It's just that more than 100 people and horses are the limit of the number of people that the county king's mansion can control, each of them has been carefully selected and tested, and the general body can guarantee loyalty, Zhu Youhua has been in Chongzhen for 14 years, Li Chuang has never dared to expand his own personal military guards before breaking through the city, there are many people, and there are many flaws, so as not to expose the horse's feet to make the Chongzhen Emperor, who is famous for his suspicion, suspicious, and get a fate that has not yet run away and first encircled the Fengyang high wall, even so, the one hundred and sixty or seventy foot guards can block five, and most of them can be called dead soldiers, The rest are border soldiers who have been fed with silver, and there is no doubt about loyalty.

At the beginning of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Chuang's army arrived as scheduled, relying on these loyal and reliable escort teams, Zhu Youhua finally successfully escaped the clutches of the thieves, and cut through thorns and thorns all the way, struck the thieves, killed the bandits, and the horse bandits. In the past two years, he went into exile everywhere, running all the way south from Luoyang to Huai'an, Jiangbei, with his family guards and tens of thousands of taels of gold and silver goods, completing the migration of thousands of miles.

The number of people who accompanied the guards was also expanded to more than 430 people, including 93 cavalry guards, one man and one horse, 342 foot guards, each with a big bow, a spear, a waist knife, and dozens of fine bird guns, dozens of long knives and axes, and more than 30 pairs of iron and leather armor. In addition to the lack of artillery and heavy armor, the entire team can be said to be armed to the teeth, and it is an elite machine that Zhu Youhua has spent more than 40,000 taels of silver to arm.

There are more than 430 people, and the monthly consumption of food and salary alone is close to 1,500 taels of silver, not counting the miscellaneous expenses such as horses, forage, and other clothing, vegetables, etc., and it is impossible to hold on without two or three thousand taels of silver per month.

It's no wonder that those generals and soldiers only raise a few hundred henchmen on weekdays, and they haven't got any good equipment, and their food and salary alone will go down to tens of thousands of taels a year, and raising soldiers is a bottomless pit!

After the city was broken, Zhu Changxun, the cheap father of Zhu Youhua, was reluctant to listen to the persuasion of millions of taels of gold and silver in the treasury, and refused to leave Luoyang. Zhu Yousong, the son of King Fu, because of his "slimmer" size than his father, escaped by luck, perhaps because of the butterfly effect brought by the crossing, he had an accident on the way to escape, and when he stayed in the Huaiqing area, he was unfortunately caught up by the thieves, and then showed the public, and did not successfully escape the clutches of the devil as in the original history.

After Li broke through Luoyang, only Zhu Youhua, the third son of the old Fu Wang, succeeded in escaping, and Chongzhen learned the news of King Fu's death, crying and saying: "I can't save my uncle!" So he stopped the dynasty for three days, issued an edict against himself, and took out ten thousand taels of silver from his inner treasury as a pension.

In September of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youhua, a cousin who settled in Xuzhou Mansion at that time, inherited the title of King Fu, and personally ordered his cronies and eunuchs to send the pension of 10,000 taels of silver to Zhu Youhua, although the real hand was only a few thousand taels of silver, Zhu Youhua was still very grateful.

These past events just flashed in his mind, looking at Tian Cheng's distressed look, Zhu Youhua patted his thin shoulder, and said confidently: "Tian Banban doesn't have to worry, Lone will not sit and eat empty mountains, Lone has his own way to make money!" ”

As soon as he heard that the master had an idea to make money, Tian Cheng's shrewd little eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked curiously: "I don't know what method the master has to gather wealth?" ”

"This matter is kept secret for the time being." Zhu Youhua smiled mysteriously and said, "Have you all the plant ash, lard, salt, rosin and some Western spices that Gu asked you to collect?" ”

"What the master ordered, the slave and maid dare not be unsatisfied?" Tian Cheng smiled flatteringly: "These things are not rare, the slave maid has ordered someone to gather them yesterday, and now they are being placed in the room designated by the master to be stored!" ”

"It's a good job."

For his subordinates who are willing to work hard, Zhu Youhua did not hesitate to praise him.

Tian Cheng was brought from the Fu Wangfu when he Chongzhen was in the 12th year of the domain, and used to do some chores in the front yard of the palace, and then Zhu Youhua saw that this Tian Cheng was very clever, so he called to his side to do a follower, this Tian Cheng is very good at seeing the eyes of the master and acting, it didn't take long for him to become Zhu Youhua's henchman, Chongzhen fifteen years after Zhu Youhua inherited the title of King Fu, he also took a positive six products of the undertaker, theoretically and the guard commander Zhang Tanggong of the palace guard is at the same level. But when it comes to actual status, anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

Out of the temporary martial arts arena in the northwest corner, Zhu Youhua, under the guidance of Cheng Feng Tian Cheng, walked through the hall all the way, and soon arrived outside the main hall of the host Luwang Zhu Changshu's house.

During the early seventeenth year of Chongzhen, King Fu, King Lu, King Zhou and King Chong and other vassal kings who were exiled from the north to Huai'an, Jiangbei, were all placed in the east of the palace by Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huaiyang.

Now that it has reached the end of the dynasty, the emperor's treasury is so poor that he can almost run mice, Chongzhen can't even pay the military salary of the forbidden soldiers in Beijing, how can he have the financial resources to help these troubled vassal kings build royal palaces, and it would be good if they were not cured of the crime of leaving the fiefdom without permission.

When he arrived at the door of the main hall, Zhu Youhua unconsciously straightened his waist and straightened his crown clothes, and then he walked proudly, climbed the stairs, and slowly stepped into the main hall.

When he entered the hall, there were several red fires burning in the hall, and a warmth greeted him.

At this time, King Lu, King Zhou, King Chong and others were all sitting on chairs in the hall and chatting with a long sigh, and when they saw Zhu Youhua entering the hall, they all stepped forward to greet each other.

Zhu Youhua also returned the salute one by one, and he was polite in every move, showing the royal demeanor.

After a period of greetings, the host King Lu spoke: "This morning this domain ordered someone to slaughter a fat sheep, now it is a coincidence, and it is time to have lunch soon, several of our uncles and nephews, all fled from the north, along the way, hiding in Tibet, it is also considered to have escaped death, today we have a fate to gather together, just have a reunion dinner, celebrate." ”

King Zhou, King Chong and others saw that there were fat sheep to eat, and the corners of their mouths blinked unconsciously, but then they covered it up with the topic.

Originally, they were all vassal kings on the rich side, and they were given countless amounts of land, gold and silver, and they enjoyed the wealth and honor of the world. Since the disaster, there is nothing, most of them have become poor, their lives are quite shabby, and they can barely live in peace, a prince who has no land wealth in the palace is really bullshit.

As soon as King Lu passed the meal, the maids and firefighters on the side passed all kinds of dishes one after another in order.

In addition to stir-fried cucumbers, shallots, tofu, cabbage rolls, pastries and other vegetarian non-staple foods to decorate the façade, the main course is mutton and steamed chicken, and there is a charcoal fire in the middle of the table, on which is a pot of boiling mutton soup, which is steaming. There is also a steamed chicken and a few jugs of wine next to it.

Smelling the scent of chickens and sheep, everyone couldn't help but salivate.

"Come on, come on, eat meat and eat meat, you're welcome."

With the greeting of King Lu, King Zhou, King Chong and others, who had long been aroused by gluttony, were no longer formal, and sent meat to their mouths, full of soup and gravy, and there was no longer the image of a vassal king, and they ate quite happily, in comparison, Zhu Youhua ate quite well, just tasted slowly.
