The autumn harvest was over, and in the west of Jiande County, when Cheng Xinyuan and Wei Linhan signed the armistice agreement on behalf of the People's Army and the Ming Court respectively, the People's Army and the Ming Court also officially ceased war, and the armistice lasted for up to three years.

As a condition of the armistice, the Ming court needed to marry Zhu Yaojiang, the eldest princess of Qixia, to Fang Nan, the governor of the People's Army, and at the same time the Ming court gave materials worth three million taels of silver and three thousand craftsmen as a dowry, and the dowry was sent to the People's Army-ruled area in six months, and on March 19 next year, Fang Nan married Zhu Yaojiang in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Guangzhou City on time, and Zhu Yaojiang needed to leave the capital and go to Guangzhou City in advance.

Wei Linhan's right hand that signed the armistice agreement was trembling all the time, and his forehead was full of sweat, not because the weather was too hot, but because Wei Linhan felt that his future was bleak.

This armistice agreement is a shame for the Ming court, a great shame, it is not enough to send the eldest princess to the People's Army, and an additional three million taels of silver worth of materials and three thousand craftsmen will be given, which is even more embarrassing than the last truce with the People's Army, and Da Ming's face has been lost.

I am afraid that no one in the Ming court will mention or dare to mention the armistice agreement, and whoever dares to pretend to be in front of Zhu Yijun will usher in Zhu Yijun's anger.

Half a year ago, Wei Linhan thought that by completing this important task, he would be able to gain more trust from the emperor, and promotion would not be a problem, but when Wei Linhan signed the armistice agreement that represented shame, Wei Linhan could already imagine his own situation, I am afraid that the emperor is no longer willing to see him, and the literati and scholars will think that he is a sinner and abuse him, and he will have nowhere to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

Maybe it is a good choice to join the People's Army, but Wei Linhan just popped up this idea in his mind and was pinched off by him, his home is in the capital, his wife, son and daughter are all in the capital, he can run to the People's Army now, but his family can't.

What's more, Wei Linhan still has enough loyalty to the Ming court and the emperor, even if he will become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, his loyalty will still not disappear, and he hopes that the Ming court can exterminate the people's army.

In the palace, knowing that he was going to marry the leader of the thieves, for a long time, Zhu Yaojiang was like a walking corpse, most of the time he was silent, his face was full of indifference, and only when Zhu Yijun came to visit her, Zhu Yaojiang would squeeze out a somewhat ugly smile on his face.

A seventeen-year-old girl who has never left the imperial city to see the outside world, but she will soon marry an enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

"Marrying" is still good, more precisely, "dedication", offering the women of the Zhu family to stop the people's army.

With a word difference, Zhu Yaojiang seems to have seen his future destiny, which is boundless darkness without any light.

Zhu Yaojiang's previous expectations have become meaningless, and now Zhu Yaojiang is simply a living person, seeing Zhu Yaojiang who seems to be a walking corpse, even Zhu Yijun is reluctant to come.

However, Zhu Yaojiang quickly changed, Zhu Yaojiang thought of his task, just to buy enough time for the Ming Dynasty to accumulate strength, but Zhu Yaojiang felt that it was not enough, Xiangning heard a lot of news from other palace maids and eunuchs, the situation of the Ming Dynasty was very bad, the millions of Ming troops were defeated, and no one knew if the Ming Court could defeat the People's Army next time.

Knowing this, as a woman of the Zhu family, Zhu Yaojiang decided to do more things for the Zhu family, the truce can allow Daming to accumulate strength, and after Daming has accumulated enough strength, if his future husband also dies, Daming will definitely be able to exterminate the thieves.

Zhu Yaojiang took the initiative to make a request to Zhu Yijun to learn the skills of killing, and wanted to personally find an opportunity to kill the thief leader in the future.

Zhu Yijun originally did not agree, but after thinking for a long time, Zhu Yijun still agreed, he knew that no matter whether Zhu Yaojiang could kill the leader of the thieves, in the thief base camp, Zhu Yaojiang would not be able to escape, Zhu Yaojiang would use his life to fight for a chance for the Ming family and the Zhu family, this is the woman of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yijun is a little sad, the millions of troops have been defeated by thieves, the Ming soldiers are incompetent, but now they need a woman to fight for the opportunity.

Soon, several women were ordered to teach Zhu Yaojiang the skills of killing, there was no martial arts sword, and there was no learning to draw a bow and shoot arrows, which was too difficult for a seventeen-year-old girl, not to mention that the time left for Zhu Yaojiang was less than half a year.

Zhu Yaojiang learned to use common items such as scissors to kill people with golden hairpins, as long as he hit the vital position of the body, he could hit it hard, and he would be useless if he didn't die.

This killing technique has great advantages for women, especially when dealing with womanizers, provided that the other person has let his guard down.

Zhu Yaojiang, who was studying, didn't know that what she was learning had no effect on an extraordinary person at all.

Zhu Yaojiang and a weak woman are working hard for Daming, and there are many, many people in the world who are loyal to Daming, and many people are working hard for it.

A scholar from a landlord family, seeing that the Ming Dynasty was in danger, persuaded his father to spend more money to expand the escort team from 300 to 1,000 people, and asked his father to take him to meet several well-connected gentry and businessmen to persuade them to form an escort team with an upper limit of 1,000 people one by one.

This scholar personally entered the escort team and trained with the soldiers, thinking that one day he would lead the army to defeat the thieves and restore the Ming Dynasty and mountains.

There are officials on the ruling side who frequently meet with the gentry and businessmen, hoping that the gentry and businessmen will have the money to contribute and someone to train an elite army.

There are also Confucian scholars who lobbied the gentry and merchants everywhere, hoping that the gentry and businessmen would donate part of their wealth to fight against the thieves together.

Even the officials who couldn't walk when they saw gold and silver in the past now restrained their actions, they understand that the Ming Dynasty is their backer, if the Ming Dynasty falls, they will all be finished, and now the Ming Dynasty has the People's Army as a great enemy, and the People's Army can even destroy the Ming Dynasty, in such a critical situation, they are even more anxious about the money-greedy officials.

Even if they want to make money, they will have to wait until the People's Army is wiped out by the Ming Dynasty, as long as the Ming Dynasty is there, they will be able to make more wealth, and they will have the life to use this wealth.

However, there were still many people in the Ming ruling area who could not see the situation clearly, and they believed that the imperial court's strategy of allowing the gentry and merchants to set up escorts could resist or even defeat the people's army, and they wanted to find an opportunity to fight for power or collect more wealth.

People are so strange, no matter whether the situation is peaceful or dangerous, many people just like infighting, especially the Ming Dynasty, which has been established for hundreds of years, and various forces are deep-rooted.

Zhu Yijun looked at all this indifferently.

[In order to prevent being said to be poisonous, let's say in advance that after Zhu Yaojiang arrives in Guangzhou City, the surrounding environment will gradually change, and he will give up assassinating the protagonist]
