Zhu Yujian has indeed said that.

Although he will indeed do his best to protect Zhu Cihong, don't expect him to join the ranks of Yang for this reason......

He protected Zhu Cihong just dutifully.

His duty was to protect Zhu Cihong to reach Nanjing safely, which was also the task given to him by Yang Qing, whether it was attacked by others or by people within the Ming army, he would block it, but after fulfilling his duties, he withdrew from this struggle. Even if Zhu Cihong succeeds in seizing the throne, it is impossible for him, the vassal king of the clan, to really enter the political core, and it is impossible for those people in Donglin to tolerate a vassal king entering the imperial court......

Maybe I'll want to deal with him.

As for Zhu Cihong's failure to seize the throne, he will not be implicated.

Even if Yang Qing usurped the throne, what would be the big deal?

With the princess here, the clan will not be really implicated, and now the clan has no money, he is nothing more than 100,000 mu of fiefdom, and half of the land has not been completed so far, but these 100,000 mu have to feed the big gang of the Tang Domain, saying that it is the fief of the vassal king, but in fact it is a big Zhuangzi who does not pay taxes.

The people have to go to the land and farm their own fields!

It is said that it is a clan, and there are various titles on the top of the head, but in fact it is just a group of homesteaders.

100,000 acres does sound like a lot!

But there are still more than 1,000 men, women, and children alive in the Tang Domain, and 40,000 acres of abandoned land have been restored, that is to say, 30 mu per capita, plus dependent slaves and relatives who have fled, the actual per capita is less than 20 mu. The other feudal domains are basically the same, the earlier the feudal domain multiplies, the less land per capita can get, but the life of King Fu is the most comfortable for the first two generations, so several feudal domains with large populations are worried about his stepchildren. Some simply choose to do business or even join the army, for example, several junior officers under Zhu Yujian are clan members, and there is even a lieutenant Fengguo who is actually an ordinary musketeer.

It's all on this, why do you need to worry about the cleaning of the new dynasty!

The princess's face is still there!

Killing pigs?

Are we still pigs?

Dutch pigs?

In short, he has done his duty!

In the afternoon of the same day, they waited for the follow-up Japanese cavalry in Wuguan, and then continued forward to Shangnan under the protection of a cavalry battalion, and by this time they had entered the territory of Jin Shenghuan, and the dividing line between the latter and Li Zicheng was Wuguan. Jin Shenghuan also sent two thousand cavalry to meet him, he was more afraid than anyone else that the emperor would have an accident on his territory, he had to be careful if he made a living by selling cuteness, once the emperor had an accident on his territory, then Yang Qing designated a large army to come to Xiangyang to ask for the guilt. Xiangyang City is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong it is, it can't withstand the invincible general cannon, if Huang Degong attacked Xiangyang last time, if it wasn't for Tian Jianxiu's backstabbing in the back, he would have been bombarded into scum by Lao Huang.

Under the tight protection of the Japanese cavalry and the cavalry of Jin Shenghuan's troops, Zhu Cihong made a public appearance and shattered rumors that he had been attacked.

That's a rumor.

Nothing at all!

The emperor was just in a hurry to go to Nanjing, so he ran faster and was out of touch with the follow-up escort team, so he needed to wait in Shangnan, and finally he waited for a day and finally waited for the Japanese slave infantry behind him, as well as those ministers who accompanied him. However, the guard's Gan Hui department had not yet arrived, and the emperor did not wait, he continued to move forward and reached the inner countryside under the protection of the Japanese slaves and Jin Shenghuan's department.

Jin Shenghuan himself commanded an army of 10,000 to meet here.

Then immediately after that, Lao Jin also got the title of Duke of Dengguo, and it was obvious that Long Xingtianzi was very satisfied with his performance.

At this time, Gan Hui caught up with the car.

But then he did not have a chance to make a move, with the Japanese slaves as the core, with the Jin Shenghuan infantry as the periphery of the Emperor His Majesty marched in formation, they were arranged to continue to be the guard in the back, and finally went south to Xiangyang in this way, crossed the Han River in the welcome of the people of Xiangyang, and His Majesty the Emperor entered Xiangyang to rest, but then an accident happened......

"The Emperor is sick?"

Gan Hui said in amazement.

They were arranged to be stationed in Fancheng, not to mention being close to the emperor, and even the Han River was not allowed, but fortunately, Jin Shenghuan was a cute person who made a living, and he served them very thoughtfully, and even organized a prostitute group to come over to comfort the Ming army. Anyway, there is nothing to do with himself, Gan Hui simply let his subordinates go to Sahuan, there can be no danger here, and it will only take a day to reach the area controlled by the Ming army by boat. However, the news that the emperor suddenly fell ill still surprised him, and after being shaken twice in a row, Gan Hui and Yang Xin no longer dared to underestimate the emperor and his ministers.

