"Admiral, please take a seat." Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Xiang with a smile and pointed to an empty chair in front of him.

"The minister is terrified." Wu Xiang hurriedly excused himself.

"The Admiral's father and son are both meritorious ministers, the pillars of the country, why can't they sit together?" Zhu Cihong knew that Wu Xiang was not humble, but really didn't dare to sit. Because his superior, Wang Chengen, was still standing honestly, how could he sit?

"Chitose told you to sit, so you can sit." Wang Chengen also said with a smile. Wu Xiang will soon be the "old emperor", and he is also the grandfather of the country with heavy troops, but I am afraid that he will have a seat in front of the Son of Heaven.

"Thank you." Wu Xiang didn't squirm anymore, and sat down on the chair opposite the prince, but only half of his buttocks were touched.

As for Wu Sanfu, he can only stand behind his father honestly.

"Has the Admiral heard of the proposal to move south?" Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Xiang and asked.

"Moving south?" Wu Xiang was shocked, "Absolutely not!" Jingshi is the foundation of the country, where the mausoleum of the first emperor is located, how can it be donated? ”

Zhu Cihong just smiled habitually, as if he was praising Wu Xiang's position. But in my heart, I am like a mirror, and I know what my future father-in-law is planning?

What is the foundation of the country, what is the mausoleum of the first emperor, has little to do with the old Wu family. What the Wu family really cares about is millions of salaries a year!

Now the Wu family is already the largest military leader in the Guanning army, and the part of the millions of salaries, except for the part of filial piety to officials at all levels, is at the disposal of the Wu family. Among them, there are hundreds of thousands of them in the pockets of the Wu family's father and son, to say the least, right?

If the imperial court moved south, Jiliao would naturally have to give up, and the Guanning army would either escort the south or surrender to Li Chuang. Whether it is to go south or surrender, the annual salary of millions of dollars will definitely be gone. So the Wu family's stance against moving south is conceivable!

However, when Beijing City really has no way to defend, escorting the south should be the best way out for the Wu family. Because no matter whether it is reduced to Shun or Qing, no one will give the Wu family a few million salaries a year. Not only will there be no salary, but they will also be used as cannon fodder.

If the Wu family surrenders, it will be the vanguard of Li Chuang's battle with the Qing army. On the contrary, it was the vanguard of the Qing army to enter the pass and attack Li Chuang. Only by following the Ming Dynasty to the south will it be regarded as a descendant, and it will be raised with good food and drink. It may even go further...... Zhu and Wu, share the world!

Because as long as the 30,000 or 40,000 Guan Ning troops in Wu Sangui's hands are pulled to the south, they are invincible!

At that time, the Ming court will point to the Wu family's army to live, and the wealth of Jiangnan is not at the mercy of the Wu family?

It's just that Wu Sangui in history couldn't make up his mind at the critical moment, and lost the historical opportunity that belonged to him in the delay and waiting, so he became the eternal sinner who led the wolf into the house, and also buried most of the Wu family.

From this point of view, Wu Sangui was not a clever politician, and it was simply destined to fight the streets in the battle of the three feudatories.

"My father's determination to move south has been decided!" Zhu Cihong said word by word, "Today, I will pass on the secret decree to Wang Yongji and Ling Lang, escorted by Guan Ningjun, and go to Tianjin Weinanxing!" Feng Yuanyang has prepared 200 large sea boats and thousands of sailors, who can escort them to Denglai at any time. ”

"What!?" Wu Xiang took a cool breath, "The ministers of the DPRK and the central government...... Are you all in favor of moving south? ”

Zhu Cihong's father-in-law has only been in Beijing for a month, and he doesn't know Chongzhen's temper, thinking that Chongzhen is really a good emperor who follows advice. Therefore, in his opinion, the obstacle to moving south is the opposition of the ministers of the DPRK and China, not Chongzhen's unauthentic dumping.

"Since it is a secret decree, of course it can't be known to the ministers of the court." Zhu Cihong continued to flicker, "If the news is leaked, the rebel will definitely block it with a light horse, and the ugly may also take the opportunity to pounce." Moreover, among the Beijing teachers, it is inevitable to panic, and the trend of landslides is inevitable. ”

"The courtiers don't know, how can they get away in a hurry?" The cold sweat on Wu Xiang's forehead came out, he hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Besides, the dog's soldiers and horses are only afraid to enter the Shanhaiguan, and there are hundreds of thousands of Liao people accompanying him......"

Wu Xiang didn't care if the courtiers could get away, but most of the Liao people who followed Wu Sangui were military dependents, but it wasn't that they could ignore it.

