The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 13
Zhu Linming was grounded when she returned to the palace.Concubine Chen was crying so badly, Zhu Linmi saw how miserable she was crying, so she had no choice but to comfort her with good words.

The Ministry of Rituals acted very quickly, and within two days it was verified that the ships of Prince Chen's Mansion were indeed in violation of the regulations, and prohibited items such as refined iron and armor were found.

The next day, the decree came down.

The content is exactly the same as what Huang Daozhou said at the time. The prince of Chen Wang was demoted to the county king, titled Chen Zhou Wang, and the canonization ceremony was reduced.Recently, he set off to labor the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River.The 8000 taels of official silver used by Lao Jun has been shipped to Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

The luggage, carts, horses and supplies had been prepared a long time ago, and Zhu Linmi set off immediately after receiving the order, leaving Fujing.

Not long after Prince Chen's Mansion was established in Fujian, there were no more than a hundred guards in the palace, and Princess Chen insisted on personally picking more than 60 of them for Zhu Linming to take with him.

It should be said that Zhu Linming's father, Zhu Yurui, used to be better than Zhu Yujian.The latter was imprisoned by Chongzhen because he led soldiers to serve the king privately, but Zhu Yurui has always been the king of the county.At least half of the more than 60 people are guards who have been with Zhu Yurui before, and their loyalty goes without saying.

Qiao Qian and several servants were also in the team, and the maid Zhu Linmei only brought Chanyi, which was the result of the princess's repeated insistence.Traveling far away in this era is extremely difficult, and he originally didn't want to take girls on the road.

Zhu Linmi looked back at the gate of Prince Chen's Mansion, feeling extremely discouraged, and said silently: Daming, please pray for your own blessings, brother tried his best.

After Zhu Linmi's carriage and horses left Tianxing Mansion for more than 100 miles, it was almost dusk, and a group of people were seen standing or sitting in the distance, gathered on both sides of the road.

Shi Lin, the commander of the palace guards, immediately warned the police.The chariots and horses stopped, and all the guards took out their weapons and formed a defensive formation, protecting Zhu Linmi's car in the middle.

Zhu Linmi was startled, could it be that someone robbed her?
The group of people also saw Zhu Lin and them, and those who were sitting stood up one after another.

The leader came over, and he didn't see clearly until he got close. It was a middle-aged man in a Confucian costume.

He bowed to Zhu Linmi in the middle of the road and said, "But the king of Chenzhou is here?"

Zhu Linming got out of the car and pushed aside the guards, "It's me. Are you?"

"Huang Yu has met His Highness." The middle-aged man knelt down and saluted after speaking.

Zhu Linmei stepped forward to help him up, looked him up and down, but there was no information about this person in his memory, "Do we know each other?"

"Under the yellow deer, my father is a scholar of the Martial Arts Hall of the current dynasty, and he is taboo to go to the Tao next week."

"It's Mr. Huang Ge's son." Zhu Linmi cupped her hands.

"Are you here to see a joke?" Shi Lin said roughly from behind, "If it weren't for your father, our father would not have been sent out of the capital!"

Zhu Linming was not in a hurry to say anything, he vaguely felt that something was wrong.

"My father asked me to plead guilty to the son on his behalf." Huang Yu bowed to the bottom, and then said, "My father and a few colleagues collected some military pay, and I will hand it over to Your Highness."

"Military pay?"

Huang Wei said respectfully: "My father wanted to lead the people to the north to attack the captives, but after listening to the words of King Chenzhou that day, he closed the door and pondered for a long time, and finally realized that what His Highness said was the truth, and he knew that the act of righteous indignation would harm the country. The army, then regretted it unceasingly, and praised His Highness for being a great talent, which is a blessing to the community.

"Later in the court, my father heard that the Holy Majesty wanted to make His Royal Highness train the army, so he knew that the Zheng family would be hindered, and what happened later did not happen as expected. So my father used his plan to send His Highness out of Fujing on the occasion of impeachment. In the future, it will be the pillar of the country!"

