Zhu Cixiang was not surprised.
He smiled lightly and said, "Can you please lead the way, old man?"
The gate official said he didn't dare and walked in front with his body hunched over.
Zhu Cixiang shook up his robes and followed behind.
Liu Chuanzong and Zhao Xin looked at each other and followed.
As for the rest of the guards, they were waiting outside the Yamen.
The layout of the governor's yamen is similar to that of ordinary county yamen and government yamen, with the layout of the front yamen and the backyard.
The front office is for the governor to handle official business, and the backyard is where the governor lives and lives.
The slight difference is that there is a small school yard in front of the governor's office, with all kinds of weapons placed on the weapons racks around it.
Zhu Cixiang knew that the guard system had collapsed in the late Ming Dynasty, and military households in the guard camps had seriously fled their registrations.
Most of the people left behind were exploited by officers at all levels and became their tenants, without the ability to fight.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the real combat effectiveness was the frontier army, that is, recruiting troops.
Among these frontier troops, the most powerful ones were the servants of the general and deputy general.
These people are the general's private soldiers and are the most courageous in battle, but there is also the problem of only recognizing the general and not the court.
This is true for both Liao Town and Zuozhen.
In addition to the border troops led by military generals, the governor's and governor's battalions were also an army with considerable combat effectiveness.
He said that under Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huai'an, there was a Biao camp capable of recruiting and fighting, with about a thousand soldiers.
Now that most of Shandong is controlled by intruders, Huai'an Prefecture, which is adjacent to Shandong, can naturally feel the pressure.
Lu Zhenfei not only organized the training of rural warriors on weekdays, but also tempered the thousands of soldiers from the governor's standard battalion as if they were made of copper.
Zhu Cixiang believed that if the intruders really sent a partial force to besiege Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei would be able to fight.
Menzi led Zhu Cixiang all the way through the hall and stopped in front of a hanging flower door.
He leaned slightly and said with a smile on his face: "My master is in the main room of this courtyard.
After entering this door, you will find the back house.
Only the master can go in.
The other two masters please wait outside." moment."
As soon as these words came out, Liu Chuanzong became anxious.
His job was to serve the prince, so naturally he could not leave Zhu Cihong.
Zhao Xin was also extremely dissatisfied.
He was the chief guard of the East Palace.
If he was not with Zhu Cixiang, who would guarantee the prince's safety?
When Zhu Cixiang saw the two men's eyes widening with anger, he pressed his hands down.
"You two just wait for me outside."
After that, Zhu Cihong took a package from Liu Chuanzong and walked straight through the hanging flower door to the back house.
The back house is composed of several independent courtyards.
According to that door, Lu Zhenfei, the governor of Huai'an, lived in this cross-yard at the entrance.
Zhu Cixi walked to the front of the main room, took a step, and shook his robes.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, an old man with white hair and beard opened the door.
Zhu Cixiang took a closer look and saw this man wearing a black veil on his head, a Yunyan patchwork suit, and a leather belt around his waist.
He thought that this person was probably Lu Zhenfei.
At this time, Lu Zhenfei was serving as the censor of Qiandu, governor of water transportation, and governor of Huai'an.
This Yunyan Buzi uniform corresponded to the official rank of the fourth rank.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhenfei fell to his knees with a plop and burst into tears: "I, Governor of Water Transport and Governor of Huai'an, Lu Zhenfei, pay homage to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhu Cixiang was always puzzled.
He had never seen this person in his mind.
Why did the other person lean down and kowtow without even confirming his identity?

But then I thought about it, Lu Zhenfei was the censor of Youqiandu, and he was considered a high official.
Maybe he had met him when he was in Beijing.
After all, Zhu Cixiang traveled through time in the 17th year of Chongzhen, and it was possible that he had met Lu Zhenfei in the East Palace before that.
Lu Zhenfei obviously understood Zhu Cixiang's doubts and explained: "I met His Highness during the sixteenth year of Chongzhen's 16th year."
