Daming Military Empire

Chapter 236 Prince Ou Lu returns with honor

The news of Ziwu Valley's great victory spread back to the capital, and the whole capital was boiling. Officials at all levels rushed to celebrate each other, and the people of the capital even put on lanterns and festoons, as if the rebels had been wiped out.In their view, the leaders of the rebels have all been arrested, and the main force of the peasant army has also been completely wiped out. Does this mean that the rebels have almost been wiped out soon? The rebels should not be able to jump for a few days.

Zhu Cijiong didn't think so. Gao Yingxiang was called the leader of the anti-thieves, but he was actually not a powerful character among the anti-thieves. Compared with Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and even Luo Rucai, who were experts in escape, he was more like a walk-on, with no sense of presence at all. At the time of the Chongzhen Dynasty, he also committed suicide and ran into the Ziwu Valley and was caught by Sun Chuanting. This time, it was like repeating history. Zhu Cijiong felt like he was reading a boring history book, without any sense of joy. What next? The point is to catch Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, two slippery loaches. As for Gao Yingxiang, if you catch him, just catch him.

However, now is not the time to attack Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, because their "mission" has not been completed, Luoyang and Xiangyang have not been conquered, and the two biggest moths in the clan have not been killed, so not only can they not be attacked immediately, but also To 'protect' them, prevent Sun Chuanting from going to spoil their good deeds.

Qin Jun was a pack of hungry wolves. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were definitely not their opponents. If they were allowed to pounce on them, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong would probably be beaten to the bum. The past few years will be for nothing!

How can Qin Jun stay in Shaanxi honestly?Zhu Cijiong racked his brains and finally came up with a far-fetched reason. He directly issued an order to Sun Chuanting. The road rebels were then escorted to the capital to deal with them together.In addition, this time the Qin army made outstanding achievements, and was specially promoted to the first-class army, awarded the sun and moon dragon flag, the sun and the moon shine together, and Sun Chuanting was also promoted to the first-rank admiral to show his commendation.

Sun Chuanting couldn't laugh or cry when he received this decree. What could happen to the more than [-] terrified peasants? It is enough to disarm them and send thousands of people to guard them. They can still fly into the sky.The original defenders in Xi'an had [-] soldiers, more than enough to guard these prisoners. The Qin army could completely free up their hands to defeat the other rebels one by one. In this way, the danger in the northwest was solved, but the emperor let him stay. Guard the captives!

Apart from Gao Yingxiang, Sun Chuanting really can't see anyone who deserves strict supervision, but the emperor's decree has been issued, so he can't say anything, he is loyal to the emperor, if the emperor asked him to stay and guard the prisoners, then stay and guard Captive chant.

Just as Zhu Cijiong was paying close attention to the news from the Northwest, secretly cursing Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, these two useless things, an urgent report suddenly came from Dongdaying that His Royal Highness Zhu Youjian, the regent, had returned!
Zhu Cijiong was full of surprises at the moment. He was delighted that his royal memorial critic finally came back, and he didn’t have to worry about memorials every day. What surprised him was that his fifth uncle Zhu Youjian was not as cold-blooded as he was, and he still cared about blood and family ties. Well, the matter in the Northwest might not be able to drag on any longer. If Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong couldn't succeed in the near future, he might not be able to do his best in the past few years of forbearance.

Anyway, after all, it was his own fifth uncle who came back, and Zhu Cijiong regarded him as his closest relative, so he made an exception and ran outside the Chaoyang Gate in the capital to greet him.

Zhu Youjian’s trip to Europe this time is quite a sight. He was grandly received by King Philip IV of Spain, and members of the royal families of the Habsburg dynasty flocked to experience him, the most powerful king in the East. The demeanor of His Royal Highness the prince of the empire, he experienced the dignity of being a prince for the first time, he experienced the luxurious life of the aristocratic circle for the first time, the first time he...

The life of the Ming royal family can be said to be completely different from that of Europe. Daming has always been the only overlord in the East, so the Ming royal family basically does not communicate with the royal families of other small countries. There is very little intersection. It can be said that the members of the royal family are lonely. Except for wives and children, there are not even a few who are qualified to be friends with them. How can the communication between the royal families of various countries in Europe be like visiting neighbors? Generally frequent, marriage is as frequent as drinking water and eating, life is called a lively one!

In Europe, Zhu Youjian has become the idol of the royal families of all countries. The ostentation is so big. There are two thousand court ladies and eunuchs alone, and there are as many as ten thousand personal guards. The guards on the outside are even more exaggerated. With 5 people, his bodyguard alone can overwhelm a medium-sized country in continental Europe.

And his car, the Prince Regent, is like a palace on the sea, and his wealth, expensive gifts are like straws in his eyes, and they are given away by carloads. The whole of Europe is richer than him The king can't find a few!
As a result, he became a must-invite for various noble gatherings. The banquets, receptions, and balls were full of rows, and queens, princesses, and ladies from all over the world even rushed to wink at him, wanting to kiss this noble man. The prince's Fangze, fortunately, he was deeply educated in traditional Confucianism and kept the bottom line, otherwise he might become relatives with the royal families of all European countries!

Of course, these are not the main ones. The main purpose of Zhu Youjian’s visit this time is to sell Ming’s arms. He borrowed an open space by the sea from the King of Spain according to Zhu Cijiong’s plan, and then directly ordered the Imperial Guards to build a vacant lot on the open space. The small city amazed the royal families and nobles of the European countries, thinking that he would build a city just to station guards, but it turned out to be nothing like that at all.

The Praetorian Guards didn't live in at all, instead the city was filled with dense human-shaped wooden frames. Just when everyone didn't know which one he was going to perform, he invited all the nobles from various countries he could invite, including King Philip IV of Spain. Shidu invited them to the viewing stand not far from the city, and each gave them a latest military telescope produced by Daming.

Then, [-] imperial guards rushed towards the city like a wave. In an instant, bullets and artillery shells flew together. A hundred super battleships at sea, including his giant battleship Prince Regent, fired at the same time, literally smashing down the city wall several meters thick!

The effect was even more shocking than the effects of Hollywood blockbusters. The King of Spain and the princes of the Holy Roman Empire immediately frantically placed dozens of orders, strongly demanding to order Ming's arms, flintlocks, field guns, and grenades. If you want, the King of Spain even wants to buy a super battleship, and he even wants to buy a giant treasure ship as a ride!

Zhu Youjian was just an advertising ambassador, not a salesman. It was useless to talk to him, so he brought back more than a dozen negotiating delegations, all of whom were here to purchase arms, and nobles from various countries gave them to His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and him. The presents also loaded several boats.

Most importantly, there is also a distinguished princess who is only 14 years old and seems to be here for a blind date!
