Chapter 34 Move the capital to Guangzhou
"Your Majesty, let the tiger return to the mountain." As soon as Chen Zizhuang saw Li Yuanyin taking the lead in leading the troops, he hurriedly came to persuade Zhu Youlang.
Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Zizhuang with a look that you were wrong, and he smiled warmly: "Chen Aiqing, are you sure to break through Chaohui Erzhou?" ”
"Then don't let the tiger go back to the mountain." Chen Zizhuang raised his head and said stiffly, in fact, he knew that although he and Zhang Jiayu and other volunteers had tens of thousands of people in total, they were just a rabble, even if they were carefully trained, they were not as good as the battle-hardened Tartar soldiers.
"Report, General Bai Gui asks to see you."
"Xuan."
After a while, Bai Gui came in a military uniform: "Before I meet Your Majesty, the firearms and gunpowder have been prepared." ”
"Hmm." After Zhu Youlang frowned and walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, he looked at Bai Gui expressionlessly: "You are going, not to attack the city, not to destroy the enemy, if Li Yuanyin successfully captures Huichao Erzhou, then you will enter Zhuchaozhou to prevent the Tartars from going south." ”
Bai Gui and Chen Zizhuang both looked at Zhu Youlang seriously, and when Zhu Youlang said this, his eyes were cold and he said: "If Li Yuanyin rebels, then you will retreat to Zengcheng and you don't have to fight against it." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Of course, if Li Yuanyin does not rebel and his ability is not enough to seize Erzhou, then you will immediately rush back to Zengcheng and do not need to attack the city."
"I didn't obey." Bai Gui had to be ordered to go.
Chen Zizhuang answered puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, why don't you gather troops to attack Huichao Erzhou with all your might, but how to risk letting Li Yuanyin lead the troops away." ”
Zhu Youlang looked away helplessly: "Don't use people, don't use people, don't say anything about this matter, I believe that Li Yuanyin will live up to me." ”
When Chen Zizhuang still wanted to speak, Zhu Youlang stopped with a cold face and ordered: "Aiqing will go down to support the volunteers, and lead the troops back to Guangzhou tomorrow morning, and then try to do anything else." ”
At this time, Zhu Youlang had already set his sights on Zhang Jiayu and other volunteers, and Zhu Youlang had long wanted to reorganize the generals, but he had no chance before, and now he took advantage of the opportunity to reorganize the volunteers.
Chen Zizhuang's face changed slightly, and finally after thinking twice, Chen Zizhuang sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the volunteer soldier is not a volunteer soldier of one minister, and he is not a soldier of His Majesty's henchmen. ”
Zhu Youlang looked at Chen Zizhuang curiously when he heard this, and he didn't expect that Chen Zizhuang would directly point out the essence of the volunteers.
"I just want to reward the loyal ministers and righteous men of the Ming Dynasty, so you can just follow this indication."
Chen Zizhuang opened his mouth to speak, but in the end he retreated without saying a word, it was really that as an official from Confucianism, he had no way to speak, so he had to obey Zhu Youlang's will to discuss with Zhang Jiayu and others.
When Bai Guihui returned, he ordered a fire to make a meal, and then after resting for an hour after the meal, he ordered a light march.
And when Zhu Youlang's personal expedition to Guangzhou was wiped out by a series of officials in Zhaoqing, Qu Shiyun and Wang Huadeng and other civil and military officials hurriedly led the troops to Guangzhou.
However, when they received Zhu Youlang's victory in the battle, they were all shocked, and then they turned to Zengcheng to directly persuade Zhu Youlang.
It's just that when they came to Zengcheng, Zhu Youlang led the troops back to Guangzhou, which had the meaning of setting up a temporary palace in Guangzhou.
After rushing overnight, Li Yuanyin returned to Huizhou when the sun rose the next day, and he went straight into the city as usual, not as adventurous as Zhu Youlang thought.
As soon as Li Yuanyin entered the city, he saw all the generals, because most of the soldiers in the two cities were soldiers who came to surrender from the old Ming Dynasty, so Li Yuanyin, the main general, gave an order, and they did not have him.
