July, Guangzhou.In less than a month, the Han army took Fujian, and the military power was so strong that Guangnan was shocked.When the news reached Liangguang, Su Guansheng, a scholar and supervisor, and Zhu Yuyi, the king of Guangdong, were frightened and hurriedly strengthened the defense of Liangguang.Zhao Ming garrisoned in Zhangquan, willing to capture the two islands of Jinxia and completely solve the Zheng family's water division, but the Zheng army was vulnerable on land, but it could enter the sea, and it still had some combat power.Although with the strength of the Han Kingdom, Zhao Ming has the ability to solve the Zheng army on the two islands of Jinxia, but this will take time and will inevitably affect Zhao Ming's plan.Therefore, Zhao Ming found a gentry who was familiar with the Zheng family from Zhangquan and entrusted him to go to Xiamen to negotiate with Zheng Hongkui, intending to stabilize Zheng Hongkui, and then left an army of 50,000 to garrison Fujian, so he led an army of 100,000 into Guangdong.The Han army was defeated in Chaozhou, and Chen Bangyan's army, breaking through the Ming army's blockade, collected Chaozhou and Huizhou all the way, and approached the city of Guangzhou.In Guangzhou City, due to the news of the Han army's entry into Fujian in advance, and the Han army's garrison in Zhangquan for nearly half a month, it gave the two Guangming armies the opportunity to deploy.Zhu Yuyi, the king of Guangdong, and Su Guansheng, a scholar, brought a large number of Cantonese troops into the city of Guangzhou, and purchased a lot of firearms from the Portuguese to defend the city.At this time, Zhu Yuyi and Su Guansheng stood at the head of the city, closely paying attention to the movements of the Han army outside the city.In the past few days, the Han army has completed the preliminary preparations for the siege of the city, and gradually figured out the terrain near Guangzhou, as well as the defense of the city.Guangzhou is located in the south of the sky, and has always been very peaceful, but as the provincial capital, the city specifications are placed there.Because the Guangdong army prepared in advance, Guangzhou's city defense is now quite complete.At this time, the Cantonese soldiers were busy transporting sandbags, rolling stones, sasswood, gunpowder, shells, arrows and other materials to the city.Guangzhou is rich, and the equipment and food in the city are very sufficient, but Zhu Yuyi and Su Guansheng dare not take it lightly.Because they saw that the Han army camp outside the city was not only a stretch of military tents, a crowd of people, galloping war horses, but also a large number of heavy artillery covered by red cloth.Zhu Yuyi bit his teeth, rattled and laid a heart.As Zhu Yujian's younger brother, Zhu Yujian has a high political consciousness, and he understands that once the war is lost, what awaits him is not just as simple as being deposed as a concubine, and most of them will die inexplicably.If Zhu Yihai's Jianwu Dynasty wins, he will definitely not be able to tolerate him, the brother of Longwu, and if the Han State wins in the end, it is impossible for the people surnamed Zhu not to suffer."
Su Ge Lao, the only way to do this is to live and die with the city, and buy time for His Majesty to defeat the traitor!"
Zhu Yuyi smashed his fist into the city.Su Guansheng looked at the Han army camp outside the city, and came back to his senses when he heard the words, but said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, just guarding Guangzhou, I'm afraid it's not enough, Your Highness still needs to do something!"
”Zhu Yuyi couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"
”Su Guansheng said: "Your Majesty has a weakness, it is in Zhaoqing, and I ask the prince to remove it for Your Majesty!"
”Zhu Yuyi raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what Su Guansheng meant, "Pavilion Elder asked Gu to kill King Gui?"
”Su Guansheng shook his head, "If you kill it, you will be convinced, and it can't be like this unless it's a last resort."
However, King Gui is a lineage of the Divine Sect, and he must be in his hands, otherwise Zhao Thief will think of King Gui sooner or later!
”The Chongzhen Dynasty fell, and those who were qualified to inherit the throne were King Fu and King Gui.At the beginning, the Donglin Party was ready to support King Gui, but only because King Gui was in Guangdong and too far away from the south of the Yangtze River, they had to support King Lu to confront King Fu.After King Fu and King Lu were defeated one after another, also because of the distance, Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian successively supervised the country and became the emperor, while King Gui could only continue to be the vassal king in Liangguang.However, in terms of blood, whether it is Zhu Yihai or Zhu Yujian, they are not as close as King Gui's bloodline.If you have a heart, if you want to take advantage of this, it will be a huge threat to Longwu.Therefore, after Zhu Yuye arrived in Guangzhou, he replaced the prefect of Zhaoqing with his confidant and sent soldiers and horses to garrison Zhaoqing to monitor King Gui.Zhu Yuyi's expression was gloomy and he nodded, "Lone understands!"