"Sick, scared, aren't you?"

Yang Xin sneered.

"If you're afraid, go back, no one will force him to move on, no matter if he's really sick or scared, he must not be allowed to live in Yicheng again."

Gan Hui said hatefully.

"Send someone to Xingdu immediately, first contact Jiao Wenyu, let him arrange someone to prepare, and wait for the emperor's fleet to cross Lumen Mountain, and then sink ships on the Han River to block the channel, arrange a few more, it is best to make a collision ship on the river, the boats are all loaded with sand, first block the emperor in Yicheng, and then set fire to the ship directly for him at night."

Yang Xin said.

Yicheng is the border of the area controlled by Jin Shenghuan, and on the other side is the Ming army stationed in Xingdu.

It is not difficult for shipwrecks on the Han River to block the channel, Yicheng is already shallow down, find a place with a lot of sand and sink two or three ships into the channel, basically it can be blocked, it is full of sand, at least for a few days do not want to resume navigation. The Ming army used special giant bombs to deal with this kind of shoal, and then sank underwater and blasted directly, but Jin Shenghuan definitely didn't have this. As long as Zhu Cihong's fleet is blocked in this kind of unapproaching river, it is much easier to kill him, if he leaves the boat, he will snipe on land, and if he hides in the boat, he will dive over in the middle of the night and throw Molotov cocktails.

Gan Hui doesn't have this in his hands.

But Jiao Wenyu's ministry stationed in Xingdu must have it.

In fact, it is gasoline, Yang Qing uses Sichuan oil as raw material, through the refinery kettle fraction, but there is no further processing, so the product has a serious foul smell and cannot be used as lamp oil, and it is necessary to continue to process a large amount of sulfuric acid to make lamp oil, Yang Qing has not yet had a real industrialization of sulfuric acid, but the Molotov cocktail used as a defense of the city is enough.

The fortresses of the Ming army have already begun to be equipped.

Jiao Wenyu was the envoy of Xingdu Town, with an infantry brigade and four nearby militia brigades, and the general soldiers of the Ming army who died in Zhoushan in the original history.

"We must not miss again this time!"

Gan Hui gritted his teeth and said.

This time, if he misses again, he will enter the area controlled by the Ming army, so that even if he kills the emperor, he will tell others that Yang Qing killed the king, and there is an essential difference between Zhu Cihong's death in the north of Yicheng and his death in the south. Even if these army generals want to put Yang Qing on the throne, they also know that this kind of thing has to go through a routine, the emperor died in the area controlled by Jin Shenghuan, it was not Jin Shenghuan who did it, he did it. Then the army of the Duke of Chu rebelled and avenged the emperor Jin Shenghuan, but the emperor left three brothers with Li Zicheng, we can no longer let Li Zicheng blackmail, and Jin Shenghuan is theoretically Li Zicheng's subordinate, so it is possible that Li Zicheng was the mastermind of killing the king.

In this way, the emperor has no heir, and then the Jiangnan military and people jointly promoted the Duke of Chu to the throne and become the emperor.

It's a routine.

But what if the emperor died in the area controlled by the Ming army?

Then you can't play, although you can still nominate the Duke of Chu to the throne, after all, it's not as good as this, and the face still has to be maintained.

Just when they were plotting to intercept and kill Zhu Cihong, in the emperor's palace that was originally used as the Xiangwang Mansion, Shui Tailiang and others were waiting outside the door of the dormitory with an anxious face, looking at Lu Liuliang who walked out of it with expectant eyes, and the latter carefully closed the door......

"How is Your Majesty?"

The water was too cold and hurriedly asked.

Lu Liuliang looked at Zhu Yujian, who was also standing outside the door, and then waved his hand, and then he walked straight forward, Shui Tailiang and a group of Wenchen hurriedly followed him. Zhu Yujian did not mix, and continued to stay in front of the door with Mu Tianbo, Lu Liuliang and the others walked out of the courtyard all the time, walked to the room where he lived, and then watched everyone enter the door and then closed the door.

"Pretending to be sick!"

He said very dryly.

A group of Wenchen were all dumbfounded.

"Pretending, pretending to be sick? Why feign illness? ”

Ding Kuichu was stunned.

No one answered him, isn't that obvious!

It must have been scared.

"This, how can this be born?"

Wang Yingxiong said with a dumbfounded attitude.

"King Tang said a lot to His Majesty before, saying that His Majesty is the Ming Dynasty, the best thing is to turn back, and it is best to turn back for the people of the world, Your Majesty's mood has not been high in the past few days, and it is obvious that the previous ambush still scared him. Now even King Tang said so, of course, he was even more suspicious, and being able to come here was pushed by the situation, but after entering Xiangyang, the original spirit was completely discharged. ”

Lu Liuliang said.

