Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 27 The Biggest Household in the Capital
Inside the Hall of Martial Arts.

"You want to ask Mr. Hao for advice?" Chongzhen asked.

"En." Auntie Zhu nodded.

"Then contact him."

Auntie Zhu immediately sent a video invitation to Hao Guangming.

The video was connected quickly, and Hao Guangming appeared on the phone. Looking at the background, he seemed to be in the old house.

"what's up?"

Chong Zhen spoke up before Aunt Zhu, and said, "Mr. Hao, we scolded Li Zicheng with the stereo earlier, but it didn't seem to hurt his army's morale. Instead, the intruders attacked the city aggressively at that time."

Obviously, Chongzhen was asking Hao Guangming for an explanation.

Hao Guangming was a little speechless after hearing this, and asked, "Then can you hold on?"

Chongzhen recalled the last scene he saw before leaving, and said: "The thieves seem to be ants attacking the city. The inner city wall is tall and strong, and it should be able to hold it for the time being."

Hao Guangming pondered for a while, and then said, "Have you ever thought about why the Chuangjun didn't attack the city in a big way before, but Li Zicheng immediately attacked the city after being scolded?"

Chongzhen was not too stupid, after being reminded by Hao Guangming, his eyes lit up after a little thought: "Are the intruders angry?"

Hao Guangming smiled and said: "That's right, Li Zicheng must have been angry, and he was very angry. You must know that the words I scolded him have been verified, and they are not false."

Thinking of Li Zicheng being angry and angry, Chongzhen couldn't help being a little happy.

But then he couldn't help but said: "But he is still aggressively attacking the city?"

Hao Guangming said: "There is a saying in the book of war that 'the general will not raise troops because of anger' - Li Zicheng did not make a big attack on the city before, he must have not prepared enough, but now he ordered a large-scale attack on the city because of anger, it will definitely cause the Chuang army a lot of losses , isn't this a good thing?
In addition, I guess he did this because he was worried that the soldiers would talk about his bad things.

Even if the soldiers of the Chuang army are ordered to attack the city now, there will be a time when they will stop. At that time, recalling what I said to Li Zicheng, the morale of the Chuang army will still be damaged. "

Chongzhen nodded at first, then sighed: "It's a pity that this move can't turn the tide of the battle."

Hao Guangming shook his head secretly when he heard this, and said, "Didn't I analyze it a long time ago, and now I can't help you turn things around.

All you can do now is to fight for two more days to see if there are reinforcements, or to break through, or to prepare for the funeral. "

Although he knew that what Hao Guangming said was true, Chongzhen still had an ugly face when he heard it.

Auntie Zhu felt that the atmosphere was not right, so she immediately interjected, "Didn't Father want to ask Mr. Hao how to solve the food shortage?"

Only then did Chongzhen think of something serious, so he told Hao Guangming about the lack of food in the city.

After listening, Hao Guangming thought for a while before saying: "Ni Yuanlu is right. You have a small army now, so you definitely can't forcefully collect food from the whole city. Once too many people resist, you should cooperate with Li Zicheng, and the inner city will immediately will fall.

However, now that things are going on, you can find one or two big households that have grain reserves, and copy their money and grain to top it off first. "

Chongzhen frowned upon hearing this, "Isn't it not enough for just one or two big households?"

Hao Guangming smiled and said, "Of course not for ordinary wealthy households, but what if it is the largest wealthy household in the capital?"

'The biggest big family in the capital?Isn't that my Zhu family's royal family? '

Puzzled, Chongzhen asked, "Which one is the master talking about?"

Seeing that Chongzhen didn't understand, Hao Guangming stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Cheng."

Upon hearing this, Chongzhen's eyes lit up again, with murderous intent.

Because he remembered what Hao Guangming said before, about Cheng Guogong Zhu Chunchen persuading Li Zicheng to join him.

Although Zhu Chunchen entered Beijing and was still in charge of the Jingying camp, there were only more than 1 people left in the Jingying camp after Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen experienced the defeat of Shahe outside the city, and it is estimated that there were only a few thousand soldiers capable of fighting.

In the past two days, he sent Li Banghua to be in charge of the soldiers in the city, and Shi Bangyao and Wang Jiayan to assist the army to defend the city. Zhu Chunchen has been given a lot of power.

Therefore, to take down Zhu Chunchen at this time, as long as the plan is proper, there should be no problem.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen said, "I know what to do."

