Transformed into a Princess of the Late Ming Dynasty: Invincible

Chapter 21 The Devil Descends to Ming Dynasty

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, at the end of January in 1639, the eleventh year of Chongzhen, heavy snow was falling. Outside Pinggu County, there were dense crowds of people, all equipped with new flintlock rifles, with steel knives on their waists and wearing cotton armor, standing motionless outside the city.

The puppet that Zhu Mianzhu had previously enchanted with wooden carvings had long been moved to Pinggu County. The gold mines and weaving factories were spread out for several miles, which caused a lot of inconvenience in the valley. So last year, at Zhao Yi's suggestion, they were moved to Pinggu County.

At this time, in the Pinggu County Government Office, Zhu Mianzhu was wearing a cotton coat and sitting in the position of the county magistrate. Because the original body went to the world of the original god, the flow of time in the two worlds was not the same, and only more than two years had passed in the Ming Dynasty world.

The body of the puppet does not change with time. At this time, Zhu Mianchu was less than 1.5 meters tall. When she sat on the official seat, her short legs could not even touch the ground.

Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng, wearing cotton armor, knelt below, while Xiaohuan and Man Sui, also wearing smaller armor, stood on Zhu Mianzhu's left and right.

It was a cold winter at the time, and the cotton armor was not only effective in keeping out the cold, but could also block the damage from firearm bullets. Apart from being a bit bulky, it was much better than full body armor.

In the main hall, Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng said below:

"Princess, please send troops to the capital."

"Princess, please send troops to support the king."

Since Dorgon entered the Pass for the fourth time in September 1638, he has been looting everywhere inside the Pass, passing through Hebei, Shandong, and the surrounding areas of the capital. It has been four months since the looting began.

A few days ago, news came that Gaoyang City was captured in November. Sun Chengzong's family would rather die than surrender. His sons and grandsons were all killed in the battle, and the women, women and children all committed suicide. More than one hundred people in the family were killed.

Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng admire this loyal and heroic family from the bottom of their hearts. However, Pinggu has trained more than 20,000 elite soldiers in these years, equipped with the best firearms in the entire Ming Dynasty, wearing the best cotton armor in the entire Ming Dynasty, and having the best food, clothing, and housing in the Ming Dynasty. However, the Jiannu killed the people of our Ming Dynasty and humiliated the women of our Ming Dynasty, but our soldiers remained motionless in Pinggu County.

In October, they received an imperial edict from the capital, asking them to go to the capital to defend the king. However, the princess remained unmoved and expressionless, refusing to listen to the edict. If they had not personally experienced in previous years that mountains collapsed and the earth cracked, dragons turned over, and mountains shattered with the movement of a wave of their hands, Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng would have led their troops to the capital to defend the king long ago.

The princess never asked about the recruitment of soldiers. The soldiers only knew that the army was formed with the princess's money, but they had never seen the princess in detail. Usually, all matters in the army were commanded by Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng, while the money and food were controlled by Xiaohuan and Mansui.

Yesterday, news came that the Qing army had captured Jinan Prefecture and slaughtered all the men in the city, young and old, leaving over 100,000 corpses.

Many women and children were abducted and taken outside the Great Wall to be used as reproductive tools for the Jiannu.

Today, the soldiers in the army are filled with righteous indignation, and all the captains under their command are furious. The two of them alone can no longer suppress the soldiers in the army.

At this time, Xiao Huan also whispered beside him:

"Your Highness, the Queen also sent a letter yesterday, asking Your Highness to lead the troops to the capital. I will present the letter after she finished speaking."

Xiaohuan stopped talking after she finished speaking. In the past two years, ever since she and Mansui were sent to study, they clearly felt that although the princess in front of them looked exactly the same as before, she no longer joked with them, and no longer asked for a warm bed in winter. She seemed much colder.

A few days ago, outside the Qianqing Palace in Shuntian Prefecture in the capital, several eunuchs listened to the movements inside and trembled with fear, fearing that they would do something careless and lose their heads.

Inside the palace, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian was furious as he swept aside the official documents on the imperial desk and shouted:

"This rebellious girl, I issued an imperial edict in September, ordering all the troops from across the country to come to the capital to defend the king. However, I didn't know that these troops were so vulnerable. In November, I had no choice but to send her a secret decree, allowing her to lead the troops to the capital."

"But who knew that this rebellious girl pretended not to see anything, just took a look and threw it aside."

Zhu Youjian looked at the memorial sent from Jinan in his hand. There were drops of dried blood on it. It said that Jinan had fallen, Shandong Governor Song Xuezhu was hung on the city gate and burned alive by the Jiannu, and hundreds of thousands of people in the city were slaughtered by the Jiannu, without any escape.

"This rebellious girl"

Zhu Youjian looked at the Crown Prince's East Palace with eyes full of grief and indignation. His eldest son was just an ordinary person. Although he was filial, he was of no use to the current world.

At this time, Empress Zhou walked to Zhu Youjian's side, took his hand and said comfortingly:

"Doesn't Meizhu want status? Why not use this opportunity to establish a government for her? This time, the Jianzhou Jurchens are wreaking havoc in the interior, leaving nine out of ten houses in Jinan Prefecture empty. Why not just give Jinan Prefecture to Meizhu as her fiefdom?"

"Doesn't Meizhu want it? If she wants it, Your Majesty, please give it to her."

Zhu Youjian turned around, looking at the Queen with red eyes, and then he made up his mind and said,

"Since she wants it, give it to her."

In the Pinggu County Yamen, as Xiaohuan presented the letter from Queen Zhou to her, Zhu Mianzhu's puppet clone took a look at it and placed it on the table without saying a word.

The puppet clone, Zhu Mianzhu did not separate too much of her soul before she left, so it only has the most basic survival instincts and the logic of dealing with things.

Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng, who were quietly looking up at this scene from below, felt very disappointed. It was snowing heavily outside the city at this time, and the soldiers were waiting for the princess to send troops. If they did not send troops today, their soldiers would be in trouble.

The yamen was quiet. Zhu Mianzhu's puppet was sitting in the main seat, Xiaohuan and Mansui were standing on both sides with their heads down, and Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng were kneeling below. Suddenly, the air fluctuated and a round black hole appeared in the air.

A ray of emerald green light emerged from the black hole, then drew an arc in the air and landed in front of Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng.

As the emerald green light flashed, the black hole disappeared into the air.

The emerald green light instantly expanded and turned into a human shape. As the green light disappeared, the Great Compassion Tree King, dressed in divine clothing, appeared barefoot in the Pinggu County Government Office in the Ming Dynasty world.

At this time, Zhu Mianzhu frowned and turned around, looking at Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng, and said:

"What are you two doing?"

Then he looked at the small ring and full spike above

"Stinky maid, Mansui, why are you still standing there?"

After saying this, the incarnated soul in the main seat of the yamen turned into a stream of light and entered Zhu Mianzhumei's heart, leaving only a puppet.

With a wave of her hand, the memorial on the table flew into Zhu Mianzhu's hands. With a quick glance, she knew what was written on it.

Xiaohuan and Mansui looked at the puppet that Zhu Mianzhu had carved two years ago and said in surprise:

"your Highness?"

As the words fell, Man Sui ran to Zhu Mianzhu and timidly shouted:

"Owner"

At this time, Zhu Mianzhu looked at Zhao Yi and Wu Cheng, who also looked surprised, and asked, "Why are you two kneeling here? And what are the more than 20,000 people standing in the snow outside the city for?"
