"The minister doesn't dare, the minister doesn't dare!"

Wang Xiao was shocked, rose up and retreated, and then immediately knelt down, and kowtowed again and again, but he was also sincere, and when he kowtowed, he used great force to hit the bluestone ground.

"Husband, kneel as you want."

Zhu Cihong stepped forward, stretched out his hand to pull Wang Xiao up, and said with a smile: "It's okay in the future, but the military salute, don't be like this...... You deserve it...... As long as you have good performance in the future, when you are tired and dissatisfied, you think that you have been beaten by me today, that is. ”

Next, Zhu Cihong took the trouble to distribute all the silver taels by hand, and after the silver was issued, it was followed by a deep look!

When he saluted, Zhu Cihong was calm, clear-eyed, and extremely serious.

And the soldiers and generals who returned the salute were all in tears.

Not only these officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, but also looking at the inner and East Palace eunuchs from the side, they were also very moved.

Even if the prince invites people to buy people's hearts, he is also doing it above board, and he is upright in inviting people to buy!

The prince of a country, the world will be his in the future, what else do you need to be invited?

For the country, the people, and the people!

Personally train the king's teacher, and defeat the ministers!

"We were the first to come out yesterday, and you still said Meng Lang, how about today?"

After receiving the money, there were still faint tears in the corners of Wang Yuan's eyes, but this rough man was high-spirited, his head was also raised, and his chin could be tilted to people's faces...... Looking at his siblings, he said, "Let's follow the master in the future, how are you?" ”

Li Gong rubbed his hands, thought about it, and said resolutely: "What else do you say?" After receiving this from the master, he can only repay this gift with his life. ”

The rest of the people, naturally, were also speechless.

Wang Yuan was greatly satisfied, this rough and straight man, his mind is so simple. Loyal to the monarch to serve the country, originally learned martial arts and sold to the emperor's family. I used to think it wasn't worth it, but now I think it's worth it, but in the end, he smashed his mouth and said regretfully: "It's a pity that Wei Da is not ......"

"Wei Da's situation is different from ours, he has his own troubles......"

"Also, don't talk about him."

Wang Yuan sighed slightly, but he was also silent.

With Zhu Cihong's movements, the three large boxes of silver soon glowed.

With such a little family background, he still swept the cracks in the East Palace once, thinking about this crown prince, it is really shabby.

Now like this, it looks like it's working well. The military attachés were in high spirits, and the ordinary battalion soldiers were also very moved.

It's just that Zhu Cihong knows that this kind of action can only have a temporary effect. After a long time, people want to support their families, make ends meet, and live a better life, this is a person's surname, relying on this means can only inspire for a while, if you want to get subordinates who are willing to die for a lifetime and are unswerving, you have to go hand in hand materially.

If you say that you have to make money......

"Master Qixuan!" Several eunuchs in the East Palace ran out of breath, followed by a group of eunuchs in charge of the treasury, and each of them saluted before Zhu Cihong, and then said: "The iron tire bow master wants four hundred, and the arrows are ten thousand, all of which are available, and they will all be carried over in a while...... There are also some tail feathers raw rubber beef tendon or something, how much do you want to carry. There are also fabrics, high-quality Songjiang cloth, color dyes or something, and they are enough, now please show the master, is it now looking for someone to make the costumes of military attaches and sergeants? ”

It turned out that Zhu Cihong saw that the clothes worn by everyone were shabby, and many people's military uniforms were still patched, tattered and lost, like a group of people called Huazi.

His subordinates, even if they don't have armor, must be dressed neatly and beautifully, so as to boost morale.

In this situation, there are no strong soldiers, no iron armor, no firearms, only some bows and arrows, and most importantly, there are not enough horses.

Ordinary horses, the imperial horse supervisor can pull out some of them, and there are more than 100 war horses, with the face of the crown prince, no matter how they are extorted, they have to be given. But if you ask for more, it will be difficult.

A high-grade war horse is more than fifty or sixty taels, at least twenty taels, and Zhu Cihong's plan is one person and two horses, and he must be accompanied by servants, and he must have fine materials to serve...... Zhu Cihong, who counted this account, burst into tears, what a hole this is......

Don't say that he, the poor and white crown prince, even if he persuaded Chongzhen...... Well, this task is thrilling enough, well, even if Chongzhen is convinced, four hundred knights and two horses are eight hundred good horses, and then two hundred attendants...... There must be hundreds of carts hauling grain and horse feed, right? Well, there's another budget to add to it......

At this moment, Zhu Cihong burst into tears......

