Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 621
Seeing Tianjin local officials knelt down and chanted Your Majesty.

Qi Jiguang was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized that these officials must have thought that the Holy One had returned triumphantly.

When someone sees the Holy One, Qi Jiguang will definitely not be able to speak, and the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty is still behind.

Qi Jiguang stood aside, and Zhu Cihong appeared in front of everyone.

Zhu Cihong walked quickly to the Tianjin Governor Wang Zhang who was kneeling in front of him, and bent down to help him up:

"My lord, please get up quickly, let's all get back together! It will take some time for the father to return victorious."

Wang Zhang knelt on the ground and lowered his head when he suddenly heard a voice that seemed familiar.

He looked up, only to see a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young general helping him up.

He was somewhat familiar with the young general's face, but he couldn't remember where he saw it.

"Your Majesty hasn't come back, so you are?"

Zhu Cijiong, as the crown prince, and as the former censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Wang Zhang has met several times.

It's just that the crown prince has been missing for so long, everyone dare not say it, and they already think in their hearts that he was killed by rogues.

Now he suddenly appeared dressed as a general, how could Wang Zhang connect him with the prince.

But what Zhu Cihong said about Ben Gong and father made Wang Zhang completely confused.

The local officials following him were even more confused than Wang Zhang.

They were originally there to welcome the emperor, but before the emperor arrived, a person who called the emperor Father appeared instead.

If they hadn't seen Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo and others, these local officials would definitely think that someone was pretending to be the prince.

Wang Zhang looked up at Zhu Cihong, with his mouth open, and it took him a long time to utter two words:
"you are……"

Zhu Cihong could understand the behavior of these local officials, but he would be just as confused if it were the other way around.

"My lord, Zhu Cihong, the crown prince of this palace, has been away from the capital for almost two years, and now he is back."

"God! It's true that the prince Zhu Cihong has returned, and the prince is not dead..."

The local official who got up just now fell to his knees again:
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Holy Majesty is blessed, and the Ming Dynasty is long live..."

After confirming the identity of the prince, Tianjin officials kowtowed to the prince one after another.

And tears flowed from many people's eyes, the emperor has a queen.

Zhu Cihong didn't know whether their tears were sincere or fake, and he was very excited, and helped Wang Zhang up again:

"Everyone please get up quickly, the boat behind is full of grain, you immediately arrange manpower, use all available carriages in Tianjin, and send the grain to the northwest of Daming as soon as possible."

"Obey, Your Highness and the soldiers have worked hard all the way and go to rest, and the rest will be arranged immediately."

Half a month of sailing is still very hard, now it's time for them to take a rest.

Tianjin also has an army and can recruit local young people.

When Wang Zhang gave an order, the army and civilians in Tianjin immediately began to act.

Soon, thousands of Ming troops arrived, all of them were sent by the Ministry of War to support them.

They first unloaded the grain from the merchant ships, and then the imperial court would send troops to transport the grain to the northwest with them.

The navy officers and men rested in place, but Zhu Cihong, Qi Jiguang, Zhang Huangyan and others did not rest in Tianjin, but straddled their horses and went straight to the capital.

The news of the triumphant return of the army had long been announced by the Da Ming Daily, and the people along the way were arrogantly welcoming them.

Although it was not a local battle, the victory of the Ming army's expedition still made all patriots feel excited.

The army galloped all the way, and at a place more than ten miles away from the capital, a large army blocked the way.

The leader is none other than Sun Chuanting, the chief assistant of the Ming cabinet.

Beside him are Sun Chengzong, Minister of the Ministry of War, Meng Zhaoxiang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Ministry of Households, Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and so on.

It can be said that the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are almost all the principals and assistants of each yamen.

Seeing the Daming Dragon Flag flying high in the distance, they immediately got off their horses and sedan chairs and waited by the roadside.

Qi's army led the way, Zhu Cihong and Li Dingguo's Dragon Banner Army were in the middle, and Huang Degong led the Longteng Army to the rear.

The majestic and majestic army

Appeared in front of civil and military personnel welcoming the triumphant army.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately shouted, look at the Holy Majesty leading the army back in triumph, it is really majestic!This is my Great Ming Army, the Ming Army is mighty...

The civil and military ministers who welcomed the triumphant army immediately bowed and waited for the emperor to appear.

Qi Jiguang waved his hand to stop the army, and urged the horse to stand in front of Zhu Cihong, clapping his hands and laughing:

"Your Highness, almost all the civil and military personnel of the court have come to welcome you."

How could Zhu Cihong not know that they were here to greet his father.

Hearing what Qi Jiguang said, he smiled slightly and said:

"General, they are here to welcome the emperor, how can I, He De, let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty come out of the capital to welcome them!"

Sun Chuanting Qi Jiguang and other soldiers exchanged their lives and blood for the precarious Ming Dynasty.

In order to show respect for them, Zhu Cihong dismounted from his horse, and accompanied by Qi Jiguang, Li Dingguo, Huang Degong, Zhang Huangyan and other generals, he came down in front of Sun Chuanting and the others.

Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong and others all received battle reports saying that the army had triumphantly returned and asked their troops to go to Tianjin to deliver disaster relief food.

The battle report did not state that the emperor was not included, and they did not know about the prince's arrival.

Seeing Qi Jiguang and others approaching them surrounded by a young general, Sun Chuanting and others were taken aback.

Then he clasped his hands and said with a smile:

"General Qi, where is Your Majesty?"

Qi Jiguang laughed loudly:
"Master Sun, His Majesty hasn't returned yet, take a look who is here?"

As Qi Jiguang said, he pointed to the prince Zhu Cihong beside him.

Sun Chuanting and others heard that the emperor had not returned, so they focused their attention on Zhu Cihong.

The young general seemed familiar, he was young and aggressive, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance.

It is estimated that it is not the descendant of the general, or the descendant of the prince.

"Familiar, but can't remember where I saw it..."

It's not that Sun Chuanting and the others are forgetful, but that Zhu Cihong's appearance has changed drastically.

The frail scholar in the past, the majestic prince of the Ming Dynasty, has now become a well-trained heroic general.

If they don't know the inside story, no one would dare to associate him with the missing prince Zhu Cihong.

Qi Jiguang pretended to be deep, and didn't talk at this time, and didn't introduce to everyone.

Zhu Cihong took a step forward. In order to express his gratitude to these great Ming pillars, he cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"Thank you, my lords, for devoting so much effort for Daming, I am the crown prince Zhu Cihong..."

"Too... Prince..."

Zhu Cihong's words stunned all the civil and military officials who came to greet him.

You can hear the sound of dropping a needle quietly at the scene.

"Prince? How could it be a prince?"

This was the only thought in the minds of the civil and military officials at this moment. Apart from this thought, their minds were blank.

Seeing everyone's silly looks, Qi Jiguang laughed loudly:

"Colleagues, he is really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, why don't you come over to see him!"

Only then did the civil and military officials react from their bewilderment, and hastily stepped forward to bow and salute:

"See Your Royal Highness!"

"Your Highness, you are His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... You are finally back... Woooo..."

Ministers Meng Zhaoxiang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households and other ministers who were very loyal to Daming moved forward on their knees, and came to Zhu Cihong to let go and cry loudly.
