Chapter 37: Return to Beijing

The location of the battlefield was not far from Guangzhou, and it didn't take long for Zhu Qizhen to return to this city full of food, and he hadn't seen him for a few months, and he really missed those wonderful ideas.

Geng Jiuchou had already received the news and was waiting at the city gate, and Guo Ying, the deputy commander of the Third Army, was also waiting for him.

As for the people, whether it was out of the consideration of stabilizing people's hearts or Zhu Qizhen's consistent style, they did not retreat, and even asked Geng Jiuchou to stop some of the welcoming crowds in advance.

In the face of the invasion of the Japanese invaders in the past few days, the people could finally rest assured when the emperor came, and they waited on both sides of the street one by one.

Before Zhu Qizhen could show up, he just saw the army from a distance, and all the people cheered together, waving the specially prepared red cloth in his hand and hunting in the air.

Although Zhu Qizhen was sitting in the carriage, he would still look out from time to time, and when he saw this, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Jin Qi, you see that the people can only hold red cloths in their hands to celebrate, how can I not have a banner that represents the world?"

Although the Ming Dynasty had the Dragon Flag, the Beidou Flag, the Sun and the Moon Flag, there was no unified national flag.

Even the concept of the national flag began to exist when the great powers invaded China in the late Qing Dynasty and saw the clear and unified flags of various countries.

In order to unite the people, Zhu Qizhen wanted to learn from the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem of later generations, so he said this again.

Although Jin Qi has studied in the inner study hall for two years, he doesn't know how to answer this question, so he can't answer it for a while.

Zhu Qizhen was not annoyed, knowing that Jin Qi didn't understand, so he didn't say more, just wrote down this idea, and when he returned to Beijing, he would find Yu Qian, thinking that he would definitely be able to understand.

The two of them chatted, saying that they had arrived at the gate of Guangzhou Mansion, Geng Jiuchou had already led all the officials and people to kneel and worship on the ground, and the city gate, which was originally a little festive and lively, was now quiet.

Zhu Qizhen slowly stepped out of the carriage, still wearing the robe with the blood of the Japanese Invaders, and Lang Sheng spoke.

"The Japanese have been wiped out, and those who dare to offend my Ming will be punished even if they are far away!" As soon as the words fell, there was jubilation, and the Ming army entered the city.

Some people are happy and some are sad, Zhu Qizhen is happy to enter the city to celebrate, and Kuntian Ryosuke is holding his ribs and wants to cry without tears.

He took advantage of the battle to jump into the river to escape, and for Ryosuke Kunda, who grew up by the sea, the danger of water was far less than that of his own injuries.

Especially in the surging river water, every time the undercurrent hits, he has to repeatedly pray that the broken bones will not be pierced into his internal organs.

Maybe God favored him as a frustrated person, this way down the river, but nothing really happened, and he found the dark chess he had prepared a long time ago.

"General, what should we do?" Dark chess player

looked at his general at a loss.

"Yaga! Why don't you find a place to help me recover? "Ryosuke Kunda has a weak breath.

"Hey!" As soon as Dark Chess agreed, he was about to drag Kuntian Ryosuke to set off.

"Fool, you've touched my wound!" Ryosuke Kunda couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Dark Chess in the face, but the result was that his ribs were involved, which hurt even more.

"Shhh...... Ha...... Aakura man, you don't have to touch me, we can't go anywhere now. Ryosuke Kunda said to Dark Chess with his dissatisfaction.

But then I looked at the opponent's helpless appearance, and I couldn't help but want to make a move, this dark chess is good for everything, but the brain is not easy to use.

Ryosuke Kunda adjusted for a long time to calm down, and said slowly: "Asakura, you now shave both of our hairs, and then find a Ming person's clothes and send me to the hospital......"

"Shhhh You idiot! Hiss...... Inventory Asakura-kun...... Hey, Kawasaki is here......"

Hongbao cloth shop, as Zhu Qizhen entered the city, the elated Wang Yan's face became gloomy, and everyone including the shopkeeper did not dare to speak out, for fear of disturbing the young master and bringing unwarranted disasters to himself.

"I tried my best to pretend to be a thief and get on board, but in the end I didn't accomplish anything, waste! The Japanese are all rubbish! Wang Yan's impotent rage took a long time before he regained his composure.

Looking at the silent group of subordinates, Wang Yan showed a sign smile again and said, "Why are you scared?" ”

"The villain doesn't dare!" The shopkeeper kept shaking his head, and waited until he knelt down behind him, and then suddenly realized that his knees were soft and slammed in front of Wang Yan.

