"Your Majesty, what did you say? What's not that simple?"
Queen Zhou and others were confused, and even Zhu Cilang and other princes looked at their father in surprise.
Chongzhen looked around at the faces of Zhu Cilang and others, and then said to them solemnly: "My beloved concubine, the emperor, my father is very happy if Pang Gang can agree to release you from the palace and let you live freely outside.
I am glad that Yi Pang Gang will not only not embarrass you, but will also take great care of you. My father is very relieved about this.
But don’t think that you will be safe with your sister taking care of you in the palace. My father would like to remind you that after you leave the palace, whether you are studying, doing business, farming or even becoming a craftsman, you will have nothing to worry about.
Yes, but one thing you must remember is that you must never join an official position or join the army. This is a taboo for those in power. Once we get involved in these two things, we will not be far from trouble!"
Zhu Cilang, the former prince who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, asked in confusion: "Why, father, since our family has given up the country, we will not compete with them for the world. What else will my brother-in-law guard against us?"
Chongzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly. This child was still too young. He had not experienced the storm and did not know the dangers of the human heart. He might not be as smart as his sister. He had to turn his attention to Wang Chengen and said: "Big companion
, you should explain it to Ci Lang."
"Yes, I obey your order!"
Wang Chengen responded respectfully to Chongzhen, then turned to Zhu Cilang and said: "Prince, slave..."
Before Wang Chengen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Chongzhen. Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Daban, Cilang is no longer the prince. He is just a commoner. You should call him... call him young master."
.”
As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, Wang Chengen's eyes turned red and he whispered: "This...is..."
After calming down his mind, Wang Chengen said: "Young Master, what the Emperor just said is reasonable. Although our Zhu family no longer has the reputation of being righteous, if we join the army of Dahua or become an official, with our former
The identity of the imperial family will inevitably be tabooed by the current royal family, and will be even more tabooed by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. But if you are just studying, doing business or farming, you will not have such scruples. Do you understand what I mean, old slave?"
"I understand!" Zhu Cilang nodded with a wry smile and said dejectedly: "It turns out that our Zhu family's identity is so sensitive that we can't even be officials."
Queen Zhou on the side also advised: "Your Majesty, I heard your father's words. Our Zhu family has been ruling the world for three hundred years. Now that we can escape unscathed, we should be satisfied. I think back then our great grandfather
Aren't you also born as a cowherd boy? After you leave the palace, you can live peacefully as ordinary people. You must know that peace and security are the blessings."
Queen Zhou's sincere words made Zhu Cilang and others less excited about leaving the palace. He lowered his head and said: "What will you do after your mother, father, son and ministers leave the palace? Otherwise, you will follow my son.
Come out of the palace and let our family live happily."
As soon as Zhu Cilang said these words, Chongzhen and others all laughed bitterly. Cao Huachun couldn't help but said: "Master, please don't say these words again in the future. If they get into the ears of the current emperor, it will inevitably cause a lot of trouble."
"Why, can't it be okay if I take my father and mother out of the palace to share the happiness of family?" Zhu Cilang was dumbfounded.
"Of course not!"
Cao Huachun had to educate the simple-minded former Ming Dynasty prince about illiteracy: "Today, the emperor can safely let the princes leave the palace and settle down in various places. He will even give you a lot of conveniences when you do business and farm, but he will never let go."
Your Majesty is out of the palace. Think about it, what if your Majesty gets a whim and comes back to compete with him for the world?"
"How can this be?"
Zhu Cilang was dumbfounded. Isn't it possible for the whole family to live together?
Seeing Zhu Cilang's silly look, Chongzhen smiled. At this time, he was just a kind father. He comforted softly: "Silly boy, don't you understand? The young eagle always has to leave its parents before it can transform into a flying one."
Eagles, you will eventually grow up, and you cannot always shelter behind your father, emperor and mother, do you understand?"
Looking at his father's warm smile, Zhu Cilang cried: "Yes, I understand!"
"Just understand. My prince, you should behave well after you leave the palace. Don't disgrace the reputation of my Zhu family. When you have time, go to the palace to see your father, the emperor, and the empress. Do you understand?"
"Kid, remember..."
At this time, Chongzhen didn't look like an emperor at all, but more like a verbose father...
Just when Chongzhen and Queen Zhou were giving many instructions to Zhu Cilang who was about to leave the palace, the fleet that had been idle on Pi Island for more than half a month and was almost rusty finally moved. With ten large treasure ships as the core, the two fleets
A large-scale fleet, supplemented by fifteen Spanish galleons, one hundred large fortune ships, and nearly two hundred fast cruisers, set off from Pi Island and sailed towards Liaodong.
This huge fleet carried two legions, a total of 50,000 troops, sailing on the vast sea. Although the temperature of the sea in October was very low, it was like a docile child. The huge ship sailed on the sea.
