Zhao Peng recognized this person, who was a salt merchant in Lianghuai. He not only did salt business, but also grain business, and also had his own fleet on the canal. This time, Zhao Peng traded with Li Zicheng, and used this fleet. So Zhao Peng helped Jiang Guomao up: "Shopkeeper Jiang quickly invites you and I will cooperate with each other for a win-win situation, so why bother with politeness!"

"Thank you, Mr. Princess!" Jiang Guomao stood up after thanking him, "Your Highness, Mr. Princess, the grass-roots boat has been prepared, and you two can cross the Yellow River immediately!"

There are more than a hundred ships docked on the bank of the river, most of which are from the Jiang family, as well as the Zheng family and the Li family fleets.

Among the salt merchants in Lianghuai, the largest one is the salt merchant of the Zheng family. The most famous one of the Zheng family is Zheng Yuanxun. This person was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen and was appointed as the head of the Qing Lisi. In addition, there are also the Li family, Zhang family, Dai family, and Yan family. The Jiang family is also a big salt merchant family of Lianghuai. Jiang Chun, a descendant of Jiang Guomao, was a big salt merchant who supported the cost of Shiquan's old man going to Jiangnan. Just Shiquan's old man going to Jiangnan, the Jiang family supported one million taels of silver; and for the sake of the Little Jinchuan War, the Jiang family even raised four million taels of silver!

Zhao Peng was doing business with the Shun Army and transported food to the Shun Army. The Jiang family contributed the most, and of course earned the most. According to the national policy of "borrowing the enemy to pacify the enemy" formulated by Shi Kefa and others, merchants could only provide food to the Qing Dynasty, and they could not provide food to Dashun, otherwise it would be a serious crime of treason. The Zheng family, the largest salt merchant, dared not do this because they were officials and businessmen. After learning that it was His Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort who delivered food to the Shun Army, they decisively seized this opportunity and made a big profit from it.

With a long shout of "boarding the ship", Princess Kunxing walked first, Zhao Peng followed closely behind, and a large group of Jinyiwei followed on the ship. The prince Zhu Ciyang also mingled among Jinyiwei. He wore a six-petal pointed iron helmet, a black flying fish suit, and a black iron armor on his face. He disguised himself as a Jinyiwei's captain, and mixed with a group of Jinyiwei's guards, which was not at all prominent.

The Jinyiwei walking in front of them were all wearing red flying fish suits and wingless black hats. Who would pay attention to Zhu Ciyang, dressed as a soldier in the Jinyiwei?

Two thousand Jinyiwei and four thousand infantrymen boarded the ship, and the merchant fleet took the banner of the prince-in-law Duwei and Princess Kunxing, left the shore and headed towards the south bank of the Yellow River.

After crossing the Yellow River, Xuzhou was on the other side. Before the ship arrived on the other side, you could see the Ming flag and the "Gao" flag hanging high above the city of Xuzhou City on the other side on the surface of the Yellow River. The Gao flag was the banner of Xingping Bo Gao Jie. According to the garrison given to Gao Jie by the Hongguang court, Gao Jie stationed in Xuzhou and Sizhou. However, Gao Jie was not in Xuzhou at this time, but hid in Yangzhou, which was the most prosperous Yangzhou. In order to compete for Yangzhou, Gao Jie attacked Huang Degong and fought a fierce battle with Liu Liangzuo.

The defenders at the city head saw Princess Kunxing and Jinyiwei crossing the river south, and did not dare to neglect them, so they hurriedly reported to the guard general Li Chengdong.

Li Chengdong received the report from the soldiers, so he naturally did not dare to neglect. He hurriedly led his generals and soldiers out of the city to greet the riverside embankment. On the thousand-mile long dike on the south bank of the Yellow River, flags were waving, gongs and drums were loud, wearing golden six-pound pointed iron helmets, wearing mountain literary armor, and wearing a big red cloak, standing in front, and teams of Ming soldiers in red armor behind.

