"Your Highness, what did you say?"

"Your Highness, the Eight Banners of Dongyu are not comparable to thieves!"

Zhu Cihong thought about it for a while, and as soon as he said the idea of the Eight Banners, he frightened Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi, two veteran generals in the army.

This is the Eight Banners True Tartar!

Even in the Guanning army, which was built with a lot of money, only the most elite Wu family members could confront the Eight Banners, and ordinary Guanning soldiers could only resist the Eight Banners by relying on the castle. As for the elite soldiers who fought to the death with the rogues in the pass, once they met the Eight Banners, they were basically defeated and invincible. By now, the Ming army has long suffered from a serious phobia of the Eight Banners.

When fighting the thieves, they were very brave troops, and when they met the Eight Banners True Tartars, they immediately had weak legs, and they couldn't show their skills for three percent, and the battles that could have been won and tied could have been defeated!

The only Guan Ning army that can carry it with the Eight Banners soldiers, that is, can fight with the city, and they will be as weak as a real Tartar outside the city.

Dare to compete with the Eight Banners in front of the gong and drum against the Ming army, I'm afraid it hasn't been born yet!

And Zhu Cihong doesn't have any troops in his hands that can fight. Don't look at the Dagukou side, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers gathered, but they are all rabble. That is, the 1,000 people brought by Wu Guoyong from Shanhaiguan can compete with the Eight Banners a little, but most of the results of the competition are still a loss!

It's just a good loss......

Zhu Cihong's gaze slid over the faces of Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi, and when he saw that both of them had sad faces, he suddenly laughed: "Old Taishan, Cao Weishuai, are you all afraid of the Eight Banners?" ”

"This ......"

"Chitose Lord, with all due respect, the Eight Banners are like tigers, and the Liukou is at most a jackal!" Wu Xiang shook his head again and again, "Now that the army is in the army, Shi Mo said that he was fighting with the Eight Banners, even if he heard the name of the Manchurian Tartar, he would also tremble!" ”

"yes!" Cao Youyi said, "How can you win if you are afraid before you fight?" Chitose Lord, you have to think twice! ”

"No, no, no," Zhu Cihong smiled, "There is no fear...... Among the new army, there are also a thousand or hundreds of heroes who are not afraid of Tartars! ”

And not afraid of the Tartars?

Still in the midst of the new army?

Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi both found it incredulous.

"There really is! When did Hongu deceive you? Zhu Cihong smiled, "Although the number is not much, it is enough to hit the Tartars in the Dagukou area!"

Now everyone in the world is afraid of the East like a tiger! If the palace can't break the rumors of the invincibility of the Eastern Captives, it will be difficult to gain a foothold even if it goes to stay in the capital.

And...... What if you can make an alliance of the abyss? Cutting land, relatives, and New Year's coins, the palace is willing to give, as long as Dongyu can withdraw from the Great Wall! ”

Zhu Cihong paused, and then lowered his voice: "Occupying half of the south of the Yangtze River to rebuild the Ming Dynasty is a last resort, and it is the best choice to sit and watch the captives and thieves fight, wait for the prisoners to die, and then fight with the captives and then make peace, and recover the Beijing Division!"

If you can't win, it's not too late to float into the sea! If you win...... The world is decided, and this palace can go one step further! ”

This has come to the root!

If you're lucky, you'll really beat the Tartar Dolgon into the Empress Dowager Xiao of Khitan. Zhu Cihong will be able to enter the city of Beijing as a victor. At that time, Zhu Cihong did not force the palace, and Chongzhen was embarrassed to be the monarch of the world, so he could only obediently abdicate and make way for Xian.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty ushered in the rebirth and revival of the Holy Lord with this victorious attitude, and many of the subsequent reforms will be much easier.

Because everyone in the world knows that the Mantars are the fiercest! If even the Manchu Tartars can't deal with Prince Zhu, then who else dares to challenge the authority of the future Lord of the Ming Dynasty?

Does anyone think that they are more murderous than Tartars?