When Li Yuanyin ordered the Qing to suppress the traitors in the Ming army, they were all shocked, because the soldiers and horses of the Qing army were all loyal people such as Tong Yangjia and Li Yuanyin's unbelievers.
However, under Li Yuanyin's insubmissive and murderous eyes, they all obeyed Li Yuanyin's orders to go down to arrange, that night, Li Yuanyin sealed Huizhou City, and after one night, Tong Yangjia and other people who were loyal to the Qing and Li Yuanyin suspected that they had two hearts fell to the ground, and the family furniture was trapped.
After Li Yuanyin went down to Huizhou City, he went to Chaozhou City, Li Chengdong left a large number of old ministers of the Ming Dynasty who came to surrender, Gu Chao, Yuan Pengnian and so on are all here.
As soon as Li Yuanyin arrived in Chaozhou City, he found Yuan Pengnian, Yuan Pengnian was a person who Li Chengdong knew well, and he was also a person who never forgot the old Ming, so Li Yuanyin directly told Yuan Pengnian about the Battle of Zengcheng.
Yuan Pengnian was overjoyed when he heard this, firstly, he was happy that Li Yuanyin could have this Juewu, and secondly, he was happy that Daming still had such elite generals, especially Zhu Youlang's performance, which made him see the hope of reviving Daming, so Yuan Pengnian fully cooperated with Li Yuanyin to bring the Chaozhou military and political officials.
First, Yuan Pengnian publicized the increase in war in person, but he said that Li Chengdong's capture was defeated anyway, and he wanted them to choose a path.
Under the combination of swords, Chaozhou civil and military clubs all chose to obey, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners who were loyal to the Qing court immediately pulled their swords and thought of it, but under the arrangement of Li Yuanyin, who was well prepared, they all turned into souls under the sword.
When Bai Gui got Li Yuanyin and Huichao Erzhou, he was also a little surprised that he would solve the matter of Erzhou so easily, but he didn't understand Li Chengdong's position in the hearts of these generals.
After Bai Gui passed Zhu Youlang's meaning to Li Yuanyin, Li Yuanyin took all Li Chengdong's troops and went straight to Guangzhou, and Bai Gui directly strengthened the defense in Chaozhou.
When Zhu Youlang returned to Guangzhou slowly, it was already three days later, and because of this return, Zhu Youlang stopped the posture of the Son of Heaven, and it was really the officials and people along the way who knew the news of the emperor's victory.
It's just that when Zhu Youlang met Qu Shiyun and other civil and military officials, Zhu Youlang was a little displeased, originally Zhu Youlang wanted to sort out the officers and soldiers in Guangzhou, so he ordered Qu Shiyun and others to come to Guangzhou, and then they could directly stand in Guangzhou.
"Long live my emperor, long live ...
.....
Under the shouts of the civil and military officers and civilian soldiers, Zhu Youlang entered the city and returned to the palace of the chief secretary of Guangzhou.
"Your Majesty, this time Taizu's manifestation made Your Majesty a great victory, and Your Majesty can't give birth to the heart of underestimating the enemy." Wang Huadeng spoke bluntly.
When the news of Zhu Youlang's victory came back, Wang Huadeng was also taken aback, originally he thought that Zhu Youlang was in the military camp because he wanted to have a sense of security in the military camp, but he knew that Zhu Youlang did such a shocking thing without making a sound.
After Wang Huadeng thought about Ding Kui and Chu Wang Shen, he decided that he must let Zhu Youlang leave the army and Jiao Lian and others.
Zhu Youlang glanced at Wang Hua Denger expressionlessly and then smiled at Qu Shiyun, in fact, at this time, Zhu Youlang sneered in his heart, Lao Tzu was originally going to make you happy for a while, but you are so ignorant, then don't blame me.
"This big victory, depends on the soldiers will sacrifice their lives and forget death, I have decided to review and reward the generals tomorrow, and let them go in advance, now Zhu Aiqing will talk about moving the capital to Guangzhou."
