"Your Majesty, what did you say? What's not that simple? ”

Empress Zhou and the others were confused, and even Zhu Cilang and other princes looked at their father in surprise.!

Chongzhen's eyes looked around in front of Zhu Cilang and the others, and then he said to them with a solemn expression: "Concubine, emperor, Pang Gang can agree to release you from the palace and let you live freely outside, my father is very pleased, according to Pang Gang's behavior, not only will he not embarrass you, but will take care of you a lot, which my father is still very relieved."

But don't think that you will be able to do everything with your sister's care in the palace. Here my father wants to remind you that after you leave the palace, whether you are studying, doing business, farming or even being a craftsman, you can do it, but there is one thing you must remember, that is, you must not join the army or join the army, this is the taboo of the superiors, once you get involved in these two points, we will not be far from trouble! ”

Zhu Cilang, the former crown prince who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, asked puzzledly: "Why, father, since our family has given up the country, we will not fight with them for the world, and what will my brother-in-law guard against us?" ”

Chongzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, this kid is still too young, he hasn't experienced turmoil, and he doesn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts, so he may not be as good as his sister when he picks up his heart. He had no choice but to turn his gaze to Wang Chengen and said, "Companion, you should explain it to Cilang." ”

"Yes, slave and maid!"

Wang Chengen respectfully responded to Chongzhen, and then turned to Zhu Cilang and said, "Prince, slave maid"

Wang Chengen's words were not finished. was interrupted by Chongzhen, Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Big companion, Cilang is no longer the prince, he is just a commoner, you should call him a young master." ”

As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, Wang Chengen's eyes turned red, and he said in a low voice: "This is." ”

Steady your mind. Wang Chengen said: "Young master, what the Emperor Shicai said is reasonable, although our Zhu family no longer has the name of righteousness. But if you enter the military or military ranks of Dahua, with our royal status in the previous dynasty, we will inevitably be taboo by the current royal family, and we will be jealous of the Manchu civil and military forces. However, if you are just studying, doing business, or farming, you have no scruples about this. Do you understand what the old slave means? ”

"Got it!" Zhu Cilang nodded with a wry smile, and said dejectedly: "It turns out that the identity of our Zhu family is so sensitive, we can't even be officials." ”

Empress Zhou on the side also persuaded: "Emperor, it's right to listen to your father's words, our Zhu family has been sitting in the world for three hundred years, and now we can retreat with our whole body, we should be content." I think that our grandfather was also born as a cow herder, after you leave the palace, you will be a flat-headed commoner, you must know that peace and security is a blessing. ”

Empress Zhou's earnest words made Zhu Cilang and the others a little less excited about leaving the palace, and he hung his head and said, "Queen Mother." What will you do after your father, sons, and others leave the palace? Otherwise, you will also follow your sons out of the palace, and our family will live happily. ”

As soon as Zhu Cilang said this, Chongzhen and the others laughed bitterly, and Cao Huachun couldn't help but say, "Childe." You don't have to say these words again in the future, if they reach the ears of the current emperor, it will inevitably be a trouble. ”

"What, can't I take my father and queen mother out of the palace to share the joy of family?" Zhu Cilang was dumbfounded.

"Of course not!"

Cao Huachun had to give the simple character of the former Ming prince to literacy: "Today, the emperor can rest assured that the princes will leave the palace and settle down in various places, and even if you do business and farm, he will give you a lot of convenience, but he will never let His Majesty out of the palace." You think. What if His Majesty comes to fight with him again on a whim? ”

"How is this possible?"

Zhu Cilang was dumbfounded, can't a family live together?

Seeing Zhu Cilang's stupid appearance, Chongzhen smiled, at this time he was just a kind father, he comforted softly: "Silly boy, don't you understand, young eagles always have to leave their parents to transform into eagles with wings and soaring, you have to grow up after all, you can't always take shelter behind your father and queen mother, understand?" ”

Looking at his father's warm smile, Zhu Cilang cried: "Yes, the child understands!" ”

"It's good to understand, the emperor, you have to be a good person and do things after you leave the palace, don't insult the reputation of my Zhu family, and if you have time, you will enter the palace more often to see your father and queen mother, you know?"

"The child remembers"

At this time, Chongzhen didn't look like a prince at all, but more like a verbose father

Just when Chongzhen and Empress Zhou were telling Zhu Cilang, who was about to leave the palace, the fleet that had been idle and rusty on Phi Island for more than half a month finally moved. With 10 Dabao ships as the core, 25 Spanish galleons, 100 Dafuku ships and nearly 200 fast cruisers as the auxiliary, a huge fleet set off from Phi Dao and sailed towards Liaodong.

