Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Night.

The moon is in the sky.

Zhu Cihong sat in the tent and listened to Zhao Wen report the supplies.

"Your Highness, the logistics of Dolgon's camp are 5,300,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of gold, 150,000 head of livestock, and 50,000 people have been plundered. "

The livestock enclosure has been guarded by five hundred men by the general, and the rest of the supplies have also been guarded.

Zhao Wen said, and handed over a booklet with both hands.

"Tomorrow the people will be called together, and every household will be given ten taels of silver, and a head of livestock, and a piece of clothing for each person.

Zhu Cihong picked up the booklet and took a look, most of the things in it were similar to those on Yue Tuo's side, but the number was a little more than that of Yue Tuo's department.

He would not ask for a penny of these materials, gold, silver, and livestock, and then he would send people to the towns that had been sacked by the Qing army, and to distribute the materials, and all the people whose homes were destroyed.

"Send someone to the capital to pass on the book of the household department.

"Yes. "

......

Early in the morning of the second day.

Zhu Cihong got up early in the morning to wash, and heard the noise outside, he went out to see, it turned out to be Wu Rong escorting the hundreds of soldiers, gathering the people, he was standing on the high platform at the moment, shouting to the people below.

"Yesterday, these scum, things inferior to beasts, robbed the people's property and raped the people's daughters, it was simply heinous, I would have repented

, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince condemned!" Wu Rong shouted excitedly: "Today, I will be ordered by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to bring these beasts who violate the law and discipline to justice and be executed

!" "Good!" "Good killing!"

"His

Royal Highness the Crown Prince Shengming!".

When the people heard this, they immediately applauded angrily, and clapped their hands again and again, if it wasn't for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here yesterday, they would have suffered, not to mention the execution of these bandits, even the people who stood up to help them speak for these little people, I'm afraid there is none.

"Execution!" Wu

Rong roared, Zhao Wen waved his hand down, and the two thousand soldiers of the Beijing battalion who were left behind immediately put away their swords and fell, and more than 300 heads fell to the ground at once, and the people applauded one after another.

Zhu Cihong walked into the tent, picked up a bowl of white porridge and ate it, when he heard Zhao Wen's voice outside, announcing the distribution of silver, livestock, and clothing, which caused a shout of joy outside.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!" The

people outside knelt down in unison, shouting verbally on the ground, their faces were filled with excitement, joy, and a smile for the rest of their lives.

"Okay, now one comes to line up, don't mess around, everyone has it!" Zhao

Wen immediately began to do things.

Wu Rong, on the other hand, came to Zhu Cihong's tent and said softly: "Your Highness, the guilty minister has come to ask for sin."

After speaking, he knelt directly outside the tent and did not move, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not speak, Wu Rong would not move, to be honest, His Royal Highness did not ask him to do this, but if he didn't even have this awareness, then he would not be Liu Zeqing's most trusted lieutenant.

Zhu Cihong looked at the figure outside the tent, and did not speak, but the corners of his mouth were a meaningful smile, this person is very clever, but this is the only ability, after drinking the white porridge, he leaned back on the chair, closed his eyes and recuperated.

An hour later, Wu Rong was sweating profusely, although it was not noon, and the sun had not yet come out, but the heat in the air was very sufficient, not only hot, but his legs were also painful to death, but he did not move significantly.

"Yan Jizu, the governor of Chenshan Mountain, see His Royal Highness the Prince. Outside

the tent, Yan Jizu came to the door and glanced at Wu Rong who was kneeling on the side, and was slightly surprised in his heart, His Highness actually didn't kill him?"

Zhu Cihong opened his eyes.

"Your Highness, here are the names of all the soldiers who died in battle, as well as the list of soldiers with family members.

Yan Jizu said, and opened the box he was holding, and there were dozens of booklets inside.

"The palace is not watching, you go to Zhao Wen to explain the situation, he will order 150,000 taels of silver, and then he will send someone to verify with you, in addition, 50,000 taels of silver is awarded to the officials who have made meritorious contributions to Jinan, and you will be rewarded for your meritorious deeds." Zhu

Cihong felt very tired, he didn't have any energy, maybe it was because of the weather, maybe it was a big event, his heart was a lot more relaxed, and he didn't rest well some time ago.

"His Royal Highness Weichen Xie is compassionate, and Weichen retires.

After Yan Jizu finished speaking, he was about to withdraw, but was stopped again.

"That's right.

