Li Jizu nodded and said quite confidently: "Don't worry, despite the majesty of the Western Thieves, in the end they can only bully the imperial court. They cannot stand still in front of me."
"Huh, you're talking to yourself!"
When Zhu Yixi heard this, he was unhappy and became angry.
"I heard that Sun Kewang is in charge of the Western Army. I don't know whether Zhang Xianzhong is alive or dead. How can we despise him if he can escape to Yunnan and conquer a whole world?"
Seeing that Li Jizu was about to speak but stopped, Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice:
"Remember, take Guizhou and we'll talk about the rest."
After saying this, Zhu Yixi lost interest and waved her hand to let him go.
Li Jizu was quite upset.
When we left Prince Yu's Mansion, it was already dark. Thinking that there was no one on the street, I couldn't help but trust the horse and run, which was quite cool.
After not coming for many days, Xiangyang City becomes more and more exquisite.
That's right, it's exquisite.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of Changsha, Xiangyang City is particularly delicate and careful.
The roads are clean and tidy, and the streets are neatly paved, which is particularly pleasing to the eye. There are almost no extensions to the streets that exceed the regulations, which is in sharp contrast to the roughness of Changsha.
"I heard that even the height of the flag and the height of the threshold are strictly restricted. It is worthy of being the center of the shogunate."
Li Jizu was filled with emotions.
At this time, suddenly a group of patrolmen in soap uniforms in front of him spotted him and ran over in a hurry, with a fierce attitude.
"not good!"
Seeing this, he panicked.
Of course he understood that these people were members of the newly formed Public Security Bureau in Xiangyang City.
The so-called Public Security Bureau is responsible for maintaining order and apprehending important criminals. It is an important supplement to the yamen in the judicial field.
In terms of status, he is second only to the county magistrate and parallel to the county magistrate and Zhu Bo, so he is very popular.
Although he is from the county, this is in Xiangyang City, at the feet of the emperor as the saying goes. If he is caught, he will lose a lot of face.
Thinking of this, the horse under his crotch also speeded up and galloped.
He got rid of them almost instantly.
Returning to the house rewarded by King Yu, Li Jizu took a breath and finally escaped.
"Tou, just let him go like this?"
Several big men in soap clothes were running panting, carrying waist knives and wearing leather boots, looking very impressive.
"So what if I don't let him go? Can a man outrun a horse?"
The leading man had no choice but to sneer and say: "In the past month, our Public Security Bureau has been so powerful that no matter who breaks the rules, he will be arrested. How can this person escape at night?"
According to the rules of Xiangyang City, no one is allowed to do business or roam the streets after the first watch of the day.
After the establishment of the Public Security Bureau, he dared to fight hard and captured many government officials and wealthy businessmen, establishing a great reputation.
Everyone knows that behind the Public Security Bureau stands His Royal Highness Prince Yu.
Li Jizu was lucky,
But he forgot that horses are rare in the south and they all have a certain number.
The next day, he was found out and was severely reprimanded by King Yu. He left Xiangyang with a look of helplessness on his face.
When they came to Xiangyang together, they were punished.
"When we take Guizhou, we will come back in glory."
Li Jizu shouted.
Not long after he left, Zhu Yixi summoned Zhao Shu, the head of the Military and Political Department, with a solemn expression.
"The news coming from Beijing is that Jiannu may not give up."
"ah?"
Zhao Shu was stunned, frowning and said: "This is not in line with common sense. We were defeated last year. Jiannu should recuperate his energy. Why not be afraid of trouble if he is so aggressive?"
Prince Yu sat and glanced at Sun Changzhou lightly.
Sun Changzhou understood the idea and said respectfully: "Sir, after the Jinyi Guards in Beijing were disbanded, they were reorganized into various parties. They were favored by the emperor and surrendered as a last resort, and they passed on a lot of news."
"It is said that the slave chief Dorgon was furious and threatened that he would never give up. Now he is working hard to prepare food and prepare for the expedition."
"Are they attacking Western thieves?" Zhao Shu said with a hint of luck.
"Not sure." Sun Changzhou said bluntly: "I heard that he has prepared many ships..."
"this--"
Zhao Shu changed his expression: "Is Jiannu preparing to attack the imperial court?"
"Anyway, the power of the intruders is declining, and the troops and horses have suffered serious losses. Why do you want to attack the imperial court?"
"Besides, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the four towns of Jiangbei. Even if they shrink again, they are still better than intruders, right?"
When Zhao Shu heard the news, he felt unbelievable.
Usually they bully the weak and fear the strong, but why do they attack the weak instead? Jiannu must have lost his mind!
"Better than a burglar?"
Zhu Yixi laughed, as if this was a big joke.
Historically, the four towns in Jiangbei were defeated in less than two months. Duduo marched straight in and captured the city of Nanjing with almost no effort.
Of course, it was precisely because the speed was too fast that the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not establish rule, and rebellions and uprisings continued.
Nearly half of the officers and soldiers surrendered, but it was the camp in the later period, the Western Camp, that became the main force of the Ming Dynasty.
I have to say that this is really a joke in history, but it just happened.
This shows how overbearing and unreasonable the early Manchu Qing Dynasty was in dealing with ethnic issues.
"My Mr. Zhao!"
Zhu Yixi shook his head and said solemnly: "Now Hong Chengchou is in Luoyang, Henan, which is connected to Huaibei. How could there be no action?"
It is the most basic thing to combine vertically and horizontally.
"In fact, according to the information from the Search Section, Jiannu has sent people to Xi'an. After a long time of hard work, he must have gained something. This is why I am sure that Jiannu is determined to be in Nanjing."
Zhu Yixi directly showed off his cards, with a look of worry on his face: "The red land in Henan is thousands of miles away, and there is a defense line in Fangcheng Mountain. I have nothing to worry about. I am only worried about the restless intruders."
"Intruder?"
This time, Zhao Shu raised his voice a lot: "Is Li Zicheng so ignorant?"
"Huh, even the imperial court wants to unite with the captives to suppress the bandits. There is nothing Li Zicheng dare not do."
Zhu Yixi said disdainfully: "Apart from Li Yan, I don't think there are many far-sighted counselors under Li Zicheng. The barren Shaanxi cannot satisfy him."
"I can be sure that he has always been thinking of losing money in the north and making up for it in the south."
At that time, the Jin Kingdom had the same idea. It was surrounded by Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty, and was bullied by Mongolia. It did not want to improve its relations with the Southern Song Dynasty, but wanted to make up for its losses.
As a result, the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice but to attack the Jin Kingdom from both sides in order to take revenge.
Typical suicide attempt.
"So unwise!" Zhao Shu stood up, walked a few steps, and said helplessly: "It seems that our troops have to guard against intruders, and we have no time to be of much help to the court."
"Even if I want to help, I won't let you."
Zhu Yixi shook his head. With tens of thousands of troops heading east, Nanjing would never be able to sleep peacefully.
"Do your best and obey fate!"
Zhu Yixi pretended to lament: "I have already written to the court to pay attention to the creation of slaves. I have tried my best."
"However, Chief Zhao, our shogunate should be more careful about intruders."
Zhu Yixi looked at Zhao Shu who was deep in thought and said with a hint of meaning.
