After taking a bath, changing into clean clothes, eating some food indiscriminately, and convening a meeting of the generals with strong spirits, and personally carrying out some combat mobilization, Zhu Cihong still fell asleep groggily. Just when Cao Youyi, the commander of the military commander of the Generalissimo of the Fu Army, assigned tasks to the commanders and co-commanders of the following divisions, as well as Zhu Chunjie, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Shen Tingyang, the commander of the Navy Guard, he accidentally fell asleep and snored.

However, everyone also knows how hard Zhu Cihong has been these days, so they can't bear to wake him up. Everyone pinched their voices and held a combat meeting.

Now others can take turns to sleep for a while, but he, the prince of Fujun, has to supervise the battle day and night.

Even in between battles, he had to comfort the wounded, check the food, distribute various rewards to the meritorious soldiers, talk to officers at all levels of the new army, and even ask about building a spur in his busy schedule - the reason why it is a spur instead of a bayonet is because there is no blade, only a cone, in fact, it is a three-foot-long armor-piercing cone, which is not difficult to build, but it is a bit troublesome to install the gun. Because the fire prickle of this era is not a standardized product, the matching spur has to be customized, which is very troublesome.

Fortunately, Tianjin Wei is already an important military industrial town, and there are many craftsmen to hire. Therefore, Zhu Cihong assigned Li Shi, the son of Li Zubai, who can understand geometric figures, and soy sauce Huang and Su Laomi to be responsible for creating 2,000 customized versions of sleeve bayonets, and also recruiting a group of craftsmen with the army. This matter is not big or small, and Zhu Cihong can't help but ask.

In short, Zhu Cihong asked about all kinds of things as much as possible. This kind of practice of his is called "doing everything himself", and it is not a very clever leadership method. However, when there are not many people who can do things, it is a last resort.

At least under the personal interrogation of Prince Zhu, the soldiers of the new army can eat meat and get the military pay and rewards they deserve. Those who deserve to have their heads cut off and who deserve to die in the barracks will not escape punishment. Officers and men who have performed well in combat can be promoted, and unqualified officers will also be removed in a timely manner. Two or three hundred socket spines were also made that could be inserted into the body of the turtledove firecracker.

Therefore, the new army, which had only been established for a long time, had not been very good in terms of troops, and had an extremely complicated composition of officers, was able to exert its extraordinary performance in these three days of bloody battles, and caused heavy casualties to Tang Tong's troops. If it weren't for the fact that a lot of strong men were recruited from around Tianjin Wei to fill the army, the team of the Tang General Army would have been out of shape a long time ago.

And Zhu Cihong was able to bring the new army to the point where it is today in such a short period of time. To tell the truth, there is no one under the Generalissimo Fujun Mansion who is not convinced. Even Wu Xiang and Cao Youyi, the two veteran generals, felt that if they went up by themselves, they would definitely be much inferior to Zhu Cihong.

Unconsciously, Prince Zhu has established his prestige and has become the backbone of the wandering Ming court.

"Cao Banban, is there any news from Yongping?"

Just when everyone began to regard Zhu Cihong as the backbone, Emperor Chongzhen, who lived in the yamen of the governor of Nancheng, Tianjin, was anxiously waiting for news from Wu Sangui.

His three sons and a noble concubine are heading in the direction of Yongping! Now there is no news, can he, a father, not be in a hurry?

In addition, the new army pulled up by Zhu Cihong is a rabble after all, and the 40,000 Guan Ning army under Wu Sangui is the elite. As long as these Guan Ning troops arrived in Tianjin, Chongzhen's father and son could be regarded as truly out of danger.

But now there is no news in the direction of Yongping! What is Wu Sangui doing? Did his three sons get away with it? If he hadn't escaped, Tzu Hong would have been the only son in the family......

"Emperor, what are you asking?"

Cao Huachun was a little drowsy and didn't hear Chongzhen's words clearly. He has been out of the palace for many years, and he is no longer used to getting up early and greedy for darkness.

Emperor Chongzhen frowned, he didn't even have a powerful envoy now, he was really aggrieved.

"Is anyone from Yongping coming?"