Zhu Cixiang finally agreed with this statement.
Emperor Chongzhen loved his eldest son very much.
Whether it was discussing political affairs or meeting with ministers, he would mostly let Zhu Cihong stay by his side to serve him.
Since Lu Zhenfei entered the palace before taking office in Huai'an in the 16th year of Chongzhen, it is not difficult to explain that he met Zhu Cixiang.
It's just that Zhu Cixi didn't inherit this memory.
Zhu Cihong hurriedly helped Lu Zhenfei up and said with emotion: "Gong Haoyue, he went to Nanjing to supervise the country alone with the emperor's decree.
He was passing by Huai'an and came here to see him."
He paused and said: "Intruder When the capital was besieged, the emperor ordered Gu to go to Nanjing to supervise the country.
How could he dare to disobey the order?
Fortunately, he succeeded in breaking out.
He first arrived at Jinmen, then took a boat to Haizhou, and then arrived at Huai'an in four or five days. " Lu Zhenfei was very excited when he saw that the prince knew his nickname and used it to match his nickname.
However, when he thought that the Holy Emperor was still trapped in Shenjing, he choked up and said, "I dare to ask Your Highness what the situation in Shenjing is like now."
Zhu Cixiang knew that he was worried about Emperor Chongzhen, so he just sighed and said: "Shengjing is in danger."
In the original history, on the eighth day of April, Zhenfei would get the news that Shenjing had fallen and the emperor was martyred.
It is estimated that it would be similar in this time and space.
Of course, Zhu Cixiang would not tell the result in advance.
Anyway, the news should arrive in at most ten days.
"If I cannot share your Majesty's worries, I deserve to die."
Lu Zhenfei beat his chest and cried again.
Zhu Cixiang was quite moved by this.
If everyone was like Lu Zhenfei, how could Ming Dynasty reach such a desperate situation now?
He comforted: "Gong Hao Yue's words are wrong.
I heard that Duke Hao Yue is training tens of thousands of troops in Huai'an, and they are all ready to fight.
Although the intruders are besieging Shenjing now, King Qin's troops are rushing to Jifu, and the thieves are just around the corner. ” Of course he was comforting Lu Zhenfei.
If he was not mistaken, Li Zicheng would probably have sat in the Golden Palace of the Forbidden City and lorded it over him.
Most of his subordinates were chasing the stolen goods in the capital.
Those princes and dignitaries whose enemies were currently unwilling to spend money to help the army not only failed to escape in the end, but even had to take part in their lives.
They really fulfilled the saying of karma and reincarnation.
Hearing this, Lu Zhenfei's heart was filled with hope again: "Your Highness, you are ridiculous.
What I have trained is not as good as the more than 20,000 rural soldiers trained by the Lianghuai regiment, which is not comparable to the border troops."
Zhu Cixiang said harmoniously: "It is rare for Haoyue Gong to train tens of thousands of local warriors in just one year.
It is very comforting to the lonely heart."
Zhu Cixiang had indeed set his sights on Lu Zhenfei's 20,000 rural soldiers.
He doesn't have a single soldier in his hands now, except for the name of a crown prince, which is really unconvincing.
In the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty, only those with soldiers had the right to speak.
Zhu Cixiang did not want to become a puppet like Hongguang.
If you want to restore the Ming Dynasty, accepting Lu Zhenfei's two thousand warriors is the first step.
Of course, he was not familiar with Lu Zhenfei yet, so it was impossible for him to make this request rashly.
In addition, his current status is only the prince of the country, not the emperor.
It is taboo to ask for military power rashly, and Lu Zhenfei cannot give it to him.
A few days later, when the news came that Shenjing had fallen and Chongzhen committed suicide by hanging himself, Zhu Cixiang would be able to ascend the throne in Nanjing and proclaim himself emperor.

At that time, he would be justified in asking for Lu Zhenfei's 20,000 rural soldiers
