After passing through the city gate, I saw a cadre of civil and military officials in Hengzhou, as well as representatives of King Gui's mansion, all waiting at the city gate.

After seeing Zhu Cihong, everyone stepped forward in turn to salute, and Zhu Cihong was also polite and took the officials into King Gui's mansion.

King Gui's father and son are still a little famous in history, after Chongzhen hanged himself, a group of ministers fled to Nanjing, under the organization of Shi Kefa, ready to promote a vassal king as the emperor, Shi Kefa originally supported this King Gui as the emperor, and finally set up the Fu King of Luoyang for various reasons.

After the defeat of King Fu's Hongguang regime, King Lao Gui died, and his son Zhu Youlang was supported by Ding Kuichu, the governor of Liangguang, and Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, and was proclaimed emperor in Zhaoqing as Emperor Yongli.

The Yongli Dynasty united with the remnants of Dashun and Daxi to resist the Qing Dynasty, especially with the support of Li Dingguo, and became the longest surviving of the various regimes in the Southern Ming Dynasty, which lasted until the first year of Kangxi.

When Wu Sangui, a traitor, led the Qing army into Yunnan, Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang fled to Burma, was held hostage by the Burmese king, and later sent it to Wu Sangui, Wu Sangui was anxious to be courteous like the master of the Manchu Dynasty, and strangled Zhu Youlang to death in Kunming, and the Southern Ming regime perished.

When Zhu Cihong saw Zhu Youlang, he found that he was still a white and tender young man, who had just turned sixteen years old today, and his innocent face looked much more energetic than the prince of Chu in Wuchang Mansion.

Zhu Youlang also looked at Zhu Cihong curiously, and said secretly, this deified prodigy looks very ordinary, and I thought it was a strange person with three heads and six arms who could lift a stone lion in front of the palace!

"Big Nephew ......"

"Ahem! Cough..... Cough....... Ahem......"

Zhu Youlang just wanted to say hello to the eldest nephew, but he heard his father coughing there as if he had lost his breath, and stared at him with a red face and a thick neck.......

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhu Youlang and frowned, and said, "Who did you call your eldest nephew just now?" ”

"This ...... I ...... "Zhu Youlang didn't dare to say anything for a long time."

Zhu Cihong was also speechless, Zhu Youlang looked like the kind of person he knew himself, no wonder in history after he was caught by Wu Sangui, some Eight Banner generals were fooled by him and knelt down the mountain to shout long live, and they also scrambled to cut off their braids and launched an uprising in an attempt to save him.

After the Eight Banners were exposed, more than 2,000 people were killed by Wu Sangui, and it can be seen that Zhu Youlang's charm is still not small.

"Let's go inside!" Zhu Cihong ignored him and led everyone into the palace hall.

When talking about the salary, the old King Gui did not dare to be stingy, and promised 100,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stones of grain on the spot for the labor of the Tianwu army.

Zhu Cihong was very happy that King Gui was so on the road, although this amount of food and salary was not much in his eyes, but it was a little bit to be saved, Huguang's Tuntian had not yet been harvested, and he had fought so far all the way, and the logistics were also a little difficult.

Sun Yingyuan made a detailed report on the battle situation in Hengzhou Mansion, Zhu Cihong was relieved and a little worried, he didn't know where Zhang Xianzhong had gone, and if Zhang Xianzhong didn't get rid of it for a day, he wouldn't be at ease for a day.

Zhu Cihong ordered someone to drag the captured Sun Kewang up, and asked him what Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai were going to do in the mountains.

As soon as Sun Kewang, who was shouting, was escorted up, Huang Degong kicked him away and asked loudly, "Where is your godfather?" ”

"Humph! Dog officer! Sun Kewang quickly got up, glared and scolded angrily, looking very stylish.

Huang Degong kicked him away again, and asked, "What about your godfather who likes to run away like a girl?" Tell me where he is hiding now? Lao Tzu misses him! ”

Sun Kewang snorted and said, "Hugh wants to know the whereabouts of my father!" ”

It's a pity that Jinyiwei and Long Xiang are not there at night, it is not good to torture him, Zhu Cihong is very regretful, he looked at Sun Kewang and said: "Your soldiers are divided into three ways, what plan should there be, tell your plan and Zhang Xianzhong's whereabouts, this palace will not only spare your life, but also make you a guerrilla general!" ”

"Guerrilla generals? Lao Tzu is not rare! Sun Kewang said disdainfully.

