emperor becomes prince

The dead are gone, and for Zhu Di, it was never possible for him to pay too much attention to irreparable things.

In front of him, there are still too many roads waiting for him to open up, and there are too many swords and swords waiting for him to break through.

Yinyin woke up, it was the real Yinyin, and he was no longer the child whose behavior seemed absurd.However, it has nothing to do with him.

Back then, another place revolted in the name of the Third Prince Zhu.Zhu Di followed Kangxi's order and went to suppress the rebellion. In fact, this was his own request.

With this young army, he needs someone to help him try his hand.

The Fifth Army Battalion was fully prepared. The faces of the young soldiers were full of excitement, and the Shenji Battalion polished their guns, as if they were facing their beloved children.

The Manchus focused on cavalry and shot light weapons. Even after Emperor Kangxi set up a firearms battalion, they could not change the deep-rooted concept of the Eight Banners. At the beginning, Zhu Di worked hard to correct their thinking.

In the array simulation battle, he gave these young fighters a military lesson with the results.

Soldiers who have been hit by the 'enemy' many times have gradually realized that the method is not the most important, but the result is important.And if the Divine Machine Battalion is used properly, it is also a very powerful force!

As a result, they no longer had the initial resistance to the Shenji camp set up by Zhu Di. On the contrary, many people voluntarily applied to join the Shenji camp.

They came from afar, and after many days of searching after arriving, they finally found traces of the rebels.

The soldiers were all sharpening their knives, waiting for Zhu Di's order, they would rush forward and smash the enemy camp ahead!

Unexpectedly, at this moment that should have been impassioned, Zhu Di just calmly ordered people to camp on the spot, light a fire and cook, and did not issue further orders to attack, which made the soldiers more or less puzzled.

If you don't understand it, you can't understand it. Generally speaking, most people are quite convinced of Zhu Di as the commander. Except for a few people, the others are at most secretly burying a few words in private.

In the middle of the night, Zhu Di's camp was still brightly lit, and a simple map was unfolded on the table, with some information and materials scattered beside the map.

Zhu Di supported his head with one hand, his brows were furrowed, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Suddenly, the curtain was opened, and an inconspicuous person walked briskly from outside, turning a blind eye to the tight defense.

When he saw Zhu Di, he didn't salute, but just cupped his hands and said straight to the point: "Dare to ask the prince, why don't you attack directly?"

Zhu Di put down the hand supporting his head and stood up from the seat.The person in front of him is a counselor who has recently defected to him. From his point of view, he has some abilities. Although he is not as good as Yao Guangxiao, it is still rare. He just met him for the first time, and he doesn't know the background, so he dare not trust him rashly.

"Sir, didn't you already know the answer?" Zhu Di said in a deep voice.

If you can't even guess these things, then this person has no value left by Zhu Di.

"Your Highness, are you talking about those peasants who suffered from famine?" The visitor carelessly brushed his beard and hair with his hands, and his squinted eyes were full of invisible expressions.

"It's nothing more than a group of insignificant thugs. Your Highness, once your army comes out, it will be like a broken bamboo. At that time, those who lead the rebellion will be punished as they should be. What else can those who are attached to him do?" His tone It is full of temptations, "Why don't I let the old man help you attack!"

Zhu Di had a half-smile, "Although he came here to quell the rebellion under the orders of the emperor, the extermination also depends on the target. If it is true that those people can't survive, they revolt, but they just don't care about it and kill them all. Isn't it necessary?" Bear the name of injustice?"

"The prince means..."

"The common people in the county rebelled because of the natural disaster this year and the harvest was not good. Although the relief money was allocated in the capital, it was exploited by corrupt officials and could not reach the common people. Defeating a group of generals What is there to be proud of farmers who have replaced their hoes with axes? Why don’t you just give them a favor.”

The old man nodded silently when he heard the words, silently expressing his approval.

Perhaps, this would be a worthy master.he thinks.

Leaving the army outside the county, Zhu Di strutted into the county seat by himself.

