I will be the prince at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 137

In Shuntian Mansion, Yanjing City, Qianqing Palace, the ten-year-old little emperor Aixinjueluo Xuanye sat on the dragon chair behind the Dragon Book Case with a nervous expression on his face.

Sitting next to him were the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, the mother Empress Dowager Borzigit, and the Holy Mother Empress Dowager Tong Jia (Xuanye's biological mother).

Standing in the hall are the assistant ministers Soni and Ye Bilong, and the other assistant minister Oboi is disheveled and his armor is stained with blood, kneeling in front of the Longshu case, crying loudly: "Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes. Fighting, [-] troops, [-] are serving, the criminals only gathered [-] remnants and returned, please punish the crime, Your Majesty!"

Although the ten-year-old little emperor Xuan Ye is very intelligent, he is still young after all. Hearing Oboi say that in the first battle of Daming Mansion, there were [-] troops. After the first battle, only [-] fled back in embarrassment. , he hastily turned his head to his biological mother, the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager Tong Jia, and cast a begging look.

But his biological mother, Tong Jia, was just an unfavored concubine in the palace, and she was born in the Zhenglan Banner of the Han Army, with a low status, where she dared to participate in such military and state affairs, she quickly looked at the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang.

Xiaozhuang has experienced many storms and waves, although he was shocked in his heart, he still looked immobile on the surface, and said: "Oboi, tell the Ai family what happened in this battle, why did my [-] warriors collapse in one battle?" .”

Aobai Jishou said: "Empress Dowager, the Ming army's muskets are really sharp. Not only are they extremely fast, but they also have a range of more than two hundred feet, while our bows and arrows are less than one hundred feet away. It's a one-sided massacre!" The five thousand and eight banner cavalry raided the Ming army formation, and there were more than [-] casualties within a cup of tea. The minister sent another [-] cavalry to attack from both wings. During the meal time... just... the entire army was wiped out by the Ming army's muskets. .

Before the ministers organized the third attack, the Ming army sent tens of thousands of musketeers to the formation, and the musket bullets rained down, and the sons and daughters fell to death under the muskets of the Ming people.

The minister ordered the red-clothed cannons to bombard the attacking Ming army musketeers. However, the Ming army's artillery not only had a longer range, but also their artillery fired full of flowering shells. The cannon in red was blown into a pile of scrap iron by the shells of the Ming army.

And the artillery of the Ming army hit the gunpowder piled up on our position, causing a big explosion, and the whole position was blown into a mess. The green battalion soldiers took the opportunity to rebel and disrupted our army formation. The Ming army also took the opportunity to attack. The minister could not resist , I have no choice but to retreat to preserve my strength, otherwise, the [-] army will be wiped out! "

When the mother, empress dowager Borzigit, and the holy mother, the empress dowager Tong Jia, heard what Oboi said, their little faces turned pale with fright, and they trembled all over. They knew that once the Ming army invaded Yanjing, their fate would be certain. It won't be so wonderful, it's okay to just cut off the head, and it's a hundred deaths.

If they were caught by the Ming army and subjected to all kinds of humiliation, their lives would be worse than death. If they were beaten into the Jiaofang Division, where thousands of people would ride and ten thousand people would sleep, it would be even more embarrassing for the royal family. So at this time, they all panicked.

Xiaozhuang was also terrified in her heart, she did not expect that the Ming army, which was beaten to the ground a few years ago, would be completely reborn in just two or three years, and they would be able to win the battle easily.

But she knew that the emperor was still young and could not do anything, if she messed up any more, the great country would collapse overnight, and she would still have to meet her ancestors with her face.

So Xiao Zhuang pretended to be calm, and said: "Sony, Ye Bilong, and Aobai, you three got the emperor's last order to assist the young emperor, how do you think we should deal with this crisis now?"

Sonny, Ebilong, and Aobai looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't have any good ideas for a while.

It's not right to say that they have no idea at all, they already have some ideas in their hearts, but how could they be able to open their mouths, the Qianqing palace fell silent for a while, and a needle could be heard.

As time went by, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more heavy, making it hard to breathe.

Seeing that he didn't want to take the risk, Aobai thought about it again and again, and finally, with a heartless heart, he kowtowed and said, "The Empress Dowager, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not."

How angry is Xiaozhuang!It's such a time, you, Oboi, don't hurry up when you have something to say, you don't hurry up when you fart, you hesitate, you don't look like the number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty, you are clearly a clown who was gutted by the Ming army, it's so disgusting.

However, after so many years of ups and downs, Xiaozhuang has long practiced that no matter how big the incident is, she will sit on the Diaoyutai without any surprises, so that people can't see her true inner thoughts.

So she said: "Just tell the Qing family, so we can all take a closer look."

Aobai kowtowed again and said, "The Ming army is fierce and unstoppable. The [-] troops of the false Ming prince Zhu Cixuan alone have defeated our [-] Eight Banners warriors. There are also the false Ming Jin king Li Dingguo and the false Ming Gongchang king Bai Wenxuan. The [-] army has also approached Yingtian Mansion.

Now we have less than [-] Eight Banners warriors in Yanjing City. Although there are nearly [-] Green Battalion soldiers, they are very likely to renege on the battlefield during the war, so we cannot rely on them.