Zhu Cihong said again: "Zhangqiu, Changqing, Qihe, the battlefield over there is also cleaned, the corpses of the enemy are burned directly, the corpses of the Ming army, find a place to bury it, and then, find a vacant land in Jinan City, build a martyr's shrine, to be big, big enough to be engraved into the name of 100,000 people's martyr's shrine, this money from the palace."

"You make a budget, report it, and when the time comes, the palace will give you a list, and when the martyrs' shrine is built, it will immediately engrave the names of the soldiers who died in the battle in Jinan, mark the next month, and the day, and what battle they died in."

As soon as Yan Jizu heard this, his eyes immediately burst into tears, he knelt on the ground solemnly, kowtowed three times to Zhu Cihong, and said: "Ministers, for all the people, soldiers, and ministers of Jinan, thank His Royal Highness the Prince

!"

After the people were dismissed, Ni Yuanlu rushed here.

"Zhao Wen, if you go to help Ni Yuanlu take care of the people, you must verify the accuracy with the local officials, if there is still money left after the distribution, give it to the local yamen and ask them to help the people build houses.

After Zhu Cihong told Ni Yuanlu about the matter, he asked Zhao Wen to take the two thousand people to fight, after all, there are so many things to be transported.

"The Ministers are grateful.

After Ni Yuanlu heard this, his heart was also moved, plus the silver from Daxing, the two places added up to nearly eight million taels, and the gold was more than 100,000 taels, which was almost the same as a year's treasury income, and there were so many materials and livestock, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't blink an eye, and all of them had to be distributed to the looted towns and cities in various places.

To be honest, this is not something that ordinary people can do, at least in the past few years.

"Spread the order to Zukuan, let him bring people over, and move this 10,000-account camp

to the outside of Licheng!" Zhu Cihong stood up, walked out of the tent, glanced at Wu Rong, got on the horse directly, and then pointed to the war horse, Wu Rong understood in seconds, immediately got up from the ground, and the group galloped in the direction of Licheng, Zhang Huaibin and others followed, the sound of horses' hooves rose, and the dust and smoke filled the sky

!" With this Mingjun, why don't I worry about it!".

Ni Yuanlu looked at the direction in which Zhu Cihong and his party disappeared, and a smile appeared on his face.

......

Outside the city, the Ming army of 15,000 or 6 has blocked the four city gates, and the water is impassable.

Zhu Cihong came to the west gate, here, Yang Zaixing, Lu Xiangsheng, Zu Kuan and others have set up camp again, and everyone immediately went up to salute when they saw His Royal Highness coming.

Zhu Cihong dismounted and came to the campfire, looking at the city ahead through the moonlight.

"This city should be an empty city, right?"

Zhu Cihong looked at Lu Xiangsheng.

"Back to His Royal Highness, I heard some surviving people say that after the Qing army entered the city, they directly began to slaughter, at least seventy or eighty thousand people in the city were killed, and the magistrate also died in it, and many of the surviving people had already run away.

Lu Xiangsheng said with a somewhat desolate expression.

"Even if it is looted by the Qing army, the materials inside are enough for the Qing army to live for a long time.

Zhu Cihong said, came to the stone table and sat down, looked at Wu Rong on the side, and said: "Come, write a letter to Liu Zeqing, tell him that the money and grain have been obtained, and when the matter here is over, you will go back with the army."

"Let Liu Zeqing relax first, and when the Jingying army arrives, the palace will let you take 10,000 people to Linqing, and when the city gate is opened, and the 10,000 army enters the city, then you will take the palace guards to find Liu Zeqing, at this time, the lone guards will break Liu Zeqing's legs, and then, a team of brocade guards will appear, and they will announce Liu Zeqing's crimes."

"Then you will be ordered to temporarily act as the general army of Shandong, control Liu Zeqing's army, lock up all Liu Zeqing's cronies, and finally bring everyone over, is it clear?"

Zhu Cihong put the pen and paper on the stone table, with a faint smile on his face, looking at Wu Rong who was trembling.

"The sinners are clear.

Wu Rong touched the cold sweat on his forehead, picked up a pen and paper and wrote, and in his heart he was even more afraid of His Highness, it turned out that His Highness had already thought about how to move Liu Zeqing, no matter whether Liu Zeqing could get out or not, he couldn't escape, and the moment he dared to resist His Highness's military orders, and dared to disobey His Highness, Liu Zeqing had already been sentenced to death by His Highness!

Otherwise, if His Royal Highness wants to treat Liu Zeqing like him, I am afraid that he will have to pay a little price!
