Big Gukou.

The two horsemen belonging to the Tianjin Weishui Division rode and flew straight into the Dagukou Castle. These two horses are dressed as ordinary people, as if two dart riders running the rivers and lakes exchanged password codes outside Dagukou Castle before opening a crack in the door and letting them in. And as soon as these two horsemen entered the city gate, they set off huge waves in the dull and breathless Dagukou City.

"The emperor and the prince of Fujun have arrived!"

Dagukou is now a camp for officials who are refugees from the Ming Dynasty -- all of them are refugees who ran out of Beijing on March 16 and 17. They all dragged their families with their families, came in boats and cars, and came in groups. When he arrived at Dagukou, he asked Su Guansheng, who led the troops stationed here to prepare for the road and the Tianjin Guard, to ask for a boat, and wanted to float to Denglai for refuge.

This Su Guansheng is also a rare capable person in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty today, and like Shen Tingyang, he was born in Nanjing Guozijian. However, he has no money at home, he is a serious scholar, and he is also very honest as an official. In officialdom, it can be regarded as a personal annoying thorn.

If it is left in the peaceful and prosperous era, most of these people have been kicked out of the field. But Su Guansheng encountered a troubled era at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there were many headaches that could be used to settle the three masters. Denglai's soldiers are in charge of the Tianjin Guard, and the water division is such a nasty dispatch.

The Tianjin Weishui Division of the Ming Dynasty was originally stationed in Dagukou, Tianjin, and later moved to Denglai, the name was not changed, and it was still the Tianjin Weishui Division, and the port and castle that had been retained on the side of Dagukou.

Unlike the other parts of the Ming Dynasty that have abundant oil and water and specialize in protecting smuggled sailors, the Tianjin Weishui Division not only has no oil and water, but also has the risk of dying from time to time - the Tianjin Weishui Division can shoulder the dual mission of protecting the Liaodong Salary Road and supporting the Guanning Army in combat!

A large part of the naval divisions that had been wiped out on Juehua Island earlier were drawn from the Tianjin Weishui Division.

Therefore, the dispatch of supervising the Tianjin Weishui Division has never been very popular, so it was lost to Su Guansheng, who was also unpopular. He's a bad guy anyway......

And Su Guansheng's style of "no officials, no money, no life" is just right for the Tianjin Weishui Division, plus a foil for the helmsman of the sand boat gang who runs the transportation in a gunboat. In the past few years, he has actually done a good job of protecting Liaodong's salary, and has never let the Dongyu or the Korean naval army that surrendered to the Dongyu take advantage.

In the spring of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, when the soldiers on land avoided the besieged city of Beijing, Su Guansheng and Shen Tingyang were not afraid at all, and took their naval warships and transport ships that were more powerful than warships to Dagukou, ready to take Chongzhen's father and son south by sea.

Su Guansheng rejected the requests of a group of officials and nobles who had fled from Beijing to Dagukou in a panic to borrow a boat, citing headwinds.

At the same time, he also asked the officials who had fled to Dagukou to take refuge in Dagukou to pay money and money to strengthen the defense of Dagukou. There was still martial law in the city of Dagukou, the city gate was closed all day, the streets were full of armed sailor officers and soldiers, and the Dagukou wharf was also full of soldiers on duty - no one could approach the sailor's ships without Su Dadaotai's order.

In this way, they were strictly guarded for nearly 20 days, and by April 10, they finally waited for the news of the arrival of Zhu Cihong's father and son!

When the news arrived at the Yamen of the Sailor, Su Guansheng was talking to Wang Zhixin, the "refugee officer" who had arrived here first, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside the house, not one or two people coming, but a large group of people swarming. They hadn't arrived yet, but the voice had arrived first.

"The emperor is here! The prince is also here! This official is going to escort the car! ”

"Ben Jue is going to escort him, Su Bingbei should let people open the door quickly......"

"Su Bingbei, open the city gate quickly, this official is going to take his family to King Qin!"

Su Guansheng and Wang Zhixin glanced at each other, both of them couldn't laugh or cry, before today, everyone in Dagukou City was looking forward to the northwest wind - so that they could sail south and leave the dangerous place of Beizhili. Why are they all rushing to escort and be the king of diligence today? Now the king is out of danger......

