Chapter 382: Fight for the throne of King Gui and return to Zhaoqing
After the Qing army entered Guangdong, Zhu Youlang, the king of Gui who had just taken office in Zhaoqing, fled into Guilin in a hurry at the instigation of the eunuch Wang Kun and despite Qu Shiyun's obstruction.
Soon after, the news that the Qing army had attacked Guangzhou and that Zhu Yulu, the king of the Tang Dynasty, had been embraced as a prisoner by the gentry of Guangnan was immediately transmitted to Guangxi.
At this time, the inspector He Gang was ordered by Su Guansheng to come to Guilin to ask for help from the Gui Domain, and asked Ding Kuichu and Qu Shiyun to send troops to rescue Guangzhou, and Zhu Youlang hurriedly summoned him.
He Gang hurriedly boarded the dragon boat that King Gui was riding, under the light of the lights, Zhu Youlang sat in the middle, the concubine hung the curtain behind, and Ding Kuichu stood aside.
After He Gang saluted, Ding Kuichu immediately glanced at King Gui, Zhu Youlang straightened up slightly, and asked straight to the point: "Gu heard that the four kings of Tang, Deng, Zhou, and Yi were very happy, but since Gu has been appointed as the supervisor of the country, and the auxiliary minister Guansheng is also attached to the table, why did he suddenly change his hexagram and support the king of Tang?" ”
He Gang was speechless for a while, the people of Guangnan had previously expressed their attachment, naturally hoping that King Gui could carry the banner of resisting the Qing Dynasty and sit in Guangzhou to stabilize people's hearts, but the Qing army was still thousands of miles away, and King Gui fled in a hurry, where did the people of Guangnan be?
After all, He Gang came to ask for reinforcements, so he couldn't say, "It was His Royal Highness who abandoned the people first, so Su Ge Lao had no choice but to support the Tang King to stabilize people's hearts." ”
After a moment of silence, He just saluted and replied: "Returning to His Royal Highness, the Qing army is surrounded by heavy troops, and Su Ge Lao and General Liu have no choice but to support His Royal Highness the Tang King in order to stabilize people's hearts. At present, the Qing army is attacking very urgently, and Guangzhou is the only remaining anointed place in the Ming Dynasty, and there must be no loss. The minister thought that at this time, when there was a fight for the same surname, he also asked His Royal Highness to focus on the overall situation, send troops to rescue first, and wait to repel the Qing soldiers, and then determine the order before it is too late~"
At this time, after the loss of Jiangnan and Fujian, the only relatively wealthy place was Guangdong, and the rest of Guizhou, Guangxi, and Yunnan had many toasts, many mountains, and few places, and they were so poor that they did not ask for money from the imperial court, and they were all Buddhas.
Once the imperial court's finances collapse, it can only increase heavy taxes, which will make the people's hearts lose their hearts, and the people's hearts will definitely be unfavorable to the war, and if the war is unfavorable, they will have to raise taxes again, which will make Nanming fall into a dead end.
The land of Guangzhou must be saved, but Zhu Youlang didn't want to help the Tang King who threatened his status, so he couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he looked at Ding Kuichu on the side, Ding Kuichu immediately stepped forward and said to He Gang: "It's not impossible to send troops, but Tang Wang must first go to the position of supervising the country, and His Royal Highness will send troops." ”
Seeing this, Zhu Youlang nodded, and echoed: "Ding Qing's words are reasonable. He Qing can repair the Su Pavilion Department, as long as he lets the Tang King abdicate, Gu will immediately send troops to rescue. ”
He Gang listened to the words of the two, and felt disappointed in his heart, now the Qing soldiers are besieging on three sides, and Guangzhou is all supported by one breath, at this time, how can the Tang King abdicate?
He Gang had no choice but to prevaricate and leave, and quietly left Guilin that night, and went to Hunan to ask for reinforcements.
The establishment of the Tang king in Guangzhou was already an undoubted fact, and the Guiwang regime, which had fled to Guilin, fell into chaos.
A few days later, Qu Shiyun, who went to Nanning to rectify the soldiers and horses, came to Guilin, and Zhu Youlang hurriedly summoned him.
At this time, Zhu Youlang also realized how stupid he was to listen to the words of the eunuchs and flee in a hurry, which not only made him lose the support of the people in Guangdong, but also made some officials who were disappointed in him also fall to the king of Tang.
