Fifteen years after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, at this time most of China had already been lost by the Qing army, the Yongli Emperor fled to Kunming, and was protected by Li Dingguo, who controlled Yunnan and Guizhou, and the Ming army, which was still resisting in Sichuan, Huguang, Fujian, and Guangxi, also regarded Yongli Tianzi as orthodox and insisted on fighting the Qing army.

Although Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who rebelled against the Ming court, have long since died, there are not many existing regular troops in the Ming court, so Zhang Xianzhong's remaining troops in the western camp and Li Zicheng's remaining troops in the camp have now become the two major army systems supporting the Ming court, and the descendants of the Ming court are very weak compared to the two major systems of the camp and the western camp. The current commander of Xiying is Li Dingguo, who sits in Yunnan to protect the Son of Heaven of Yongli, and is named the king of Jin by Yongli; The main force in Sichuan and Hubei were the officers and soldiers of the former camp, who also accepted the titles and official positions of the Ming court.

By the time this winter came, the Yongli court was already in danger, and Wu Sangui's army passed through Sichuan from north to south, intending to destroy the Southern Ming regime in Kunming in one fell swoop. In order to support the resistance of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin, the Ming army in Sichuan was fully mobilized and attacked Chóngqìng as best they could, trying to share the pressure on Yunnan.

Yuan Zongdi, the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops this afternoon and hurried to the foot of Chóngqìng City to camp with Tan Wen, a Ming general who had arrived earlier. Yuan Zongdi was a subordinate of Li Zicheng in the past, while Tan Wen had always been a member of the Ming Dynasty's army and was now named Marquis of Fu by Yongli.

As soon as he was busy with the matter of setting up a camp, someone came to report that he had found a person of unknown origin, and the people below did not know how to deal with it, so he asked Yasukuni to make a decision.

"A man of unknown origin?" Yuan Zongdi was very puzzled when he heard this, he asked if the origin was unknown, and if he didn't say it, he would be punished and served, if he wanted to ask him about this kind of trivial matter, then Yuan Zongdi felt that he was definitely too busy.

"The prince forgives his sins, this person is really weird everywhere." The officer who came to report said that the unknown person claimed to be called Deng Ming, and when he questioned him, he insisted that he had amnesia, and he didn't remember his background or experience, but he remembered his name and remembered that he was from Beizhili. The spies who found Deng Ming reported that from this person's words, it could be seen that he had the Ming Dynasty in mind, and according to the observation of the officers, he did not look like the Jiān of the Tatars, and that he was a talented literati, so he reported it to Yuan Zongdi.

Listening to the cause and effect of the officer, Yuan Zongdi couldn't help but be a little curious, and said: "Since this person can blurt out the word 'Da Ming' and store his own hair, most of them want to defect to our army, but why do you claim to have amnesia?" ”

As the military shape of the Ming army became worse and worse, and many people dared to defect to the Ming army under the rule of the Qing army, Yuan Zongdi had a similar idea to the officer who interrogated Deng Ming: If the other party is really a rare righteous man who came to join the army, it is not appropriate to torture and interrogate after all, it is better to ask Yan Yue sè. Yuan Zongdi thought in his heart: "There are too few literate people here in me, and there is no one who is willing to come to me for many years." ”

Thinking of this, Yuan Zongdi ordered Deng Ming to be brought to see him, and the officer took the order and left.

There are two young guards around Yuan Zongdi at this moment, one is named Zhou Kaihuang, his father followed Yuan Zongdi for many years, and later died in a war with the Qing army; Another named Zhao Tianba, who was originally from the western camp of Zhang Xianzhong's army, came to the Sichuan Ming army as the envoy of Li Dingguo, the king of Jin. Yuan Zongdi had a good impression of Zhao Tianba, and felt that this young man was very modest, and Yuan Zongdi also needed to have a good relationship with the imperial court in Yunnan, so Yuan Zongdi always took him with him.

"If it's really a scholar who comes to vote, then of course I have to be courteous." Before the visitor was brought in, Yuan Zongdi had already made up his mind.

After Deng Ming was brought into the tent, he felt at a loss. Because he didn't know anything about the current politics, he could only deal with the interrogation of the Ming army officers just now, and he could only deal with it with "forget all about it". Now looking at the three people opposite, Deng Ming kept beating the drum in his heart, feeling that he might not be able to get this level.