The fleet was approaching ashore, and the infantry on the ship got off the ship first. Teams of Ming army infantry wearing goose yellow red tassel felt hats and big red mandarin duck battle jackets came down from the ship and quickly formed a formation on the river embankment. Then teams of teams wore black six-petal steep iron helmets and black flying fish suits. The Jinyiwei, covered with black iron armor, got off the ship, stood on both sides, leaving a passage in the middle.

Next, a three-story boat docked on the shore, and the springboard was placed on the boat. Dozens of Jinyiwei wearing wingless black gauze hats and red flying fish suits got off the boat, followed by Princess Kunxing, wearing a phoenix crown and palace costume, wearing a wingless black gauze hat, and Princess Kunxing, wearing a purple flying fish suit, walked off the boat side by side.

"Your Highness the Princess is here!" The Jinyiwei shouted in unison.

Li Chengdong and a group of soldiers knelt on one knee in the direction of Princess Kunxing. After a while, Princess Kunxing and Zhao Peng came to them.

"Last time, Li Chengdong will meet the princess and the prince-in-law!" Li Chengdong knelt on one knee to salute.

Li Chengdong and Zhao Peng remembered this name. He always felt that the name was very familiar. It seemed that in his previous life, some online literature and history forums often appeared. But he didn't remember what kind of person he was, and only had a little impression. It seemed that this person was Gao Jie's general, who first surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and then anyway.

Anyway, there are many talents in this era, and any person he meets may be a big shot who has left his name in history. Thinking of this, Zhao Peng smiled: "General Li is exempted from the gift, please get up quickly!"

Li Chengdong stood up and made a gesture of invitation respectfully: "Your Highness, Princess, Princess, please follow me in the future."

Just now, when the Ming army infantry and Jinyiwei got off the ship, the momentum of the soldiers under Zhao Peng's command really shocked Li Chengdong. The soldiers showed a heart-wrenching murderous aura, which was the murderous aura that only soldiers who had seen blood and killed the fierce gods. Li Chengdong had also heard of the deeds of the prince-in-law Zhao Peng. This man led ten thousand old and weak soldiers to guard Lianpeng Mountain, repelled hundreds of thousands of Qing troops, and killed the Qing army's corpses everywhere. The myth of the Jurchens being less than ten thousand and invincible, was destroyed in the hands of this person.

The Ming army in this era had long been psychologically shattered by the Qing army. Suddenly I heard someone who could defeat his Qing army dozens of times. This person was naturally the hero in the minds of the Ming officers and soldiers.

Li Chengdong also secretly looked at Princess Kunxing. Although the princess was young, she already had a noble royal temperament, and obviously had a maternal atmosphere that was in the world. This momentum was not fake.

Crown Prince Zhu Cilang also mingled among the crowd of Jinyiwei, followed his sister and brother-in-law, and walked into Xuzhou City.

The infantry camped outside the city, and only the five hundred Jinyiwei followed Zhao Peng and the princess into the city.

Li Chengdong sent a greeting banquet in his mansion. He asked his wives, concubines and other female relatives to accompany Princess Kunxing to sit in the inner hall for dinner, while he accompanied Zhao Peng and others in the outer hall. A wine table was placed in the inner hall separated by the screen, Princess Kunxing and Li Chengdong's wives and concubines sat together; three tables of banquets were placed on the outer hall, and the master Li Chengdong, guests Zhao Peng, Gao Wencai and others sat on the other two sub-tables, and Li Chengdong's generals, and the personal soldiers and officers of the Jinyiwei Baihu. In the open air outside the hall, there were more than a dozen banquets, filled with low-level officers of Li Chengdong and low-level officers such as the Jinyiwei flag brought by Zhao Peng.

"The prince-in-law is so young that he can defeat hundreds of thousands of Jiannu with ten thousand men. He is really a young hero!" Li Chengdong admired Zhao Peng so much that he was overwhelmed.

Li Chengdong's eldest son Li Yuanyun picked up the wine glass and said, "Jiannu is cruel. Everyone says that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible! I heard that wherever Jiannu goes, all the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fled in the wind. General Zhao was able to defeat Jiannu repeatedly with ten thousand new soldiers and beheaded more than ten thousand. It is really admirable! The young general respects General Zhao with a cup!"
