"See the military gate!"

When Zhu Mingzhong returned to the mansion, Zhu Zhiyu, Zhu Daxian and his son, Yu Shujie, Shi Lei, Xu Youzheng and other cronies and staff were all standing in front of the mansion. Almost as soon as he was born, everyone waved their hands and bowed.

Looking at the military gate with a pale face and no expression at all, even Zhu Zhiyu, who was his master, would also feel uncomfortable.

The news spreads fast!

Before the military gate returned, the news that the Nanjing Loyal and Righteous Army was led by Li Ziyuan into the Western Expeditionary Army under Zhang Cangshui had already come, and what was even more shocking was probably the dispatch of the military gate - Jiangbei pacification envoy.

was deprived of military power, but was detained for such a mission. How not to be surprised.

How can Jiangbei be appeased without soldiers and soldiers?

How is the so-called pacification different from the Northern Expedition?

"Everybody knows?"

got off the horse, looked at the people in front of the house, and saw that everyone's faces were full of indignation, Zhu Mingzhong asked directly.

"Mingzhong ......"

As soon as the words sank, Zhu Zhiyu said with relief.

"It's good to leave Nanjing for a while, it's good to leave Nanjing......"

Once upon a time, although he didn't have much confidence in the Zheng family, he never thought that his disciples would suffer such treatment after their repeated miraculous achievements.

"That is, Junmen, when you arrive in Jiangyin, when you give you a month, you will be able to train another loyal army!"

Yu Shujie shouted indignantly.

"That's it, the military gate, even if those miscellaneous people take the battalion, what's the matter, as long as the military gate is there, this loyal army is there!"

Wang Dahu's eyes were red, when he left the palace before, if it hadn't been for the military gate to stop him, I am afraid that he would have rushed into the camp and cut Li Ziyuan's house with a knife.

In his opinion, it was that ungrateful thing that colluded with outsiders to seize the general's military power! If you take the Loyal Battalion, as long as you cut off the head of the dog, the Loyal Battalion will naturally take it back.

was stopped by Zhu Mingzhong. As the captain of the pro-soldiers, he looked at the appearance of the military gate, and the anger that had been pressing in his heart naturally exploded.

"Junmen, damn it, I'll go to the camp now to greet the brothers, I don't believe it yet, they are all willing to leave the wolf-hearted thing! If they dare to follow, I'll slash that dog thing with one slash! ”

"Big Tiger!"

With a cold snort, Zhu Mingzhong reprimanded loudly.

"How does Zhu usually teach you, military law is like a mountain, and how can I tolerate you nonsense!"

Wang Dahu, who only felt wronged by the military gate, was reprimanded like this, and his eyes were sour, and his eyes almost flowed out.

"Military Gate ......"

Before he could say that, the seven-foot-tall tower-like man cried aggrievedly.

"Junmen, you, why do you want to be so bullied......"

In his opinion, the military gate was blocked because of being bullied by others, and the reason why he was bullied was because the military gate was too tolerant.

"Fourteen years ago, if it weren't for the constant internal entanglement of the high-ranking people in the Hongguang Dynasty, how could the Qing prisoners cross the river? The land south of the Yangtze River has become red again? How could tens of millions of people be slaughtered, although Zhu is young, he also knows that he can't be hurt by his relatives and his enemies, as long as he Li Ziyuan can not hope for his original intention, lead my loyal and righteous brothers to kill and capture, and rejuvenate my Ming, this loyal and righteous army will be under his command, so what's the matter! ”

Looking at the people in the hall, Zhu Mingzhong said awe-inspiringly, his words only made Zhu Zhiyu, Zhu Daxian, Yu Shujie and others, who were originally indignant about him, all of them hot on their faces, and their hearts were even more agitated, even Zhu Zhiyu, who was his master, waved his hands.

"The righteousness of the military gate is like this, it really makes us ashamed!"

"Teacher, why should the student be a great gift to the teacher!"

Hurriedly supporting Zhu Zhiyu, Zhu Mingzhong looked at him and said. And Zhu Zhiyu shook his head and said.

"The difference between the military gate, although the military gate worships the old man, but this is private, public, and the old man is the staff under the command of the military gate, how can he abolish the ceremony?"

If it weren't for the sincerity that Zhu Mingzhong has always shown, coupled with the righteous and awe-inspiring words before, maybe Zhu Zhiyu would not have made up his mind at all and joined the shogunate, and now after he said this, it undoubtedly means that from now on, his identity is not only Zhu Mingzhong's master, but also a member of his staff.

"Teacher!"

Zhu Zhiyu's move to enter the shogunate made Zhu Mingzhong feel it and bow deeply.

"The student originally wanted to ask for an article in front of the teacher, but he never thought that he would be sent this today, but the military order is like a mountain, and the student must go to Jiangbei today, the land of Jiangbei is based on the Qing Dynasty, and the environment is naturally very sinister, and the student does not dare to let the teacher risk himself, and please forgive the teacher!"

"Chengren, are you going to Jiangbei today?"

Originally, Zhu Zhiyu thought that he would definitely go back to Jiangyin first, and only after the loyal soldiers left behind in Jiangyin would he cross the Jiangbei expedition again, but he never thought that he would go to Jiangbei today.