"You are so rude!" The four people in the tent looked at each other for a long time, and Zhou Kaihuang couldn't hold his breath at first, and shouted angrily: "How dare you not give a salute to the Yasukuni Gong?" ”

Deng Ming didn't know anything about how to give gifts in the Ming Dynasty, he guessed that in China's feudal dynasties, the common people might need to kneel and kowtow in the face of the generals, but they didn't know how to kowtow a few heads, what were the particulars and rules. Deng Ming remembered that he seemed to have read it in a book, the literati of the Ming Dynasty could see the official but not worship, just now when the officer asked him if he was a showman, Deng Ming replied vaguely, and now Suo xìng pretended to be in the end, hoping to be able to confuse the past, so he faced Yuan Zong's first long bow to the ground: "I have seen Lord Guogong." ”

Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba frowned at the same time, this etiquette was nondescript, and Deng Ming did not report any self-proclaim.

However, Yuan Zongdi seemed very generous, and he didn't seem to feel Deng Ming's arrogance at all, but said with a smile: "Mr. Deng, please take a seat." ”

Deng Ming looked around the tent, walked to a chair that was relatively close and sat down: "Thank you...... Oh, thank you, Kokuko-sama. ”

Zhou Kaihuang couldn't help clenching his fists, and just waited for Yuan Zong's first order, he dragged this arrogant and rude maniac out of the camp and beat him violently. However, it seems that Yuan Zongdi's mood today seems to be unprecedentedly good, and he still turns a blind eye to Deng Ming's rudeness, and talks to Deng Ming with Yan Yue.

Sure enough, as the officer said, as long as it involves his background and his parents' family, Deng Ming will be treated with amnesia, Yuan Zongdi did not delve into it, but changed his words: "Today, this prince is under the express order of the imperial court to crusade against the chóngqìng thieves, does Mr. Deng have a good plan to teach me?" ”

"An order from the imperial court?" Deng Ming's face couldn't hide his dazedness. Unexpectedly, the Qing court could meet the Ming army in the Sichuan territory during the Shunzhi period, this incident was enough to make him strange, why did the Ming court continue to issue orders? He didn't dare to delve into the details of the other party, but muttered in his heart: Most of the court they are talking about refers to the court of Yongli, right? I wonder how many years this court can last? It should be a short time!

"Yes, the Wu thief raised his army to commit the crime, and the king of Jin wanted the prince to obtain the chóngqìng to cut off the Wu thief's retreat......"

Zhou Kaihuang confirmed that Yuan Zongdi's mood today was indeed unprecedentedly good, and he actually began to tell this person of unknown origin about the military situation. Last year, Sun Kewang, the old department of Xiying, surrendered to the Qing court, and after the Qing court learned the details of Yunnan and Guizhou from Sun Kewang, it decided to attack Yunnan and sent Wu Sangui, who surrendered to the Qing court, as the commander of the army. At the same time, the Qing troops in Huguang and Jiangxi also marched west to support Wu Sangui under the leadership of Hong Chengchou.

It was for this reason that Zhao Tianba came, and he rushed to Badong in disguise to contact the former Dashun army who had resisted here, and asked them to try to cut off the Yangtze River shipping and prevent the Qing court from transporting grain and grass for Wu Sangui through the Yangtze River. However, this goal was not easy to achieve, the Qing court collected a large number of ships from Nanzhili, Jiangxi and other places, and each grain fleet was heavily protected, although the weak Sichuan Ming army naval division had the advantage of the home field, but it was difficult to completely cut off shipping.

Therefore, the Ming generals thought that the effective way was to capture Chóngqìng, after all, only the port of Chóngqìng could accommodate so many ships, and there were also large enough warehouses and good roads. In July, the Ming army tried to attack Chóngqìng once, but Wu Sangui, who had already reached Zunyi, heard the news and returned to the division and repelled the Ming army. After hearing that Wu Sangui had attacked Yunnan with Guò Zunyi last month, the Sichuan and Eming armies mobilized again in a big way, intending to storm Chóngqìng again. Yuan Zongdi and Tan Wen were the vanguard of this attack on Chóngqìng, and Li Laiheng, Liu Tichun, Hao Shaoqi and others were also on their way to Chóngqìng.

After listening to Yuan Zongdi for a while, Deng Ming had a little understanding of the current shape. He thought that the "Wu thief" in the other party's mouth might be Wu Sangui, because this guy is too famous. However, another "King of Jin" repeatedly mentioned, Deng Ming was a little confused.

