Zhu Jiancai did this because he was helpless and forced by the situation. At present, only Daming can save him. However, Zhu Jiancai was not sure whether Daming could pull him back from the edge of the cliff, but in this case, his attitude to Daming was at least better than that without any help.

After all, whether it is Zhu Jiancai's rebel army, Yuan Qi before, or Gao Jin's current Gao Jin army, they have always been holding the banner of the Ming Dynasty and have never denied this. The orthodox Ming Dynasty, the banner of the anti-Qing and restoring Ming Dynasty is the foundation of these rebel army, and they will never give up without being sure.

In fact, before, when Yuan Qi was dying, Gao Jindong Jin also asked Zhu Yicheng to surrender, but Gao Jin ultimately did not obey Yuan Qi's arrangements, mainly because Gao Jin wanted to fulfill Yuan Qi's wish and was unwilling to give up Yuan Qi's lifelong efforts and thus rely on others' roofs.

But no matter what, Gao Jin has not completely abandoned the Ming Dynasty until now. Nominally, Gao Jin is still the Marquis of Pingko in the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Qi, Gao Jin, Zhu Jiancai, who are the heroes who can control one side in this era?

Zhu Jiancai, who made up his mind, did not hesitate at all. He immediately wrote a memorial to Zhu Yicheng. At the beginning of the memorial, he called himself a humble minister. He first congratulated the Ming Dynasty on taking Guangdong and occupying half of the southeast. He flattered Zhu Yicheng. Then he changed his subject and said that because the Qing army is now attacking Henan, he failed to congratulate Zhu Yicheng in time due to the urgent war. He then expressed his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time promised Zhu Yicheng that he would lead his troops to defend Henan for the Ming Dynasty to welcome the royal army north. Even if the Qing army is strong, he would vow to fight to the death of the Qing army, even if the horses are wrapped in the body...

This memorial is written with sincerity and touching. Judging from the content of the memorial alone, no one can deny that Zhu Jiancai was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty and was even more a hero who fought to the death with the Qing army. In the memorial, although he did not ask the Ming army to go north to rescue, Zhu Jiancai wrote the war in Henan fiercely, and at the same time calmed the Ming Dynasty about the crisis of the situation in Runan. This alone is enough. Zhu Jiancai believed that Zhu Yicheng would definitely understand his meaning.

The memorial was issued immediately after writing, but the road from Henan to the controlled area of ​​the Ming Dynasty was not close, and it would also travel through the Qing army's territory such as Hubei and Jiangxi. Therefore, it was unlikely to send it to Zhu Yicheng's hands in a short time and get an echo, but this piece had been put on and would eventually be of great use in the future.

In addition, Zhu Jiancai did not give up his cooperation with Wang Zhiqing, and the two ministries still joined forces to fight against the Qing army. First, Wang Zhiqing sacrificed his life to rescue Zhu Jiancai, and second, once Runan really couldn't defend, the two ministries would immediately go south to Hubei. As long as they meet with Gao Jin's troops, they could open up the situation in Hubei again.

The relationship between Wang Zhiqing and Gao Jin is not simple. Although the two departments are independent, Gao Jin's subordinates belong to Wang Zhiqing's subordinates, and Gao Jin is also Wang Zhiqing's son-in-law. So no matter what, Zhu Jiancai will not give up Wang Zhiqing's path. If one more road, there will be one more opportunity. Zhu Jiancai has already planned it.

"This Zhu Jiancai! Isn't this foolish? I'm so lucky that Qiansui led his troops to save him, and how did he do it now?" Meng Jing couldn't help but curse because just a few days ago, Zhu Jiancai's army suddenly raised the banner of the Ming Dynasty, which surprised the White Lotus Sect. Although Zhu Jiancai later explained that Zhu's army has always been under the Ming Dynasty, and he, the King of Han, has also been given the edict of the Emperor Yongye, so it is natural to take the banner of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, this banner is nothing but a trivial matter and will never affect the cooperation between the two ministries. In order to show sincerity, Zhu Jiancai also specially sent someone to send another batch of supplies.

But Wang Zhiqing's subordinates were not stupid. In this case, Zhu Jiancai suddenly made the Ming Dynasty banner and what was the purpose of it, it was simply a lice on the monk's head. For this reason, Wang Zhiqing didn't say anything, but Meng Jing couldn't help it. In his opinion, if it weren't for them to rescue him, Zhu Jiancai would have been destroyed by Longkodo long ago. Now that he made such a move, it was obvious that Runan could not help but intend to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

"Zhu Jiancai has always been insidious and cunning, and is profit-oriented. When Prince Yuan was defeated, he couldn't escape the relationship. Now, under our noses, the banner of Ming Dynasty was directly under our noses. Prince, you must be careful!" Zhang Miao said worriedly. For a long time, because of Gao Jin, Zhang Miao's sense of Zhu Jiancai has never been better, especially when the White Lotus Doctrine Army left Sichuan and was blocked by Zhu Jiancai, which led to the failure to enter the Central Plains as soon as possible and lost the opportunity.

Later, Zhu Jiancai, under the approach of the Qing army, concealed the change in Henan by the White Lotus Sect, and opened up the road to the White Lotus Sect, and then launched a war with the Qing army after entering Henan, causing heavy losses.

Although Wang Zhiqing's two left and right players have different differences on weekdays and often faced tits to each other about some things, they look like they share the same hatred of the enemy today. However, Wang Zhiqing is not as indignant as they imagined. On the contrary, Wang Zhiqing now seems extremely calm and has a very calm expression.

