Chapter 391: Southeast (Third Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)

(Today's addition, ask for a monthly pass, ask for support!!) )

"The king may wish to send someone to Tingzhou to explore the whereabouts of the prince in order to comfort the spirit of the emperor in the sky......"

The prince in Feng Chengshi's mouth is Zhu Linyuan, the only son of Emperor Longwu, only two months before Emperor Longwu was executed in Tingzhou, he died in Tingzhou, and was later posthumously named Prince Zhuang Jing, but there are also rumors that he is not dead, but was brought out by the palace maid and left in exile. This is the same as the folk rumors that Emperor Longwu is not dead, they are just folk rumors, whether they are true or not, I am afraid only God knows.

"Huh?"

Feng Chengshi's suggestion made Zheng Chenggong stunned slightly, and then his brows suddenly locked, he hadn't heard of this rumor, but could this be true?

After a moment of thought, Zheng Chenggong shook his head and said.

"Whether the bloodline of the first emperor survives in the world, it is still unknown, the most nervous thing in Fang today is to enter Guangdong, as for the bloodline of the first emperor......"

Looking up at the former palace, Zheng Chenggong, who had the voice and smile of the first emperor in his mind, said.

"It's better to leave it to him, after all, the court is still there, don't add to it!"

This sentence "do not increase right and wrong", just right to say Zheng Chenggong's thoughts, he has recognized the Yongli court, then he is the minister of Yongli, as a courtier, he naturally can not do things that are not subordinate, it is necessary to think about the bloodline of the first emperor, but if this is the case to "increase the right and wrong", then you can't do it, after all, if you really find the bloodline of the first emperor, this is related to the succession of the Ming Dynasty, when the time comes, I am afraid it will really lead to what kind of chaos.

Even in Nanjing's Hongguang Dynasty's "True and False Prince Case", in Zheng Chenggong's view, it was really necessary to cut through the chaos so quickly and call him a "pseudo-prince", and only in this way can the situation be stabilized. Zheng Chenggong naturally didn't want to make trouble on such an issue, so he naturally rejected Feng Chengshi's suggestion.

"The minister is stupid."

The king's answer made Feng Chengshi bow and plead guilty, Zheng Chenggong waved his hand disapprovingly, and then said.

"The most important thing now is to conquer Guangdong, after all, the imperial court should be about to return to the court, and when the imperial court is still in power, ......"

Before Zheng Chenggong's words fell, Chen Yonghua hurriedly entered the hall, and then reported with a serious expression.

"King, news has just come from Guangzhou, eight days ago, King Jin has arrived in Guangzhou, and he is now attacking Guangzhou......"

Before Chen Yonghua's words were finished, Zheng Chenggong, whose face suddenly changed rapidly, asked urgently.

"King Jin? That King of Jin? ”

King ...... Jin

How could he be in Guangzhou?

Not to mention Zheng Chenggong, that is, when he learned that the Ming army went up the river all the way by sea and the soldiers were approaching the city, the king of Pingnan, who was in Guangzhou City, was still full of shock, and he simply couldn't believe what he heard with his ears.

"Is it Li Dingguo? Are you indeed Li Dingguo? ”

The reason why he was so surprised was entirely because before this, he had never heard of Li Dingguo's news at all, and only knew that Li Dingguo had already left Burma under the pursuit of Wu Sangui and others, how could he suddenly arrive at the city of Guangzhou now?

Even in the past few years, unlike Wu Sangui who led the troops to pursue Yongli and Geng Jimao who wanted to move the feudal domain to rich land, Shang Zhixin was overhauling temples in Guangzhou, and as the king of Pingnan, he vigorously worshiped Buddhism. It's just that he wants to plant blessings and eliminate his soul, so as to express that he has always wanted to wash away the sin of "thirst for killing". After all, millions of Han Chinese died at his hands all the way from Liaodong to Guangzhou, and it is precisely because of this that he often holds pujas in the palace, hoping to transcend the undead, comfort the souls, and "repay" countless blood debts for the slaughter of the city.

For Shang Kexi, any military affairs are not as important as holding a festival, after all, since a few years ago, he used to be a "murderous" person, and he has nightmares every night, dreaming that countless unjust souls are covered in blood, stretching out their bone-like hands, crying: "Give me back my life." When he woke up, he was scared into a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to get rid of it, and this puja became his only support.

Now, when Li Dingguo suddenly approached the city, Shang Kexi's face was naturally full of disbelief, and he couldn't imagine how Li Dingguo jumped from the wild land of southwest Burma to the city of Guangzhou at once.

"Father, there are still so many things to take care of there, the rivers outside this city are full of Ming warships, if you don't think of a way, I'm afraid this Guangzhou city will be difficult to protect......"

It was Shang Zhixiao who spoke, because his brother Shang Zhixin was in the palace as the emperor's close attendant, which was actually the reason for the hostage, so since Shang Kexi indulged in Buddhism, although he was only the capital of the domain, but now everything in the Pingnan palace is handled by him, and this military affairs have always been in charge of it.

