The autumn harvest ended, in the west of Jiande County. When Cheng Xinyuan and Wei Linhan signed the armistice agreement on behalf of the People's Army and the Ming court, the People's Army and the Ming court also officially ceased the war, with the armistice period of three years.

As a condition for the ceasefire, the Ming court needed to marry Princess Qixia Zhu Yaojiang to Fang Nan, the governor of the People's Army. At the same time, the Ming court gave supplies worth three million taels of silver and three thousand craftsmen as dowry. The dowry was delivered to the People's Army ruling area in six months. On March 19 next year, Fang Nan would marry Zhu Yaojiang at the Guangzhou City Grand Governor's Office on time. Zhu Yaojiang had to leave the capital in advance to Guangzhou City.

Wei Linhan's right hand, which signed the armistice agreement, was trembling and his forehead was covered in sweat. It was not because the weather was too hot, but because Wei Linhan felt that his future was lost.

This armistice agreement was a shame for the Ming court. It was a huge shame. It was not enough to send the eldest princess to the People's Army. It also had to give three million taels of silver and three thousand craftsmen. It was even more embarrassing than the last time the People's Army was in a ceasefire. The Ming Dynasty had lost all its face.

I'm afraid no one in the Ming court will dare to mention the matter of a ceasefire agreement or dare to propose it. Whoever dares to propose it in front of Zhu Yijun will be welcomed by Zhu Yijun's anger.

Half a year ago, Wei Linhan thought that completing this important task would bring more trust from the emperor, and promotion would not be a problem. However, when Wei Linhan signed this truce agreement that represents shame, Wei Linhan could already imagine his situation. I am afraid that the emperor would no longer want to see him. Literary scholars would think that he was a sinner and abuse him. He would have nowhere to stay in the Ming Dynasty.

Perhaps it is a good choice to defect to the People's Army, but Wei Linhan just came to his mind and he pinched it off. His home is in the capital, his wife and sons are in the capital. He can now go to the People's Army, but his family cannot.

What's more, Wei Linhan was still loyal to the Ming court and the emperor. Even if he was to become a sinner of the Ming Dynasty, his loyalty would not disappear. He hoped that the Ming court could wipe out the People's Army.

In the palace, I knew that I was going to marry the leader of the thief. For a long time, Zhu Yaojiang was like a walking corpse, most of the time, and his face was full of indifference. Only when Zhu Yijun came to visit her would Zhu Yaojiang squeeze out a slightly ugly smile on his face.

A seventeen-year-old girl who had never left the imperial city to see the outside world, but was about to marry the enemy of the Ming Dynasty.

"Marry" is still nice, or rather "dedicate", giving the Zhu family's women to stop the People's Army.

With just one word, Zhu Yaojiang seemed to have seen his future destiny, which is endless darkness and no light.

Zhu Yaojiang's expectations have become meaningless. Now Zhu Yaojiang is just a living person. Seeing Zhu Yaojiang who looks like a walking corpse, even Zhu Yijun is unwilling to come.

However, Zhu Yaojiang changed quickly. Zhu Yaojiang thought of his mission, just to gain enough time and accumulate strength for the Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Yaojiang felt that it was not enough. Xiang Ning heard a lot of news from other palace maids and eunuchs. The Ming Dynasty was in a very bad situation. Millions of Ming troops were defeated, and no one knew whether the Ming court could defeat the People's Army next time.

Knowing this, as a woman from the Zhu family, Zhu Yaojiang decided to do more for the Zhu family. The ceasefire could allow the Ming Dynasty to accumulate strength. After the Ming Dynasty accumulated enough strength, if his future husband died, the Ming Dynasty would definitely be able to wipe out the thieves.

Zhu Yaojiang took the initiative to make a request to Zhu Yijun to learn the skills of killing, and wanted to find an opportunity to kill the thief leader in the future.

Zhu Yijun did not agree at first, but after thinking for a long time, Zhu Yijun still agreed. He knew that no matter whether Zhu Yaojiang could kill the leader of the thief, Zhu Yaojiang would never escape from the thief base camp. Zhu Yaojiang wanted to use his life to win an opportunity for the Ming Dynasty and Zhu family. This is the woman of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yijun was a little sad. All the millions of troops were defeated by the thieves. The Ming soldiers were incompetent, but now they needed a woman to fight for opportunities.

Soon, several women were ordered to teach Zhu Yaojiang the skills of killing people. They did not use martial arts swords and swords, nor did they learn to draw bows and shoot arrows. This was too difficult for a seventeen-year-old girl, not to mention that the time left for Zhu Yaojiang was less than half a year.

Zhu Yaojiang learned to use common items such as gold hairpins and scissors to kill people. As long as they hit the vital position of the body, they can damage them severely, and they will be useless even if they are not dead.

This kind of murderous technique has a great advantage for women, especially when dealing with lustful people, provided that the other party has relaxed its vigilance.

Zhu Yaojiang, who is studying, does not know that what she learns has no effect on an extraordinary person.

Zhu Yaojiang, a weak woman, is working hard for the Ming Dynasty. There are many people in the world who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and many people are working hard for it.

A scholar from a landlord family saw that the Ming Dynasty was in danger, so he persuaded his father to spend more money to expand the escort team formed from 300 to 1,000 people, and asked his father to take him to meet several good-family gentry merchants who had a good relationship one by one to convince them to form a escort team with a cap of 1,000 people.

The scholar personally entered the guard team and trained with the soldiers, thinking that one day he would lead a large army to defeat the thieves and restore the mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty.

There were officials in charge of the ruling party who frequently met with gentry and merchants, hoping that gentry and merchants would have money and someone would have to work out their money and train an elite Ming army.

Some Confucian scholars also lobbyed the gentry and merchants everywhere, hoping that the gentry and merchants would donate some of their wealth to fight the thieves together.

Even the officials who could not walk when they saw gold and silver in the past have now restrained their actions. They understand that the Ming Dynasty is their backer. If the Ming Dynasty falls, they will all be ruined. Now the Ming Dynasty has a great enemy, the People's Army, and the People's Army can even destroy the Ming Dynasty. In such a critical situation, these greedy officials are even more anxious.

Even if they want to make money, they have to wait until the People's Army is wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. Only when the Ming Dynasty is there can they gain more wealth and have the life to use this wealth.

However, there are still many people in the Ming Dynasty who cannot see the situation clearly. They believe that the court's strategy of allowing gentry and merchants to establish guards can resist or even defeat the People's Army. They are thinking about finding opportunities to fight for power and profit or collect more wealth.

People are so strange. No matter whether the situation is peaceful or dangerous, many people like internal struggles, especially the Ming Dynasty, which has been deeply rooted in various forces for hundreds of years. In the court, ministers will still quarrel about something and compete for their own interests.

Zhu Yijun looked at all this coldly.
