King Gui Zhu Youlang was dressed in military uniform, riding on a tall maroon horse, holding the rein with one hand and looking into the distance.
He had been planning carefully for nearly a year, but when he actually launched his troops, the excitement in his heart was still indescribable.
Countless armored soldiers were behind him.
They were majestic, high-spirited, and full of fighting spirit.
In front of him is the beautiful country and thousands of people.
Zhu Youlang felt that his chest was about to expand.
I think Chengzu probably felt the same way when he launched an army to quell the troubles.
It's just that when Chengzu started his army, there were very few people around him who could be used.
However, Zhu Youlang had the support of the General Soldiers of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor of Guangxi and even the General Soldiers of Fujian.
As long as he gives a single command, a hundred thousand tiger soldiers will be able to work for him.
This feeling of giving orders is really refreshing.
No wonder everyone wants to be the emperor.
The feeling of dominating the world and controlling the destiny of the world is truly unparalleled.
Qu Shiqi, the governor of Guangxi, was riding a green horse half a body behind Zhu Youlang.
He opened his lips softly and said softly: "Your Highness, if we go further we will reach the border between Guangdong and Guangxi.
Ding Kuichu will greet His Highness there."
Zhu Youlang nodded and said: "Very good.
After we enter Guangzhou, we can ask Zheng Zhilong to send troops to attack.
He can't just talk and do nothing."
Among Zhu Youlang's three supporters, Qu Shichu is definitely the most loyal and reliable.
This person was the first to support Zhu Youlang.
Whether it was Ding Kuichu or Zheng Zhilong, it was Qu Shichu who helped connect Zhu Youlang.
Without Qu Shichun, it would have been impossible for Zhu Youlang to raise an army.
In comparison, Ding Kuichu is quite reliable.
After all, Ding Kuichu has agreed to Zhu Youlang's trip to Guangzhou.
Leaving the fiefdom without authorization is considered a serious crime of treason, let alone being friends with the governor.
Ding Kuichu's attitude showed that he was completely on Zhu Youlang's side.
Only Zheng Zhilong is somewhat unpredictable.
He was obviously willing to send his subordinates to pretend to be Japanese pirates to raid the southeast and cause trouble for the court, but he was unwilling to send troops directly.
No matter what, Zhu Youlang knew exactly what taking this step meant.
He spread rumors that the current emperor was not of the Liehuang bloodline, hoping to shake people's minds.
If it fails, it will not only be the removal of the king's title, but also the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the clan.
So he cannot fail.
This battle can only be won, not lost.
"Mr.
Qu thinks it is better for me to stay in Guangzhou or go to the front line with the soldiers."
Qu Shichun was silent for a moment and said calmly: "How can the prince, a rich man of gold, easily get into danger?
It is better to stay in Guangzhou City and take care of things."
Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this.
What he was waiting for was Qu Shichun's words.
Some words are not good for him to say in person, but the meaning is completely different when they are said from the mouth of a minister.
Naturally, he wanted to stay in Guangzhou.
Guangzhou is one of the centers in the southeast, and its prosperity is far beyond that of Wuzhou.
Zhu Youlang was pampered and well-fed since he was a child, so he couldn't endure much hardship.
Therefore, he certainly did not want to live in a military camp for a long time, especially in a dangerous place like the front line.

He was very happy that the soldiers were working for him, but it was absolutely unacceptable for him to live in the military camp in order to boost morale.
On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind.
What if an arrow hurts him?
He went to Guangdong mainly for two reasons.
The first is to completely draw Ding Kuichu to his side.
After all, Ding Kuichu had only verbally promised to support Zhu Youlang before, without any substantive actions.
And verbal promises are undoubtedly the most unreliable.
In order to force Ding Kuichu to express his stance, Zhu Youlang resolutely decided to go to Guangdong.
Secondly, he wanted to make Ding Kuichu feel at ease.
After all, if Zhu Youlang stayed in Guangxi, he would be in Qu Shiqi's territory.
