally thought that after winning two battles, there was hope for recovery, but at this time he was completely helpless.
