As the southern capital of the Ming Dynasty, there are many mansions in Nanjing, although most of the capitals were surrendered to the Qing army fourteen years ago, but the Qing court then abolished the titles of all the Ming Dynasty lords, and these so-called lords were deprived of all their family property by the Qing army and degraded to commoners. Although the southern capital has now been restored, these lords who were deprived of their family property and were impoverished and devastated did not claim their real estate, and these mansions confiscated by the Manchu dynasty became the residences of the Zheng generals.

As the first contributor to breaking the city, Zhu Mingzhong also got a mansion, which once belonged to the palace of the British duke, only more than a mile away from the barracks of Tongjimen, although this palace has been in disrepair for many years, but the scenery in the palace that has been carefully built for hundreds of years is extremely elegant, in Zhu Mingzhong's view, it is one of the so-called four major gardens in later generations, the Humble Administrator's Garden can not be compared with it, the palace covers an area of 100 acres, the spring water in the palace is a group, it is completely centered on water, the mountains and rivers linger, the hall is exquisite, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, and the British princesses and descendants of the past two hundred years, All of them are here, the flowers and trees are covered by the waterside, and the buildings and palaces enjoy the wealth of the world.

Decades ago, the lords who enjoyed all the wealth in the world would never have thought that one day they would be expelled from the state mansion and the whole family would be impoverished. How could he have imagined that the owner of this state would also change?

The wealth of the world is just a passing moment!

Although there was some sighing in his heart, but in the middle of the towers and palaces, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, Zhu Mingzhong looked thoughtful, his brows were tightly locked, and Zhu Daxian, Yu Shujie, Shi Lei and others sat there quietly, all with a dignified appearance.

Li Ziyuan, Zhang Jinsheng......

Remembering these two names in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong only felt that he was congested for a while, and he still didn't understand people's hearts!

Popularity!

The human heart is unpredictable!

It is easy to share hardships and hardships, and it is difficult to share wealth and wealth!

Now, although they have not seen wealth, the two of them have more or less different intentions. And they are still their right-hand men. They are the main generals in the army, but now they have betrayed themselves.

"Now, all this is just speculation!"

Looking back, Zhu Mingzhong looked at them and smiled bitterly,

"The reason why Jin Sheng didn't stop me was that he was worried about my safety, and he wanted to borrow the hands of the soldiers to force the general to release him......

Zhu Mingzhong himself didn't believe this sentence, because he knew Zheng Chenggong's temper very well, his temper was very impulsive, and he didn't know what kind of things he would do when he was impulsive.

As for Li Ziyuan, what is his obstruction?

What was his intention?

Although his obstruction saved the loyal army and his head, I am afraid that he has different ambitions......

One of the most fundamental reasons why I say this is that Zhu Mingzhong knows very well that the morale of the army cannot be chaotic now!

"Junmen, if this is the case, things are simple, but although they came to visit the military gate when they returned home, they all rushed to visit the military gate, but their different intentions have come out, and they have been in contact with their good cronies these days, if they don't deal with it as soon as possible, they are afraid that they will have a long night and a lot ......of dreams."

Looking at Zhu Mingzhong, although he is his senior brother, Zhu Daxian still calls him a military gate like others at this time, after all, his role in the loyal army is to join the army.

"Junmen, I have been staying in the camp for observation in the past few days, this is the list of banquets and secret invitations for the two of them in the past few days......"

Shi Lei, who had been silent, was silent after handing out the list, as a former Jinyi guard, this is just his business, although it has been abandoned for many years, it is easy to pick it up.

"This ......"

took the list and looked at it, looking at the familiar names on it, Zhu Mingzhong's brows furrowed, these people are all brothers in the stamina camp without exception, and now they are ......

O human heart!

"Junmen, the children of Jiangyin will never be confused by it. For the future of the loyal and righteous army, please make up your mind as soon as possible! ”

Yu Shujie's words made Zhu Mingzhong ponder for a moment, and then shook his head and said.

"The morale of the army cannot be messed up!"

In Zhu Mingzhong's view, the most important thing now is the military spirit. Without waiting for them to speak, he stretched out his hand to stop them.

"It's easy to solve this matter, recruit them into the mansion today, set up a knife and axe, and you can kill the two of them, but ......"

Looking at the three people in the hall, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically/

"Killing may be the easiest way, but it doesn't solve the problem, but it will further exacerbate the problem, kill the two of them, what about the brothers in the other battalions in the army? The roster ......"

Shaking the roster, which included almost all the left and right flanks of the rear battalion and the middle and junior officers of the Chinese army, Zhu Mingzhong asked rhetorically.

"How many of these people are of their own use, and how many of them are unwilling to follow the two of them? And how did you ever know? Killing the two of them, if it causes the army to panic, what should it do? ”

"Junmen, at this critical time, you can act decisively and kill the leader, as for the others, you can make an example, so that the army's heart can be determined!"

Yu Shujie's answer is obviously the easiest way to deal with the problem.

"Hmph, if not, take this roster and draw ten kills, so good?"

Throwing the roster on the table, Zhu Mingzhong's brows locked.

"Now, the most important thing is the spirit of the army, what does my loyal army rely on? Relying on the concentricity of 10,000 people, if the army's morale is messy, if the Qing army does not wait for the Qing army to go south, this loyal army will be dispersed! ”

With a long sigh, Zhu Mingzhong said helplessly.

"You look at this Guogong Mansion, Zhu Mou is just an inch of merit, and he will be rewarded with the Guogong Mansion, so it seems to be rich and noble, but the surname of the country is under the command of the master, all of them have lived in this kind of Guogong Mansion, I heard that this also caused the generals to be unhappy, because they feel that their mansion is small, and now the big enemy is the present, the so-called General Annan led 100,000 troops, and is heading south along the Grand Canal, and the chief is even more in Nanyuan, and he will lead 200,000 elite soldiers of the Eight Banners Green Battalion to recruit in person, and we are ......"

Looking left and right, Zhu Mingzhong, who only felt depressed, asked rhetorically.

"What are I doing? The fight for the house, the fight for the seat, even in my loyal army, is the same! In this way, how can we prosper the Ming Dynasty and restore my rivers and mountains! ”

Zhu Mingzhong's heartbroken appearance made Zhu Daxian, Yu Shujie and Shi Lei all stunned, and at this moment, a voice came from outside the hall.

"But if the left and right commanders have different ambitions, how can they kill the enemy with confidence even if they are on the battlefield in the future?"

It was Zhu Mingzhong's teacher who walked in, Zhu Zhiyu, who was dressed in a green cloth robe, crossed the threshold, and as soon as he came to the house from Changzhou, he rushed to this hall, and happened to hear his words, so he looked at Zhu Mingzhong and asked rhetorically.

"If the military gate is torn apart by the enemy, the left and right commanders, do not enter the battle, and do not obey the order, how should Ming Zhong deal with it at that time?"
