Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 282 Huang Degong wanted to be a lonely brave man, but he knew he was a real dragon when he saw the princess
"What do you think, Lord Hou?" Huang Fei asked after the envoy left.

Huang Degong frowned and said: "The seal on the imperial decree and the handwriting of the first emperor seem to me to be true, but I can't guarantee that it is not a forgery.

But if it's a forgery, why bother with a 'photo'? Wouldn't it be more convincing to just bring the forged imperial decree? "

Huang Fei frowned slightly, and said: "Your Majesty, what you mean is that there is probably something true about the late emperor's edict, Princess Kunxing, to supervise the country?"

"It's possible." Huang Degong was still not sure.

The main reason is that it is too bizarre for the princess to supervise the country.

If the first emperor had let the prince or the other two princes supervise the country, and there was an edict, Huang Chuangzi would definitely obey it immediately.

But the princess supervises the country, which always makes people feel that there is a problem with this matter.

As for the "Imperial Decree" written in the "Princess has the heart, has great supernatural powers, and can communicate with future generations", Huang Degong couldn't understand it, and didn't bother to think about it.

Anyway, the first emperor found a name for the princess to supervise the country - it can't be the literal meaning, because the princess is loved by the heavens and has great supernatural powers, so she was appointed by the first emperor to supervise the country, right?

Although Huang Chuangzi was uneducated, he joined the army as a young man and fought on the battlefield for more than [-] years, but he never believed in ghosts and gods.

If there are ghosts and gods, why don't you see Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and others who have tens of thousands of lives in their hands haunted by ghosts?

Years of natural disasters and continuous military disasters, why don't gods and Buddhas come down to save the common people?
When Huang Degong was thinking about this, Huang Fei said: "Actually, I don't think the most important thing is whether the late emperor really appointed Princess Kunxing as the supervisor.

Most importantly, if Princess Kunxing really defeated Zuo Liangyu and Li Zicheng, the army under her command must be extremely strong, and I am afraid that you and I will not be able to resist this trip to the east.

If you and I can't stop it, let alone Nanjing Jingying.

As for Liu Liangzuo, Liu Zeqing, and Gao Jie's subordinates, they were all fools, and the Nanjing court could not count on them. "

Snapped!
Huang Degong slapped his thigh, and said: "My brother Wenlu is right! However, the princess's army has already passed Wuchang to Tongling, so the defeat of Zuo Liangyu is probably true.

As for the matter of defeating Li Zicheng, it is doubtful.

Also, I think the most important thing is whether the princess is real, and whether she is someone else's puppet.

If the princess is fake, or someone else's puppet, even if the army is stronger than ours, we have to stop them, and we can't let them mess up Ming Zhengshuo! "

In the end, Huang Degong was very serious.

Huang Fei nodded, "That's natural."

Huang Degong thought for a while, and said: "In this way, since the princess's navy will be able to reach Digang tomorrow, let your navy retreat downstream today.

Tomorrow I will lead the army to be stationed on the shore, even if the princess is fake or held hostage.

We fought over a disagreement, and I am confident to stop them on the shore of Digang.

If you intercept their navy with naval forces downstream, we will not make a big mistake. "

"Okay," Huang Fei nodded first, and then said: "Then you and I will go to see the princess tomorrow?"

Huang Degong said: "Of course I want to see you. How do we know if the princess is real or not? How do we know if the princess is being held hostage?"

"Wouldn't it be good for you and I to lead the army and risk our lives?" Huang Fei asked hesitantly.

Huang Degong pondered for a while, and said: "Well, tomorrow I will take a pair of soldiers, so you don't want to go.

With my skills and a team of personal soldiers, if there is something really wrong with the princess, I might be able to catch the thief first and capture the king first.

In this way, maybe this time you and I don't need to waste any soldiers and horses, and we can accomplish great things. "

Huang Fei can trust Huang Degong's skill.

When Huang Degong joined the army when he was young, he showed extraordinary courage and extraordinary bravery.

When he went south from Denglai, Shandong, he asked Huang Degong to lead troops to meet him, but Huang Degong led hundreds of soldiers and was ambushed by Gao Jie's men halfway.

Huang Degong killed dozens of enemies by himself, and with his loud roar, he frightened the pursuers from approaching. He is a real fierce general.

Such a fierce general, if he gets close to the enemy's leader, there is indeed one person who can turn the world around.

After the two agreed, they acted separately.

Huang Fei took most of the navy boats to go downstream, while Huang Degong dispatched troops to make more defensive arrangements in Digang...

The next day.

Huang Degong stood on the gate tower of the camp at Digang Wharf, overlooking the river, with a shocked and dignified expression mixed with surprise.

I saw countless boats coming from the upper reaches, the sails of which were like clouds, almost covering the entire section of the river.

These boats can't see the end at a glance, and there are hundreds of them in front of them.

Among them, there are ten or twenty warships of more than four hundred materials, and hundreds of other warships of various types, and even the accompanying civilian ships are not small.

As far as Huang Degong knew, although Huang Fei, the admiral of Jiangfang, had nearly 100 sailors and soldiers, there were only more than [-] real warships in total, and the other ships were just converted civilian ships.

However, there are quite a few large ships with more than [-] materials in Huang Fei's navy.

Compared with the numerous warships and civilian ships, what attracted Huang Degong's attention most on the river were three jet-black monster ships of [-] materials.

I saw that the strange ship had sails but didn't use it, and there was a big chimney erected at the stern, emitting thick black smoke, straight into the sky, and it would make a strange roar of "woo--" from time to time.

What's more, under the sunlight, the hull of the ship is faintly reflective like iron armor!