"Junmen, this matter must not be, now except for hundreds of guards in the house, there is no soldier under the command of Junmen, how can he cross the river and go on the Northern Expedition?"

"Long nights and dreams!"

Facing their opposition, Zhu Mingzhong sneered.

"If you delay any longer, I don't know what else will happen, Nanjing, a place of right and wrong, is better to leave as soon as possible......

At this time, Zhu Mingzhong only had a deep sense of powerlessness, he had never underestimated the ancients, but he never thought that the first confrontation with the ancients would be defeated like this, and the defeat was so miserable that even the capital of the start-up was lost.

Qian Qianyi, Feng Chengshi...... Reading these names in his heart, Zhu Mingzhong silently wrote down these names, this time he failed miserably, he had already understood a truth, when he was not as strong as others, he either acted with his tail between his legs, or avoided it. Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers in the end!

Don't think that with the knowledge in your head that is hundreds of years ahead, you will underestimate the ancients. Politically, the ancients could also play you to death! Unless you can have absolute power!

"What the military gate said is very true, at present, Nanjing, a place of right and wrong, it is better to leave as soon as possible, but the military gate has no soldiers and no soldiers, so it crosses the river and goes north like this, how can it go north? In the old man's opinion, it is best for the military gate to go to Jiangyin first, and then cross the river to the north after joining the rear camp."

Again, Zhu Zhiyu said persuasively. He also saw that Nanjing was in danger, so he naturally agreed that Zhu Mingzhong should leave Nanjing immediately, so as not to be envied by others, but he didn't want to see this proud protégé, because of impulse, he crossed the river to the north alone, it was not the Northern Expedition, but crossing the river to die!

"The teacher doesn't need to persuade anymore, the students know the measure!"

Looking at Zhu Zhiyu, Zhu Mingzhong explained again.

"If the student left Nanjing and went to Jiangyin, it was as people wished, in case of any change, the student was powerless to resist, only today's plan, only by jumping out of the south of the Yangtze River, can we have to protect ourselves, this Jiangbei, students are afraid that they have to go today!"

Gotta go!

Nanjing's defeat made Zhu Zhongmingzhong realize that Nanjing could no longer stay, and no matter what, he had to leave here.

But even if you want to leave Nanjing, you can't just leave Nanjing.

"Yushan, you go and tell Dai Cang, tell him, let him try his best to recruit craftsmen in Nanjing, whether it is Changzhou or Jiangbei in the future, it is inseparable from craftsmen, especially the craftsmen who make birds, no matter what, a group must be recruited."

When he met Dai Cang in prison, Zhu Mingzhong never thought that this person was actually proficient in all kinds of machinery, and he was quite proficient in bird guns and cannon casting, and even before the city of Nanjing was broken, he was also ordered to cast a batch of cannons for city defense.

After Dai Cang was released from prison, he went directly to himself, of course Zhu Mingzhong would not miss such a talent, and now, since he is leaving Nanjing. Then, the recruitment of craftsmen, which was already included in the plan, had to be advanced.

As the southern capital. In the past, there were a large number of craftsmen in Nanjing, although now those craftsmen have long since become free. However, they still stayed in Nanjing, and among these craftsmen, there were many experts in making bird guns, and they were all needed by Zhu Mingzhong.

And for those craftsmen, no one by Zhu Mingzhong's side knows better than Dai Cang. After all, he himself worked in the engineering department of the Governor's Palace, and often dealt with those craftsmen. It would be fitting to put him in charge of this.

For Zhu Mingzhong, now when he is watching others sharpen their knives against him, in addition to wanting to leave here, he also has a thought in his heart, which is to try to do what he should do one by one.

After some other advice. Zhu Mingzhong looked at the people in front of him and smiled.

"Actually, it's nothing, didn't we think about it from the beginning, leaving Nanjing and crossing the Northern Expedition across the river, wouldn't it be better now?"

But at first I thought about it, but it wasn't like now. As a bare-bones commander like now, he led hundreds of personal soldiers across the river to the Northern Expedition.

"Junmen, if the Junmen is bent on crossing the river, you might as well order someone to notify the troops over there in Changzhou to leave the camp, and then do the Northern Expedition after joining the Junmen, which is more appropriate."

Faced with the dissuasion of others, Zhu Mingzhong just smiled and shook his head at the same time.

"Don't wait for me!"

After such an exclamation, Zhu Mingzhong said directly to Wang Dahu.

"Have you gathered your brothers?"

"Junmen, the brothers are waiting for you outside the door."

Walking out of the mansion gate, Zhu Mingzhong saw nearly 300 brothers standing outside the door, all of them were his own soldiers, and they had all fought with him on the battlefield against the Qing army.

"The brothers already know."

Seeing that the brothers were all indignant, Zhu Mingzhong said in a deep voice.

"Today, I will lead the brothers across the river to the north, yes, only you, if any brother does not want to cross the river, he can stay!"

When those pro-soldiers heard this, they all knelt down on one knee and said in unison,

"I'll follow the military gate to the death."

Although he had his special military salute in the Loyal Army, at this time, they still wanted to express their determination in this way.

"Good!"

Nodding suddenly, Zhu Mingzhong pulled the reins of the horse and said loudly.

"You are all good brothers of Zhu, go! Accompany me across the river and the Northern Expedition. ”