"Wu thief Wu Sangui." After Deng Ming tentatively said the name, he found that the expression of the person opposite was normal, and he knew that he had not guessed wrong. Then he suddenly remembered the famous Li Dingguo, although he didn't know much about the history of the Ming Dynasty, he still knew that this great hero was the last defender of the Ming Dynasty's court.

"Could it be that Li Dingguo's title is the king of Jin?" Deng Ming secretly thought that the prospects of the Ming army were not optimistic, and most of the large-scale military operations of the Ming army would fail miserably, and it was Wu Sangui's attack that destroyed the Yongli court in history. In order to try his guess, he catered to Yuan Zongdi against his will: "King Li Jin's Shenwu will definitely be able to defeat the Wu thief!" ”

"What Mr. Deng said is very true." Yuan Zongdi laughed, and he seemed to be quite satisfied with Deng Ming's answer.

Deng Ming was overjoyed when he saw that his guess was accurate and did not show his feet, and his words were liked by the other party, but he didn't notice that Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba, who were left and right by Yuan Zongdi, frowned slightly: a grass man of unknown origin actually dared to add his surname before his title when calling the prince.

After talking a few more words, Yuan Zongdi suddenly asked Yan Yue, "Mr. Deng must not have eaten yet, right?" ”

Of course, Deng Ming had been starving for two days, and this afternoon he had been trying to distinguish edible mushrooms by self-taught, but unfortunately he had not succeeded, or he was not hungry enough to dare to eat them.

"Come on, please ask Mr. Deng to go to the back account for dinner." Yuan Zongdi, the Duke of Jingguo of the Ming Dynasty, called the guards loudly, and without waiting for Deng Ming to thank him, Yuan Zongdi glanced at the strange clothes on Deng Ming's body, and added: "Mr. may wish to take a bath before eating." ”

Deng Ming came out of Yuan Zongdi's camp, and he was very glad that he was able to get through the trick. When he was asked by the Ming army officer earlier, Deng Ming was worried that his life would not be guaranteed, and if the other party used rough words, he would definitely not be able to bear it. Even if Deng Ming recruited all the real situation from hundreds of years later, the other party would still think that he was talking nonsense, and maybe he would be tortured to death as a Jiān of the Qing court.

"At this time, it is really still popular with scholars," the joy of escaping death made Deng Ming feel dizzy for a while, and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart when he followed the guards to take a bath and eat: "Fortunately, I had an idea, pretending to be a scholar and pretending to be a talent, and the people of the Ming Dynasty respected the teacher, and they saw that I spoke in a crepe, and when they saw that the official did not kowtow, most of them thought I was a showman...... Moreover, who said that the ancients did not pay attention to hygiene, didn't this also regard bathing as important as eating? I didn't expect to arrange for me to take a bath! ”

After Deng Ming left, Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba set their eyes on Yuan Zongdi together, who restrained his smile and stroked his beard and groaned.

"Such a rude fanatic," as Yuan Zongdi's personal guard, Zhou Kaihuang finally asked after waiting for a while: "Why didn't Guogong punish him severely?" ”

"Unruly, regardless of the dignity and humility, rude to the King of Jin and his father, he should be dragged out and beaten to death." Yuan Zongdi said in a deep voice.

Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba were silent. From the expressions of the two of them, it was shown that what Yuan Zongdi said was of course right, but he was very puzzled why he was so tolerant of strangers today.

"If it's someone else, of course!" Although the person who came was no longer in the account, Yuan Zongdi still used the honorific title: "But this Deng ...... Mr. Deng, I think he may be a clan. ”

"Clan!"

Zhou Kaihuang shouted in surprise, although Zhao Tianba could calm down, but his face could not hide his surprise.

"Since Jian's captives, most of the clan's children in the Ming Dynasty have been incognito, and the soldiers are in chaos, and no one dares to run around, so it is almost impossible for us to meet a clan's children." Yuan Zongdi expressed the suspicions in Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba's hearts at this time, and he also had a similar puzzle: "However, which of the two of you knows what kind of fabric his clothes are?" ”

Zhou Kaihuang admitted that he didn't know, Zhao Tianba thought for a while and shook his head and said, "Please also ask the prince to teach." ”

Yuan Zongdi was a general under Li Zicheng that year, Li Zicheng broke Luoyang to capture the Fu King, Kexi to capture the King of Qin, he was on the side of the king, and after the founding of the Great Shun, he was a well-known general. Both Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba knew that Yuan Zongdi was well-informed, and they might recognize that this was something used by the emperor's relatives.

