Hong Chengchou asked again: "Did the gate be broken with a bang? Didn't the troops send to resist?"

"The Ming army's tiger squat cannon is really powerful, and the gate is indeed rotten with just one bang." Bohe Tuo said with gray face: "Although I ordered people to resist, the Ming army's phalanx is really like a hedgehog and cannot be close to you at all."

Hong Chengchou stroked his beard and said, "Cavals can't rush over?"

"If you point a stick at the horse, the horse will not hit it up, let alone they are holding a spear." Bohe Tou was upset and did not remember the respect in his words.

Abatai slapped the handrail again, which made his son restrain himself a little.

Hong Chengchou had no intention of being serious with a hairy child, and asked again: "If the square formation is not moving fast, if you shoot arrows..."

"Their square formation has muskets."

"The Ming army rushed to attack for 200 miles, blasted the gate in one fell swoop, and then formed a square formation to calmly fill the bullets and fire guns?" Hong Chengchou said incredible.

Boheto nodded and said, "It's true."

Hong Chengchou was speechless.

He always believed that the Xiao camp that surrounded his camp was the elite of the Ming army and the real direct lineage of the Eastern Palace. He didn't expect that the Eastern Palace would have such an elite soldier in Cangzhou. How old is this crown prince? There is such a ravine!

If all the elite soldiers of the Eastern Palace were in Beizhi, why would Shanxi lose Taiyuan again? Could it be that there were elite soldiers of the Ming army there? When was the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty so valuable?

Hong Chengchou was speechless about this.

If such an elite force had been guarding Songshan, how could he become a prisoner?

Everything is luck!

...

"Wu Sangui is anyway!" Chongzhen may be the last person to know about this big event. Fortunately, the crown prince wrote a memorial to him, which is much better than only after reading the newspaper in the future.

Zhu Cilang used a historical figure to compare Wu Sangui's anyway: Li Ling of the Han Dynasty.

Li Ling was the grandson of Li Guang, a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty. In the second year of Tianhan, he was ordered by Emperor Wu of Han to fight against the Xiongnu, leading 5,000 infantry to fight with tens of thousands of Xiongnu in Junji Mountain. In the end, he was defeated and surrendered because he was outnumbered and surrendered, intending to cooperate with the Han army inside and outside to defeat the Xiongnu. Unfortunately, Emperor Wu of Han did not know Li Ling's ambitions and stole the three tribes, causing him to completely cut off relations with the Han Dynasty.

In the eyes of later historians, this period of history was mostly due to sympathy with Li Ling and complaining about Emperor Wu of Han being too impatient. Of course, this does not rule out the influence of Sima Qian in it. Because Sima Qian was the castration that was suffered for his friend Li Ling.

Before Chongzhen encountered such a thing, he also felt that Li Ling was very sorry. Who knew whether he would become the second Huo Qubing? However, once the incident happened to him, Chongzhen could understand Emperor Wu of Han's "too rush".

To endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens, anyone can say what Xu Tu said repeatedly, how to tell whether it is loyal or speculative?

For example, the crown prince should have valued him very much. Not only did he not forget to give him the title of King Guangning when the country was destroyed, but he was criticized for "indiscriminate rewards of famous titles". Now he is compared to Li Ling.

But others say that the Wu family and his son really defected to the Donglu!

If it is finally confirmed that Wu Sangui is indeed a traitor, wouldn’t the crown prince be hit? Wouldn’t he become a laughing stock in the world? Wouldn’t it be like setting up an altar to sacrifice to Hong Chengchou?

Chongzhen did not want his son to repeat the same mistakes and become a laughing stock for all generations, so he wrote to Zhu Cilang to warn him, and even used himself as a negative teaching material. This letter was not issued in the form of a clear order. Everything was like a loving father, and he only sent the eunuchs close to him in the palace to send it.

After Zhu Cixuan received the letter, he was even a little moved. However, facing the Xi'an City that was within reach and the 50,000 or 60,000 new forces, he also had to bear the repeated risks of Wu Sangui - this risk was very small. Especially Wu Xiang was still in Jinan. According to Zhu Cixuan's logic, of course he chose to accept Wu Sangui. No matter how much opposition there was, could he be comparable to the lives of a soldier?

What's more, what are the "Huangming Notice" and the Cultural Administration Department of the Censorate? It is the public opinion weapon born to deal with this situation!

Can the noise among the people defeat the national mouthpiece? Can the iron fist of the country control the national mouthpiece?

In October, Chongzhen finally received a reply from the crown prince and a good news for the restoration of Tianjin.

The reason for delaying for so long is that the front-line military was too busy. After the restoration of Tianjin, the Second Guard Battalion was expanded to a division-level division-level organization, and all logistics, training, and promotion of officers required the crown prince to nod at the last time.

Of course, Zhu Cilang couldn't take care of everything personally, but even if you just take a look at a small question, it would take a lot of time. What's more, a question would bring more problems, and it takes more time to express opinions and instructions on the issue.

Even if the procedures of the Eastern Palace system are set well, if such things are completely let go, they will lose control over their subordinates. Zhu Cixuan never believes that someone sets rules, and others will follow the rules and follow them. Therefore, not only should he monitor the procedures, but he should also appropriately play the role of inspiration and spurring players to ensure that his influence can advance and retreat.

