As Zhu Gaoxu said, he was completely unhappy.
But people's emotions are very wonderful. After a blind date with his skin, his impetuousness and palpitations have subsided like a tide.
Calmness returned to his body, and the pressure from many other things came back to his heart.
Yao Ji was still sitting next to the table tidying up her clothes.Of course, there is no bed or dressing table in this study.
At this moment, the wooden door of the study made a slight sound, and a figure appeared outside the door, but the man did not make a sound.Zhu Gaoxu asked on his own initiative: Who?What's the matter?
The eunuch Cao Fu said in his voice: Prince, General Chen is asking for a meeting.
Call here.Zhu Gaoxu said.
Cao Fu said: I obey the order.
General Chen should be Chen Dachui.It's strange that there have been several times when Zhu Gaoxu was staying with a woman, Chen Dachui happened to report something.
Yao Ji stood up and said: I'll avoid it.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded.He also stood up, pulled the latch away, and opened the door.
After a while, Chen Dahui, wearing armor, entered.He clasped his fists and said: According to the prince's military order, the guards are ready to go!Please give the order to the prince.
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a moment.
At this time, he was no longer as he had at first, full of strong lustful desires, and began to pay attention to the important things he cared about very much.The Navy of the Government...
The matter of Zhang Fu leading the navy to surrender is of course the most important thing recently!
Zhu Gaoxu knew very well: without the navy, the main force of the Han Wang Army would not be able to cross the Xiangjiang River for a while, and he was not prepared enough and could only detour from Yongzhou.
The so-called floating bridge on Dongzhou Island, Hengzhou Prefecture, is just a joke and cannot carry the goal of a large army crossing the river!As long as the official warships attacked the floating bridge, the soldiers on the thin floating bridge temporarily built could not stand it at all.
Moreover, even if the Han King's army could cross the Xiangjiang River from Hengzhou and follow the nearest route to the capital east along the river; the army's marching distance was at least more than 2,000 miles!
It cannot rain, rest and stop along the way, there cannot be any battles, and I dare not attack the city. It takes about a month to march to arrive at the capital.
But in fact, the situation is not that simple. It is impossible for the army to reach the capital in one or two months.
However, once Zhu Gaoxu got the main force of the navy, he had a bold idea: to transfer the elite forwards to go down the river by boat, and he could arrive at the capital in as soon as ten days!
Because naval warships can sail along the current day and night, soldiers on the boat do not have to worry about physical fatigue.For the army that can be used to tens of thousands, the river route is the fastest route of this era.
Ten days!Ten days of troops arrived at the capital.
The main force of the navy made Zhu Gaoxu truly feel that the capital and power center of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be close at hand, as if within reach!
This is also the reason why he has always been stubborn and has no choice but to persuade Zhang Fu to surrender and force Zhang Fu.
Zhu Gaoxu hesitated for a long time.He still thought again: Zhang Fujun has not arrived near Dongzhou Island yet. He used to be just because of concern and actually couldn't help much.
He finally said: Order the guards to set off early tomorrow morning.
Chen Dahui was stunned for a moment, then he looked a little dazed, clasped his fists and said: "The last one is the command!"
At this time, Yao Ji walked out from behind a bookshelves gently.When Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at her, he saw that her face was a little red and looked at him with a strange expression.
I heard that the prince’s recent military affairs are very important?Yao Ji's voice was restrained and depressed, barely maintaining a uniform rhythm.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded calmly.
Yao Ji walked over and sat down slowly on the bench just now, but her eyes never left Zhu Gaoxu.
Somehow, her eyes were already shining with crystal light from the light that penetrated into the window.
Her face turned redder, and the emotions hidden were two more intense than when it was just now.
On the contrary, Zhu Gaoxu was quite calm. When he heard Yao Ji mention it, he couldn't help but think of the serious matter; subconsciously, he looked habitually thinking.
Yao Ji looked at him with a hurried look, but he was a little distracted, and for a moment he seemed to have a little cold illusion.
Will it delay big things?Yao Ji asked carefully again, her body seemed to be trembling slightly, and the exaggerated parts in the still messy jacket also rose and fell gently in the clothes.
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at her, smiled and shook his head and said: No, don’t worry.
Yao Ji was silent for a moment, her expression was changing rapidly, and her voice was already a little dislosing. The prince trusted me, and he didn't have to sleep with me for a night immediately... She gritted her teeth and said again, "Even if the prince doesn't believe me, my heart is yours, and I won't blame you."It is normal for the superiors to do this...
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly remembered the late emperor; the late emperor Zhu Di never spent the night with any concubines or women, probably because he was afraid of being assassinated!
No wonder the ancient emperors and princes often claimed to be lonely and lonely. When they reached a certain position, they might be very likely to be lonely.
He sighed, reached out and gently held Yao Ji's jade white tenderness, and said: I will treat you well.
