"What? You're going to shake the country! This seems like a big sin, huh? ”

Zhu Cihong was stunned by the guilty Zuo Mengmei in front of him, he never thought that this girl would be so protective of a man and stop herself from such a fatal crime as shaking the country!

What a woman!

Zuo Mengmei finished pleading, tears came down, crying pear blossoms with rain, "The slave has already known that he is wrong, today he only asks for a heavy punishment from the Chitose Lord, that is, Ling Chi is executed, and the slave does not complain, just ask not to implicate the prince." The prince is young and ignorant......"

was also executed for a long time, without any complaints...... Zhu Cihong looked at her with a sad and crying look, and said in her heart: Now that she hasn't even beaten her buttocks, she cries like this, if you really want to be late, you can't cry to death?

"There is no need for heavy punishments," Zhu Cihong was still pleasant, "Let's punish a little...... How to punish it? Bi Hanlin! ”

"The minister is here!" Bi Jiucheng answered, he was holding a notebook and recording it!

Zhu Cihong instructed: "Delete the part where Princess Chu asked for guilt just now, delete it!" He glanced at Zuo Mengmei again and said with a smile, "Now there is no such crime as you fanning the country...... But punishment still has to be punished! ”

The "national capital" is Zhu Cihong himself! The princess fanned the country and shook the country, which is a good death! Zhu Cihong is not easy to excuse her...... Thankfully, he can still write history!

So hurry up and ask Bi Jiucheng to delete the crimes that Zuo Mengmei confessed, and Zuo Mengmei will be a loyal concubine and a virtuous concubine in the future!

But you can't just let go of Zhu Cizhao, a bastard boy!

Zhu Cihong is so discerning, of course he knows that Zuo Mengmei is clearing mines for Zhu Cizhao - Zhu Cizhao is also a Jinyi Wei soldier by his side, and his nonsense is archived in the Jinyi Weinan Town Fusi!

Zhu Cihong's failure to pursue it now does not mean that he will not pursue it in the future!

So Zuo Mengmei wants to take advantage of the moment to clear mines for her husband, don't look at her crying like this, in fact, she is not afraid at all!

Because there are more than 10,000 people in the army under Zhu Cizhao's name, how can they be considered a big warlord, and Daniel Zhang and Zuo Mengmei have sworn brother and sister again, and they can be regarded as the people in the Chu King's Mansion.

What if Zhu Cixi killed Zhu Cizhao and Zuo Mengmei, and the couple still had Daniel Zhang's army?

In addition, there are other warlords here in Jingzhou Mansion, and their total strength is not less than 50,000!

Without their help, how could Zhu Cihong beat Li Zicheng with 10,000 or thousands of people in his own lineage? If you can beat it, you have to lose a lot!

Don't look at the fact that there are no less than 200,000 descendants on Zhu Cihong's books, but in fact, there are only 24 infantry regiments that have really completed the "exemplary" reorganization, organized into six divisions, and the total strength is less than 100,000.

These six divisions are Zhu Cihong's real roots!

Moreover, Zhu Cihong's regime is not a regime supported by the vast number of landlord class intellectuals in the southeast and Huguang - if they want to support it, they have to kneel and beg for food! And Zhu Cihong is now standing and grabbing money, and the income of the three provinces of Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang alone has 16 million stone 100 meters and more than 10 million taels of silver.

How could the gentry of the southeast lake be embraced? To put it bluntly, these guys are the real enemies of the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Cihong!

For example, they occupy 200 million mu of land in Huguang, but they can't even pay the field tax of 2 million stone white rice a year, how can they not be the enemies of the Ming Dynasty?

Even a fool emperor like Chongzhen knows that "everyone can kill Wenchen"! Zhu Cihong is so shrewd that he doesn't know?

As for what kind of nationalism and patriotism, an eloquent essay and an impassioned speech will mobilize all the scholars in the southeast...... That's dreaming!

Zhu Cihong worked so hard to discredit the Qing Dynasty, in exchange for the fact that the southeastern scholars did not take the initiative to surrender to the Tartars.

And the Tartars are really coming, and they don't know how they are!

Therefore, Zhu Cihong's regime is actually a minority regime of exiled northerners!

And he also has no financial resources to bring all the northerners into the system, and the northerners who do not enter the system will certainly not support Zhu Cihong.

Therefore, now that he is really controlled, the total number of northerners who can be trusted is two or three hundred thousand...... This is his true strength, compared to the head, it is really not much more than the Qing Dynasty and the Great Shun Dynasty.