"Your Highness has just been in a two-night stand, which is so harmful to his body." Lu Suyao said: "It's better to take a carriage."

After recapturing Tianjin, Zhu Cixuan naturally had to go and see Xiao Donglou, otherwise he would not be able to show his importance to him. Following the First Division all the way would inevitably lead to the desire to distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate women.

"The road has not been repaired, so it's still too tiring to sit in the carriage." Zhu Cixuan said, "Just ride a horse and be more refreshing."

Besides, is it okay to stay up late to work? Not to mention not taking it seriously when I was in my prime in my previous life, even when I was studying, how could I sleep before two o'clock? Now those officials are all used to lazy. Working eight hours a day is considered a harsh rule. If you add four or five hours of work, it is like being unable to survive on the end of the world.

Let’s take a look at the high school students in later generations. If you want to get into a good university, how can you only study for twelve hours a day?

However, after Wanli, the official atmosphere was too degenerate. In the Zhang Juzheng era, which official dared to be late and leave early? If it were earlier, those officials would have to live in the yamen and take a leave before they could go home. Only after Wanli had a quarrel with the court officials, did the officials gradually become unscrupulous, and even the basic working hours could not be guaranteed.

By the Chongzhen Dynasty, it improved slightly with the emperor's diligence, but it no longer had the rigor of the early Ming Dynasty. Ten years after Chongzhen, the officialdom was as lazy as it was.

Some people think that being late and leaving early and being away from work is not a big deal, but this phenomenon is a barometer of the rise and fall of a dynasty. As the operators of the state power, officials are unwilling to do official duties and only want to spend time and make a living, then the dynasty has lost its vitality and become a walking corpse.

"Your Highness, I... I'm not feeling well recently... It's a bit inconvenient to ride a horse." Lu Suyao blushed, her voice as light as a mosquito.

"Well, then don't go." Zhu Cixuan said: "Please rest."

"Your Highness, but there are so many things left..." Lu Suyao thought about the work at hand, but did not dare to leave Zhu Cilang for a moment. Once she separated, she would be forced to do so in the future and could not afford it.

"Don't challenge your body, otherwise you won't be able to make up for it in the future." Zhu Cixuan said: "By the way, you stay in Zhen Customized to make a welfare plan: all female officials will receive fourteen eggs every month."

Lu Suyao looked at the "uninvasive" crown prince in surprise, which was both touching and a little funny. She said, "Your Highness, you can't ask for so many..."

"Two eggs a day to replenish your body." Zhu Cilang said: "Others may not understand female officials, but you and I know that female officials' achievements are not inferior to men at all. And this is also a benefit that should be obtained based on different physiological conditions."

"Yes, thank you Your Highness." Lu Suyao quickly agreed, but said in her heart: Who has been there for seven days? It's only about four or five days.

She couldn't help but feel a little worried when she thought of teaching the crown prince "personnel" as her task.

Should I serve the crown prince directly once, or should I present the erotic picture?

When I was in Jinan at the beginning of the year, there was a rumor in the palace that the Crown Prince was going to get married, but later it was left unresolved, saying that the Holy Emperor thought he had to worship his ancestors in the Taimiao. Now the restoration of the Shenjing is already visible, and his job cannot be delayed!

"By the way!" Zhu Cilang suddenly raised his voice, unable to hide the joy of jumping in it: "This year, western Shandong and western Henan have reported a bumper harvest, and the office expenses can be slightly loose."

"Yes!" Lu Suyao was also sincerely happy.

After years of natural disasters, there has been a bumper harvest now. This is really great news.

"I heard that this is because Your Highness was originally the deputy lord, and his position was Yingdong, and his color was Qingzhou. Shandong was Qingzhou in ancient times. When Your Highness arrived in Shandong, he naturally turned into Yingtian and followed the people, and the heaven and the people returned." Lu Suyao said with a smile.

"This...well, right, let the tabloids in Jiangnan mention it more." Zhu Cixuan himself was not interested in this kind of flattery, but it did not prevent him from using it as a propaganda tool. The idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor is now being attacked by people-oriented people, and he has even embarked on a pathological path, that is, anyone who dares to scold the emperor is a true gentleman!

Although the emperor has something to scold, he may be too irrational to this extent.

Especially in this kind of war period, ideological unity is still very necessary.

What's more, Tian Cunshan sent a secret report from Nanjing saying that someone from the Nanjing scholars secretly contacted the vassal states, which was quite suspicious.

According to the old tradition, the Jinyiwei and the East Factory did not leave Beijing, and the local intelligence work was carried out by the Censorate, the Censor and the Eunuch. Now, the eunuch who guarded Nanjing was still very capable and could always win the Jiangnan property. Although it was not important, it was also of great benefit.

However, in terms of relationships, Wang Zhixin is still the emperor's personal personalities and cannot get too close to the crown prince. Tian Cunshan, who was sent to Jiangnan to run a newspaper, did not have this problem. Although he did not have any official status, as a central official sent by the crown prince, he would naturally have people gathered around him with such huge political resources.

This purely folk identity is more suitable for Tian Cunshan to understand the people's sentiments, especially his allies are Ruan Dacheng, a famous rich man in Shilin, Jiangnan. (To be continued...)
