Life in Film and Television: Starting from the Jinshui Bridge

Chapter 330 Aunt Zhu Sneaks Away

But he didn't expect that a girl who adored him had already set out to find him.

Half a month later, Zhu Wei finally arrived in Dengzhou City with a dozen people in a carriage.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian also knew that the fact that his beloved daughter Aimee Zhu was out of the palace was due to fighting with the court officials, and he was also concerned about the matter of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong proclaiming emperor.

After seeing the note left by her beloved daughter, she knew that her beloved daughter was looking for Liu Meng and persuaded him to lead troops to help him put down the chaos. This made Zhu Youjian angry, but he couldn't help feeling a glimmer of hope inexplicably. .

Because, from the beginning to the end, Liu Meng had no way of establishing himself as king. Although he did not obey the court's orders, he had been restraining the power of the Tartars, so that he did not let the Tartars continue to wreak havoc on Ming Dynasty.

In fact, he also understood Liu Meng's approach. He would not listen to the court's orders if he had no supplies.

As for the uprising forces that are now raging everywhere, Zhu Youjian chose to acquiesce against his will, acquiescing to the eldest daughter to persuade Liu Meng.

Even if the eldest daughter would become Liu Meng's woman, Zhu Youjian would only pinch his nose to recognize this cheap son-in-law.

As long as Liu Meng is willing to send troops to help him destroy Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, everything will be fine.

And Zhu Youjian's acquiescence also saved Zhu Wei's life, and allowed the name Daming to continue in another way, surpassing any dynasty in history, and establishing eternal glory.

It's a pity that Liu Meng didn't get his help even with his acquiescence. Even if he acquiesced in this matter, it still can't change the result that Liu Meng will watch his dynasty collapse, and finally have his own daughter.

Today, the person in charge of receiving refugees on the coast of Dengzhou is the captain of the Zhenbian, Wu Guoyuan, who performed well in the last naval battle.

Now Wu Guoyuan is already the commander of the Dongjiang Second Fleet. He has ten new Dongjiang warships and twenty Dutch warships under his command.

He was able to command thirty warships and ranked in the third rank. He was already an important figure in the third group in the Dongjiang system.

The highest officer of the Dongjiang system is naturally the commander-in-chief Liu Meng, and the second group is naturally Shang Kexi, the commander of the navy, Kong Youde, the commander of the Army's First Army Corps, Geng Zhongming, the commander of the Second Army Corps, and Shen Lian, who is in charge of the intelligence agency.

Coming down is Wu Guoyuan, who is in charge of the Second Fleet, and Wei Malang, the commander of the enemy's Third Fleet who is being formed;

Of course, there is also a third sequence of officers in parallel, such as the commanders of each legion.

At this time, Wu Guoyuan was standing on the tower of the battleship Zhenbian, watching countless refugees board the cargo ship in an orderly manner.

From their tattered and thin clothes, obviously malnourished faces and poor-income figures, it can be seen that these people are just like themselves back then, living in poverty and starvation.

Seeing them, he was grateful to the commander-in-chief Liu Meng in his heart. It was Liu Meng who gave him a new life and was able to occupy a high position.

All of this also made Wu Guoyuan admire Liu Meng even more, and was willing to die for Liu Meng.

At this moment, a carriage in the distance, escorted by more than ten people, also slowly arrived at the temporary pier.

Seeing this pedestrian, Wu Guoyuan couldn't help but feel very puzzled, and couldn't help guessing the purpose of these people.

Not long after, some of those people came out and found the team leader who was in charge of maintaining order at the pier, and after saying a few words.

The team leader turned around and ran quickly towards the flagship, and boarded the township in a short while.

Wu Guoyuan didn't move his body, waiting for the team leader to trot in front of him, saluted and said:
"Reporting to the commander, a group of people came from below. It is said that they came to the palace. They asked to take a boat to Shicheng Island to meet the commander. There is an urgent matter to discuss! Please, the commander, decide how to deal with it?"

After listening to the report, Wu Guoyuan was more puzzled, but he knew that such a matter was not something he could decide.

After all, although Dongjiang was independent of the imperial court, it never had the intention of treason. Strictly speaking, it still belonged to the Ming sequence.

After thinking about it for a while, Wu Guoyuan still decided to send him back to Shicheng Island, and everything will be decided by Liu Meng.

Thinking of this, Wu Guoyuan said to the team leader:

"Okay! I see! You go and bring people to my flagship! I will send them back to Shicheng Island to meet the commander!"

The squad leader stood at attention and said 'yes', then turned around and trotted off the battleship to negotiate with the visitor.

Not long after, the group left the carriage and boarded the township under the escort of the squad leader.

Wu Guoyuan looked at the visitor, but his heart was moved, because among the visitors, the woman with the gauze hat on her head was obviously respected.

The rest were two women who were obviously maids, and two young men with beardless faces and adam's apples, who could be identified as eunuchs at a glance.

What's more, the ten powerful men with waist knives hanging from their waists are obviously the guards of this woman.

This time, Wu Guoyuan no longer doubted the identity of this pedestrian.

There are court ladies, eunuchs, and guards, who are not from the palace, who else is there!
Among the ten or so people, a young eunuch walked out and saluted Wu Guoyuan and said:

"Thank you, General, for allowing us to board the ship, and please arrange a room for my master to rest in! Thank you!"

Wu Guoyuan heard the young eunuch speak politely, so he simply agreed and said:

"Okay! Since you are a nobleman in the palace, the general will naturally make arrangements! Please follow my deputy and go to the cabin to rest for a while! We will set off back to Shicheng Island in a short time!"

After speaking, he called his deputy, and led several people down the deck to the cabin.

Hearing this, the young eunuch immediately bowed gratefully to thank her, returned to the woman, and escorted her to the cabin to rest.

Watching the few people leave, Wu Guoyuan suddenly had a ridiculous idea in his heart:

These people came to Dongjiang with a woman who was obviously a daughter. Could it be that the old emperor wanted to marry the commander-in-chief?

As soon as this idea came up, he was kicked out by Wu Guoyuan, and he didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

Half a day later, after all the refugees on the pier boarded the boat, the fleet started to set off.

Since those people entered the cabin, except for the young eunuch who was in charge of getting food, they never came out. From the beginning to the end, Wu Guoyuan did not see the appearance of the leading woman.

He also couldn't guess at all that this woman turned out to be Emperor Chongzhen's most beloved eldest daughter, and now she has changed her title to Princess Zhu Yuxi of Changping.

A few days later, the fleet returned to Shicheng Island, Wu Guoyuan did not dare to delay, and personally led Aimee Zhu and his party to Liu Meng's residence.

Along the way, Auntie Zhu opened her small mouth slightly in shock, and looked at everything on Shicheng Island in amazement through the veil covering her entire head and face.

Whether it's the huge pier, the clean and tidy houses, the solid and clean roads, or the people who seem to be full of energy and rushing to and fro, or the soldiers who are patrolling in neat queues, all of them show that this small stone city How rich and peaceful the island is.

When they came to the barracks, Auntie Zhu was even more shocked.
