"Your Majesty, what did you say? What's not that simple?"
Queen Zhou and others were confused. 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 good care of you. Father is very relieved about this.
But don¡¯t think that everything will be safe with your sister taking care of you in the palace. My father would like to remind you here that after leaving the palace, you can study, do business, farm, or even be a craftsman, but there is one thing you must remember, that is, you must never join the officialdom or join the army. This is a big taboo for those in power. Once we get involved in these two things, we are not 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 never experienced any turmoil and didn't know the dangers of people's hearts. He might not be as smart as his sister. He had no choice but to turn his attention to Wang Chengen and said, "Daban, you'd better 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"
Wang Chengen hasn¡¯t finished speaking yet. He was interrupted by Chongzhen, who waved his hand and said: "Dad companion, Cilang is no longer the prince. He is just a commoner. You should call himcall him young master."
As soon as Chongzhen's words came out, Wang Chengen's eyes turned red and he whispered: "This is."
Calm your mind. Wang Chengencai said: "Young Master, what the Emperor just said is reasonable. Although our Zhu family no longer has the status of righteousness, if we join the army of Dahua or become an official, we will definitely It will be tabooed by the current royal family, and it will also be 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, you are right to listen to your father's words. Our Zhu family has ruled the world for three hundred years, and 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 is happiness."
Queen Zhou's sincere words made Zhu Cilang and others less excited about leaving the palace. He lowered his head and said: "Mother, father, son and ministers, what will you do after they leave the palace? Otherwise, you will follow my sons and ministers. Come out of the palace, let¡¯s live happily as a family.¡±
As soon as Zhu Cilang said this, Chongzhen and others all laughed bitterly. Cao Huachun couldn't help but said: "Sir, 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 want to take my father, the emperor, and my mother out of the palace to share family happiness?" Zhu Cilang was dumbfounded.
"Of course not!"
Cao Huachun had to educate the simple-minded former Ming Dynasty prince: "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 one day 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 yet? An eagle always has to leave its parents before it can transform into a flying one. Eagle, 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, my child understands!¡±
"It's good to understand. Your Majesty, 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?"
"My child remembers"
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 instructions to Zhu Cilang, who was about to leave the palace, they had already brought the rusty ship on the island for more than half a month.The team finally moved. With ten big treasure ships as the core, twenty-five Spanish galleons, one hundred big fortune ships, and nearly two hundred fast cruisers as the supplements, a large-scale fleet set out from Pidao and sailed towards Liaodong. go.
This huge fleet carried two legions, a total of 50,000 troops, sailing on the vast sea. Although the sea temperature 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. He looked calm but felt very uneasy inside. He knew very well that in this attack on Liaodong, although Li Yan and others made a fuss and made a lot of noise in Jinzhou, the main force of the attack was actually the First Army and the Fifth Army led by him. Li Yan was only a small force at best. The partial division, the contribution to Shengjing actually depends on his two legions.
When Wang Zhi thought that the great cause of recovering Liaodong would be completed by his own hands, Wang Zhi was so excited that he couldn't 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. ¡±
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 send their own crooked letters to their families. 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. Although it is simple to learn a few words and then read a letter, knowledge, culture and cultivation cannot be cultivated overnight. But Wang Zhi, who believed that stupid birds fly first, was unwilling to do so, 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 by Pang Gang as the independent guard. general.
But this is not enough. Wang Zhi¡¯s wish is to become a commander in charge of countless troops, 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.
¡°Ding-deng-deng¡¡±
There was a sound of footsteps 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. Do you want to order the soldiers to prepare the boats so as not to be in a hurry?"
Wang Zhi nodded: "Okay, I'll bother you, Sir 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 for landing."
"Hahahawhat 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.
"HahaCao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived!" Turning around and seeing Tu Hai, Wang Zhi also smiled. He turned around and said loudly: "Master Tu, we can set foot on Liaodong at noon today. It is our duty to conquer the city, but we have to 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 army generals, and many transportations have been solved by sea transportation. An army of 50,000 was fighting in a different place, and the amount of food they had to eat every day was an astronomical figure. Without Tuhai's maritime transportation support, they would probably be hungry in less than ten days. 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 is our navy to protect your army's operations Well, it is the responsibility of our navy. 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 highly competitive navy.
Seeing Tu Hai say this, Wang Zhi was no longer rude. The two looked at each other and laughed
After another half an hour, a vague 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"
The long trumpet sound is heardThere was a sound on the ship, and the lookouts standing on the ship could clearly see through the telescope that there were some figures running on the shore. It was estimated that the Qing soldiers who stayed on guard on the shore had discovered their arrival.
Immediately afterwards, streaks of black smoke rose from 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.
