As soon as Zhu Zhanji returned, he met Yang Shiqi.
"Your Highness, you're finally back!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Shiqi curiously and said,""Why are you so panicked?"
"Your Highness, there are only your personal guards and the ten thousand soldiers of the Five Cities 'Military Department in the capital.”
Zhu Zhanji frowned and said,"What does Lord Yang mean?"
Yang Shiqi lowered his head." The situation is so tense now. Should Your Highness take a step back?"”
Zhu Zhanji laughed and shook his head. Is Lord Yang joking with me? His grandfather had never cowered when facing the various tribes of the grasslands. Clearly, a little pacification could solve the problem at the border.”
"Why is grandfather so persistent in sending troops? Our Great Ming has never ceded territory or paid reparations. It is the Son of Heaven guarding the country gates and the King dying for the country!”
"Even with such internal and external troubles, the last Emperor Chongzhen was generous enough to die for the country. As a descendant of the Zhu family, the only remaining person in charge of the Zhu family in the capital, does Lord Yang mean that I should temporarily avoid it?”
"Big Ming can't afford to lose this person. My Zhu family can't afford to lose this person!”
"There's no need to talk about this matter anymore!"
"Your Highness, should we transfer 10,000 men from the 3,000 Battalion into the city?" Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly.”
Zhu Zhanji smiled mysteriously." Lord Yang, don't be impatient. The results will be out soon!" Our helpers are coming!"
Yang Shiqi followed Zhu Zhanji to the Palace of Heavenly Purity!
"Your Highness, the British Duke Zhang Fu requests an audience!”
"Please!" Zhu Zhanji nodded.
A moment later.
Zhang Fu, who was dressed in armor, came in and bowed to Zhu Zhanji.""Greetings, Your Highness!"
"British Duke, no need for formalities!"
"The British Duke must be tired from the journey!”
Zhang Fu suddenly knelt down and cupped his fists at Zhu Zhanji.""Your Highness, this humble subject is guilty!"
Zhu Zhanji wondered,"Why did the British Duke come to this?"”
Zhang Fu lowered his head and said in a deep voice," This humble subject has not been strict in managing the family. My descendants cannot share the Emperor's worries. To actually do such a thing is simply a disgrace to my Ming Dynasty. This humble subject is guilty."
"Please punish me, Your Highness!"
Zhu Zhanji chuckled as he helped Zhang Fu up."The British government has said that although Zhang Shiduo's ability is not great, he is still a loyal minister to the court. He is much better than any of them.”
"This time, I summoned you back for the matter of the capital camp. Although there aren't many soldiers capable of fighting, there are still some people. The capital is empty now, and the capital camp is urgently needed to support the situation.”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhang Fu hurriedly bowed.”
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said,"Then I'll have to trouble you, Duke of England."
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
Yang Shiqi stood up and looked at Zhu Zhanji with twitching lips.""Your Highness, is this the reinforcement you mentioned?”
"Otherwise, what reinforcements would we have?" Zhu Zhanji laughed.”
Yang Shiqi frowned." The capital camp has long been corrupted. Can it still be used, Your Highness?"”
"I am not using the capital camp to fight. The capital camp is useless, but it should not be a problem to deal with some scholars, aristocratic families, civil officials, and shakedowns.”
Yang Shiqi was stunned for a moment before he bowed to Zhu Zhanji and said,""Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Zhanji smiled and a cold light flashed in his eyes. The British Duke had come back today with a very humble attitude. On one hand, he was apologizing for his unfilial descendants, and on the other hand, he had officially expressed his willingness to stand on his and his father's side in the future.
The Duke of England was an influential figure in the military. It was a good thing that such a person was on his side. However, since he had chosen to stand on his side, he had to do something.
He just wanted to use the capital camp to clash with these nobles in the capital!
One must know that there was no turning back. If they stood on his side, they would have to follow him all the way to the end.
"Sixi!"
The young eunuch Sixi ran in and bowed,""This servant is here."
"Pass down the order, Duke of England, I will be inspecting the capital camp tomorrow!”
"This servant will obey."
Zhu Zhanji smiled lightly and turned around to go back to rest.
At this moment, the British Duke Zhang Fu had already brought his personal guards to the residence of his descendant.
The door of the British Duke's mansion opened.
Zhang Shiduo stood at the front, and behind him were the families of the British government.
"Unfilial descendant Zhang Shiduo greets ancestor."
"Greetings, ancestor!"
"Greetings, ancestor!"
Zhang Fu's heart was also very complicated. He knew that the descendants of his family were useless, but they were still his descendants. What should he do? They couldn't possibly be exterminated like the Duke of Cheng's Public House.
He had already investigated when he came. Although Zhang Shiduo had not done anything to make him proud all these years, he was a great person compared to those noble people who had done all kinds of bad things.
It was only because he understood the situation clearly that he was willing to gamble his family's future and life to save these unfilial descendants!
Zhang Fu nodded slightly and said,"All of you, get up."
"Thank you, ancestor!"
"Thank you, ancestor!"
