When it comes to the prince's behavior, Chen Mingxia's face is also flying!

He also followed all the way, just sneaking all the way from Huai'an to Yangzhou in the past few days, I don't know how much suffering he has suffered!

Not to mention anything else, the kind of graceful and luxurious son-in-law atmosphere that has always been seen is not at all, and all that is on his face is just the kind of lean and exciting color that can only be found after hard work!

After listening to Chen Mingxia's words, Gao Qiqian nodded and smiled, and said: "I expected that the matter of seizing the army would be successful, and the young master would protect the emperor and go south, and resolutely dispose of the strong domain...... It's really remarkable...... It's Lord Chen, and I admire him very much...... This time I went from Yangzhou to Huai'an to serve, and Lord Chen knew about it, and I hope to add more kind words in front of the master. ”

Shicai Gao Qiqian still looks like a rude military man with soldiers, and after eating Chen Mingxia, he is polite.

Although he is a famous eunuch, he has not been abroad for a long time, and the affairs in the palace are not very clear. However, one thing is certain, the master is no longer said to be powerless, it seems that the emperor wants to ask the master to arrest the soldiers, and he is the eunuch who leads the army and supervises the army, and the relationship with the master must be done well.

As for speeding from Yangzhou to Huai'an, it was originally the first to vote!

Seeing this situation, what else does Chen Mingxia not understand? At the moment, he just smiled in response, but in his heart, he was thinking about Zhu Cihong's safety all the time!

He has put his life's future on the prince, the prince, there is no room for loss!

………… Huai'an City has been fighting fiercely, shouting and killing to make a fuss, in the city, I am afraid that there will be no 100,000 residents, but if you climb high and look into the distance, I am afraid that ten thousand households are singing ghosts, and there is no shadow of the people at all.

There are small groups of soldiers fighting everywhere, all wearing the same costumes of Ming officers and soldiers, but the banners are different, so they can still be clearly distinguished.

Except for a few places in the city that are wide enough, in fact, most of them are just streets that crisscross the east, west, north and south, this kind of street fighting is very beneficial to the strong side of martial arts, if you can see it, you can find that although there are few people in the East Palace, there are often dozens of people chasing each other and hundreds of people fighting.

And Wei Yue and other more than 100 cavalrymen with horses and horses have been chasing Liu Zeqing's brothers, and the other party gathered a decent army of soldiers and horses, and they broke up once, forcing the other party to retreat again and regroup. Before they could catch their breath, Wei Yue and the others killed fiercely again, and then broke up the team that had been worked so hard to sort out again.

It's just that this style of play is very physically demanding, and even if people can bear it, the horsepower is almost gone.

As soon as the strength of the attack was weak, the soldiers around Liu Zeqing gathered more and more, and gradually they already had the strength to fight back, or it would not be long before Liu Zeqing could deploy a counterattack with the advantage of numbers.

Of course, the most important key lies in the garrison outside the city, although there are many Liu Zeqing's subordinates in the city, but they have been scattered several times, and it is difficult to assemble them, not to mention that even Lu Zhenfei can mobilize Fubiao, as well as the government and county officials and other errand soldiers, can also gather more than 2,000 people, and if the garrison outside the city does not come in, it will still be a stalemate situation.

………… Liu Zeqing's general army mansion and several small barracks are in the east of the city, very close to the east gate, and the general army sent a troop transfer messenger at the first time, but after fighting for almost an hour, the east gate garrison still did not enter the city.

This is due to Liu Konghe's backlash at the first time, this general has the qualifications of deputy commander-in-chief, but he was suppressed by Liu Zeqing, but he commanded the army as the son of a scholar, and he was originally more popular than the pure Qiu Ba, plus Liu Konghe himself has strength, and he is usually in harmony with his colleagues...... Just looking at today's situation, as soon as he came in, someone dared to give him a look and remind him.

Because of Liu Konghe's anti-water, many high-ranking generals hesitated, and the identity of Zhu Cihong's crown prince that he confirmed put a large number of generals in a dilemma.

Don't do it, Liu Zeqing is not a good man and a woman.

If you do it, you may want to kill the real Prince Daming, and you can't afford this kind of crime.

At the two ends of the first rat, the East Palace knocked Liu Zeqing's town mark into the water, but only Liu Zeqing's most confidant ran away, and not long after the transfer order came out, Lu Zhenfei also summoned his own Fu Biao Ding in the city, and rushed all the way to the east gate to guard.

He, the governor, had some prestige, and he stood at the head of the city and shouted desperately, which made Liu Zeqing's subordinates mess up the morale of the army. At this time, you can see the benefits of desperately trying to get rid of Liu Zeqing, although the damage is not small, but there is no one in the garrison outside the city to preside over the overall situation, and it is difficult to make up your mind to attack the city for a while.

Liu Zeqing summoned all the generals under his command into the city in order to support the establishment, but this time he was cocooned and self-bound.

"Your Highness," at noon, the shouting and killing sound was getting closer and closer, and there was a lot of trouble at the east gate, and the most important thing was that it seemed that Liu Zeqing was also leading his troops to move to the city gate...... Once the inside and outside are attacked, the outside of the city knows that Liu Zeqing is in front of them, as long as dozens of ladders are erected, the city will definitely not be able to be saved. At this time, even Liu Zhaohui and Gong Xiaozu couldn't hold their breath, and said together: "It's dangerous here, it's better to take refuge in the city for the time being, in case you ......."

