Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 118 Birth Date!

After dealing with everything, Zhu Changgan asked Wang Chengen to go out and have a conversation with Chongzhen, asking:
"What did you promise Li Yan? Why did he bring me to the boss's tent?"

"I didn't agree to him..." Chongzhen repeated to Zhu Changgan what Li Yan had said to him, and Zhu Changgan suddenly understood.

At the same time, Chongzhen also learned the details of what happened last night, and he felt like he was struck by lightning.

"What are you going to do now?"

Chongzhen: "According to what you said, I have to flee quickly. Prince Xiang seems to have seen something..."

Zhu Changgan wanted to ask something else, but someone shouted, "Who's sneaking around there?"

"I, I, don't shoot arrows, I am the master of the village."

Chongzhen's voice suddenly cut off.

"Don't play with fire!" Zhu Changgan wanted to tell him something, but it was obvious that the other party could no longer hear him.

……

At this time, Chongzhen was shouted at and hurriedly returned to the team.

"It's time to train the troops!"

Following the command, footsteps mixed and figures moved forward. Those who had just been sitting on the ground to rest all stood up and kept a certain distance.

On the hill, Lady Hong, dressed in red military uniform, holding a silver spear, stood there heroically.

"prick!"

"Stab..." everyone shouted.

"pick!"

"pick!"

"Stab again!"

"..."

It has to be said that Hongniang was extremely serious in managing these rebel troops. Whenever she had some free time, she would organize the rebels to train.

Although many of them did not even have weapons in their hands, and some even only had kitchen knives, carrying poles, etc., they still followed Hong Niangzi in waving their weapons and shouting and killing.

Especially the hundreds of people in front holding knives and guns, following Hong Niangzi's voice, the sword lights flashed violently, like cold and predatory beasts.

"kill!"

"kill!"

"..."

The flash of the sword and the aura of the sword.

An unconcealable atmosphere spread among this group of refugee rebels, which made Chongzhen a little stunned.

It can be seen that Hong Niangzi has put a lot of effort into these people. Many of her moves have been improved so that these refugees can use them without much difficulty.

On the hill, Lady Hong gave a delicate shout, and everyone below followed suit.

Chongzhen stared at this scene in a daze and couldn't help thinking.

If the entire world of the Ming Dynasty had become a place where people were displaced like this, ask yourself, how could the Ming Dynasty not have perished?

The scene that Zhu Changgan showed him before, which said that Li Zicheng entered Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty, had always made him doubtful. He always felt that they were just a group of rabble, so why could they cause such a big storm? Now... he suddenly understood a little.

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, "Master Zhu, do you want to practice?"

"I... forget it. I'm just a scholar." Chongzhen waved his hands quickly.

The Third Master did not force him to do anything, and said with a smile: "It is precisely because you are a scholar that you need to strengthen your body."

Chongzhen was about to say something, but when he saw Hongniang looking at him, he quickly lowered his head.

He pretended to follow the person in front of him and made a few gestures, then left when no one was looking at him.

……

After the training, Hongniang continued to lead her men northward.

Li Yan did not look for him again, and neither did Hong Niangzi. It was as if what happened last night had never happened. However, Chongzhen knew that things could not just go away that easily.

Because the atmosphere around me is slowly changing, and some people even whisper when they look at me.

Then he walked away with a smile. Finally, Chongzhen couldn't help himself and stopped two men who were whispering to each other. They were also the parents of his students. "What are you talking about? Why are so many people looking at me like this today?"

"Master Zhu, you don't know yet?"

"What do I know?" Chongzhen looked confused.

Those people smiled and shook their heads, saying: "Everyone in our village is talking about your marriage to the boss!" Chongzhen's mind buzzed, so fast?
How could I, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, marry a traitor?
No, Chongzhen reacted immediately. His current identity was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty...but a vassal of the Ming Dynasty could not marry a traitor!

Just as he was worrying, he saw Prince Xiang Zhu Yiming coming over and gnashing his teeth and saying, "What's going on between you and the boss?"

"There's nothing between us."

"Nothing?" Zhu Yiming's face turned dark. "How long are you going to lie to me? Look at what this is."

