Chapter 670: The Battle of Guangzhou (7)
(Thank you for the commuter pass of "XCL1988XP"!) )
Feng Ziyong listened to the report of the military ding, and a senior official in front of him shouted to see him, saying that he was Lu Daqi. Feng Ziyong frowned when he heard it, he had never seen Lu Daqi, but his son Feng Ruoshu was half of Lu Daqi's teacher.
Lu Daqi is a native of Suining, Sichuan, and Feng Ziyong's hometown is Chengdu, Sichuan, which can be regarded as half of the township party. Lu Daqi was a jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and after entering Beijing, he served as the chief inspector of the Ministry of Officials, and Feng Ziyong's father was the Zhengqing of Dali Temple back then, and he took care of this little fellow. When Feng Ruoshu went south, he also recruited Lu Daqi in Nanjing, but Lu Daqi, Qian Qianyi and other Donglin parties colluded and politely refused Feng Ruoshu's solicitation.
Feng Ziyong knew the relationship between the two families, but he and Lu Daqi had not met, and now that he heard Lu Daqi name and wanted to see him, Feng Ruoshu had no choice but to come to the front of the battle under the protection of two hundred personal soldiers to visit his senior brother.
Feng Ziyong was dressed in uniform and looked at Lu Daqi opposite. Now Lu Daqi is not as energetic as when he first arrived in Guangdong, the official hat is gone, and the jade belt does not know where it was left. I fled in a hurry and lost one of my official boots, how embarrassed and embarrassed I am.
Feng Ziyong smiled and asked: "If you are a brother, the younger brother is Feng Ziyong, this is polite!" ”
Feng Ziyong said to salute, but he didn't mean to salute at all while riding on a horse. Lu Daqi didn't care about anything else now, and said: "Feng Ziyong, the old man is Lu Daqi, the old man will fail if he fails, don't slaughter ordinary soldiers!" ”
Feng Ziyong was very unhappy when he heard Lu Daqi call him by his name, Feng Ziyong is not the small county order he was back then, but the feudal official who is in charge of the two provinces of South China and has a population of tens of millions.
"Hehe, Brother Yanruo, although the younger brother is the supervisor, but this army is not under the control of the younger brother, please go to Your Majesty!"
Feng Ziyong is here to talk about it, and the musketeers under his command are not talking about it, so they killed hundreds of Guangxi Ming troops at the time when Feng Ziyong was talking.
Lu Daqi saw that the soldiers in front of him fell again, and now he couldn't care about the decency of a scholar, so he knelt down on his knees and said, "Lord Feng, please spare these ordinary sergeants in front of the old man!" ”
Feng Ziyong saw that the humiliation was almost over, and nodded to Zhou Yu beside him, and Zhou Yu passed the order to let the musketeers stop first.
At this time, the Guangdong Ming army, which was followed by the pursuit, also arrived in front of him, and Feng Ziyong said loudly to Lu Daqi: "Lord Lu, our Majesty Shenwu is here, let your subordinates put down their swords and guns first, and then go to meet our emperor with this official!" ”
Lu Daqi is now a fish on the chopping board, and there is no way to get a few generals under him to put down their knives and guns according to the requirements of the opposite side, and then stand in line, while he tidies up Rong Yi by himself, and follows Feng Ziyong to see that Chu Yi.
Feng Ziyong asked two personal soldiers to escort Lu Daqi, came to Zhu Hongsan's imperial chariot, bowed down and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister Liangguang and Yungui Governor Feng Ziyong, I have seen Your Majesty!" ”
Zhu Hongsan, who was in the imperial chariot, heard that Feng Ziyong was used, and stepped down from the imperial chariot to help Feng Ziyong and said with a smile: "Second brother, please get up, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the second brother has suffered in Guangdong!" ”
Feng Ziyong was squeezed out of the cabinet by Ma Mingyuan, he has learned a lot in the past two years, and has become more and more calm, and now when he heard the emperor say this, he quickly replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the ministers are all serving Your Majesty there, and they are not very bitter!" ”
Zhu Hongsan listened to Feng Ziyong's sycophancy, and couldn't help nodding in his heart, it seems that Feng Lao Er has also learned to be obedient, and he is not as proud as before.
