After speaking, Zhu Cihong bowed to Chongzhen and said: "Every time my son sees his father, he is worried and tired, and he can't wait to replace him. Every time I think about my father's worries, the bitter thing is that there is no wealth in the country, no way to calm the civil strife, and no way to control the frontier. The worry is that there are few capable ministers and officials to make the people's livelihood happy. What we hope is that the people will not be trapped by the evils of the government. His Majesty is not disturbed by the filth of the court. But every time I think about this, I find that as a son of man, the so-called prince, I have no one to help my father. The child felt sorry for his father's hard work, but he couldn't help his father. With this in mind, how can we listen to this road of righteousness? If you follow the way of your sons, your sons are more willing to listen to your ministers talk about how to govern the army, how to govern the people, how to manage money, and how to handle general affairs, even if you become a vulgar person, you are not afraid. Because this is the way that the sons want. ”

Liu Zongzhou first heard Zhu Cihong's denial of his doctrine, his eyes widened, and his face was indignant. But when he heard Qin Xia's heartfelt and sincere words, he was greatly emotional, and said: "The prince is filial, and the old minister congratulates His Majesty." ”

Liu Zongzhou is virtuous and noble, and his heart is the same, although his doctrine is not recognized, but seeing that the prince's filial piety is valuable, he naturally praises sincerely. The ministers agreed, but they all hid all kinds of thoughts in their hearts.

In the martial arts class, Tian Wan, the father of Tian Guifei, who was also standing and listening to the lecture in the Wenhua Palace, sneered, and said in his heart: "The current situation of the country is difficult, and with such wisdom and diligence today, it cannot recover a little. What's the use of being filial, a prince who is so stupid that he can't even remember what happened a month ago, what to learn and what to forget, it's good not to be played around by those courtiers and servants, what is the difference between what the gentlemen teach. ”

Emperor Chongzhen didn't look at those ministers, stared at the prince, was slightly emotional, and said to Zhu Cihong: "Brother Hong'er has a heart, I know." Brother Hong is still young, and he has a lot to do in both martial arts and literature. If you want to learn something new, you can ask more gentlemen from the East Palace, and if it is not enough, I will find it from outside the palace. In the future, it seems that I can also talk more about other knowledge, and managing the army is the first place in state affairs. ”

Feeling Chongzhen's love for his fists, Zhu Cihong's heart was warm and he responded heavily.

The emperor spoke, and the ministers rarely did not insist on their opinions, and the atmosphere returned to harmony. If Chongzhen wants to listen to the knowledge of financial management and military management, he naturally has to ask Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, and Li Shi, the secretary of the household department. It's not because of how these two people are so well educated, but among the Confucian ministers, there are a lot of people who talk about their hearts and minds, but when it comes to general affairs, most of them don't know anything.

The emperor wanted to listen to the knowledge of military affairs and finance, and soon, Wang Chengen received the order to go over to find the two.

The news of the Hubu Li Waiter has not yet come, but after a few breaths, Wang Chengen came with two people.

One is Chen Xinjia with a panicked look, and the other is a military man with a pale face and bloody eyes.

This strange combination made a Confucian minister feel strange, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Zhu Cihong looked at the military man, then at Chen Xinjia's wandering gaze, suddenly thought of something, and his heart palpitated.

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Xinjia entered the main hall, he fell to the ground, bowed down, and forced himself to calm down: "The Liaodong Army is here." Hong Chengchou and Jiannu fought a decisive battle in Songshan and Jinzhou, and Huang Taiji secretly ordered Azig to raid Tashan, and seize the twelve piles of grain and grass that our army had accumulated in Bijia Mountain when the tide fell. Due to lack of pay, our army decided to return to Ningyuan for food, and decided to break through the siege and flee south by two routes early tomorrow morning. As soon as Wang Pu, the general soldier of Datong, returned to the camp, he led the men and horses of the headquarters to break through the siege and escape by night, as a result, the commanders competed for galloping, and the horses trampled on each other, in the dark night, our army fought and retreated, the soldiers were scattered, and it was difficult to recognize in the night. The general soldiers Wu Sangui and Wang Pu fled into Xingshan, and the general soldiers Ma Ke and Li Fuming rushed into Tashan. Hong Chengchou and others failed to break through, trapped in Songshan City, organized a breakthrough several times, all failed, and soon the road was exhausted, and the city was exhausted, and the deputy general of Songshan, Xia Chengde, sent people to secretly surrender to the Qing, thinking that it should be internal. On February 18, the city fell, and the superintendent Hong Chengchou, the chief soldier Qiu Minyang, Wang Tingchen, and Cao Bianjiao were killed. Zu Dale was defeated and captured. Jinzhou was besieged, and Zu Dashou asked for help again. This is the sergeant of the urgent military report. ”

After Chen Xinjia finished speaking, the palace was silent.

A Confucian minister was dumbfounded, unable to imagine that Matsuyama, who had persisted in the war for two years, would be defeated in such a hurry. Chongzhen just stood up, but fell down suddenly, barely bracing himself up to make himself appear straight, and wanted to speak, but he didn't say it for a long time.

Zhu Cihong felt an indescribable depression at this moment, a sense of fear that the entire sky suppressed and enveloped his whole body.

Yes, this year is the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the Songjin War ended with the defeat of the Ming side.

At this point, the Ming Dynasty's defense system in Liaodong completely collapsed, and only Ningyuan was left in Liaodong, a lonely city, except for Shanhaiguan, the Ming Dynasty had no reliance to resist the Qing people from the east.

And the Songjin battle was defeated, the elite of the nine stops, and the grain of China were all thrown away. The last fighting force of the Ming Dynasty was completely wiped out, and it lost the last strength to fight with the Qing people.

Soon, the defense line originally maintained by the Ming Dynasty and built with many fortified cities in Ningyuan and Jinzhou will be completely torn apart by Jiannu, and there will be no other garrison except for a lonely city in Ningyuan in Shanhaiguan. The strategic situation is completely passive.

As for Zhu Cihong himself, he traveled to the end of the Ming Dynasty and the last prince of the Ming Dynasty.

Historically, what is the end of him?

Two years later, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, and he became the prince of the dead country. Chongzhen, the father who loved him, first let his mother commit suicide, and then killed the children of the concubines with his own hands, and then hanged himself from the coal mountain, leaving only a lonely chamberlain to accompany him.

Three years later, Zhu Cihong, who had been on the street for a year, was betrayed by his uncle Zhou Kui, and had Dolgon imprisoned for impersonating the prince. Fortunately, with the help of the old and young relics of the Ming Dynasty, he fled to the south of the Yangtze River, and he was not able to rest for a few days, and was found by King Fu to be "invited" into Nanjing. As soon as he entered Nanjing, he was imprisoned by the ruthless King Fu for pretending to be the prince.

Even when the Qing soldiers came to attack in the end, he was rescued by the righteous soldiers in Nanjing, Zhu Cihong did not have the ability to return to heaven, and was soon attacked by the Qing army and was insulted again.

Perhaps the only consolation is that this time, he finally died at the hands of the Qing army Duoduo.

The general trend of history makes him humble even as a prince.

Zhu Cihong closed his eyes in pain, although he was the crown prince, he was named stupid, and because he was young, he was soft-spoken. It seems that nothing can be done!

Now, there's only two years left until that terrible future!

What was left for him was a wild run at the end of the road...... Or the sound of holding a sword and striking each other with a sword, playing a rhapsody of attack!

"Is this where I belong? No...... I will never admit it, let alone give in! An increasingly loud voice rose in Qin Xia's heart: "Now, I'm here." So let's attack together, my Ming! ”