"King Tang is also confused!"

The water was too cold and said hatefully.

"I'm going to see the driver!"

He went on to say.

"Yes, how can this be done, the loyal and righteous people in the world have done so much for Yingjia, how can he be so childish? If he doesn't leave, he won't leave, how does he face those loyal people? We must go down, we must let Your Majesty go to Nandu! ”

Ding Kuichu said indignantly.

Well, how much did we spend on this trip?

If you don't leave, you won't leave!

Are you worthy of the money we spent?

This kind of major event in the world, how can you allow such a child's play, you are here, but you don't leave, it's already a moment after the door, but you have withered, how can this be, you have to leave if you don't go now! Then a group of civil servants flocked to the dormitory with righteous indignation, but Lu Liuliang did not follow, as well as Mao Qiling and Zhu Zhiyu. Since the emperor is pretending to be sick, what is the use of persuasion? Do you want to point at him and ask the emperor, are you scared and pretending to be sick? Besides, as long as he lies in bed and can't get up, can he still be forcibly put up and stuffed into the boat?

"Is there irretrievable intentions?"

Mao Qiling looked at Lu Liuliang and said.

"It's very difficult, if I could get it back, I would have persuaded him a long time ago, and Your Majesty is afraid that he has made up his mind, unless we can let him see the real hope."

Lu Liuliang said.

Mao Qiling's face was gloomy.

If there is hope, they don't have to get the emperor, it's because there is no other way to get this gun, and now the emperor wants real hope, how do they give it to him, where do they go to find real hope. But the problem is that their money has already been paid, this is not tens of thousands of taels, the gentry and forces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and all parties have spent tens of millions of dollars for the emperor to return the capital to Nanjing, and it is impossible to waste it like this!

You're so unkind, we've spent money!

Why did you go earlier?

You've all come here, and there's only one last journey left for you to play this!

You're playing with us!

"Sometimes I wonder, is it right for us to do this? Is it necessary for us to fight like this with Yang Qing? Why did Xia Cungu respect Yang Qing instead? You and I both know his temperament, and I will never be in the same league as traitors! There are also a few people who are not inclined to the flames, Chen Dazhu, Xia Yugong, and Xu Fuzhai are all generous and heroic, why can they get along with Yang Qing in harmony? Is it right or wrong for us to fight like this? ”

Zhu Zhiyu said faintly.

"Even Brother Shunshui is scared?"

Mao Qiling sneered.

"It's not enough to be afraid, even if you turn your face and think that Yang Qing's personality is at most to exile me to a desert island, but while watching the prosperous world he has created and enjoying the stability and wealth he brings, but at the same time scolding him and trying to fight with him in every possible way, this is a bit messy after all. Look at Jiangnan under his rule, look at Beizhi under Dolgon, and look at Guanzhong under Li Zicheng, what we have worked tirelessly for is actually the most erosive of the three. ”

Zhu Zhiyu sighed.

He had infiltrated Hebei before.

In fact, it is not an infiltration, after meeting Chen Mingxia at Yanmen Pass, he went to the northern capital at his invitation, but in the nature of a private visit, he did not see Dorgon. Although Dolgon really wanted to invite him, he only met Ning Wan and me by chance at Chen Mingxia's house, who had become Dolgon's number one confidant after Fan Wencheng's death.

But I didn't go into details.

But this trip was still enough for him to see the suffering in various parts of Beizhili.

That's a lot of suffering!

Although he can't say that he is worried about the country and the people, at least the basic good and evil can be distinguished, if Yang Qing created a prosperous era by suppressing the gentry, then Dolgon connived at the gentry to create a hell. And everything they wanted with Yang Qingdou was exactly what Dolgon gave to the northern gentry, and then the result was a beast cannibalism, even from the perspective of a gentry, he would rather enjoy peace in Jiangnan, so are they right or those old friends who choose to cooperate with Yang Qing?

He believed in the character of these people.

These people are not inclined to the flames, they can defend the road to the death, whether it is Chen Zilong or Xia Yunyi, they can be called heroes, so why did they choose to cooperate with Yang Qing? Do they see it or are they too stubborn?

"I don't care about anything else, whoever wants to divide my land will fight him to the end!"

Mao Qiling sneered.

Then he walked out by himself, but he didn't go far when he saw Ding Kuichu with a gloomy face coming from the dormitory, and Mao Qiling greeted him and exchanged glances. Ding Kuichu shook his head and signaled that persuasion had no result, and Mao Qiling did not continue to move forward, he waited for Ding Kuichu to come to his side......

"Light Sangong, we may need a little extraordinary means!"

Mao Qiling said.

"I really can't let his temperament be!"

Ding Kuichu nodded and said.
