Chapter 2056 It is said that there is money!

Well, Nanjing is finally saved!

The Ming Emperor's 100,000 heavenly troops have arrived!

Now the Dabie Mountain intruder is dead!

The officials, dignitaries, celebrities, and merchants watching the excitement in Nanjing, who were waiting somewhat impatiently, made a low noise and began to adjust their robes and clothes involuntarily. Then everyone stretched their necks, as if

Want to see what the Ming Dynasty's 100,000 heavenly soldiers who swept Mobei and defeated the Eastern captives looked like?

Before the heavenly soldiers arrived, the sound of intensive horse hooves came first.

It seems that many of the heavenly soldiers are cavalry! The horses' hooves are densely packed and connected together! The momentum is amazing, and even the earth is shaking slightly!

Zhu Xieyuan, who was waiting there solemnly, also changed his expression. Although he had been supervising the army in Sichuan for many years, Sichuan was not a place for cavalry. Neither warring party had established a strong cavalry regiment, so he had never seen thousands of horses together.

The Mercedes-Benz scene... He turned his head and looked around. The people waiting outside Puzikou Pier included more than a dozen princes who had lost their "feudal status" and came to Nanjing to become rich men, and senior officials who stayed in Nanjing.

He Xungui, all showed expectant and relaxed expressions.

It seems that once the emperor's army arrives, they can live a good life in peace!

Zhu Xieyuan, who really knew how to fight, sighed softly... He knew that this matter was not that simple!

How could Gao Yingxiang's intruder break into Dabie Mountain from Liupan Mountain? It's so far, and a large section of the mountain road along the way has to pass between the important towns of Xiangyang and Nanyang... What a joke! That's where the Ming Dynasty's life-saving food is located

, how could a group of thieves be allowed to pass through the middle?

Moreover, this group of thieves was making a lot of noise, singing songs, opening warehouses, stocking grain, and posting notices wherever they went.

But...this group of thieves didn't seem to have committed any murders or arson along the way. They almost didn't commit any crimes wherever they passed, as if they were just passing by.

In addition, although they opened the warehouse to release grain, they didn't seem to release much rice grain.

But here in Nanjing, the intruders who sneaked in didn't seem to do much except put up notices and sing songs... and didn't even let go of the fire.

The Jinyi guards in Nanjing City, the police officers of Yingtianfu Yamen, and the soldiers of the Nanjing Jingying Camp have been busy for so long, and surprisingly they have not caught a single intruder who sneaked in.

If there was nothing fishy about this matter, even Zhu Xieyuan wouldn’t believe it even to death!

Of course, even if Zhu Xieyuan knew there was something fishy, ​​he would not dare to talk nonsense to others...

Zhu Xieyuan took a deep breath, gently stroked his beard, and then squinted his eyes and looked into the distance.

The red dragon flag finally appeared on the horizon. The triangular red flag was embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon. Twelve of them appeared at the same time, and they were scrolling, and then there was a piece of jumping red helmets. At the end, thousands of cavalry were seen.

One person and two horses escorted these hundreds of four-wheeled carriages and appeared in front of the waiting people.

The cavalry, one man and two horses, all wore black armor. The armor was spliced ​​plate armor that could cover most of the body. The surface was burned with fire to fade it, so it appeared black. The three thousand cavalry were divided into three teams and marched separately.

In front of the motorcade, on the right and left. Looking from a distance, you can see a surging black, so dark that it seems to directly hit people's hearts.

The thousands of cavalry here are the strongest cavalry in the Ming Dynasty, right? Mongolia in the north, slaves in the northeast, and She'an in the southwest were all completely defeated by this powerful army!

In the front line of these thousands of cavalry, about a thousand cavalry suddenly accelerated and galloped until Zhu Xieyuan and others were thirty or forty steps away. Then they reined in the horses at the same time. Thousands of horses neighed for a long time, and their hooves hit the official road.

After stepping on a cloud of smoke and dust, when all the more than a thousand horses came to a halt, they saw two horses, one tall and one short, coming out. Among them, the tall horse was riding the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youjian, and the one riding on the horse was none other than the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youjian.

Riding on a little red horse is Zhu Cixiang, the eight-year-old nephew of the emperor.

Zhu Youjian and Zhu Cixiang also wore black plate armor, and in addition to the plate armor they also wore red hoods. The father and son stopped their horses five steps in front of Zhu Xieyuan, Xu Yunzhen, Pang Tianshou and others.