Supporting something like this involves great risks.
If the benefits are not enough, it will be a huge loss.
Of course, Zhu Youlang couldn't let Ding Kuichu down, so he had to make a gesture to show that he was willing to cooperate with Ding Kuichu on his territory.
Since he came to Guangdong with these two purposes in mind, Zhu Youlang naturally did not need to go to the front line and could only stay comfortably in Guangzhou.
He comes to enjoy blessings, not to suffer.
Is there any prince in the world who has eaten and lived with a big-headed soldier?
Qu Shichun's heart sank when he saw Zhu Youlang's happy face.
The prince is still less responsible.
It is said that the emperor in the Forbidden City once led a military expedition in person and beat drums at the top of the city.
In comparison, King Gui was much less courageous.
But we can’t expect everyone to be like today’s emperor.
After all, these are noble people from Tianhuang, and their temperaments are very different from ordinary people.
Prince Gui is a bit cowardly in temperament, but it is precisely because of this that he is easy to control.
Isn't this the reason why Qu Shichun chose King Gui in the first place?
Qu Shichun was not willing to be just a governor of Guangxi.
If he wanted to go further, he must achieve great achievements.
There is no greater merit than support.
As the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shichun naturally had to choose the vassal king he wanted to support from Guangxi.
When it comes to the vassal kings of Guangxi, besides King Gui, the only one is King Jingjiang.
However, the status of King Jingjiang was obviously not as noble as that of King Gui.
In the end, Qu Shichu chose King Gui.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Youlang is the first to get the moon near the water and the tower.
Now that you've made your bet, you can't regret it.
Qu Shishu had no other choice but to put King Gui on the throne.
If he fails, not only he but also his family will be in danger.
No regrets when you make a move, let’s see who is the winner in this game of chess.
Zheng Zhilong tapped his fingers lightly with a somewhat indifferent expression.
He had just read the autographed letter sent by King Gui.
This guy really regarded himself as an emperor.
He spoke in a commanding tone throughout the whole article, which made Zheng Zhilong very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for Dorgon's edict, Zheng Zhilong really didn't intend to continue to cooperate with this vassal king.
Previously, he sent private soldiers disguised as Japanese pirates to harass Zhejiang just to create space for King Gui.
But it seems that King Gui is no longer satisfied with this.
He wants to ask Zheng Zhilong to send troops directly.
There is an essential difference between the two.

The former pretends to be a Japanese pirate, so the responsibility can be placed on the Japanese pirates.
But if the troops are sent as the army or navy, there is no room for change.
Although Zheng Zhilong has already surrendered, this news has not been announced within the Zheng family.
In other words, Zheng Zhilong has been concealing the surrender to the Qing Dynasty because he was afraid that there would be too many people in the family who opposed it.
If he openly used troops against the imperial court this time, people in the family would definitely ask why Zheng Zhilong did this.
Could it be that Zheng Zhilong wants to tell the truth and say that he has surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and wants to fight for the Qing emperor?
It would be too far-fetched to use King Gui's reason.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is a lie made by King Gui to slander the emperor in order to fight for the throne.
People in the Zheng family will not be able to see that.
As for Qingjun's side, it's even less reliable.
The current emperor is both civil and military and is a rare wise king.
Which kind of king is it clear about?
After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong still felt that this reason was difficult to find.
Therefore, he has been delaying and has not really raised his troops.
But now King Gui has raised his troops and sent a personal letter asking Zheng Zhilong to raise his troops immediately.
If Zheng Zhilong refuses, wouldn't he immediately break up with King Gui?
This is what Dorgon, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, did not want to see.
Now King Gui has marched towards Guangdong and will meet up with Ding Kuichu soon.
It would be unreasonable if Zheng Zhilong didn't say anything anymore.
"Hey, it's really difficult."
Zheng Zhilong sighed and decided to hold an internal meeting within the family to discuss the matter.
This matter can't be put off any longer, so let's just do it