Although the news that the Ming army went all the way up the river and attacked from the sea was far beyond his expectations, he didn't know that the threat of thousands of Hongyi cannons on the warships covering the ocean and the river to the city wall of Guangzhou was just as if it was to reflect Shang Zhi's filial piety.

"This, this is the Ming army firing artillery?"

Listening to the deafening Shang Kexi, he stood up with a pale face, he had just held a festival, for some reason, what came to his mind at this time was not how to defend the city, but this was retribution?

A moment later, there was a herald sent by the head of the city to spread that the Ming army fleet was bombarding the city wall between Yongxingmen and Dadongmen, listening to the communication of his subordinates, although he was a little uncertain, but after all, Shang Kexi, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, did not panic at all, but directly ordered his subordinates to prepare armor, and then rode on a horse, and rushed towards Yongxingmen under the escort of Shang Zhixiao and others.

Under the guard of the personal soldiers, when rushing to Yongxing Gate, you can see that the streets in Guangzhou City at this time are empty and there are no passers-by, and all the people have already taken refuge in their homes, and at this time, the uncertain Shang Kexi has no intention of asking the people, not to mention that he has never thought about the people at all, if he thinks that the people will slaughter Guangzhou back then.

"Could it be that this is the fate of the underworld?"

For Shang Kexi, who has become an obsessive believer in Buddhism in recent years, he naturally thought of the nightmares he had over the years, and even regarded the current Ming army's siege of the city as a kind of "fate", as a retribution reincarnation, and in a state of confusion, suddenly there was a "boom" in the air, as if there was a giant dragon roaring in the air, only to see a black shadow as big as a watermelon slowly flying from the air, it was a large cannon.

"Lord be careful......

Without waiting for the pro-soldiers to react, the seemingly slow cannon "smashed" down from the air, instantly penetrating several horses, and after the flesh and blood of the row of pro-soldiers were flying, the cannon as big as a watermelon fell on the street, and even after smashing it on the paving stone slab on the street, it rebounded and flew up when it smashed and injured a horse, before rolling to the ground again and rolling on the street.

"Tsk, this cannon is really ......"

Shang Zhixiao looked at the cannon as big as a watermelon in astonishment, and he didn't even glance at the casualties of his own soldiers, completely surprised by the size of the cannon.

He is no stranger to the Hongyi cannon, there is a Hongyi cannon on the city wall of Guangzhou, but the cannon of the Hongyi cannon is only eight catties at most, and it is like this cannon, looking at the size of the cannon, it is estimated that there must be dozens of catties.

"Lord Wang, come to think of it, the bigger this cannon is, the more powerful it will be, I wonder if this Guangzhou city wall can block its bombardment?"

Jin Guang, who was riding on a horse and following Shang Kexi's side, asked so casually, which only made Shang Kexi's face even more ugly, he nodded silently, listening to the sound of cannons coming from the direction of the river, and when his eyes stared at the city wall, the ominous meaning in his heart became stronger.

Finally, the group climbed to the head of the city, at the moment of boarding the city, look at the river, Shang Kexi's face was instantly without the slightest blood, only to see that the river surface has been completely covered by the sails, a three-masted ship almost occupies the river within a few miles of Fangyuan, and the river is even more smoky, only to see a warship, lined up to the city wall to continue to bombard, the gunsoft window on the side of the gun is wide open, like a bird's gunner's gun, one cannon after another, accompanied by the bombardment on the river, the city wall under his feet, This will have completely changed its appearance, the original neat city wall, this will be a look full of holes, the original neat pile of city wall bricks between one by one large or small holes, it seems extremely terrifying, especially in which the cannon fell in the dense place has even exposed the unique red rammed earth of Lingnan, if the cannon hits the rammed earth, it will immediately play a burst of red dust smoke, if the cannon hits the wall bricks of the wall, the bricks break and fall when the sound of the clatter, It is even more suspicious that this wall will not last long at all.

However, for Shang Kexi, who was standing at the head of the city, he knew very well that even if the Ming army's sailors continued to bombard the city of Guangzhou, the city wall of Guangzhou could still hold out for a long time. Even if the bricks are shattered, the rammed earth behind the bricks can hold up for a while, and unless a wall is completely destroyed, the bombardment is of no use at all.

Compared with the shelling, Shang Kexi is more concerned about the Ming army that has built a large camp along the river, his eyes are staring at the "Li" character handsome flag fluttering in the camp, his brows are tightly locked, that handsome flag is the handsome flag of Li Dingguo of the Jin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, after driving Li Dingguo out of Guangdong for many years, Shang Kexi never thought that he would see this flag again, thinking of the old things when Li Dingguo called for an attack on Guangzhou, so as to encircle Xinhui, his eyes that seemed to have become peaceful, burst out with a bloodthirsty gaze.

"Zhixiao, pass on the order, gather the team around the east gate, and prevent the thieves from breaking the city after the city is broken......"