It makes people feel very calm.
Wang Zhi stood on the deck of a large treasure ship and looked into the distance calmly. Although he looked calm, he was very uneasy inside. He knew very well that this attack on Liaodong, although Li Yan and others made a fuss in Jinzhou.
, there was a lot of movement, but in fact the main force of the attack was the First Army and the Fifth Army led by him. Li Yan was only a partial army at best, and his contribution to Shengjing actually depended on his two legions.
When he thought that the great task of regaining Liaodong would be accomplished by his own hands, Wang Zhi became so excited that he could not control himself.
"If we can conquer Shengjing in one sentence, the next step must be to send troops to the Southeast Asian countries, right?" Wang Zhi murmured to himself: "Oh, if I can think more about the position, it may not be my share. It's a pity.
Already."
Since joining Pang Gang, under the guidance and attention of Pang Gang, who values education, more and more literate people in the army have become available. Many soldiers can read ordinary letters, or write letters to their families with their crooked letters.
Wrote a letter.
But Wang Zhi was different from them. After Pang Gang hired someone, Wang Zhi, who had a keen temperament, realized immediately that if he wanted to climb higher under Pang Gang's hands in the future, just relying on fighting and killing skills would not work.
You also need knowledge and culture.
But it is easy to say, but not so easy to do. It is simple to learn a few words and then read a letter, but knowledge, culture and cultivation cannot be cultivated overnight. But the king who believes that the stupid bird flies first
Wang Zhi was very unwilling, so he picked up books and studied eagerly whenever he had time. His hard work paid off. After two or three years of hard study, Wang Zhi was finally appointed as an independent general by Pang Gang.
But this was not enough. Wang Zhi's wish was to become a general who commanded countless troops, to expand the territory of China and achieve great fame.
Wang Zhi has been working hard for this wish for a long time. He has a hunch that as long as he can capture Shengjing beautifully in this battle, he will be the first general in Dahua.
"Deng, Deng, Deng..."
A burst of footsteps sounded on the wooden deck, and Wei Jiang, who was fully clothed, walked to Wang Zhi's side.
"General Wang, we are almost arriving in Dandong. Should we order the soldiers to prepare the boats so as not to be in a hurry?"
Wang Zhi nodded: "Okay, I'll bother you, Lord Wei. I estimate that we still have half an hour to prepare. I will go and notify Commander Tu Hai and ask him to prepare the boat and prepare to land."
"Hahaha... What are you preparing for? If you have to worry about even this trivial matter, wouldn't it be for nothing that I, Tu Hai, am the Commander-in-Chief of the Great China Navy?"
While they were talking, a voice sounded behind them, and Tu Hai's muscular figure and dark face appeared behind them.
"Haha... Cao Cao is here!" Wang Zhi also smiled when he turned around and saw Tu Hai. He turned around and said loudly: "Master Tu, we can set foot on Liaodong at noon today.
It is our duty to conquer the land of our country, but we must count on Lord Tu for comfort."
Pang Gang vigorously developed the navy. Over the years, the importance of the navy has gradually been accepted by the army generals, and many transportations have been solved by sea transportation. With 50,000 troops fighting in remote places, the number of people eating and chewing horses every day is an astronomical figure. There is no
With Tu Hai's maritime transportation guaranteed, they might be starving in less than ten days, so that's why Wang Zhi just said those words.
Tu Hai smiled heartily: "General Wang, you're too polite. Just like His Majesty said, it's our navy to protect your army's operations... Well, it's our navy's responsibility. We are all in the army.
Come with so many courtesies!”
Tu Hai is a happy person, which is one of the reasons why he can always hold the first place in the fiercely competitive navy.
Seeing what Tu Hai said, Wang Zhi stopped being rude, and both of them looked at each other and laughed...
After another half an hour, a faint horizon appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Slowly putting down the telescope in his hand, Wang Zhichang exhaled and said: "We have finally arrived in Liaodong, Huang Taiji, Huang Taiji, when I capture Shengjing, I will see where you can run and pass on the order.
Everyone, get ready to get on the boat!"
"woo woo woo woo......."
A long horn sounded on the shore, and the lookouts standing on the ship could clearly see some figures running on the shore through telescopes. It is estimated that the Qing soldiers who stayed on the shore to keep watch had discovered their own.
arrival.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of black smoke rose on the shore and quickly spread into the distance...
ps: A Ding has been thinking about a new book these days, and now he has finally received the editor’s approval. The new book will be available to everyone next month. The content of the new book is still about the modern Anti-Japanese War, and it is still about fighting against the Japanese, and A Ding can’t write about it.
In addition, if I were to write about the love and love between A Ding, I would probably be shocked. Okay, I won’t say too much, please continue to support A Ding! ..)