"If something doesn't go wrong, find a chance to escape?" Although Zhu Cihong had a smile on his face, his tone was unprecedentedly cold, he glanced at the two of them, both were young relatives, Xinlehou Liu Wenbing was his cousin, Gong Yonggu was his uncle, and these two relatives were cousins according to the small family...... However, as soon as they heard that Zhu Cihong's tone was wrong, the two of them lowered their heads as soon as possible.

"You don't know, entering Huai'an to seize the army, this is my bent on going my own way, and my father does not approve of it......" Zhu Cihong sighed, and some words are not easy to talk about anymore.

With Chongzhen's intentions, they entered Nanjing together, clarified and stabilized the relations between the DPRK and China, and he, the crown prince, could go out of the town with great fanfare...... However, Zhu Cihong himself resolutely disagrees with such an approach.

In fact, from the thirteenth year before Chongzhen, the imperial court decree was only carried out by the governor, and the governor was not for the chief military officer, and the chief military officer was not for the soldiers.

That is to say, the imperial court can use Datuk to open the knife, or the weak general general, or it can be used to kill, but it is only a very few.

As soon as the battle was lost, the imperial court sent the flag school to take people, but all the arrests were civilian officials, and the senior generals were reprimanded or demoted. Because the imperial court was afraid of the cold hearts of the soldiers, they were even more unwilling to serve and use their lives, and of course, what they were more afraid of was the mutiny of the army.

With this scruple, once something is wrong, the court will only use civil officials to open the knife, and dare not ask the military generals at all. The discipline of the Heavenly Apocalypse Dynasty is still very good, but Chongzhen's missteps in this kind of matter have led to serious consequences.

For example, Zuo Liangyu, if he was in the Wanli or Tianqi Dynasty, even if he didn't die, he would have been dismissed from office and went home to eat old rice, where can he still be beautiful until now, and he was actually awarded the earl!

Moreover, the consequence of this is that the senior military attache can support the army and respect himself, in the past, the military attache could raise his family, but now the entire army is privately owned, because he has to support the army and respect himself, so he cannot march the military law, so as not to resent, so the chief military officer can at most punish the general, or kill a few small soldiers, but it is absolutely impossible to seriously implement the military law and rectify military discipline...... Because to do so, you can't get along with the entire army, and you are digging your own roots.

Therefore, since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the military discipline of the Ming army has become worse and worse, and thirteen years later, the elite has been lost, and the army has several strong feudal hands, like Liu Zeqing openly resisted the holy decree, Zuo Liangyu pulled Zhuang Ding to enrich the troops after the defeat of the Agate Mountain, and even burned Xiangyang and Wuchang City, burning, killing and looting everything, not only the people, but also the officials and gentry were poisoned...... This fully shows that the imperial court's orders are not good, and the army not only cannot fight, but has become its own disaster!

This is the evil result of Chongzhen's rule not working, and the chaos of discipline!

To be honest, Chongzhen is not as good as Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou crossed the river on horseback, integrated soldiers and horses, rectified the governance of officials and combed the finances, it is a serious national political system, as strong as Yue Fei, and an edict will be taken, although no matter how shameless this edict is, at least it shows that Zhao Gou's control over the army is extremely strict, and there is no problem.

And at this time, the imperial power has declined to the extreme, and the people's hearts have been lost, just look at how rare the officials who fled south are to know, there are very few cabinet members and six ministry officials Jiuqing, and there are not a few important ministers and elders at all, and the direction of the southern capital is held hostage by the strong domain, and now Zhu Cihong and Chongzhen, the father and son, have no soldiers in their hands, what will happen after entering the southern capital? It is to continue to tear down the east wall and make up the west wall, and only carry out the authority to the governor, and then the government order and the military order are lost, and the financial burden of the north is temporarily lost, but the four towns have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the southern provinces also have their own intentions, so they are not so reliable...... I don't have any soldiers in my hands, so I can't afford to stiffen my waist...... As soon as I thought of this, I thought that I was a dignified prince, and there was no way to do it in Yanjing, fighting back and forth with my head, and finally earned my life, I didn't go to Nanjing with Chongzhen, and then came to Huai'an to continue to do this kind of outlaw work, could it be that he, the prince, was reincarnated by the king of the mountain?

But now it's not quite a matter of help, he and Chongzhen are not father and son who toured the south and came to Jiangnan to see the world of flowers...... But lost half of the country, fled in embarrassment, and now coming to Huai'an is certainly to catch Liu Zeqing off guard, but he also insists on messing around, if things fail, even if Liu Zeqing does not dare to kill him, but the crowd is certain and fierce, and it is really difficult to say whether Chongzhen can protect him or can protect him at that time.

The least, the most optimistic outlook...... It's also that the crown prince's position can't be kept, right...... Zhu Cihong looked up at the sky and burst into tears...... For most of the past six months, he has forced himself into a corner many times, and now he is even more dead...... The state affairs are so bad that they can only survive in death, and there are no strange moves, bad moves, dead moves, and no tricks at all...... This prince is so bitter!

It's just that in the blink of an eye, after hearing the shouting and killing sound that is getting closer and closer, Zhu Cihong did not hesitate or hesitate, pressed the sword with his right hand, and said with a cold face: "If Wei Yue can't stand it, we will go up, either wait until the change happens, or, die here!" ”
