Chapter 37 Take over the mess

After entering the empty lobby, the county lord asked the prince to sit down and salute respectfully: "I pay homage to the prince."

The child quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, don't worry so much."

The county lord shook his head and asked anxiously: "Just just now, the prince said that the emperor had committed suicide to his country? What's going on?"

The prince told all the things that happened in the Ganqing Palace.

Fortunately, he was still smart and did not explain that Chongzhen was run to death by Wang Xuejun in front of him.

On the one hand, this is to avoid conflicts between the two sides, and to protect his father's glorious and tall image.

This secret was about to rot in his stomach.

Then he introduced to the present master: "This is the one who was entrusted to the orphan at the end of his life. He temporarily served as the chief minister of the cabinet, the Minister of War, the Regent, and the Lord Wang Xuejun."

Then he pointed to his aunt: "Regent, this is the youngest daughter of the old British Palace, the younger sister of the current Duke, and the lord of Chaoyang County Zhang Ziyan."

After the two sides met, Zhang Ziyan knelt down to the prince again with a righteous attitude: "I, long live my visit to my emperor."

Such a title was beyond the expectations of the prince.

Because the crown prince has not yet summoned himself to the throne, and the news of Emperor Daxing's death has not been announced to the world. In principle, being called such a title is usurper.

But such a title made Wang Xuejun quietly relieved.

In this title, it has already shown that the Duke’s lineage recognized the prince as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it shows that they could no longer surrender to Li Zicheng.

The prince personally helped Zhang Ziyan up: "Where is the little duke now?"

Zhang Ziyan responded respectfully: "The Duke of the State is seriously ill now and is resting in the back hall."

"Take me to meet you quickly."

Zhang Ziyan gave in: "Prince, please-"

Wang Xuejun coughed, and the prince was sensible and modest: "The father's great journey has not been announced to the world yet, and I have not officially ascended the throne. Please ask my aunt to be the prince."

Zhang Ziyan did not refuse and changed her words: "Crown Prince, please ask, the two princes, the princess, and the regent."

After all this series, I can be said to have taken care of in every aspect.

Everyone followed him to the back hall again.

Walking to the inner and outer room of the back hall, Wang Xuejun noticed that a pair of fat armor was hanging on the armor shelf.

According to historical records, Zhang Zhihe was burly and fat, and had a very strong stake in rice. He always led the way in battle and was known as the enemy of thousands of people in the army.

When I entered the inner room, a bad smell came to my face. Looking up, I saw a man lying on the bed with a beard, under the thin quilt, there seemed to be nothing.

Zhang Zhiji thought that he advised Chongzhen to personally seek the imperial guards to seek Yongguan, but was considered to be ulterior motives by Chongzhen. He beat him up and was frustrated. Then there was a plague that completely defeated the Beijing camp, which was furious and internal and external. In addition, due to the torture of the disease, he had already made him stand up. It seemed that only the air that came out was not incoming.

The current situation is that Zhang Ziyan and a woman are supporting her.

Hearing the footsteps of everyone, Zhang Zhiji opened his eyes with difficulty and saw his sister coming with the prince and the princess.

I quickly got up with difficulty, but I couldn't get out of bed.

He bowed on the bed and bowed: "My teacher, Zhang Zhiji, have met the prince, princess."

After saying these few words, he was even weak and shaking, but because of the relationship between the king and the minister, he could not bear it.

In fact, the Beijing Camp can no longer fight once it comes. The only thing Zhang Zhiji can wait is that when the city is broken, the emperor will come out and enter his own military camp under the protection of his confidant guards.

But seeing that the prince and the others have come, but only when they don’t see the emperor, I feel that things are not good, so I look at my sister with my eyes.

Zhang Ziyan cried and reported to her brother: "The emperor is already doing well, and now the prince is in power."

Hearing this bad news, Zhang Zhiji fell down with a loud bang and fainted.

At this time, an old Chinese doctor hurried over from the corner and urgently rescued him.

Just in the space where the old Chinese doctor rescued, Wang Xuejun asked: "What disease did the Duke get?"

Zhang Ziyan said in pain: "First, he was injured by a stick, and then led his troops to Baigou River. He was also infected with the plague. Thanks to the careful treatment of this old doctor, he survived.

But when the army was defeated and returned to Beijing, he saw the thieves siege the city, but he was powerless, so he was exhausted and embarrassed and angry, so he became more and more sick again."

After some rescue from the old doctor, although Zhang Zhiji had not woken up, his breath had calmed down, and it seemed that there was no major obstacle.

"Miss, the Duke's illness is not a problem anymore. Just have to have a good sleep. If there is a little supplement, there will be no life danger."

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this conclusion.

Zhang Ziyan was in a dilemma. Now, she can only guarantee that her brothers can have three meals of porridge a day. Where can I get any supplements?

In order not to disturb Zhang Zhiji's rest, everyone returned to the front hall.

Zhang Ziyan bowed to the prince: "My brother is so sick that he cannot command the overall situation. I am a little girl, and I cannot take on such a heavy responsibility. Now I will give the remaining Jing camp to the prince to dispatch it."

When he said this, he looked at Wang Xuejun.

Although he did not understand the ability of the regent, he would definitely be an amazing person to be able to steal the prince and princess from the chaos.

If you hand over the Beijing camp to him, you should be able to rest assured.

Of course, the prince understood the current situation, so he nodded and said to Wang Xuejun: "Regent, then please take over the military power for the time being. The county magistrate will assist you."

It's a mess, it's a heavy burden.

Originally, Wang Xuejun was completely disappointed with the Beijing camp when he saw this situation.

Now I just want to let my team take a break and recover my strength. Then I open the city gate to the west, protect the prince and others and fight out, and leave.

But judging from this meaning, I can't get out of it now and I have to take over this mess.

Having no choice but to bow and salute: "Since, follow the order."

If you take over military power, you must take the responsibility seriously and take responsibility, and the burden of this isolated island among the ocean-like bandits.

So a few people sat around the table and discussed the follow-up matters.

"Now the plague in the military has been controlled, but after serious illness and hunger, the soldiers' physical strength has been weakened to the limit. Our first task is to let the soldiers eat enough and restore their physical strength."

Zhang Ziyan asked the first question.

Wang Xuejun frowned and thought: "Now I immediately order that the remaining more than 300 war horses will be slaughtered and put into the pot immediately, except for the horses necessary for the prince and the prince."

Everyone nodded and said yes, so they ordered to go ahead and execute.

The soldiers outside were all excited when they received such orders. A burst of powerless cheers broke out in the entire lifeless military camp.

"Three hundred war horses can only cope with one or two days, and they cannot achieve the goal of regaining their physical strength. Once the soldiers are still weak and want to break through the Ximen, we will not be able to rush out to face the obstacles of countless enemies outside the city."

Wang Xuejun immediately asked: "What is the situation of the enemy outside the West Gate?"

"At least 50,000 enemies block the city gate, the first general is Li Zicheng's confidant general Hao Yaoqi."

Hearing this name, Wang Xuejun couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

Hao Yaoqi is a famous general in the rebellion army. He has extremely strong combat power and extremely strong command ability.

It seems that it is unrealistic to face such a powerful general when I wanted to take my own people quietly and leave afterwards.

Then the only way to escape from the heavens is to use these 10,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp.

But if these soldiers want to regain combat power, they must obtain food.

Where to get food?
