My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 614 The News Comes
In Tianjin Port, Zhu Zhanhe stood on the bow of the ship, looking anxiously in the direction of Beijing.

Zhu Gaoxu has led his troops to leave for three days. Zhu Gaoxu made it very clear at the beginning that if there was no news from him in three days, Zhu Zhanhe and the others would immediately set sail back to Tianzhu.

But now three days have passed, and there is still no news about Zhu Gaoxu. According to the agreement, they must set sail and leave immediately. Otherwise, when Zhu Zhanji reacts, the navy will probably be sent to encircle and suppress them.

"Zhan He, the agreed time has come, and there is still no news from the prince. Why don't we leave first, otherwise we will easily get dumped by others if we stay in the port."

At this time, Zhang Zhong came to Zhu Zhanhe and persuaded him softly.

"Wait another two hours. If no one comes back, leave Hong Kong immediately!"

Zhu Zhanhe took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Well, actually even if there is no news, it does not mean that the prince has not succeeded. After all, there are a large number of troops stationed in the capital. If the prince wants to raid the capital, it will be difficult to capture the capital in a short time."

Zhang Zhong spoke to comfort him again.

"I know, in fact, my father was too impulsive this time. After all, with only a few thousand people, it will be difficult to even enter the capital, let alone capture the capital."

Zhu Zhanhe sighed and said.

Zhu Gaoxu's plan was too risky. Zhu Zhanhe had wanted to persuade him before, but with Zhu Gaoxu's temper, if he was not allowed to send troops, he would not be able to swallow this breath. After all, Zhu Zhanji's approach was really too bullying. If he really let him Zhu Gaoxu had to hold back this bad breath, maybe he would piss himself to death.

"That's not necessarily true. The prince's prestige in the army is extremely high. Many of the generals in the army have fought with the prince. Coupled with the reputation you have accumulated over the years, maybe the prince can easily enter the imperial city. , as long as you control Zhu Zhanji, everything else will be easy to handle."

Zhang Zhong pretended to be relaxed and said again.

"hope so!"

After Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Beijing again in a daze. Zhang Zhong didn't say anything else and just stood here in a daze with him.

Two hours were neither short nor long, and seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. Zhu Zhanhe also quietly became anxious. If there was no more news, they would have no choice but to set sail and leave the port.

However, at this moment, he suddenly saw a dozen cavalrymen rushing from a distance. When he heard the thunderous sound of horse hooves, Zhu Zhanhe was also shocked and his eyes suddenly brightened. stand up.

When these dozen riders arrived at the dock, they also saw Zhu Zhanhe on the bow of the ship, and immediately shouted loudly: "Prince Qi, the prince has successfully captured the imperial city!"

"what?"

Zhu Zhanhe couldn't help shouting in shock when he heard this, Zhu Gaoxu actually succeeded!

Zhang Zhong was also very surprised. Although he had said a lot of words to comfort Zhu Zhanhe just now, he actually didn't have much hope for Zhu Gaoxu. As a result, Zhu Gaoxu gave them such a big surprise.

The knight who reported the news dismounted from the boat, and then came to the deck to report to Zhu Zhanhe in detail how Zhu Gaoxu entered the imperial city.

When Zhu Zhanhe learned that it was Zhu Di who let Zhu Gaoxu enter the capital, he was also very surprised. Then he felt that it was reasonable. After all, Zhu Yong was embarrassed by Zhu Zhanji and kept guarding the city gate. In the end, it turned out to be an advantage to Zhu Gaoxu. "Your Majesty, the only pity is that after the prince rushed into the palace, Queen Mother Zhang delayed the time, causing the Ming Emperor to escape from the imperial city. Then he found the British Duke to mobilize the fifth army camp to confront the prince in the imperial city!"

The last person who reported the news said again.

"It's too bad that we couldn't catch Zhu Zhanji!"

Zhang Zhong also changed his expression when he heard this. If Zhu Zhanji was not captured, it would mean that Zhu Gaoxu's strategic goal this time had failed, and it would be difficult for him to stay in the capital.

"That's not necessarily the case. Didn't my aunt fall into the hands of my father? As long as my father doesn't impose excessive conditions, it's not difficult to return the money with all her money."

Zhu Zhanhe analyzed calmly, and then asked the cavalryman who reported the news a few questions, and the other party told them everything they knew.

This reporting cavalry was sent by Zhu Gaoxu to report the message to Zhu Zhanhe immediately after he occupied the imperial city. When they left, Zhu Zhanji had just come into contact with Zhu Gaoxu's army. As for what would happen next, they did not know. clear.

After Zhu Zhanhe asked the questions he wanted to ask, he summarized the information at hand.

The situation in the capital is not clear now. Although Zhu Zhanji escaped, Zhu Gaoxu controlled the imperial city. Zhu Zhanji's family members were all in the hands of Zhu Gaoxu, so it was not considered a failure.

However, Zhu Zhanji has also mobilized five military camps, and more troops will be mobilized in the future. By then, the entire imperial city will be surrounded like an iron barrel. If Zhu Gaoxu wants to escape, he can only use hostages to protect himself.

As the emperor, Zhu Zhanji could not ignore his mother and wife even to save face. Therefore, there was no need to worry about Zhu Gaoxu's safety for the time being. However, it was not that easy for Zhu Gaoxu to attend the funerals of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, because the We need to negotiate with Zhu Zhanji when we come down, but with Zhu Zhanji's temper, he probably won't agree.

"Oops, the prince has taken control of the imperial city and captured Zhu Zhanji's family. If I were him, I would definitely send people to Tianjin Port to control you Zhanhe. Only in this way can he have the leverage to exchange hostages with the prince!"

Zhang Zhong's expression suddenly changed at this moment, and he immediately shouted uneasily.

"It's possible, but it's also possible that my father will threaten him with the hostages in the palace so that he doesn't dare to act rashly!"

Zhu Zhanhe thought for a while before opening his mouth.

Zhu Zhanji is the emperor, and his family members are much more valuable than himself. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, where will the emperor Zhu Zhanji's face go?

"But we have to be on guard. Let's leave the port immediately. If anything happens, we can leave quickly!"

Zhang Zhong suggested again that although the port can avoid wind and waves, it can also be easily blocked inside. Then the warships will be unable to function and can only be slaughtered by others. You must know that Zhang Zhong only has 1000 people in his hands. If he really encounters the Ming Dynasty's water Master, I'm afraid I can only be captured without mercy.

"Okay, but it's already dark now. Why don't we leave Hong Kong tomorrow? With the chaos in the capital, even if Zhu Zhanji wants to mobilize the navy, he can't mobilize it in three or two days, and here in Tianjin I have eyes, if there is any movement, I will definitely receive the news!"

Zhu Zhanhe said again.

He has not been idle these days. For example, he has sent someone to contact Liu Ke from the Jinyi Guards. The other party has quietly come to Tianjin and mobilized all the power in his hands to closely monitor every move in Tianjin. After this incident After that, Liu Ke will definitely not be able to stay in Ming Dynasty, and he will go to Tianzhu with Zhu Zhanhe.
