Chapter 50
I dare to say that except for me, the Ming Dynasty, no one can give me millions of food and salary, not even the thieves can give me, let alone the captives who have lived in the cold and cold places outside the customs for a long time.

Don't let the time come when your Guan Ning army is so stupid that you believe that the Tartars and the rogue bandits can give you so much money. You want to go to either side of them. There is no money, a lot of knives, the Eight Banners of the Tartars, and the old camp of the rogue bandits. If you can't spend millions in food and wages, they will still use you as a knife and let you die.

Now there is only one way before the admiral and Guan Ning's tens of thousands of veterans, and that is to follow me and my father to the south. Only when we reach the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River, you Northerners will have a place to show off your power. Your Wu family Huang Degong from Heyongwei camp will take advantage of the situation to become the humerus minister of this palace and the emperor, and the Ming Dynasty will make your Guan Ning army full of food.

You know, now we have entered troubled times, the world is divided into three parts, and the pattern of the Central Plains is complicated. If you three thousand servants go to whichever side you don't know, you will die. The only way to survive is to follow this palace and the emperor to the south of the Yangtze River, and only those in the south of the Yangtze River can survive. Only taxes can support your Guan Ning army. If the admiral and his son can really lead three thousand servants to escort them south, our Ming Dynasty will at least have a future in the Southern Song Dynasty. By then, the Wu family will be the pillar of the Ming Dynasty, and the wealth of Jiangnan will be shared by Zhu and Wu! "

The future of the Southern Song Dynasty!Zhu and Wu share wealth and honor!

Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were not stupid, they immediately realized it.

Southern Song Dynasty!

The Southern Song Dynasty seemed to have existed for 150 years, right? In the second year of 150, this happened for several generations, and it had nothing to do with them anyway. And you heard me right, the prince actually said that Zhu and Wu were rich and powerful together!

Hearing this, the two of them felt excited.

Seeing these two people looking like they were suffocating for their dreams, Zhu Cixiang felt happy in his heart, but his tone on the outside was even firmer, "So, now it is inevitable to move south, and the secret decree will be issued by His Majesty in the near future. , I would like to ask now, whether the admiral and his son want to take advantage of the dragon!"

From Dragon Power!

This is a great achievement. If I and others escort the imperial court to move south smoothly, will they be directly granted the title of Marquis or Duke of the country because of this achievement?This future was so promising. When they thought that as long as they successfully escorted Nan Xing, their family would be rich for at least 150 years, Wu Sanfu and Wu Xiang were so excited that they could not speak.

Jiangnan, Jiangnan is such a great place!

If there was really a choice, who would be willing to guard Shanhaiguan in a remote place like Shanhaiguan?Who knows whether Shanhaiguan will be directly defeated by the Hongyi cannon under a certain attack by the Tartars?Who knows if the Ming Dynasty really fell after being beaten by intruders after a while?
Anyway, the situation is now obvious. If the Wu family doesn't make a choice earlier and doesn't support the southward migration earlier, then hundreds of thousands of people in Shanhaiguan will have to vote for the invaders if they don't vote for the Tatars. Anyway, no matter who they choose, they will all Without the prosperity of living in the hands of the imperial court, sooner or later they will all be consumed as cannon fodder.

Of course, Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu were not destined to see Wu Sangui later get involved in the future of King Pingxi in the hands of Man Tatar. If they saw it, maybe their thoughts would change.

So since Emperor Chongzhen has made plans and the trend is irreversible, then Wu Xiang, the spokesperson of Guan Ningjun in the capital, has nothing to say and just follow the emperor's court.

Father and son Wu Xiang and Wu Sanfu, who already knew what they should do, looked at each other and exchanged opinions. They found that the father and son had thought of the same thing, so they turned to Zhu Cihong and bowed to him: "Father and son, I wish you all the best." On behalf of the Guan Ning Army, I will serve His Majesty to death and escort Nan Xing!"

After explaining these things clearly, Wu Xiang stopped talking about the three thousand servants and looked like a loyal minister who put the Ming Dynasty's national affairs first.

This made Wang Chengen, who was watching everything happen, couldn't help but secretly admire Zhu Cixiang's cleverness.

The prince himself taught the cunning and cunning old soldier everything he had in a few words.

It is not that easy for these two to thirty thousand people to come to Beijing from outside the customs. It would take ten and a half months for these people to come. The two to thirty thousand people must eat horse chews. They must have spent a lot of money on the way. At least ten to two hundred thousand taels of silver.It turns out that all this money has to be paid by the court before the Wu family is willing to move people, and they definitely want more. After all, they have to manage it up and down.

It's better now. The prince himself, Zhu Cixiang, was just talking nonsense and asked the middleman Wu Xiang and the Wu family to pay for the money. Ten to 20 taels of silver were given to the court, and the money was given directly to the soldiers, and he Prince Zhu Cihong just needs to wait in the capital to pick him up.

This is a huge skill!

Wang Chengen felt that if Emperor Chongzhen in the deep palace was as good as the prince who deceived Wu Xiang, how could the world be so chaotic tomorrow?

"Okay, okay, okay." Hearing this, Zhu Cihong couldn't hide his smile, "Sure enough, both the admiral and his son are the humerus of my Great Ming, and they are also the pillars of my Great Ming!"

"Right? Governor Wang, my mother was in my palace today and she learned that I was coming to the school grounds to meet with Admiral Wu. What do you want to tell Admiral Wu?"

The main event is coming.

Wang Chengen immediately understood and said with a smile, "It's a good thing, of course it is a good thing. The Queen heard that your Wu family has a daughter who is twenty-eight years old and is not married to others, so she asked me to come and ask."

What?The queen asked her if she had an unmarried daughter.What does it mean?Is it possible that Zhou Guo's father-in-law's uncle is still unmarried?
"Yes, yes, there is a little girl in my family, named Sanmei. She is sixteen this year. She was originally promised a marriage, but her fiancé was killed in the battle with the Manchu Tatars in Liaodong."

Wu Xiang did not tell the truth. Wu Sanmei was originally promised to be a wife of a junior member of the ancestral family. However, after the Battle of Songjin, the junior member of the ancestral family surrendered together with Zu Dashou.

"Oh, my fiancé died before we got married. I am really jealous of talented people." Wang Chengen sighed appropriately after hearing this, and asked, "Then you are not married, right? If you are not married, you are not considered a widow."

"No, no, I haven't passed the door yet."

Wu Xiang is not stupid, so he will not talk nonsense, "The child who was engaged to the third sister died early. He died in the 15th year of Chongzhen. He has been dead for two years."

Dead for more than two years?The grass on the grave is already three feet tall!
Zhu Cixiang was noncommittal about this. According to the rules of some scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty, the woman must also observe the rules for the man in such matters, but looking at Wu Xiang's appearance and the style of the warrior, he definitely did not follow the rules.

"In this case, the governor will make it clear."

Wang Chengen looked at Wu Xiang and then at Zhu Cixiang. After getting Zhu Cixiang's affirmative nod, the old eunuch was heartbroken, "The empress wants the third sister of the admiral's family to enter the East Palace to serve His Highness the Crown Prince. It’s for… for talented people!”

 This book is positioned as a fan of rescuing the Ming Dynasty.
