Chapter 276(1/2)
Go with the flow
Dashun settled in Fengxiang.
The capital was moved.
But this definitely does not mean that Dashun has given up on taking back Xi'an.
The capital was moved that day.
Set off on the same day.
The only difference is that Li Zicheng doesn't have to move.
And he saw it too.
Today, Dashun's main lineup, under the adjustment and command of Li Guo and Gao Yigong, is doing exceptionally well than the arrangement made before when he and Niu Jinxing were the leaders. The benefits are much better.
Before the Qing army had withdrawn, the Shun army had already gained an advantage in the Fengxiang Mansion area.
It just so happens that one is a nephew and the other is his brother-in-law, they are all part of the same family.
"It's our job. Even if the captain doesn't tell us, we still have to take care of it."
After walking around for a while, he first took a seat in a magnificent hall. Then the steward stepped back and left. After a while, Wang Chengen, who was wearing regular clothes, walked in with a slight stoop and knelt down in front of Zhu Ailao.
"What a capable person."
Because today's gentry in southern Shaanxi are the new rich that emerged after Li Zicheng reshuffled Shaanxi, and most of them are his own family members who were single-handedly supported by Li Zicheng's soldiers.
Zhu Yuluo's little face was red with anger at this time, and she couldn't hold back the little cultivation she had gained from surrendering to the thief in Dashun!
Wang Chengen almost didn't hold his nerve.
(Yes, Zhu Yujian is Zhu Youjian’s grandpa according to detailed calculations, but in reality he is only eight years older than Zhu Youjian.)
Well, in the midst of her hatred, Zhu Yulao forgot about her younger brother Zhu Cijiong, who was now the king of Nanming and was living a good life. He was also preparing to do some of the family's main business, such as working hard to have children, annexing land, and lending money.
He also knew that at this time he could not rely entirely on the Ming Dynasty's Longwu court, but had to rely on the local gentry.
How could Zhengchou deceive the princess and send her to Liaodong safely without revealing the inside story?
To draw a simple conclusion, Li Zicheng does not intend to delve into it further.
But he got a cold snort in exchange.
"snort!"
Anyway, having this anomaly can boost morale, so it would be a shame not to take advantage of it.
Suppressing the smile in his heart, Wang Chengen squeezed out a look of sadness and intolerance on his face: "I don't know, but it's better for the princess to disappear. The minister has arranged everything. As long as the princess follows the ship and stays away from the Ming Dynasty, the minister can be safe.
The princess will be rich and prosperous from now on, and will be carefree."
The second half of the sentence was naturally directed at Zhu Ainao, who was wearing a big cloak and a curtain hat.
The gatekeeper Pei Wu's face twitched, and he knelt down and handed over his hands: "Wei Chen will escort the princess until she reaches her destination safely!"
After waking up, I first heard that I was in Fengxiang City, and I just praised the name casually. When I left the city, I felt flustered when I thought of the name, and then my head hurt.
He was not the one who took off his clothes to prove that this matter was not done by the Longwu court. However, because it involved the legitimacy of Emperor Longwu, Emperor Longwu firmly suppressed it and put it aside.
Of course, now that I think about it, this advantage may be related to Fengxiang Mansion.
When Pei Wu got on the boat, he saw Wang Chengen's confidant and servant in charge of the house.
But although His Majesty said he wanted to send it to Liaodong, he didn't say he wanted a showdown.
If it hadn't been for Pei Wu's previous practice of transforming himself into human flesh and mounting a stone on a horse, Zhu Aona might have had more doubts.
Then I thought about it and understood.
Under the force of the Qing Dynasty, they obeyed their orders.
"The minister pays homage to the princess."
We have to quickly take advantage of the sudden retreat of the Qing army to recapture Xi'an.
The steward smiled and said nothing, waved his hand: "Please follow me, I have been waiting for a long time."
