"Thank you, Junmen!"

After being helped onto the horse, Zhang Jinsheng looked at Wang Dahu and couldn't wait for 300 personal soldiers, could this be the people of the Northern Expedition of the Military Gate?

Just when Zhang Jinsheng was puzzled, suddenly, among the soldiers over there, someone pulled his neck and asked loudly to the loyal officers and soldiers in front of the city gate:

"Brethren! Who led our brothers to defeat Jiangyin! ”

"It's a military gate!"

There was no doubt, after Zhang Xiaowu and the others shouted this sentence at the top of their throats, there was immediately a burst of cheers like a mountain.

"Who is it who travels hundreds of miles a day to capture Changzhou City!"

"It's a military gate!"

Thousands of officers and men of the Loyal Battalion replied in unison with enthusiasm.

"Who is in Tongjimen...... Took down the southern capital of our Ming Dynasty! ”

This time, even the people in the vicinity replied together with the nearly 5,000 soldiers of the Loyal Army:

"It's the military gate, it's the Zhu military gate!"

That's right!

From the formation of the Loyal and Righteous Army, until now, it has been Zhu Mingzhong who has led them all the way to the present, all the way from Jiangyin City to Nandu, and now, it has always been the military gate that led them, all the way from Jiangyin to here.

"Who is the leader who lives and dies ......with my brother?"

"It's the military gate! It's a military gate! It's a military gate ......"

Yu Xiaobao, who was among the soldiers, waved his fists desperately, he was about to shout hoarse, but he still shouted loudly in his mouth. Although he was born in the rear strength battalion, he is a personal follower of the military gate, and he has long been branded with the mark of the military gate.

"It's the military gate, it's the military gate, it's the military gate......"

Everyone's enthusiasm was aroused at this time, unlike any other army, although the loyal and righteous army has not been in army for a long time, but in that kind of specious semi-modern training, a kind of collective view that has never existed before has imperceptibly penetrated into their bodies, although they have not paid attention to it, but inadvertently, they have long become a whole, and Zhu Mingzhong is the head of this whole.

And now, of course, they can't betray their leader, maybe some will, but they, the vast majority of them won't, never will, betray the military gate with whom they live and die.

"Who was the first to cross the Yangtze River and follow the military gate to the northern expedition to clear the captives!"

"I, I, I ......"

First there was a burst of "I, I" and then a burst of excited shouts.

"Loyal Army, Loyal Army, Loyal Army......"

Everyone's enthusiasm was ignited, and at this time, everyone returned to their group again, for them, the Loyal Army was their home, each of them was a part of the Loyal Army, and they were willing to follow the military gate just because the military gate was their commander.

"Loyalty!"

"Northern Expedition!"

"Loyalty!"

"Northern Expedition!"

……

At this time, in addition to the officers and soldiers of the loyal and righteous army wearing red clothes, more people, who had never seen such a scene, shouted excitedly, cheering for this army that had captured the southern capital. As they shouted the two simple words.

"Loyalty!"

"Northern Expedition!"

"Loyalty!"

"Northern Expedition!"

The thunderous shouts echoed in front of the Tongji Gate, and at this moment, there was no longer any doubt, when Zhu Mingzhong rode forward, the soldiers who were originally standing in line on both sides of the city gate almost spontaneously lined up, and moved forward with their commanders, without asking anything else.

"What is loyalty?"

In the midst of this high morale, when passing through the urn city, he saw that there were constantly soldiers who were carrying spears and carrying luggage to join the army, and Zhu Mingzhong's heart was always a little proud when he breathed a sigh of relief.

Luckily, as originally assumed, as long as he shows up here, he can take at least half of the people with him! Now it seems that more than half of the people!

It can be said that the vast majority of the soldiers of the loyal army followed him and left!

Not because of anything else, but because of "loyalty"!

In this heaven and earth, what word can be greater than "loyalty"! Others can use him to oppress themselves. And here, too, these two words govern the actions of the soldiers.

Of course, this is also due to his own personality charm! It can be said that the efforts of this period of time were not in vain, at least these soldiers, at this time, made their choice.

"This, this...... He, he can't, can't do that......"

Seeing that there were soldiers joining the team and leaving Tongji Gate with Zhu Mingzhong, Li Ziyuan was almost dumbfounded, and he muttered in his mouth.

"Quick, stop them all......"

"Stop, can't stop......"

Sun Xingping, who was full of bitterness, said on the side, now, he even regrets it, why do you believe in Li Ziyuan, now...... Without soldiers, they are nothing...... If there are no soldiers, who the hell will count them as a person!

"Let's go, let them go......"

Suddenly, Li Ziyuan said fiercely.

"As long as our brothers are in a group, what does it matter if all these soldiers are gone? How to train the surnamed Zhu, you and I don't know, in less than two months, we will be able to train another elite soldier......"

If it weren't for the extreme despair, Li Ziyuan would never have said this, looking at the soldiers who kept leaving, and even many soldiers were injured, helping each other to leave the barracks, he knew that he couldn't take this loyal army.

