Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 406 Emperor's mind

The winter nights are long and cold as sleeping ice.

There are also snowflakes rustling down in the dark gray sky like pulling cotton wool.

Rao Zhu Youjian was sitting next to the burning charcoal fire, and he couldn't help shrugging his shoulders, only to feel his back was blown unconscious by the biting wind.

But he also enjoys this feeling at this time.

He believed that Hong Chengchou's Qing army must be very hungry and cold at this time, with no food to satisfy their hunger, and not enough firewood to keep warm in the heavy snow. live in such bitter cold.

And the colder it was, the more Zhu Youjian felt that his choice was not wrong.

There will be no mistakes in completely wiping out the Qing army, and it is impossible to make mistakes.

At this time, Zhu Youjian also has some nostalgia for the southern country and the warm and spring-like Jiangnan.

But he couldn't help but start to reflect on why he ignored the possibility that the feudal lord might be used by the reactionary gentry group or that the vassal king would actively collude with the reactionary gentry group to stab him in the back.

Zhu Youjian found that he had neglected one of the most basic historical common senses, that is, no matter how the vassal kings of Ming Dynasty are raised like pigs by the court, their royal blood doomed them to be politically insecure.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian should not only consider the relaxation of class conflicts, but must always be on guard against the natural unstable factors in these vassal kings, especially after being used by some civil officials with ulterior motives, it may really cause great damage to the country and society. big impact.

In the original history of Nanming, it was difficult for the Ming Dynasty to form enough forces to resist the Qing army because of the infighting among the vassal kings.

For example, the Yongli regime and the Shaowu regime;
Moreover, in the era of the most intense struggle between civil servants and imperial power during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, there were also incidents of rebellion by vassal kings.

Nowadays, the struggle between myself and the civil official group is not intensified, so it is not unreasonable for the vassal king to rebel.

Zhu Youjian was seriously thinking about what he should do in the future, and how he should deal with it now. Sometimes he couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but look back at the soldiers on duty of the Guards standing quietly in the snow, thinking that if If I didn't show up, I don't know what these people will look like at the moment. Are they still following the Nanming court or have they become obedient citizens of the Qing Dynasty?
Suddenly a gust of wind mixed with fragrance blew, and Zhu Youjian couldn't help shivering.

"Your Majesty, would you like a drink?"

At this time Kou Baimen suddenly appeared in front of Zhu Youjian, holding a small jar of Shaoxing wine sealed with mud in his hand.

Without further ado, Zhu Youjian snatched the wine away, opened the wine seal with a faint smile, and drank it. Suddenly, he felt that his throat was as hot as a needle prick, and the heat from his whole body drove away the severe cold that was frozen on his body.

Seeing that His Majesty Zhu Youjian was getting very close to the medical officer named Kou Baimen recently, Han Peng didn't let Jin Yiwei stop him, but he didn't expect that the medical officer named Kou Baimen would let him see him for a while. Zhu Youjian started to drink.

But Han Peng couldn't stop Zhu Youjian from drinking freely at this time.

At this moment, Zhu Youjian really needs the pouring of spirits to have enough courage to gain a foothold in this cold world.

"Tell me, are those princes surnamed Zhu stupider than pigs!
Don't they really think that they can take advantage of the emptiness of our rear and rebel against my country? It's really a good idea!

Believe it or not, when I return in triumph, they haven't even captured Nanjing yet!
Although I didn't leave many elite soldiers in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, there are still tens of thousands of elite guards in Nanjing City. Dongchang and Jinyiwei are also carefully selected elites. Just rely on their royal servants and those military officers supported by gentry?

Don't think that if you conquer Liyang, Taizhou, you are really not far from being an emperor!Even if you become an emperor, it is impossible for more than three months! "

Zhu Youjian was so drunk that his eyes were blurred for a while, his head was dizzy, and he felt dizzy, but he still said nothing.

Kou Baimen just giggled from the sidelines. She never imagined that the king would be like this. He would talk a lot about what he had or didn't have by being drunk. A pride.

"Your Majesty, are you choosing a concubine recently? Do you really want three thousand beauties in the harem, who are surrounded by countless women like the emperors of all ages?"

Women's brain circuits are naturally different from men's. Zhu Youjian is talking about the reasons why he must be successful here, but Kou Baimen doesn't listen to a word. He is only curious about Zhu Youjian and his emotional world.

"What do you know, what are the three thousand beauties in the harem, what are the countless fans, these are just rewards from the common people, do you know what I want, what I want is not these, what I want is that the world can be like It is as peaceful as before or as it has been for hundreds of years, the country is rich and the people are safe, if I am a common people, if there is a peaceful world, no matter how many women the emperor has, it is not as real as the wives and children around me!"

When Zhu Youjian said this, he fell into Kou Baimen's arms inadvertently: "Honey, if you came to this world with me, what kind of concubine would I choose? Just ask the civil servants in the inner court to choose the exam!"

"Honey?"

Kou Baimen couldn't understand Zhu Youjian's murmurs, but he could also feel that the king rubbing against his belly in his arms was more like a child, cuter, and closer to a real person.

"Your Majesty, if the city of Nanjing is not lost, and you return from victory, would you be willing to take my minister back to the Forbidden City?"

Kou Baimen plucked up the courage to ask in a low voice.

"no!"

Zhu Youjian said something drunk, and fell asleep directly.

Kou Baimen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, but he didn't let go of his hand.

Looking at Zhu Youjian's frowning, she didn't know what was on the mind of this bright young man in front of her at this moment, and why she suddenly rejected her?
"He is so majestic and terrifying during the day, but at this moment he is sleeping soundly like a lazy cat."

Kou Baimen laughed to himself, and could not help but tease Zhu Youjian's earlobe with the tip of his hair. Zhu Youjian turned over and unintentionally grabbed Kou Baimen's chest with one hand: "Don't make trouble!"

Ah!
Kou Baimen couldn't help covering her mouth, secretly glad that her cry didn't alarm others, but at this moment, she just felt that her waist was tightly clasped by a hot pliers, and she couldn't move at all.

Zhu Youjian was finally carried back to the tent by Han Peng.

And Kou Baimen also returned to his residence with a blushing face.

Since then, she hasn't seen Zhu Youjian again for a long time.

And Zhu Youjian didn't have the opportunity and leisure to think of such a person for a long time.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youjian rushed to Lijiazhuang with the [-] troops of the Second Corps of the Second Guards Army.

Because, this will be his hunting ground!
　I'm really sleepy. I've been exhausted from high-intensity updates for the past few days. I'll go to bed first.
