Zhu Ci Xin was a little depressed.
"Commoners, the food I have given you is enough to reach the Leizhou Prefecture! I've already built a town center in Leizhou Prefecture. It's cheap and good. You can also work there to earn money.”
The commoners looked at Zhu Cizao, who was wearing a dragon robe, and knelt on the ground.
They could ignore the words of others, but the emperor's words were firm and unquestionable.
"Your Majesty, we will definitely listen to you. We will go to the Leizhou Prefecture now!”
The commoners who received the food walked towards the Leizhou Prefecture.
Some of the commoners did not forget to remind Zhu Ciao that Slave Jian from the north had already arrived at Zhan Jiang County, and Slave Jian from the east had already arrived at Zhaoqing City.
Zhu Ciyao nodded to the commoners. The commoners cried as they ate the food distributed.
Now, Zhu Ci Xin had already become their reborn parents.
The people of this era were simple and honest. As long as the emperor could feed them, they would definitely support him. They would support the emperor very much.
Zhu Ci Xin could feel that the eyes of the commoners had gradually turned from empty and numb to hopeful.
This was a look of hope for life. The people of the Ming Empire had an advantage that the people of other ethnic groups did not have. No matter how many hardships they suffered, as long as there was a little hope, they could survive tenaciously.
Now, it was this strong hope of survival that made Zhu Ci Xin firmly believe in rebuilding the Iron Blood Ming Dynasty.
When the soldiers handed the food to the people, the people thanked them repeatedly.
"Your Majesty, carrier pigeon!"
A soldier passed the messenger pigeon to Zhu Cishi.
Zhu Ci looked at the information sent by the carrier pigeon and frowned.
"Li Chengdong wants to surrender? No! Send a messenger pigeon to tell the Gui King to capture Li Chengdong and his subordinates. When I personally arrive at Zhaoqing Prefecture and hold a grand execution, I will definitely execute Li Chengdong, this executioner, by a thousand cuts!”
Zhai Ying wrote all of Zhu Ciao's words on a piece of cloth, tied it to the leg of the carrier pigeon, and let it out.
Outside Zhaoqing City, Ma Zhanshan escorted Li Chengdong back to Zhaoqing City and rushed to the carriage formation outside Dinghu County with 5,000 heavy cavalry.
Tudor's army arrived at the manor of a landlord outside Dinghu County in an orderly manner.
The landlord was very enthusiastic. In order to curry favor with Slave Jian, he personally welcomed Lord Tuoduo and even gave the surplus food to the soldiers with the white flags.
Previously, when the commoners passed by, even if they were starving children, Landlord Zhao's family did not give them any food.
Now that Slave Jian's white flag had arrived, Landlord Zhao and the other landowners brought their servants and contributed most of their food.
Lord Tudor was very satisfied with the performance of these landowners.
If it weren't for the Ming Empire's landlord's support of money and grain, his Eight Banners Soldiers wouldn't have been able to march all the way south with unstoppable momentum.
"You are very loyal. As long as you can be our slaves in peace, we will definitely not mistreat you!”,Lord Duo Duo patted Landlord Zhao's face and said with a smile.
The scout with the white flag soon returned.
"Your Highness, we discovered that there are infantrymen besieging the camp. It should be General Li Chengdong's camp. Should we immediately provide reinforcements?”
"Li Chengdong, they are our slaves! Save them for what? When both of them are injured, we will launch an attack, killing two birds with one stone.”
From the bottom of his heart, Lord Tudor looked down on these generals and soldiers of the Ming Empire who had surrendered.
All the way down south, the soldiers who surrendered were so brutal that Lord Tuoduo wondered if he was Slave Jian or if the Ming soldiers who surrendered were Slave Jian.
As for Li Chengdong, Tudor only valued his army for being able to fight, and he did not like Li Chengdong and his soldiers.
The remaining 10,000 soldiers were led by Commander Zhou Wei to defend the camp.
In the distance, the scouts with white flags observed carefully.
In less than 15 minutes, the scout returned to the camp.
"Your Highness, the enemy has more than a thousand infantrymen. However, judging from the number of heads on the camp, there were at least 10,000 people!”
Duo Duo was dumbfounded and patted Landlord Zhao's shoulder.
"You're the landlord of this area. What's going on?”
"Master Duo Duo, you don't know, but General Li Chengdong was beaten up by the Ming army of Zhaoqing Prefecture!”
"What is it? Beaten up badly? How many Ming soldiers?"
"I heard that there are more than a thousand infantrymen and five thousand cavalry!”
Tudor narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought as he sat on the commander's seat.
"Li Chengdong, a total of 60,000 soldiers! Bring Li Xiao Shan up!"
Li Xiao Shan was brought up by the soldiers with white banners.
"Li Xiao Shan, what happened to your foster father? The Ming army has thousands of people, and you have tens of thousands of people. You can't even defeat them?”
Li Xiao Shan's face was gloomy, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.
"Master, you will know when you send soldiers to attack the enemy! This group of Ming soldiers doesn't look like the Ming soldiers we encountered before! It was said that it was an army personally trained by Prince Zhu Cizao!”
Cold sweat broke out on Duo Duo's forehead. His Slave Jian army had entered the pass to avenge Emperor Chongzhen. If this Crown Prince Zhu Cizao was here, wouldn't his name be unjustified?。
"Crown Prince Zhu Ci? He had to be killed. Otherwise, my Qing Dynasty would not be able to live up to its name!”
Li Xiao Shan nodded.
"Yes, Master! We have to kill Zhu Ci! It was said that he proclaimed himself emperor and changed the year title to Xingming, meaning to revive the Ming Dynasty!”
"Revive the Ming Dynasty? What a joke. With a flip of my hand, I'll definitely turn him into ashes!”,Tudor said arrogantly.
Along the way south, they didn't encounter any powerful opponents. This made Tudor and the other ministers and generals of Slave Jian lose their confidence.
They were not the only ones who were floating. The Ming army commanders, generals, and soldiers who had surrendered to them were also lawless and carried away.
"Messenger, go and tell Hong Chengchou who is stationed in Zhan Jiang to invite him to go south. We will attack Zhaoqing City!”
The two Baylors, Bo Luo and Ni Kan, followed behind Tudor.
"Your Highness, we request to fight!"
"Bo Luo, take your ten Niu Lu and attack in six hours! Go and prepare now, and wait for both of them to suffer!”
