"Sir Luo, since the Grand Governor decided to set out to Jiangnan at the end of the month, we must first consider how to march. The Grand Governor's Guards were all transferred to Jiangnan to station, with a total of more than 8,000 people, and they also carried a large amount of supplies, livestock and forage, etc., transportation was a big problem." Chen Liangji said.

"I suggest taking the waterway, the Grand Canal, and the commander's yamen through the Ministry of War, mobilized thirty naval battleships. They will come to the capital around the 26th day to transport personnel, equipment and supplies, and also transfer ten canal ships to carry livestock and forage. The cavalry battalions and mule carts can follow the fleet on the river avenue." Luo Ming bowed and said.

The current Grand Canal has not been blocked yet, and is an important lifeline for transportation between the north and the south. It can be directly from the capital to the Yangtze River.

"No, the fleet is too large, and the Grand Canal is the lifeblood of the canal transportation. September is the time when money and grain are transported to the capital. We cannot delay national affairs. The army and officials cannot get their salary. Wouldn't we blame me?"

"Besides, the large ships in the canal are mainly driven by human power, which is very inconvenient to move. In this way, the infantry battalion, firearm battalion and transportation support battalion take the sea route and go out from Jincheng to Ningbo City. The cavalry battalion is a mobile force and the target is also Ningbo City. They also do not enter Jinling. This time they take the land route, and the Jinyiwei from various places is responsible for eating and accommodation, as well as horse for forage."

"The ones who went to Jinling to attend the city entry ceremony and stationed as a protective force were the 300 people and 380 elite soldiers from the royal palace guards, and then selected 1,100 outstanding officers and soldiers from the infantry battalion, and the other entourage personnel."

"You hurry up and find two ordinary passenger ships, and you must be slightly larger. The Censor and I set off three days in advance. You and Luo Yi led the guards to disguise themselves and follow them to protect them. The officers from Southern Zhili, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces accompanied them, and they also walked on the sea."

"We try to delay time when the fleet is moving slowly. Even if we replenish food and fresh water, we should not contact the governments along the coast. We first go to Yongcheng to deal with the garrison of the Grand Commander's Guard, and then secretly go from Hangzhou, Suzhou, Longcheng and Zhenjiang to Jinling."

"Christopher, Allen, you can go with you. The capital is not a place for a long time. I plan to build a military camp and a base for the Jinyiwei in Ningbo City. You can live there to assist me in the business of overseas merchants and teach Western languages. In the future, I will approve the construction of a church and allow you to preach in the local area." Zhu Ruisheng said.

These two missionaries have been knowledgeable all the way, and they mastered four languages, which is also an important condition that Zhu Ruisheng urgently needed. The Tianming Dynasty was not without translation, but the number was very small, and most of them were the languages ​​of various countries in Southeast Asia. If you want to enter South Asia and North Asia, you have to train them themselves.

"Thank you, His Highness, the great prince, we obey your arrangements!" Christopher said.

"May God bless you all the best!" Allen said.

The joy on their faces was unconcealable. It had been more than ten years since they arrived in the Tianming Dynasty. They had failed His Majesty's ardent hopes and the missionary work had not been able to open up.

Unexpectedly, I accidentally met a prince, but I turned the situation around in a short period of time. This must be God’s appearance!

"I also admire the culture and technology of the major empires in Europe very much. If I have the opportunity, I will send you back to my country and help me express my greetings to His Majesty the Pope, and bring some talents back by the way." Zhu Ruisheng said with a smile.

For several consecutive days, the atmosphere in the capital was quite strange. Emperor Shenglong pardoned the serious crime of the Kedao official, and dismissed the left censor Zhou Xia and the right censor Fan Lixian. The rest of the people were punished twenty times, and then they wrote a sentence: the officials who had originally impeached the King of Song and the official who had been fined three years were also exempted from punishment this time.

The cabinet and the six ministries, which were breathing through the officials early, were originally not afraid of the imperial power and tried their best to advise, but they sat at the crater all of a sudden, feeling uncomfortable all over!

A rumor slowly spread in the capital. In order not to involve themselves and to preserve their status and official positions, the cabinet and the six ministries actually suggested to the emperor that they would impose severe punishment on the officials of Kedao and officials in Beijing.

"It's simply incredible. How did things turn out like this? At that time, the emperor was furious and wanted to kill the nine clans of the Kedao officials involved in the impeachment. We should have to protect them, so we gave a reluctant punishment. In just a few days, there was a sudden big reversal. I really can't figure it out!" Xu Shuo, the second assistant to the cabinet, said depressedly.

As the saying goes, if the cabinet cannot accurately grasp the emperor's pulse, it will always be in a passive state. This time it is an obvious signal!

"My father is nearly fifty years old, and his mentality is very different from before. No one can guess what he thinks. This is fine. We have received the private support of our father. When Sun Dongqing collapses, we will take control of the cabinet. He is the chief minister, and the officials of the Kedao must first target him." Zhu Ruiqian said.

Zhu Ruisheng's previous speculation was correct. Emperor Shenglong had indeed lost patience with Sun Dongqing, the chief minister of the cabinet, and began to support the power headed by Xu Shuo and maintain the shaky rule of the Tianming Dynasty.

Thanks to the help of Qingliu, King Zhu Ruiyuan, was temporarily in a clear advantage in the battle against the throne, but also because he was implicated by Qingliu, his advantage could become a disadvantage at any time. It is precisely the reason why good fortune is based on misfortune, and misfortune is bound by good fortune.

"The situation is not that optimistic. Sun Dongqing has been the chief minister for many years and has the strong support of the Qingliu faction. It is deeply rooted. It is not that easy to get him to retreat."

"I have a very bad feeling recently. His Highness Song is a little worried. It's not that I'm afraid that he will take charge of the Jinyiwei, but that he has touched military power. This is a hidden danger after all. There are too many such examples in history." Xu Shuo said with a serious expression.

Of course, the words cannot be said so bluntly, but the meaning is clearly expressed. The army is the key force that determines the regime. If the prince masters the force, it is too dangerous.

"I haven't remembered that Master Xu didn't mention it yet. The Grand Commander Guard formed by the Ninth Brother has become a joke these days. In the large campus in Beijing, I just practice the guard of honor every day."

"If you don't eat in the morning, you run without eating, and then you will stand under the sun for a while and stand in formation. It is said that hundreds of people have fainted, and the military doctors are too busy."

"What's even more funny is that you have to support the ground with both hands and do push-ups every day, lying on the ground with your head in your hands, doing sit-ups with your upper body, and doing sit-ups with horses, archery, punches, and kicks without training!"

"According to the generals of the Beijing camp, the so-called Grand Commander Guard is a pure guard of honor, all of which are not useful. If you are pulled on the battlefield, you can't fight at all!"

"I'll just say that Lao Jiu has never had any lofty ambitions or ambitions. He said that he has the ambition to seize the throne by force, so he really respects him." King Zhao Zhu Ruiqian said with a smile.
