Chapter 11 The Holy Driving South (I)

It's going south, especially Zhu Yinglong and Ma Gu are newlyweds. The good ones are like oil in honey. After being nourished, Ma Gu is even more beautiful and indifferent. The harem is taken away by her. In addition, her temperament is gentle and noble, and she is simply pampered with thousands of favors. She is like a new noble in the palace. If Ma Gu hadn't been humble and obedient, and she was generous and decent, she would have been more jealous in the past. However, Zhu Yinglong was still sober. Without the new ones and forgetting the old ones, she still had tenderness and pains, and she should still feel warmth. Not to be favored by one or the other, and a bowl of water was even calmer. This made the concubines in the harem calm, and even a group of ministers were sweating and a false alarm.

If the country is about to perish, there will be monsters. Daji of Shang, Xishi of Fuchai, Yang Yuhuan of Tang Minghuang, etc., profound lessons are right in front of you. Can the ministers not be nervous? Even as soon as Zhu Yinglong enthroned Ma Gu as his concubine, a censor asked Ma Gu to be a demon girl from a different race, and he was bewitched the master with Hu charming and wanted to ask him to behead him! Zhu Yinglong directly drove the censor back to his hometown. It was true that he saw that the censor was sensational!

After Li Yongzuo was beheaded and displayed in public, the atmosphere in the capital changed. The rich and noble princes, second-generation ancestors, and large and small yamen did not dare to go out easily. The elders were also afraid that they would be doomed if they came out to buy some baskets. For a time, the phenomenon of bullying men and women was cleared, and the public security situation reached a new level.

The biggest benefit in this incident was the Beijing Weekly. After this new and unknown thing appeared, except for the court forcing hundreds of copies to be sold in each yamen, it was still given for nothing. The rest was bought out dozens. Not to mention the cost, even paper money was not enough. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this Houfu incident, the Beijing Weekly shined. Nowadays, there are too few things for people to entertain. Whenever there is any disturbance, the beggars at the gate of the city can know it within two hours, but once the news is over, the beggars at the gate of the city can know it.

The opening of hundreds or thousands of people is completely different from the real incident. The emergence of the Beijing Weekly has brought things right and added some topics of concern to the people. Although the price is not cheap, Beijing City, which has a population of one million, consumes 10,000 or 20,000 copies. It was printed twice on the issue of the verdict of Li Yongzuo and his son. The workers took turns to issue two copies and issued two more than 30,000 copies. The president of Mao Jinda of the publisher did not stop smiling for three days, and since then it has added the nickname "Maitreya Buddha".

In the past year, the new army of Beijing camp expanded to twenty brigades based on the original 16th brigades and added four engineering battalions. During this southern expedition, Zhu Yinglong drew nearly three-quarters of the new army's strength, ten infantry brigades, two cavalry brigades (formed with supplies and Mongolia and Later Jin to exchange war horses), one chariot brigade, one artillery brigade, three engineer battalions, and the medical battalion trained by Xiong Hu and Li Qing. The total force reached 60,000. In addition to the advance army's forces about one brigade, the military machinery pavilion directly under the special forces brigade, the Imperial Army and the Imperial Army who accompanied the escorts and administrative officials who took over the governments of various provinces in Jiangnan. In this way, there are almost 60,000 people going south.

Zhu Yinglong's decision to personally expedition was announced to the civil and military officials three days before the date was set. For a moment, there were noises in the morning court and there were constant oppositions. However, Zhu Yinglong had already greeted the two cabinets and six ministries, and only made this decision after soliciting their opinions. When the officials saw that none of the ministers from the cabinet and the military cabinet stood up and spoke, the opposition suddenly became weaker, until they could not hear it at all.

The preparations for the Nanzheng were over. Zhu Yinglong chose the day on the second day of the second month. The dragon raised its head, which had a profound meaning and swearing to the Nanzheng.

