Then in order to reassure Chongzhen, Zhu Changwu said: "In fact, your Majesty does not need to do anything at all. I will lead the troops out of the city tomorrow, and there may be chaos in the city. By then, your Majesty only needs to stay in the palace to protect your own safety. When the time comes, I will arrange for all the royal guards to enter the palace in advance to protect His Majesty's safety. Then I will wait for the army to return in triumph."
"Is it that simple?" Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard that he didn't have to do almost anything.
"Of course, otherwise, what else can we do? Does Your Majesty want to lead the expedition in person? With me here, there is no need for Your Majesty to take such risks." Zhu Changwu shook his head at first, and then his eyes became determined.
Zhu Changwu's confidence was indeed somewhat infected by Chongzhen. "Okay, that's it. Master Zhu just do it. I will be in the palace, waiting for you to return in triumph with your army. When the time comes, I will personally serve you wine to celebrate."
"Haha, easy to say, easy to say." Zhu Changwu laughed immediately, as if he was a winner at this moment.
After persuading Chongzhen, Zhu Changwu left the palace and went straight to the Yang Mansion, which is the Daming Research Institute.
The modifications here are still going on. After Zhu Changwu arrived, Li Ruolian and Sun Chuang immediately greeted him.
"Your Majesty, Commander." The two men stepped forward and saluted. It could be seen that what they did was from the bottom of their hearts.
"Well, let's stop the process here and seal the door soon." Zhu Changwu sighed while looking at the research institute that was still under construction.
Even though he is very powerful, he is also very resourceful.
It's better to have the Ming army in the city now, but once the troops are dispatched, some people with ulterior motives in the city will definitely take action.
It is not even ruled out that some brave people would rush straight to the palace and assassinate Chongzhen. For the emperor's safety, all the royal guards must be sent back to ensure safety.
"Yes." Although he didn't know why this was the case, since it was Zhu Changwu's order, Li Ruolian would obey it with all his strength.
"Go back and transfer everyone into the palace to protect His Majesty's safety. Remember, without my order, anyone who enters the palace after noon tomorrow will be treated as an assassin and killed without mercy!"
Zhu Changwu was ruthless, but he couldn't be ruthless. Chongzhen's safety must be ensured, otherwise even if he can defeat the intruders, great things will happen to the Ming Dynasty without the emperor.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Li Ruolian and Sun Chuang were stunned for a moment, and then quickly agreed with clasped fists.
Zhu Changwu left the palace first, followed by the renovation of Yang Mansion, and then all the royal guards rushed towards the palace. Bai Bangzheng, who was sent to follow Zhu Changwu, found out all this.
If he was still 100% doubtful before, now he is completely relieved.
Even all the royal guards have been mobilized to the palace. Isn't this the emperor's intention to take action?
Looking back at the current situation, all Chongzhen can do is break out of the encirclement and escape from the capital, so that he can find a way to survive.
"Okay, the great work is right in front of you, right in front of you." After Bai Bangzheng heard the report from his subordinates, his high-spirited heart was completely relieved, and he hummed a ditty, looking excited and excited.
Zhu Changwu felt that someone was following him from the moment he entered the palace. He even knew the identity of the other party, but he didn't reveal it. Since Bai Bangzheng was still not at ease, let him follow him and make him feel completely at ease.
After Zhu Changwu left the Daming Research Institute, he found that the person following him was missing. Someone must be relieved about him, so he headed straight towards Guangning Gate. Shortly afterwards, Wu Linzheng, Hu Yunfeng, Liang Jun and Lou Heyang, who got the news, also arrived here secretly.
In an inconspicuous small courtyard, Zhu Changwu read out his plan to the four people, which made them all gasp.
What is the general going to do?
Are you thinking of counterattack?
Yes, some soldiers have been recruited in the past few days, but they are all new recruits with no combat experience. Can they defeat the Dashun Army that broke out from the troubled times?
Is this... is their young master too arrogant?
After Zhu Changwu finished talking about his plan, he saw several people looking at him with doubts and even disbelief, which made him sigh: "It seems you still don't believe me?"
"No, I trust the young master. The young master takes action. One is worth two... No! One is worth ten, or one is worth a hundred." Liang Jun spoke first.
He is indeed the one who trusts Zhu Changwu the most. This has become a habit since childhood.
As long as the young master said it, it is right.
As long as it is done by the young master, it is correct.
As soon as Liang Jun opened his mouth, Hu Yunfeng immediately said: "I also believe in the young master. I will do whatever the young master says."
