Saving the Ming Dynasty: I can exchange bodies with Chongzhen

Chapter 235 Prince Xin has another identity? !

When Hongniang shouted this, everyone was stunned.

Chongzhen's face showed difficulty, and he said awkwardly: "Didn't you just ask me why I believe in the court? In fact, it's not that I believe in the court, but that I believe in me."

"It doesn't matter if you don't believe what happened to Zhang Xianzhong, but we have worked together for such a long time, and there are some things that we still have to do." Chongzhen bowed to everyone, "Prince Zhu Changgan of Xiang, it's a pleasure to meet you all..."

"I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

"Don't even think about leaving..." Hongniang's gun shot out like a dragon and attacked Chongzhen again.

Lao Han and other Jinyiwei had besieged Hong Niangzi before. Her martial arts skills were so high that everyone was on guard.

"Ping ping ping pong~"

So he took action suddenly, and the Jinyiwei people also moved, and the two sides fought again.

Hongniang's spear skills were powerful, heavy and continuous. She attacked with anger, and the spear in her hand was pushed to the extreme. Every time the spear landed, there was no delay in the air.

On the ground, grass, trees and dust were blown up.

The Jinyiwei were like a pack of wolves. Despite the tactics, they were unable to limit the opponent's offensive for a while.

Fortunately, there was another person beside Chongzhen. She was dressed in black, with a strong back and broad shoulders, her skirt fluttering, and she held a giant sword taller than herself in one hand.

boom!
The huge sword in her hand collided violently with the iron spear, and Hong Niangzi's attack, which had already been launched, was suddenly cut off by the huge sword, and there was an obvious pause in an instant.

The Jinyiwei took advantage of the situation and pressed forward again.

"you are?"

This person was none other than Chai Yufang, the assassin who had attacked and killed Chongzhen.

He used to be a loyal soldier of the gentry Gao family, but now he has become a loyal supporter of Prince Xin. He practices heavy sword and takes a tough and fierce approach.

As a woman, the reason why Hongniangzi wields the iron spear with such force and heaviness is because of her skills and consistency.

Because she herself does not have much strength, she has to wield the iron spear. Once she does, no one can stop her attack.

In the past, everything went smoothly.

But at this moment, her blood and energy were flowing backwards due to this force. She gritted her teeth and swung the iron spear in her hand again, hitting the woman in front of her in the opposite direction. However, the other party decisively chose to use the heavy sword to collide with the iron spear again.

Bang~bang~bang... In an instant, several lightning-fast fights occurred.

Hongniang moved her feet, and the iron spear in her hand was like a flexible giant python, smashing back and forth and left and right at the opponent's head, but the woman was like a rock in the hurricane.

No matter which direction you attack from, I will defeat you with my strength, extend my giant sword and cut off your attack.

Call ~
However, Hongniang seemed to have known the result long ago, but she did not stop the attack of the spear in her hand. After several consecutive strikes, the iron spear was bent tightly into a long bow and suddenly launched a fierce attack at the woman.

"Be careful~ She's using force."

Sure enough, Chai Yufang took the attack again, and the whole person was like a piece of stone that was blown away, and was instantly blown away several meters away.

He rolled on the ground several times before he stood up, with blood already forming at the corner of his mouth.

She wiped the corner of her mouth fiercely, but then walked back again, facing Lady Hong again, "I am the guard of Prince Xin."

From Hong Niangzi's attack to Chai Yufang being knocked away, this crazy fight... everything happened in an instant.

Chongzhen also took the opportunity to distance himself from Hongniang again.

Hong Niangzi stared at the woman in front of her with a fiery gaze. She was not very old and had a plain face, but her skills were so extraordinary? The power of the giant sword in her hand was so powerful that even she felt powerless.

She gritted her teeth and charged like a cheetah again, but the giant sword cut off the spear again, causing her offensive to stagnate again.

It wasn't that she didn't want to use that move again, but she was actually injured after using the force to push the opponent away, and was unable to use that move again.

The beads of sweat on his forehead were proof of this.

This time, Hong Niangzi used the iron spear as a bow and herself as the arrow. At the moment when the spear and the heavy sword collided, she suddenly threw the spear away, and her body suddenly soared into the sky, close to Chai Yufang's side.

The fist roared like a tiger, smashing into the opponent's temple.

Unexpectedly, Chai Yufang's close combat skills were equally strong, and the two of them used their punches to hit each other's flesh.

The two figures collided with the ground a few times, then suddenly separated again.

……

For several times, Hongniang was unable to get within three meters of Chongzhen.

Seeing that they could not achieve anything in a short while, Lady Hong could not help but shout at the bandits, "What are you still waiting for?"

"As long as you stop these people, I will take Prince Xin away, so that you don't have to bear the reputation of killing your master."

Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and other bandits were completely confused. They held knives in their hands, but didn't know who to attack.
He stared blankly at Chongzhen, as if he had lost some kind of power at that moment.

"Sir, how can you be a vassal of the Ming Dynasty?" Sun Kewang opened his mouth twice before finally asking this question. Chongzhen sighed, "Yes, I am a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of Xiang, Zhu Changgan."

"This... You led us to capture cities, and even conquered Suzhou and Hangzhou... These can't be fake, right?"

"Of course these cannot be false." Chongzhen nodded.

