Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

"Gao Yi, tomorrow, the 30,000 people, each family, will be given ten taels of silver.

Zhu Cihong lay on the bed, looking at Gao Yi on the side, this money originally belonged to these people, it was impossible for him to put it in his pocket, not only these, but also all the materials, and after the war was over, it would be sent to the robbed city, and to those people who were still alive and whose homes were destroyed.

"Yes, Your Highness Rende.

Gao Yi was moved.

Early morning.

The morning sun slowly lifted, and a few small birds chirped on the trunks of trees in the distance, and the dew on the leaves was like a crystal pearl.

Zhu Cihong washed up and walked out of the tent, put on soft armor close to his body, put on brocade casual clothes, and then put on heart armor, put on a helmet, and hung a golden sword around his waist.

"Ministers, see His Royal Highness the Prince!" Lu

Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan and the others had been waiting outside for a long time, and as soon as they saw Zhu Cihong coming out, they stepped forward one after another to salute.

Zhu Cihong nodded, at this moment, Gao Yi was directing the affairs of the various revenue organizations, and he was busy early in the morning.

"Zhang Huaibin, did

the old twelve who went to the capital last night come back?" Zhu Cihong asked while walking, last night the old twelve returned to the capital overnight to deliver the edict to Jinyiwei, and sent people to Liaodong to copy Zukuan, and the home of more than a dozen generals, such an important matter, of course, was done overnight.

"Just came back.

Zhang Huaibin said in a low voice, then walked to Zhu Cihong's side and whispered in his ear: "Qiu Zhizhong reported to the twelfth, saying that the secret guard has successfully broken into the Jinyi Wei North and South Zhenfu Division, and they are all innocent people, all of them are based on their ability, and he did not come forward to use the relationship, so Li Ruolian did not know that this was His Royal Highness's person."

"Also, in the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, the secret guards have also placed people, Qiu Zhizhong said please rest assured, Your Highness, everything is under control.

Zhu Cihong nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, this Qiu Zhizhong still has some ability, and he knows that he can't say hello to Li Ruolian and let them be selected by themselves.

Jin Yiwei raided his house for him, and the interests he contacted were too many, too big, Li Ruolian didn't dare to have two hearts, but the people below might have them, so it was not enough to have an internal investigation department of the South Division.

There is also the Longmen Chamber of Commerce, such a big business, it is natural to arrange people to go in and watch, if Jiang Ming is ruthless, if he doesn't want those two daughters, but also wants to make ghosts, wouldn't the two hostages of Jiang Xuezhu and her sister be useless.

Arrange for the secret guard to go in, in this way, Jiang Xuezhu will be useless, and when Jiang Ming's income report for a year comes up, he will send his daughter back, so as to calm the other party's heart and make money for the East Palace wholeheartedly.

"Report!"

"Report to Your Highness, Shandong Military Report, Qing Army Lian Breaking Plain, Linyi, Gaotang Prefecture, Yucheng Four Cities, is approaching Jiyang!" At

this moment, a scout ran over quickly, sweating profusely and kneeling in front of Zhu Cihong, holding a military newspaper in his hand.

"So fast!"

Zhu Cihong took the military newspaper, opened it and looked at it, his face immediately looked ugly, it had only been a day and a night, and he had already gone from Dezhou to Jiyang?

Lu Xiangsheng took the military report handed over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and saw that his face changed greatly, so he immediately ordered.

Dolgon's speed was so fast, as if he was breaking the city day and night, like a dead mother, anxious to finish the battle, and to rush back to mourn.

"This Liu Zeqing, when the Qing army fought Gaotang, why didn't he send troops, isn't Linqing not far from Gaotang!" Zhu

Cihong snorted coldly, and said: "This Dolgon is also clever, knowing that there is a large army stationed in Linqing, he didn't plan to waste too much time, but turned around directly and went in the direction of Jiyang."

"According to the minister, Dolgon's ultimate goal should be Jinan, and the nearby Jinan Mansion is relatively rich, so I think he will not give up Jinan."

Lu Xiang ascended.

"There are many soldiers in the Jinan Mansion Guard, how many soldiers does Liu Zeqing have?" asked

Zhu Cihong.

"Jinan Fuwei, less than 5,000, Liu Zeqing's side, I heard that there are 80,000 people.

Lu Xiangsheng thought for a while, and then said: "I'm afraid there is a false element in this, and the actual number may only be forty or fifty thousand." "

Huh.

Zhu Cihong sneered, got on the horse directly, and said to the herald next to him: "Spread the decree of high righteousness, let go of the reorganization first, the whole army will be reorganized, support Shandong, leave 1,000 logistics soldiers to stay in the camp, and give the people a settlement silver." "

Those materials, gold and silver, he can't take them away, it's too cumbersome, he can only send a thousand people to stay here and watch, the Qing army of the capital Zhou is also Yue Tuo, which has been completely annihilated, so you don't have to worry about losing the materials.

"The herald has the order!" the herald

immediately mounted his horse and galloped out.