"Okay." Zhu Changwu laughed. No matter what, I still have the second general Heng Ha around me who trusts me. I am not alone.
After laughing, Zhu Changwu turned his attention to Wu Linzheng, obviously wanting to see what his opinion was.
When Zhu Changwu saw this, Wu Linzheng shook his head first, and then said: "There are millions of intruders. Even if a general can fight ten thousand, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Dashun Army. It's just... It's just that we have no choice now. Instead of waiting to be beaten by others, it is better to take the initiative to fight out and eventually support the general."
Wu Linzheng had doubts, but in the end he chose to obey the order.
This has nothing to do with whether he believes in Zhu Changwu or not. More importantly, he knows what the situation in the capital is now, and Ming Dynasty has no other choice. Then instead of sitting back and waiting for death, it is better to take the initiative.
Winning is the best, losing is just a matter of death.
Wu Linzheng no longer objected, and General Zhu Changwu set his last sight on Lou Heyang.
"If you absolutely want to fight, you can. I ask our female soldiers to fight together." Lou Heyang looked at Zhu Changwu with no timidity at all. On the contrary, he still wanted to participate in the battle.
"No, you have a more important task this time."
"What mission?" Lou Heyang asked puzzledly. She believed that her martial arts skills were good, especially her marksmanship. Apart from Zhu Changwu, she was the best. If this big operation could not give her a satisfactory job, she would not agree to it.
"Protect the emperor's safety." Zhu Changwu spoke, and with just one sentence, Lou Heyang was already full of words and could no longer say anything.
"Let me tell you, Bai Bangzheng is just the overt force sent by Li Zicheng to the capital, but secretly, none of us know whether there are others arranged. If once the army leaves the city to fight, those people will definitely take action. Therefore, the security of the palace must be taken lightly. General Lou, I know that you are good at shooting, so keeping you here is the last safety barrier."
It seemed that he had been prepared for it. After saying this, Zhu Changwu took out a Type 10 sniper that had been placed behind him and that several people had seen curiously just now, and handed it to Lou Heyang with his own hands. "This sniper rifle will be yours from now on. Its range can reach three thousand meters, which is enough to meet your needs. If someone dares to break into the palace tomorrow, you can use it to kill them."
"Three thousand meters?" Lou Heyang's attention was completely attracted by this Type 10 sniper.
The previous Type 191 was also very good, but it could only hit a few hundred steps, but this big sniper could hit more than two thousand steps. The killing distance alone made her fall in love with it. "Okay, I agreed. I will bring more than 900 female soldiers into the palace tomorrow. I want to see who comes here who is not afraid of death."
Lou Heyang was a little excited. She had even thought about how she could show off her power in front of more than 900 female soldiers.
She believed that after this battle, all female soldiers would regard her as their idol. When she leads these people in the future, they will be very obedient and worship her.
Lou Heyang agreed, and Zhu Changwu breathed a sigh of relief.
When facing men, he can use military orders to make them obey.
But when it comes to women, like Lou Heyang, once she becomes unreasonable, he really has no good solution.
Fortunately, it only cost him a sniper shot to make the other party relent and obey his orders, which made him feel that it was a very good deal.
"Okay, since everyone has no problem, let's assemble the troops around ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and then pull them outside the Zhanghua Gate in the name of review, and we will attack the enemy from there. Xiao Liangzi, you will go there in a moment Inform Zhang Yi and ask him to carry four hundred boxes of silver outside the city tomorrow afternoon."
In this day and age, if you talk to the people about family, country, and world, the effect may not be very good. But when real money and silver are placed there, it's completely different.
I believe that with this real money, the so-called military morale will soon become high. By then, even if they are new recruits, as long as they can use knives and chop, they can still kill the enemy. Kill a lot of enemies.
...
The tent of King Dashun at Marco Polo Bridge.
Li Zicheng sat at the head of the table, with obvious joy on his face.
The Ming army was finally about to take action, which made him put aside his previous doubts.
It is said that Li Zicheng is indeed a little unable to hold on. Hundreds of thousands of troops are just outside the capital city, and they consume an unknown amount of food every day just by eating horse chews.
He can hold on for a day or two, but what about a long time?
Under the slogan that King Chuang would not pay for food when he came, he had no way to collect food, let alone openly grab food. Seeing that the supplies were decreasing day by day, how could he not be anxious.
Now, the Ming army is finally going to take action. They only need to wait for one day and victory will be in their hands. At this time, he is naturally in a good mood.
Not only Li Zicheng, but also everyone in the meeting was a little excited.
