Zhu Youdong's idea is called premarital phobia in later terms. But in the present world, he is a complete hooligan. For this phenomenon, of course, the two fathers-in-law will not let him go. With the joint efforts of his father-in-law and others, Zhu Youdong did not escape in the end.

Five days after the ceremony was advanced, the whole of Chongqing became busy, and I heard that there would be a Ming clan to raise the Chongqing prison state, and the people of Chongqing were also very happy. This was a happy event for Chongqing, but many gentry families did not see it that way.

In their eyes, the Qing Dynasty has laid down the Ming Dynasty. At this time, someone was in charge of the country in Chongqing, and once the Ming Dynasty failed, the Qing army was bound to slaughter the city in Chongqing. After all, what the Qing army did in Sichuan before is still close at hand.

It is impossible for Zhu Youdong to consider the thoughts of these people. The generals who were still waiting in Chongqing and wanted to participate in Zhu Youdong's ceremony of supervising the country were also driven away by Zhu Youdong.

Zhu Youdong said to everyone: "Now is not the time for us to be happy, everyone wants to celebrate." Just wait for us to frighten Beijing and drive the Manchurians out of the Central Plains once and for all, and celebrate in the Forbidden City in Beijing. ”

Dang Shousu had returned to Baoning, and Zhu Youdong gave him the task of capturing Hanzhong. When Dang Shousu left, he smiled at Li jokingly: "Li Xiao's niece, your uncle still wants to drink a glass of your wedding wine, but your husband wants to drive me away, don't blame your uncle Dang." ”

As a result, Li Xiao was not ambiguous, and said: "Uncle Dang has a heart, since Uncle Dang feels so sorry for his niece, why don't you beat Hanzhong down as a wedding gift for your niece?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately burst into laughter, and Liu Tichun said: "Old party, now Li Xiao's niece has opened her mouth, if you can't do it, you will lose face." Dang Shousu said with fear in his chest: "Li Xiao's niece, don't worry, when I return to Baoning Mansion, I will immediately send troops to attack Hanzhong, and I will definitely take Hanzhong as your wedding gift." ”

Zhu Youdong was also very happy to see that everyone was enthusiastic, and now the generals of the Restoration Army finally no longer have any psychological fear of the Qing Army

With the departure of Dang Shousu, Zhu Youdong scattered the 20,000 captives brought back by Jiang Chao and incorporated them into various armies. From each army, the elite was selected to form two armies, which were led by Liu Zhen and Feng Shuangli respectively. As for the commanders of these two armies, Zhu Youdong also recruited many people.

In the end, the two of them were chosen, and Feng Shuangli has been in the Restoration Army since he came to Sichuan. Now he is more affectionate to the Fuming Army than the King of Jin and others, and Liu Zhen is the son of Liu Wenxiu, the king of Shu, and there have been rumors that the king of Jin and the king of Shu are at odds.

Let Liu Zhen take the lead, ostensibly to appease Li Dingguo, but in fact, it is to let Liu Zhen leave the King of Jin. I believe that Liu Zhen, who has no backer now, will be more loyal to Zhu Youdong. Zhu Youdong was also very relieved and handed over his escort to Liu Zhen to command.

Sun Bin and Lin Kejia all left Chongqing one after another, and even Cheng Deyi, Yuan Zongdi and Wu Guogui, who were going to form cavalry, also stepped up to leave Chongqing. Chongqing is festive on the surface, but secretly the atmosphere of war is getting stronger and stronger.

In the blink of an eye, it has come to March 20, the day when Zhu Youdong is officially in charge of the country. The people in Chongqing were also dressed in red and hung colors, and they were full of joy.

Chongqing is located at the confluence of the Jiangling River and the Yangtze River, so it is surrounded by water on three sides: east, north and south. Only the west side is connected to the land, and there is also the Buddha Pass to guard the key points. Chongqing, on the other hand, is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and does not have a large amount of open space. Therefore, the ceremony of supervising the country was chosen outside the Chaotian Gate.

For this ceremony, Zhu Youdong specially released the control and let the people enter Chaotianmen to watch. In the past, there were no civilian ships docking at Chaotianmen, and this is the docking point for official ships. Therefore, ordinary people do not come to Chaotianmen, and civilian ships and goods are all up and down through the East Water Gate.