With our [-] Eight Banners warriors, it is difficult to resist the ferocious puppet Ming army, so I suggest that the emperor, the queen mother, and the empress dowager should go to Shengjing for the northern hunting while the Spring Festival is over. "

okay!Beishou, Aobai really came up with a good idea. What Beishou means is that the Spring Festival has passed, and spring is coming soon. The emperor, the queen mother, and the empress dowager should stop being bored in the palace all day. Wouldn't it be nice to play, hunt, and relax on the road.

This is the same as when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded Beijing on August 1900, 8; in the early morning of the next day, when they attacked the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, Cixi fled to Xi'an with Emperor Guangxu, the Empress and others, and carried out the so-called west hunting. .

But it sounds good in name, taking into account the face of the royal family.

When Ao Bai said this, Suo Ni and Ye Bilong cursed in their hearts, but they also secretly raised their thumbs up.

Damn, this old bastard, Oboi, has a flexible head, and even such things as escaping, he said so grandiosely, with awe-inspiring righteousness, and he has to be admired, what a talent!I, Sony, and I, Ye Bilong, never thought of such talented people.These two guys were extremely upset and regretful.

The two empress dowagers were also overjoyed, yes!Go Kita!At this critical moment, Oboi is quite discerning.

While each of them was secretly happy, they cast their eyes on the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, and they agreed that they couldn't do it!The empress dowager must agree.

While Xiaozhuang cursed in his heart, he was also overjoyed, this Oboi finally found a good excuse, so he asked calmly, "What's the idea of ​​Sir Sony and Ye Bilong?"

Suo Ni and Ye Bilong were bitter in their hearts, it seemed that the two of them could not escape, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and kowtow: "My lord Oboi's words are true, the emperor, the empress dowager, and the empress dowager, it is better to take advantage of the warm spring When the flowers are blooming, let the emperor enjoy the beauty of our ancestral land."

"Hmm!" Xiao Zhuang made a heavy nasal voice, and said, "Since the three co-administrators all think that Shengjing should go north, let's do it accordingly!"

Suo Ni, Ye Bilong, and Aobai kowtowed and said: "I would like to abide by the order of the Empress Dowager. Tomorrow, the Emperor, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager will go north to visit Shengjing."

Xiao Zhuang nodded in disbelief...

On that day, the entire Yanjing Imperial Palace was in chaos. The maids and eunuchs were so busy that they were all on their feet. Large and small bags, large and small boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, pearls and jade were all loaded into carriages.

The next day, at noon, Sony and E Bilong led the [-] Banner elites to escort the little emperor Xuan Ye, the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and the empress dowager out of Yanjing City, all the way north, across the Shanhaiguan Pass, and headed straight for Shengjing.

……

On this side, the Tartar Emperor is busy running away, while on the other side, our prince Zhu Cixuan is sleeping leisurely with his arms around Qing Chan and Qing Yu, who have just changed from a big girl to a woman.

Because everything that needs to be arranged has been arranged, and Zhang Huangyan has government affairs, so he doesn't have to worry about it.

In the military affairs, Zhang Liao and others were busy reorganizing the nearly [-] green battalion soldiers who surrendered. Anyway, Yanjing was already in sight, and the recovery of Yanjing was just around the corner, and there was no need to rush for a day or two.

So Zhu Cixuan also took a leisurely time, wandering around the military camp during the day, wandering around the Yamen of Daming Mansion, and learning about the customs and customs on the streets of Daming Mansion.

In the evening, I trained and trained the three maids, and I lived a very comfortable life.

In addition, there were two prize draws, a loyalty card was drawn by spending 100 gold coins, and a blueprint of a wooden three-masted sailing battleship was drawn by spending 1000 gold coins.

The ship has a total length of 62.2 meters, a width of 13.6 meters, a molded depth of 6.85 meters, a displacement of 2200 tons, and a speed of 13 knots per hour (24km/h).

帆面积3969平方米，装备30门24磅长管炮，20门32磅短炮，2门24磅艏艉炮，船员450人。

Zhu Cixuan was overjoyed when he saw it. This three-masted sailing warship can be said to be very advanced. Both the number of equipped artillery and its speed have greatly surpassed the three-masted gunships currently manufactured by the Ming army.So I carefully put it away in the system space, and prepared to return to Jiangning and hand it over to Longjiang Shipyard for Song Yingxing, Wang Chengyuan and others to study it carefully, build one, and try out its performance.

Zhu Cixuan lazily got up only after the sun was high, and it really is the tomb of heroes in Wenrou Township, what he said is true!
At Shenshi in the afternoon, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, Cai Jiuyi, Cao Xing and others rushed to find Zhu Cixuan, which made Zhu Cixuan very surprised, and asked, "Everyone, what happened? Why are you in such a panic?"

Several people looked at each other, Chen Gong arched his hands and said, "Your Highness is overjoyed!"

Now Zhu Cixuan was even more surprised, and said: "Oh, why do you like it? Stop playing charades, tell me quickly."

Chen Gong couldn't hold back his joy any longer, and said: "Your Highness, just now there is news that the young emperor of the Tartars fled Yanjing City in a hurry yesterday afternoon under the escort of [-] Tartar cavalry, heading towards Shanhaiguan. went."

"What? Kangxi ran away." Zhu Cixuan was really surprised now, he didn't expect that Kangxi would also run away.
