The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 155: Divine Weapon Code
"Then when is His Majesty planning to set off south?"

"Ten days later."

"In such a hurry?"

The red lady's face changed, and she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't expect to be separated from the little emperor just after reuniting.

"Hey! I am also reluctant to be separated from my concubine. I want to stay longer, but time is not waiting for me. If it is delayed, something will happen to Jiangnan."

Zhu Cihong also sighed softly, he has made all the arrangements he can, and is just waiting for the red lady to come back.

Originally, he planned to leave for Nanjing in three days, but after thinking about it, he postponed it by seven days.

After all, the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year. As soon as the red lady came back, he left. It was really too realistic to hurt others, and he was using him as a tool.

"Your Majesty is right."

Thinking that she had only been to Huguang for a few months, the literati and merchants in the south of the Yangtze River began to win over the generals of the army. Although the red lady was extremely reluctant, she still nodded her head in agreement.

"After the world is settled, I and my concubine won't have to be separated like this."

Zhu Cihong also said with a look of reluctance.

This time the red lady did not go back to her imperial concubine's mansion, but followed Zhu Cihong directly back to the palace.

Empress Zhou brought Liu Xinlan, Lan Duo'er and three children, and they were already waiting at the Qianqing Gate.

"My son pays homage to his mother."

The red lady knelt down on one knee and bowed to Queen Zhou.

"Ying'er has worked hard all the way, get up quickly."

Empress Zhou didn't care about her nondescript way of paying her respects, and helped her up affectionately.

For this daughter-in-law, she has a very complicated heart, she is not happy, but also grateful to her.

Because she knew that the red lady had indeed played an irreplaceable important role for Lang'er to secure the throne and keep the Ming Dynasty.

"Little sister, younger brother, I have seen the emperor's wife."

Immediately afterwards, Princess Kunxing and her two younger brothers bowed to the red lady.

The latter hurriedly returned the salute and said anxiously: "No, no, I should be the one to salute to the two Highnesses and the Princess."

"Okay, although Aifei is only an imperial concubine, it is right for Yitong, Queen, sister and two brothers to salute."

Seeing that the four of them gave in to each other, Zhu Cihong could only stand up and said with a smile.

The red lady was no longer humble, but felt a bit of warmth and the taste of going home in her heart.

"Aifei, this is Duo'er."

"Why is Duo'er still in a daze? Hurry up and say hello!"

After Zhu Cihong's introduction, seeing her staring straight at the red lady with light in her eyes, she was stunned on the spot, so she had to remind her.

Seeing her like this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Empress Zhou frowned slightly, she really only disliked this girl from the Tumote Department, no matter how she looked at it, she was not pleasing to the eye.

Not only wandering around the palace all day long, but also riding horses to hunt every now and then, nothing like a concubine should be.

If it wasn't for Hong'er not allowing her to be too strict, she would have wanted to teach her discipline a lesson and punish her a long time ago.

"Oh, Duo'er has seen the concubine's sister." Lando'er came back to her senses, and hurried forward to imitate the red lady, knelt down on one knee and saluted, her eyes full of admiration.

"Sister, don't be too polite!" The red lady helped her up, looked her up and down, then grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "Your sister is really lovely."

"Really? I was worried that the concubine would not like me." Landuoer said happily, and after she finished speaking, she peeked at Queen Zhou with a trace of fear in her eyes, obviously she was often taught a lesson secretly by Queen Zhou.

Her appearance really made Queen Zhou very angry, but she just gave her a hard look.

"My sister is so beautiful, especially when this armor is worn on my sister, it looks better than any generals." Landuoer said enviously.

"If my sister likes it, my sister will give you a set."

"Okay, okay!" Landuoer immediately cheered happily.

"Ahem..." Empress Zhou couldn't help coughing lightly, she would never let Lan Duoer learn from Hong Niang.

"My servant pays homage to the imperial concubine." Liu Xinlan also stepped forward to salute, breaking the embarrassing atmosphere.