......

Firecrackers rang out, drums played loudly, and the sand boats taken by Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong finally arrived at the Dagukou Maritime Wharf. On the wharf, Su Guansheng and Wang Zhixin had already let people tie up the archway of colorful paintings, and also arranged a band to blow and play, and finally had a little bit of pomp and circumstance for the son of heaven to go out on patrol.

Several high-grade officials and nobles, all neatly dressed in robes, stepped forward solemnly. I saw the musicians standing under the archway blowing hard again, and then in the sound of drums, the filial son Zhu Cihong helped Emperor Chongzhen to step out of the cabin of a large sand boat, Su Guansheng and Wang Zhixin were busy ordering to quickly set up the springboard.

The noble officials waiting on the dock, led by Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of Dingguo, Li Guorui, the Marquis of Wuqing, and Guo Peimin, the Marquis of Wuding, bowed to Chongzhen and Zhu Cihong, who walked off the springboard.

Seeing these loyal ministers who spent money to buy "evading orders" from Zhu Cihong and legally opened up, Emperor Chongzhen's anger will not come to one place! You're all traitors! I begged you to donate your military salaries, and you all cried and pretended to be pitiful, and blinded a wise man like me. As a result, Brother Chun'er's disobedient son used an order to escape from the city to let you be exposed one by one!

Chongzhen is the master who can't rub the sand in his eyes, and when he sees a group of corrupt officials and traitors, he naturally doesn't have a good face. Zhu Cihong nodded with a smile and said loudly: "Get up!" Don't kneel...... There are two things I want to tell you about this palace.

First, the palace was ordered to raise the army, the general internal and external military, and the prime minister. Therefore, the palace will reorganize the imperial court in Dagukou, so as to order the Quartet to fight against the rebellion.

Second, when the palace was in Tianjin, it was reported that after Li Cheng entered Beijing, he began to torture and plunder. Ordered people to build 5,000 pairs of clamping sticks, the clamping sticks are edged and connected by iron nails, and those who do not obey will be crushed their hands and feet! In addition, he also asked people to erect two pillars outside the Fusi in Beizhen for Ling Chi!

According to reliable sources, Chuang Rebel personally set a donation price, and those who have entered the cabinet will be given 100,000 taels, the 24th prison Dajue will also be given 100,000 taels, the six Shangshu and Shilang will be given 80,000 taels, the marquis will be given 300,000 taels, and the earl will be given 200,000 taels...... You are really my wise ministers! Bengong likes smart people the most, follow Bengong in the future, and together I will prosper tomorrow! ”

After saying this, all the wise and loyal Ming courtiers on the Dagukou Marine Terminal were stunned.

Li Zicheng's viciousness was somewhat expected, otherwise they would not have paid for the order to escape.

But Zhu Cihong, the sixteen-year-old prince, was actually ordered to be in charge of the internal and external military, and the prime minister's government, but it greatly exceeded the expectations of the courtiers on the Dagukou wharf.

What's going on?

Emperor Chongzhen looks quite healthy, why did he ignore military affairs and government affairs and leave all the major national affairs to his son?

Could it be that the emperor wanted to emulate Song Huizong? But he didn't abdicate the inner meditation either!

Since there is no inner meditation and he can personally manage government affairs, why did he let his son be the prime minister? This is the ...... It's not in line with the ancestral system, right?

In addition, there seem to be a lot of important ministers who came with the saint and the prince, so why don't they care?

This is the ...... It's weird!

The scene suddenly looked a little embarrassing, and the eyes of the courtiers swam back and forth on the faces of Emperor Chongzhen and the crown prince Zhu Cihong.

After a while, Zhu Cihong coughed and broke the embarrassment: "The palace and my father, the emperor, and the queen mother have worked all the way, so let's settle down first, and the rest of the things will be discussed later." Where is Su Guansheng? ”

"The minister is here!" Su Guansheng hurriedly stepped forward.

Zhu Cihong glanced at him, he was not very old, that is, about forty years old, with a pair of high cheekbones, dark complexion, not tall, thin body, typical Lingnan appearance.

Zhu Cihong nodded and asked with a smile: "Su Bingbei, has the palace been prepared?" ”
