Chapter 408: The Emperor is Ruthless
saved Zhu Yujian, and there was no Zhu Yujian's younger brother who ascended the throne in Guangzhou, and he died in more than a month.
At least Zhu Yujian's throne in the south is already known to everyone, and he still has a good reputation among the people and has a certain appeal.
In this way, it will win the conditions and time for Zheng Chenggong to grow.
As long as Zheng Cheng's function is as strong as in history, then he can prepare for the recovery of Shaoxing.
At that time, Fujian and Zhejiang will be connected, and their backs will be safe.
With this consideration, Wu Zhengcai did not order the withdrawal, but set the landing place in Quanzhou, with the intention of carrying out rescue on Zhu Yujian's southern retreat road to avoid the tragedy of Zhu Yujian's Qing army being captured and the Long Arms Dynasty being destroyed.
But now, Huang Daozhou insisted that it was wrong to land in Quanzhou, and the reason he said also made Wu Zheng excited.
Half a month has passed since the fall of Jianyang, and it stands to reason that Fujing Jianning should have been lost at this time, and if Zhu Yujian has been captured, then there is no need to say anything. Therefore, it can only be dealt with when Zhu Yujian has retreated and has not been captured.
At this time, Wu Zheng was annoyed that the information of this era was slow, and all the news came very slowly, and it was difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
Which path will Zhu Yujian choose?
According to the original information, Zhu Yujian was bent on fighting back, and if he wanted to go to Ganzhou, then he should go west.
Seeing Huang Dao Zhou rushing to kneel down by himself, Wu Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Huang, what are you doing?" Hurry up, and know that it is ...... In your opinion, where will Emperor Longwu retreat, and where should our army land? ”
Huang Daozhou wiped away his old tears, got up, pointed to the map, and said, "Fuzhou Port." ”
……。
Don't say it, this pair of monarchs and ministers really know each other.
Zhu Yujian did withdraw to Fuzhou.
But Zhu Yujian was in a hurry, and he made a stupid move, and he led Fuzhou to only have thousands of Ming troops, and went out of the city to the west again.
This is looking for death!
finally arrived in Yanping, and at this time Li Chengdong's army was already close at hand.
The way forward was blocked, and Zhu Yujian could only choose to escape.
But at this time, history took a turn.
Originally, he wanted to flee south, and he also wanted to go to Tingzhou and then divert to Jiangxi.
But Zhu Yujian was still thinking about the Zodiac Zhou in his heart, and he was still looking forward to the Zodiac Zhou bringing reinforcements.
It was this idea that made Zhu Yujian order to withdraw to Fuzhou first.
But Li Chengdong's Qing army, which got Zheng Zhilong's information, pursued the soldiers like maggots attached to it.
If you say flee, run away, victory or defeat is a common thing in the royal family, and the most important thing is to save your life.
But Zhu Yujian carried ten carts of books with him, and he was reluctant to throw them away, slowing down the speed of the retreat and march for no reason.
When approaching twenty miles to Fuzhou City, Zhu Yujian and his party were bitten by Li Chengdong's forward.
The thousands of Ming troops led by Zhu Yujian have been exhausted along the way.
In addition to the queen, concubines and his son who is less than a month, there are only a hundred people such as the general Xiong Weidu and the general Zhou Zhifan.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhou Zhifan and Xiong Weidu resolutely stayed behind as Zhu Yujian's palace, hoping to drag the Qing army's pursuers so that Zhu Yujian could escape into Fuzhou City.
After a fight, Zhou Zhifan killed several Qing soldiers, was shot by the Qing army with several arrows.
After the general Xiong Weidu killed more than a dozen people, he was also shot in the throat by an arrow from the Qing army and died.
It was the two of them who led the crowd to block the attack, and Zhu Yujian and his party had time to approach the gate of Fuzhou.
But the problem is that Zhu Yujian didn't know at all, because Zheng Zhilong changed his flag and changed his banner, and the defenders of Fuzhou City had already been cleared.
As soon as Zhu Yujian entered the city, he was captured by the defenders, and it can be said that he entered the wolf's den as soon as he came out of the tiger's mouth.