"Nope." Cao Huachun replied, "Tianjin Wei is currently surrounded by rogues...... You can't get in or out! ”

Chongzhen snorted: "Won't you send warriors to break through the siege?" ”

"This ......" Cao Huachun squinted sleepy, and didn't know how to respond.

Now that the Generalissimo of Fujun's Mansion has seized the military power, he, the big man, can't ask at all, and I don't know if Zhu Cihong has sent warriors to break the siege to contact Wu Sangui.

Chongzhen still wanted to count two sentences, and a nephew of Cao Huachun whispered outside the house.

"Emperor, Zhang Juren from Tianjin Wei led seventeen or eighteen young women to ask for a meeting outside the governor's yamen, saying that they had selected beautiful women by the order of the Chitose Lord......"

"Beauty?" Emperor Chongzhen was stunned and looked at Cao Huachun.

Cao Huachun shook his head, "No, I haven't heard of it...... Xu is the young master saw that there was no one around the emperor, so he let the Tianjin gentry draft girl? ”

"Nonsense!" Chongzhen glared at Cao Huachun, "How can I have such thoughts?" ”

"That's what the master needs?" Cao Huachun pondered and said, "The little master may want to add a grandson to the emperor as soon as possible?" ”

Chongzhen was right when he thought about it, it must be Zhu Cihong who was lustful, and thought that Wu Sanmei, Ning Xiangyu and Fei Zhen'e were not beautiful enough, so he called the talent show.

"Cao Banban, you go and take a look." Chongzhen said, "If there is anything that can be seen, it will be accepted, and if there is none, the person will be sent away...... But don't choose too much, just one or two. Cihong is still young, don't let him indulge in women. ”

"The old slave obeys."

Cao Huachun received Chongzhen's will, and staggered out of the yamen with his nephew. How did he know that he had fallen into someone's trap...... Where are there any little beauties to give to Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong! This is just Zhang Juren, who is bent on facing the king, trying to test the position of Emperor Chongzhen.

There are many yamen suitable for walking in the south city of Tianjin, including the governor's yamen, the general soldier's yamen, the capital division's yamen, the Caoyun yamen, and the command yamen. These yamen are now under martial law, and the guards standing guard at the door are all brocade guards, so it is difficult to ask them anything.

Moreover, the big flagpoles outside the yamen were bare, and there were no flags at all. Therefore, it is not easy for outsiders to know where Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen live.

But this matter is difficult for the resourceful Zhang Juren, he asked people to buy seventeen or eighteen girls, and they are not any beauties, they are all Chai He girls who have fled the famine, wash them, get flower clothes and wear them, and then take them to a few yamen to try. It is said that it is ordered to present a show girl...... He estimated that Chongzhen's father and son came to the wilderness, and there must be no one around him, and it is always a good thing for someone to take the initiative to contribute. So use this excuse to tempt, and you are not afraid of being exposed. As a coincidence, he was the first to find the governor's yamen where Emperor Chongzhen lived.

"This, these are the beauties you offered?" Cao Huachun used the lantern to emit a dim light, squinted his eyes and looked at the dozen or so Chai He girls in front of him, none of which could be seen.

"Duke, you have to look at the dissatisfaction, the late life will go back and choose carefully, as long as you give the late life a few more days, you can always choose a stunning ......" Zhang Juren recognized Cao Huachun, Cao Huachun has been walking around in Tianjin for many years in Wang Qingtuo. Seeing his old man, Zhang Juren already knew in his heart that most of the emperor lived in the governor's yamen.

Cao Huachun heard Zhang Juren say this, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No need...... There is just a shortage of people to call, so let them all stay, you can be considered to have a heart. By the way, is there a meritorious reputation? ”

"Late in life, I was overdone."

"Oh, it's a filial piety." Cao Huachun nodded, "That's it, it's late tonight, you are here early tomorrow morning, our family will take you to face the saint, and there will always be an official body to give at that time." ”

Haha, the Dog Emperor is really in the Governor's Yamen!

Zhang Juren was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed to the ground, thanking the eunuch Cao for his promotion, and of course, a box full of silver was offered......
