Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Although Liu Liangzuo is one of the four Jiangbei towns in Nanming, he is the weakest among them, not even comparable to Liu Zeqing.

This point can be seen from the fact that under Liu Zeqing's command, there are still a group of generals and generals who have left their names in the history books, even if they have a bad reputation, but there are almost none under Liu Liangzuo's command.

In fact, there are only more than 3000 elite soldiers under Liu Liangzuo's command as personal soldiers, which is similar to the general soldiers under Huang Degong's command, and then there are more than [-] soldiers who dare to fight.

Even with the addition of Liu Liangchen's thousands of Han Banner troops, there are less than [-] elite soldiers attacking Hefei.

What's more, the brothers were reluctant to let the elite soldiers be wasted in the siege battle.

He also thought that the remaining army towns in Nanming must be defeated by the other two armies led by Duoduo and Zhunta. Build more and better siege equipment, and prepare for a fatal blow when Hefei's defenders are weak.

It has to be said that, in the absence of accidents, the Liu brothers' siege strategy is very correct.

Although Hefei has more than [-] defenders, its military material reserves are not sufficient. Coupled with the besieged city, morale will inevitably decline day by day. If this continues, it is indeed possible that the Liu family brothers will break through.

In this way, the Liu brothers sent cannon fodder to attack the city from time to time, and surrounded Hefei for several days.

As a result, not only did they not wait for the news of the Qing army's victory, but they waited for more than 2 elite soldiers led by Huang Degong and the news of the Qing army's defeat.

At this time, the total strength of the Liu family brothers still surpassed that of the Ming army, but their morale had been weakened by the enemy, so how could they be the opponents of the more than [-] elite soldiers led by Huang Degong?
So he was defeated under the city of Hefei.

Fortunately, Liu Liangzuo was decisive enough to abandon [-] to [-] soldiers who dared to fight and the remaining [-] to [-] "recruiters" to survive, and then led the elite and Liu Liangchen's Han Banner Army to escape.

Huang Degong came from the north, so the two fled westward, wanting to escape into Henan to seek help from the Qing army in Henan, and even asked the Azig army in Hubei to support them.

As a result, he fled to Qiligang near Lu'an, and encountered the seventh town of the border guards led by Li Guoying.

Although the Liu family brothers had elite soldiers in their hands, they were exhausted after fleeing all the way, and they were not as numerous as the Seventh Town of the Border Guard Army, so they were defeated again.

It's just that this time it was an encounter battle, and Li Guoying's army strength was only a few thousand more than that of the Liu brothers, so he didn't gain much, and he didn't retain his main force.

The biggest effect was that the Liu family brothers misjudged the situation, thinking that the Huguang Qing Army had also lost, otherwise why would the Huguang Ming Army come to Luzhou Mansion in their spare time?

The two dared not flee directly to the west for fear of encountering other Ming troops, so they turned to the northwest.

However, during their escape all the way before, neither of the brothers' teams brought much supplies. After the army rations were exhausted, they could only search the countryside and small towns while walking, and plundered the people.

And this further slowed down the march.

In the end, they were intercepted by Huang Degong, Li Guoying and other generals in Dingtadian, southwest of Fengyang Prefecture, and were annihilated in World War I!
These days, only Auntie Zhu has telegrams. Even if the telegraph operator and the radio station are captured by the enemy, the enemy may not know its function unless the telegraph operator volunteers.

Therefore, the credibility of the news transmitted by the telegram is close to 100%, and Huang Degong should not falsely report such a great victory.

So Auntie Zhu read the telegram and immediately asked someone to report the great victory to the whole city.

Soon, Nanjing City was surrounded by cheers...

On May 24th, Auntie Zhu also put aside all work and participated in the rehearsal for the enthronement ceremony.

It's not a dress rehearsal, but let the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the relevant eunuchs introduce the various processes in detail, so as to avoid mistakes tomorrow.

At the same time, you can also make some requests for unsatisfactory details.

The main venue for the enthronement ceremony was within the Imperial City, outside the Forbidden City, that is, the large area of ​​Sheji Altar and Taimiao in the south.

Because of the first step of the grand ceremony, the emperor led officials to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and the Taimiao. The special buildings needed for the Temple of Heaven, the Temple of Earth, and the Taimiao are all in this area.

Arriving in front of the Taimiao, Auntie Zhu was about to go in, when suddenly two people's cries came from dozens of steps away.

It should be noted that even within the imperial city, Zhu Wei was accompanied by a large number of guards from the Imperial Forest Army when she traveled.

At this moment, the Royal Forest Army directly employed people to pull out the isolation line dozens of steps away, prohibiting all irrelevant personnel from approaching the Taimiao.

However, the sound was unstoppable.

"Reporting to Jianguo, there are two imperial envoys howling near the Taimiao." The Huben Ying Qian, who was in charge of the side, came to report on his knees, his forehead sweating profusely.

"Emissary?"

Influenced by Hao Guangming's daily indoctrination of various thoughts, Zhu Yuxi felt that it was not a good thing when she heard that the imperial envoy was here to make trouble, so she frowned and asked, "Why are they crying?"

Boss Qian lowered his head and said, "The last general dare not say anything."

Aimee Zhu got angry, and shouted: "I asked you to say it, but you dare not say it?!"

