Chapter 87 Wu Sangui asks for the prince

When he heard that the Crown Prince was injured, Zhao Peng hurriedly asked Li Zicheng: "King, please Rong Mo General to visit His Highness. After all, the Mongol is an old minister of the Ming Dynasty. His Crown Prince is injured. It is reasonable and the Mongols are all here to visit."

Li Zicheng agreed to Zhao Peng's request: "Go, young general, the Lone King is not a heartless person."

Zhao Peng went to the camp where the prince Zhu Cilang was placed. When he saw the prince lying on the sickbed, he saw that Zhu Cilang had pale face and his eyes were closed. If it weren't for the chest that was rising and falling with his breathing, it would have made people mistakenly think that this was just a corpse.

"Your Highness of the Crown Prince!" Zhao Peng burst into tears. It was not that he really had a lot of feelings for Zhu Ming, but that the life and death of the Crown Prince was related to the future of the Chinese nation. If the Crown Prince Zhu Cilang encountered something unexpected, it would mean that all the efforts he had made during this period were wasted and everything returned to the origin of history. The Qing Dynasty would occupy the capital capital like the original history. Next was the Qing army defeated the Shun Army and went south. Ten days after Yangzhou, the Hongguang Dynasty was destroyed, the hair was shaved and the clothes were changed, the three massacres of Jiading, the Nanchang Massacre, the Guangzhou Massacre... Then the East was three hundred years behind the West, the Opium War, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Eight-Nation Alliance...

Not to mention, a person's life and death can indeed determine the fate of a nation! If it weren't for Guo Wei, Chai Rong's death would not have had the slaughtering dynasty that values ​​culture and neglected military affairs. Without the slaughtering dynasty, there would not have been a tragic history of China's destruction of the world. Guo Wei and Chai Rong died young one after another, and the powerful Great Zhou was replaced by Zhao Song, who valued civil affairs and neglected military affairs, and since then, the era of tragedy of the Han people began.

The prince must not die. Once he dies, then China will destroy the world for the second time. The bad impact of this second destruction of the world is more serious than the consequences of the first Mongol Yuan destroying the Song Dynasty. At least the Mongol Yuan did not leave his head or hair, the Mongol Yuan did not suppress technology, and the Mongol Yuan left the impression on the West was yellow peril, while the Qing Dynasty left the impression on the West was the sick man in East Asia; most of the Mongol Yuan gave the West the magnificent, and the Qing Dynasty's capital gave the West the dirty and messy and backward.

If the Mongol Yuan and the Qing Dynasty were changed, China could still catch up with the great changes in the industrial era, and could still complete the industrial revolution behind the West, becoming one of the world's great powers.

It is very simple if Zhao Peng just wants to survive by himself. As long as he takes the princess with him and flees overseas, perhaps with his scientific and technological knowledge that has been ahead of the West for hundreds of years, he can open up a world overseas. But if he cannot save China, wouldn’t this trip be in vain?

Putting aside nationalism, Prince Zhu Cilang is still his brother-in-law. If the prince encounters an accident, the saddest one will of course be Princess Kunxing.

Zhao Peng walked forward and carefully checked the prince's injuries. In fact, the prince's injuries were not very serious. He was cut on his leg, with armor protection, and the knife wound was not very deep. He was hit by a few arrows on his body, because of the armor protection, the arrows were not very deep. Such injuries could only be seriously injured in this era, but for Zhao Peng, he could easily save the prince.

"Xinyuan, go and boil water. Let's see if the gauze dried yesterday is dry!" Zhao Peng called Chen Xinyuan and asked him to do his business.

The young man, who was a refugee, was very smart. He quickly took the gauze, boiled water on the pot, and also brought Zhao Peng a jar of strong liquor for disinfection.

Zhao Peng put the knife and homemade tweezers into a boiling pot, boiled for a few minutes, took out the knife and tweezers, then helped Zhu Cixuan up, untied his clothes, and disinfected the wound with strong liquor. When the strong liquor touched the wound, he heard a "ah" scream, and Zhu Cixuan woke up from his coma.

"Your Highness, please bear it for a while. I will cure your injuries. Just endure it for a while." Zhao Peng comforted.

Zhu Cilang gritted his teeth, nodded gently, and agreed.