An hour later, more than 50,000 people in the whole army marched towards Shandong, and the dense Ming banner fluttered in the air.

......

Qianqing Palace.

At this moment, Chongzhen, although he is writing poems, does not see the slightest relaxation and pleasure on his face, but is full of sadness.

Although he is very fast and does not have to worry about everything, he always has an inexplicable feeling in his heart, that is, he can be as lazy as a pig, but he cannot be as lazy as a pig.

Of course, it's okay on weekdays, but now that the Qing army has entered the customs and looted everywhere, the prince is leading a large army to fight the Qing army outside, even if he doesn't want to deal with the government anymore, he can't help but worry about the current situation.

That's why Wang Chengen was sent to the military department every day to inquire about the situation.

"Your Majesty, good news, great good news!"

Wang Chengen took the military report presented by the military department, walked into the hall happily, looked at the poem Chong Dazhen and smiled.

"Seriously, show it to me.

Chongzhen immediately laughed when he heard the great victory, he hadn't heard of the great victory for a long time.

"Annihilate 13,000 people from the Yue Tuo Department!" Seeing

this military report, Chongzhen was really surprised to call out, there were more than 10,000 Qing troops annihilated, and he had never seen such a wonderful military newspaper in the ten years since he ascended the throne.

However, His Royal Highness reported that Gao Qiqian disobeyed the military order and killed him, and he also killed many eunuchs in the palace, all of whom were close to Gao Qiqian, as well as a few eunuchs who were the celebrants, and Jinyiwei also copied all the family property of these people, and planned to thoroughly investigate the officials from all over the country who were related to Gao Qiqian.

Wang Chengen knew that Gao Qiqian was a person who was more trusted by the saint, and after speaking, he watched Chongzhen's face change.

"It's okay, kill it, kill it, Gao Qiqian dares to disobey the prince's military orders, he really deserves to die. Chongzhen

heard that Gao Qiqian was killed, there was no wave in his eyes, he used to use Gao Qiqian because he felt that there were no available people around him, and Gao Qiqian talked exaggeratedly, and what he said was the same as the truth, so he believed in his evil.

......

Evening.

In a luxurious mansion, Liu Zeqing was lying in the courtyard, listening to the song leisurely with his eyes closed, and one hand was touching the pretty maid next to him, touching up and down.

Giggles...... Outside the courtyard, a guard trotted in all the way, still holding a military newspaper in his hand, and came to Liu Zeqing's side.

"Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's military order. "

Prince?" Liu Zeqing, who was still lying on the rocking chair enjoying himself a second ago, suddenly opened his eyes, patted the maid's buttocks, and then looked at the few singers: "You go down first."

After the others left, Liu Zeqing picked up the military newspaper and read it, and when he saw the content inside, he was silent for a long time and did not speak.

"Adult?"

Seeing this, the guard next to him reminded him in a low voice.

"It was said that I was asked to lead the troops to aid Jiyang, to attack and harass the Qing army from the rear, and to delay the enemy's attack on Jiyang.

Liu Zeqing groaned, hesitating whether to send troops, a few years ago, the emperor sent him to the king of Jingqin, he could find an excuse not to go, let alone the crown prince.

However, this time the situation seems to be different, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally led tens of thousands of troops to fight with the Qing army, although he didn't know how the battle was, but he thought that he should have repelled the Qing army, otherwise where would he have time to send an order to come and let him rush to Jiyang.

He dared not to enter the king of Jingqin because the emperor was trapped in Beijing, no one could deal with him, in addition to his self-respect, the Ming Dynasty was in need of a military attache who could fight, the emperor would not easily dispose of the military attache with heavy troops, and some of the general soldiers had already figured out Chongzhen's hole cards.

But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has tens of thousands of troops, is rushing to Shandong, if you don't comply, there may be trouble, His Royal Highness the Prince's atrocities in the capital Liu Zeqing has heard about it, although it is a vain, not to be afraid, but it seems that a lot of big officials have really died, and it is always right to be careful.

"My lord, I have a law.

Seeing Liu Zeqing's expression, the guards next to him knew that he didn't want to send troops, but because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not far away, and he was still rushing to Shandong, he didn't dare to disobey the order, and he had been with Liu Zeqing for so many years.

"Oh?"

Liu Zeqing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Let's hear it." "

Everything is a soldier and a horse, grain and grass must go first, no money is impossible to fight, can not march, it is better to give His Highness a reply, just say that our army is not enough food and grass, logistics supply is also insufficient, the army needs at least one million taels of silver." The

guard smiled: "In this way, your Highness will have nothing to say, if Your Highness is really willing to give money, we will also make a lot of money, even if we send troops, just harass the Qing army, we don't have to really fight, what do you think?"

"Yes, your idea is feasible!" After

Liu Zeqing listened, he slapped the guard's shoulder, and the guard was in pain, but he could only smile awkwardly.

Liu Zeqing laughed and said, "You go and send a palindrome to His Highness immediately."

With that, he shouted outside, "Come, continue to play, continue to dance!"
