Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 131 Chapter 131, Zhu Cihong turned his face in an instant, and the situation in the handsome account suddenly changed
The atmosphere in the handsome tent suddenly became solidified.

Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng's refusal made everyone's heart skip a beat, knowing that a conflict was imminent.

The Duke of England said coldly: "Why, are you disobedient? The Duke of this country is the general appointed by His Majesty. Are you going to disobey His Majesty's will?"

Facing the British Duke's questioning, Ma Shiying was a little flustered, but immediately returned to normal, and said: "The British Duke's words are wrong. His Majesty did appoint you as the general, but the army that His Majesty asked you to command is the army under your command. The [-] soldiers and horses are not our soldiers and horses! Whether it is my Fengyang army or General Zuo's army, they are all commissioned by His Majesty to command us, so what does it have to do with you?"

Anyway, it's already reached this point, Ma Shiying didn't want to continue talking nonsense, so he just explained everything clearly.

It means to tell the British Duke that we listen to your command because we save face, so don't push yourself too far.

The right to withdraw troops?This military power is absolutely impossible for you!

After listening to Ma Shiying's words, the Duke of England sneered: "Now that Ming Dynasty is in danger, you only know the one-acre three-point land in your hands. It's no wonder that Your Majesty always feels anxious when thinking about the current situation of Ming Dynasty. You and other ministers are simply unworthy of it." For the minister of Ming Dynasty!"

Zuo Menggeng also sneered, and said: "The British lord's words are wrong. My father was stationed in Hubei, which made Zhang Xianzhong in a dilemma; Governor Ma insisted on Fengyang, so that Li Zicheng could not go south to harass Jiangnan; you don't want to say our credit. Why are you still here blaming us? If you don’t think you need to join forces with us to attack Jinan, then just break up!"

Zuo Menggeng's voice fell, and the faces of all the people present changed drastically.

The meaning of Zuo Menggeng's words is already very obvious, if you continue to talk nonsense about the right to withdraw troops, we will leave and see what you can do!
The British public was furious and shouted: "How dare you!"

Zuo Menggen didn't show any weakness and looked at the British Duke angrily.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shi Kefa quickly stood up to smooth things over: "Why are you two so excited? Everyone is here for Daming, so if you have something to say, if it gets out, His Majesty will not be happy."

It is still useful to mention the name of the emperor Chongzhen, at least from the expression, both sides have eased up a lot.

Ma Shiying watched this scene from the side, feeling a little uneasy.

Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng are different. Zuo is just a Liaodong army leader. After years of suppressing the Li Zicheng uprising, he slowly got involved and took control of the military. It can be said that he is barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes. , so of course he dared to confront the British justice.

But Ma Shiying came from a serious official background. She passed the imperial examination together with the famous scholar Ruan Dacheng and passed the imperial examination, and worked her way up from the civil service class step by step.

Even if he has some small things in his heart, on the bright side, he can't break the rules of Daming like this, and he shouldn't be so direct with the British Duke, who is now the leader of the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

A quarrel is a quarrel, and it is not the same thing as breaking up.

The family surnamed Zuo just wanted to hang around with the military power, and Ma Shiying still wanted to join the cabinet in the future.

Ma Shiying's eyes accidentally fell on Zhu Cihong's body, and suddenly his heart moved.

That's right, isn't there still this His Royal Highness?

Ma Shiying hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness, please say something. Please rest assured that I and General Zuo are absolutely loyal to Daming."

The meaning of Ma Shiying's words was very simple, he wanted Zhu Cihong to come out to smooth things over.

Duke Ying and Zuo Menggeng didn't listen to Shi Kefa's words, but Zhu Cihong, the crown prince's words, they had to save face, right?
After Ma Shiying finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Zhu Cihong.

So far, Zhu Cihong is quite non-existent. His Royal Highness seems to be invisible, quietly watching the Duke of England arguing with Zuo and Ma.

After listening to Ma Shiying's words, Zhu Cihong also laughed.

"Since Governor Ma wants me to speak, then... I can just say a few words."

Zhu Cixi stood up, walked in front of Ma and Zuo, and spoke slowly.

"I have seen the current situation clearly. As for you, Governor Ma, and General Zuo, the main reason is that you have the military power in your hands, and then you don't want to let it go, right?"

As soon as Zhu Cihong spoke, Ma Shiying froze.

No, I asked you to smooth things over, why did you come up and talk about us?
Ma Shiying hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness has misunderstood. It is true that we also have His Majesty's orders on us. Before we get new orders, we really cannot hand over military power at will."

Zhu Cihong chuckled, and said, "Don't Governor Ma know? My father had already said before the King of England set off that this time all the troops of the Ming Dynasty would be under the command of the Lord of England. Could it be that Governor Ma wanted to resist the order and did not obey it?" ?”