Zhu Cihong looked at Wu Xiang: "Old Taishan, this palace is confident that it will thwart the vanguard of the Tartars here at Dagukou...... But it was impossible to defeat the brigade of the Tartars. Therefore, the opening of Shanhaiguan must be tightened no matter what! ”

"Got it!" Wu Xiang nodded, "The old man will write a letter to take care of the second brother, and keep it from letting the Mantars get the Shanhaiguan." ”

"Wumei," Zhu Cihong said to Shen Tingyang again, "the matter of reopening Dongjiang Town will be entrusted to the Navy Guard...... It does not have to be reopened on Phi Island, any island off the coast of Liaodong and North Korea can be the base of Dongjiang Town.

After choosing a place, report it to the main palace, and the main palace will transfer the land division to you, and then give an order to the king of Joseon! ”

"Your Highness," Shen Tingyang reminded in a low voice, "North Korea will not be a minister to me now. ”

North Korea was originally a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, but in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji personally conquered North Korea and forced North Korea to abandon the father country of the Ming Dynasty and proclaim himself a vassal to the Qing Dynasty.

"Humph! The main palace does not want the Koreans to be vassals, the main palace only needs to open Donggang Town on the territory of the Koreans, and also have trade benefits! ”

Zhu Cihong glanced at Shen Tingyang and said with a smile: "Our Ming Lu Shi can't beat the Tartars, can't he beat the Korean State?" If they don't let you occupy the islands and don't trade with you, you will go to the palace to fight! Hit hard! Hit the North Koreans and cry for help! ”

......

On April 12, the Ming Dynasty, which was exiled from Beijing, arrived at Dagukou. Zhu Cihong was in the palace hall of Emperor Chongzhen and convened his first court meeting since the regency of the Fu Army!

It is said that it is a court meeting, but there are not many officials and nobles who participate. It is far from the pomp and circumstance when he listened to the government at the imperial gate in Beijing, as long as there were more than 100 people.

Of course, the lobby of this courtyard provided by Shen Tingyang could not be crowded with so many people, so most of the officials and nobles stayed in the courtyard. Zhu Cihong didn't let them stand, they all gave them seats, and Zhu Cihong himself put a chair on the side of Emperor Chongzhen.

After the ministers visited, Zhu Cihong spoke before Chongzhen: "Today's court meeting is the first court meeting after the imperial court left Beijing!" I'm sure you've heard of what you're going to talk about! ”

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne, became nervous!

Heard of it? Why don't I know? What is this rebel going to do, and he doesn't let me know? Do you have to usurp the throne......

Zhu Cihong paused and sighed: "Now that the capital has fallen, the imperial court is wandering, and the four sides of the world have long been together...... This is already the situation of the troubled times of the Warring States! And our court, to this day, is still a peaceful and prosperous court!

This is not good, the law of discussion and governance of the imperial court must be greatly changed! ”

Not to usurp the throne...... It's about changing the ancestral family law!

The ancestral family law is the largest, even the emperor can't easily move, let alone a prince of the army. If you dare to move lightly, the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty will jump out to protest, and if the matter is big, there may be corpses......

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the throne in the middle of the hall, suddenly came to his senses, his eyes widened, and he looked at the group of courtiers below, waiting for someone to jump out to challenge the authority of the prince.

He is now watching the excitement and is not afraid of big things, and the bigger the trouble, the better...... It's a big fuss, and he, the emperor, can come out and speak, and by the way, pull down the prince of Fujun who is in the limelight!

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen coughed lightly - just an itchy throat, nothing else!

I don't know if his hint had an effect, and someone immediately stood up and asked.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, although the laws of the imperial court are a bit out of place, they are all old rules of the past dynasties, which can be traced back to the Hongwu period at the earliest, and have been implemented for more than 270 years.

Chongzhen followed the voice and looked over, and was stunned for a moment. The one who took the lead in "questioning" Zhu Cihong was actually Hou Sui, a scholar of Dongge University and a scholar of the household department!

He was released from the prison by Zhu Cihong and used it again, and now in order to protect his ancestors, he even ignores the prince's rescue and the great grace of Zhiyu...... Sure enough, it's a loyal minister!

Chongzhen thought to himself: This Donglin party is really strong, and they will be reused in the future......