However, Hao Guangming couldn't help reminding: "You'd better be more cautious, you can pass Zhu Chunchen to the palace to take him down first, and then send someone to raid the house."

Chongzhen nodded, "I have exactly that intention."

"Then I'll be busy if I have nothing to do." While talking, Hao Guangming turned the camera of his phone, "I made an aluminum alloy wardrobe, and I plan to hide all the treasures sent by the princess in it, otherwise, if outsiders come to the house and see these treasures It's troublesome."

Only then did Chongzhen and Zhu Yuxi notice that Hao Guangming was wearing unlined clothing, with sweat on his forehead, and looked like he was working.

So he said: "Then Mr. Hao, let's go."

Then he signaled Aimee Zhu to hang up the video.

···
Ni Yuanlu vaguely heard a conversation coming from the hall, but it seemed that it was Chongzhen talking to a man.

This made Ni Yuanlu wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.

After all, there are only Chongzhen and Aimee Zhu in the hall, so how could there be another man's voice?
Before Ni Yuanlu could figure it out, the gate of the Hall of Martial Heroes opened.

"Elder Ni Ge, my father invites you to enter the palace to discuss matters."

Ni Yuanlu didn't say much to Auntie Zhu, and walked in after a little salute.

After a while, Aunt Zhu came out again with a handbook, ordering a Jinyi pro-army to summon Li Ruolian, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and Wang Guoxing, the commander of the Shangzhi Army (Jinyi's pro-army).

Wang Guoxing was in charge of guarding the Imperial City and the Forbidden City, so he arrived first.

Li Ruolian also arrived not long after.

The Jinyi soldiers and eunuchs guarding near the Wuying Hall realized that Chongzhen should be discussing some important matter with these people, but because the voice in the hall was too low, they couldn't hear anything and couldn't guess.

Among them, even those who have been placed by foreign ministers have lost their effect for a while...

Zhu Chunchen, as the Governor-General of the Jingying Rongzheng, was not idle when the Chuangjun attacked the city, but he was not on the city wall, but in a camp near the Chaoyang Gate in the inner city.

There is a high wall of more than four feet in front, and the camp is quite a distance from the inner city wall, so it is still very safe.

The barracks of the chief officer of this camp has been repaired and rebuilt for many years, and it is quite spacious and comfortable.

But Zhu Chunchen sat on the handsome chair with a frowning expression.

Because he could see that the inner city might not last for a few days.

Once the inner city is broken, the Ming Dynasty will be over, at least in the north.

He regrets very much now, why he didn't persuade Chongzhen to go to the south earlier - because only when Chongzhen agreed to move the capital to the south, he could follow and lead his family and part of his property to the south.

It's a pity that I'm trapped in the capital now, and it's too late to regret it.

'Hey, why is my family the Duke of Ming Dynasty?If it is just a civil servant or an ordinary military general, he only needs to open a city gate and kneel down to welcome Li Zicheng, not to mention continuing to be a dignitary, it will be no problem to save his wealth and life, right? '

'But I happen to be the most prominent nobleman in Ming Dynasty, the dignified Duke of the state, and I was entrusted with important tasks by Chongzhen.If Li Zicheng calls in, how can I have any good fruit? '

"if···"

Not knowing what thoughts came to mind, Zhu Chunchen couldn't help clenching his fists and swallowing his saliva.

boom!
Another sound of shells hitting the city wall woke Zhu Chunchen up.

Immediately, he slapped the table and stood up, obviously making up his mind to do something.

Walking out of this large and comfortable barracks, he looked in the direction of Chaoyang Gate.

It was guarded by his cronies, and it was his retreat.

It was a foolproof thing at first, but unfortunately since Wang Jiayan, the minister of the Ministry of War, was appointed to assist the Beijing camp yesterday, there have been some changes in the generals and soldiers of Chaoyangmen.

But it doesn't matter, his people still occupy the majority.

As long as you find the right time and do it suddenly, you should be able to get things done.

Just as Zhu Chunchen was looking in the direction of Chaoyang Gate, frowning and meditating, he saw several soldiers in brocade clothes walking towards this side.

When the leading hundred households saw him, they showed the emperor's handbook and said, "Mr. Cheng, your Majesty's handbook asks you to go to the Hall of Martial Arts to discuss matters immediately."

"understood."

Zhu Chunchen took the letter casually, looked at it, and then took a few soldiers on horseback and followed Jinyi's troops out of the camp.
