Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 231

The second floor of Yuchuan Palace Pavilion is the place where Auntie Zhu rests and handles government affairs, so this meeting was held in the "dining room" and "living room" on the first floor.

The reason why I was not outside was because it was raining lightly.

Electric lights are installed on the first floor, and there are solar panels on the royal ship, which can also be linked to generate electricity through steam boilers, so the first floor is brightly lit.

Auntie Zhu sat inside, with a table and chairs alone, facing the door on the first floor.

Hong Niangzi, Zeng Ying, Yang Zhan, and Liu Wenxiu sat on both sides, except for Hong Niangzi, the other three were quite reserved.

Hearing Auntie Zhu's words, Zeng Ying didn't intend to speak at all—he only joined the military last year, and he had never fought against Li Chuang's men. He had heard of the famous generals under Li Zicheng's command, but Bai Wang and Ren Guangrong It was the first time he had heard of the name.

Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Hong Niangzi said without hesitation: "I have been in the army for several years, so let me tell you about it.

Bai Wang is also an old man who followed Li Zicheng in his early years and won Li Zicheng's trust.

This person's fighting ability is average, but his comprehensive ability is good, so when Li Zicheng went north to Sanqin to deal with Sun Chuanting, he appointed Bai Wang as the Anle Jiedu envoy.

Baiwang's main task was to prevent Zuo Liangyu and other officers and soldiers from copying the Shun army's back route, and to calm down the local rebels who rebelled against the Shun army.

Li Zicheng has been going north for two or three years. Apart from asking Tian Jianxiu for help once, Bai Wang can rely on the more than 5 soldiers left by Li Zicheng to guard the Jianghan area well most of the time. There are few generals who can stand alone. "

Hearing what Hong Niangzi said, Aimee Zhu remembered the later records about Bai Wang.

Bai Wang's ability in commanding the army and fighting is indeed mediocre, otherwise he would not have been unknown when Li Zicheng moved to the world.

However, his ability to govern and govern one side is indeed outstanding in the Shun army. During his tenure as the Anle Jiedushi, he can be regarded as selecting talents and talents, constantly calming down the resistance of local gentry, and governing the Jianghan area well.

Later, when Li Zicheng arrived, he asked Bai Wang to lead the troops under his command as the former army, and first cross the river to Jiangnan.

Bai Wang refused.

At that time, he had already managed more than 7 troops. He also said that De'an City, which he mainly operated, was strong, and the surrounding villages were salty, and he wanted to stay and resist the Qing army on the spot.

It's a pity that Li Zicheng had already been terrified by the Qing army at that time, and he only wanted to flee to the south of the Yangtze River, so he didn't agree with Bai Wang's proposal at all.

In desperation, Bai Wang had no choice but to lead the more elite troops under his command to leave Jianghan for the former army and go to Jiangnan.

Not long after Li Zicheng died in Jiugong Mountain, Tongcheng, all the ministries of the Chuang army were confused after hearing the news.

The [-] to [-] troops that Li Zicheng left to Bai Wang were acquired by He Yilong who annexed Luo Rucai and the five Ge Zuo tribes.

Hearing of Li Zicheng's death, Wang Tizhong, suspected of Luo Rucai or He Yilong's former troops, took advantage of the chaos in the army to assassinate Bai Wang, and controlled most of the troops led by Bai Wang to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

In the words of Hao Guangming, Bai Wang is a player who likes to engage in farming, management and defense. The highlight moment of his life is the period of Ren Anle Jiedushi.

Thinking of these, Aimee Zhu has a rough idea of ​​what kind of person Bai Wang is.

At this time, the red lady said again: "Ren Guangrong and his brother Ren Jirong both joined Li Zicheng in the Huguang belt department, and both of them have good military capabilities, especially Ren Jirong, who was appointed by Li Zicheng as the forward general of the Zhongying.

As for Ren Guangrong, his military ability was not as good as Ren Jirong's, but not too bad.But I haven't had much contact with them, so I don't know much about them. "

There are not many records about Ren Guangrong in later generations. We only know that there is Zheng Siwei under him. When Ren Guangrong followed Li Zicheng to Jiangnan, he left this person to assist in the defense and make Meng Changgeng guard Jingzhou. In the end, Zheng Siwei killed Meng Changgeng and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. .