"Didn't the Admiral tell his father a month ago that there are only 3,000 soldiers available?" Zhu Cihong was still smiling, without the slightest fear of impending disaster, and said eloquently, "Three thousand brave people will not have hundreds of thousands of families, right?" Even if you fight a little richer, with 5,000 brave warriors to escort you, 20,000 military dependents are enough. With all the mule and horse carts of the Guanning Army, isn't it enough for 20,000 thousands of people? ”

Wu Xiang was speechless by Zhu Cihong's words, and at the same time surprised by Zhu Cihong's composure.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is young, but his bearing is bold but extraordinary!

Zhu Cihong then said: "There are not many soldiers, but fine." But the elite soldiers have to be used in the right place! The three thousand family members of the Admiral's father and son, if they are used to break through the rebellion and fight with the ugly, how can they be? If it is used by the captives, entering the customs and fighting to the death with the old camp of the rogue, attacking the city, and fighting the wilderness, what can it be? ”

Wu Xiang couldn't sit still when he heard Zhu Cihong's words, and stood up suddenly, "Why did Your Highness say this?" The father and son are loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will not take refuge in the rebellious captivity......"

Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Xiang and said slowly: "Admiral Shao'an, this palace knows that Admiral's father and son are loyal, and Er father and son are not only loyal, but also smart. Knowing that being used by the rebels is a dead end! Even if you are lucky enough to live, you will inevitably be poor.

The 3,000 families of the Admiral's father and son were raised with a salary of millions...... The only person in the world who can give the Admiral's father and son a million salaries is Da Ming! There is an old camp for rebellion, and there are eight banners for ugliness, and the admiral's father and son voted for it, but it is used as a precursor, how can it become a heart? Lao Ying, Eight Banners have millions of salaries? What's more?

Only if the palace and the father and the emperor go to the south of the Yangtze River, only the brave guard camp of the admiral's father and son and Huang Degong can be relied on, and the rest are not enough. Admiral's father and son and Huang Degong are the support of Mount Tai of the Ming Dynasty!

And the world is in chaos, and the Central Plains is broken. The only one who can support the 3,000 families of the Er family is Jiangnan! If the father and son can lead thousands of families to escort Nanxing, they will be the pillars of the country, and the wealth of Jiangnan should be shared! ”

Zhu Cihong's tone and expression changed suddenly, and he said categorically: "Nan Xing's plan has been decided, there is no doubt, and the secret decree will be sent to Shanhaiguan today." This palace only asks whether the admiral father and son are from the dragon or not! ”

Is this true?

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu, father and son, also felt suffocated for a while...... This is the Zhu family and the Wu family want to share the Jiangnan River!

Coercing the Son of Heaven, ordering the princes, seeking to usurp the throne or something, Wu Xiang couldn't think of it, and he didn't dare to think about it. But the good thing of going to Jiangnan to make money is something that Wu Xiang dreams of.

Now the world is poor, only Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong are rich. If you can go to Jiangnan to make a fortune, who will still be nostalgic for the bitter Shanhaiguan?

And how long can the situation in Shanhaiguan be maintained? Once Beijing falls, if the Wu family can't escort the south in time, they will have to make a choice between Shunqing and Qing. But no matter who you choose, you are a big and nasty cannon fodder, and sooner or later you will be consumed - of course, in history, Wu Sangui mixed with the future of King Pingxi, Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu and Wu Sangui himself are now undreamable.

Judging from the current situation, in the world, only a big man like Daming will spend millions a year to support the Guanning army...... This account is really easy to calculate.

So once Chongzhen made up his mind, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui did not have the problem of following or not following at all.

Since there was no choice, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu glanced at each other, and then they both bowed: "The father and son are willing to serve the death to protect Nan Xing!" ”

"Good!" Zhu Cihong smiled, "The Admiral's father and son are indeed the pillars of the country!"

By the way, there is one more thing to know with the Admiral's father and son. Juyongguan ...... It has fallen into the hands of the rebels! The rebellious soldiers will come to the city of Beijing in ten days. Therefore, Nan Xing's matter cannot be delayed, and most of them have to break through! Is the Admiral father and son terrible? ”

What the? Is there such a thing? Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu looked at Zhu Cihong in surprise, unable to speak.

Fear...... Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were of course afraid, but they were even more surprised. Because the two of them couldn't see a trace of panic and sorrow on Zhu Cihong's face.

The prince grew up in the deep palace and was raised by women and internal officials, shouldn't he be very timid?

The rebellion is going to Beijing City, why aren't you, the prince, afraid at all?
