Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Throne (Part II)
Ma Jixiang happily rushed into the temporary palace in Guangzhou and shouted loudly, "The emperor is overjoyed! King Qin is going to welcome the emperor back to Beijing! ”
Ma Jixiang immediately knelt on the ground with three bows and nine bows, "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor." Pen "fun" pavilion www.biquge.info outside the King of Qin, King Jin and other loyal people, inside there are ministers and other guards, the emperor will become a Ming Dynasty, leave a name in history! ”
When Yongli heard that Zheng Chenggong was going to supply him to return to Beijing, he immediately jumped up and drank, "Really! Is what Aiqing said serious? ”
Ma Jixiang immediately knelt on the ground three times and bowed nine times, "This matter is true, the King of Qin has made it clear to the world, and sent his general Lin Xishan to lead 20,000 navies to welcome the emperor back to Beijing." Congratulations to the Emperor, congratulations to the Emperor. There are loyal people such as the King of Qin and the King of Jin, and there are ministers and other guards inside. ”
Yongli walked around excitedly, "Good, good! It was I who misunderstood Zheng Mingyan, and Zheng Mingyan really did not lose Daming Yue Pengju and Guo Ziyi. I was finally able to return to Beijing to pay tribute to the emperors. Hahaha...... Reward, we must reward Zheng Mingyan. Zheng Mingyan is already the king of Qin, what should he be rewarded? What good advice do you have? ”
Qu Shiyun looked at Yongli happy, and couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in his heart.
Zheng Mingyan announced to the world in such an open and honest manner that he wanted to supply Yongli into Beijing.
He couldn't help but think of one thing.
A thing that the people of the Ming Dynasty all understood what was going on, but they didn't dare to say it.
Han Lin'er, the king of Xiaoming, also died when he was told by Zhu Yuanzhang to the world and sent his henchmen to greet him, but the boat capsized and sank into the river.
Now Zheng Chenggong is not taking the dry road, but prefers to take the more dangerous sea route.
This made Qu Shiyun feel ominous.
Qu Shiyun wanted to make Yongli not go north easily, but he couldn't open his mouth with these advances.
For those who are loyal to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's return to Beijing is definitely a joy to see, a great joy, the whole world celebrates, and runs to tell each other...... The big deal.
Even Qu Shiyun hopes that the emperor will return to Beijing in his heart, which means that the orthodoxy of China is still the Ming Zhu family, not as remote as it is now.
If he advances, he will be so frightened that he will never dare to go north.
It is completely conceivable that when the time comes, from the hundreds of officials to the common people, absolutely no one will agree with his prudence.
They will surely storm themselves for impeachment.
After thinking about it, Qu Shiyun found that whether he agreed or opposed, he could no longer change the current situation.
For a while, Qu Shiyun's interest was so unreasonable that he couldn't even hold on to the beliefs he had always adhered to.
Seeing that Qu Shiyun, who was most worried about him, was silent, Ma Jixiang secretly pouted, and said in his heart that it was really as Zheng Mingyan said in his book.
Ma Jixiang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the reason why King Qin didn't dare to welcome the emperor back to Beijing is just because he was afraid. As long as the emperor rewards the children of the Zheng family for the hereditary King of Qin, imitates the example of the Mu Wangfu Yongzhen Fujian, and at the same time rewards the Danshu iron coupons. In this way, the King of Qin will no longer have any worries, loyally assist the emperor, prosper the Ming Dynasty, and build a meritorious career for all generations! ”
Yong Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said again and again, "What Ma Aiqing said is reasonable, Zheng Mingyan rebelled at the time of the critical survival of the Ming Dynasty, and drove the Tartars to recover my Ming Dynasty, which is really the most meritorious in my Ming Dynasty, and it is worthy of this reward!" I will issue an order to reward Zheng Mingyan. I also want the people of the world to know that I will not treat meritorious people badly! ”
When the other officials heard this, they knelt down and kowtowed and said, "The emperor is sage!" ”
……
With the loss of time, in early March of the twelfth year of Yongli, the Zheng family navy led by Lin Xishan arrived at the port of Guangzhou.
Before he docked, Lin Xishan saw countless people waiting on the dock from a distance.
As soon as the battleship docked, Lin Xishan hurriedly walked down the armor and said to Qu Shiyun and Ma Jixiang who were waiting, "A certain is the naval governor under the throne of Qin, and he has come to welcome the emperor back to Beijing on the order of the current prince. Dare to ask Mr. Qu Shiyun Qu? ”
Qu Shiyun said lightly: "Yes, it's the old man!" ”
Lin Xishan bowed and saluted: "The last general will see Master Qu." I don't know where the emperor is, please bring the last general to pay homage! ”
Qu Shiyun didn't say a word, turned around and left.
Ma Jixiang, who was on the side, saw that he was busy talking to Lin Xishan and led him into the palace.
In the main hall of the palace, Lin Xishan saw Yongli for the first time, and he felt funny when he saw that he was obviously very nervous, but he was pretending to be calm.
Zheng Chenggong will send Lin Xishan to carry out the task of welcoming Yongli, and what he values is Lin Xishan's stability.
Although Lin Xishan was very disdainful of the weak Yongli, he still maintained respect on his face.
Lin Xishan was not interested in bowing three times and bowing nine times to Yongli, and he would say that he would give his hand to Yongli. Please forgive me for wearing armor and not being able to salute the whole body. "The last general is wearing armor, please forgive the last general for not being able to make a big salute!"