Zhu Youdong let go of Chaotianmen's control, and for a time the people were crowded. It just so happened that the sky was beautiful today, and when the red sun rose in the east, the Restoration Army that was to be inspected began to arrive on the flat ground outside the Chaotian Gate one after another.

When Zhu Youdong came to Chaotianmen with the civil and military officials who stayed in Chongqing, the soldiers and soldiers of the Restoration Army who were waiting here shouted in unison: "Daming, Daming"

With the neat roar, Zhu Youdong's blood boiled when he listened, and he couldn't wait to say, "Comrades have worked hard." Looking at the soldiers with high morale by the riverside, the other officials were also happy, and said: "Such a tiger and wolf army, there is hope for the recovery of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Fu Gang cried: "The Ming Dynasty has this king, and the first emperor should be blind when he has a spirit in the sky." The Yongli Old City next to it was full of emotion.

Zhu Youdong was wearing a crown suit and walked in the front, followed by Bai Wenxuan, Gou Xingwang, Zhou Dazhu and other military generals, as well as Fugang with Zhang Huangyan, Zhang Zuochen, Hong Yuao, Wang Jincai, Yuan Kuoyu, Wang Xi and other cadres.

Waiting for Zhu Youdong to lead everyone, he walked to the high platform in the middle, and knelt down together. Then Zheng Fengyuan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the reading of the sacrificial text, and read it aloud with Zheng Fengyuan's yin and yang frustration. After King Xiang was finally announced, the son of King Jinxian, Zhu Youdong, was officially in charge of the country.

Then Zhu Youdong was at the mercy of various officials to complete the cumbersome interests. In the end, he was really impatient, and said to Fugang: "Elder Fuge, why is this ceremony still so cumbersome." Fu Gang said: "Your Highness, this has been reduced a lot, and it will be completed immediately by His Highness to announce the reduction and exemption of taxes in Sichuan and other places." ”

Zhu Youdong gave up, and then it was the wedding that had been reduced beyond recognition by Zhu Youdong, and only showed his side. Zheng Fengyuan announced a little awkwardly that on this festive day of Zhu Youdong's supervision, the old man Yue also came to join in the fun. Zhu Youdong married the princess and two side concubines today.

Then it was Li Zhenqi who sent his sister, Li Xiao. Li Sixing sent his sister, Li Haiyue. Tan Tianxu sent his sister Tan Shuanghua forward to pay tribute to Zhu Youdong. Several people were led by Li Zhenqi and Li Xiao, and the others followed behind, slowly walking on the high platform, and then Zhu Youdong and Li Xiao and the other three held a wedding on the high platform.

How can I say that after Zhu Youdong took charge of the country, he was equivalent to the Son of Heaven, but Zhu Youdong's return gift was actually outside Chaotianmen, and now on the edge of the Yangtze River, in front of the army.

The four of them began to give a marriage ceremony, which is also a strange talk for the people of Chongqing. The people were naturally very happy to see such a lively scene. Only those officials of the Yongli Dynasty were very disapprehensive in the face of Zhu Youdong, who was so rude.

But they are also people who have been adrift with the imperial court for many years, and they don't care too much about these. is also used to being flexible, so I have to follow Zhu Youdong's meaning. Now that the sun had risen, the people and officials who had come to watch were a little tired.

Zhu Youdong saw that the wedding ceremony had been completed, and immediately asked Li Xiao and the three to go back. Zhu Youdong looked at his three brothers-in-law and said, "The three of you, don't go back to the original army, stay in the escort army, and go out with me in two days,"

Without waiting for the three of them to ask in detail, Pan Yinglong had already taken a few eunuchs who had been found, and stepped forward to put on Zhu Youdong's battle armor. Then Zhu Youdong walked to the general platform outside the military formation, looking at the Restoration Army that was still neatly arrayed, and he was very pleased.