Only then did Zhu Hongsan notice that there was another person behind Feng Ziyong, and Zhu Hongsan asked, "Second brother, who is this person?" ”
"Your Majesty, this person is the cabinet scholar of the puppet Yongli Emperor, the secretary of the military department, and the governor of Guangdong and Fujian, Lu Daqi!"
Zhu Hongsan was really angry when he heard that it was Lu Daqi, it was this guy who scolded himself in the letter, and also scolded his most respected mother.
Zhu Hong asked with a hideous face: "You are Lu Daqi?" Did you write to me? Still scolding my mother? ”
When Lu Daqi saw Zhu Hongsan's appearance, he knew that he would not escape death today. But Lu Daqi thought about it the other way, anyway, it's already like this, it's better to scold it than to live secretly, and leave a mark in the history books in the future!
"Chu Rebellion, the old man is Lu Daqi, I really didn't expect to see you here, the rebel of the Zhu family, the letter that scolded you back then was written by the old man, and if you have the ability, you will kill the old man now! The old man will go to the underworld and scold you, the Zhu family, for being rebellious in front of Taizu! ”
Zhu Hongsan saw that this old puppet was still so arrogant, and angrily pointed at Lu Daqi and scolded: "You old puppet, come here!" Put this old man in prison and put him to death! ”
The emperor ordered, and the Jinyi guard was going to step forward to get people. At this time, Zhang Huangyan, who was beside Zhu Hongsan, stood up and interceded for Lu Daqi.
Lu Daqi had a good relationship with Qian Qianyi back then, Zhang Huangyan studied under Qian Qianyi, and listened to a few classes of Lu Daqi, and now he sees that Lu Daqi is going to be unlucky, so he naturally wants to intercede for him.
"Your Majesty, please wait a minute, Your Majesty has something to say!"
Zhu Hongsan stared at his blood-red eyes and asked, "What?" Do you want to intercede for him? ”
"Your Majesty, your subordinates don't dare, it's just that this Lu Daqi has been in Guangdong for many days, and he must have colluded with the local gentry in Guangdong, so it's better to keep him alive first, and when it is found out that the Guangdong gentry secretly took refuge in Queen Gui, it's not too late to kill him!"
Zhu Hongsan thought that he was really right, he deposed Chen Zizhuang a year ago, and it is inevitable that some people in Guangdong want to secretly communicate with Zhu Youlang, so it is better to pry out the information from this Lu Daqi's mouth and wipe out these guys in Guangdong.
Zhu Hongsan suppressed the anger in his heart: "Okay, I'll listen to Xuan's words and temporarily detain this traitor!" ”
The entire battle of Guangzhou is now completely over, and this battle was first launched by the Yongli Emperor Zhu Youlang to seize Zhu Hongsan's logistics base. How do you know that the forcible * rape will not succeed but will be fucked, not only lost 240,000 troops outside Guangzhou, but also gave Zhu Hongsan a counterattack. After this campaign, Zhu Hongsan also thoroughly understood that if he wanted to conquer the outside world, he must first settle the interior, so he decided to shift the strategic focus to Guangxi, in order to solve Zhu Youlang's deal with the Manchu Qing first.
You must know that Zhu Youlang's 240,000 troops are the main forces deployed in Pingle Mansion and Liuzhou Mansion to defend Guangdong, and now they are all lost in Guangdong, and the whole of Guangxi is exposed in front of Zhu Hongsan like a beautiful woman without clothes.
After this battle, Zhu Hongsan found that the cold weapon army was very useful with musketeers, and it was very suitable for areas with dense water networks such as southern China. Therefore, after capturing the Ming army in Guangxi, another 50,000 people were selected among the prisoners and added to their own men.