Qu Shiyun entered the palace to pay a visit, and Zhu Youlang hurriedly asked: "Aiqing, now the matter of King Tang standing in Guangzhou is beyond doubt. Since ancient times, there are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters in the country, and now there is no war and peace, and the two are safe? ”
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and Song Taizu's sentence "How can others sleep soundly on the side of the couch" has already expressed the thoughts of all the superiors.
Qu Shiyun heard that King Gui already had the intention of competing with Guangzhou, but at present, the current enemy is not the time to tear his face with Guangzhou.
"Your Highness, at present, the Qing soldiers have not retreated, and it is definitely not a dispute with the same surname, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness should return to Zhaoqing first, and the throne is in favor of the people." Qu Shiyun obviously had a draft in his heart, "Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people have won the world, His Royal Highness is the descendant of Shenzong, and the Ming Dynasty is orthodox, as long as he returns to Zhaoqing, collects the hearts of the people, and ascends to the throne as soon as possible, he will make Guangnan attached." For the affairs of the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness does not have to worry, he is trapped in Guangzhou, and he is the imperial captive of His Royal Highness! After His Royal Highness returns to Zhaoqing, he can first win over many governors and ministers, and get the recognition of local officials, so as not to have any conflict with Guangzhou for the time being, if the Qing army retreats, His Royal Highness gets the support of the provinces, and Guangzhou is a city, naturally unable to compete with His Highness, if the Qing army does not retreat, Guangzhou will be in danger for a long time, then it will inevitably ask His Highness, His Royal Highness can order the Tang King to abdicate and return to the domain, and the position of the great unification is also in His Highness! ”
"Good~" After Zhu Youlang listened, he suddenly opened his mouth and said happily: "The Qing family is really a minister of the country!" Lone resolution, according to the intention of the Qing family, back to Zhaoqing~"
On the outskirts of Guangzhou, on the grassy field, the autumn wind blows, blowing waist-high weeds swaying with the wind, between the grasses, there is a newly turned land with a radius of about ten miles, the fresh soil is full of spirit flags and spirit flags, and the ground is scattered with pieces of round hole paper money.
In Guangzhou in September, it seems that there is a heavy snowfall, the spirit flag is like a branch full of snowflakes, and the paper money blown by the wind is a heavy snow flying in the sky.
"The soul returns~The soul returns~"
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Guangnan died in the invasion of Guangdong by the Qing troops in August of the second year of Longwu.
His Royal Highness the King of Tang and Su Guansheng, together with the gentry of Guangzhou, came to the cemetery where tens of thousands of people were buried together after the end of the war to pay tribute to the souls of the dead and appease people's hearts.
Like this cemetery, there are more than ten outside the city of Guangzhou, in the cemetery in front of the Tang King and his entourage, buried are the soldiers and people who died in battle, and there are more than 10,000 new graves on the newly turned ground.
At this time, more than a dozen Taoist leaders of the Zhengyi faction were shaking bells, shuttling between the graves, chanting excessive words in their mouths, "Death and life inside and outside the battlefield, there is a fate for heroes to return to the camp, there is no chance for a strong man to invest in Jiuquan, sacrifice his body for the country, the name of the universe is filial piety and loyalty, the night is difficult to escape, the misty and lonely soul is the most pitiful, and the fragrant flowers welcome back to the imperial altar ~ Summoning the soul to return to his hometown ~"
Tang Wang looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but say to Su Guansheng: "In this battle, the vitality of the land of eastern Guangdong has been greatly damaged, and I am afraid it will take a few years to restore its original appearance~"
Su Guansheng's thinking was much more complicated than that of Tang Wang, "Guangnan has been peaceful for a long time, before the Qing army entered Guangzhou, except for some scholars, most of the squires and Dajia were not concerned about the war, and felt very far away, and now it is good to experience this battle, although many people died, but it also woke up the people of Guangnan~"
Tang Wang nodded, and did not continue the topic just now, but asked, "I heard that King Gui is preparing to return to Zhaoqing, I wonder what the Pavilion Elder is going to do?" ”
Su Guansheng said with a wave of anger on his face: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry about this matter, Your Highness led the army to resist the Qing army, King Gui did not contribute to the people of Guangnan, and now even if His Highness does not want to fight with him, the people of Guangnan will not agree~"
When King Tang heard this, his face was worried, "I don't know, what is the situation of Your Majesty?" If Your Majesty is safe and sound, Lone will not have to fall into such a dilemma! ”
