It is precisely because of the rules set by the Ming Dynasty vassal kings set by Zhu Di, the Ming Dynasty vassal kings who could enjoy the royal palace, but could not raise troops to support generals and leave the vassal state. The Ming royal family in the late Ming Dynasty became the Ming pig farm mentioned by netizens in later generations. Each vassal king was raised into a bag of wine and food, and consumed a lot of treasury silver every year, but did not make any contribution to the country. Once the country was in trouble, these vassal kings would be fat pigs that could be slaughtered.

Zhu Yihai only knew that Chongzhen was killed after the capital was captured, so he readily accepted the title of governor given to him by local military households, peasants and gentry, but he did not know that Prince Zhu Cilang was still alive, and he did not know that His Highness the Crown Prince actually came to him.

When Zhu Yihai learned that the prince was coming with the Jinyiwei, he was so scared that he was out of control that he quickly took the gentry and people in the city out of the city to greet him.

"Your Highness the Prince is here!" A singing call came from outside the city. Not far away on the official road, a team was marching towards Yizhou City. In front were four Jinyiweisers riding white horses, silver phoenix-winged helmets, silver armor, and flying fish suits. Four Jinyiweisers holding long spears and riding tall white horses, looking majestic. Behind were two rows of infantry wearing black six-petal steep iron helmets and black iron armor. After a long team of well-equipped iron armor infantry passed by, the infantry behind were all wearing goose yellow felt hats and mandarin duck battle jackets.

Tong Infantry. Ordinary infantry came over, and behind were the Jinyiwei infantry wearing black six-petal steep iron helmets, black iron armor, and flying fish suits. In the middle of the Jinyiwei infantry, an Jinyiwei in red flying fish suit and wingless black gauze hat rode a tall horse, followed by four Jinyiwei in blue flying fish suits and wingless black gauze hat. Behind were the prince and princess's carriages; behind were the prince and princess cavalry, behind were the Jinyiwei iron armor infantry, and finally the ordinary infantry and iron armor infantry.

During this time when Zhao Peng's ordinary infantry was in Penglai, he received support from local gentry. A large number of gentry donated a batch of fabric to the Ming army infantry, and hired tailors to make mandarin duck war jackets and goose yellow felt hats for the infantry.

With the mandarin duck war jacket and the goose yellow red tassel felt hat on their bodies, these infantry soldiers who were just a group of gangsters not long ago looked like real soldiers. In addition, they were all from the battlefield. The soldiers baptized by the war have grown into veterans. With the mandarin duck war jacket and the red tassel felt hat, the murderous aura on their bodies is instantly reflected and looks majestic.

The prince and the princess' carriage were approaching, and Zhu Yihai led a group of gentry and people to kneel down one after another.

Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing's car drove straight to Zhu Yihai's palace. When they arrived at the palace, Zhao Peng turned over and got off the horse. The Jinyiwei opened the curtains of the car and welcomed the prince and the princess out of the car. The group of people walked in the palace. Zhu Yihai followed with a group of gentry and also went to the palace.

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang sat down in the middle of the lobby in the palace. Zhu Yihai walked in from outside. As soon as he entered the lobby, he knelt down with a loud "thump" sound, kowtowed to Zhu Cilang repeatedly, and cried with tears in his nose and tears: "Your Highness, Xiao Wang is guilty! I hope that the Crown Prince will be relieved because of Xiao Wang's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty."

"Why is King Lu guilty?" Zhu Cixuan laughed.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings cannot raise troops to support generals and leave the vassals. Xiao Wang has committed a crime! Your Highness, please spare your life!" Zhu Yihai thought that Zhu Cilang refused to let him go, and his pants were so wet.

Zhu Cixuan stood up, walked down the steps, walked to Zhu Yihai, and helped him up: "Your Highness, the time and time, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty was not allowed to raise troops to support generals and leave the vassal states. This is the law of the prosperous Ming Dynasty in the usual times. However, time has changed, and the Ming Dynasty is no longer the peaceful and prosperous era of the past. The world is in chaos, and the King of Lu is holding troops to protect himself. What is the crime?"

Zhu Yihai was moved to tears and murmured: "Your Highness, the ancestral system cannot be violated. Xiao Wang did commit a crime."

