Chen Bangyan is indeed very flexible in his work and very steady.

After most days, the palace was cleared out and Zhu Youlang lived in. He also borrowed a cook from the Chen Mansion. The original eunuch in the imperial kitchen was not afraid to use it. The four soldiers brought by Bai Xing were temporarily supervising workers.

The dishes were served by the soldiers of Zhaoqing personally carried the food box. There were ten dishes, including meat and vegetables, and a large table full of them.

"Come on, Ling Bin, Alan, Xiaobai, sit down and eat together." Zhu Youlang sat down and greeted.

"No, the emperor, the courtesy cannot be abolished." Chen Bangyan advised.

Zhu Youlang was stunned and suddenly remembered that he was a noble emperor, not an intern doctor who was a guest, but a minister, not a classmate and friend.

The so-called etiquette should not be abandoned. Isn’t it just to keep a distance? The days of eating and bragging with Wang Chen, and eating bare-handedly skewers and drinking beer will never come again.

Damn, why is it so difficult to change roles? Are the rules established now?

He doesn't sleep or eat, and pretends to be gentle and elegant, and he is a bit of a show of pretending to be gentle and elegant, but he is really frustrated without speaking.

I ate by myself, and everyone else watched me. In the public eye, how could I feel so embarrassed?

Zhu Youlang ate the rice in a small stutter, took one or two bites of each dish, and finished the very uncomfortable meal.

Alan personally served him to rinse his mouth, wipe his hands, and wipe his mouth.

"Give this fish-head tofu soup to Chen Aiqing, and this plate of chicken to Xiaobai and Alan. Keep one or two of what dishes you like, and give the rest to your tribe members." Zhu Youlang finished wiping his hands and ordered casually.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Bangyan bowed and thanked.

Alan and Bai Xing agreed in a daze, but none of them thanked him.

"I don't politely!" Zhu Youlang gave the two a blank look.

...

After dinner, Zhu Youlang invited Chen Bangyan to the yard to digest food, and Bai Xing led his men to protect him through more than ten steps.

"Ling Bin, is there a letter from Zhaoqing?"

"Return to the emperor, Ding, Qu, Lu, and Li, the four great scholars, wrote letters to the ministers to pay their respects to the emperor, and everything was peaceful in Zhaoqing."

"Well. You said just now that there is something to report, what's the matter?"

"Emperor, the skeletons of the pseudo-emperor were suspended in Guangxiao Temple. He had no descendants. I have ordered the Tang King Zhu Yue and his descendants to enter the temple to serve the spirit."

When Zhu Youlang heard this, he knew that the focus of this sentence was the last sentence. Is Zhu Yu'e? It's right to be careful.

Zhu Youlang glanced at Chen Bangyan with admiration and said to himself: "This person is both loyal and capable. It seems that I am using the right person."

After thinking about it, he asked, "Where are the pseudo-queen and the concubines?"

"The pseudo-queen committed suicide when the city was broken, and the two concubines were killed by the Qing soldiers. All the corpses have been identified and confirmed."

"Well, you can bury the corpse of the pseudo-Emperor with the pseudo-Emperor. Death is the most important thing, so let the couple be companions in the nine springs. Your handling is very timely. Let's do this first, and then make other plans when defeating the Qing soldiers."

"Abide by the order."

"Ling Bin, there is another thing. Is there any trust in Chen Jitai?"

"I really don't know, but I don't think Chen Jitai will dare not surrender."

"It may not be dared?" Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Bangyan when he heard this. Chen Bangyan lowered his head. Zhu Youlang couldn't see his expression clearly, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

"Okay, Ling Bin, I'm tired, see you tomorrow." Zhu Youlang said without thinking.

"Goodbye? Oh, literally, it means meeting again, and inside it means asking the minister to retreat. The emperor is really a talented person." Chen Bangyan was stunned by a new word "goodbye", and after thinking about it, he was deeply impressed.

...

The next day in Mao, Zhu Youlang woke up, Alan was waiting for the wash and meals, and was heading towards the east gate at Chen hour.

Chen Zizhuang, Zhang Jiayu, Chen Bangyan, Jiao Lian and others had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the emperor coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Yuanzi, what was the movement of the Qing soldiers last night?" Zhu Youlang asked Zhang Jiayu first.

"Back to the emperor, there was no big deal when the Qing army camp arrived last night. It was just that the nearby villages were in chaos. I wonder if the Qing army was making trouble."

"What's your judgment?"

"From yesterday's attack and defense, I expect that the clearing of troops will invest more troops today and launch a stronger attack, but may not continue to use yesterday's tactics. There are probably new tricks. As for what tricks are, I expect nothing more than three types of driving the people, carrying the land, and building cars."

Needless to say, driving the people is naturally to drive the people ahead to resist arrows; carrying the earth is easy to understand, which means using people to carry the soil to form a ramp as high as the city wall to facilitate charge; building a car means building siege equipment, such as catapults, rushing cars, etc.

Zhu Youlang knew the first two things, but he didn't understand the technique of building a car. Later generations have seen catapults in TV series, and he felt that the threat was not very big. Besides, the territory outside the city was narrow, so how threat could it be to get a few catapults? At such a close distance, the soldiers who operated the catapults were completely exposed to the arrows of the Ming army on the city. If they couldn't do it well, they had not thrown the stones to the top of the city and sacrificed their lives first.

"Yuanzi, according to you, which move is the most likely?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Li Chengdong is a famous 'butcher' and does not take the lives of the people seriously. Therefore, the ministers are most likely to drive the people to bear the land. After all, this method is the simplest. As for building a car, according to the terrain of the East Gate, only the rushing car is the most threatening. However, it is not easy to build a car on the side of the car. It will take several days to create this car, and Li Chengdong may not have to wait."

"What is the rushing car?" Chen Bangyan asked.

"According to historical records, this car is also called Linchong Lu Gongche or Lu Gongche. It is said that it was invented by Jiang Taigong. It is a giant siege chariot. The car is several meters high and dozens of meters long. The car is divided into five layers. Each floor has a ladder for up and down. The car can carry hundreds of warriors, equipped with organic crossbows, poison arrows, guns, halberds, swords, spears and other weapons, and equipment to destroy the city wall facilities. During the attack, everyone pushed the car to the foot of the city, and the roof of the car could be as close to the city wall. The soldiers rushed to the city through the overpass to fight with the enemy. Under the car, they used tools such as crashing wood to destroy the city wall." Zhang Jiayu replied.

"If you drive the people to carry the land, or use the chariot to fight, what strategy should you use to break it?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"When you go back to the emperor, you can use cannons on the front of the city to break it. You can drive the people or the troops to carry the earth. Unless you shoot with arrows, you will not let the enemy soldiers approach the front of the city. I have no good plans." Zhang Jiayu replied with a frown.

Using arrows? This is not a good strategy. The Qing army's archery skills are much higher than those of the Ming army. Judging from the battle situation yesterday, it can suppress the Ming army. Even if it cannot form a suppression and causes some damage to the local soldiers and civilians, some soldiers will surely rush to the city.

If all the soldiers and civilians who were born in the country could not be killed, sooner or later, the Qing soldiers' plans would be successful.

"All my dear friends, think about it, can there be a good plan to defeat the enemy?" Zhu Youlang had no choice but to throw the problem to everyone.

Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't come up with a good way.
