The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 689 Returning to the Palace
Baiyintu Department?This is the main force of Jianlu Xianghuang Banner.Zhu Linmi was extremely surprised and said, "How could he escape two layers of siege without being found?"

It stands to reason that even if the Gan army and Zhejiang army intercepted from the periphery were weak and defeated by Baiyintu, they should immediately warn the nearby field army, and they would never let the enemy army escape all the way across the river.

Zhang Jiayu said: "Going back to the emperor, it seems that Baiyintu was not in the Duoduo army because the rebel army attacked and harassed the Jianlu grain road before, and Bai Yintu was sent to Dantu to transport grain.

"Afterwards, this team of captives encountered Li Shoulin's department of the Zhejiang Army. The Zhejiang army was defeated, so that more than [-] people from the captive company escaped. There were also thousands of captives from the Erde Department who were in Dantu to supervise the grain. Let's cross the river north together."

Zhu Linmei sighed and said, "Man is not as good as God. When our army attacks Yangzhou, the [-] captives will be no small trouble."

Zhang Jiayu immediately said: "Your Majesty, nearly 4000 troops of the Swift Battalion are in Dantu at this time, do you want them to cross the river to chase the enemy?"

"Well, it's best to kill the enemy outside the city. Order Luo Mingshou to find a place with deep water and take him to the swift battalion north. Also, tell Li Dingguo not to rush in, and return immediately if he can't get it quickly."

"Yes!"

Zhu Linming remembered something again, and asked: "By the way, that Dantu is where Duoduo stores food, can you capture the food and grass of the captives?"

"This..." Zhang Jiayu shook his head regretfully, "When Li Dingguo rushed to the riverside, he saw the Dantu flames soaring into the sky, and nearly 20 stone grains and rice were burned."

He hurriedly continued: "But the 20 shi is probably Dorgon's grain and grass at the bottom of the box. They are all burned in Dantu, and the captives will definitely be short of food in the future."

Zhu Linming had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't say it out after thinking about it. Given the brutality of the Jian captives, it was probably not the Qing army that was short of food, but the people in Jiangbei.

He only told Zhang Jiayu: "There are three things to focus on right now. One is to wipe out the captives in Nanzhi as soon as possible, so that the Longwei Army and Polu Camp can start repairing as soon as possible.

"The second is to select recruits from the two military academies to make up for the vacancies, as well as weapons and supplies to be produced as soon as possible.

"The third is to transfer Yang Zhanchuan's army and 2 people from Wanji's department to go south to cooperate with Qin Zuoming to suppress the rebellion. Wang Jincai's rebellious army must be wiped out before March."

The two discussed for a while, Zhu Linming raised her eyes and saw that the lamps had started to be lit outside the hall, she got up and said, "Yuanzi first go to order Li Dingguo to pursue the enemy. Other matters will be discussed in detail at the staff meeting tomorrow."

"Yes!"

Ma Wensheng came up to him and said, "Long Live Lord, the gate of the palace is probably closed now..."

"Open it again." Zhu Linmi waved her hand and ordered him, "You personally send Mr. Zhang out of the palace. Pass the decree that anyone who has official business can enter and leave the Forbidden City at any time!"

"This... hey, the servant obeys the order."

After the eunuch and Zhang Jiayu left, Zhu Linmi rubbed her sore shoulder and ordered to move to Changchun Palace.

At that time, he had just got married, so he had to go out in all his clothes, and the two days when he returned to Nanjing were offering sacrifices to heaven and busy with official duties, so he hadn't had time to get together with his Zhiqing.

Unexpectedly, outside the Changchun Palace, it was extremely calm, and there was no sign of welcoming him.

Does the queen go to bed early?Zhu Lin stepped into the gate of Changchun Palace in confusion, and Ma Wensheng suddenly shouted from behind, "The emperor is here!" Only then did two maids trot out to greet her.

Zhu Linming asked the two, "Where's the queen?"

"Go back to the emperor, Her Royal Highness is waiting..."

Another court lady gave her a quick wink, and said: "Ah, the queen just fell asleep."

"Sleeping?" Zhu Linmi glanced into the Changchun Palace, seeing that the lamp was still in hand, she couldn't help asking with a straight face, "Why, I'm not welcome?"

"No, no, what is the emperor saying..."