Zhu Linmei frowned and said, "I'm all alone." He glanced at Shi Lin and the others behind him, "With around sixty people, I have no soldiers and no power, and I'm afraid I'll be drowned if I go into the sea."

Huang Wei smiled and shook his head, "The first battalion of sergeants that the Holy Majesty was going to train in Tianxing Mansion will soon receive a secret order to go to Longnan, Jiangxi."

"To Longnan?"

"The magistrate of Longnan County is my father's life and death close friend. The chief officials of the adjacent Quannan and Dingnan counties are all my father's disciples. In addition, Ganzhou is rich, and the supply of food and grass is cheap. It is the place of choice for His Highness to train troops."

"What do you mean..." Zhu Linmi looked at Huang Wei and said in disbelief, "You want me to go to Longnan?"

"Exactly."

"I'm going to Longnan to train soldiers?"

"I believe His Royal Highness will receive a secret order soon, asking you to choose a place to train a new army." Huang Wei said, "Someone will take you to do it."

Zhu Linming instantly understood that it turned out that Huang Daozhou had taken great pains to hide Zheng Zhilong from sending him and Yu Xin's troops out of Fujian, and even helped him choose Longnan, where he could completely get rid of Zheng's constraints and concentrate on military training.

He suddenly remembered that Huang Daozhou asked Hong Xu tens of thousands of taels of silver to serve in the army that day in the court, it seemed that he was asking for military pay for himself.

This old fox... Uh, offended, Zhu Linming sighed in her heart, although this old man is a bit pedantic, his brain is really fast enough.

"Oh, that's right." Huang Wei signaled to the group of people behind him, "These people are my father's disciples, disciples, and old friends. They are all passionate and want to follow my father in the Northern Expedition to kill captives and serve the country. Now I know that His Highness wants to train The new army will come to vote immediately."

Seeing Huang Wei's signal, the group of people stepped forward one after another, and the big ceremony will be seen.Zhu Lin hurriedly called everyone to get up.

Huang Wei began to introduce Zhu Linmei one by one.

"The brother of the Zhu family, who was a guerrilla in the Linjiang camp, has resigned from office because he was dissatisfied with Zheng Hongkui's dominance. This time, at the invitation of my father, I came here to help His Highness."

"Father's disciple, Chen Xiongfei, Hong Si..."

"My father's disciple, Xia Fuxian, Ying Tianxiang..."

There were more than 20 people in total, and Zhu Linmei greeted them one by one.Most of these people looked polite, and some even had swords on their waists and hips, but the one-foot-long sword pendant didn't look like it could cut people.

But these people are all treasures. Those who can read in this era are all educated people, not to mention these disciples of Huangge Lao.

After the introduction, Huang Wei took out another pistol and handed it to Zhu Linmi, "My father also asked me to hand over this pistol to His Highness for safety."

Zhu Linmei took the one-foot-long pistol with some surprise, and seeing the huge revolving wheel at the middle and rear of the gun body, he was sure it was a spring wheel pistol.It weighs about five catties, and the surface is carved with complicated and delicate patterns. It is a typical European style, and it should be traded with the West.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang Ge."

Huang Wei just smiled and nodded, then left.

After Zhu Linmei watched him go away, she asked people to load the three boxes of military pay he had left behind, including more than 200 taels of gold and nearly 2000 taels of silver.

Zhu Linmi had no choice but to ask Qiao Qian to ride with her in the same carriage, leaving the carriage empty to load money, and told Shi Lin to be more careful along the way.

Everyone went back on the road.

Zhu Lin suddenly felt that the haze that had been suppressed in her heart for many days was swept away.

Although this weak force is not enough to turn things around for the time being, at least he has regained the qualification to participate in the game. With these kindling seeds, he believes that a prairie fire will surely be ignited!
