Volume 10 Chapter 12 Prince Europe Returns with Honor
The news of the victory in Meridian Valley came back to the capital, and the entire capital was boiling, officials at all levels rushed to celebrate, and the people of the capital were even more colorful, as if the thieves had been exterminated. In their opinion, the leaders of the anti-thieves have been arrested, and the main force of the peasant army has also been completely annihilated.
Zhu Cijiong doesn't think so, Gao Yingxiang is called the leader of the anti-thieves, but he is actually not a powerful character among the anti-thieves, compared to Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and even Luo Rucai, who are escaping experts, he is more like a trickster, he has no sense of existence at all, at that time in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he also ran into the Meridian Valley by himself and was caught by Sun Chuanting, this time it is equivalent to repeating history, Zhu Cijiong feels that he is reading boring history books, without a sense of joy, Next, how to catch Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, the two slippery loaches, is the key, as for Gao Yingxiang, if you catch it, you can catch it, no more of him, no less of him.
However, now is not the time to do anything to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, because their 'mission' has not yet been completed, they have not yet conquered Luoyang and Xiangyang, and they have not yet killed the two biggest moths in the clan, so not only can they not do it immediately, but they also have to 'protect' them and prevent Sun Chuanting from running away to harm their good deeds.
Qin Jun is a group of hungry wolves, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are definitely not their opponents, if they are allowed to pounce, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are afraid that they will be beaten to the ground, and they will be raised in vain in the past few years!
How can Qin Jun stay in Shaanxi honestly? Zhu Cijiong racked his brains, and finally came up with a far-fetched reason, he directly ordered Sun Chuanting, to the effect that in order to prevent accidents, Gao Yingxiang and the main force of the thieves must be immediately escorted to Xi'an to be strictly guarded, and after the other thieves are eliminated, they will be escorted to the capital to deal with it together. In addition, this time, the Qin army made outstanding achievements, and the special advance was made to the first-class regiment, and the sun and moon were awarded the dragon flag, and the sun and moon were the same as the light, and Sun Chuanting was also promoted to the commander of the Zhengyi product to show his appreciation.
Sun Chuanting couldn't cry or laugh when he received this holy decree, what accident could happen to the more than 100,000 frightened peasants, confiscate their weapons, and send a few thousand more people to guard them, and they can still fly to the sky. There were 30,000 defenders in Xi'an alone, and it was more than enough to guard these prisoners, and the Qin army could completely free up their hands to break the other thieves one by one, so that the danger in the northwest would be solved, but the emperor asked him to stay and guard the prisoners!
Except for Gao Yingxiang, Sun Chuanting really can't see anyone else worthy of strict care, but the emperor's holy decree has been issued, and he can't say anything, he is loyal to the emperor, and the emperor asked him to stay and guard the prisoners, so stay and guard the prisoners.
Just as Zhu Cijiong was paying close attention to the news in the northwest and secretly scolding Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, two useless things, there was a sudden emergency report from the eastern camp that His Royal Highness the regent Zhu Youzhen had returned!
Zhu Cijiong is a surprise at the moment, happy that his royal batch folding work is finally back, he doesn't have to worry about the folding every day, the surprise is that the fifth uncle Zhu Youzhen is not as cold-blooded as him, people can still think of blood and family affection, I am afraid that the affairs in the northwest will not be able to drag on, if Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong can not succeed in the near future, he is afraid that he will not be able to do his best in the past few years.
Anyway, after all, it was his fifth uncle who came back, but Zhu Cijiong regarded him as his dearest relative, so he made an exception and ran to Chaoyang Gate in the capital to greet him.
Zhu Youzhen went to Europe this time to call a scene, he was received by King Philip IV of Spain, and the royal family members of the Habsburg Dynasty flocked to appreciate his royal highness the most powerful empire in the East, he experienced the dignity of being a prince for the first time, he experienced the luxurious life of the aristocratic circle for the first time, and he ...... for the first time.
The life of the Ming royal family can be said to be completely different from that of the European continent, the Ming Dynasty has always been the only overlord in the East, so the Ming royal family basically does not interact with the royal families of other small countries, coupled with the Ming Dynasty's feudal system, there is little intersection between the children of the royal family, it can be said that the royal family members are lonely, except for wives and concubines and children, even a few who are qualified to be friends with them can not be found, where is the interaction between the royal families of various countries on the European continent is as frequent as the neighbors, and the marriage is as frequent as drinking water and eating, It's a lively day!
In Europe, Zhu Youzhen has simply become the idol of the royal family members of various countries, the pomp is called a big ah, there are 2,000 palace maids and eunuchs who serve, and there are as many as 10,000 personal guards, and the outer guards are even more exaggerated, there are 50,000 people, and his guards alone can overturn a medium-sized country in Europe, which is simply an explosion.
And his car, the Prince Regent, which was simply a palace on the sea, and his wealth, and the expensive gifts were like straws in his eyes, and the gifts were all given away by a cart, and there were not many kings in the whole continent who were richer than him!
So he became a must-invite object for all kinds of aristocratic gatherings, what banquets, cocktail parties, and balls were full, and queens, princesses, and ladies of all countries were vying to throw flattering eyes at him, all wanting to kiss the noble prince's Fangze, but fortunately he was deeply educated by Confucian traditional ideology and kept the final bottom line, otherwise he was afraid that he would become relatives with the royal families of all European continents!
Of course, these are not the main things, Zhu Youzhen's main purpose this time is to sell the arms of the Ming Dynasty, he borrowed a piece of open land by the sea with the king of Spain according to Zhu Cijiong's plan, and then directly ordered the Praetorian Guards to build a small city on the open land, which amazed the royal families and nobles of the European continent, thinking that he was going to build a city just to garrison guards, but it turned out that it was not like that at all.
The Praetorian Guards did not live in it at all, but the city was lined with dense human-shaped wooden frames, and just when everyone did not know which play he was going to play, he invited all the nobles of all countries he could invite, including King Philip IV of Spain, to the viewing platform not far from the city, and each of them gave a military telescope of the latest type made by the Ming Dynasty.
Then, 50,000 Praetorian Guards rushed towards the city like a wave, and in an instant, bullets and cannonballs flew together, and all the human-shaped wooden frames on the city were shattered, and even the arrow stacks were flattened, and that was not the end, a hundred super battleships at sea, including his giant battleship Prince Regent, opened fire together, and the walls several meters thick were collapsed!
The effect was even more shocking than the effect of a Hollywood blockbuster, the king of Spain and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire immediately frantically threw out a dozen orders, strongly demanding to order Ming arms, flintlock guns, field guns, grenades, they all wanted, the king of Spain even wanted to buy a super battleship, and he even wanted to buy a treasure ship as a car!
Zhu Youzhen was just an advertising ambassador but not a salesman, so it was useless to talk to him, so he brought back more than a dozen negotiation delegations, all of which came to purchase arms, as well as gifts from nobles from various countries to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Empire and him, and also loaded several ships.
The most important thing is that there is also a princess with a noble status, only fourteen years old, who seems to have come on a blind date!
