"Come, go for a walk with me, and consume food." Zhu Yongxing stretched out his hand to Mengzhu, who was sitting in the chair and was wilting.

Zheng Yanbei came to see him this time, and he really put a lot of thought into it, not only offering two maids, but also bringing the chef to make a sumptuous banquet to entertain His Royal Highness. The dishes are delicious, not only let Mengzhu, who has never been out of the village, feast, but even Zhu Yongxing feels that he has eaten a little.

Mengzhu pursed her lips and smiled, handed over her little hand to Zhu Yongxing, and slowly accompanied Zhu Yongxing out of the hall.

The moonlight is like water, and the night breeze blows on your face. Zhu Yongxing's mind gradually cleared up in the slow steps, and the little drowsiness caused by drinking alcohol had dissipated without a trace.

No wonder Dawu didn't feel embarrassed by his previous arrangement, it turned out that he had a connection with such a family with a wide reach. All kinds of doubts were gradually solved, and Zhu Yongxing felt extremely lucky, as if he had insulted the goddess of luck. Perhaps, this is the golden finger given to him by God, a cheating weapon that every traverser should have.

"God, give me an armored legion!" Zhu Yongxing suddenly had such a ridiculous thought, and couldn't help but look at the moon and pray silently, hoping that he would be able to get it when he opened his eyes tomorrow, and then he could sweep the world......

"Your Highness, the moon is beautiful tonight." Mengzhu spoke on the side, interrupting Zhu Yongxing's pious prayer, "If it is the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, after the family reunion of the men and women of our clan, they will go to the mountains and forests to sing and dance, and carry out the 'moon jumping' activity. ”

"It's good to sing and dance, or you have a good time." Zhu Yongxing smiled slightly, remembered something in his heart, and asked a little strangely: "I didn't want the two maids sent by the Zheng family, why did you open your mouth to accept them?" ”

"Don't you say I'm a princess, doesn't the princess have a maid?" Mengzhu blinked her big eyes mischievously, then smiled and said, "Han family girl, staying by my side can teach me a lot of Han family rules and customs, so as not to be made fun of in the future and sweep away His Highness's face." ”

Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly, it turned out that he had such thoughts, but he still had to remind, "The rules and customs of the Han family are not all good, you have to be screened." Fortunately, they are all big feet, so they must not pry you to wrap your little feet. ”

"Did Your Highness say that it is a three-inch golden lotus?" Mengzhu asked suspiciously, "Isn't it pretty?" There are a lot of poems that praise it! ”

"Nature is beautiful, and the bad customs of self-harm and self-abuse should be eliminated." Zhu Yongxing frowned, obviously disgusted by this habit of destroying women.

Oh, Mengzhu wrote it down in her heart, and asked with some worry: "Listening to what Zheng Yanbei said, Yongchang has been occupied by the Qing army, and my clan is going down the Yuan River, I'm afraid it won't work, right?" ”

"It's a bit of a surprise." Zhu Yongxing pondered for a while, smiled and said with relief: "I have to take more land routes, gather the Yuanjiang River elsewhere, and then go down the river." ”

Mengzhu thought about it, and had no choice but to do so, although it was different from the original plan, it didn't have much impact.

"Actually, I still have a plan, but it's a bit risky and not very mature." Zhu Yongxing hesitated a little, thought about it and said: "The Qing army occupies the important place in Yunnan Province and divides the remaining Ming army departments. And the remnants of the Ming army mostly fled to the western border area of Yunnan, lacking both food and grass, and miasma and plague, and did not know where to retreat? Afflictions will be cleared up for a long time. ”

"Your Highness wants to fight the Qing army?" Mengzhu guessed and asked, "The closest to here is Yongchang, and His Royal Highness at the banquet also asked in detail about this place." But Zheng Yanbei said that the Qing army division Kunming, but also left the famous general Daniel Zhang to lead the elite to guard Yongchang, only with the strength of our clan, I am afraid it will be difficult to win! ”

"Of course I won't take any risks, and I won't sacrifice the lives of your people in vain." Zhu Yongxing gently pinched Mengzhu's small hand to show comfort, pondered for a while, and continued: "Wait a minute, see how many Ming troops can be gathered here, and then make calculations." ”

"I'm not stingy with the lives of my clansmen, and I don't want to fight for Your Highness, it's just-" Mengzhu was obviously worried that Zhu Yongxing would misunderstand, and hurriedly explained.

"Just plan before you act, don't act hastily." Zhu Yongxing nodded with a smile and said, "Sacrifice should also be valuable, do you think I'm the kind of person who is reckless?" I'm not going to do anything like an egg hitting a stone. ”

Mengzhu smiled relievedly and said: "Congratulations, Your Highness, with the help of the Zheng family, like a tiger with wings, you can soar all over the world." ”

I really feel that way! Zhu Yongxing smiled, with the help of the Zheng family, who can take on a variety of tasks, his plan can be carried out quite smoothly, and his mood is smooth. It's just that the idea of fighting with the Qing army has always lingered in my mind, and it is difficult to completely give it up.

After walking and laughing with Mengzhu for a while, Zhu Yongxing sent her to the room to rest, but he couldn't sleep, sitting at the table and contemplating on the map.

Most of the Qing army returned to Kunming through Yongchang, Dali, Yao'an and other places, but left famous generals and elite soldiers in Yongchang, with obvious intentions, that is, to divide and suppress the defeated Southern Ming army that retreated to the border area.

At this time, there were still a lot of remnants of the Southern Ming army, outside the border of Yunlongzhou, outside the border of Shunning Fu, outside the Lancang border, outside the Lijiang border, plus Li Dingguo, Bai Wenxuan, Qi Sansheng, Gao Wengui, Jin Tongwu, Yang Wu, Liang Jie, Wu Zisheng, Wu Sanxing, Guo Shangxian, Wang Guoxun and other departments in the western border area of Yunnan.

It's a pity that these Ming troops lost contact with each other, and there were many border areas, facing difficulties such as miasma plague and insufficient supplies, and finally had no choice but to surrender. To be honest, Zhu Yongxing can understand the entanglement and torment in their hearts, but this does not mean that he will sit idly by and watch it happen.

The Son of Heaven entered Burma, and the famous generals were defeated. It is indeed a scene full of frustration, and it can indeed break the will of many people to persevere. But if we can see a glimmer of hope in the darkness of despair, even if it is as small as a bean, it will rekindle hope in people's hearts, right?

Zhu Yongxing narrowed his eyes slightly, and the focus of his gaze still stayed on the position of Yongchang (now Baoshan). If a battle can be fought here, preferably by capturing Yongchang, then the connection between northwestern and southwestern Yunnan will be unimpeded, without having to pass through a dangerous path. In this way, not only can more remnants of the Ming army have the goal of convergence and gathering, but also have a huge political impact.

Moreover, this will not only greatly boost people's confidence, but will also be more effective in curbing the wave of surrender that will soon occur. In Yunnan, a province with many ethnic groups and many Tusi everywhere, it shows that the Nanming army still has combat capability, and it has more practical and far-reaching significance. Because except for a few people, the loyalty to the imperial court in these places changes with the situation, and they have to consider more of their own interests and the interests of their own people.