So he can't let go of it and fight with Tartar and Li Zicheng, and fight for his 200,000, maybe he can defeat Tartar and Li Zicheng, but what is the consequence?

In fact, you don't have to die all of them, half of them will have no sharpness, this is not a revolutionary army!

Don't even have to die half, as long as Dolgon and Li Zicheng can use a "drag" trick to make the war drag on for a long time, they can make Zhu Cihong deflated - the Northern Expedition will not be won for a long time, not to mention the low morale of the troops, and the nest may also change!

On the Huguang side, it may not be easy for Li Zicheng to delay, after all, Huguang is a water network terrain. Zhu Cihong's army could be supplied and maneuvered by water, but it had to reach the Northland...... Zhu Cihong didn't have many cavalry, and he didn't have enough horses to pull cannons and grain carts, so he really relied on 100,000 infantry who could set up Morris's phalanx and carried thirty days' rations to fight with the Eight Banners?

Is it true that Dorgon and Dodor will not learn from Hauge? If they can't fight a tough battle, they won't come to lure the enemy deep and cut off the enemy's food and grass?

Zhu Cihong led his northern army to the southeast and Huguang to loot with his fists clenched, which was really cutting off people's money like killing his parents! How many filial sons are there in Southeast Huguang? If the army collapses, can people let him go? Why don't you eat him and his Northern Army family alive?

So Zhu Cihong now wants to expand his basic market (he still has to grab money, or he will use his fart to expand), and on the other hand, he wants to preserve his strength - it sounds very reactionary, but if he wants to stand and grab money, if he wants to spend money alive, he has to preserve his strength!

And if you want to preserve your strength, you have to drive all kinds of miscellaneous armies, and to drive the miscellaneous army, Zhu Cihong has to show the amount of tolerance - brothers can't tolerate it, can you tolerate miscellaneous cards?

Zhu Cihong showed a tolerant smile and said to Zuo Mengmei: "Princess Chu, your mistakes, the King of Chu must be borne, so the punishment has to fall on him...... His prince can't be the prince anymore, let's be the prince of the county instead!

Nor can he be king in Jingzhou Mansion...... Or, let's be the king of Pingxi instead! ”

"King Pingxi?" Zuo Mengmei was stunned, how could she have the same name as Wu Sangui?

She asked tentatively: "Chitose Lord doesn't want the prince to fight Shaanxi, right?" ”

"No," Zhu Cihong waved his hand, "how did he beat Shaanxi?" He smiled, "This palace recently received a joint letter from Wu Zhaoyuan, the governor of Yunnan, and Wang Xigon, a former scholar of Dongge University, saying that Mu Tianbo rebelled, and Sha Dingzhou sought peace, and it is appropriate to replace Yunnan!" ”

"What?" Zuo Mengmei was stunned and stunned, "Mu Tianbo is the Duke of Qianguo, right?" Who is Sha Ting Chau? ”

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Shadingzhou is the toast of Wang Lane and Ah Mi. ”

Zuo Mengmei was still confused.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "This Yunnan is very important, and you can't let Shadingzhou Yijie Tusi go to guard it." Since the Qianguo family can't do it anymore, let a vassal king guard it! When the war in Jingzhou Mansion ended, Cizhao changed the title of King of Pingxi and went to Yunnan to take charge. ”

He looked at Daniel Zhang again: "Zhang Feixiong, how about the Yunnan General Soldier?" ”

Zhu Cihong is really cunning, can he not know that Mu Tianbo was overthrown in a coup d'état? Haven't you watched "History of the Ming Dynasty" and haven't watched "The Legend of Deer and Ding"? But he just didn't break it, and threw Yunnan to Daniel Zhang, Zhu Cizhao, and Zuo Mengmei, anyway, Sha Dingzhou would definitely not be able to beat Daniel Zhang!

And Zhu Cihong can't drop too many troops in Yunnan, so just let them pacify these miscellaneous cards - Zhu Cihong is still very generous to miscellaneous cards, he didn't let people go to Pingzuo Liangyu before, that is, he can't reward Huguang. Huguang has 200 million mu, and Yunnan has less than 1.8 million mu on the books. Therefore, the former must be firmly grasped, and the latter can be handled by the feudal town...... Judging from the amount of land and the oil and water that can be squeezed out, Zhu Cizhao, who was renamed Yunnan from Jingzhou, is indeed a big loss.

However, Yunnan is beyond the reach of the imperial court, and after Zhu Cizhao, Zuo Mengmei and Daniel Zhang go there, they will be able to live in peace!
