Chapter 44 Set a Small Goal First
One is that he may die in the future, and the other is that he will die soon. The difference between him and Wang Chengen is still clear. Fortunately, the Crown Prince Zhu Cihong gave him a step down. He only wants some people, not to let him be handed over. All power.

"Okay, Wang Banban is well aware of current affairs. If he had made such a decision earlier, the queen mother would definitely not have spoken so harshly."

With a sigh of admiration, Zhu Cixi handed over the order.

Wang Chengen quickly saluted Zhu Cihong, took Zhu Cihong's order with both hands, and only read it once, but then his mind changed. His mood changed from nervousness and fear to admiration for Zhu Cihong.

He secretly thought that the prince was indeed more responsible than he was. The prince took on the responsibility of defending the imperial city alone. This kind of behavior would have been deposed in any dynasty before the Ming Dynasty, but the prince still did it. up.

If the emperor had the courage of the crown prince, he could stand alone and make the final decision to move south or negotiate peace.

Then why did the Ming Dynasty end up like this!
Thinking of this, Wang Chengen became furious, crushed the decree in his hand, and ate it into his stomach.

"Wang Banban, what are you doing?"

When Zhou Hou and Zhu Cixiang on the side saw this action of the eunuch Bingbi, they thought that the eunuch would rather die than obey, and their breathing slowed down a few beats.

"Empress, Qiantai Master, you can rest assured that my slaves will do as they are told. There will be no shortage of people, things, and money." Wang Chengen knew that his behavior would cause misunderstandings, so he immediately said, " However, the responsibility for this matter is too great. What happened today is leaked and the impact is too great. The queen and the prince cannot be the ones to release their military power over a glass of wine. This is a major event that shakes the country and shakes up the government and the opposition. So today's event The old slave has written down the content of the decree, and all the responsibilities are taken to the old slave, and if something goes wrong, even if the emperor wants to kill the old slave, the old slave will admit it."

After saying that, Wang Chengen kowtowed heavily to Zhu Cihong and Zhou Hou.

"Wang Banban, you..."

"You."

Zhu Cihong and Zhou Hou sighed after hearing this.

When Zhu Cihong and Zhou Hou saw Wang Chengen's appearance, they had to admire that this man was a man. Although Wang Chengen was not capable, he was loyal and considerate of his master. It was no wonder that Emperor Chongzhen would reuse him. Zhu Cihong If he were Emperor Chongzhen, he would definitely let people who were loyal to him get high positions first.

After kowtowing, Wang Chengen turned around and went down to arrange things.

"Wait a moment."

Zhu Cixi seemed to have thought of something and greeted Wang Chengen, "Wang Banban, don't rush there yet."

"Chitose, do you have any other orders?"

Wang Chengen asked doubtfully.

"Do you have any way to contact Guan Ningjun?"

Zhu Cixiang asked, "It's the Guan Ning Cavalry under Wu Sangui."

"Wu Sangui, the old slave has no way to contact him, but his father Wu Xiang came back from outside the customs during this period, and was given the title of admiral of the military camp."

Wang Chengen said, "Prince, I am still the Admiral of the Nine Sects. You want to find Wu Sangui. I can't do anything about it, but his father, Wu Xiang, is still under my control in name."

"Okay, okay, okay, you go down and take someone with you, and let him go to the school grounds and wait."

Zhu Cixiang made a decision immediately.

"Call Wu Xiang to the school field too? Does Mr. Qiansui want them to participate in the city defense?" Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "Wang Banban, what I value is not Wu Xiang himself, what I value is the people who are accompanying Wu Xiang. A large family of servants has returned from outside the customs these days, and the whole family is still fine, and they are the servants who have contributed a lot."

"Yes, the servants of the Wu family seem to be more brave than our Yongwei camp Nanhai Zijingjun. But Master Qiantose, can you mobilize his people? This time he came to Beijing from outside the customs to urge the court for food. As for the payment, when the emperor saw on the envelope that Wu Sangui had to pay one million yuan before he could leave, he was so angry that he threw the letter to the ground."

Seeing Zhu Cixiang's plan, Wang Chengen kindly reminded him, "Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, father and son, are both unprofitable and can't afford to be early. Prince, please don't think that these two people are easy to talk to."

"You just go and ask him to come. As for how to make him obey, I have my own way."

With a wave of his hand, Zhu Cixiang started to chase people away, asking Wang Chengen to hurry up and do things.

"Yes, Prince, I will do it now."

Nodding, Wang Chengen went down and did what he was told in a few moments.

"Cixun, why do you still want to have anything to do with Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui and his son?"

Empress Zhou frowned slightly as she listened, "In order to raise one million taels of food and salary, your father asked the noble civil servants from all over the capital to donate money, but he still hasn't raised the one million tael of food and salary. How can you command him before he arrives?"

"Mother, you don't know something."

Seeing the confused look on Empress Zhou's face, Zhu Cixiang explained to her, "You also know that the armed forces in the capital are lax. Although these people have a Yongwei camp and a Nanhaizi Jingjun formation, they are just a mob when it comes to fighting. If they break up, the plan now is to twist these rabble into one, but whether they can be twisted or not depends on the servants Wu Xiang brought."

"Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son fought against Manchu Tatars with real swords and spears in Liaodong. Although they couldn't beat them and were mostly defensive, they fought for real. They knew how to use everything. The servants in their hands The military equipment used to manage Beijing is always much more reliable than the Taiping Xungui arranged by Wang Chengen."

"That's right, the nobles in Beijing are almost dead."

Zhou Hou nodded, but still asked, "But Cixiang, how are you going to control Wu Xiang and his son? If they don't obey, we won't be able to restrain them with Beijing's military equipment."

"They dare not rebel. Besides our Ming Dynasty, who can give Wu Xiang, Wu Sangui and his son so much money?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled when he heard this, "The rogue bandits are under the guise of not conquering for three years. Although they are invincible, they actually don't have much money in their hands. The Manchu Tatars are all outside the customs, so they definitely don't have money, but it's also true that they have contact with Wu Sangui's father." The good thing is, if Wu Sangui really rebels, I have him in my hands, so we still have some control."

"So, Cixi, you want to lead the Wu family's Guan Ning army south."

Empress Zhou drew inferences, "Otherwise Cixi, you wouldn't have asked Wang Chengen if there was a way to contact Wu Sangui."

"The queen mother is still smart."

Zhu Cixiang nodded, feeling that his biological mother was smart, and she guessed his plan to control the ready-made force of Guan Ning Army in just a few moments.

However, Zhou Hou only guessed part of it right. Zhu Cixiang did not necessarily want to take Guan Ning's army south. He wanted to take Guan Ning's army, which he had collected and controlled, into the world of Yangshen. He set a small goal first.

For example, first destroy a few small countries by the sea, or make these small countries the same as North Korea back then.

Be his Ming Dynasty’s dog!

 I have reached chapter 88, and it feels very interesting to write. I have written more than 7000 words today.
