Chapter 361: Ambition to Go South
In November of the tenth year of Chongzhen, the pirates attacked the cities all over the country, the Shandong army was stationed at the checkpoint and so on, the pirates had already entered the city, the families around the country resisted bravely, Wang Yan, the prefect of Shandong, the head of the Zou family, Wang Mo, a student of the academy, and others were not afraid to fight with the pirates, and scolded the pirates and finally were hacked to death with knives in a miserable state, the general soldier was deeply moved to set up a shrine for him and personally worshipped, and the worshippers came and went every day.
A large amount of grain was found in the grain merchants in the city, and in an instant, the people in the city had grain, oil, salt and other things, and the surrounding people retreated, and no one resisted the tax collection checkpoint.
The sun shone on Xiao Chuan's eyes a little painful, sitting on his own special recliner and covered with a layer of wool coat, the pain on both sides of his waist did not abate, Xiao Zi on the side saw Xiao Chuan's appearance and worried: "Childe, why are you worried, but you are not feeling well"
"No, it's just a backache" Xiao Chuan smiled helplessly, and Xiao Zi on the side said with a worried expression: "I had a cold last night?" ”
Yamato, who was playing an unknown Japanese musical instrument on the side, stewed it, and said with a slightly red face: "Yesterday you had to look for me. ”
Xiao Zi didn't understand their conversation, and the injury with a strip of cloth wrapped around her head had already improved a lot: "By the way, Mr. came today to ask us if we will live in Qingzhou or Jinan Mansion in the future?" ”
Forehead? Xiaochuan was stunned, of course he lived in Qingzhou, if all those people in the family came, wouldn't they be loyal to the country in advance, and said: "Tell him to stay in Jinan Mansion, and then go to Qingzhou when I get well after I exercise."
"Oh" Xiao Zi was a little happy, she didn't need to meet the hostess in advance, otherwise she would be worried that it would be unlucky to meet a jealous hostess.
When Yamato heard this, he looked at the fish raised in the pond next to him and stopped his steps, his beautiful big eyes with a different kind of tenderness.
"I heard that the prince is going to pass through Shandong in a few days, aren't we going to greet him?" Xiao Zi's big eyes were full of anticipation, and he seemed to be very curious about how magnificent the prince's procession should be, and said: "I heard that the prince's palanquin is sixteen snow-white horses, with unicorn guards on both sides, and there are 100,000 troops behind it. ”
Flutter, Xiao Chuan almost laughed, looking at Xiao Zi who was like a little girl, she was also helpless, and said, "Who told you this?"
"The children outside all said so, and they also said that the prince took Liu Zeqing's army, and he was not a wise person" Xiao Zi's big eyes flashed with a strange light.
"Where did the prince come from 100,000 people, Shandong can't afford to raise an army of 100,000" Yamato said with a smile: "It's already an eighteen-year-old girl, how can you still believe the rumors outside"
Xiao Zi pouted when she heard this, looking very unhappy, and said, "Who said that the prince can bring enough food, why can't he afford it?"
Xiaochuan shook his head and laughed, but he also had no choice but to go south to Nanjing, and the richest places in Jiangnan and Zhejiang provinces belonged to this prince, and a new bloody storm would inevitably be set off in all parts of Jiangnan.
"Childe, let's go take a look" Xiao Zi said with Xiao Chuan's arm in anticipation.
"The prince is passing by Shandong, I should naturally go to greet him and send him off," Xiaochuan said, but Xiaozi laughed happily when she heard it.
Yamato on the side frowned and said, "How can you be so used to this little girl"
***********
The continuous army, the red army can not be seen, on both sides are a team of cavalry looking different kind of majestic and majestic, in the middle of a yellow carriage, on which Zhu Cihong is wearing a yellow robe, followed by a little eunuch, and Zhu Hu who is wearing a bright light armor, he glanced at Zhu Hu and is very satisfied: "This armor is so powerful and long-lasting, you fit very well (the prince obtained the table for him)" More than a dozen Ming army generals nearby were all cast envious eyes.
Zhu Hu is tall and wearing iron armor at the moment, with an inexplicable majesty on his body, he is no longer the soldier he was at the beginning, he hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for Your Highness's armor"
"You and my brothers, don't be commensurate with master and servant, you can just call me Brother Hong" Zhu Cihong shook his head and smiled, his handsome face was full of satisfied expressions, and more than a dozen generals nearby were even more envious, but who made Zhu Hu's ability to lead troops to fight was first-class and deep.
"This is not in accordance with the rules, Your Highness" Zhu Hu hurriedly shook his head, with a kind of excitement on his face, and more of a little confused.
"No, this palace said that you are my brother, you are" Zhu Cihong said, after speaking, he turned his head to look at the continuous fields in the distance, and heard the sound of cattle and sheep in his ears, Zhu Hu suddenly said excitedly: "It's time to Shandong."
"Oh? Is it, it's here so soon" Zhu Cihong's expression was a little stiff, and when he looked around, he suddenly saw Zhu Hu's expression a little embarrassed, that is, he understood what the other party still cared about accepting Liu Zeqing's chaotic army, and said: "Changwei, I know that you still care that I took Liu Zeqing's army, but most of them are my Daming people, and they are innocent, but the officers among them have done a lot of evil and have nothing to do with the soldiers, I hope you can understand my intentions, at this moment Daming can not afford to suffer any losses." ”
"Yes! Chen understood, "Zhu Hu hugged his fists, looked at the Liuze Qing army in front of the team, with a strange and hatred on his face? He still couldn't let go of the mustard in his heart to Rusawa Qingjun.
"When we arrive in Nanjing, the palace will reorganize the Shenji, three thousand, five armies and three battalions" Zhu Cihong said, some generals on the side were excited, but they didn't dare to make any changes, and said: "At that time, the Shenji battalion will be commanded by you" Zhu Cihong said.
"The ministers are only a cloth cloth, and most of the nobles in the Shenji camp are nobles in the court, but they may not be convinced," Zhu Hu said worriedly.
"Hmph, that group of nobles" Zhu Cihong had an inexplicable hatred in his eyes, he thought of where he recruited Xu Wenjue and other capable people in the real Shenji Battalion in the capital when they were rejected, and said: "You are my courtier's brother, the younger brother of the palace, who dares to disobey!" He was worried again: "It's just that there are few war horses in the south, so it is more troublesome to form cavalry, and the three thousand battalions are probably only the three thousand people I brought from the capital, but they have become really three thousand battalions." ”
"It's okay, Your Highness, there are many people who can ride and shoot well in the land of Lianghuai, and the people here are fierce and have many original horse households, and it is not difficult to form a cavalry" Zhu Hu said with a smile.
"Oh! I see" Zhu Cihong said, with surprise in his eyes, but a level suddenly appeared in front of him, and he stopped the conversation and looked ahead.
A general armed with a long-handled machete on the side immediately flew out and shouted: "Who is in front of you, so bold and daring to block the prince's frame, don't you want to live?"
The more than 100 sergeants in front of him looked solemn, indifferently raised the firecracker in his hand, and the junior colonel on the side shouted: "Ready" The firecracker's hand immediately hit the trigger. "Whoever creates the level will die!"
General Naming immediately left a cold sweat, but with the prince behind, he couldn't retreat, so he had to stalemate there.
