Chapter 38 Hangzhou War 4
"Prince, do you want to take a concubine for Your Highness the Superintendent?" Zhou Zhongliang was afraid that he had heard it wrongly just now, so he couldn't help asking.
Seeing Yuan Qi nodding and repeating, Zhou Zhongliang couldn't help asking: "Prince, is it inappropriate to accept a concubine for His Highness the Superintendent at this time?"
"Isn't it? I'm really sure." Yuan Qi smiled and said, "Hangzhou City is about to be destroyed. After taking Hangzhou, my Ming Dynasty will have the capital to truly compete with the Qing court for the world. At this time, His Highness, the governor, can strengthen the foundation of the country and safeguard the hearts of the people in the world."
"This..." Zhou Zhongliang was stunned when he heard this. He had to know that he wanted to persuade him to come in before, so why did he have to take Zhu Yicheng's concubine in a blink of an eye? Could it be that Yuan Qi is the most loyal minister in the world? Of course, if Yuan Qi was out of public intention, then this arrangement was indeed correct. But is Yuan Qi such a person?
The rebel army fought the banner of the Ming Dynasty and worshipped Zhu Ming's world. Zhu Yicheng, the orthodox descendant of Zhu Ming, was the core spiritual core. But in fact, the control of the entire rebel army was in Yuan Qi's hands. Even if he was a little dissatisfied, he had to at least obey Yuan Qi's orders. If he took down Hangzhou City... no! He would definitely be able to take down Hangzhou City. Yuan Qi's prestige would be at its peak. By this time, Zhu Yicheng's value would be greatly weakened. Why not put on his own yellow robe?
"Didn't it be that... Yuan Qi was worried..." Zhou Zhongliang suddenly thought of a possibility, and only this possibility would make Yuan Qi do this.
"Since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, my descendants of Zhu Ming have withered. Now the third prince Zhu is still unknown. The orthodox is only on His Highness. Now the situation of anti-Qing is great, and all Han people in the world are full of encouragement. If Your Highness can leave behind his descendants, he can revive the hearts of the people in the world. Even if there is any accident at that time, we can continue to support Your Highness's descendants to complete the great cause of anti-Qing and restoring Ming."
Perhaps seeing what Zhou Zhongliang thought, Yuan Qi said so happily. Zhou Zhongliang hurriedly bowed to the ground and praised Yuan Qi's loyalty for the country.
He raised his sleeves and wiped the tears that were squeezed out. Zhou Zhongliang looked very grateful: "I think your highness is very happy to be kind to you. I already understand what the prince means. Please rest assured, I will definitely do this for you."
"Well, do it well. If you do it well, I will not treat you badly." Yuan Qi said with satisfaction, waved his hand and asked Zhou Zhongliang to retreat.
After leaving Shifang backwards, Zhou Zhongliang thought about how to take Zhu Yicheng's concubine on the way back. Soon he came up with a plan, which was to immediately start choosing a suitable woman. The most important thing was that this woman must be well-grown and be able to get pregnant with a dragon seed as soon as possible and give birth to a dragon child.
In addition to a concubine, of course, he also needs to find a few more concubines, which is called more insurance. When these women get pregnant or even give birth to a dragon son, then Yuan Qi's next step will be able to go steadily. In order to better complete this task, Zhou Zhongliang even made several other backup plans, that is, no matter what, Zhu Yicheng must let these women get pregnant and have to give birth to a dragon son. If it really doesn't work, let him do it.
Zhou Zhongliang, who was thinking about conspiracy and tricks, was listening to what Li Juaner said softly to him, nodding from time to time or pondering.
Zhu Yicheng, who was already a little desperate, ignited a trace of confidence in Li Juaner's words. Although he believed that Yuan Qi would be defeated, he no longer had the idea of giving up on himself before. With Li Juaner's help, Zhu Yicheng made plans secretly.
Zhu Yicheng's identity restrictions were limited, so he could not contact the other people of the rebel army directly, and he could not even go out alone. The guards outside were all Yuan Qi's people, but Li Juan'er was different. This inconspicuous little girl looked weak and often went in and out of the big tent. The guards were not very careful about her.
This gave Zhu Yicheng a loophole, and he started some arrangements with Li Juan'er's identity. Li Juan'er's life in joining the rebel army has not been short, and her identity can freely enter and exit the tent of the camp, and it is not eye-catching when it comes to contact with people.
On the one hand, Li Juaner paid attention to the changes outside for Zhu Yicheng, including the situation and changes in the war situation of the various rebels. On the other hand, Li Juaner quietly got close to several rebels who could communicate with and used the property Zhu Yicheng gave her to win over them. After a while, not only did Li Juaner's freedom be much greater than before, but even Zhu Yicheng was a little freer in the rebels.
However, in order to keep it a secret, Zhu Yicheng rarely goes out and continues to hide in the camp as before as his safe and stable puppet of the state. And now, Li Juaner is talking about the situation of the Hangzhou war with Zhu Yicheng. After hearing the outcome of the battle, Zhu Yicheng thought about it and shook his head.
A famous city like Hangzhou, except for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period of the late Qing Dynasty, Zhu Yicheng had never heard of the Qing Dynasty that was captured. Of course, due to the deviations caused by his history, Yuan Qi, a person who had never appeared in history, had such a big storm in this era. But don’t forget that during the Kangxi period, the Emperor Kangxi, who was known as the Emperor of the Eternal Emperor, would be easy to overthrow? No matter how powerful the rebel army is, it is a group of mobs, with no foundation. When the Qing Dynasty reacts, Yuan Qi’s dream of the country must have only one way to destroy it.
It seems that Hangzhou City is in danger at the moment, but Zhu Yicheng is not optimistic about whether Yuan Qi can really capture Hangzhou. However, any accident may occur. Before the last moment, Zhu Yicheng was not sure.
Let go of this question first, Zhu Yicheng asked the people whom Li Juaner had been trying to win over. Li Juaner rewarded them one by one. She has won over six people over the days, two of which were Zhu Yicheng's guards, and four of them were the old camp rebels who were inspecting the camp.
Most of these six people are fellow villagers in Yuyao, that is, Yuan Qi's first batch of expansion after he took Yuyao. Moreover, after Li Juaner's daily contact, these six people are not extremely vicious people, and at the same time they have a little bit of the same period towards Zhu Yicheng, and they only win over Zhu Yicheng after soliciting Zhu Yicheng's opinions.
It seems that the effect is good at the moment. Although three of the six people did not clearly express their support to Zhu Yicheng, they did not sue them. Speaking of which, it would be more dangerous for two political novices Zhu Yicheng and Li Juaner to do such things. If it weren't for the complex components of the rebel army, and the siege of the ants in the past few days, these rebel army felt sad that the rabbit died and the fox was sad. Perhaps Yuan Qi would have known about it long ago.
"Nu Bi also likes a few people, and wait until tomorrow, Nu Bi goes to explore the trouble for His Highness."
"No need." Zhu Yicheng thought about it and rejected it: "It's too dangerous to do this. If you don't have enough confidence, don't take risks anymore. You can comfort these six people first and fight for them. As for the others, you must be careful, do you know?"
