The eldest princess has already taken the train to evacuate to the south.

Everyone in the hall was excited, and many young male and female officers called out:

"His Majesty!"

Zhu Yourong smiled and waved to everyone. She originally wanted to move into the fortress in a low-key manner, but just now she planned to walk through the hall quietly. Now not only did she attract everyone's attention, but many eager young officers had already come over.

.Everyone wants to see Her Majesty the Queen up close. If they can say a word or kiss her hand, then this life will be truly worthwhile.

Zhu Yourong stopped and smiled:

"I have already caused trouble for everyone by moving in. Now everyone should pay close attention to the work at hand. Your positions are very important. You direct the battle of the entire defense line. The soldiers in the front and the people in the rear are watching you. They

I don’t want you to stop what you are doing to look at me.”

Gentle laughter gradually sounded in the hall, and a female voice said on the radio above:

"Please continue to work...please continue to work. Your Majesty, I...I welcome you on behalf of all the officers and soldiers of our Purple Mountain Fortress!"

The laughter became even louder, Zhu Yourong also raised his head and smiled:

"Thanks!"

The arrival of Her Majesty the Queen immediately boosted the morale in the fortress. The male and female officers ran more energetically delivering documents, were more energetic when answering the phone, and the voice of the central radio was also full of energy. Even those who had not slept for more than a day,

People with red eyes did not feel sleepy. A kind of confidence spread like ripples and spread to the entire Purple Mountain Fortress.

"This is your room, Your Majesty."

A female colonel in her forties suppressed her excitement and introduced the best room and the only suite in the fortress to Her Majesty the Queen. Originally, the commander of the fortress wanted to accompany the tour, but Zhu Yourong refused and finally found one.

Several major generals with relatively unimportant positions, and the director of the women's department who is responsible for the lives of all female soldiers in the fortress, share this honorable mission.

At this moment, the director of the women's department was so excited that he could hardly speak incoherently. He gestured to the top of the room and said:

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, look, this is the vent of the humidifier. The air in the mountain is too humid, so it needs to be humidified... Look, the humid air is sucked in through this vent, and then the dry air is sent out through this vent.

."

Zhu Yourong nodded slightly and understood that the "humidifier" she was talking about was probably a dehumidifier.

This suite is only about forty square meters. It has only one bedroom for Zhu Yourong to live in, and a small outer room for the personal palace maid to live in. It also has a toilet and bathroom. Although it is not large, it is quite comfortably furnished. It is not surrounded by cold gray cement walls, but

It is painted with bright white paint, with a few paintings hanging on it, carpets on the floor, and a few simple pieces of furniture showing wood color and exuding a faint scent of pine wood.

Zhu Yourong expressed that she was very satisfied, and then went to other people's rooms to see how they were settled and arranged. The dozen or so people who came with her did not have this treatment. Several royal relatives lived in the standard officer's single room in the fortress. Different

It was simply decorated, like Zhu Yourong's room, to show the difference in status between them and other officers in the fortress. As for the maids and servants, they could only live in a room with several people to one room like the lower-level officers.

Accompanied by the major generals, Zhu Yourong was touring the fortress, familiarizing himself with emergency stairs, escape passages, gas- and fire-proof airtight doors... Suddenly he saw a figure at the end of the corridor.

Several accompanying major generals also saw it and hurriedly rushed forward. When they saw that the military rank was colonel, they scolded:

"Which department are you from? Your Majesty is here, why are you still blocking here? Get out of the way!"

The colonel didn't speak, just put his hands in his pockets and stared at Zhu Yourong.

Zhu Yourong was startled, with a glimmer of light in his eyes. He smiled slightly, pushed aside the two major generals in front of him, stepped forward and said with a smile:

"Why is Xiang Qing here?"

The major general who scolded him was startled, and then he saw his collar badge clearly in the dim light, and realized that the young colonel in front of him was Xiang Xiaoqiang, the commander of the People's Guard.

Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled and bowed to Zhu Yourong's three major generals, but hesitated to speak. Zhu Yourong hesitated and smiled at the three major generals:

"Haha, please avoid it."