Chongzhen looked at the red paper in Prince Xiang's hand, on which was written his birth date.

"Zhu Changgan!" Zhu Yiming's voice was extremely low, but his body was almost shaking. "It's OK to write the manifesto. It's not your real name anyway. But if you really marry a traitor as your legal wife, then our lineage of Prince Xiang will really be finished."

"It's over. Do you understand?"

Chongzhen lowered his head and said, "I never meant that. I...I was just deceived by Li Yan."

He told Zhu Yiming about his relationship with Li Yan. Zhu Yiming's eyes widened and he gritted his teeth. "What a mess."

Just when Chongzhen thought that Prince Xiang Zhu Yiming was furious, he heard him gritting his teeth and saying, "I said that the way you looked at Li Yan these past two days was not right. It turns out that there is something like this... My son, don't worry, Dad will help you."

"What can you help me with?"

"Kill him!"

Chongzhen was shocked, "You...you know everything?"

"You are my son, how could you not see it?" Prince Xiang Zhu Yiming's eyes were red, "But there is one thing, this female traitor, we can't marry her no matter what!"

……

In Miyun, north of the capital.

When Hauge heard his bondservants say that Dorgon was more than thirty miles away from them, he could not help but taunt them, "See? This is the Prince Rui Dorgon in your eyes."

"Master, should we follow?"

"Follow? What? Run away like him?" Hauge scolded unceremoniously, "Let the brothers go all out to grab it. We have finally come here once, how can we just go back like this?"

"Call Jiala Zhangjing over to me and tell him that I'm going to treat them to beef hot pot!" He leisurely asked the servants below to take out the iron pot and prepare the meal.

After a while,

He broke off a piece of beef and put it in the boiling pot. After a while, he took it out, dipped it in salt and put it in his mouth. He savored it for a while and said, "The beef and mutton of the Ming Dynasty are better than those of our Jianzhou."

"Eat, everyone, don't be polite. We don't know when we will be able to enter the country again. How can we miss such delicious food?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The group of Jalazhangjing below couldn't help but agree and eat with relish.

Hauge looked at everyone. Dorgon was trying to win over people, so he was also seizing every opportunity to win over people. Among the 30,000 people this time, in addition to the Zhenglan Banner, there were also some people from the Two Yellow Banners of his father Huang Taiji.

If he wanted to get to the top, he must get the support of the two yellow flags.

While eating, Haoge said, "In a few years, when the Qing Dynasty takes control of the Central Plains, everything will be ours."

A Jiala Zhangjing laughed and said, "Men, women, livestock... including their children... haha..."

"Ha ha!"

A burst of laughter.

A soldier rushed into Hauge's tent from a distance and shouted, "Master, Master... The Ming army, the Ming army is attacking."

"What?" Hauge was shocked. "How is this possible? How could they come so quickly? How many people are there?"

"My Lord, about 40,000 people."

"Forty thousand?" Hauge frowned.

A Jiala Zhangjing of the Bordered Yellow Banner stood up and patted his chest and said, "Prince Suqing, there are only 40,000 people. We defeated them in one round."

"The last time we entered the pass, our Zhenglan Banner defeated their 60,000 men in one fell swoop. Now there are only 40,000..." Jiala Zhangjing of the Zhenglan Banner, a close confidant of Hauge, also shouted.

"Did you see any artillerymen?"

"My Lord, we are too far away to see clearly, but our scouts were killed when they were a little closer. The distance is more than a hundred steps. I am afraid there are musket soldiers in the enemy army."

"Firegun soldiers?" Hauge narrowed his eyes, and when he thought about Dorgon's actions, he keenly realized that the Ming army was definitely not as simple as they imagined.

"Notify all soldiers to take all the spoils and march quickly towards Qingshan Pass. The daily speed cannot be less than 80 miles."

All the generals were stunned, but they heard Haoge say: "The battle report that Yuetuo and Dorgon gave to the emperor showed that the artillery and muskets of the Ming army are very powerful. There is no need for us to fight to the death with the Ming army."

Both his Zhenglan Banner and the Two Yellow Banners suffered too many casualties, and he was unable to report back.
