Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Unwillingness of the Blessed King
"The last general has thanked His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for the grace of all the soldiers in Shandong, long live His Royal Highness the Prince!" Ji Feng was overjoyed and knelt down to thank him.
Zhu Cihong smiled, there was no pressure, the salary of ordinary soldiers in the Ming Dynasty was two taels of silver per month, and the generals were different, the 50,000 army was about 120,000 taels of silver per month, and the three months in arrears plus another three months were issued, together with 720,000 taels of silver, and he still had more than 2 million taels of silver.
Sure enough, Shandong's 50,000 troops got their salaries, and one by one they let out earth-shattering cheers, and the call for the prince's long live resounded in the sky, and one by one began to sincerely support the prince.
Move all the silver back to the post house, and when tomorrow arrives, I will find a carriage and horses to load it and go south to the south of the Yangtze River.
More than 1,300 Donggong Imperial Forest Army around Zhu Cihong protected Zhu Cihong all the way south, and it was also meritorious, this time Zhu Cihong added the salary of the Shandong army, and the guards around him naturally could not be less, and no one around him issued twenty taels of silver, and announced that there was another reward for returning to Nanjing.
At the same time, according to what he said, Zhu Cihong spared the money and did not lack a life, and took it with him, and also gave him the position of Don't Drive in the East Palace. It's not that Zhu Cihong has a fancy for money and no lack of talent, but because he is prone to inflammation and power, greedy for life and afraid of death, after arriving in Nanjing, he is lacking such a person to use, and it is the most suitable for money to be not lacking.
One day, Zhu Cihong led an army of 30,000 in Shandong to the south, and spread the news all the way to the south of the Yangtze River.
The reason why Zhu Cihong took 30,000 Shandong troops all the way south is actually to ensure absolute safety, because the road to the south of Shandong has to pass through the territory of Liu Liangzuo and Huang Degong, and Gao Jie is also in Jiangbei, these three towns are all the same as Liu Zeqing, the Shandong general soldier who has been killed by him, is the same as the Shandong army Liu Zeqing, who has been killed by him, and there are tens of thousands of troops in their hands, if there are people who are as firm as Liu Zeqing who support King Fu, I am afraid that they also want to have bad intentions against him, then he is very dangerous along the way. But at this moment, it is different for him to have an army of 30,000 with him, after all, it is impossible for the general army of the three towns to dare to raise troops to attack him in the face of the world's disapproval.
With the news that Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, went south safely, five days have passed since Zhu Cihong arrived in Shandong, and the ministers in Nanjing cheered, especially the Donglin Party that failed to support King Lilu, and they cried with joy one by one, and ran to tell each other.
Some people are happy and some are worried, King Fu got the news so angry that his face turned black, it was only three days before he ascended the throne as the emperor, but at this moment, Zhu Cihong, the prince, is about to come to Jiangnan, so where is there anything to do with him Fu Wang, Fu Wang is useless to have the support of the three general soldiers in Jiangbei, after all, the name is not right, and the three general soldiers do not dare to risk the world, and there is no reason to support Fu Wang.
The Donglin Party under the leadership of Gao Hongtu was very popular, and without thinking, they immediately launched a political discussion to coerce King Fu to come out of the palace in Nanjing, and also canceled his right to supervise the country, and the Donglin Party waited for the real Prince of the Ming Dynasty to arrive in Jiangnan.
King Fu was furious in his palace and smashed countless treasures.
"Lord, you, your tea." A maidservant who had specially filled the house with hot tea in her hand walked here, and was frightened by a vase that flew to her feet and smashed it, and sent the tea in.
"Get out!" King Fu kicked the hapless maid out of the door.
"Damn, why didn't Zhu Cihong die in Beijing, why can he still go south safely, Li Zicheng, a waste thief, grew up in ****, and hundreds of thousands of troops let Zhu Cihong run out, bastard! Bastard! โ
King Fu kicked over a stool again, his eyes were red, and his expression was extremely unwilling and angry.
"This throne was originally my father's, and it was also Lao Tzu's, why did Zhu Cihong, a child, Chongzhen lost the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he is a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, he should be cut by a thousand knives, what qualifications does Zhu Cihong have to ascend the throne to inherit my Daming country, it should be Lao Tzu!" King Fu roared like a madman.
"The prince is right, the throne should be the prince's, the prince's destiny, too... Zhu Cihong is a child, even if he escapes from the capital, he is not qualified to inherit the throne. The personal eunuch beside King Fu flattered.
"Yes, the throne belongs to this king, this king's destiny returns, Zhu Cihong should die!" King Fu looked hideous and murderous, no matter what, he couldn't let Zhu Cihong come to Nanjing, as long as Zhu Cihong died halfway, the throne was still his.
"Looks like it's time to use that power." King Fu took out a black token from his bosom, and Sen Han smiled. This black token represents a force, which was given to him by Lao Fu Wang and his father, and he believed that using this power would definitely kill Zhu Cihong halfway.
After three consecutive days of hurrying, Zhu Cihong came to Muyang County north of Huai'an under the escort of 30,000 troops, along the way Zhu Cihong was leisurely, almost all of the 30,000 troops were foot troops, and the time was not particularly urgent, the army only traveled 100 miles a day, according to this, he would be able to rush to Nanjing City in two days.
Due to the 'seizure' of several high-quality carriages from Liu Zeqing, Zhu Cihong immediately transferred, and sure enough, it was the carriage that Liu Zeqing spent a lot of money to get for himself and his family, and it was not as bumpy as the original inferior carriage that he found casually, and at this moment he was accompanied by Dieyi, a peerless beauty, Zhu Cihong rested on the knees of the lying beauty when he was tired, not to mention how chic.
"Huh? Yiyi, what is this? It's red, and there's something wrapped in it, like... Red envelope? Zhu Cihong suddenly touched something in Yi Dieyi's arms, and took it out without much thought, it was red, made of paper, and it seemed to be wrapped in something, in short, it looked like a red envelope in the previous life, but now it's not a festival, where did it come from? It's weird.
"This is, this is the red envelope given to me by the queen mother, and the bread in it is gold leaves." Dieyi's cheeks blushed slightly, and she squirmed and pinched after half a sound.
"Why did my queen mother give you a red envelope? Why didn't I? Zhu Cihong blinked his eyes and said curiously.
โยทยทยทโ Thinking of that reason, Dieyi's cheeks suddenly turned into big red apples, very shy, too embarrassing, how could she speak.
"Yiyi, why is your face so red, you're not sick, let me take a good look." Zhu Cihong is not a fool, just looking at Dieyi's expression, he knows that Dieyi can't be sick, but such a shy and infinitely shy Dieyi is so seductive, he can see that his heart is about to jump out, his whole body is hot, his eyes are staring at Dieyi's beautiful face, and he almost turned into a wolf.
Dieyi was very shy, quickly snatched back the red envelope in Zhu Cihong's hand, twisted for a moment before biting her pink lip, and answered Zhu Cihong's question just now in a small voice like a mosquito: "This red envelope is actually the queen mother of Liu Zeqing who gave me to His Royal Highness the day after the thief gave me, saying that it is the rule in the palace, so that I can serve His Royal Highness well in the future." โ
Zhu Cihong touched his head, and it took a while to figure it out. It should be that Yiyi and him shared a room for a night that night, and when the queen mother heard about it, she must have mistakenly thought that something had happened to the two of them, so she sent a red envelope to Dieyi according to the rules of the palace before.
Thinking of this, Zhu Cihong looked at Dieyi pitifully: "But Yiyi, you took this red envelope, this prince is so wronged, he died, what do you say, this prince wants you to compensate!" โ
