Chapter 209: To Weihaiwei
With Zhu Hao's order issued, the five thousand soldiers were ready to go after half an hour, Zhang Qianhu heard that Zhu Hao and his party were leaving, and hurriedly came to see Zhu Hao and said:
"Your Highness, the method you said yesterday, the last general will think about it, it really won't work!"
"I hope Your Highness will think twice, stop as soon as possible, and don't take such a risk!"
Zhang Qianhu originally didn't want to care about Zhu Hao's life or death, but last night, as the receptionist, he received the five thousand soldiers of Longhuwei, and he had a good impression of these people, he couldn't bear to let these five thousand people be blindly commanded by Zhu Hao and buried in Liaodong, so today he will come over to dissuade Zhu Hao again.
After listening to Zhang Qianhu's words, Zhu Hao shook his head slightly and said:
"It is the king's responsibility to protect the land and the people!"
"Zhang Qianhu doesn't have to be persuased!"
"The king has made up his mind!"
After saying that, Zhu Hao didn't say more, turned around and walked out of the room, and went to Weihaiwei with five thousand soldiers.
"Qi Qi Qianhu, His Royal Highness King Xin, they have already left!"
Zhang Qianhu was reluctant for a long time when he heard this, sighed after a while, and said secretly: "Pity those five thousand soldiers!" ”
When Zhang Qianhu was sighing in his heart, he listened to the soldier who reported and continued:
"Qianhu, His Royal Highness King Xin, did not go out of the customs, but turned back!"
Zhang Qianhu listened to the soldier's report, and said in surprise:
"What?"
"Turned back?"
"Are you sure you read that right?"
The soldier didn't know why his own thousand households were so excited, but he still nodded honestly and said:
"If you go back to a thousand households, the little one has seen it with his own eyes, and he is not mistaken!"
"King Xin, he did turn back, and he didn't get out!"
After Zhang Qianhu finished speaking, he sneered and snorted:
"This letter king is really special to blow!"
"Why don't you want to attack Hetuala!"
"Why didn't he say he could kill Nurhachi?"
"Bad Lao Tzu worried about no one all night!"
After Zhang Qianhu counted down Zhu Hao, he said to the soldier:
"Go and send a message to my uncle, saying that the king has returned!"
"So he doesn't have to worry about it!"
When the soldier heard this, he hurriedly responded, and then spoke:
"Please write a letter! The small one brings Yuan Jingluo! ”
"Otherwise, Yuan Jingluo wouldn't believe the words of the pawn!"
Zhang Qianhu nodded when he heard this, then walked to the table and began to write a letter to his family.
Zhu Hao, who had been marching for nearly 100 miles at this moment, didn't know that Zhang Qianhu, who received them last night, turned out to be the nephew of Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, and their party was all under Yuan Yingtai's surveillance.
Two days after Zhu Hao's march, Wei Xiaobao finally brought Zheng Zhilong's news, saying that Zheng Zhilong's fleet was operating in the waters near Weihaiwei, but Weihaiwei was guarded by officials and soldiers, and they did not dare to approach.
After Zhu Hao listened to Wei Xiaobao's report, he sent someone again to urge Xie Gang to quickly coordinate with various ministries and deliver the official document that took over Weihaiwei to him within three days.
At the same time, Zhu Hao ordered to speed up the march again, he was ready, if Xie Gang's side fell off the chain, he would take over Weihaiwei as the king of Thaksin, although Weihaiwei is a guard, but because the imperial court has not engaged in maritime activities for a long time, its guards are more than 2,000 people, and they are all negligent in training.
With Zhu Hao's current strength, he is fully capable of forcibly taking over Weihaiwei.
After Zhu Hao marched quickly for two days, he could see Weihaiwei in the distance, and the soldiers who went to the capital to urge Xie Gang also rushed back at this time to report, and the soldiers told Zhu Hao that he had no way to take over Weihaiwei in a short time.
Because Xie Gang was hit by the double blow of the Donglin Party and Wei Zhongxian, he basically has no say in the Left Army Governor's Mansion now.
Zhu Hao listened to the soldier's report, and couldn't help but scold Xie Gang for being incompetent, but Zhu Hao himself knew that let alone scolding Xie Gang now, even if he killed Xie Gang now, it was meaningless, and it couldn't solve the current problem at all.
Zhu Hao was riding on a horse, his eyes were a little gloomy, he looked around at everyone, and then said:
"Who is willing to send an order to Wei Haiwei for this king?"
"Tell them that this king is going to take over Weihaiwei?"
As soon as Zhu Hao's words came out, Guan Yu stepped forward, holding the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand, and hugged Zhu Hao on the horse and said:
"Guan Mou is willing to go!"
Zhu Hao looked at Guan Yu, shook his head slightly, and said:
"Although General Guan is brave, Wei Haiwei is my Ming soldier after all, and it would be best if he could take over peacefully!"
"Guan Shen will have too strong a temperament, it's not suitable for you to go!"
After Zhu Hao denied Guan Yu, Xu Chu stepped forward again and said, "A certain family is willing to go!" ”
Hearing this, Zhu Hao shook his head again, and then said:
"General Xu, you are not good at words, I am afraid that if you go, it will cause misunderstanding, and you are not suitable!"
Zhu Hao glanced at Cheng Yanjin as he spoke, and then said:
"According to this king, this matter, Vice General Cheng will do it, it is the most appropriate!"
"I don't know if Vice General Cheng is willing to share his worries for this king?"
When Zhu Hao looked at him, Cheng Yanjin instinctively shrank his neck and stepped back, he was 10,000 unwilling to give orders, he knew that this was not a good task, this was a task that would lose his life if he didn't do it well.
The reason why Cheng Yanjin thinks so is because Cheng Yanjin understands that Zhu Hao asked them to pass the order, naturally he would not let them bring too many soldiers and horses, if the soldiers of Weihaiwei do not agree with Zhu Hao to take over Weihaiwei, then the person who went to give the order may not have a good result.
Although Cheng Yanjin was 10,000 unwilling in his heart, but at this moment, Zhu Hao called his name, and he also knew that he had no way to retreat, so he said with a bitter face:
"This, this, Your Highness, my old Cheng is naturally willing to share worries for His Highness!"
"But my old Cheng is so slight, I'm afraid I can't stop Weihaiwei's soldiers!"
"When the time comes, I will delay His Highness's major affairs, and I can't afford it!"
"Your Highness, depending on the general, it is more prudent to let General Xu or General Guan handle this matter!"
As soon as Zhu Hao heard Cheng Bitingjin's words, he knew that Cheng Biting Jin was deliberately prevaricating, and even clapped his hands and said:
"General Cheng, since you are willing to share the worries of this king, then this matter will be handed over to you!"
"Don't be presumptuous, this king still fully believes in your ability!"
"You take ten soldiers now and go to Weihaiwei to give orders!"
"This king is here waiting for your good news!"
Cheng Yanjin listened to Zhu Hao's words, knowing that he could no longer shirk this matter, and said with a bitter face:
"Die or die!"
"I'm old Cheng, take the order!"
Saying that, Cheng Yanjin stopped talking nonsense, so he took ten soldiers and went straight to Weihaiwei.
