Chapter 461: To Each His Heart
Guiwang Zhu Youlang was dressed in military uniform, riding on a high-headed horse with a red date, holding the reins with one hand and looking into the distance.
He had been planning carefully for nearly a year, but when he really started the army, the excitement in his heart was still indescribable.
Behind him, countless armor soldiers were majestic, high-spirited, and full of fighting spirit.
In front of him is a splendid country and thousands of people.
Zhu Youlang only felt that his chest was about to open.
I think that Chengzu was probably in this mood when he raised troops and was in trouble, right?
It's just that when Chengzu raised the army, there were very few people around him who could be used, and he Zhu Youlang had the support of the Liangguang General Army, the Guangxi Governor and even the Fujian General Army.
As long as he gives an order, 100,000 tigers can die for him.
It's a really refreshing feeling of giving orders.
No wonder everyone wants to be emperor. The feeling of dominating the world and dominating the fate of the world is truly incomparable.
Qu Shiyun, the governor of Guangxi, rode a green horse behind Zhu Youlang half of his body.
His lips opened lightly and he said in a harmonious voice: "Your Highness, further forward is the junction of the two Guangzhous, and Ding Kuichu will greet His Highness there." ”
Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Very good." After we enter Guangzhou, we can let Zheng Zhilong also send troops to attack. He can't just talk and do nothing. ”
Of Zhu Youlang's three supporters, Qu Shiyun must be the most loyal and reliable.
This person was the first to support Zhu Youlang, whether it was Ding Kuichu or Zheng Zhilong, they were all Qu Shiyun matchmakers, and Zhu Youlang was able to get in touch.
If there was no Qu Shiyun, Zhu Youlang would not have been able to raise troops at all.
In comparison, Ding Kuichu is quite reliable.
After all, Ding Kuichu had already agreed to Zhu Youlang to go to Guangzhou.
Leaving the fiefdom without permission was considered a great crime of complicity, let alone befriending the governor.
Ding Kuichu's attitude shows that he has completely stood on Zhu Youlang's side.
Only Zheng Zhilong is a little unpredictable. He was obviously willing to send his subordinates to pretend to be Japanese to attack the southeast and cause trouble for the imperial court, but he was unwilling to send troops directly.
No matter how he opened the bow and didn't turn back, Zhu Youlang knew very well what it meant to take this step.
He spread rumors that today's son is not the bloodline of the Liehuang Emperor, and he wants to shake and demagogue.
If it fails, it will not only be the removal of the prince, but also the extermination of the family.
So he can't fail.
This battle can only be won, not lost.
"Mr. Qu thinks it's better for this king to stay in Guangzhou or to go to the front with the soldiers?"
Qu Shiyun was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "How can the prince and the daughter of the prince be in danger easily, it is better to stay in Guangzhou City and dispatch in the middle." ”
Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this.
What he was waiting for was Qu Shiyun's words. Some things are not good for him to say in person, but when they come out of the mouths of his courtiers, the meaning is completely different.
Naturally, he wanted to stay in the city of Guangzhou. Guangzhou is one of the southeast centers, and the degree of prosperity is far from comparable to that of Wuzhou.
Zhu Youlang has been pampered since he was a child, and he can't suffer much. So, of course, he didn't want to live in a barracks for a long time, especially in a dangerous place like the front line.
He was glad that the soldiers were working for him, but it was absolutely impossible for him to live in the barracks in order to boost his morale.
There are no eyes on the battlefield, what if any of the arrows hurt him?
He went to Guangdong mainly for two reasons.
One is to completely pull Ding Kuichu to his side.
After all, Ding Kuichu only verbally promised to support Zhu Youlang before, and did not take any substantive action.
And verbal promises are undoubtedly the most unreliable.
In order to force Ding Kuichu to express his position, Zhu Youlang resolutely decided to go to Guangdong.
Second, he wanted Ding Kuichu to feel at ease.
After all, if Zhu Youlang has been staying in Guangxi, it is equivalent to Qu Shiyun's territory.
This kind of thing has to take a great risk, and if the benefits are insufficient, it will not be a 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 him in Ding Kuichu's territory.
Since he came to Guangdong with these two purposes, Zhu Youlang naturally did not need to go to the front line, just stay comfortably in the city of Guangzhou.
He came to be blessed, not to suffer.
Which prince has you seen in the world eat and live with the big-headed soldiers?
Qu Shiyun saw Zhu Youlang's face with joy, but his heart sank.
The prince is still less responsible.
It is said that the Son of Heaven in the Forbidden City once drove a personal expedition and beat drums at the head of the city.
Compared to this, King Gui was much less daring.
But we can't expect everyone to be what we are today. After all, these are all nobles, and their temperament is extraordinary.
King Gui is a little cowardly, but it is also easy to control because of this.
Isn't this the reason why Qu Shiyun chose King Gui in the first place?
Qu Shiyun is unwilling to be only a governor of Guangxi, and if he wants to go further, he must make great contributions.
There is no greater credit than support.
As the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shiyun naturally had to choose the vassal king he wanted to support from Guangxi.
If you talk about the vassal kings of Guangxi, except for King Gui, he is the king of Jingjiang.
But the identity of King Jingjiang is obviously not as noble as King Gui, and in the end, Qu Shiyun chose King Gui.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Youlang is close to the water.
Since you have already placed a bet, you can't go back.
Qu Shiyun had no choice but to put King Gui on the throne.
If he fails, not only him, but also his family will have to recover.
If you have no regrets, let's see who is the winner in this game of chess.
...
...
Zheng Zhilong tapped his fingers lightly, looking a little indifferent.
He had just finished reading the handwritten letter sent by King Gui.
Does this guy really think of himself as an emperor? The tone of command throughout the article made Zheng Zhilong very uncomfortable.
If it weren't for Dolgon's order, Zheng Zhilong really didn't plan to continue to cooperate with this vassal king.
Before, he sent private soldiers to attack Zhejiang in the guise of Japanese invaders, just to create space for King Gui.
It seems that King Gui's meaning is no longer satisfied with this, and he wants Zheng Zhilong to send troops directly.
There is an essential difference between the two.
The former pretends to be a wolf, so you can put the blame on the wolf.
But if it is sent as an army or a sailor, there is no room for turnaround.
Although Zheng Zhilong has already surrendered, the news has not been announced within the Zheng family.
In other words, Zheng Zhilong has always concealed the matter of descending the Qing, 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, the people in the family would definitely question why Zheng Zhilong did this.
Could it be that Zheng Zhilong wants to tell the truth, saying 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 King Gui's nonsense to slander the Son of Heaven in order to compete for the throne, and the Zheng family will not be able to see it?
As for the Qingjun side, it is even more unreliable.
Today's emperor has both civil and military skills, and is a rare emperor. Which gentleman is clear?
After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong still felt that this reason was not easy to find.
So he has been dragging his feet and has not really raised troops.
But now King Gui has raised troops, and sent someone to send a handwritten letter asking Zheng Zhilong to raise troops immediately.
If Zheng Zhilong didn't allow it, wouldn't he tear his face directly with King Gui?
This is what the regent of the Qing court, Dorgon, does not want to see.
Now King Gui has marched to Guangdong, and he will be able to join Ding Kuichu in a few days. If Zheng Zhilong didn't say it again, he would be a little too much to say.
"Oh, that's hard."
Zheng Zhilong sighed and decided to convene an internal meeting within the family to discuss the matter.
This matter can't be delayed, so let's just do it.
