|||->-> Unlike Zhu Changshu, who was born as a son of the world and had a smooth life, Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, is completely an unlucky child.

The forty-sixth year of Wanli is a key year for the Ming Dynasty to turn from prosperity to decline, in this year, Nurhachi swore an oath to heaven in the northeast, and read out the seven hatreds and hatreds of the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, there was a lot of uproar in the court because of the court attack case, and no one paid attention to the birth of a prince in Yanzhou, Shandong, in the palace of King Lu, which was Zhu Yihai, the last king of Lu.

Unlike Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, Zhu Yihai was born just a concubine, and the title of King Lu has nothing to do with him, if there is no accident, Zhu Yihai will be crowned a county king when he becomes an adult, and then go to a small county town in Shandong to spend his rich but boring life.

But the world is impermanent, when Zhu Yihai was twenty-four years old, just in time for the Qing army to enter the pass and plunder, Yanzhou was broken by the Qing army, Zhu Yihai's brother Zhu Yipai, the king of Lu'an, hanged himself, and Zhu Yihai escaped the slaughter of the Qing army by hiding in the pile of dead.

Zhu Yipai's sons all died in the chaos, and there was no one to inherit the Lu domain, so Zhu Yihai inherited the throne in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen on the way to flee and became the eleventh king of Lu.

Zhu Yihai fled to Nanjing, at this time Hongguang Emperor Zhu Yousong had ascended the throne, Zhu Yousong was not bad to this distant brother, and ordered Zhu Yihai to garrison Taizhou.

In the first year of Hongguang, the Qing army moved south, and after besieging Nanjing, it sent troops to occupy three-quarters of Nanzhili, and also occupied Huzhou and Jiaxing in Zhejiang Province.

The officials of eastern Zhejiang, who received the news of the fall of the southern capital, supported Zhu Yihai to take the throne in Shaoxing under the leadership of Zhang Guowei, the imperial history of the right capital, and Qian Sule, a member of the criminal department.

The first thing Zhu Yihai did when he became a prisoner was to order Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, who had already been in Hangzhou to revoke the title of prisoner, which was also no way, there were no two heavens and no two people, and there could only be one emperor. However, King Lu's strength was far above Zhu Yihai, and after a few battles, Zhu Yihai was defeated and could only retreat to Ningbo, his hometown, to take refuge.

Just when Zhu Yihai was about to be driven to the sea by King Lu, news came from Nanjing, it turned out that Nanjing did not fall, but was preserved under the insistence of Ma Shiying and others, and at the same time supported another emperor, Zhu Lunkui, Emperor Shaowu.

This is good, a small Nanzhili squeezed in three emperors, because Zhu Lunkui's threat was far greater than Zhu Yihai's, so Zhu Changshu shifted all his attention to the north, which gave Zhu Yihai a little respite.

But there is not much time left for Zhu Yihai, in September, news came from Hangzhou, King Lu's tens of thousands of troops did not even fight, and they had been dispersed before the Zhou Fan's army attacked the city, seeing this news Zhu Yihai's little heart pulled out the cold, King Lu was not the opponent of Zhou Fan, he only had more than 20,000 troops, and he couldn't hold out for long.

Just when Zhu Yihai was at a loss, there was finally good news from the front line, the general under King Lu, Jiaxing Bofang Guoan, retreated to Shaoxing with tens of thousands of remnants of the defeated general, in order to fight against Ma Cheng's army, Fang Guoan sent a letter to Zhu Yihai, willing to take refuge in Zhu Yihai, and jointly fight against the strong enemy Ma Cheng.

Zhu Yihai was overjoyed when he received Fang Guoan's surrender, and immediately issued an order to seal Fang Guoan as the Duke of Jingzhou, and at the same time sent another of his generals, Marquis Wu Ning, and Wang Zhiren, the chief soldier of Dinghai, to Shaoxing with only 20,000 elite soldiers, and he must block Ma Cheng's army north of Shaoxing.

