Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 192 Going to Henan

Chen Yuanyuan bit her thin lips tightly, blinked her eyes, lowered her head, and nodded fiercely.

But Chen Yuanyuan was even more flustered and excited in her heart. As a person ignored by this society, she never had the consciousness of who she wanted to like, and it was even more impossible for her to admit who she liked.

And at this moment, when Zhu Youjian asked her to face her emotions directly, she seemed to have recovered herself again. It seemed that Zhu Youjian had given her the qualification to like someone, which made her a little happy.

Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help thinking to herself, it turns out that this is the feeling of liking someone, as if at this moment, Zhu Youjian's figure can not only bring her a little stability, but also a little joy.

Due to the restriction of etiquette, Chen Yuanyuan dare not look directly at Zhu Youjian, but as long as she takes a sneak peek, Chen Yuanyuan seems to be able to get great satisfaction, which makes her more happy than rewarding her with pearls and emerald jade.

Zhu Youjian's appearance is naturally not outstanding, but in Chen Yuanyuan's eyes, it has become a beauty that can't be seen enough.

Zhu Youjian didn't have so many complicated inner emotions, he was not as good as Chen Yuanyuan imagined, and like all men, his love for Chen Yuanyuan was more about being attracted by her beauty, of course he was also used to it Chen Yuanyuan's past companionship, but in the absence of competitors and the ability to occupy a woman's heart at any time, he did not realize that he would be emotionally involved with Chen Yuanyuan.

If so, he would not naturally ask Chen Yuanyuan if he likes him, this undoubtedly comes from the emperor's confidence and indifference.

However, seeing Chen Yuanyuan's shy and nervous face, Zhu Youjian also felt that she was more beautiful than before, especially her piercing eyes were more beautiful than ever, as if she could attract people's hearts The soul is rippling.

In addition, Zhu Youjian is currently ill, and if his body is weak, his heart fire must be strong, and his heart fire must be strong, but Zhu Youjian also knows that if he indulges himself because of this, he will inevitably lose his body. I had no choice but to take a long breath: "Forget it, when the world is safe and I want your body again, you go down first, standing here will only upset me!"

Chen Yuanyuan retreated uneasily, and couldn't help but think of what His Majesty Zhu Youjian said that she would take her body. This kind of words must have been difficult to hear in the past, making people shy and even irritated, but at this moment, Chen Yuanyuan was looking forward to it. Hope, suddenly, she felt that this was the best kind of promise, allowing her to personally experience the tenderness from His Majesty.

When the war is approaching, for Zhu Youjian, the person at the top of the empire, what he needs most is to be alone, so that he can keep his mind in the clearest state.

The palace wall outside the window and the verdant Zhongshan in the distance blocked Zhu Youjian's vision, which made him feel insecure, unable to know what was going on outside, whether Azig from Huguang launched an attack, whether Azig from Henan Has Duoduo already broken through Hulao Pass?

In this era when there is no radio, even if it is urgent at eight hundred miles, there is always a delay in knowing the latest battle report, which makes it difficult for Zhu Youjian, a trader, to know the situation on the front line anytime and anywhere. The reason for delegating power to let the provincial governors do it themselves is that he cannot coordinate the overall situation efficiently.

But Zhu Youjian didn't want to just shut himself up within the palace walls. He didn't want to wait until the Qing army arrived at the city of Nanjing before he knew clearly that he had indeed failed. He also wanted to see the legendary money rat tail What does it look like, how much stronger it is compared with the Han people, how brave it is, how cruel and brutal it is.

Feeling bloodshot and sleepy at the corners of his eyes, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but close his eyes again. As the saying goes, sickness comes like a mountain and goes away like a thread. In this age without antibiotics, even common colds can only be rested in bed, but Thinking of the war ahead, Zhu Youjian still made an order to set off for Henan tomorrow.

Huguang has Li Yan and Du Yinxi, and even if Huguang is lost, there is still Jiangxi.

But if Henan is not protected, the Duoduo Department of the Qing Army can go straight to Fengyang, the central capital, or the border of Shandong. Now, the one guarding Henan is Lu Daqi, the right servant of the former Ministry of War. This is why Zhu Youjian dared to let him be the governor and chief military officer of Henan even though he knew he was from the Donglin Party.

However, Henan did not have strong soldiers stationed there, only the township soldiers recruited by Lu Daqi in Henan and some of the government troops who belonged to Ming Dynasty. In addition, Henan was the place of the Fourth World War, and there was no economic foundation to support it, so Zhu Youjian also knew Sooner or later, Henan will be lost.Of course, even if you want to lose, you have to lose it slowly. It is best to allow Duoduo to suffer a certain loss when he enters Henan.

Civil and military officials and concubines in the harem do not want Zhu Youjian to go to Henan with illness at this time. In their view, this is unnecessary and dangerous. After all, no one knows when Henan will go to Henan. It fell into the hands of Zhu Youjian.

But now Zhu Youjian is not a person who lives at leisure. He doesn't like to look forward and backward. In his opinion, his sudden descent to Henan as an emperor can at least increase the morale of the officials and people in Henan, so that the war in Henan can continue smoothly. a little longer.

As for his safety, it was not something he considered, but Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, and He Xin, the commander-in-chief of the Second Guards Army.

It is impossible for the emperor to get the consent of the subordinates first if he wants to do something. According to normal rules, the guards below must ensure the safety of the emperor Zhu Youjian according to various complicated circumstances.

In the early morning of this day, when the sun was shining, Zhu Youjian put on a fur coat and got on the chariot under the gaze of a pair of tearful eyes. Looking at the slowly retreating city of Nanjing, Zhu Youjian didn't know if this was going to happen to him. The only trip to visit Henan in my life.

The First Infantry Battalion (Type A Battalion) of the Second Army of the Guards brought by Xia Yunyi and the [-] Tiqi cavalry of Li Ruolian, the commander of Jinyiwei, formed the Luanyu Guard. This is a relatively high-level guard. Of course, it is going to Henan On the front line, no one can guarantee whether there will be emergencies.

Because Xia Wanchun, the champion of the new division, also served as the commander-in-chief of Xia Yunyi's infantry battalion, Zhu Youjian called Xia Wanchun to the dragon chariot to walk with him.Although Xia Wanchun is only fifteen years old, he already has great loyalty to Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian. After all, he also knows that he can win three consecutive yuan and become another peak figure in the Ming Dynasty after Huang Guan and Shang Lu. This kind of honor is only available today. Your Majesty can give it.Zhu Youjian naturally gave Xia Wanchun a great kindness. Even though Xia Wanchun didn't have much contact with Zhu Youjian, Xia Wanchun respected him as soon as he came to Zhu Youjian's court.
