Chapter 52: Victory in hand

Zhu Yousong was full of ambition at this time, and after listening to it, he didn't care and said: "Bad news? Tell me about any bad news. ”

The sentry sent out by the old slave also heard another piece of news, saying that Li Banghua, the messenger sent by Chongzhen, had fled to Xuzhou, accompanied by thousands of men and horses. Even, there may even be a prince among them......"

"Ahh When Zhu Yousong heard this, his face instantly showed a look of horror, and he suddenly felt that it was dark, and before he could be stunned for a while, his incompetent nature was directly exposed.

"Father-in-law, how is that good?"

Zhu Yousong didn't expect that there would be any Qincha and princes, so wouldn't his throne become a big dream in the Spring and Autumn Period?

However, Lu Jiude's face did not show any worry, but instead smiled gloomily and said:

"King, this matter has not yet been decided, Li Banghua is true, but what kind of prince is it, the old slave thinks it may not be true.

Moreover, how did the so-called Qincha team break through many obstacles and get to Xuzhou? There are a lot of doubts in this! ”

What Lu Jiude meant by this could not have been more obvious. When Zhu Yousong heard this, he instantly understood, and then he put away the frightened look on his face and looked like a vassal king.

The fall of the capital to thieves, the death of the emperor and queen, the crown prince, and the princes have been captured, these are all news from the north. It doesn't matter if it's true or fake, if someone believes it, it's true, and if no one believes it, the real can become fake.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yousong only felt a surge of blood in his heart, he leaned forward slightly, and held Lu Jiude's hand tightly again, so excited that his lips trembled violently:

"That'...... That...... This matter, this matter ......"

Lu Jiude looked at Zhu Yousong's nervous and panicked appearance, and couldn't help frowning slightly in his heart - this little prince is not as good as him as a eunuch in qi cultivation kung fu.

However, Lu Jiude didn't take anything Li Banghua in his eyes, in fact, among the news he inquired, there was a so-called concubine Zhou Shixian who led the army, but Li Banghua was not in his eyes, let alone a little horse that had not dried up and had never heard of.

"King, as long as there is no edict in the capital, then these people are pretending to be thieves, and Li Banghua, that old guy, I'm afraid he has already surrendered to thieves."

"But, what if there is?"

"Even if there is, it is forged, the jade seals are all in the hands of the thieves, why is it difficult to forge a testament?"

"This, this ......" Zhu Yousong was so nervous that he kept swallowing his saliva, and he had no idea for a while.

Since he was taken to the manor by Lu Jiude and learned about the other party's loyalty, he didn't think about taking some extraordinary measures when necessary.

After all, according to the law of succession to the throne of the Ming Dynasty, now that Emperor Chongzhen is dead, the three princes have also fallen into the hands of Li Zicheng, and the first heir to the throne is he Zhu Yousong.

But Zhu Yousong has no imperial posture at all, and he is cowardly by nature, he has no claim in case of trouble, and he has no power in his hands, and everything now is just Lu Jiude's control.

Seeing this, Lu Jiude immediately clasped his fists and said in a sincere tone:

"King, this throne should have been yours, you just took back what belonged to you, and anyone who criticizes it is a remnant of the Donglin Party with ill intentions.

Besides, the so-called Qincha convoy is most likely pretending to be a thief, otherwise how could it break through from hundreds of thousands of thieves and travel thousands of miles? Unless they are heavenly soldiers.

Now that the capital has fallen, Chongzhen and his three sons are missing, the country is in danger, and the king must stand up and preside over the overall situation, otherwise the situation will be chaotic! ”

Lu Jiude has been in Nanzhili for many years, so he naturally knows that the six departments of Nanjing are a group of mediocre ministers, the so-called Shi Kefa, and he doesn't pay attention to it. That nerd may not even be able to catch one of his tricks.

Zhu Yousong listened, but still hesitated, in the Nanjing officialdom, the Donglin Party was an incomparably powerful force, and it was impossible for him to be completely without scruples in his heart.

"But, but those ......"

"The King." Lu Jiude saw that Zhu Yousong was still hesitating, and he couldn't take care of it too much, so he said anxiously:

"Now the world is already different, the pen, the mouth, there is no knife to work for a long time, as long as Nan Zhili's soldiers and horses are in our hands, even if it is a real prince, so what?

The prince didn't have to be afraid of the civil officials in Nanjing City who had nothing but a pen and a mouth. The soldiers and horses in our hands will not reason with them.

