Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 224 Chapter 224, Zhang Xianzhong's envoy arrived, Zhu Cihong was caught by surprise

An envoy from Zhang Xianzhong's side, this is definitely very earth-shattering news.

So soon this news was delivered to Zhu Cihong's desk.

When Zhu Cihong heard the news just now, he also had a puzzled expression on his face.

"This Zhang Xianzhong, he came here to find me at this time, wouldn't he be planning some kind of conspiracy?"

Beside Zhu Cihong, Fang Gongqian couldn't help expressing some opinions.

"Your Highness, we don't need to talk nonsense with them, do we? He is just a traitor, and he is not qualified to talk to you, Your Highness."

After Zhu Cihong thought about it for a while, he still decided to meet Zhang Xianzhong's emissary.

The reason is actually very simple. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Now that Zhang Xianzhong has sent an envoy, he must reveal some information to Zhu Cixiang.

In this way, Zhu Cihong would be able to judge Zhang Xianzhong's thoughts and attitudes through the information of the emissary.

So soon Zhu Cihong saw the messenger.

"Tell me, what's the matter with your Daxi King. You'd better speak up quickly, because my patience is limited."

The envoy seemed to be a relatively experienced guy. Although he was a little suppressed by Zhu Cixiang's momentum, he quickly regained his composure and took out a secret letter.

"Our great king said that as long as His Royal Highness reads this letter, he will naturally understand what he means."

Zhu Cihong took the letter as a matter of course and began to read it carefully.

After watching for a while, Zhu Cihong smiled and looked up at the envoy in front of him.

"Is that all there is to it?"

The envoy nodded.

"Yes, so everything our king wants to say is in it, and the king asked me to tell His Highness the crown prince one thing, that is, he has always been a person who keeps his promises very much."

After Zhu Cihong heard these words, he also burst out laughing.

"You can also go back and tell him that Ben Gong is also a person who keeps his promise."

After listening to the envoy, he was naturally very satisfied and left.

Only at this time did Zhu Cihong unhurriedly summon a few confidants, and told them what Zhang Xianzhong said in the letter.

Regarding this matter, the views of several confidants are quite consistent.

"His Royal Highness, Zhang Xianzhong has always been a representative of dishonesty. Before he formed an alliance with Li Zicheng, he betrayed Li Zicheng to find a way out. Later he formed an alliance with Zuo Liangyu, and Zuo Liangyu was killed by him. Now He hit his idea on your highness again. Your highness, you must not be fooled."

Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing after hearing this sentence.

"You guys are thinking too much. How could I be fooled? To tell you the truth, I even have a bold idea."

After hearing this, several confidantes were obviously a little puzzled, not knowing what Zhu Cihong's bold idea was referring to.

Zhu Cihong coughed and revealed the answer very calmly.

"My idea is actually very simple, that is, we can also learn from Zhang Xianzhong. On the surface, we keep peace with him, but in reality, we quietly send troops to catch him by surprise."

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, all the people present showed surprised expressions on their faces.

Obviously they didn't think about taking the initiative to attack this kind of thing.

The reason is actually very simple. After defeating Zuo Liangyu, Zhang Xianzhong's power is now very powerful, and the force he used can easily exceed 10.

Under such circumstances, it is obvious that everyone will not think about taking the initiative to attack, because there are more troubles on the court side, and relatively speaking, Li Zicheng is the guy who needs to be solved first.

Faced with this kind of reaction from everyone, Zhu Cihong was obviously not satisfied.

"You guys, don't know Li Zicheng all day long. Now we are in the south of the Yangtze River, and our number one enemy is Zhang Xianzhong in front of us.

We should be proactive, share the worries of the father's name, and get rid of Zhang Xianzhong here and there.

In this way, without Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng will be completely alone. If Li Zicheng is killed at that time, the rebellion within the Ming Dynasty will temporarily stop, understand? "

Obviously, Zhu Cihong this is a very ambitious plan.

This is also Zhu Cihong's character.After all, he came to Jiangnan to solve the troubles in Jiangnan, and judging from the current situation, Zhang Xianzhong is actually a big trouble in Jiangnan.

Just after Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the system's voice suddenly rang.

"It is detected that the conditions have been met, and the check-in is triggered. The host is requested to arrive at any place ten miles outside Wuchang City within three months to trigger a new check-in task. In order to ensure that the host can complete the task, the system will provide 1 sticks that meet the requirements of this era. The modern muskets with combat power are given to the host."

Zhu Cihong really didn't expect the system to jump out to give the task at this time, and his face was a little surprised.

But soon Zhu Cihong's heart became stable. Now that the system has been determined, the next thing to do is to do it boldly.

And this time the system is very generous, it actually gave a full 1 muskets as soon as it was shot.

Although judging from the description of the system, these 1 muskets are estimated to be just at the level of the 17th century, but considering that Daming's muskets were already behind the world at this time, the level of muskets in the 17th century was relatively low for Daming. very advanced.

Several confidantes were still looking at each other, but Gao Dejie couldn't help but speak.

"His Royal Highness, our current problem is that the newly recruited recruits lack combat effectiveness. If we just attack Zhang Xianzhong like this, I am afraid there will be a problem of insufficient combat effectiveness."

To this, Zhu Cihong naturally replied with a smile.

"Don't we have a whole winter to train our new soldiers? For these soldiers, one winter is actually enough. By the way, I still have some new equipment here, and I will get it later Come out and give it to you, and you just distribute it to the soldiers."

With these new muskets and enough ammunition to support them, Zhu Cilang felt that this wave was already very safe.

Under Zhu Cihong's insistence, the policy of attacking Zhang Xianzhong next spring was completely determined.

This is mainly because Zhu Cihuang has won many victories, and everyone is now very convinced of his military judgment.

Seeing this, Zhu Cihong waved his hand and made the final decision.

"Then what are we waiting for? Spring is only a month away, so go get ready, the south of Ming Dynasty will be completely pacified soon!"
