Outside the city of Guangzhou, Li Dingguo, Qu Shiyun and others thought that a vicious battle was indispensable to defeat Zhao Ming and relieve the siege of Guangzhou.didn't want to, just after fighting the Han army once, Zhao Ming withdrew from the siege of Guangzhou, and almost bloodlessly relieved the siege of Guangzhou.This made the Ming army in Liangguang a little unable to react for a while, and when they came to their senses, the Han army had arrived in Chaozhou.This time to repel Zhao Ming, Qu Shiyun made great contributions, but Zhu Yuyi did not treat Qu Shiyun very much.Because before, Zhu Yuyi asked for help several times, but Qu Shiyun refused to send troops, and also said that it would be better to end up in Guangzhou than to end it together.Is this the attitude of a courtier?
Isn't it a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, and you have to come to the rescue resolutely?
The leader was surrounded and didn't come to the rescue, although Qu Shiyun's approach at that time was very correct, but Zhu Yuyi was still very uncomfortable in his heart.Moreover, Qu Shiyun is a member of the Donglin Party and supports Gui politically, so he doesn't like Zhu Yuyi.However, Zhu Yuyi still attaches great importance to Li Dingguo, who rushed to support.In Guangzhou City, in the mansion of the King of Yue, Zhu Yuyi met Li Dingguo, Qu Shiyun and others in the main hall, and everyone sat at a table, and the atmosphere was naturally harmonious.At this time, Zhu Yuyi personally greeted the two of them to eat the food of Guangzhou, and said with a smile: "This time Guangzhou broke the siege, General Li made great contributions, and the lone king should report to the emperor and greatly reward General Li." ”Qu Shiyun on the side did not speak, and Li Dingguo said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, although the Zhao thief has retreated now, his strength has not been damaged.I thought that the most important thing at the moment was to defeat the Zhao thief, and then march north to help the war and put down the rebellion. ”The Western Army had submitted to Longwu, but only Sun Kewang accepted the canonization of the Longwu Imperial Court, and Sun Kewang rejected Longwu's canonization of Xichuan Wenwu.Li Dingguo is a prince in the Xichuan regime, but this Longwu has not yet recognized it.Zhu Yuyi heard the words and smiled: "This is natural, but it will take time for the Lone King to rectify his troops." ”Li Dingguo then said: "Your Highness, I led 50,000 soldiers to wade through mountains and rivers from Yunnan, and now there is a shortage of supplies, please ask Your Highness to help!"
”Zhu Yuyi was not ambiguous, the Western Army came thousands of miles to relieve the siege, so naturally the Western Army brothers could not be left without food."
The lonely king allocated 50,000 stone of grain and 200,000 taels of silver to reward the soldiers of the Western Army!"
Zhu Yuyi immediately said.Li Dingguo was overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you Your Highness for this!"
”Zhu Yuqi said: "The king has thanked General Li!"
”The atmosphere between the two was warm, but Qu Shiyun on the side suddenly interjected: "Your Highness, Guangxi is not as good as Guangdong, the land is barren, and the toast is everywhere.In order to rescue Guangzhou this time, Xia Guan used up the money and grain in the government treasury.This time, wolf soldiers were dispatched to help, and the lower officials made many promises to many toasts.Now that the lower officials can't cash in, since the siege of Guangzhou has been lifted, I also ask His Royal Highness to allocate a sum of money and grain, and the lower officials will settle the accounts!
”Li Dingguo was a reinforcement sent by Qu Shiyun several times, and Zhu Yuyi only commended and admired Li Dingguo, and never said a word to him from beginning to end, which made Qu Shiyun feel uncomfortable.Zhu Yuyi frowned, put down his chopsticks, and said a little unhappily: "How much?"
”Qu Shiyun said: "One hundred thousand taels is enough!"
”Zhu Yu said in a stunned voice: "Qu Fujun, do you know that the imperial court is now officially using silver."
If you take some local soldiers and walk around the city of Guangzhou, you will collect 100,000 taels?
”This is a conscience, Qu Shiyun was also angry, and said in a sullen voice: "The Western Army came all the way, passing through various provinces in Guangxi along the way, and it was also the food arranged by the lower officials, and the wolf soldiers went to Guangdong to fight with Zhao thieves, what is it called to slip around."