"The vassals of the Ming court can do nothing at all... Besides, you have killed so many officials and gentry, and so many government soldiers have died. Aren't you afraid that the Ming court will settle accounts with you?" Sun Kewang's eyes were as big as a calf.

"Zhu Youjian couldn't possibly value the vassal state. He conquered so many cities, became a rebel king, and killed tens of thousands of gentry... If you did any of these things, the Ming emperor would have sent troops to suppress you. How could he allow you to get away with it like this?"

Before Chongzhen could speak, the old blind man came out and asked, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if the emperor ordered Prince Xin to attack cities and kill gentry?"

"You mean, all this was instructed by the Ming Emperor?"

"Impossible. We all know exactly who Zhu Youjian is. He always makes the people suffer more."

"The imperial court only knows how to exploit the people, so why would it take action against the gentry?"

"I do not believe……"

Chongzhen's suppressed voice suddenly became a little choked, "I know you don't believe it. Before this, I didn't believe it either... But the emperor woke up. He realized that no matter how hard the people scraped, they couldn't scrape out two ounces of oil, so he put the knife on the gentry's neck."

"These things should have been done a long time ago, but unfortunately... the emperor realized it too late."

"Then all this happened... After killing the gentry, the Ming Dynasty exempted Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan and other provinces from taxation, and no longer collected money for the suppression. There was also money to fight against the Manchu Tartars in the north... Everything started to work."

"What does the good or bad of the Ming court have to do with us? We..." Li Dingguo's eyes turned red and he roared, "We are rebelling."

"How can it not matter? What do you want by rebelling? Isn't it to change this world?
Having food to eat, land to farm, and a wife and children to live and work in peace and contentment is what one seeks, but now the Ming Dynasty has changed the world, providing food and drink for the people, allowing them to live and work in peace and contentment, and giving you the opportunity to be granted a title of nobility... Or do you think you can defeat the government army now, accomplish anything, and create a better world?"

"..." Li Dingguo was suddenly stunned.

Yes, all I wanted was to have enough food to eat, clothes to wear, and for my wife and children to live in peace and contentment. Later, after I followed Prince Xin, I thought about more, such as being granted a title of nobility... Not to mention that I cannot defeat the government troops now, even if I could defeat them, could I guarantee that I could create a better world than the current one?
Everyone was silent at this moment.

Sun Kewang raised his head and stared at Chongzhen with burning eyes, "You... since you are a vassal of the imperial court, Suzhou City is about to be captured, why did you come here?"

Everyone raised their heads again and looked at Chongzhen. This was also what everyone else wanted to ask.

It was this man who led them through all the difficulties and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and momentum, so everyone believed in and supported him without hesitation.

If he was a vassal of the Ming Dynasty and a member of the royal family, in order to unite all the rebels and kill all the gentry in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the next plan would certainly be to let the government army kill them all.

The trouble is gone forever, but why did the other party come back again?

"I promised you that I would give you wealth and honor and let you live." Chongzhen looked around at everyone, his eyes red, "Because you are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. If you rebelled, you would not be able to survive."

"If I hadn't come, the imperial army would have definitely taken action, and they would not have stopped until the situation was completely cleared..."

Sun Kewang's eyes were fixed on the letter of surrender that Prince Xin had taken out earlier. He suddenly felt an inexplicable irony. "How can we trust you, sir, as a vassal of the Ming Dynasty? How can we not question whether all this is a trap set by the Ming Dynasty court against us? Just like what happened to the Eight Great Kings?"

"Yes, how can Prince Xin guarantee that this will not be another plan against us?"

"I..." Chongzhen opened his mouth, but suddenly stopped talking.

He can't say that he is the emperor, can he?
Just when he was getting anxious, Old Han suddenly said, "Don't worry about this. Prince Xin is not only a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but also has a much higher status than you think. Since the emperor has promised you to recruit him, whether he is a general or a deputy general, he will definitely not regret it."

"What's your identity?" Li Dingguo's eyes suddenly focused and he looked at the other party.

Old Han turned to look at Chongzhen, "Prince, do you want to reveal this identity?"

Ok?
Chongzhen was a little confused when he heard this. "What do you mean? What is my identity? You..."

He "understood" instantly. Old Han was giving him advice, and he couldn't help but straighten his chest and said, "If that's the case, then tell me."

Old Han nodded and said, "Prince Xin is not only a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, but also the prince of the current emperor."

puff~
Chongzhen’s eyes suddenly widened and he almost spit out words. He was the emperor’s son?
What the hell does this have to do with anything?

But then he reacted, don't say... This statement seemed to be more in line with the current situation. He had no way of saying that he was the emperor, and could not give Sun Kewang, Li Dingguo and others full confidence.

But the identity of prince is most appropriate.

It’s just… it’s a little bit awkward to treat myself as your own son.

As soon as these words were spoken, the way everyone looked at Chongzhen changed.

Lady Hong also stopped the iron spear in her hand, her eyes burning, "You...you are actually still a prince?"

In everyone's eyes, the Ming Dynasty's vassal states were not even as good as the court officials, but it was different for the princes, especially those who did not go to vassal states, as they were very likely to inherit the throne in the future.

And he is a prince entrusted with an important task by the emperor. What does this mean?
"Are you serious? How can you prove it?"