I don't want Yuan Zongdi to shake his head and say: "I don't know, even in the mansions of King Fu and King Qin, I have never seen such a jīng fabric." ”

"Something that I haven't even seen in the prince's mansion......" Thinking of this, Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba glanced at each other, and they both saw the same shock in each other's eyes as in their hearts.

Yuan Zongdi glanced at Zhao Tianba, knowing that he would have to report to the imperial court and the Yongli Heavenly Son sooner or later, so it was pointless to hide it from the other party, and he also needed Zhao Tianba to be a witness: "Have you noticed his teeth and appearance?" ”

Zhao Tianba and Zhou Kaihuang looked at each other again when they heard this, the guy who called himself Deng Ming just now was undoubtedly a white-faced scholar, not like the yellow and thin appearance of a poor family, but when it came to teeth, the two of them really didn't pay special attention.

"His teeth are very straight, not the slightest jagged." Yuan Zongdi sighed slightly in his heart, although Zhou Kaihuang was a young man, he was smart, but after all, he had never traveled far, and he had seen too few people, and his observation was far from being exercised. After Deng Ming came in just now, Yuan Zongdi didn't say a few words to him, and found that the other party's teeth were not only neat but also very white, not missing, not in and out of the outside, not at all like ordinary people: "You are right, this Mr. Deng looks like he is well fed and clothed, and there is no shortage of food and clothing, do you know how to get such teeth and face?" ”

The two young men couldn't answer.

"Since I was a child, I ate fine grains every meal, except for white flour and rice, and as for meat, I only ate meat and didn't gnaw bones." Probably only the children of extremely wealthy families have been pampered since childhood, and there are doctors and subordinates by their side to serve, it is possible to have such snow-white teeth and such moist skin and appearance, which is difficult for even the sons of ordinary rich families to do. Yuan Zongdi sighed lightly: "If it weren't for the Heavenly Family, how could there be such wealth?" ”

Yuan Zongdi called the guards, first instructed them to prepare food for today's newcomers, and after thinking about it, he added: "To give this Mr. Deng some meat, just chop a piece of pork leg, but remember to remove more meat, as long as there is a little meat left on the bones." ”

A soldier came in and reported and boiled hot water for Deng Ming, he had already gone to take a bath, and the soldiers took the opportunity to take Deng Ming's clothes according to Yuan Zongdi's order.

Yuan Zongdi took Deng Ming's coat and shook it, it looked like a cotton jacket, the inside and surface of the cotton jacket were slippery, and there were several pockets sewn on the body, but unlike the ordinary cotton jacket, a cotton hat was also sewn. He was shocked again: "It looks quite thick, but it's so light and so soft?" ”

After a little thought, Yuan Zongdi used this dress to cushion his palm and held the sword at his waist - he couldn't feel the coldness of the sword at all.

"What kind of fabric is this? It feels like silk, but it's not, it's much lighter than a cotton coat, but it's quite warm, it's really unheard of. Yuan Zongdi handed the clothes to Zhou Kaihuang and Zhao Tianba and asked them to take a look at them as well. The two young men were naturally even more inexplicable, touching and pinching a few times, and their hearts were shocked. How do they know that in the era when Deng Ming lived, this was just an ordinary down jacket.

At the same time, the soldiers also brought Deng Ming's tourist shoes. When talking to Deng Ming, Yuan Zongdi kept secretly speculating about what kind of boots the other party was wearing, but after all, he couldn't understand it. At this time, the Ming Dynasty Jingguo Gong and his two guards officers studied Deng Ming's pair of stinky shoes, but after studying it for a while, they couldn't say a reason for the upper and sole of this strange pair of shoes.

"There is no doubt that it should be the clan." After seeing these jīng clothes, Zhou Kaihuang also agreed with Yuan Zongdi's judgment: "But I don't know which prince's family it is." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, you can ask slowly after you capture chóngqìng." Since it was judged that the other party was a clan, Yuan Zongdi did not intend to urge: "This Deng ...... It's not that this little prince doesn't know how to be humble and humble, nor is he lacking courtesy, perhaps, he feels that he is the one in his heart. ”

"I wonder what's in your clothes?" Zhao Tianba took out Deng Ming's pocket.