Since there is no way out, there is no need to think about any way out.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qian is Li's mentor, with him, our brothers will not worry about glory and wealth, as for the ...... surnamed Zhu"

Sneering, Li Ziyuan cheered for himself and everyone.

"Even if you go to Jiangbei, how can you stand on your feet! When I arrived in Jiangbei, I didn't go to die! ”

As he spoke, he listened to the sound of horses' hooves from behind, and before he could see the man on the horse, five or six horsemen passed in front of him, and only then did he see the man on the horse.

It was Zhang Huangyan, the squire of the military department, and he was also his immediate boss in the future, he wanted to go up and talk to him, but the other party didn't pay attention to him at all, and didn't even look at him, but chased straight towards Zhu Mingzhong.

"Chengren!"

Zhang Huangyan, who finally chased after him, stopped Zhu Mingzhong, he didn't even glance at the loyal officers and soldiers who were "bewitched" by him to leave Nanjing. Except for Zhu Mingzhong, no one can leave these soldiers!

Even when he knew that Zhu Mingzhong was leaving from Tongji Gate, he vaguely guessed the other party's intentions. He trained these soldiers single-handedly, and it was just a gesture to take them away.

"Ming Zhong has seen Shao Sima!"

Zhu Mingzhong did not dismount, although he knew that Zhang Huangyan had no malicious intentions, but at this time, he was not willing to dismount to salute.

"Chengren, you must know that the old man has no intention of taking your soldiers!"

Zhang Huangyan explained,

"Shao Sima is a human being, can Ming Zhongyan believe it? Just ......"

Looking back at the towering Nanjing city wall, Zhu Mingzhong sighed.

"This Nanjing is a place of right and wrong, and it is not what Mingzhong can do well. In Mingzhong's view, Shao Sima is also the best policy to leave as soon as possible! ”

"Ming Zhong, why are you like this, the general has an upright temperament, don't you know?"

"It is precisely because of the general's upright temperament that he is confused by others!"

What is a traitor?

Zhu Mingzhong didn't know whether he was a traitor now, but one thing is for sure, although the forces of all parties respected Yongli before, it was to avoid the dispersion of the anti-Qing forces, fighting their own battles, and conflicting with each other, but with the recovery of Nanjing, with the change of the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, the future ...... No one knows where it will go.

"Young Sima, although Li Ziyuan is ambitious, he can be regarded as brave, and Shao Sima needs such a brave general for this expedition to the west......"

Although Li Ziyuan betrayed himself, Zhu Mingzhong did not fall into the trap, but generously recommended him to Zhang Huangyan. In fact, the reason why this is the case is not because he is generous, but because he must show his generosity, after all, he knows very well that Zhang Huangyan needs subordinates like Li Ziyuan, and the more generous he is at this time, the more he shows the inferiority of the other party's character!

No contrast, no harm!

Of course, there is another reason that Zhang Huangyan really needs a strong general like Li Ziyuan, Li Ziyuan may have betrayed himself, but ...... At least in the past ten years, he has had countless opportunities to surrender to the Qing, but he has not surrendered, and now the biggest enemy is the Manchu Qing!

“…… After Shao Sima arrived in Jiangxi, please make plans early, after all, the future of the Ming Dynasty is by no means limited to the Nanjing court......"

Seems to care, but it is just the shadow left by Zhu Mingzhong in Zhang Huangyan's heart, after this incident, he thought a lot, at least before Yongli returned to Nanjing in the future, the only one in Jiangnan who could contain Zheng Chenggong, to be precise, those civil and military generals under Zheng Chenggong, only Zhang Huangyan was alone. And the stronger Zhang Huangyan's power, for Zhu Mingzhong, there will only be benefits, not the slightest harm!

At the very least, we need to get rid of this contradiction...... When everyone stares at Zhang Huangyan, they will naturally ignore their own side selectively or unintentionally, and even, there will be a chance for the fisherman to make a profit!

"Chengren ......"

Looking at Zhu Mingzhong, opening his mouth, Zhang Huangyan didn't know that the situation in Nanjing was changing now, and he was a little heavy, so he nodded slightly, and then asked.

"So what do you do next?"

Looking at the soldiers who left with him, many of them were wounded, Zhang Huangyan couldn't help but worry about his future.

Jiangbei, is it really that easy to win?

With less than 4,000 remnants!

Facing Zhang Huangyan's question, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly burst out laughing, and then he turned around and asked the soldiers who were hurrying.

"Brothers, where are we going?"

"Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition!"

"Northern Expedition!" ……

The shouts of thousands of people rose higher and higher. In their shouts, Zhu Mingzhong said to Zhang Huangyan in high spirits.

"Young Sima, when he recovers in Beijing, you and I will meet in Beijing again, and comfort the ......emperor in the coal mountain."

When the words fell, Zhu Mingzhong grabbed the horse's belly, and then took the lead to the north, behind him, the loyal and righteous army of the brigade took firm steps, followed closely behind Zhu Mingzhong and walked towards the north......