This sentence immediately cornered Ma Shiying, making him quite embarrassed.

But soon, Ma Shiying made a decision.

In this troubled world, military power is still the most reliable!

Ma Shiying gritted his teeth, and said: "Although the old minister respects His Highness very much, he can't just hand over the military power that His Majesty let the old minister take charge of according to His Highness's one-sided opinion. Please forgive me!"

Zuo Menggeng also said: "If His Majesty really has an order, the ministers will definitely hand over the military power, but in this situation, please forgive the rudeness of the ministers and others."

Zhu Cihong looked at Ma Shiying, then at Zuo Menggeng, and finally at the dozens of generals and officers behind them, and couldn't help but sigh.

"This, why bother?"

The next moment, Zhu Cihong's face suddenly changed, and he shouted in a cold voice: "Come here, let me take down Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng, these two rebellious officials and thieves who don't obey orders!"

As soon as Zhu Cihong finished speaking, many soldiers from the prince's personal guard rushed into the big tent, directly controlling Ma Shiying, Zuo Menggeng and all the generals under his command.

It's not that no one thought of rebelling, but it was obviously not enough to look at in front of the large number of prince's personal guards.

Ma Shiying's face changed drastically, he really didn't expect Zhu Cihong to turn his face so suddenly, he couldn't help shouting: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"

Zhu Cilang smiled and said to Ma Shiying: "What are you doing? It's all come to this point, why does Governor Ma still ask such nonsense? Of course what I'm doing is to seize your military power!"

From Zhu Cihong's point of view, he hates this kind of guy who clings to military power and wants to be a local warlord.

The military power is in the hands of you warlords, how can I control this Ming Dynasty when I become the emperor?

Therefore, Zhu Cihong had discussed with the British government in advance. If Ma Shiying and Zuo Menggeng were unwilling to surrender their military power, they would be taken down on the spot!
Some people are about to ask, can't we use softer means?
The answer is of course you can, but you don't have to.

Why is it unnecessary?Because Zhu Cihong has a system, he is an out-and-out hanger.

Now that you've already cheated, what other tricks do I have to play with you?I will directly criticize you in the face. If you are not convinced, I will also have the system to help!
It's so simple and rude to hang up, and it's justified.

Zuo Menggeng was also extremely surprised, and yelled at Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, if you do this, His Majesty will not be happy if you let His Majesty know!"

Zhu Cixiang laughed loudly, walked up to Zuo Mengeng, raised his hand and gave him a big slap in the face.

Snapped!
Five fiery finger prints suddenly appeared on Zuo Menggeng's right cheek.

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "Just you guys who want to be warlords, do you still have the face to talk to me about my father? I will tell you directly, your old father Zuo Liangyu, my father has long wanted to put him Killed!"

Zuo Liangyu, an out-and-out trash, Li Zicheng couldn't beat him, Zhang Xianzhong couldn't beat him either.
Zuo Menggeng was buzzed by Zhu Cihong's slap, and when he heard Zhu Cihong's murderous words, he froze immediately.

After several seconds, Zuo Menggeng yelled hysterically: "You are forcing my Zuo family to rebel. Does your Daming not want Jiangnan anymore?"

Zhu Cihong laughed loudly, and slapped Zuo Menggeng on the left cheek again, choking all the rest of his words.

A traitor who can only surrender to the Qing Dynasty dares to force Lailai in front of Ben Gong!
"Zuo Liangyu doesn't dare to rebel, because his most precious son is still in the hands of this palace. But then again, even if he really rebelled, so what? Could it be that this palace can't eliminate his mob? "

The words of Zhu Cihong and Zuo Menggeng were heard in the ears of other people in the big tent, and everyone was shocked.

Everyone could clearly tell that Zhu Cihong had murdered Zuo's father and son!
Zhu Cilang walked up to Ma Shiying with a smile, and unhurriedly took out a pistol from his waist.

Although Ma Shiying had never seen a Sand Eagle pistol, it did not prevent him from immediately guessing what kind of weapon it was, and his expression turned pale, and he yelled.

"Your Highness, don't kill this humble minister, I have been wronged, wronged!"

Zhu Cilang laughed mockingly.

"You are wronged, tell me, why did I wrong you? Is it wrong that you don't want to hand over the military power, or is it wrong that you want to learn from Zuo's father and son and become a warlord who supports soldiers and respects himself?"

With a click, Zhu Cihong pressed the safety button, and directly pressed the barrel of the gun against Ma Shiying's forehead.

"Governor Ma, you have two choices now. First, honestly hand over your military power, and then live. Second, continue to resist, and then I will shoot you down here, kill the chickens to make an example, and then go clean up Your mess of [-] troops!

By the way, I would like to remind you that you are not Zuo Menggeng, who has 10,000+ troops and is stationed in Hubei and Jiangxi! "