Mr. Qian hurriedly said: "The two imperial envoys said that the crown prince is in Nanjing, and the supervisor of the country does not want to return the power to the crown prince, but wants to succeed the throne as the empress. It is true..."

What is it, Mr. Qian didn't dare to say any more after all, obviously what he said later was ugly.

Aimee Zhu's expression changed when she heard this, the first thing she thought of was her elder brother Zhu Cihong, but then she realized something was wrong.

At this time, Hao Guangming also said through the Bluetooth headset: "The two envoys should be talking about the fake prince Wang Zhiming in the previous 'Prince Case'.

According to our later historical records, due to various reasons in history, Zhu Yousong kept this person under house arrest and did not deal with it, so that when the city of Nanjing was broken, he was surrounded by some ignorant people and became the emperor for half an hour. "

When Hao Guangming was speaking, Huang Daozhou and Lu Jiude, who were not far from Aunt Zhu, also spoke out after hearing the words.

Lu Jiude first said: "Your Highness, what the imperial envoy said must be the false prince when the false emperor was in power!

He had already been identified by many ministers who had seen the East Palace, and he was definitely not the prince, but Wang Zhiming, the nephew of the old consort Wang Bing! "

Huang Daozhou said: "Jianguo, tomorrow is the enthronement ceremony. The two of them are crying about the fake prince near the Taimiao on this occasion. They are not trying to gain fame, or they have ulterior motives. They should be arrested and punished!"

Although Aimee Zhu had decided to be the first empress of Ming Dynasty, she never thought of stepping on the corpses of her brothers.

What's more, there is no definite news about Zhu Cihong and the three of them until now. When Zhu Yu heard the words "the prince is in Nanjing City", it was inevitable that she had hope in case of emergency.

What if the two people are not talking about the fake prince, but the real prince has also come to Nanjing?

Thinking of this, Aimee Zhu immediately said: "Bring them to see me!"

"As ordered!"

Mr. Qian of the Huben Camp responded, and rushed over, and quickly sent the two master attendants with disheveled clothes and crooked official hats, pushing and twisting.

After the two people saw Aimee Zhu, their expressions were obviously different, and they wanted to cry again.

Aimee Zhu didn't want to waste time, and asked directly: "You said the crown prince is in Nanjing, so do you know when he came and where is he now?"

The two stopped crying, adjusted their official hats slightly, and did not forget to salute Aimi Zhu first.

"My minister Lu Chuan/Wang Yan sees the prison country!"

Aimee Zhu said impatiently: "Don't be rude, answer my question quickly!"

The two looked at each other, and then Lu Chuan said: "The prince was originally met by Mu Hu, a servant of Gao Mengji, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and hid in Suzhou and Hangzhou. He was sent to Nanjing City in March this year. Even the common people know of its existence, so how can the prison state not know about it?"

Wang Yan followed up and said: "If Jian Guo is deceived by villains, please immediately punish this traitor who tried to disrupt the inheritance of the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, it is necessary to invite the prince back as soon as possible, to supervise the country, to help the prince ascend the throne and succeed the emperor, and to set things right, so that he can be worthy of the emperor's ancestors! "

As the two talked, they were still squeezing tears and snot, and their faces were full of determination, as if they were ready to die.

But the two of them didn't realize that when Lu Chuan explained that the prince was the prince in the "Prince Case", Auntie Zhu showed a look of disappointment.

When Wang Yan got to the end, Zhu Wei's eyes were already full of murderous intent.

Knowing that these two people are talking about a fake prince, she certainly understands that they are not good people, so she said coldly: "The prince you are talking about, I will send someone to find him..."

When the two heard this, they were overjoyed immediately, thinking that Aimee Zhu really believed their words.

But Auntie Zhu continued: "I won't kill him, but let him be responsible for cleaning the Meridian Gate, so that all the officials who enter and leave the Forbidden City can identify whether he is real or not.

As for you—come, arrest them and hand them over to Jin Yiwei for strict interrogation.

These two people actually tried to use a fake prince to cause civil strife in my Ming Dynasty. They were either thieves with ulterior motives, or traitors who had already been bought by the Qing captives!
After the results of the interrogation come out, it will be handed over to Yousi to deal with it, and the family of the Yi people will be confiscated, and no mercy will be given! "

Lu Chuan and Wang Yan didn't expect to suddenly fall from great joy to great sorrow. They were stunned for a while, and they were captured by the imperial forest army before they reacted and struggled violently.

Wang Yan frantically explained, "Jianguo, the minister risked his life to admonish the country for the sake of the Ming Dynasty..."

Lu Chuan cursed loudly, "You don't listen to Zhongliang's words, and you want to kill the prince, what kind of princess are you? You are clearly a witch!

The princes of the Manchu Dynasty actually wanted to let the demon girl succeed the empress, how could such a great Ming not perish?Must perish!Hahaha···"

The officers and soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army around them turned pale when they heard this, and the person who was arresting and escorting them gave several punches so hard that the two of them could no longer speak.

Lu Jiude, Linglong and other palace officials all looked at Aimee Zhu worriedly, but Aimi Zhu just had a cold face.

She continued to walk towards the Ancestral Temple, and said in a cold voice: "Order the Jin Yiwei and the imperial guards to quickly search for the whereabouts of the fake prince and arrest him!"

"Yes!"