The fall of the Longwu Dynasty has been decided.
That night, Li Chengdong's forward led Nushan to Fuzhou City.
Knowing that Zhu Yujian had been captured, he was overjoyed, and decided to escort Zhu Yujian across the sea to the north and send him to Shuntianfu on the spot.
In the early morning of the next day, 600 Qing troops escorted several small sedan chairs out of the city gate of Fuzhou.
Halfway through, when the Qing army stopped to rest.
Empress Zeng suddenly jumped out of the sedan chair and cried, Your Majesty should be martyred, and the concubine went first.
Dodged past the Qing army guards, rushed straight to the cliff on the side of the road, and wanted to kill himself by pulling the cliff.
The incident was in a hurry, and the Qing soldiers couldn't stop it, so they could only hold down Zhu Yu's key.
Zhu Yujian's eyes were cracked, and he watched Empress Zeng rush to the edge of the cliff.
At this time, countless cavalry suddenly appeared on the official road like heavenly soldiers and generals.
With the momentum of the wind and remnant clouds, it roared.
Suddenly, the Qing soldiers couldn't cope at all, and they abandoned their weapons and fled, and those who fled slowly were cut off by the cavalry in the blink of an eye.
The Qing soldiers who pressed Zhu Yujian didn't even have time to stand up and threaten Zhu Yujian, and they were pierced through the chest by two arrows, and they were killed.
Empress Zeng was bent on dying, and she had no intention of paying attention to the changes behind her.
A few steps away from the cliff, a rider quickly interspersed and cut off her castration.
Queen Zeng couldn't stop, hit her head in the belly of the war horse, and was picked up by the knight on the horse and held under her armpit.
Zhu Yujian looked at the changes in front of him in horror, and he was a little stunned.
Until Huang Daozhou knelt in front of him, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the old minister is late to save the driver, and I hope Your Majesty will surrender his guilt. ”
The two monarchs and ministers raised their heads and wept bitterly, unable to stop crying for a long time.
On the occasion of life and death, there is such a reunion, which can be said to be fateful.
Zhu Yujian, who couldn't stop crying, suddenly thought of Empress Zeng, pushed away the zodiac Zhou, got up with a "puff", and looked at the edge of the cliff.
At this time, Wu Zheng had already arrived and gently lowered Queen Zeng under his armpit.
Jumped off the horse, hugged his fists and saluted: "Qingtai Dynasty Zhenguo Gong pays a greeting to His Majesty the Emperor of the Longwu Dynasty." ”
Zhu Yujian looked back at Huang Daozhou in astonishment.
Huang Daozhou wiped away his old tears and hurriedly introduced: "Your Majesty, Princess Changping has been in charge of the country in Yingtianfu, changed to Yuan Qingtai, this is the prince of Qingtai Dynasty, and it was he who recovered Yingtianfu. ”
Only then did Zhu Yujian come back to his senses, and excitedly stepped forward to hold Wu Zheng's hand with both hands and said: "Zhenguo Gong is actually a young hero, saving me and the queen today, and I will definitely have a heavy reward in the future...... It's a pity that there are traitors around me, and there is a lack of loyal ministers and good generals like Zhenguo Gong. ”
The more Wu Zheng listens to it, the more he doesn't taste it, at such a critical moment, dare you still want to dig into the corner?
When life and death are at stake, Empress Zeng and her daughters can die and be martyred, but you, an emperor, do not move at all.
This made Wu Zheng's impression of Zhu Yujian deteriorate rapidly.
"Your Majesty, this is not the place to speak, most of the Qing soldiers who escorted Your Majesty escaped, in case the main force of the Qing army heard the news and rushed over, they would not be able to leave." Wu Zheng couldn't break free of Zhu Yujian's hands and said.
Hearing this, Zhu Yujian quickly let go and said: "What Zhen Guogong said is very true, hurry up, stay in a safe place, and then talk to Guogong in detail." ”
After speaking, he actually got into the sedan chair by himself, ignoring Queen Zeng who had just escaped from the brink of death behind him.
The emperor of the capital is ruthless, doesn't he even care about his own queen?
