Hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Huang Zhigong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but fell into silence in the end.
yes!
Moreover, the intruders are not only invading Runing Prefecture and Henan Prefecture, but they may also invade other prefectures.
They must be staring at the current Zhending Mansion. If they really want to go out in full force, what if they are ambushed or surrounded by intruders?
Huang Qigong was a little disappointed.
"Your Highness, how should we explain to His Majesty..."
"Explain? No need to explain."
Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Huang Digong in front of him and said.
"We just need to wait until the imperial court moves the capital to Nanjing, then leave and go directly to Shandong!"
After hearing Zhu Cixiang's words, Huang Zhigong looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him in disbelief.
Do you give it all up to others??
With such great pressure, even if the person in front of me is the prince, I am afraid he will not be able to withstand such great pressure!!
The situation in the entire north is still eroding.
News of the fall came from one prefecture after another, and the intruders were encroaching on all fronts, but His Royal Highness's army of only thirty to forty thousand men could only hold on to one side at most.
A single tree cannot support itself.
The situation, which originally seemed to be improving due to several victories, took a turn for the worse in less than a month.
At this critical juncture, the Qing army began to invade Liaodong again.
Liaodong is in emergency!
Beijing City, Tai Chi Hall.
Emperor Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair a little lost, with a sigh flashing in his eyes.
Sure enough, you still can't hold on?
Just like what the prince said.
"Your Majesty, let's go!"
Li Yuzhi knelt in front of the palace, surrounded by hundreds of civil and military officials.
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes scanned the Tai Chi Hall in front of him.
In this life, will I have the chance to return to this palace?
Emperor Chongzhen had a wry smile on his face.
Take a deep breath.
"Let's go!"
Chongzhen said to the civil and military officials on the side.
"Your Majesty, take off!"
A huge chariot carriage was carried up to the hall, and Chongzhen slowly stepped onto the chariot carriage.
He carried Chongzhen and slowly left the Tai Chi Hall.
Civil and military officials followed closely behind.
Countless civil and military officers, chariots, horses and honor guards followed Chongzhen.
In this way, Chongzhen temporarily left the huge Forbidden City where the Ming royal family had lived for nearly two hundred years.
There is no way, now, the whole north is already in flames of war.
Li Zicheng's power has already reached Baoding Mansion!
Although the crown prince is fighting outside, in the final analysis it is just to prepare for moving the capital!
"Father has left the Forbidden City?"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the Jin Yiwei in front of him calmly and asked.
"Yes! Your Highness! Your Majesty has left the Forbidden City, taking away the last batch of objects in the Forbidden City, and now he has boarded the blessing ship that has been prepared in Tianjin Port!"
Hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Zhu Cixiang's eyes showed a hint of emotion.
"Father has withdrawn, and we must withdraw too! There is no point in continuing to fight here!"
Zhu Cixiang murmured.
"I ordered someone to send an order for General Huang Degong to come back! It's time for us to withdraw!"
"Yes! Your Highness!"
The messenger on the side spoke respectfully.
Zhu Cihong stood in the magistrate's mansion of Zhending Mansion. He looked at Li Xi calmly and asked: "How is the progress of our recruitment of people?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Li Xi's eyes, and he looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him and said: "Your Highness, most people are still unable to leave their hometown. There are very few people who are willing to believe the news that we are promoting that twenty acres of land can be divided.
.
At present, we have only gathered 50,000 to 60,000 people..."
"Fifty or sixty thousand is fine!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded. This number already surprised Zhu Cixiang. He originally thought that he should be able to gather a few thousand refugees at most.
"Take away everything that can be moved, including account books and other things!"
Zhu Cixiang calmly looked at Li Xi in front of him and said.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
In the 17th year of Chongzhen, on May 18th, the situation in the north deteriorated, and the emperor moved the capital to Nanjing. The crown prince took tens of thousands of refugees, led an army of 30,000, and moved to Shandong!
Historical name: Jiashen Yishu!
On the long dirt road, the dust was flying, and the huge team was like a long snake, moving slowly.
"Bah, bah, bah."
Chen Yi spat out a mouthful of sand that flew into his mouth, looked at the long dirt road in front of him, and said with some boredom in his eyes: "Dad, how long until we get to Shandong!"
"It should take a few days!"
Chen Fangtian in front of him took a brief look at the changes in the surrounding environment, and spoke uncertainly to his son beside him.
"Dad, tell me, is it right or wrong for us to follow His Highness the Crown Prince? How is Shandong? Will we be able to have enough to eat when we go to Shandong?"
"Do not talk!"
Chen Fangtian did not answer his son's words, but said to Chen Yi.
"oh!"
Chen Yi glanced at his father with some boredom. This long road was a real hardship for a child.
But for the refugees, this long journey may not be a hardship.
As long as they have a mouthful of food to eat, the refugees can live a comfortable life.
Zhu Cixiang glanced at the increasingly fierce sun in the sky, then turned to look at the long queue.
"Have a rest and start cooking!"
Zhu Cixiang said to a messenger around him.
A messenger quickly started running beside the entire team.
"Your Highness has your orders! Stop and rest! Start cooking!"
"Your Highness has your orders! Stop and rest! Start cooking!"
The messengers quickly ran between the head and tail of the team.
Soon, many people began to stop and rest.
Chen Yi looked curiously at the messenger running wildly in front of him, with a trace of envy flashing in his eyes. The young man's heart was always full of imagination.
He envied these soldiers who could ride horses.
"How great it would be if I could ride a horse one day!"
Chen Yi murmured, a desire rising in his heart.
"Your Highness, we are still about a hundred miles away from Jinan Prefecture. Why not speed up the process?"
At this time, General Huang Degong rode up to Zhu Cixiang, looked at Zhu Cixiang in front of him with some hesitation and asked.
"There is no problem for the army to march in a hurry, but the people can't do it."
Zhu Cixiang looked at General Huang Degong in front of him calmly and said.
"Your Highness, why do you bring so many refugees with you? There should be quite a lot of refugees in Shandong now. You bring so many refugees with you..."
There was a trace of hesitation in General Huang Degong's eyes as he looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him.
"Refugees are an important part of destroying local power. Can you understand this sentence?"
Zhu Cixi smiled, looked at Huang Degong in front of him and asked.
Huang Degong was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and looked at Zhu Cihong in front of him with doubt in his eyes.