What's more, these sanctimonious hypocrites have always only reasoned when the truth is on their side, where is there such a truth in the world? ”

Zhu Yousong couldn't help but be slightly moved, and even nodded slightly, Lu Jiude is the supervisor of Fengyang, and he does have a lot of soldiers and horses in his hands.

In fact, Zhu Yousong and Lu Jiude don't believe in those civil officials, those guys, and they have never been reasonable people. If it is reasonable, according to the ancestral system and the etiquette system, as long as the Guangzong is in one line, no one can compare to Zhu Yousong.

"Father-in-law, what are you going to do?" Zhu Yousong was already completely moved, but he couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Can the soldiers and horses in our hands fight with the group of civilian officials in Nanjing?" ”

"Don't worry, the king, now several soldiers and horses in the Nanzhili domain, the old slaves have already said hello, except for Lu Zhenfei, Gao Jie, Liu Zeqing, Huang Degong, Liu Liangzuo and others in the city have already agreed to support the king's accession to the throne." Lu Jiude said, smirked, and said:

"In a few days, the old slave will summon them all to Huai'an, as long as the king comes out and pampers a few words, they will definitely be willing to smear the prince's liver and brain, and die. If Lu Zhenfei is not convinced, we will solve him at that time to get rid of future troubles.

Nanjing Jingying is just a virtual shell, there are less than a thousand soldiers who can fight, and Shi Kefa is a pedantic scholar, the king doesn't have to worry at all, they are not the opponents of the old slave. ”

"Then can Lu Zhenfei also fight for it? He also came to visit Lone some time ago, and it is not bad to think that people are coming. Zhu Youxiang thought for a while, and then said: "After all, they are all their own people, and if you really fight you to the death at that time, it will not end well." ”

"Lu Zhenfei is indeed a person who understands righteousness, and he can get the official position of Governor Huaiyang, thanks to the help of the old slave, this person is indeed available." Lu Jiude smiled and continued:

"Among the four general soldiers, Gao Jie's strength is the strongest, Huang Degong is second, both of them are interested in taking refuge in the king, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, one came from Shandong, his heels have not yet stood firm, and the other is not strong, they should not dare to make a mistake.

Moreover, many of the soldiers and horses under the two of them have worked under the old slave, and the old slave has suppressed bandits in Nanzhili for more than ten years, and there is still that thin face.

After a few days, when they all arrived in Huai'an, the old slave decided this matter again, and they couldn't help but regret it. Lu Zhenfei's subordinates are only thousands of villagers, if he is obsessed, the old slave will definitely deal with him personally. ”

"Deal with him with your own hands?" Zhu Yousong was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, when we meet that day, it is the moment when we set our great cause, and we must not be negligent at all. Inside and outside Huai'an City, the old slaves will deploy their own soldiers and horses, and none of the restless ones who hinder our major affairs can be left. The corners of Lu Jiude's mouth went up, and he smiled gloomily.

"But ...... like this" Zhu Yousong originally wanted to ask what to do if someone refused, but now when he heard it, he knew that his consideration was redundant. This kind of thing, where is there anything that is willing or unwilling, and where is there anything that is difficult to deal with?

Kill all who deserve it!

"Don't worry, the old slave will definitely handle this matter properly, and the king will never worry." Lu Jiude immediately made a military order.

Almost all of Nanzhili's soldiers and horses are in his hands, of course he feels that he has won the battle, and the so-called Qincha team will naturally not be taken seriously.

"Father-in-law, then I will leave all the affairs of the world to you to arrange." Zhu Yousong smiled heartily, and even his claim had been changed, and he seemed to have won the battle:

"In this world, after all, I still have to return to the ...... in my hands"

When Lu Jiude heard this, he knew that the little prince in front of him had already made up his mind, so he could also use all his strength, and then he echoed: "If these thieves dare to ignore the legal system of their ancestors, then we will send them to see Taizu Taizong to see if they dare to say a word of no." ”

Lu Jiude is very aware of the situation in the Nanzhili region, as long as there is no strong external force to interfere, his plan will be successful, it depends on how much strength the so-called escort force of hundreds of people has, and they can actually break directly from the capital to Nanzhili.

This is what Lu Jiude did not tell Zhu Yousong, he had actually determined that Chongzhen and Empress Zhou were in the fleet, and even set up an ambush on the way from Suqian to Huai'an.
