When Jin Zhijun followed the nephew of Chengguo Mansion who received him into Wolong City, he found out that the so-called Wolong City and Phoenix City were actually connected.

These two castles are actually two parts of a multi-storey castle. Wolong Castle was rebuilt on the basis of the original Forbidden Castle, and is a "polygonal castle" (fortress), and to the north of it, there are two tall "composite walls" - that is, sandbags covered on the outside, brick walls supported by knots - connecting Wolong City with the southern foot of Phoenix Mountain.

The trees that originally covered the southern slopes of Phoenix Mountain have all been cut down, and the slopes are full of construction sites. Countless people were busy up and down, leveling the ground, digging foundations, driving piles with thick timber, or building walls.

Kim Zhijun, dressed as a merchant and wearing a hat over his head and a braid on his head, passed between these construction sites. He paid attention to the observation and found that the blue bricks used by the craftsmen to build the walls were outrageously large, and at a glance he knew that they were the "old bricks" obtained by demolishing the towers, city walls and high walls of Fengyang in the old city of Fengyang, which were very strong.

The buildings built with these "old bricks" do not look like the shape of the yamen, or the appearance of the officials' mansions.

Although most of these buildings are unbuilt, they are all strong and easy to maintain...... Every building can be used as a fortress!

The horse road up the mountain is also paved with the "old bricks" of Fengyang City, which is very wide enough to run horses and cars, but there is no extra decoration.

In addition to being durable, there is only one point of slaughter.

I don't know how long it took to walk, and when Jin Zhijun's legs and feet were painful and numb, he arrived at the door of a mountain city. He gasped and looked up, and saw a gate building with a slope made of surface, standing impressingly. The thick wooden gates were open, and ten soldiers dressed in iron armor made of iron pieces split on both sides, all carrying spurred bird guns on their shoulders, did not squint.

The nephew of Chengguo Mansion turned around and smiled at Jin Zhijun: "Shopkeeper Jin, you wait." ”

Jin Zhijun was a secret envoy who drove dozens of Mongolian horses into the country as a merchant. It was also because of these horses that they caught the line of Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.

Under Zhu Chunchen's arrangement, today's trip to Fengyang took place.

It's just that I don't know how long he has to wait to see Zhu Cihong, the prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Prince Zhu didn't let him, an inconvenient "working Jiang Gan", wait too long, so he asked the new Fengyang town guard eunuch Tian Shuchen to personally go to Fenghuangmen to lead the "Boss Jin" to the Longfeng Pavilion where he lived - the Longfeng Pavilion was originally an ancient building, which was built during the Hongwu period, and was originally a separate business for the prince stationed in Fengyang. However, because it has been uninhabited for many years, by the time Zhu Chunchen was stationed in Fengyang and ordered to build the Fengyang Fortress, it had already fallen into disrepair and was broken.

And Zhu Chunchen took a fancy to the territory occupied by the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion at a glance, and based on it, he began to build Phoenix City. Now Phoenix City has not been completed, but the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion has been renovated, so it has become the palace of Zhu Cihong, who is stationed in Fengyang.

After the completion of the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion, Zhu Cihong moved from the dilapidated Fengtian Hall in the "Wolong City" under the mountain to the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion on the mountain. also brought Wu Sanmei and Zheng Chagu from Nanjing to Fengyang City for reunion, and asked Wu Sanmei to bring her daughter Fengjiao, who was working hard to learn to crawl, to Fengyang, a family of four, and they were happy.

At the same time, Zhu Cihong also asked Emperor Chongzhen, who was in the camp in Jiangbei to "drive the imperial expedition", to also return to the imperial city of Nanjing--in the "killing" of the Qing Dynasty Fa Qiu Belle Ye Haoge, and smashing the Qing army's conspiracy to excavate the Fengyang Emperor's tomb (the Qing army was wronged!). After that, Zhu Cihong was no longer afraid of any changes to seize the door.

Who thinks that they are even more awesome than Hauge and the 20,000 Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers under Hauge, although they can come and take it!

And he himself continued to garrison Fengyang Mansion. On one side, the banner of the Northern Expedition to aid Kong was held high; On the other hand, he was supervising the construction of Fengyang Fortress and the defense of Huaibei and Xuhai...... Of course, these two things are not contradictory!