The Jin Yiwei retreated, and Pei Wu personally escorted Zhu Yuyao, one big and one young, onto the boat. The first few Jin Yiwei under the boat couldn't help but be speechless.
The words were spoken casually, but they sounded meaningful to Zhu Aona.
Looking at Wang Chengen's look that seemed to have a low eyebrow but was actually sinister, Zhu Auao simply slapped the table!
"What will Zhu Yujian do to me!"
He bowed his head and said: "Princess, please rest for now. When we arrive in Nanjing, the ministers will send the princess to sea as soon as possible!"
Pei Wu looked at the mother-in-law and baby behind him and pointed: "Please take care of them in advance."
Seeing that Wang Chengen behaved quite respectfully, the problem became very clear to him.
The Ming army, which was generally in a state of embarrassment, was naturally rushing towards Xi'an at this time.
To avoid the difficulty, he raised his hand and gave himself a soft mouth.
As she asked sternly, Zhu Yuyao's eyes immediately turned red, and she subconsciously raised her hand to strike, but knowing the situation, she could only grit her teeth and put down her hand.
really!
The only thing you can rely on.
Zhu Yujian just took the blame first and that was it.
Li Zicheng raised his forehead and frowned in confusion. Li Zicheng was also puzzled.
"The captain has good eyesight. I originally sent someone to pick her up, but I was worried about something going wrong on the road, so I came here myself. I hired laborers to row day and night. It's just that I couldn't show up. Otherwise, I would definitely come out to greet the young lady in person.
You!"
It would be good to keep it for future use as evidence against Wang Eunuch.
Wang Chengen could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
Zheng Chenggong experienced a defeat, and the appearance of his army was rather ugly. It was difficult to spend money on military supplies and fodder. Even if the Han River was reopened, the loss of shipping and land transportation would make the army even more strapped for food and fodder than before.
"What the princess said is that the minister must be blamed for his death, but, but this, the princess should pay attention to the present."
However, the generation of gentry in southern Shaanxi in the areas occupied by the Ming army obviously still welcomed Li Zicheng's rule.
The Jin Yiwei greeted him eagerly and waited beside the boardwalk to board the ship.
She spoke with hatred, and her face was full of unwillingness and resentment.
"That's the truth."
There won’t be any more arrangements to make.
"You evil slave!"
This time Wang Chengen was stunned.
Only Henan and Hebei have received some support from afar.
"It's really the blessing of our ancestors."
"I haven't heard that the prince has a relative in southern Shaanxi?"
"We are all our own people, captain, you can rest assured."
"Xicheng! How many of you please?"
"My father-in-law is here too?"
Among the Manchu, Ming and Li Zicheng natives, they are more inclined to choose locals.
After all, there is no one who has rescued the clan and still hides it like this, even on the Yangtze River in the hinterland.
But it is impossible to expect them to support Zheng Chenggong's troops.
Zhu Ayao didn't do anything when she saw this. She looked at her coldly for a moment and then asked directly: "You evil slave! My father jumped off a mountain and died! You took the imperial edict! You even took off my father's auspicious clothes! Take it to enshrine the new emperor."
Emperor! But he left my father’s body in the wilderness! In the end, my father’s body was completely gone! The death penalty is not a pity! You.”
I didn’t expect that Zhu Yujian was so heartless! He was just punished by his father and imprisoned for several years, and was bullied by eunuchs for a while, and now he is going to harm his heirs!
My ancestors!
"What does the throne have to do with a woman like me!"
Later, Pei Wu and Zhu Aona were led into the main building of the treasure ship by the steward.
"Is it your turn to hear about this matter? I'll take the money to seal it later and work under the command of the prince. You'll be happy with the name of the prince behind you!"
"Miss, please come on board."
What an injustice.
And this bridge connects a huge treasure ship and a sampan that looks particularly trembling and delicate in front of the treasure ship.
Pei Wu stood up with a cold face at the right time and waved his hand: "Stay away."
Sure enough, they had colluded long ago!
