Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 146
"puff."

Zhu Cijiong slipped and fell into the muddy water.

After falling to the ground, Zhu Cijiong subconsciously wanted to get up, but he couldn't get up.

It was the long-term march that caused a serious overdraft of physical fitness. You must know that this was a rainy night march. In addition to physical energy consumption, there was also a loss of body temperature caused by the rain, which can be described as a double critical blow.

After all, Zhu Cijiong was a thirteen-year-old child and couldn't bear it anymore.

Wang Chengen, who was walking beside him, wanted to reach out subconsciously, but was stopped by Chongzhen.

Chongzhen took a step back and looked down at Zhu Cijiong, and said solemnly: "Jionger, you are the prince, I will make an exception and give you one more chance to choose. If you regret it now, I will send you back to Nanjing immediately."

"Father, who do you look down on?" Zhu Cijiong's face instantly collapsed.

Clenching his teeth, Zhu Cijiong let out a low growl like an enraged lion cub.

Then he got up little by little, and when he stood firmly, he staggered forward. The first few steps were still a little unstable, and it seemed that he might fall at any time, but soon, Zhu Ci stabilized his body, and his steps changed firm.

"His Royal Highness King Ding is also a real dragon." Wang Chengen wiped his nose, and did not know whether it was rain or tears that flowed on his face?
"Wang Daban, what are you doing?" Chongzhen laughed at Wang Chengen, but turned his head and felt his nose sore, just now he was really touched by the child Zhu Cijiong.

Undoubtedly, the brutal facts of the fall of the capital and the overthrow of the ancestral state gave Zhu Cihong and Zhu Cijiong great spiritual stimulation, which inspired the tenacity and blood in the soul of the two. What does it mean to be ruined?So if you are willing to give up your life to protect this country, and you are willing to endure all the pain for this goal, what is a mere march in suffering?

However, moving is one thing, testing is another.

The straight-line distance from Nanjing to Xuzhou is only [-] miles. The actual road mileage must be more than [-] miles, but it will not exceed [-] miles. Therefore, no matter how difficult or slow the march is, it will only take [-] days. !
And this is far from Chongzhen's goal. What Chongzhen wants is at least two months of suffering march.

Two months later, when this group of King Qin scholars have tasted all kinds of hardships and finally reached Xuzhou, they will find that fighting seems to be easier than marching.

In short, even if there were no difficulties, Chongzhen would create difficulties.

Without the [-]-mile Long March, there would be no Eighth Route Army and the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

In the same way, if there is no suffering march that lasts for more than two months, you will not be able to temper a group of hard-working scholars, and you will not be able to support the backbone of the Ming Dynasty!

In fact, Chongzhen thought that the time of two months was too short.

If conditions permit, Chongzhen even wants to extend this period of suffering march to more than half a year.

It's a pity that Jiannu's army will go south in October, and because of the appearance of him as a time traveler, or more precisely because of the appearance of the Zhaolu Zhao, Jiannu is likely to list Daming as the main target.

In this case, the Xuzhou defense line will be under unprecedented military pressure.

Therefore, Chongzhen had to bring Qin Wang Shizi to help Xuzhou before October.

Therefore, Chongzhen only had more than two months to polish the prince Qin.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen immediately beckoned Wubatan to come forward, and ordered: "Wubatan, pass on my order, and the whole army will turn west to Luzhou Mansion."

"Huh? Luzhou Mansion?"

When Wang Chengen heard this, his expression froze.

The road to Luzhou Prefecture is very difficult, it is a mountainous area!

Also, what are you going to do in Luzhou Prefecture?Can't we just go north?
But Wu Batan didn't say a word of unnecessary nonsense, and as soon as he agreed, he hit his horse and galloped away.

Immediately, Chongzhen's decree was passed down quickly: the emperor has a decree, all go to Luzhou Mansion!
……

"What? To Luzhou Mansion?"

Fang Yizhi, Wu Yingji and other descendants of the aristocratic family were immediately dumbfounded.

Gu Gao is even worse, what is the Holy One doing?Are you deliberately tossing us?
"I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" Gu Gao's son-in-law lost his temper again, walked to a stone beside the official road and sat down, and said in a bad mood, "It's fine to march in rainy days, and we can't march at night if we don't let us eat. I endured it, but now I suddenly want to turn around and go west to the Luzhou Mansion, isn't this a deliberate attempt to dissuade people?"

Wu Yingji and others deeply felt the same, but dared not speak out.

Only Gu Gao, a stunned young man, dared to say anything.

"Gu Zifang!" Wu Batan and Gu Gao cooperated to grab the clay stick, so they recognized each other.

Wu Batan had already grasped the handle of the knife with his right hand, and said murderously, "Are you trying to resist the edict?"

"I'm just..." Gu Gao originally wanted to say that I just wanted to resist the edict?But as soon as he met Wu Batan's eyes, he immediately swallowed the second half of the words back to his stomach.

Wu Yingji and the others were also aware of the danger, and rushed forward to pull Gu Gao up again.

"Master Wu, please don't get me wrong, Zifang has absolutely no intention of resisting or disobeying the order, we will leave now." Wu Yingji and Mao Xiang supported Gu Gao from left to right and walked forward, fearing that Wu would pull out the charcoal if there was any disagreement. Knife cut people.