Yao Ji's eyes were resentful and suddenly showed a smile, and two lines of clear tears suddenly fell on her face. She seemed to suddenly think of something, and she burst into tears and laughed: Will I become a beauty?
Zhu Gaoxu said: So what?
At this time, he recalled his previous life, and he wanted to be kind to others, but he didn't care about it.
At this time, he felt very good and even a little self-inflated.
He couldn't help but say shamelessly: This king has captured the kingdom with his own force! If you can’t even protect the people you care about, how cool is it to be this Ming Dynasty?
……
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, at night.
There are no stars and no moonlight, and the sky is simply black.But as long as people adapt to this darkness, they can still feel the faint light in the night, and they can roughly distinguish nearby things.
Duan Yang's heart was also pitch black, and her heart was filled with darkness, which had been around for half her life.But there is still a glimmer of light!
A faint ray of light is a memory.
The Duan nobleman who was elegant and elegant, he spread his paper fan casually, with a calm and kind smile on his face, as if he was looking at her tenderly and lovingly somewhere far away.
Duan Yang wiped his tears and gritted his teeth and said: I'll be with you soon!
She leaned over the beam of a house, carrying a short ladder that was less than a human.She took a deep breath and calmed down, carefully tried the load-bearing place of the beam, and slowly climbed forward.
During the day, Duan Yang had already looked around the headquarters of the Han King's Central Army.The defense is very tight!
Not only were there guards inside and outside the mansion of the Central Army Headquarters, and patrols on all sides, but all nearby houses may have been expropriated.
Based on Duan Yang's years of experience, she believes that there are also hidden whistles in the nearby houses.
But Duan Yang still carefully discovered a place where she had the opportunity, which was where she was now!
Climb over this roof and there is an alley.
There are back walls on both sides of the alley, and there are guard posts at the entrances at both ends... but there are still omissions, just these houses close to the mansion!
As long as Duan Yang climbs down from the roof and is not discovered, he will have a chance to get into the alley.
There are two kinds of dangers in the alley: one is the patrol of the squad that passes by from time to time.Second, secret whistle.
But Duan Yang had already decided to die, so of course he dared to take risks!
The night is so long, it is impossible for the secret whistle to stare at it without blinking, and most of the time it may be distracted... Duan Yang has also stared at it, and even she can't concentrate all night, let alone those soldiers.
I don't know how long she took, but she moved little by little to the edge of the roof.She found a wooden beam, picked up a blue cloth rope, tied it to it and pulled it tightly.
Duan Yang observed for a while and climbed along the green rope into the alley.
In the slender alley, there are a few lanterns with vague lights hanging; in the humid and cold winter night, a layer of mist fills the place.The classical tiled houses hanging on the top of the mountain and the faint and misty light all look very strange.
Duan Yang's movements became faster. She was very nervous, but she was focused and her hands and feet were light and fast.She set up a short ladder on the opposite wall, climbed onto the ladder and reached the top of the wall.
She climbed up the high wall, squatted on the top of the wall, then pulled up the short ladder, and grabbed the rope and carefully placed the short ladder into the wall.
After a while, Duan Yang climbed into the wall.
At this moment, two whistling sounds came from the darkness, and a small fire lighted up first, followed by a torch lit up suddenly.Duan Yang was shocked and his whole body was stiff!
Suddenly, a woman screamed in the distance and shouted in horror: Assassin!assassin!There is an assassin...Help Ah!
Duan Yang reacted and hurriedly turned around and climbed up the ladder.But at this time, there were also shouts outside the wall, and the defenders on duty outside should have heard the woman's shouting.In an instant, she realized that she was finished!
Bang bang bang bang bang bang... A dense musket sounded, and the light around it suddenly shone.
Duan Yang felt a severe pain in her legs, and she screamed, and she fell to the ground uncontrollably.
She struggled to turn over and saw a row of torches lit up, a row of soldiers squatting on the ground, just putting muskets at her lower body, and the muskets were still smoking.
A young military man stepped forward a few steps and said: Do you still remember me?
Duan Yang leaned against the corner of the wall in despair, glanced at Housheng, nodded slightly, and said weakly: Your name is Chen Wu.
The young man coldly praised: Good memory!I was the chief of the small flag of the North Division of the King of Han Shouyufu. That day, I thought you were a little strange. But I happened to have something to do, so I ignored it.Unexpectedly, during the day today, I actually saw you wandering around again!Didn’t you say you were going to Guangxi to find someone?
Duan Yang did not explain at all and said: If you want to kill, kill!
The young man said a little proudly: I knew it just after you left tonight!What do you want to do?
But people's emotions are very wonderful. After a blind date with his skin, his impetuousness and palpitations have subsided like a tide.
Calmness returned to his body, and the pressure from many other things came back to his heart.
Yao Ji was still sitting next to the table tidying up her clothes.Of course, there is no bed or dressing table in this study.