”Zhaoqing Mansion.A troop of cavalry galloped in, and the haze of war had not yet spread here, and the city was still peaceful.As night fell, Zhaoqing Mansion gradually quieted down, and in the dark city, a few oil lamps were lit everywhere.On the third watch, a cavalry of more than ten people appeared outside the east city, and the leader was Liu Baojun, the head of the guards of the Yuewang Mansion, who held up a token and shouted to the city: "Ordered to enter the city and open the city gate quickly!"
”The head of the city guarded the hanging basket, Liu Baojun put the token in, and after a while, the city gate slowly opened.Liu Baojun immediately led the cavalry into the city, and the guards were already waiting inside the gate, "General Liu!"
”The guard general was also born as a guard of the Yue Palace, and he was Zhu Yuyi's henchman, Liu Baojun glanced at him, and immediately said: "Order all the people and horses, follow me!"
”The guard immediately beckoned his subordinates to assemble on the street, and Liu Baojun said to the cavalry around him: "Get off your horse and walk, don't alarm the people!"
”The sound of horses' hooves was too loud, and Liu Baojun was worried that it would alarm King Gui's Mansion and cause unnecessary trouble, so he turned over and dismounted, led the assembled two hundred soldiers, and ran on foot.Gui Fan was originally in Huguang Hengzhou, but later because Zhang Xianzhong broke through Hengzhou, he fled to Liangguang and was transferred to Zhaoqing.Liu Baojun was ordered by Zhu Yuyi to take Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui, away from Zhaoqing and escorted him into Guangzhou.Guangzhou is a big city, with a circumference of dozens of miles, and although the Han army has 100,000, it cannot encircle Guangzhou at all.To besiege Guangzhou, at least 200,000 troops are needed, otherwise the troops will be scattered and easy to be broken by each other.Now the Han army is at least stationed in the eastern suburbs, and there are no Han troops on the other three sides of Guangzhou.Zhu Yuyi ordered Liu Baojun to take him away, if he could enter Guangzhou, he would enter Guangzhou, if not, he would go to Guangxi or Huguang, and if the road was in danger and he had no choice but to kill King Gui first.King Gui is a lineage of Shenzong, and he is still very influential in the Ming Dynasty, if he is killed casually, he will definitely end his tongue and let Zhu Yihai and Zhao Ming make a fuss.Longwu has always regarded Zhu Youlang as a hidden danger, so he is relatively mean to Zhu Youlang, and he gives very little money every year, so he can only barely make ends meet.Therefore, King Gui's Mansion, as the palace of the prince, is actually just a larger house, next to a not very prosperous street in the city.At this time, Liu Baojun led the men and horses to come, and the soldiers surrounded the Guiwang Mansion, Liu Baojun asked: "Is there any movement, are the people still there?"
”"King Gui is in the mansion, and there are not many people in it."
The city gate guards the road.Liu Baojun waved his hand, and the soldiers immediately slammed open the gate of the palace, and he took a team of armor soldiers, carrying torches, and rushed directly into the palace.The palace is not big, but the courtyard of the four entrances covers an area of about ten acres.At this time, two hundred soldiers had surrounded the palace from all directions, and Liu Baojun did not have to worry about King Gui slipping away, so he swaggered in.The few eunuchs and women in the palace were frightened by the sudden change and screamed and scurried around the courtyard."
Where's King Gui?"
Liu Baojun grabbed the chest of a eunuch and asked loudly.The eunuch said in fear: "Your Highness, in the back study!"
”When Liu Baojun heard this, he pushed the eunuch to the ground, and then strode into the study, but there was no one to see."
Search!"
Liu Baojun roared angrily.The soldiers rushed in, rummaging through the cabinets, and suddenly a soldier shouted: "General, I have found it!"
”Liu Baojun walked over quickly, and saw the soldier lifting the tablecloth, and a young man in white underwear was shivering and hiding under the table."
Don't kill me!
Don't kill me!
”Zhu Youlang's face was full of fear and exclaimed.Liu Baojun stood, looking down at Zhu Youlang, enjoying the feeling of a vassal king begging him for mercy.After half a sound, Liu Baojun said coldly: "His Royal Highness King Gui, the rebels have entered Guangdong, it is not safe here, and I will be ordered to take you away!"