Wu Batan snorted, beat his horse forward and continued to deliver his message.

"Brother Zifang, please be patient." Mao Xiang persuaded Gu Gao, "I don't believe this is the original intention of the Holy One. When the Holy One first arrived in Nanjing, how much did the Holy One value my generation of scholars? How could he come up with such a trick to torment us?"

"Yes, yes, brother Pijiang is right." Wu Yingji agreed.

"This must be a treacherous villain who has slandered the Holy One, and we will definitely rise up and fight against it."

After repeated persuasion by several sons and brothers, Gu Gao finally calmed down, and walked forward with a dark face.

However, after turning to the west and not far away, we ran into big trouble, because the road to Luzhou Mansion was not the kind of cobblestone paved road, but a dirt road, which was muddy or even mire when it rained.

Such a dirt road is very strenuous for people and horses, let alone a carriage.

But Qin Wang Shizi brought a lot of carriages, and as a result, these carriages were all confined in the quagmire.

The carriages were loaded with ordnance and supplies, including the marching rations of King Qin's scholars.

Seeing that the carriage was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't move, those humble scholars spontaneously stepped forward to push the carriage.

Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and the others were also allocated several carriages, which were driven by poor families before.

But now the carriage was stuck in the mud, but those humble scholars couldn't move it.

"Hurry up, a few more people, the carriage is too heavy for us to push!" Zheng Sen shouted with a dark face.

Gu Gao and the others snorted coldly, ignored them, they couldn't walk anymore, and asked them to push the cart, Zheng Damu, what are you thinking?

Only Fang Yizhi said weakly: "Brother Damu, we really don't have any strength. You also know that from noon to now, we haven't eaten a grain of rice for four or five hours. We really have no strength."

"Aren't we the same as the grain of rice?" A poor scholar couldn't bear it anymore, and sarcastically said, "Are you the only ones who are hungry?"

"Who? Who was it just now?" Gu Gao said angrily.

The humble scholar was also not afraid, and responded calmly: "I am a freshman in Kuaiji, Xu Yingwei!"

"Student in Kuaiji? Mrs. Xu?" Gu Gao said with a dark face, "It's Mrs. Xu, grandma, right?"

"Of course." Xu Yingwei said with a snort, "Although my grandfather Xu's family is not comparable to the Wuxi Gu's and other big families, he is not afraid of troubles. Young Master Gu can do whatever he wants."

"Okay, you, Mrs. Xu, wait for me." Gu Gao hated greatly.

This journey to King Qin in the north was really unexpected for Gu Gao. Before earning his fame, these poor children jumped out to provoke one by one. Small families like the grandma Dong Xu's family usually even their Wuxi Gu's. They are not qualified to step into the door, and now they dare to jump out to provoke, everyone wants to shake the sky, right?

Now even Zheng Sen can't understand Gu Gao's aristocratic style.

"Gu Zifang!" Zheng Sen yelled with a dark face, "Right now, everyone is a member of Prince Qin's scholars, so we should work together, stop putting on airs of the children of the aristocratic family, and come over and push the cart together!"

"I refuse to push the cart, what are you going to do?" Gu Gao was furious.

Zheng Sen shouted sharply: "Don't forget, I am the head of the scholar!"

More than [-] Qin Wang Shizi were simply grouped before going north.

Chongzhen selected more than [-] scholars from them to serve as the heads of scholars in each group.

As the head of each group of scholars, small matters can be resolved, and major matters can be directly reported to the Emperor Chongzhen.

Gu Gao and his group's scholar leader is Zheng Sen, which is also the reason for Gu Gao's tantrums. Thinking that he is a dignified Wuxi Gu family leader who is also the leader of the Fushe, so he didn't take the turn to be the scholar leader?
Gu Gao still refused to admit defeat: "So what if you are the chief scholar?"

Zheng Sen shouted: "Before the departure of the Jinchuan Gate, the Holy Majesty had issued a decree. This time, the soldiers in my life will follow the military rules and regulations of the border town. The orders issued by the head of the scholars are military orders. Anyone who disobeys orders will be given a warning once, whipped for the second time, and beheaded for disobedience three times! Gu Gao, the head of the scholar is now giving a formal warning, I hope you will respect yourself!"

Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and other sons were stunned for a moment, they were careless, now they are really careless!Actually come for real?

At the beginning of the campaign outside the Jinchuan Gate, Gu Gao and Wu Yingji didn't take the edict issued by Chongzhen seriously, and they were managed according to the military rules and regulations of the border towns. How could this be possible?Wouldn't it be insulting to treat noble scholars like them so roughly?Absolutely not.

Only now did they finally react.

What the Holy Majesty said was true, he really treated them like soldiers in the border town.

"Brother Zifang, come on." Fang Yizhi was the first to react, and quickly pulled Gu Gao forward to push the cart.

Even if it was just for show, Zheng Sen couldn't be prevented from coming to the stage. Otherwise, if Zheng Sen was really pushed into a hurry, maybe he would directly play Chen Daosheng in front of the emperor, and they would be in big trouble.

Gu Gao had no choice but to go forward and push the cart.

With the joint efforts of all the scholars, the carriage was finally pushed out of the quagmire.

Because Gu Gao was confiscated, he slipped and fell into the quagmire.