If you don't manage the base camp of the Southeast Bao Confucian Sect well, where can you save the tomb of the Confucian saint with peace of mind? Even if the construction of Fengyang Fortress and the defense of Huaibei and Xu Hai are delayed, it does not matter if the great cause of rescuing the tomb of Confucius is delayed.

You must know that on the Western side, Christians have waged wars for the liberation of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem from generation to generation!

So it doesn't matter if you lose the "Holy Tomb" of Confucius, as long as the "scenery" of the Holy Gong Kong Yinzhi is born, it can inspire people who go to the southeast to write and save the "Holy Tomb" together......

Besides, the situation in Qufu is okay now. Duoduo still didn't have the strength to besiege the city, but only built a Yishui camp near Qufu. Shi Kefa sent troops to fight several times, but they all hit their heads and bled out, and it seemed that they didn't have the ability to pull out this Qing army camp.

However, because Qufu City was not besieged, it was still able to get some supplies, and some old and weak women and children could be evacuated, and the situation could be maintained.

For Zhu Cihong, there is nothing wrong with such a situation. Taking the risk of sending troops to fight the Yishui camp, you may have followed Dolgon's way...... Troops were dispatched from Xuzhou and Qufu had to walk more than 300 miles north. It takes five or six days to march at the normal pace of the infantry, and if you take into account the harassment and sluggishness of the Qing light cavalry, it is normal to walk for ten days.

With these ten days, Dolgon could mobilize heavy troops from all sides to fight a decisive battle around Qufu. You can also temporarily abandon the Yishui camp, retreat to Yanzhou and even Jining and Dongping, and have a protracted battle with Zhu Cihong in which the enemy advances and we retreat.

And how long can Zhu Cihong stay in Shandong? There's a lot of work to be done in the south!

Just when Jin Zhijun was trembling and was brought by Tian Shuchen, Zhu Cihong was frowning and looking at the recital sent by Zhu Chunjie, the commander of Jinyiwei-Zuo Liangyu is critically ill and may be dead! In short, he hadn't been seen for days. It is very likely that he has already died, and Zuo Mengeng did not mourn and concealed the news of his death......

"Chitose Master," Tian Shuchen's voice interrupted Zhu Cihong's thoughts, "The slave maid brought the golden shopkeeper!" ”

Then came Jin Zhijun's voice: "Grass people Jin Zhijun, respectfully invite His Royal Highness the Ming Prince Jin An!" ”

Zhu Cihong directed the chapter and glanced at Jin Zhijun who was kneeling, "You are the regent's secret envoy?" ”

"The grass people are ...... sent by the regent of the Qing Dynasty"

"Oh." Zhu Cihong nodded, "How is he?" You must be so happy, right? ”

"This ......," Jin Zhijun muttered, "the grass people, the grass people heard that the regent's eyes were swollen from crying. ”

Zhu Cihong sneered: "It's quite pretendable!" Tell me, how is he going to thank me? ”

Thank you...... Jin Zhijun felt that it was wrong when he heard this, and it was even more wrong when he thought about it!

"The regent has promised to marry Gege to Chitose Ye......" Jin Zhijun has cold sweat dripping on his forehead!

There seems to be an inside story about this, will it be killed when I go back?

"Marry?" Zhu Cihong looked at Jin Zhijun, "Did you hear him clearly?" Is it married? Not sending? ”

"This ...... That's what it means. Jin Zhijun wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, took out another envelope, and handed it to Tian Shuchen with both hands, "Chitose Lord, this is a letter from the regent......

The envelope and stationery of the handwritten letter have no name, only the words "well-known but not".

Zhu Cihong unfolded the letter and looked at it, at first he was still smiling, but when he saw half of it, his face gradually became gloomy, and in the end, he actually slapped the table, which scared Jin Zhijun below. But he didn't dare to ask anything, just trembling below.

After a long time, I heard Zhu Cihong speak: "You go back and tell Dolgon that when Donggu Gege grows to the age of thirteen, the palace will send someone to Beijing to pick her up...... In the future, Donggu will never suffer here in this palace. ”

Kim Zhijun was even more confused when he heard it...... Dolgon promised to send his daughter, what is Prince Zhu still worried about? is so moody, I'm afraid that the future days of Dongo Gege will not be good!