"What kind of boat is this?!" Huang Degong pointed to the strange boat on the river, and asked a boss next to him.

Although Huang Fei led most of the navy boats to the downstream, he still left a dozen medium-sized warships and civilian ships in Digang for Huang Degong to use in case.

Mr. Qian is the commander of these dozens of ships.

Seeing that Mr. Qian was also dumbfounded, he said: "I don't know...it seems to be transformed from a [-]-seat warship."

Huang Degong asked again: "Do you think the boat is made of iron? Otherwise, why would it reflect light like armor?"

Mr. Qian wanted to cry, "The last general really doesn't know, it shouldn't be made of iron, wouldn't it sink if made of iron?"

"Well, it makes sense." Huang Degong nodded, but asked again: "What's the matter with the big chimney at the stern? Could it be some kind of weapon?"

Mr. Qian cried anxiously, "Master Hou, the last general really doesn't know."

"Why are you crying? What a waste!" Huang Degong kicked Boss Qian angrily.

He didn't use much strength, but he almost kicked Boss Qian down.

About half an hour later, boats and boats with banners such as "Daming Jianguo" and "Yangtze River Navy" were berthed in Digang.

There were not enough places to berth, so we sailed up and down the river and across the river, and for a while there was a tendency to occupy the entire section of the river.

This time without the following report, Huang Degong estimated that the number of naval ships under Princess Kunxing's command is definitely more than a thousand, and may even exceed two thousand!

When a strange smoking ship with the sun, moon and dragon flag appeared on the river at Digang Wharf, soon someone sent a message to ask Huang Degong and Huang Fei to meet on the imperial boat.

Seeing this, Huang Degong's heart sank slightly.

This royal boat does not dock, even if he hijacks the princess or the person who controls the princess on the boat, the follow-up will be very troublesome.

But there was no hesitation on his face, first he told the envoy that Huang Fei led the navy to go downstream due to military affairs, and then he brought a group of dozens of personal soldiers to follow the envoy to meet.

When they arrived at the dock, the messenger said that only Huang Degong could board the imperial boat alone, and the soldiers could only stay on the dock.

The soldiers are naturally unwilling.

Huang Degong agreed.

In his opinion, the "princess" first sent envoys to pass on the handbook, and then let him go to see him. The primary purpose was definitely not to kill him, but to let him submit, and by the way, he also took over his army.

Therefore, until the other party confirms that he cannot be subdued, he will not be in danger of his life.

What's more, he had already instructed several general soldiers under his command that if he had something to do, these people would resist Princess Kunxing's army in Digang.

Therefore, Huang Degong felt that he could go on this trip.

Besides, he was really curious about Princess Kunxing's authenticity and the situation she was in, so he had to go to the imperial boat to find out.

Taking an oar-rowed speedboat, Huang Degong quickly set foot on the imperial boat.

When he went up, he stomped on it deliberately, and he heard a sound like stomping gold and iron.

"Mother, it's actually made of steel?!"

He muttered to himself, Huang Degong felt a sense of awe already - he can put steel armor on the ship, no wonder the army can use such good armor.

From this point of view, "Princess" must not be short of money, not to mention other aspects.

On the deck, Huang Degong was looking around (exploring the terrain, reality), when he heard a crisp voice from above.

"General Huang, haven't seen you for many years, do you still recognize me?"

Huang Degong looked up, and saw a heroic but inexplicably majestic girl standing on the balcony on the second floor, leaning on the railing and looking down at him.

Yongweiying was in charge of the defense of the palace back then, and Princess Kunxing was favored by the late emperor. He had indeed seen it a few times.

Although eight or nine years had passed, he could already see the outline of Princess Kunxing when she was seven or eight years old from the girl's face.

Most importantly, the girl's face and eyebrows are slightly similar to those of Chongzhen and Queen Zhou.

After confirming that the girl is really Princess Kunxing, Huang Degong didn't hesitate any longer, and immediately bowed to pay homage.

"Huang Degong sees the supervisor!"

Auntie Zhu was a little surprised when she heard that, she didn't expect Huang Degong to change his words directly, thinking that he was going to come up with the trick that Yuan Jixian, Du Yinxi and others were convinced before.

Puzzled, Zhu Wei asked directly: "Previously Governor Long Wenguang of Sichuan, Governor Du Yinxi of Huguang, Governor He Tengjiao, and Yuan Jixian all called me Princess when they first met me, and they didn't want to recognize me as a supervisor.

Ben Gong also took out the last emperor's edict and spent a little effort before convincing them.

I heard that General Huang was a great hero who supported Hongguang's puppet emperor, and was conferred the title of Marquis of Jingnan by the puppet emperor. Why did he recognize Bengong as the prison state just after meeting? "

When Huang Degong heard these words, he couldn't help raising his head to look at Aimi Zhu again, and glanced at the female soldiers up and down the attic.

The reason why he called Aimee Zhu the Supervisor of the Kingdom as soon as he opened his mouth was mainly because he confirmed that Aimee Zhu was the real princess.

Secondly, it is because he is alone on the boat now, and judging from the arrangement of Zhu Yuxi's guards, it is not easy for him to capture her.

Most importantly, he has not yet determined whether the princess is someone else's puppet, nor has he met the person behind the scenes.

So it is natural to be false and submissive first.

It is true that he is a strong general, but he has led the army for many years, and he still understands the reason why a man can bend and stretch.

But after hearing what the princess said, and seeing the princess's demeanor and the expressions of the female soldiers around, Huang Degong suddenly felt that the princess might not be a puppet.

It's the sailors with thousands of boats and the master of this elite army!