Zhao Peng took off Zhu Cixuan's pants first, disinfected his legs, cleaned the wound, then took a small wooden stick and let him bite it in his mouth, then took out a little gunpowder and poured it on the wound, then brought the candle to the front, and only heard a "huh" sound, the flames rushed over, and Zhu Cixuan was so painful that the sweat beads of soybeans dripped down, and the small wooden stick biting in his mouth was almost bitten off.

After disinfecting the wound, Zhao Peng applied plaster to Zhu Cixuan and bandaged him with clean gauze.

"Brother Prince, are you okay?" A woman's voice came from behind.

Zhao Peng knew as soon as he heard this, Princess Kunxing was coming. He quickly stood up and gave the princess a seat for her to sit down.

Princess Kunxing sat in front of the prince's couch, with tears in her eyes and sobbing: "Brother Prince..."

"Girl, I'm fine. General Zhao is here. He is treating his brother's injuries. You have to believe General Zhao." Zhu Cilang said with a smile.

Zhao Peng asked Princess Kunxing to get out of the way, then pulled Zhu Cilang's sleeves, cut the wound with a disinfected knife, then dug out the arrow, then disinfected the wound with strong alcohol, and then bandaged it with medicine. Soon, several wounds were treated.

"Your Highness, please lie down and rest with peace of mind. It's okay, you won't be in danger of your life." Zhao Peng said. The wound he treated will no longer inflame. It can be said that Zhu Cilang has been out of danger.

"General Zhao, we are surrounded by Jiannu, can we still leave?" Zhu Cixuan asked worriedly, "If this palace is seriously injured and cannot be done, you can take the princess girl to Nanjing."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, Zhao will not leave anyone behind! Even if you are torn to pieces, you will keep your brother and sister safe!" Zhao Peng stretched out his finger and pointed at the sky and swore.

Zhu Cilang smiled desolately: "The father has returned to heaven, and the mother has already died for his country. The two younger brothers of this palace are in the capital again. I wonder if they fall into the hands of Jiannu. Now there is only one relative left. General Zhao, you must live and you cannot let Kunxing be a widow before you pass the door! I know that even if you don't have this palace, Nanjing will establish a new king. Maybe it is Fuba (Zhu Yousong), the son of King Fu, who succeeds the throne. You take the princess to flee to Nanjing and assist the new king with all your strength."

"Your Highness, please don't worry. I will send you away from here with my own way, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait a few days." Zhao Peng said.

Princess Kunxing stood aside and pulled Zhao Peng's arm: "Little General, you must save the prince's brother. My mother is only one relative left. You must rescue him. As long as the prince's brother can survive, I am willing to exchange my mother's life!"

Zhao Peng gently hugged Zhu Niu's shoulder: "Your Highness, as long as the last emperor is here, neither you nor your brother will die! As long as I have a breath, I will protect you!"

Zhu Niang leaned his head on Zhao Peng's shoulder: "Little General, you must survive too. If you have any accidents, Niang will go with you!"

At this moment, someone came outside to report: "General Zhao, the king asked you to come here!"

Zhao Peng asked Princess Kunxing, Fei Zhen'e, as well as his disciple Chen Xinyuan to stay and take care of Prince Zhu Cixuan, and went to Li Zicheng's central army tent.

When he walked into Li Zicheng's central army tent, he saw a guy wearing Ming army armor but with a rattail on his head standing inside. Seeing this, Zhao Peng was furious and pulled out his knife and yelled: "Why would Jiannu dare to die!"

The man sneered: "The two armies are fighting and not being killed! I am just coming to deliver letters to the king, why should the young general do this?"

"General Zhao quickly put down his knife!" Li Zicheng stopped Zhao Peng, "Our army will not kill the enemy envoy. This person is the envoy of Wu Sangui. He came to ask the Prince of the Crown Prince for His Highness!"

The envoy of Guanning Army said: "I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince was seriously injured in the chaos, and it is probably difficult to do so. The King of Pingxi ordered his humble post to come to negotiate with the army. If the army is willing to hand over His Highness the Crown Prince, the King of Pingxi can make way for your army and let you leave this place safely!"

"No!" Zhao Peng shouted, "If the prince falls into Jiannu's hands, he will definitely die!"