"Junior sister, how do you think about this?" Wang Zhi smiled lightly, and instead spoke to Lady Lin sitting beside him.

Madam Lin hesitated for a while, looked up at Meng Jing and Zhang Miao, but did not speak for a while.

"It's all my brothers. If you have anything to say when you close the door, just say it." Wang Zhiqing said calmly.

Lady Lin thought for a while and said, "Senior Brother Meng and Senior Brother Zhang are right. Zhu Jiancai is indeed not a good thing. If it weren't for him that day, how could our army run into the main force of Qingdog just after leaving Sichuan, resulting in such losses..."

"Junior Sister Lin said it well. Zhu Jiancai is a villain who kills thousands of swords!" Meng Jing looked indignant.

Wang Zhiqing raised his hand and signaled Meng Jing not to be anxious for the time being. He asked Miss Lin to finish his words, and then continued to look at Miss Lin.

Lady Lin continued, "As for who Zhu Jian is, we will put it aside for the time being. The situation is almost abnormal now. If it weren't for the heavy snowstorm some time ago, Qing Gou would not temporarily withdraw his troops. But from the current point of view, Qing Gou's increase in troops and attempts to take Runan. Once Qing Gou attacks Runan again, it will probably be difficult to defend the Runan city..."

Hearing this, Meng Jing was about to say something, but Wang Zhiqing's gaze was blocked and he could only suppress his temper and continue listening.

"Our army went out of Nanyang to rescue Zhu Jiancai, one for the purpose of anti-Qing cause, and the other for Nanyang to die. Rescuing Zhu Jiancai is equivalent to saving himself. Since we arrived in Runan, Zhu Jiancai has been sincere, and there is no shortage of supplies or other things. Although he is also for self-protection, he is also a smart person. Once our troops are gone, Zhu Jiancai will not be able to stop Longkodo."

After a pause, Lady Lin continued: "No matter whether Zhu Jiancai is a villain or not, according to my opinion, this real villain is stronger than a hypocrite. Besides, the current actions of the Zhu tribe are not hidden from our tribe. It is also a matter of saying that the reason for the Ming Dynasty is to be used. No matter what Zhu Jiancai thinks in his heart, from this point of view, I believe that Zhu Jiancai has no idea about our tribe."

"The junior sister is right, continue to say it." Wang Zhiqing nodded slowly. He also thought of this. Madam Lin's opinion was the same as him.

Madam Lin said again: "Speaking of all, the main reason for Zhu Jiancai to do this is nothing more than finding a way out. If I were him, it would be very likely to make such a choice. You must know that the Ming army is powerful, and now the only one in Nanjing can directly compete with Qingdog. It is natural to show goodwill in this situation. In addition, what is important for us at the moment is not to consider these issues, but to think about where to go if Runan cannot defend it. Three senior brothers, this is the most important thing!"

After Madam Lin said the words, everyone was silent. Madam Lin said everything was right. Zhu Jiancai was already considering a retreat, and they had to make plans early. What is next? Should we continue to retreat to Nanyang? Or go south from Hubei? How to choose must be decided as soon as possible.

"Prince, you need to make a decision as soon as possible!" Zhang Miao couldn't help but speak first.

"What do Junior Brother Zhang thinks?" Wang Zhiqing asked back.

Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment and said, "In my opinion, although retreating to Nanyang can be protected for a while, it will not last long. Now that the Sichuan has fallen into the hands of the Qing dog, retreating to Nanyang is probably a death place. Now, only by going south to Hubei and joining Gao Jin's troops can you have the opportunity to regroup. In addition, according to my opinion, Zhu Jiancai is also 100% based on this plan. If Runan is not protected, other troops will only go south. If our two armies join, they will have a greater grasp of going south. I don't know the prince..."

Wang Zhiqing did not answer Zhang Miao's words immediately, and although Meng Jing and Lin Madam did not speak, they agreed with Zhang Miao from their expressions. It can be seen in person that if you retreat to Nanyang, you are waiting for death. If Henan is not protected, you can only go south to Hubei to find a way to meet with Gao Jin.

The White Lotus Sect is different from Zhu Jiancai. Although Zhu Jiancai's Laojun Sect is considered a branch of the White Lotus Sect, Wang Zhiqing is the leader of the White Lotus Sect. Whether it was Yuan Qi and Zhu Jiancai, they were under the banner of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty when they were in the rise of the army, the White Lotus Sect was under the name of establishing a vacuum of the hometown of Wusheng Laomu. From this point of view, there is a fundamental difference.

In addition, Zhu Jiancai was granted by the Ming Dynasty and respected Zhu Yi as the co-lord, so Zhu Jiancai had to change his flag and change his flag, but the White Lotus Sect could never do this. Judging from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the White Lotus Sect fought for more than 200 years, and several of the uprisings were destroyed by the Ming army. The leaders and ancestors of the White Lotus Sect died in the hands of the Ming court. This is also the reason why Wang Zhiqing could not respect him.

It is precisely for this reason that once you go south, you will inevitably come into contact with the Ming Dynasty. At that time, no matter where you go south, you will face a reality, that is, how to get along. No matter who you are, you will never bow to the other party. This is one of the reasons why Wang Zhiqing insisted on going south and refused to go south, but wanted to go north to Henan and enter the Central Plains first.