"Humph! A bunch of rubbish! The smile on Wang Yan's face disappeared instantly, and he left this sad place with a wave of his sleeves.

Guangdong political envoy Yamen

Zhu Qizhen sat in the first place, and unlike usual, all the officials who could enter the door knelt on the ground, all with panic on their faces, waiting for Zhu Qizhen's departure.

No one knew what Zhu Qizhen said that day, and all the officials present were silent about today's events, as if they had never had such a game of monarchs and ministers.

It's just that the guards and soldiers who were moving around the city that night made many people understand that it was not that nothing happened, but that the emperor didn't want too many people to know.

Fortunately, Wang Yan left early, otherwise I am afraid that he would be arrested and imprisoned with Deputy General Lin.

Zhu Qizhen didn't stay in Guangzhou for long, and his trip south had already disrupted his arrangements for patrolling the border, and there were still many things to be dealt with in the court, so he just stayed in a hurry for a few days, and left Guangzhou as soon as Yang Caiwei's father and daughter arrived.

The time is about to come to June, and the farming has arrived, especially in Qiongzhou, when he went there the rice had already been harvested, but the colder the weather went north, the later it rifted.

In about half a month, the world will enter the summer harvest in an all-round way.

As for Zhu Ying's Third Army, it was originally sent out by Yu Qian to avoid trouble, although Zhu Qizhen didn't mention it, but Zhu Ying also knew that it was not the time to go back, so he volunteered to stay and help defend the coastal defense, which happened to be in line with Zhu Qizhen's thoughts.

Taking this opportunity, Zhu Qizhen was going to set up the first navy of the Ming Dynasty to prepare for the future voyage across the ocean.

The sea breeze in summer is much lover than in winter, the weather is clear, the white clouds are blue, and the sea is calm.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the huge deck, beside Yang Caiwei, who was still full of curiosity about HNA, Jin Qi and Guo Mao fanned the wind with umbrellas for the two, quietly waiting for the emperor's orders.

"Your Majesty, come here to see, there are so big fish in this water!"

Yang Caiwei heard the sound and ran to the side of the boat to look out, a whale was parallel to the hull of the boat, slowly swimming in one direction, and water droplets several meters high erupted from its nostrils, causing Yang Caiwei to scream again and again.

"Be careful! Don't fall down. Zhu Qizhen smiled, "Guo Mao, you go and protect her, Li Jian, you come to give me an umbrella." ”

Li Jian hurriedly took the parasol, and the fan in his hand slowly fanned.

"I heard that Cen Xingzhou gave you a hush money?" Zhu Qizhen was lying lazily on the recliner, and the words in his mouth could not be heard with joy and anger.

"Yes! The minister has already handed over all of them to Lord Guo. Li Jian hurriedly spoke.

"Thirty taels of gold, don't you be tempted?" Zhu Qizhen's tone was a little more curious.

Li Jian shook his head and said: "The imperial court gives the ministers a good life, and these money ministers should not ask for it, and they will not ask for it." ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes widened a little, and a smile appeared on his face and said, "Okay! Just by saying that, you should be rewarded! Jin Qi, you can tell Guo Mao later, I will reward Li Jian with that money. ”

After Jin Qi agreed, Zhu Qizhen asked about some details of the day, and Li Jian answered them one by one.

"It's not that you're clever, I'm afraid you've gone to sea for fish, right? First temptation, then discussion, and finally coercion, the means are beautiful. Zhu Qizhen praised it, but he didn't know whether it was a real boast or a fake boast.

Li Jian didn't dare to speculate on his intentions, so he could only say yes, only knowing that since that day, the emperor had never asked about this matter, nor had he dealt with anyone, including Cen Xingzhou.

Following the southeast wind, Zhu Qizhen arrived in Tianjin in ten days, and it was already a busy scene along the way back to Beijing.

Zhu Qizhen had not seen such a scene for a long time, so he left the convoy and took Guo Mao and a few people to the field to inquire about the farmers' harvest.

I just don't know, I don't know, when I ask the emperor, my heart is sinking, last year's cold disaster did not freeze to death wheat seedlings, according to the farmers' rough estimates this year's summer harvest losses are as much as 30%.

Zhu Qizhen frowned all the way back to the carriage, and the frightened Guo Mao and the others didn't even dare to come out, and after getting into the car, they just said two words in a deep voice: "Go back to Beijing." ”
