Yuan Yuzong tried his best to suppress his excitement, and said to Cao Youyi in a calm tone: "Cao Zongzhen, why don't you go and report to the Holy Lord first, and Rong Benguan and the two deputy generals will make arrangements?" ”

"Okay, then the official will go and report to the saint." Cao Youyi's mood seemed to be very good, and he didn't think much about it. Although he also knew that the troops in Tianjin Town were a little unreliable, Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince Zhu Cihong did not come alone.

There were as many as seven battalions of troops defending them, as well as 3,000 Ding Zhuang pulled out by Cao Huachun from Wang Qingtuo, as well as more than 1,000 people from the children of officials, nobles and capable families of each family. In total, more than 10,000 people were able to fight.

This amount of troops, coupled with Cao Youyi's own 1,500 men, was enough to deter the rest of the troops in Tianjin Town.

Moreover, Zhu Cihong also prepared 55,000 taels of silver to reward the defenders of Tianjin Town! If there is one, regardless of officers and soldiers, each person will be given 10 taels! Moreover, Zhu Cihong will also promise to give another 10 taels of silver and at least 50 acres of paddy fields after arriving in Jiangnan...... There are so many benefits to give, and you are afraid that you will not be able to stabilize the military spirit of Tianjin Town?

Therefore, Cao Youyi arched his hand at Yuan Yuzong, Jin Bin, and Lou Guangxian, and turned around to report to Emperor Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong.

Seeing Cao Youyi leave, Yuan Yuzong immediately whispered to Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian: "God help me!" This is a great achievement! Vice General Jin and Vice General Lou, each of you will lead your troops out of the city, and after you start in the city, you will launch a surprise attack and defeat the group of Han generals in one fell swoop. ”

"Howler! Wrapped up in the lower officials! ”

"Aren't they just some Han generals......"

Jin Bin and Lou Guangxian are not afraid of a group of goods! What's more, there are Yuan Yuzong and Yang Weihan who attacked Emperor Chongzhen in the city, this is the first to capture the thief! Chongzhen has been arrested, can the Han generals outside still fight?

In addition, there are three or four hundred Shuntian soldiers of Hao Shaoqi in the city, which are all the elite of the old battalion of the Dashun army!

To deal with the little people brought by Emperor Chongzhen, such a force is too enough!

……

"Your Majesty, everything in Tianjin City is safe and normal, and the thieves' cavalry is far away in Zhangjiabao, dozens of miles away, and has not approached the Tianjin Acropolis."

A few hundred paces behind the bluffing Han generals, Cao Youyi knelt in front of Emperor Chongzhen's carriage and loudly reported the situation in Tianjin.

Hearing that the rogue cavalry was still far away from the Tianjin Acropolis, everyone, including Emperor Chongzhen, Zhu Cihong, and Cao Huachun, was angry.

Things are going well!

"Mr. Cao," Zhu Cihong asked, "how many generals are there in Tianjin?" When can I go out of the city to receive my reward? ”

"Returning to the prince," Cao Youyi replied, "there are more than 5,500 people in Tianjin's town army plus the actual number of patrols. Among them, the patrol 1,000 people were led by Yang Weihan and went out of the city to deal with the thief cavalry, and the remaining 4,500 people were divided into the middle army, the left road, and the right road, which were divided by the ministers, the deputy general soldier Jin Bin, and the deputy general soldier Lou Guangxian. ”

"So there are 3,000 people in the city?" Zhu Cihong asked.

"Exactly."

"Okay," Zhu Cihong nodded, "Queue up outside the city gate, and the palace will personally reward them." ”

The set of rewarding and buying people's hearts, Zhu Cihong is playing more and more. In the view of his later generations of financial dogs, people's hearts and minds are a matter of benefit distribution. If you don't give money (including land), you are a hooligan!

And the Ming Dynasty is rotten to the root or something, to put it bluntly, too many people are hooligans! There are so many soldiers under Emperor Chongzhen, when will you get enough money? If you don't give money, you still suspect that people are rotten to the roots, isn't it a hooligan? As for Chongzhen's lack of money, it means that the landlord capitalists who spent money to buy the suppression services of the Ming Dynasty are playing hooliganism...... This is actually easy to do, because those hooligan landlords and capitalists actually don't have much force against the imperial court.

As long as you can firmly control a certain number of troops, and then run to the economic center of Jiangnan, you will not be afraid of not receiving money. And the three things of mastering the army, collecting money and spending money, Zhu Cihong must personally grasp them!

"Tzu Hong!" Emperor Chongzhen suddenly called Zhu Cihong's name at this time, this is the first time that Emperor Chongzhen has spoken to his son after the change of Huangjimen Palace!

"Father, you call me?" Zhu Cihong was also a little excited, thinking: Was Emperor Chongzhen moved by his filial piety? That's right...... In today's troubled times, there are not many sons who are as filial as themselves! You have to know how to cherish it!

"After a tiring journey for my father, I want to go into the city to rest quickly." Emperor Chongzhen said lightly.