But I finally pulled up the shelf...... The military attachés also returned to their hearts, and the soldiers also obeyed orders, and Zhu Cihong got thirty blank blanks from the military department wearing the general flag, and prepared to pick out the outstanding ones among these soldiers and give them silver...... Well, although it's not much, you can be promoted, I'm afraid you can stabilize the situation in front of you a little, right?

……

……

In a blink of an eye, it was October 1.

This word also has a special meaning to Zhu Cihong, and at that time, it was just the beginning of an ordinary hope.

Or rather, it is the beginning of a dynasty that is close to the real end of the day.

On September 12, Sun Chuanting attacked Baofeng, on the 14th, the army advanced to the vicinity of Jiaxian, Li Zicheng personally led more than 10,000 elite cavalry to meet the battle, Sun Chuanting's chief military officer Bai Guangen and Gao Jie led the troops to attack, and its striker Yang Shenzu and Wang Long were Luo Rucai's old troops.

At the same time, Gao Doushu of Yunyang Dao and Hui Deng cooperated with their troops in Huguang, occupied Guanghua in August and Gucheng in September, and attacked Li Zicheng's old camp Tang County, and won a lot of people.

But it was at this time that the tide of battle was reversed!

The heavy rain for six consecutive days made it more difficult for the already long grain road to operate, and seized this opportunity, Li Zicheng led a light ride from Baisha in Ruzhou, cutting off Sun Chuanting's grain road!

At this juncture, the Ming army was still only infighting.

The Shaanxi soldiers and the Henan soldiers originally had a very deep opinion, and not only could they not talk about forbearance for each other, but they also did not even have the least trust. As soon as the warning news spread, the Shaanxi soldiers surrounded Sun Chuanting and retreated first, ignoring the Henan soldiers.

Henan soldiers are not stupid, simply came to a volume hall scattered, as soon as the news of the grain road was cut off, it was a rout on the spot, and then the counterattack disrupted the Shaanxi soldiers' formation, so the whole army was defeated, and was chased and killed by the Chuang army, and the 100,000 army was killed on the spot More than 40,000, and when Sun Chuanting and Bai Guangen, Gao Jie and other subordinates fled to Tongguan, the remaining soldiers were less than 20,000.

As for the remnants of the Henan Army, together with the chief military officer Chen Yongfu, they simply surrendered.

The end of the dynasty has officially kicked off!

When the news came, Chongzhen stayed awake all night long, and discussed with the military department to collect soldiers and horses from the nine sides...... Jingying is no longer mentioned, the crown prince collected a few words, and selected less than 400 people from Jingying, this matter has already proved that Jingying is completely useless, so there is no need to think about it anymore.

Then Chongzhen issued a decree to cut off Sun Chuanting's title of supervisor, and allowed him to use the official position of the governor of Shaanxi to make meritorious contributions, recruit and transfer soldiers from the nine sides, enrich the forehead of about 30,000 people, and rush to Tongguan.

Next, it is to consult with the cabinet to mobilize grain, grass and silver.

However, the cabinet and the household department are pushing the grain to adjust, so please send internal funds.

Although Ouchi had already collected all of them, Chongzhen still transferred 50,000 silver and sent it out quickly to pay for the transfer of troops.

In this way, the air in Jingshi is already extremely tense, and the upper and lower are full of dreams and souls, and everyone knows that if Tongguan is not guaranteed, and there is a loss in the pass, the next thing is Shanxi, and then there is Jingshi!

People of insight know that Shanxi is extremely empty, Shanxi is lost, and the Beijing division only has a few passes of Wuning and Juyong Pass, and in the case of the general trend has been lost, it is unknown whether there will be a town to defend it.

By this time, many officials and gentry had already begun to plan and prepare and began to flee south!

A dynasty, after October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, has really come to its end! Its king is still struggling, trying, and although it seems particularly ridiculous, its important ministers are helpless, and even secretly plotting to surrender, to turn the king into a petition, and worship the new king. Its generals have lost their fighting spirit, and they either look down on the wind, or preserve their strength to protect themselves and be rich in troubled times.

Its people, either suffering in the north, or singing and dancing in the south, at the same time as the war between the parties, the old men of Nanjing are still singing and harmonizing with the name on the bank of the Qinhuai River, the world is bitter and difficult, it seems that they have no relationship with the slightest, and the sea trade in Quanzhou is even more developed, and a family monopolizes the sea trade, until it has tens of millions of family assets!

This big empire is already [***] festering, exuding a foul smell, even in the south, it seems to be healthy, but it is actually rotten to the bones.

At this time, except for a few people, I am afraid that everyone has lost faith in it.

It's nothing more than a change of dynasty!

And in the palace forbidden, there is only one person, who seems to be leisurely, but in fact, his heart is burning, it is already October, and there are still a few days before Jiashen March?

Zhu Cihong knows that the time has come to do whatever it takes!