Zhu Youdong said loudly on the stage: "Soldiers, today is the day when I Zhu Youdong is in charge of the country, according to the usual reward I should give you, and let you go back to relax and relax." But I tell you, none of these things. ”

There was silence in the army, and Zhu Youdong continued: "Why? Because the Qing army is still watching us, they are always thinking about how to kill us, and then they bully our wives and daughters, kill our parents, and steal our money. Do you promise? ”

These soldiers of the Restoration Army have long been brainwashed into being loyal to Zhu Youdong. Now when Zhu Youdong asked, he suddenly shouted: "Don't agree, don't agree." ”

Zhu Youdong and the other soldiers lowered their voices and said, "Yes, we resolutely do not agree." Everybody saw it. I just got married today, and I don't want my daughter-in-law to suffer like this, so I'm going to defeat the Qing army and drive them out of the Central Plains. Are you willing to go with me to fight the Qing army? ”

Zhu Youdong's words are simply a harm to these bachelors in the Restoration Army, you just married three daughters-in-law, and there are still many of these soldiers who have not married daughters-in-law. Fortunately, these people didn't hear it, and just shouted "yes".

Zhu Youdong didn't care, and said loudly: "Okay, then we will enter Nanjing, and we will enter Beijing to celebrate with everyone." Defeat the Manchu Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty. The soldiers in the audience have also been explained by the generals, and they all shouted: "Defeat the Manchu Qing and restore the Ming Dynasty." ”

At this time, the naval warships on the river fired at the opposite bank. With the rumbling sound of artillery fire, the officers and men of all units began to practice various formations under the high platform, charging and killing. I saw that the soldiers were alternating with each other, constantly advancing and changing their formations.

Later, some soldiers were arranged to perform riding and archery, galloping fast horses, and the soldiers were skilled at bending bows and arrows on the horses. After the performance, the officers and men of the Restoration Army began to board the troop transport ship docking. After all the departments boarded the ship, Li Youshi, the general of the naval division, stepped forward to bid farewell to Zhu Youdong.

Zhu Youdong said: "You lead the sailors, and after sending the soldiers to Guizhou, you will hurry up and rest." There are still many places where water masters are needed in the future, and there will be no time to rest at that time. ”

Li Youshi said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the end will guarantee the completion of the task." Then Li Youshi got on the boat, and then led the fleet down the river.

Looking at the sailor who was far away, Zhu Youdong said to Fu Gang: "Fu Ge Lao, after I leave with the army, the political affairs of the imperial court will be entrusted to Ge Lao." Fu Gang said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the old man will definitely take care of the politics of the dynasty and not let His Highness worry." ”

Zhu Youdong still had to explain to their people, but Zhang Huang said: "Your Highness, don't nag anymore." We all know that His Royal Highness is going to go on the expedition tomorrow, and we won't go to tonight's dinner, so Hou Ye should go back early, otherwise the princesses will be blamed. ”

When the others heard this, they all laughed, and then left in twos and threes. Only Zhu Youdong was left alone, not knowing who to talk to. Zhu Youdong smiled bitterly: "I have come through all the difficulties, and I am afraid that the cave house will not be successful." ”

Pan Yinglong next to him said: "Of course Hou Ye is not afraid of this, today is Hou Ye's big day, Hou Ye should go back to the palace early." Zhu Youdong said: "Okay, I know." ”

When Zhu Youdong returned to Chongqing City, the people along the way were still talking about the day's events. Obviously, the confidence in Daming has also increased a lot. Zhu Youdong was also very happy in his heart, thinking that he had married three daughters-in-law at once, Zhu Youdong couldn't wait to find a place where no one was there and laughed a few times.

But after returning to the house, looking at the three new houses in front of him, Zhu Youdong began to feel embarrassed again. Pan Yinglong, who was following him, saw Zhu Youdong's difficulties and said, "Your Highness, the three mothers are divided into positive and sideways. ”

Zhu Youdong's eyes suddenly lit up, he had been entangled in things for a long time, he thought that he would favor one over the other in whatever he did, who knew that people would have already divided it well. The wedding night was, of course, at the main concubine's, and no one had anything to say.

Zhu Youdong untied the knot in his heart and said to Pan Yinglong: "Okay, you can step back first." Then he walked towards Li Xiao's room. Pan Yinglong smiled, and then withdrew.