In ancient times, generals were not allowed to follow the army, but the emperor no longer listed them. Zhu Yinglong naturally took advantage of this privilege. The quasi-eunuch Zhou Yingning wanted to stay and stay in the capital. The Tian sisters were weak, and Taisong was a Mongolian princess. The Nanzheng incident had little to do with her. This was not a trip to the mountains and rivers, and it was also left behind. Ye Lianyi had just given birth and could not follow. Although she wanted to follow, Chen Qianqian was pregnant, so she naturally could not follow. Xu Ruying was tired of running life and offered to stay. Then the only ones who could follow were Xiong Hu, Li Qing, Yanhong and Magu. After Magu saw Zhuoba, everything was clear and she wanted to go back to Miaojiang in western Hunan, so she followed.

There was another person who insisted on following, that was Lan Rong, who was pardoned by Zhu Yinglong for death. Seeing that her serious injury had not recovered, Zhu Yinglong disagreed, so she knelt in front of Nan Study for a day and a night. Zhu Yinglong asked her why she insisted on following her. She refused to say anything, but just sweared not to do anything that was not good for him. Looking at Lan Rong's firm eyes, she trembled in the cold wind and rain, and she felt so unbearable, so she agreed and gave her the identity of a big inner guard to facilitate her to walk.

With his outstanding performance, Haishi became Zhu Yinglong's personal bodyguard and went south together. After hearing this, Zhou Huaian beat his chest and stamped his feet. With the reason why Lan Rong could follow, he also wanted to follow him. Lan Rong was basically full of external injuries. Although it was painful, it did not affect ordinary actions. Zhou Huaian's upper body penetrated the pipa bone, or Lan Rong was injured. It was internal injuries and it was difficult to walk. Zhu Yinglong certainly rejected it sternly and threatened him with "match". For the love that had just blossomed, Zhou Huaian could only leave his wounds to be dejected and stayed to recuperate.

The endless spring rain finally stopped for several days. On the morning of the second day of the second month, the dark clouds were cleared away, and a red sun rose from the east, symbolizing that this southern expedition would rise like the sun. This hit a big lottery, and the morale of the soldiers who went to the expedition increased a lot.

At the Dongjiao School, tens of thousands of soldiers were neatly arranged, all of whom were energetic and full of morale. At first glance, flags covered the sun, with a rainbow of momentum, and a strong murderous aura filled the audience.

Zhu Yinglong felt uncontrollable excitement. Now he was not only satisfied, but he was simply quite proud. A tiger and wolf army was born in his hands. In the future, he would also command him to expand territory, spread across the pique, and sweep across the Asia-Europe continent!

"The Emperor and the Queen are here, and the ancestors are here. Please bless me to win the southern expedition and eliminate the rebellion in one fell swoop!" Zhu Yinglong walked up to the general's platform, burned incense and bowed to heaven and earth three times and said loudly.

After the ceremony, he waved his hand and ordered people to remove the incense table. Zhu Yinglong waved his black cloak, held the Longquan sword on his waist with his left hand, straightened his waist, turned around and shouted: "Beat the drum!"

"Dongdongdongdong..." The loud sound of war drums suddenly sounded, and they were beating with their pulse.

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Use me in the first battle, and I will win!"

"Long live the emperor, long live! Long live the emperor, long live! Long live the emperor, long live! Long live the emperor, long live!"

More than 50,000 soldiers shouted like a shocking sound. What does that mean? The sound had already suppressed the sound of dozens of war drums, and immediately buzzed Zhu Yinglong's eardrums, his blood boiling, and he felt a strong feeling of fighting on the battlefield!

Like the shouting of a huge wave of hundreds of meters, the rumbling drums continued to ring.

"Your Majesty, the auspicious time has come, and it's time for the army to set off!" Yuan Chonghuan also changed into a new bright silver armor today, and he looked much younger.

"Okay, order the army to set off immediately!" Zhu Yinglong felt energetic and issued a loud order. No matter what, anyone who can have such a glory will always be remembered in his heart.