"There won't be anything, in such a troubled world, who will bring something that exposes their identity with them?" Based on his own experience, Yuan Zongdi thought that he would not find any clues. Since the Qing court searched for and killed the close branches of the Ming Dynasty, the children of the clan have scattered and hid incognito, and Deng Ming will naturally be no exception. It's just that as soon as the words came out, Yuan Zongdi became unsure again, Deng Ming didn't feel like a person who knew how to hide himself just now, and his expression and movements showed the immaturity of a young man.

"Could it be that this little prince used to have loyal servants to follow and protect, and now the people who followed him are all lost, leaving only this little prince to escape alone?" Yuan Zongdi guessed, and finally reached out to touch the pocket of the down jacket to see what unexpected gains could be made.

As a result, there was really an unexpected gain, and Yuan Zongdi reached out and found a string of beads.

After seeing this string of beads, Yuan Zongdi's throat tightened, and he involuntarily swallowed a large mouthful of saliva.

Although Yuan Zongdi did not attack Běijīng with Li Zicheng, he had also seen the treasures in the palace, and Li Zicheng had solemnly given him a string of pearls in the palace. Yuan Zongdi planned to pass on the string of jewels as a family heirloom from generation to generation. But compared with the string of beads in front of him, Yuan Zongdi's string was dwarfed.

The pearl is a piece of sand that enters the shell of the mussel, and because the mussel feels uncomfortable, it constantly wraps the sand layer by layer with a secretion, and over time it forms a crystal dazzling pearl. Most of the naturally occurring pearls are not very round, with slight protrusions, which are due to the grains of sand. Therefore, large and round pearls are rarely seen, and one can be regarded as a treasure.

By the time Deng Ming was born, there was the technology of cultured pearls, and the technology of artificial pearls. Artificial pearl is a semi-solid forming material that is mixed with resin, filler and other things, heated, coated with a metal film, pressurized, coated with pearl material, and then sprayed to make artificial pearl with natural pearl-like brilliance. Deng Ming's pocket is filled with such a string of artificial pearls, which are large, pure, and flawless. This string of beads was put in Deng Ming's pocket and used as a prop when he was ready to paint.

"What is this?" Zhou Kaihuang didn't know this thing at all.

"It's a pearl." Yuan Zongdi muttered.

"This is a pearl!" Zhou Kaihuang was very excited, and leaned over in a fuss: "I have to take a good look!" ”

"Pearls can be so beautiful." Yuan Zongdi's voice followed with a deep sigh. He gently turned the beads over and over again and looked at them several times, without a trace of yellow, and took a photo of his face in his hand, so that he could clearly see his facial features.

Yuan Zongdi found that Zhao Tianba didn't say a word, so he turned around and handed him the beads: "This is the pearl." ”

"I know it under the mark. When the prince of Jin got married, the emperor gave the prince of Jin a string of jewels, marking that he had a chance to see it. ”

"No wonder Brother Zhao is not rare," Zhou Kaihuang heard the gift of today's son, and took it for granted that "it must be a hundred times more brilliant than this bead." ”

In fact, Zhao Tianba also has a string of beads at home. His father was a veteran general in Xiying, and when he was a child, he saw his father have a string of beads, and he never showed them to others. His father mysteriously told him that he had gotten it from the Shu Palace. The beads were a little yellow, not too uniform in size, and not too round, which my father said was normal, and it was already a rare treasure. The prince of Jin got married, showing off the string of jewels given by the Son of Heaven, Zhao Tianba happened to have the opportunity to take a look, although it was a little bigger and whiter than the string that his father treasured, but the beads were not very round.

After hearing Zhou Kaihuang's words, Zhao Tianba shook his head again and again: "How can there be?" This string of beads is round and smooth, it is simply not like a thing in the world, and the string of the prince of Jin is absolutely incomparable. It's just that the beads are big and bright, but it's rare that they are all the same size, as if they were made out of a mold. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, how could you believe that there was such a thing in the world?! ”

Zhou Kaihuang smiled and said, "This is too exaggerated, right?" ”

"It's not an exaggeration," Yuan Zongdi said softly: "What Zhao Qianhu said is good, and I can't believe that this thing is actually owned by the world." ”

In the era when there were no artificial pearls, it was rare to have large pearls. Historically, the Russian Tsar searched the world and purchased a number of pure white pearls of roughly the same size as a pearl crown, which was regarded as priceless by all countries at the time. Now a string of treasures of the same level was placed in front of Yuan Zongdi.

"Such a jewel is casually placed in this pocket, and it is not wrapped at all." Yuan Zongdi held the string of pearls and carefully put it back into the pocket of his down jacket.