Zhu Cilang smiled and said, "The ancestor system can also be adapted. If there is a great chaos today, everyone will share the same hatred of the enemy. They will form troops and contribute money and efforts to protect the Ming Dynasty and protect the Ming Dynasty for thousands of years! King Lu has made contributions and no mistakes!"

"Thank you Your Highness!" Zhu Yihai kowtowed and thanked him with great gratitude.

Zhu Cilang changed the topic again: "When I go to Nanjing to ascend the throne, I will set up a plan to make a vassal king in the world to raise troops to leave the vassals and go to the front line to fight against Jiannu, and be guilty of being a meritorious. If I hadn't gone to the front line to fight against Jiannu, it would be considered a serious crime of treason."

Here, Zhu Ciyang still reserved it. If the vassal king raises troops and generals to go to the front line of the Qing Dynasty, it is allowed to go to the front line of the Qing Dynasty, but if the brigades troops and generals do not go to the front line, it is a rebellion. That is, if you recruit soldiers and horses and don’t go to the front line of the Qing Dynasty to save the country, what do you want to do? Want to rebel? That is something that cannot be tolerated.

Then, Zhu Cixuan asked about Zhu Yihai's military strength again.

Zhu Yihai answered truthfully that he had more than 300 guards from the original royal palace, and more than 100,000 Yuyuan Army who defected to his own Yuyuan Army. The components of the Yuyuan Army were peasant army, gentry landlord armed forces, former Ming military households, etc. The general Ren Qi of the Yuyuan Army was a small landlord, Zhang Qi was a native farmer, Li Huajing was a military officer, and Fan Shenxing was a gentry landlord armed forces.

Hearing that Zhu Yihai actually had more than 100,000 troops, Zhu Cilang and Zhu Meiyu both gasped. However, Zhao Peng put their heads together and said to them softly: "Your Highness, Your Highness, Your Highness, Princess, You don't have to panic. More than 100,000 people are just a mob. Whether you can stop Jiannu is still a question, and you don't have to worry about them threatening us. Since Your Highness, King Lu is willing to serve the country, give him a chance."

Zhu Cixuan then breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Zhu Yihai and said, "King of Lu, can you support one hundred thousand people? Can you afford your own money and food? The court does not have much money to help you."

Zhu Yihai said: "Xiao Wang still has a lot of silver here, and the local gentry and people sighed that he would don't worry about money and food. It's just that the weapons are crude, the armor is insufficient, and the soldiers lack training."

"Okay, money and food are not a problem, so it's good. When the weapon and armor issue arrive in Nanjing, I will definitely help you solve it! Your Highness, King Lu, I allow you to lead troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. You must not let me down!" Zhu Cixuan said with a smile.

Zhu Cilang, Zhu Meiyu, Zhao Peng, Gao Wencai and others stayed in Yizhou for three days. In the past three days, Zhao Peng also visited the tunnel excavated by the Yuyuan Army. He did not expect that the Yuyuan Army had excavated a huge tunnel, and the various villages, towns and the Yushu Forest were connected. The tunnels were well connected and could accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers. The entrances and exits of the tunnel were very hidden, and there were shooting holes in various entrances and exits. Soldiers could hide inside and shoot guns and arrows, but people outside could not hit it.

In the original historical time and space, the Yuyuan Army fought against the Qing Dynasty and revived the Ming Dynasty from the second year of Shunzhi to the eighth year of Shunzhi, and was finally cruelly suppressed by the Qing Dynasty. It was Hou Fangyu who offered a poisonous plan to dig the Yellow River embankment. In the sixth year of Shunzhi, Zhang Cunren dug the Yellow River embankment and flooded the tunnel, causing the Yuyuan Army to lose its hiding place. Two years later, in the eighth year of Shunzhi, the Yuyuan Army, which lost its hiding place, was cruelly suppressed by the Qing army.

As a novice in history, Zhao Peng naturally did not understand these historical events. However, with the Yuyuan Army and the Leiden Castle Group, it would not be so easy for the Qing army to attack Jiangnan.

But there was still a bad news coming from Nanjing: King Fu Zhu Yousong, supported by the Donglin Party, ascended the throne as emperor in Nanjing a few days ago, with the reign of Hongguang.