The three major generals quickly exited the corridor. Zhu Yourong smiled at Xiang Xiaoqiang again:

"Teacher Xiang."

Xiang Xiaoqiang also smiled. He knew that Zhu Yourong only called him "Xiang Qing" just now, mainly because the generals around him had just scolded him. If he called out "Teacher Xiang" right away, the generals would be embarrassed. Zhu Yourong's behavior

Careful, Xiang Xiaoqiang likes it very much.

"Your Majesty," Xiang Xiaoqiang stopped smiling and said, "I would like to ask, how much do you know about the battle situation on the front line?"

Zhu Yourong was a little surprised and asked:

"What, what happened?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang continued to ask:

"You know that the Qing captives have broken through the Yangtze River defense line, right?"

Zhu Yourong paused for a moment, looked a little gloomy, and whispered:

"I know, it's in Zimuzhou, right?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang asked again:

"Then do you know how many troops from Qinglu have come over?"

"How many?"

"80,000 to 90,000."

Xiang Xiaoqiang said lightly.

Zhu Yourong looked confused. She still didn't understand what Xiang Xiaoqiang was trying to say when he told her this so seriously. She chuckled:

"Oh, 80,000 to 90,000. That's a lot... isn't it a lot?"

Xiang Xiaoqiang said:

"Your Majesty, more and less are relative in war. Do you know how many troops we have to face the Qing Dynasty?"

Zhu Yourong didn't speak, just looked at him.

Xiang Xiaoqiang gritted his teeth and said a number:

"Twenty thousand."

Even though Zhu Yourong didn't understand military affairs, he was also surprised:

"Why are there so few? Isn't there a hundred thousand garrison in the capital?"

"One hundred thousand people are now distributed around Nanjing. Four divisions are stationed in Qixia. This is to prevent the Qing invaders from breaking through Jiang's defense from the east of Nanjing. They probably cannot be moved. Two divisions are stationed in Jiangning. We can expect reinforcements at the moment.

, that is, these two divisions. It is estimated that Commander Wang is moving these two divisions to the river. But even so, there are only more than 40,000 people in total, and there is still a huge disparity in strength. The most important thing is that the Qing army has been separated

Three pontoon bridges were erected on Zimuzhou, Xinshengzhou, and New Jeju, completely controlling this section of the river. Now the troops here are increasing rapidly. It is very likely that after the two divisions from Jiangning are transferred, they will no longer face eight

Ninety thousand people, but hundreds of thousands."

When I said this to Xiaoqiang, I felt a burst of pain, as if a dozen torpedo boats were sunk, and a submarine's heroic suicidal collision was right in front of me. Especially on that submarine, the girls on it were all like Qiu Qiu.

They were the same. He couldn't help but think, if Qiu Qiu was not his fiancée, and if the crew of the Grasshopper were not asked to enter the headquarters by him, then maybe they would be the ones performing this mission tonight, right?

Zhu Yourong slowly pulled the glove in her hand, unable to say anything for a moment. She was a little frightened by the terrible reality told to Xiang Xiaoqiang, and subconsciously put the glove to her mouth. Just as she was about to bite it, she suddenly realized that Xiang Xiaoqiang was still beside her.

, his face turned slightly red and he coughed lightly.

After a moment of silence, she sighed:

"Teacher Xiang, to be honest, it's useless for you to tell me this. Alas, if I can learn from you for a longer time, I will be able to make my own judgment. Teacher Xiang, you should tell people outside this

.......Tell me, there's really nothing..."

"No, Your Majesty," Xiang Xiaoqiang interrupted her and said firmly, "It's very useful. There is one thing that no one outside can do. Only you can do it...Only you."

Xiang Xiaoqiang stared into Zhu Yourong's eyes.

Zhu Yourong looked at him and couldn't help but his heart beat a little faster. After a moment, he smiled and said:

"Teacher Xiang, you are referring to..."

Xiang Xiaoqiang said word by word:
Chapter completed!