When the county magistrate heard the words, he stood on the side of the road to greet him early, with a flattering smile on his face.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's visit to our county really makes the small county flourish. Please, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will accompany you to the official's residence and take a rest."

Zhu Di glanced at him lightly, his majestic gaze made the county magistrate feel a gust of cold wind blowing over his head, but he couldn't continue with the following words.He shivered and closed his mouth.

"Since that's the case, why don't you hurry up and leave?" A subordinate who was following Zhu Di shouted, "Tell your Highness everything you know on the way."

"Yes Yes……"

This county is not a particularly wealthy county, and even in good harvest years, it barely reaches the middle and lower levels among many counties.

However, in such a small county, more than a dozen fierce rebels emerged overnight, and affected hundreds of farmers in neighboring counties, and then the scope of the uprising spread to neighboring counties... The scale is constantly increasing. Originally, it was just a group of lawbreakers. Now, it has more than 2000 people, and there is a tendency to continue to increase.

They revolted under the banner of Yongwang Zhu Cihuan, and the riots caused by them have already posed a threat to the central government.

And the culprit who caused everything—these moths didn’t know it yet—made Zhu Di feel ridiculous.

Looking at the luxurious carriage parked in front of him, which was incompatible with the bleak surroundings, Zhu Di coldly opened the hands of the person who wanted to help him into the carriage, and said coldly: "No need, just walk alone!"

The crown prince is walking, who else dares to ride a horse or a car?The county magistrate and the officers and soldiers behind him all had bitter faces, trembling under this great man.

There were corpses floating on the road, but no one paid any attention to them; the common people with dirty faces, standing, sitting or lying on the street, all with empty stomachs, looked at Zhu Di in battle robe passing by with a kind of hatred.

Looking at the situation on the street, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy. The county magistrate behind him couldn't see his expression clearly because of the angle of view, so he was particularly disturbed.

Suddenly, a child who was only about ten years old rushed over from the other side of the road and slammed into Zhu Di.Because he was not prepared, Zhu Di was knocked away.

Seeing this, the county magistrate almost raised his heart from his throat, opened his throat and shouted: "Bold and unreasonable, do you know who is the person in front of you? Why don't you kneel down and apologize to His Highness the Crown Prince?! !!"

Hearing this, the child gave Zhu Di a hard look, and said defiantly: "My mother said that officials are not good people! You know how to bully us ordinary people!"

The county magistrate's face was flushed with suffocation, and he was about to continue to scold, but Zhu Di stared back fiercely with a murderous look.He suddenly trembled all over, and his mouth trembled so that he couldn't say anything.

Zhu Di leaned down slightly, his face was unprecedentedly friendly, "Tell me, why are all the officials not good people?"

He looked at the child with eyes full of encouragement, and he possessed a magical power, which made the child stunned for a moment.

The child came back to his senses, glanced at his mouth in a concealed manner, and said: "Obviously, most of the harvest has been lost this year, but the tax is still increasing. You need to collect 'festival money' during the festival, and you need to collect 'official money' when you go to the yamen to file a complaint. You need to charge 'regular money' for work... If you can't get the money, they will rob all the things in that family's house! If there is something to rob, there is nothing to rob food, and there is not even a little bit left. I My aunt, my father, and the second girl from the next door, Pang Hu, starved to death like this!"

In an instant, the scene of the Yuan army's greed and tyranny flooded into his mind again, and it merged with the situation in front of him strangely. Zhu Di's eyes froze with the storm, but his face became more and more calm.He turned around coldly and approached the county magistrate step by step, "Is that so?"

"I ask you, is that so?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, there is absolutely no such thing, it's the ignorant people who are talking nonsense! You must not take it seriously!" At that moment, the county magistrate was extremely panicked, and various thoughts flashed through his mind.When he remembered that the silver ticket that he secretly ordered someone to "filially" was accepted by the prince, he was relieved and felt confident, so he lied without blushing.

Zhu Di looked at the county magistrate in front of him who was shaking like a sieve but still irrational, and his murderous intent flashed past.