"Oh." Zhu Cihong thought for a while, "Then the minister will let Admiral Wu protect you and your mother and enter the city first." The others rested outside the city first, and waited for the father and mother to settle down, and then it was not too late to enter the city in turn, but it couldn't be the same as when they entered Wang Qingtuo. ”

There are still many royal nobles and high-ranking officials who arrived with Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong, and with their servants, the number is even more. So many people were in chaos when they entered Wang Qingtuo, and many big officials and lords didn't find a place to stay, and they all slept on the street! Now with the addition of the people brought by Wang Qingtuo, there are more of them, if they are not arranged well, they will have to be messed up.

And it will also break the face of the Ming Dynasty - the fugitive court is already a bit dusty, but it can't be like a flower child! The majesty of the heavenly family is still maintained one or two!

Therefore, you can't rush in, you have to enter the city in an orderly manner, and you have to settle down well.

"That's great, but you don't have to bother Wu Xiang's guards. The convoy of Empress Yi'an Zhang and the two princesses was behind, and they couldn't enter the city for a while, so let Wu Xiang protect them. Chongzhen said, "I just have Feng Yuanyang and Cao Youyi to protect me." They were the landlords of Tianjin, and I believed in them. ”

"It's all up to my father." Zhu Cihong is a rare filial son, of course he will not disobey his father in person.

Besides, when he left Wang Qingtuo, he had already given Cao Youyi's 1,500 soldiers a reward! Throw out 15,000 taels of silver at a time! Cao Youyi's subordinates were so grateful that they were about to call Zhu Cihong godfather. As for Cao Huachun, his elder brother Cao Huachun and several nephews and nephews followed Wu Xiang to protect Empress Zhang and the two princesses.

"Cao Banban," Zhu Cihong turned around and called Cao Huachun to him, and said to him in front of Chongzhen, "Now most of the palm prints of the twelve eunuchs are vacant, and there are not many attendants and palace people who follow out of the palace, so it is difficult to support the inner court that is walking." You are an old man in the palace, and you are an old minister from your father's palace, so you should take responsibility. It's better to temporarily take charge of the five eunuchs such as the internal officials, the division, the royal office, the direct hall, and the capital knowledge. The second eunuch of Shangshan and Shangyi can be supervised by Aunt Wei and Aunt Wu...... Father, do you think this is okay? ”

it! Chongzhen was so angry in his heart, the seven prisons, including the internal officials, the secretary, the royal office, the straight hall, the Duzhi, the Shangshan, and the Shangyi, were all serving the master and doing miscellaneous work, and they had no real power. The celebrant and the imperial horse supervisor are the most powerful eunuchs in the inner court! In addition, the two eunuchs of Shangbao and Yinshou are also very important now, and the treasure seals, edicts, seals, iron scrolls, edicts, investigations, and seals are all managed by them.

As for the shrine supervisor, it doesn't matter, the imperial tombs in Beijing and Changping are gone......

"Who is in charge of the four eunuchs of Sili, Yuma, Shangbao, and Yinshou?" Emperor Chongzhen held back his anger and asked Wen Yan.

Zhu Cihong wanted to laugh when he saw his father's angry appearance, the Ming Dynasty is like this, and he still wants to fight for power with his filial son, how can you be worthy of your ancestors like this? Does your conscience really not hurt? This filial son was sent by Emperor Taizu Gao to rescue you and the Ming Dynasty!

"Father," Zhu Cihong, who still smiled at Chongzhen, said, "The affairs of the three eunuchs, Shang Bao, and Yin Shou can be merged, so let Huang Dabao take charge of it temporarily." As for the Imperial Horse Supervisor, it is under the control of Pan Shuchen, the former commander of the Jingjun Qian...... Of course, this is all temporary, and it is not too late to re-select the right candidate when it comes to staying in the capital in the future. ”

"Huang Dabao is your man," Emperor Chongzhen asked, "he went to the celebrant eunuch, who will serve you?" ”

"Erchen has palace people to serve the Wu family." Zhu Cihong replied with a smile.

"Gong Ren Wu?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned, he didn't remember that there was an old grandmother surnamed Wu next to Zhu Cihong.

In fact, the people of the grandmother's palace around Zhu Cihong were dismissed or sent back to Empress Zhou after the change in the Huangjimen Palace. The eunuch who served him left only one Huang Xiaobao - he is Huang Dabao's godson, he is only fifteen years old this year, he is very clever and thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, the Wu family is the daughter of Admiral Wu." It's still Queen Zhou's side who remembers the letter, and she still remembers Wu Sanmei.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, it was not good for Zhu Cihong to have only one Wu Sanmei by his side......

"Queen, is the Ning family still there?" Chongzhen asked Zhou Hou, "Is there anyone who follows the woman who entered the palace with the Ning family?" ”

"Ning and sister-in-law are together," Zhou Hou replied, "In addition, the palace man Fei also entered the palace with Ning, and he is also with his sister-in-law." ”

"Okay, let both of them go and serve Brother Chun." Chongzhen Road.