There was silence in the camp for a long time, and then Yuan Zongdi's voice sounded again: "I heard that the whereabouts of the crown prince are unknown. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's Empress Zhou gave birth to three sons, Yuan Zongdi heard that the three princes had lost their traces, and after seeing the beads, he remembered this legend and suspected it. Even if you meet someone like Deng Ming, you must report to the Son of Heaven and the imperial court, and you must have a name.

"Well, it doesn't seem the right age." Zhao Tianba said hesitantly.

"What about the second prince?"

"It still seems to be a little smaller."

"What about the third prince?" Yuan Zongdi did not forgive.

"It seems ......" Zhao Tianba and Zhou Kaihuang both felt that even the third son of Emperor Chongzhen should be thirty years old by now, but Deng Ming looked like he was in his early twenties at most. The two of them had no idea after seeing the bead, and Zhao Tianba said uncertainly: "The Heavenly Family is pampered, and it is possible to look young, maybe the third prince Jiashen was only four or five years old when he was young?" The soldiers are in chaos, and I can't remember the mark clearly. ”

"Ten have 仈jiǔ." Yuan Zong said for the first time, and asked people to send Deng Ming's clothes back.

Deng Ming always felt that his clothes were too eye-catching in this era, so he happily changed into the new clothes provided to him by the Ming army and wrapped the old clothes in a burden.

The food given to Deng Ming was a piece of multigrain cake and a bone stick. Deng Ming was already hungry, and he stuffed the cake into his stomach after dividing it by two, and the meat and bone made Deng Ming even more greedy, and he gnawed the muscles on it cleanly, and when he couldn't even find a single shredded meat, he reluctantly put it down.

The accompanying Ming soldiers waited patiently for Deng Ming to finish eating, and told him that the Duke of Jingguo was busy with official duties tonight, and asked him to rest early. When Deng Ming heard this, a stone fell to the ground in his heart, and he felt that if he talked too often, he would probably show his feet. Following the Ming soldiers to the tent given to him, Deng Ming has been thinking hard since he lay down, recalling the stories of the Ming Dynasty scholars he has seen, and thinking about his speech and behavior when dealing with the Ming generals in the future.

At the same time, Yuan Zongdi was inspecting the leftover bone stick that Deng Ming had eaten that his subordinates sent him, looking at this smooth but intact hind leg bone, Yuan Zongdi snorted with dissatisfaction and regret: "Still playing the score!" When is it still arranged, but I didn't even smash the bone marrow and eat it, it's a pity, it's a pity. ”

After some careful consideration, Yuan Zongdi concluded that Deng Ming had a group of loyal guards and eunuchs around him when he fled from the palace, so he had never suffered all these years, and these loyal subordinates also brought a lot of treasures to keep Deng Ming free of food and clothing. Recently, I don't know what happened, the biggest possibility is that Xìng was noticed by the Qing court, so the guards scattered, and when they arrived near Chóngqìng, the last entourage was also separated from him or sacrificed.

People like Yuan Zongdi who broke into the camp are full of worries about the future, and even if the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty are expelled, it is still unknown what the emperor will do with them. For example, Hao Shaoqi found a king of Dong'an, such as a treasure, like a bodhisattva, the picture is just that if the Ming Dynasty is prosperous in the future, there can be a Zhu family to say two good words for him. The king of Han, who fled from Shanxi to Huguang, and the generals of the eastern revolution, including Yuan Zongdi, also flattered and even wrote to the imperial court collectively, asking the king of Han to stay in the army of Sichuan, Hubei and Ming. What Yuan Zongdi and they are counting on is also to be able to have a good relationship with the noble prince, and if the Ming court settles accounts in the future, no one will speak for them.

Over the years, Yuan Zongdi's relationship with King Han has not been too close, and he also wants to find a child of the clan to be his talisman, but he has not been able to find it. Now a Deng name suddenly appeared in front of him, not to mention that the king of Dong'an County protected by Hao Shaoqi is far from being comparable, even the Prince Han who is trying his best to flatter the generals of the east seems to be very inferior, which is nothing more than a great joy for Yuan Zongdi.

Then he fell into deep thought: "Why did the third prince have this name? Deng Ming, Deng Ming? Dengming? The Great Treasure of Dengming? Or: Minden? Ascend to the throne tomorrow? Ascending to the throne with a clear face? Or is it a beacon? The lamp of the brightness, the bright light of the world? What is the meaning of this name? ”