"My sister is gone."

Hong Niangzi is only 25 years old this year, a little younger than Liu Xinlan, and she also knows that she is actually the first woman of the little emperor, so she didn't treat her as an outsider at all, and took her hand and said affectionately.

"No, no, etiquette cannot be broken. Your Majesty has ruined your servant, so your Majesty should call your servant Xin Lan."

Liu Xinlan hurriedly waved her hands in fear.

"Okay, they're all from my own family, so let's call them casually in private." Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

As a modern person, he doesn't care much about the strict rules of the royal court. In the future, if there are more concubines, he must abide by the daily etiquette.

But Liu Xinlan and Hong Niangzi are both his great heroes and veterans, so he doesn't want to restrict them too much, and wants them to live more easily.

As for Lan Duoer, looking at the 10,000+ cattle, sheep and horses in Tumed Department every year, and a large amount of leather, you can also indulge a little bit.

Immediately, everyone came to the side hall of Qianqing Palace, where a table of delicious food was already set up.

"Let's all go back."

"Mother, sit first..."

Zhu Cihong sent all the maids out, and began to greet Queen Zhou and the others to sit down.

Although the dishes are rich, it is just a big round table, which is similar to the usual family banquet at the home of a wealthy landlord.

Apparently Zhu Cihong prefers to sit and eat together as a family, rather than alone.

Now that he is the emperor, he naturally has to follow his own preferences, not the preferences of the ancients.

For this kind of family to sit and eat together, even if Zhu Cihong liked it, it would only be once a month, so everyone felt very warm.

Even Empress Zhou was no exception, she didn't criticize too much, and chose to turn a blind eye to the fight between Hong Niangzi and Lan Duo'er.

And in the next few days, Zhu Cihong and Hong Niangzi were almost inseparable, staying together day and night.

At the same time of being gentle, Zhu Cihong did not forget to explain many matters after she left. There are Liu Xinlan in business affairs, Queen Zhou in government affairs, and Hong Niangzi is mainly responsible for military affairs and dealing with some emergencies.

So after he left, even though the Empress of Zhou Dynasty was in charge in name, but in reality it was Hong Niang who was in charge.

As for why the harem cannot interfere in politics, let's talk about it later.

"My dear concubine, this is a military book compiled by me for daily infantry drills, new military ranks, battlefield command communications, marching and setting up camps, and other logistics-related matters. I named it Shenwu Bingdian. There are four volumes in total. You Let's see if there is anything that needs to be added..."

As Zhu Cihong said, he handed the four military books to her, with a smug look on his face.

It took him several months to compile this military book combining ancient and modern times. Compared with other military books that focus on strategy, his military book is mainly used to regulate the army.

"Oh, His Majesty even compiled a military book himself..."

As soon as Hong Niangzi's eyes lit up, she immediately became interested. She picked up the first volume called the Infantry Exercise Code, and began to read it carefully.

In fact, it is called a military book. In addition to the infantry drills and military laws, it is more appropriate to say that it is a military reform plan, which adds up to only 10,000+ words.

So in just over an hour, Hong Niangzi watched it carefully from beginning to end.

"How is Aifei?"

"Your Majesty, this military rank system is really refreshing, and it sounds very comfortable. It should be able to better motivate soldiers to fight for their hearts. Other aspects are also very reasonable and easy to understand. It's just that there are many training subjects in this infantry drill code. , the concubine doesn't quite understand the role of it."

Compared to other generals who almost praised Zhu Cihong to the sky after seeing it, Hong Niangzi spoke truthfully.

"Hehe, I knew Aifei would say that. Let's go, I will take you to watch the exercises of those disciples in the martial arts hall, and you will understand the importance of those items."

As Zhu Cihong spoke, he took her hand and walked towards the lecture hall.

Those items are naturally some modern queue training, of course they have been reduced, such as walking forward, it is completely unnecessary, and more is to let soldiers form good execution habits.