Later, Zuo Liangyu's subordinate Ma Jinzhong joined forces with Li Guo, Gao Yigong and others, with hundreds of thousands of troops and a battalion of tens of miles, besieging Jiangling City.

In the end, due to the poor equipment of the Shun army, the long journey they had made, the low morale after hearing that King Chuang had died, and various conflicts with Nanming, they failed to capture Jiangling.

Of course, this is also related to Zheng Siwei's adequate preparations. At that time, Zheng Siwei not only had sufficient food and grass, but also Jiangling City (Jingzhou Prefecture) was also newly built, and there were Hongyi cannons sent by the Qing army.

Comparing the two, it is not surprising that Shunjun and Ma Jinzhong's troops could not attack.

Withdrawing her thoughts, Zhu Wei looked at the other three and asked, "Do you have anything else to say about Huguang?"

Zeng Ying and Yang Zhan still didn't speak, but Liu Wenxiu hesitated, and said: "Jiangling City has been reduced to ruins after the previous battle. However, its geographical location is dangerous, and the Shun Army may have rebuilt defensive facilities there."

Aunt Zhu nodded, "You're right. According to what I know, Meng Changgeng, the defense envoy of Jingzhou, has been building Jiangling City before, and it's almost finished by now."

After Auntie Zhu finished speaking, Zeng Yingcai said: "Is Jian Guo going to take in Shunjun from Yiling, Jingzhou and other places?"

Aunt Zhu said: "If there is an opportunity, of course I can't let it go."

Hearing this, Zeng Ying said: "I think that if we want to go to Nanzhili as our main goal, and our navy is tyrannical, we can completely ignore the puppet Shun and defend the Huguang area, just go down the river.

Of course, if the Shun Army has a strong navy in the Huguang area, we may be delayed. "

Hearing this, Hao Guangming on the other side couldn't help nodding.

The only artillery that could block the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty at this time was the Hongyi cannon, but the Huguang Shun army probably didn't have it.

Therefore, although places such as Badong, Guizhou, Yiling, Jingzhou, Gongan, and Hankou on the Yangtze River are dangerous, they still need a strong enough navy to intercept the enemy on the river.

If the Shun army didn't have a strong navy in Huguang, they really couldn't do anything with Zhu Wei, a powerful team.

At most, it's going to be a iron chain Hengjiang.

Aimee Zhu knew all of these things through communicating with Hao Guangming.

She said: "I know that the biggest obstacle for us to go to Nanzhili is actually the Zuo Liangyu Department stationed in Wuchang Mansion.

However, the situation in Nanzhili is complicated. In order to avoid some troubles, I don't want to go too early. We just need to arrive before the Qing army attacks Yangzhou City.

In addition, even if there is no chance for Huguang to accept the Shun army, I still have to meet some Huguang officials, which will definitely delay some time.

Therefore, when you arrive in Huguang, you still need to make all armies ready for battle. "

Hearing this, Hong Niangzi and the four of them got up together, clasped their fists and bowed to Aimi Zhu, "Obey!"

After the meeting, Hong Niangzi and others returned to their respective boats by boat.

Zhu Yu went up to the second floor of the palace pavilion.

The second floor is slightly smaller than the first floor, and is divided into two rooms inside and outside.Inside is Aimee Zhu's bedroom, and outside is where she handles government affairs.

However, in order to serve Aimi Zhu conveniently, Lianqiao and Liu Zhu usually take turns staying outside on the second floor.

Auntie Zhu returned to the bedroom, closed the door, and made a normal video call with Hao Guangming on her mobile phone.

"It's really uncomfortable to be on the boat for a long time. I really want to go there." Aimee Zhu looked at Hao Guangming on the phone, and her words were somewhat coquettish.

After all, she is only a 16-year-old girl. It is impossible to wear the mask of "supervising the country" all the time, and she needs to relax.

But only in front of Hao Guangming can she truly relax.

Especially every time she gets tired of being with Hao Guangming, she will feel as if her heart has been injected with strength, even if she just takes a nap, she will become more energetic.

Therefore, even if Hao Guangming would make small moves when she was tired of being together, she would be happy with it.

Hao Guangming laughed after hearing Aimee Zhu's words, "You can't come now, or you'll fall into the river if you go back.

Hold on for another two or three hours, when it will be dark, the navy ships will be anchored, and you will be able to come. "
