I thought it would be safe as long as I escape overseas. At present, the strength of the Zheng family fleet is the first in the sea in Asia. Even if the Dutch faced the Zheng family fleet, it would be difficult to catch it. If Zheng Zhilong gave up his mind to serve the Manchus, he would still not be able to guarantee safety when he escaped to Nanyang. Since there was no way out, let's fight. Wang Fu's face was full of bitter smiles.

Li Chengdong was shocked by the fact that someone was connected with the enemy and was inspired by the emperor's words, so he had to respond: "Don't worry, the emperor, I will definitely do this properly."

A few days later, Gu Junen and his party had already boarded a boat on the Yangtze River. Behind them were more than ten sailboats carrying 20,000 stone of rice. However, Gu Junen had no excitement on his face. Even he himself did not know whether the trip was successful or failed.

With this 20,000 stone of rice, it can at least temporarily alleviate the shortage of food in Guanzhong. From this point of view, Gu Junen undoubtedly succeeded, but the conditions of the court were too harsh. The 20,000 stone of rice alone cost 20,000 taels of silver. It's nothing. Silver is only valuable in the peaceful season. When it comes to a difficult time, it can't be eaten or drunk, and it's useless to keep it. What makes Gu Junen the most trouble is that the court does not allow more to buy it. The court trades at most with the Dashun Army at most once a month. The rice traded is limited to 20,000 stones. Once the situation leaks, the court will stop trading. Before each transaction, the Dashun Army must send the silver first.

The Dashun Army, including the old camp, had more than 600,000 people. The 20,000 stones of rice were distributed to each person for only a little more than six kilograms (city kilograms). Two taels of rice a day were not enough to drink porridge, so it could only be guaranteed not to starve to death. The court clearly pinched the Dashun Army's neck and would not let the Dashun Army make a lonely move.

Unlike Gu Junen's fear of gains and losses, Gu Kecheng and other soldiers of the Shun Army were very happy. They were beaten by the Jinyiwei. Everyone thought that their lives were about to be lost. Unexpectedly, the Ming Dynasty court not only let them go, but also took out 20,000 stones of rice to accompany them. Although they paid a price of 200,000 taels of silver, how precious 20,000 stones of rice was? For them who had already eaten grassroots and tree bark, they naturally knew that the military advisors had the ability to be unpredictable.

Such a large fleet was quite eye-catching on the Yangtze River. Every time they docked, they were almost investigated. However, with Li Chengdong personally escorted him, as long as he showed off his name, all levels would be released immediately. Everyone knew that Dongpingbo had made great contributions to the extermination of Zuo Nizhong this time. It was the hero in the eyes of the emperor. No one would be uncomfortable to stop Dongpingbo's fleet.

After the Yulin Guard recruitment was completed, it was early October of the 17th year of Chongzhen, and the last trace of autumn tiger's remaining power had dissipated. The coldness in the south gradually arose, and the emperor issued an order to return the imperial guards.

The pier outside Nanjing was crowded with people, as if the whole city had arrived here. The yamen runners were sweating profusely, their voices became hoarse, and they kept shouting, "Don't squeeze, back."

Today is the day when the emperor personally marched to triumph. Everyone wants to see the emperor's style. After the emperor defeated Zuo Liangyu's rebellion, both court officials and the people gave the emperor a hat. The leader of the Zhong Revival and the frustrated scholars and scholars of the Donglin Party no longer dared to say bad things about the emperor in public, otherwise they would be very likely to be smashed by the audience's hands.

For ordinary people, no one is willing to face a disaster. The emperor's ability to choose to take the initiative when the rebellion is extremely powerful makes most people think that the emperor is responsible. When they bid farewell to the emperor, everyone was nervous. This was originally an adventurous move in everyone's eyes, but unexpectedly, it achieved a brilliant victory. The admiration for the emperor was suddenly magnified countless times.

At this time, the river surface had already been cleared, and all the ships had disappeared without a trace. All the people on the shore were stretching their necks to look at the river surface.

A sail shadow appeared in the distance, and the sharp-eyed man immediately shouted: "Here, come."

The sails were bulging, and the masts were already exposed. Then the hull was the hull, and a huge treasure ship was revealed. Behind the treasure ship were more sails, densely packed with mast lights, and the entire river surface was filled with the huge fleet, like moving mountains, rushing down the river water.

"Long live! Long live!" Although I couldn't see which ship the emperor was on, seeing such a majestic fleet, the people watching were already excited and shouting loudly.

The first ship docked, followed by the second and third... Countless red figures came down from the ship and quickly formed two neat teams to move forward. The white feathers on their heads trembled in the wind. On the way forward, the yamen runners and the people were all divided on both sides.

Yulin Guard, this is the Emperor's Yulin Guard. The people in the capital recalled the scene when this Yulin Guard was just formed. At that time, the white Ling on their heads was still laughed at by some jealous Beijing soldiers. Now the white Ling looks so majestic. Every time the Yulin Guard goes, the people spontaneously make way for the road and the cheers become more enthusiastic.

When the carriage covered with yellow umbrellas came down from a large ship, the cheers instantly reached their peak. Wang Fu's ears could no longer hear any other sounds except for the cheers of long live.

"I will meet the emperor, long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Ma Shiying and a group of ministers saw the emperor's carriage and quickly knelt down to greet him. Unfortunately, their voices were drowned in countless cheers. Wang Fu only saw a group of ministers stammering and could not hear any sound at all.

"No gifts, please follow me and go back to the palace together."

All the ministers could not hear the emperor's voice. Fortunately, they could roughly guess that after Ma Shiying and others thanked him, they hurriedly followed the emperor's carriage and set off again. The place they were walking was like a wheat field sweeping by the strong wind. All the people who were still cheering and knelt down.

This is the power of the emperor. The kneeling of hundreds of people in the palace is really a slim compared to the 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of people in front of him. Faced with such cheers, Wang Fu couldn't help but feel floating.