Zhu Hongsan was busy in Guangzhou City for a few days before he remembered that there was still a Lu Daqi. asked the Military Aircraft Department to transfer Lu Daqi's interrogation records, and at first glance there was no collusion with Chen Zizhuang, and at the same time, because Chen Zizhuang did not join, several major families in Guangdong did not fall to Zhu Youlang, and only a few small families were loyal to Zhu Youlang.
Seeing this result, Zhu Hongsan was very surprised, he has always been heart-to-heart, and if he is replaced by Zhu Hongsan, he must hug Zhu Youlang's thighs. I really didn't expect this Chen Zizhuang to be quite virtuous.
Zhu Hongsan thought for a while and said to Zhang Huangyan: "Xuanzhu, you make arrangements, and tomorrow Chen Zizhuang will come to see me!" Zhang Huangyan hurriedly nodded in agreement.
The next day, Chen Zizhuang came to see Zhu Hongsan in a cloth suit, Chen Zizhuang was dismissed because of his fame, of course he couldn't wear silk.
After Chen Zizhuang entered the house, he knelt down and saluted, shouting three long live! He lost his fame, and naturally he lost the treatment of scholars, and he wanted to kowtow when he saw the emperor.
Zhu Hongsan still felt a little unbearable when he saw Chen Zizhuang like this, he knew very well why Chen Zizhuang was deposed, and this was Ma Mingyuan's responsibility.
"Mr. Chen, please get up! Come! Get a chair for Mr. Chen! ”
"Your Majesty, the sinners have no fame anymore, and they can't sit in front of Your Majesty!"
"Mr. Chen, don't say that, when I first arrived in Guangdong, it was Mr. Chen's strength that allowed me to gain a firm foothold in Guangdong, Mr. Chen has no credit and hard work, a seat is nothing!"
Chen Zizhuang saw that the emperor insisted, so he didn't say anything, and sat on the chair with his body turned over.
Seeing Chen Zizhuang sitting down, Zhu Hongsan smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, I was deceived by the traitor Ma Mingyuan back then, so I wronged Mr. Chen, but I had already deposed Ma Mingyuan before I came, which can be regarded as revenge for Mr. Chen!" ”
Chen Zizhuang smiled slightly when he heard the emperor say this, but did not say anything. He has been the first assistant to Zhu Hongsan for two years, and he knows too well what kind of person this emperor is, he is vicious, capricious, ruthless, and mean, can you still believe what such a person says?
"Your Majesty, I wonder what happened to summon the sinners this time?"
"Mr. Chen, you know that I am a rough person if I don't study, this time I asked Mr. Chen to come just to ask, this time Lu Daqi came, why didn't Mr. Chen have a party attached to Zhu Youlang? You know, I have some misunderstanding about Mr. Chen, haha, you know! ”
Chen Zizhuang listened to Zhu Hongsan's truth, smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, although the scolders are now wearing sin, but the sinners still know the righteousness, Your Majesty is kind to Chen Zizhuang, how can the sinners go to King Gui?" ”
Zhu Hongsan heard Chen Zizhuang talk about his "kindness" to him, his old face turned a rare red, and he smiled wryly: "Ah! In the past, I always listened to Ma Mingyuan's slander, but Mr. Chen still told the truth, I want to hear the truth! ”
Chen Zizhuang knew that the emperor in front of him was a pure utilitarian, and he would not believe it if he didn't understand it with him.
"Your Majesty, first of all, you are now back in the old capital, and you are in front of King Gui to worship the filial piety tomb, and the whole world has returned to their hearts, this is righteousness! Second, you occupy Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other grain-producing areas, and the population is even more than 100 million, while King Gui only occupies half of Guangxi, Yunnan-Guizhou, and Huguang, except for Huguang, other places are not grain-producing areas, and the population is not more than one-third of His Majesty's, so the sinners naturally know what to do! ”
Zhu Hongsan listened to what Chen Zizhuang said, and laughed: "That's right, I like to tell the truth, what is he Zhu Youlang, this time I led the army to prepare to solve this guy once and for all!" ”