"I respectfully wish His Majesty the Emperor to be in peace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be blessed..."

The princes, nobles and senior officials of Nanjing paid homage to Zhu Youjian, Zhu Cihong and his son.

Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "Pingshen, Pingshen!"

Seeing everyone straighten up, Zhu Youjian asked again: "How is the situation? Are the intruders still making trouble?"

"Still making trouble! It's so violent!"

The person who answered the question was Xu Yunzhen, the Duke of the Nanjing garrison. He actually ignored the rules of the officialdom and spoke before the Minister of War of Nanjing, "Long live my lord, the intruders have already made trouble in Nanjing... Your Majesty."

Together with Zhu Bingbu and Eunuch Pang, they tried their best to catch the intruders who had sneaked into Nanjing City, but they failed."

Pang Tianshou also said: "Long live my lord, the intruders on the Dabie Mountains are also very powerful! Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong suppressed them several times, but failed to succeed... They were even ambushed twice!"

"Don't panic!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong did not have enough troops, so they were unable to encircle and suppress them, giving the thieves room to maneuver. I have brought an army of 100,000, and we will definitely be able to defeat them within three years.

Destroy the intruders!"

What? 100,000 troops suppressed for three years?

Is this a trespasser or a slave?

"Father," Zhu Cixiang, who was standing side by side with Zhu Youjian, suddenly spoke, "How much military expenditure will it take for our 100,000-strong army to occupy the army for three years? Now the imperial court is financially strapped and has no money. How can we fight a war without money?"

Where is the emperor's 100,000-strong army? Zhu Xieyuan stretched his neck, as if he wanted to find the 100,000-strong army brought by Zhu Youjian, but he looked around and couldn't see where the subsequent army was?

"If you have money, if you have money..." Prince Fu Prince Zhu Yousong suddenly said, "The prosperous land in the southeast has nothing but plenty of money! Of course, His Majesty's army cannot be short of food and pay."

As soon as he took the lead, several wealthy princes in Nanjing immediately agreed.

"Long live my Lord, please send troops quickly! Military expenses are not a problem!"

"Long live the Lord, please send troops. Southern Zhili is a blessed land with plenty of money..."

"Long live Lord, how much do you want? Is 5 million enough?"

"Long live Lord, please tell me the number!"

Zhu Youjian saw that the princes were all very generous and laughed loudly: "Well, with good ministers like you, I am not afraid of running out of military funds. With military funds, this intruder will definitely be wiped out...

..But I’m a little tired from the journey, so I won’t cross the river today, so I’ll go to Laoshan Palace to rest!”

Of course he couldn't cross the river, because Zhu Yousong and the others were all trustees, Xu Yunzhen was also a trustee, and Pang Tianshou was even more a trustee. They said it was useless to have money, because they didn't have much money.

In the southeast, the really rich people are the nobles of Nanjing, businessmen who are closely related to the Donglin Party, and maritime merchants like Zheng Zhilong.

Before these people let go, the money... would not reach Zhu Youjian's pocket.

Since the money has not been obtained, the bandit cannot be eliminated in a hurry.

Zhu Youjian had to keep the money from the Dabie Mountain bandits!

...

The so-called Laoshan Palace is actually a large manor located at the northwest foot of Laoshan. It is incomparable with the palace complex built by Zhu Cixiang in his previous life, but it is enough for Zhu Youjian, Queen Zhou, Zhu Cixiang and others, as well as those who followed Zhu Cixiang.

Three to four thousand cavalrymen from Jiannan took up residence.

Xu Ruolan had already taken people to Laoshan Palace and arranged everything so that Zhu Youjian could move in directly. When Zhu Youjian arrived at Laoshan Palace, Li Zicheng, who was in charge of suppressing bandits in Dabie Mountain, was already waiting there.

After the ceremony of the emperor and his ministers in a lobby, Zhu Youjian asked Li Zicheng: "Can you really catch all the bandits in Liupanshan?"

"Don't worry, long live my lord," Li Zicheng said, "the bandits on Liupan Mountain have either been recruited or have their heads removed, so almost none of them has slipped through the net!"

"So... what about Dabie Mountain?" Zhu Youjian said, "Luo Ru is reliable? He won't make a lie come true, right?"