This huge fleet carried two legions, a total of 50,000 troops sailing on the vast sea, although the sea temperature in October was very low, but it was like a docile child, and the huge ship sailed on the sea surface made people feel very calm.

Wang Zhi stood on the deck of a big treasure ship and looked into the distance very calmly, but his heart was very uncalm. He knew very well that in this attack on Liaodong, although Li Yan and others made a lot of noise in Jinzhou, but in fact, the main force of the attack was the First Army Corps and the Fifth Army Corps led by him.

As soon as he thought that the great cause of recovering Liaodong would be completed in his own hands, Wang Zhi's mood was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"If you can conquer Shengjing in one sentence, presumably the next step is to send troops to the Nanyang countries, right?" Wang Zhi muttered to himself: "Alas, if I can study more, the position of the secretary of the military department may not be without my share, it's a pity." ”

Since following Pang Gang, under the guidance and attention of Pang Gang, who attaches great importance to education, there are more and more literate people in the army, and many non-commissioned officers can read ordinary letters, or write letters to their families with crooked themselves.

But Wang Zhi is different from them, after Pang Gang invited someone to come, Wang Zhi, who had a keen temperament, realized for a long time that if he wanted to climb higher under Pang Gang's hands in the future, it was not enough to rely on the kung fu of fighting and killing, but also to have knowledge and culture.

But it is easier to say, but it is not so easy to do, although it is simple to read a few words and then read a letter, but knowledge, culture and cultivation cannot be cultivated overnight. But Wang Zhi, who believes in the stupid bird flying first, is very unwilling, so he picks up the book as soon as he has time and is hungry to study, and the hard work pays off, after two or three years of hard study, Wang Zhi was finally appointed by Pang Gang as a general who stands alone.

But this is not enough, Wang Zhi's wish is to be able to become the commander of countless troops, expand the territory for Dahua, and achieve a great reputation.

For this wish, Wang Zhi has been working hard for a long time, and he has a hunch that as long as he can take Shengjing beautifully in this battle, then he will be the first general of Dahua.

"Wow"

A sound of footsteps sounded on the wooden deck, and Wei Jiang, who was draped all over, walked to Wang Zhi's side.

"General Wang, we are almost in Dandong, do you want to order the soldiers to prepare small boats, so as not to be in a hurry at that time."

Wang Zhi nodded: "It's okay, then I'll bother Lord Wei, it is estimated that we still have half an hour to prepare, and this official will go to inform Commander Tu Hai and ask him to prepare the boat and prepare to land." ”

"Hahaha, what else are you going to prepare, if you have to worry about even this little thing, isn't it in vain for me to Tu Hai, the governor of the Dahua Navy?"

As they spoke, a voice sounded behind them, and Tu Hai's muscular figure and dark face appeared behind the two of them.

"Hehe, Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!" As soon as he turned his head to see Tu Hai, Wang Zhi also smiled, he turned around, and said loudly: "Lord Tu, we can set foot on the land of Liaodong at noon today, and it is our duty to attack the city and pull out the village, but the comfort behind it will be counted on Lord Tu." ”

Pang Gang vigorously developed the navy, and the importance of the navy has gradually been accepted by army generals over the years, and many transportation has been solved by sea. The 50,000 army is fighting in a different place, and the amount of people eating and chewing every day is an astronomical amount, and without Tuhai's sea support transportation, I am afraid that they will be hungry in less than ten days, so there are those words of Wang Zhifangcai.

Tu Hai smiled heartily: "General Wang is polite, just like Your Majesty said, it is our sailors who guarantee the combat of your army, and it is the duty of our navy, where are there so many polite people in the army!" ”

Tu Hai is a happy man, which is one of the reasons why he has been able to sit firmly in the first place in the highly competitive navy.

Seeing Tu Hai say this, Wang Zhi was no longer polite, and the two sides looked at each other and laughed at the same time

Half an hour later, a faint horizon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Slowly put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, Wang Zhichang exhaled and said: "Finally arrived in Liaodong, Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, when the official captures Shengjing, the official will see where you can run, give the order, everyone is ready to get on the boat!" ”

"Woo woo woo"

The long horn sounded on the shore, and the lookouts standing on the boat could clearly see from the clairvoyance that there were some figures running on the shore, and it was estimated that the Qing soldiers who stayed on the shore to guard discovered their arrival.

Immediately after that, black smoke rose on the shore and spread quickly into the distance
