No. 023 Siege

After a few days of long journey, Wang Fuzhi finally arrived in Wuzhou -- the emperor's temporary stay, with Zhai Shiyun and the Wuzhou military and people of the entrustment and hope that he personally entered the temporary palace to meet the emperor, so Zhu Youlang had an intuitive understanding of the critical situation in Zhaoqing, and also knew that the enemy left him with little time, at most half a month, Li Chengdong's army was about to enter the city, and at this time it may have been attacking Zhaoqing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoAfter Wang Fuzhi retired, he urgently convened a pre-imperial meeting.

When Zhu Youlang entered the Qiyun Hall as the council hall, the cabinet minister, Wang Huacheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, took the lead in stepping forward and kneeling in his robe, and the rest of the civil and military ministers also performed the regular court salute of kneeling and kowtowing three times.

After finishing the etiquette, Wang Huacheng turned his head and found that Chen Bangfu and Fu were juxtaposed with him, so he said with a displeased face: "Marquis Qingyuan, please love yourself." ā€

Chen Bangfu snorted lightly and ignored his warning, now that he is a marquis, he has the skill of hoeing and treachery, and he is in charge of the military power, and he has completely ignored these central bosses who are strong and powerful.

Wang Huacheng also seems to be more jealous of Chen Bangfu's power, and he is good at power change, and he does not fight with pedantic reasoning, but quietly hides his dissatisfaction in his heart.

At the imperial meeting, Zhu Youlang spread the news of the front line brought by Wang Fuzhi to everyone, and after everyone whispered for a while, they gradually divided into two factions.

Led by Fang Yizhi, a clear stream advocated immediately collecting grain and grass, mobilizing the remaining troops of Guangxi Province to accompany the expedition, and galloping to Zhaoqing in the starry night to save the crisis in Lindu.

At the same time, taking advantage of the Qing army's attack on Zhaoqing, they stepped up the arrangement of water and land defense at various passes in Guangxi, and at the same time announced that the righteous teachers from all over the country would gather in Wuzhou to rescue King Qin, and strive to annihilate the Qing army under the city of Wuzhou.

The newly promoted noble Chen Bangfu also nodded in agreement with Wang Huacheng's point of view, he just wanted to preserve his strength, and he didn't care about the rescue.

Seeing that most of the courtiers, including the newly promoted noble Chen Bangfu, agreed to Wang Huacheng's suggestion, Zhu Youlang felt that this matter was very hot.

Does Zhaoqing want to be rescued? Of course saved!

One must build on a firm foundation?

Even if Zhaoqing still didn't hold it in the end, it would buy him a little time to rectify his internal affairs.

In the end, he chose to compromise and promoted Chen Bangfu to the deputy governor of Beijing, and ordered him to select a partial division to rescue Zhaoqing.

When he returned to the Hou Mansion and told the emperor's will to his adviser Hu Zhigong, Hu Zhigong asked in a low voice: "The marshal really intends to act on orders?" ā€

Chen Bangfu nodded undeniably and said: "He is the emperor, and now he is a reward and a promotion, so this lord naturally does not refute his face." Partial teacher? Hehe, just make up a team of people to deal with it, Benjue is not so leisurely. ā€

"Handsome and smart!" Hu Zhigong was originally worried that Chen Bangfu would be favored by the emperor, and he would really die to serve the king and do that kind of thankless thing, but now seeing that his master is still so shrewd, he finally put the heart he just hung back into his stomach, and he still pointed to Chen Bangfu's long-lasting prosperity, so that he can follow the infinite scenery!

At noon on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the Qing army's green camp vanguard had arrived at the Wutou Fort ten miles away from Zhaoqing's Nanxunmen, and set up camp there. Subsequently, the main force of 20,000 water and land under the personal command of Li Chengdong, the governor of Jiangnan, arrived.

Li Chengdong, formerly a general of Gao Jie, nicknamed "Li Hezi". Hongguang was the general soldier of Xuzhou, and when Gao Jie entered Suizhou, he was unfortunately killed by Xu Dingguo, who conspiracy to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, after that, although the rest of Gao Jie still guarded Xuzhou and other places, but it was already falling apart.

Soon the Qing troops went south, and Li Chengdong, who was stationed in Xuzhou, conformed to the general trend and surrendered with 4,000 soldiers and horses. Since then, he has become the vanguard of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's southward invasion of Ming. Yangzhou has his figure on the 10th, Kunshan, Jiangyin, Jiading three massacres are Li Chengdong's single-handed, Li Chengdong with the blood of the Ming people stained the top red, straight to the high position of the governor of Jiangnan.

Bo Luo entered Fujian, and Zheng Zhilong and other ministers of the Longwu Dynasty were servile, which fueled his arrogance, so he deliberately wiped out Fujian and Guangdong. So, Li Chengdong was transferred from Jiangnan, Li Chengdong entered Xianxia Pass, chased and fought all the way, and successively captured and killed Emperor Longwu and Emperor Shaowu, so far Li Chengdong's achievements in destroying the Ming Dynasty reached its peak.

With the arrival of the Qing army, the four gates of Zhaoqing City were closed, and the whole city was under martial law. For the upcoming war, Zhaoqing turned like a machine. After a while, a few horsemen came from the city, it was Li Chengdong who sent an envoy to surrender, needless to say, the content was naturally to leave Zhaoqing Supervisor Zhai Shiyun and others to surrender immediately. Without Zhai Shiyun coming forward, Zhang Tongyi ordered his soldiers to shoot the envoy's arrows back at the head of the city. And send a word: "Phew! ā€

Li Chengdong did not give up on this, and personally went to the city to persuade him to surrender: "Since the general returned to the mandate of heaven, he has now become an official to the first grade, holding an axe, supporting the festival, holding life and death, and being respected in the south."

If Duke Zhai is willing to abandon his weapons and surrender to sincerity, he will be an important minister of the Qing Dynasty in one day. As the saying goes, 'those who know the times are the heroes', the Qing Dynasty entered China from Jiashen (1644 AD), and in three years, the north and the south were unified. The Qing army will be broken in the county and county, and the state will die! The time of day, the cover can be known!

Zhai Gong resists the world with a city, but it is a mantis arm as a car, if he is obedient, he will definitely turn disaster into blessing and establish extraordinary achievements. If you don't descend, you will anoint the wilderness with your body and blood, and who in the world will know it! ā€

Zhai Shiyun smiled contemptuously: "General Li, as a man's husband, can neither be loyal to his own dynasty, nor can he rise on his own, and he is a lonely man in the world, and he is a man and an eagle dog, how can he still bully me and other dignified husbands with the words of Junjie and current affairs?"

In the past, there were two emperors of Shaokang and Guangwu, the restoration of Zhongxing, the benevolence of our emperor, the return of the people to the heart, and the time and personnel of the day, it is not yet known!

This cabinet department has been affected by the great virtue of the dynasty, the third duke, and the marquis, and has always wanted to do his best to expel the Tartars and sweep away the Central Plains, so there is no need to say more about General Li's nonsense of persuading him to surrender! ā€

Although he admired Zhai Shiyun's integrity, seeing that he was so stubborn, Li Chengdong was still quite annoyed in his heart, and seeing that there was no hope of persuasion, he pulled out the long knife on his waist and brazenly ordered the siege of the city

……

Wuzhou Mansion in Guangxi, the emperor is here.

After a few days of busy operation, Chen Bangfu finally collected some guards and some eliminated battalion soldiers near Wuzhou, plus some homeless people who had no food and clothing, and temporarily put together an "army" of 5,000 people.