Ma Jixiang was afraid that Yongli would blame Lin Xishan for his rudeness, so he hurriedly said, "General Lin is serious, how can the emperor blame you." Your Majesty, General Lin is a confidant general under King Qin, and he killed the Tartar puppet emperor, and General Lin also made great efforts. Be rewarded well to show the emperor's grace! ”
Ma Jixiang secretly mentioned Yongli in his words, this Lin Xishan is the confidant of King Zheng Chenggong of Qin, you still need to rely on King Qin now, and you can't blame casually. Not only can you not blame, but you also have to reward it, so that you can sell favors to Zheng Chenggong.
Yongli reacted and said, "Ma Aiqing is right, General Lin assisted me in returning to Beijing, how could I forget such a great achievement." I Jia awarded General Lin the title of General of the Dragon and Tiger, the Duke of Denghai! ”
Ma Jixiang hurriedly complimented: "The emperor is sage! ”
Lin Xishan heard it and muttered in his heart, "The reward of bullshit is just an empty white tooth." You are now under the fence, what can you reward me? Even the bulk of your daily payment is given by the general. If you want to rely on these two empty words to let Lao Tzu sell your life to you, you are really dreaming! ”
However, he immediately endured his disdain for the emperor and thanked him again and again.
After saying a lot of thanksgiving words, Lin Xishan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the people of the capital are looking forward to your return to Beijing. The Qing Emperor quickly set up a frame and returned to Beijing to appease the hearts of the people in the world. ”
Ma Jixiang also persuaded, "What General Lin said is very true, if the emperor leaves for Beijing as soon as possible." ”
Yongli also wanted to see the capital as soon as possible, so he nodded and agreed, "Well, I'll leave in three days!" ”
Although Yongli is the emperor of the downfall, he is also the emperor, and there are a lot of people who follow him, and he does his best to set off in three days.
Three days later, under the persuasion of Ma Jixiang, he boarded the battleship and set off for Tianjin.
After seven days at sea, the Zheng navy had just sailed to the border area between Shandong and Zhejiang.
After days of sailing, the landlubber almost vomited all the bile.
Now the whole person is thin and about to fall out of shape, lying in the cabin, being hung by people with ginseng soup.
Lin Xishan stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the sea, thinking about the appearance of Yongli just now, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
While he was thinking about something else, the lookout from the top of the ship shouted, "There's a large group of ships ahead, pirates, pirates, pirates, pirates......"
He blew the whistle and shouted desperately.
Hearing the alarm, Ma Jixiang and Qu Shiyun hurriedly ran out and shouted, "What happened? ”
Lin Xishan said contemptuously, "It's okay! It's just some spearhead thieves. The two of them rest assured, with the prestige of my Zheng family's navy, they will definitely send the emperor back to Beijing safely. ”
When Ma Jixiang saw Lin Xishan's majesty, he couldn't help but smile, and opened his throat and said, "Then everything depends on General Lin."
Lin Xishan's mighty general waved his hand and shouted loudly, "Let the emperor see the power of our Zheng family's naval army." Sink those little thieves for me! ”
"Yes, the Zheng family navy shouted in unison!"
The main force of the Zheng family's naval fleet, 20 capital warships and 5 auxiliary ships, arrived under the leadership of Lin Xishan, commander-in-chief of the navy, to attack the pirates.
Twenty minutes later, the lookout could clearly see the pattern of the opposing flag.
"It's the banner of the traitor Shi Lang!"
"What! It turned out to be the traitor Shi Lang, and he beat me hard. Last time, he got away with it, but I didn't expect him to become a pirate. This time, I can't let him escape anymore, I must capture him and hand him over to the general for disposal! ”
The fleets of the two sides were 800 meters apart, and the Zheng family's naval flagship Guan Yu was the first to open fire.
The first guerrilla group of the Zheng family's fleet turned to the left at a distance from Shi Lang's pirate fleet and sailed to the pirate's right flank.
Ten seconds later, all the ships of the Zheng family's fleet fired artillery bombardment in unison. Three minutes later, Shi Lang's corsair also began to fire back.
In an instant, hundreds of guns from both sides were fired at the same time, the smoke of gunpowder was filled, and the sea water was boiling.
When the fierce battle was in full swing, suddenly the warships of the Zheng family's fleet suddenly escaped, and then reacted together, the Zheng family's navy could no longer support it, and the warships tried their last strength to escape desperately.
Lin Xishan saw the big jump and shouted, "Don't run, don't run, come back, come back......"
When the guard saw it, he hurriedly set up Lin Xishan and ran towards a lifeboat.
While the guards escaped, they did not forget to take Qu Shiyun with them.
Ma Jixiang was only there, and the general who was still domineering just now was so frightened that he seemed to run away.
It wasn't until he saw Lin Xishan and Qu Shiyun being sent to the lifeboat by the guards that he reacted and shouted, "I haven't gotten on the boat yet, I haven't gotten on the boat yet......"
No matter how Ma Jixiang shouted, the lifeboat was gone.
Soon Shi Lang boarded the unsuspecting Guan Yu and easily captured Yongli.
Qu Shiyun saw Shi Lang holding Yongli in the lifeboat, and laughed loudly: "Yongli Xiaoer, I want you to give me a burial with the Great Qing Sage." Your Majesty, the ministers have taken revenge! ”
With that, he drew a treasure knife and cut off his head despite Yong's fierce struggle.
Qu Shiyun's eyes cracked, and if it wasn't for the guards pulling him, he would have thrown himself into the sea to die.
Seeing that Yongli was dead, Lin Xishan cried and shouted, "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves to die...... Don't stop me, don't stop me. Let me die! ”
The guards stopped this and pulled that, and the lifeboat was busy and confused.