Zhu Yihai thought that the arrangement was foolproof

A loss, but he forgot that Fang Guoan was originally a defeated general under Ma Cheng, and the tens of thousands of soldiers under him were all frightened birds, where could he be Ma Cheng's opponent? As for Zhu Yihai's favorite general Wang Zhiren, he was still a defeated general under Fang Guoan, and he fled in embarrassment by Fang Guoan, and the loss of Shaoxing was Wang Zhiren's main responsibility.

On the contrary, Ma Cheng's morale is at its peak, and with effective logistical support, Ma Cheng's new army's combat effectiveness remains at its peak. Therefore, Ma Cheng only repaired in Hangzhou for three days, then crossed the Qiantang River with all his troops and began to pursue Fang Guoan.

Fang Guoan, who arrived in Shaoxing, originally wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but at this time, Zhu Yihai's reinforcements had also arrived, and Fang Guoan wanted to stop Ma Cheng here in Shaoxing. But what disappointed Fang Guoan was that no matter his own army or Zhu Yihai's reinforcements, when he saw Ma Cheng's banner, the birds and beasts immediately dispersed, and he no longer had the courage to fight.

Seeing this, Fang Guoan had no choice but to retreat again and again with his army, from Shaoxing to the periphery of Ningbo.

The battle has reached this point, and it is already a matter of time when this Ningbo city will be captured. The small court of King Lu in the city was at a loss, and everyone didn't know what to do.

Zhu Yihai saw that everyone didn't speak, so he could only ask Zhang Huangyan, the Hanlin cultivator: "Xuanzhu, what do you say you should do now?" There are more than 20,000 horses outside our city, can they be Ma Cheng's opponents? ”

Zhang Huangyan was born in the Zhang family in Ningbo, and Zhu Yihai's concubine is also a member of the Zhang family in Ningbo, so Zhang Huangyan is Zhu Yihai's brother-in-law. With this relationship, Zhang Huangyan didn't shy away from anything, but said directly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should go overseas!" Zhou Shun's naval force is not strong, but we will first settle in Dinghai, and then go south to Liangguang, where the population is dense, we can recruit troops to buy horses and make a comeback! ”

Zhang Guowei, a scholar of Dongge University, heard Zhang Huangyan say this, and quickly stood up to stop him: "Your Majesty, by all means! Zhejiang to Guangdong thousands of miles, but also through Fujian, where is the Zheng family's territory, now the Zheng family has taken refuge in the Tang Dynasty, in case it is not good for His Majesty, what can I do? ”

Tang Wang is Zhu Yujian, this guy spent the first twenty years in prison, and Zhu Yousong released this guy after becoming emperor. Then Nanzhili was occupied by the Qing army, and after learning that Zhu Yousong was killed, the pirate Zheng Zhilong also had the idea of supporting the emperor, but he was too far away from Zhu Yihai, the king of Lu, and had no choice but to choose Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang in Quzhou, Zhejiang, and took the throne in Fuzhou.

Because Zhu Yujian has the support of the Zheng family, his strength is far greater than that of Zhu Yihai, and at the same time, the Zheng family's navy is the first in East Asia, and it is indeed a little unsafe to go through Fujian to Guangdong.

Zhu Yihai was also very hesitant when he heard Zhang Guowei say this, but if he stayed in Ningbo, he would be Zhu Lunkui's prisoner, and how Zhu Changshu, the king of Lu, died, was vivid, and Zhu Yihai didn't want to be Zhu Changshu's second. Thinking of this, Zhu Yihai made up his mind, so he went to Guangdong, and it was better to die at sea than to die in the hands of Zhu Lunkui.

After Zhu Yihai made up his mind, he immediately took advantage of the fact that Ma Cheng's army was still in Shangyu, and immediately retreated to Dinghai with his wife and children and the ministers of the DPRK and China, and boarded a ship here to go to the Zhoushan Islands, which are separated by a river from Zhejiang.