Zhu Cihong said again: "How about the deputy staff from the second grade?" ”

Sun Kewang said fiercely: "Lao Tzu began to rebel when he was a teenager, and he also killed several generals!" ”

Zhu Cihong said unhurriedly: "I am participating in the general!" ”

Sun Kewang said righteously: "My father-in-law treats me like a mountain, and I will never ......"

Zhu Cihong interrupted him, and said lightly: "The deputy chief soldier of the second grade!" ”

Sun Kewang was shocked, and he was already overjoyed, but he pretended to be calm and said, "Let me think about ......."

Zhu Cihong looked at him with a smile, this dog day is not good, it is good to have power, even the Manchu Qing can surrender, what kind of righteous army and righteous father are a fart in his eyes!

After a while, Sun Kewang knelt down with a bang, made a big salute to Zhu Cihong, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, the last general was born poor, at that time there was a great drought in Shaanxi's hometown, and the last general was ignorant and ignorant when he was a teenager, and he was coerced by the thief to join the thief, and he was only fortunate to ...... today."

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said: "I know, I know, everyone is suffering, it's not easy, this palace is ready to make you the deputy general of Yongzhou, what do you think?" ”

Sun Kewang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the grace of Your Highness's promotion!" ”

Sun Kewang is not worried at all that he is being tricked by Zhu Cihong, Liu Guoneng and Li Wanqing have surrendered for more than half a year, aren't they still alive and well? Not only has the military power not moved, but he has not led the troops out to fight, it seems that the crown prince really intends to recruit An!

Huang Degong and the other generals of the Tianwu Army looked disdainful, but no one made fun of them, waiting for some useful information from this kid's mouth.

Zhu Cihong smiled and said, "Vice General Sun, let's talk about the situation of the thief!" ”

Sun Kewang was still a little uncomfortable with his new identity, and he didn't react for a while, and when he saw everyone's eyes staring at him, he thought that he was Vice General Sun! He used to be called Zhang Kewang, and he almost forgot his real surname Sun.......

Sun Kewang saluted again as an officer and soldier: "Your Highness, the thief is going to go from Yongzhou to Chenzhou to Sichuan, and the last general and the thief Zhang Dingguo are in Hengzhou and Changsha to distract the attention of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and cover for the escape of the thief and Cao thief!" ”

Zhu Cihong nodded calmly and said, "Well, a good idea, Cao Thief came up with it?" ”

Sun Kewang shook his head like a rattle, and said, "It's not Cao Thief, it's the fourth son of the thief, Zhang Dingguo!" ”

Zhu Cihong bowed his head and said: "Li Dingguo! is very strategic, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong person, if Zhang Xianzhong had this vision, he wouldn't have wandered for so long. ”

Sun Kewang was slightly shocked in his heart, the imperial court really found out the bottom of the righteous army, and even checked the background of his own anti-second generation so clearly......

Sun Kewang said solemnly: "Your Highness, this time, the last general petitions to lead the troops to pursue the two thieves and take them down!" ”

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said, "No need, you have another task!" ”

Sun Kewang was excited in his heart, he just said that he was just trying to test the crown prince, but he didn't expect that he really didn't let himself go, the crown prince was really considerate, worried that he would be embarrassed to meet a thief?

When he was thinking wildly, Zhu Cihong asked people to cut a big red flower with a red cloth, and then hung it on Sun Kewang's chest, Sun Kewang looked confused, I don't know what he wants to do, is it possible to surrender and marry now?

Zhu Cihong said seriously: "Vice General Sun, you are so good, but you haven't read or taken the Enke exam, it's a pity, this palace will make up for your regrets now, and let you ride a high-headed horse and wear a big red flower in front of people!" ”

Sun Kewang is cold, isn't this just trying to use me to appease other rebels? What are you doing with such hypocrisy! I'm happy for nothing!

Looking at Zhu Cihong's serious expression, Sun Kewang had no choice but to take his orders.

On the major streets with the most popular flow of people in Hengzhou Mansion, Sun Kewang rode a high-headed horse, wearing a big red flower, and wandered around listlessly, behind him, there was a large group of blowing and blowing teams, and several large flags were erected in the team, one of which was written with the four big characters of "Serving the Thief by Order", and several slogans such as "The new deputy general of Yongzhou" and "Capture the thief alive and reward 100,000 taels of silver".

Seeing this, several spies from the old camp of thieves who had infiltrated the city had straight eyes, and even the eldest son of the leader had surrendered to the court, and they were still playing a fart!