Your Highness said this, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will be cold?
”Zhu Yuyi's face was gloomy, and he said half-loudly: "At most, 80,000 taels, you go to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, and say that Gu said, 50,000 will be given to you in Guangxi." ”This time, Guangxi spent at least 500,000 taels, and it was in consideration of the need to support the imperial court that Qu Shiyun asked for 100,000, and he didn't want Zhu Yuyi to give 100,000.However, something is better than nothing, Qu Shiyun bowed his hand slightly, and did not thank him, and turned to leave.Zhu Yuyi's mood was disturbed, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Li Dingguo, and after a few more conversations, Li Dingguo took his leave and returned to the camp.The next day, early in the morning, Li Dingguo entered the city of Guangzhou, preparing to fulfill Zhu Yuyi's promise.He came all the way to the yamen of the Liangguang Governor's Mansion, but saw that Qu Shiyun happened to be there."
Qu Fujun is also here to ask for salary!"
Li Dingguo smiled.Qu Shiyun nodded and didn't say anything more to Li Dingguo.The two came to the governor's yamen one after the other, one was the governor of Guangxi, and the other was the leader of the Western Army, but they were blocked by the officers and soldiers of the yamen of the governor's palace."
Two adults, it's really not a coincidence, the governor is not in the ya."
Qu Shiyun said: "I wasn't there yesterday, and I won't be there today?"
Don't give this official this set!
”Yesterday when he came out of the Yuewang Mansion, Qu Shiyun came to the Governor's Mansion to pay money, but he was blocked out of the mansion, saying that the Governor Ding Kuichu was not in the yamen, but when he returned to the camp, he learned from the old place in the city that Ding Kuichu was in the mansion.After Qu Shiyun finished speaking, he went directly inside, and Li Dingguo also followed him inside.Where dare the officers and soldiers of the yamen stop a governor, not to mention Li Dingguo, the two broke into the palace, Ding Kuichu was really in the yamen, playing horses with several subordinates, and there were beautiful maids waiting around.This Ding Kuichu, known for his greed for money and lust, when the Qing army entered Guangdong, he did not want to resist, but instead called the army to transport dozens of ships of property to Guangxi for him, but the action was too slow, so he could only take refuge in the Qing army.Who knew that the Qing army coveted his belongings and directly drowned him in the river.At this time, Ding Kuichu saw Qu Shiyun and Li Dingguo coming in, but he didn't turn his head, he still talked and laughed, and played cards with a few of his subordinates.Qu Shiyun held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Governor Ding, the king of Yue promised the lower officials 80,000 taels of silver, and asked the governor to allocate it, and the lower officials have urgent needs." ”The wolf soldiers are all young people in Guangxi, the people are simple, the brain is a tendon, when the war is fought, they are not afraid of death, they want to be paid, they are also a tendon, they have fought a war, and they have said that the good promises cannot be fulfilled, and they have mutinied to show you.If he couldn't get the money to appease, Qu Shiyun would not rush back to the camp.Ding Kuichu played a card and said casually: "The governor's yamen has not received the will of the king of Yue, and the governor does not know about it." ”Qu Shiyun said: "This is the promise made by the King of Yue yesterday!"
”Ding Kuichu said: "There is no evidence, this money can't be given by the governor, Qu Fujun will go to the Yuewang Mansion again and make a certificate!"
”Seeing this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but say: "Governor Ding, I am Li Dingguo of the Western Army!"
”Ding Kuichu was a little more enthusiastic, "Oh, it turned out that General Li is here!"
”Li Dingguo said: "The King of Yue promised me a sum of money and grain yesterday~" Ding Kuichu stopped his movements, groaned for a while, and then spoke: "General Li, this governor will tell you the truth!"
There are too many things to do in the governor's yamen, and there is really no money now.In this case, you go back first, and when you have it, Ben Du will let you know!"
”After speaking, Ding Kuichu continued to play the horse hanging, and his subordinates next to him stretched out his hand and asked, "Qu Fujun, General Li, please!"