The news of Zhu Yihai's escape reached the Fang Guoan army outside Ningbo City, Fang Guoan sighed after knowing it, he was really an unlucky ghost, he failed with King Lu, this time he still failed with King Lu, what should he do next?

It was at this time that Fang Guoan's son

Fang Shiji hurriedly walked in from the outside, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he shouted, "Daddy, daddy!" Wang Zhiren ran away with his people! ”

Fang Shiji walked into the big tent while shouting, and was stunned when he saw his old son Fang Guoan, Fang Shiji stepped forward to take the letter in Fang Guoan's hand, and said angrily: "Dad, this Zhu Yihai is not a thing, why didn't he say hello first when he ran away?" That Wang Zhiren must have gotten the news first, so he quietly led people away! Now only the two of us are left, what can we do? ”

Fang Guo calmed down and asked, "Where did Wang Zhiren go?" ”

There are still more than 10,000 people under Wang Zhiren, and Zhu Yihai's ships are limited, so it is impossible to transport more than 10,000 people to Zhoushan, and this Wang Zhiren must have run south.

"Dad, I don't know where I went, but it looks like I ran to Taizhou!"

After hearing this, Fang Guoan smiled bitterly: "Running to Taizhou? It's all mountainous areas over there, and Wang Zhiren probably wants to hide in the mountainous areas of southern Zhejiang. But even if he can avoid Ma Cheng, what should he do next? More than 10,000 people are not enough to stuff Ma Cheng's teeth, what kind of storm do you want to make? ”

Although Fang Guoan has lost Wang Zhiren, his current situation is not as good as Wang Zhiren. After several battles, only a few thousand people remained of the army that Fang Guoan brought out from Hangzhou, and the others either died or ran away.

Fang Shiji was also very depressed when he heard Fang Guoan say this, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, now we still have more than 6,000 people in our hands, what should we do next?" ”

Fang Guoan patted his son's shoulder and said: "Your son is from Zhuji, Zhejiang, and has been fighting horses in Henan and other places all his life, and this battle is also tiring, and my father doesn't want your brothers to be displaced in such a turbulent way, so my father decided to surrender Ma Cheng!" ”

Fang Shiji was in a hurry when he heard Fang Guoan say this, and hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, we have fought countless battles with Ma Cheng, and many of his men have died in the hands of our father and son, can Ma Cheng let us go now if he surrenders?" ”

Fang Shiji looked around after speaking, and then said in a low voice: "Also, my son heard that this Ma Cheng Jackal is true colors, and it must be Cao Cao, Sima Yi and others in the future, let's take refuge in the past, it is naturally easy to say that he will succeed in the future, but what if it doesn't work?" Our father and son can't get it to hurt the pond fish! ”

"Boss, you see that Ma Cheng has a heart of disobedience, but you don't see how strong Ma Cheng's army is in combat, as long as Ma Cheng doesn't make mistakes, my father estimates that this world will definitely be Ma Cheng's in the future!"

Fang Shiji is Fang Guoan's son, he saw that his son had made up his mind to surrender Ma Cheng, where was there anything to say, so he had to abide by his father's wishes and send a messenger to Shangyu to communicate with Ma Cheng.

At the same time, now that the big and small officials in Ningbo City have run away, it has completely become a chaotic place, Fang Guoan sent a thousand soldiers to Ningbo, restored the law and order in Ningbo, and then waited here for Ma Cheng's arrival.

Three days later, Ma Cheng's army came to the periphery of Ningbo, and Fang Guoan, who had already received the news, took his son Fang Shiji and several deputy generals under his command, changed into criminal clothes, and knelt outside Ningbo to welcome Ma Cheng.

Fang Guoan saw a general riding a horse in front of him, this general was very young, only in his twenties, but very majestic, Fang Guoan knew that this was the legendary Ma Cheng. Fang Guoan didn't dare to hesitate, kowtowed, and said: "The guilty Fang Guoan greets the general!" ”
