Zhu Cixuan's meaning was very clear when asked, that was to obtain the support of the four towns in Jiangbei.

Zhu Cilang is still a little weak now. If he had the support of the four towns in Jiangbei and the trump card in his hand, he would be just around the corner.

Of course, except for Gao Jie, the other three companies are not that easy to attract.

Although the Southern Ming Dynasty court used their relationship with them, it also gave them a good position.

If you want to recruit them, the treatment will not decline first. I have only heard of the increase in the return, but I have never heard of the reduction in the treatment.

After Zhu Cilang's inquiry, he also knew what the four towns in Jiangbei are most lacking now. He has food in his hands these days, so he is not panicked.

In order to control the four towns in Jiangbei well, the imperial court did not give them enough food. Every time it was like squeezing toothpaste, only giving them less than half a month of reserves, so that they could control them.

After hearing this, Zhu Cilang immediately became scheming and exchanged 400,000 kilograms of grain immediately, and then gave 100,000 kilograms of grain each time to commend the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to these 100,000 kilograms of grain, each family also has 50,000 taels of silver.

Of course, this amount is not very large, it just shows them an attitude that His Royal Highness has money and food, and is much more generous than the court. It depends on how you decide.

Under Zhu Cixuan's instructions, Gao Jie immediately sent someone to deliver the things.

Huang Degong is the closest to this place, so this guy reacted the fastest. The next day, Huang Degong's letter had already come, saying that he would bring people to surrender soon.

Zhu Cilang also saw Huang Degong in history books.

This guy is arrogant, but he is quite loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Although the army he remediated was not very good, he did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty in the end, which is considered to be full of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

Besides, Huang Degong, like Gao Jie, does not think that Ma Shiying and Zhu Yousong can play any flowers.

The Ming Dynasty has not reached that point yet. His Royal Highness from the capital is the orthodox. When doing anything, you must follow the right person.

If you follow the wrong person, don’t worry about how icing on the cake you used to, you will have to vomit as much as you eat in the end.

So the next day, Zhu Cilang summoned Huang Degong at the General's Mansion.

This guy looks rude, but he is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. When he saw Zhu Cilang, he immediately began to express his loyalty.

"Don't worry, Your Highness the Crown Prince. Although the last general is vulgar, there is no problem in fighting in this regard. I am willing to be a pioneer for Your Highness. Your Highness will fight wherever you point? No matter whether it is Jiannu of the Qing Dynasty or that bastard Li Zicheng, we are not afraid of anyone."

Huang Degong's voice was very loud and he didn't have so much etiquette when speaking.

Gao Jie had some friendship with this guy. After reminding him, he realized that he was talking too much.

Takata observed carefully from the side that in addition to Huang Degong, all three deputy generals were brought here.

It seems that he is sincerely surrendered. If he hadn't been sincerely surrendered, he would not have taken out all his subordinates' assets.

Takata nodded gently to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, indicating that he had agreed.

"General Huang will retreat for the time being, where are Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo?"

Zhu Cilang remembered the officers and soldiers of the other two towns again.

"When they returned to the Prince, they did not reply immediately after receiving the letter from Lao Nu, but did not reply to Nanjing. It seems that they are still considering it, but please rest assured that all the stations to Nanjing are in Lao Lu's control."

Takata's words were not only a report to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also a vaccination for Gao Jie and Huang Degong.

Let you know the strength of our Xichang Factory and be loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince in the future. Don’t have any trouble, otherwise your head will not be able to be kept.

Gao Jie has adapted to the past two days and knows that the people on the side of His Royal Highness are powerful.

Huang Degong was sweating behind his back. Fortunately, he brought someone over and hesitated at the beginning. If he wanted to send someone to report to Nanjing, he might have been exposed now.

When Huang Degong came in, he also saw the new army outside. Gao Jie's original army knew that it would not have such strong combat power. This should be the personal army brought by His Highness the Crown Prince.

Just as everyone was talking about the current situation, a small school outside came in to report that Ma Shiying's people were actually here.

The school didn't say anything, and Huang Degong's deputy general also came in. It turned out that Ma Shiying conveyed the will of the Southern Ming court, and it was also conveyed to the four towns in Jiangbei at the same time.

I heard that Huang Degong was with General Gao Jie, so the person who sent the order came directly with the imperial edict. Who knew that two groups of people met on the way, so they came to pass the edict together.

Gao Jie and Huang Degong took the imperial edict from their subordinates. They would not have kneeled to accept the imperial edict before, after all, they had no good impression of the Southern Ming court.

The two of them were very skilled in opening and looking, but Takada coughed at this time.

"Inheriting the Imperial View of His Highness the Crown Prince."

The two of them reacted instantly and hurriedly knelt in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It turned out that they could make decisions by themselves. Now do you have the right to make decisions by themselves?

Fortunately, Takada reminded him just now, and the two of them looked gratefully at Takada. If they opened it in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it would be a very disrespectful sin.

"Open."

With His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words, the two of them had nothing to be afraid of, and opened the imperial edict in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"This doggy-good Ma Shiying..."

"Dare to say anything."

The two of them almost said it together. After all, they are military generals and don’t pay so much attention in their daily lives.

Now I hurriedly stopped my words and forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here. I will have to pay attention in the future.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care, otherwise the people would have already fallen because of their words and deeds.

No wonder the two of them reacted like this, because the orders in this imperial edict were too ruthless.

The court issued an imperial edict to them, asking them to pay attention to the merchants coming and going and collect information about the fake prince.

Zhu Cilang is obviously a genuine prince, but in their mouths, he has become a fake prince, and his ability to throw dirty water is not weak.

These people are also very good at fighting psychological warfare.

They said that they received news that a fake prince appeared in the north and was preparing to go south to cheat, but it was actually supported by Li Zicheng and the Qing court.

And he will arrive in Jiangnan soon and order the four towns in Jiangbei to conduct strict searches. If someone finds that he claims to be the prince of the current dynasty, he does not need to escort to Nanjing, and he will be executed on the spot...
