Chapter 501: Discuss the way back
Zhu Yihai's heart could no longer remain calm, it had become a pot of porridge, and he had no idea for a while, the whole person became restless, his expression was solemn and panicked, his brows were furrowed, and his mouth was full of words, looking very depressed and lonely.
"The Dashun army is about to be killed, what can I do? As a royal family, is it possible to wait for death like this? Could it be that I want to hang myself like Brother Wang to show my bones? No, I can't die..... It's not like there's no way back......"
At this time, Zhu Dadian stood up and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, at this time, the situation is critical, don't panic, don't mess up, otherwise, it will only be useless and give the enemy a chance to take advantage of." ”
Hearing this, it was as if he had grasped the last straw, and in a panic, Zhu Yihai was happy and worried, and couldn't help but ask for help: "Master Zhu, then you say, what should I do now?" ”
"Of course, the sooner you leave, the better!"
Zhu Dadian blurted out, and after coming to such a sentence, he added: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen thinks that since the Qiantang River defense line built by General Fang has been defeated, then the rebel army is not far from Shaoxing City, and this is already an extremely unsafe place, so it is better to evacuate quickly." ”
"Is that good?"
Although he was so moved that he wanted to flee Shaoxing City immediately and stay away from the battlefield, but because of the dignity of the emperor, he could not retreat easily, even if he had to flee, it was up to the courtiers to raise it, Zhu Yihai finally couldn't help but ask this, some hesitation, more like pretending.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing bad about it, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, as long as the emperor can save yourself, you can regain the old rivers and mountains, recover the lost land, and if people die, everything will be over."
Zhu Dadian said eloquently, not blushing at all, as if he had forgotten what he had done, it was definitely Zhu Ranran, so far, he had served three masters, and every time the Dashun Army called, he was the fastest runner.
Obviously, some officials around him looked down on Zhu Dadian very much, and when they heard him talk so loudly and so exaggeratedly, their faces showed contempt, but the situation was critical, and they had to approve of what Zhu Dadian said.
No, Zhang Guowei is the first.
"Yes, the emperor, today's Shaoxing Mansion is all over the Dashun Army, if you hesitate, you can't leave if you want to, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the future, I hope that the emperor will make a decision as soon as possible, and immediately evacuate Shaoxing Mansion."
Compared with Zhang Guowei and Zhu Dadian's views, the sooner they left Shaoxing City, the better, and Qian Sule, who had experience in leading troops, was much calmer and more considerate, and put forward some different views.
"Emperor Qi, Weichen thinks that even if you want to evacuate Shaoxing City, you can't take action immediately, the method and strategy are very important, and it is best to choose to act late at night. Otherwise, the action has not yet begun, but it has already died, which is counterproductive. ”
"Lord Qian, what do you say?" Zhu Yihai frowned slightly, faintly unhappy.
"Your Majesty, you also heard it just now, at this time, Shaoxing Mansion is full of soldiers and chaos, full of chaotic troops, if you evacuate Shaoxing City like this, it will be grandiose and exposed in broad daylight, it is difficult to ensure the secrecy of your whereabouts. Especially the men and horses of the brigade, it is easy to attract the attention of the Dashun army, so as to ambush us. ”
"Moreover, Your Majesty, if the people and defenders of Shaoxing City see you leave first, the people's hearts and the army's morale will inevitably be affected, I am afraid that as soon as you leave, the Emperor, Shaoxing City will be lost, which is not conducive to evacuation."
Hearing Qian Sule say this, although he was reluctant to leave Shaoxing immediately, Zhu Yihai also had to agree that the life and death of the people of Shaoxing City could not be ignored, but they needed Shaoxing City as a bait to attract the Dashun army.
As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Zhu Yihai's heart also decreased a lot, but he was still a little reluctant, with an anxious look on his face, and urged inquiringly: "Then you say, what should I do next?" ”
"Hmm... Your Majesty, Weichen thought that if he left Shaoxing Mansion, it was best to choose late at night, so that he could take advantage of the night to cover his whereabouts well, and it could also maximize the morale of the army and the people of Shaoxing City. And, not only that, but when evacuating, it is not possible to leave all at once, but in batches. ”
"Also, Your Majesty, when you evacuate, let the guards escort you away, and after a while, then the queen and the prince."
"Lord Qian, can't my family leave together?"
Qian Sule shook his head very resolutely, seeing that Zhu Yihai was embarrassed and reluctant, he seemed to have thought of something, and couldn't help but move in his heart, and asked instead of answering: "Your Majesty, do you remember King Lao Fu?" ”
"Of course......
Zhu Yihai blurted out without hesitation, and after spitting out three words, he seemed to think of something, but his voice stopped abruptly, his face was solemn, and he nodded heavily, as if he had made some difficult decision, and finally said in a deep voice: "Okay, just do what you say~~." ”
Zhu Yihai is not stupid, he still understands very well, and he heard Qian Sule's hints in an instant, if the family evacuates Shaoxing City at the same time, the chaos of the army and the people will be ignored for the time being, if it is discovered by the chaotic army, will it be served by others?
Although he didn't like it in his heart, Qian Sule's hints, although there was a suspicion of curse, Zhu Yihai also had to accept it, and had to consider it for the continuation of the incense for future generations, as Qian Sule hinted and reminded that if the old Fu King didn't flee separately, how could the son Zhu Yousong escape? How could there be a later Hongguang Emperor?
As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Yihai then set his eyes on the Jingyi General Mao Youlun, and explained earnestly: "General Mao, my family will be handed over to you." After I and Zhang Mingzhen and the others left, you immediately escorted my family to Taizhou Mansion and rushed to Taizhou Mansion, from where they took a boat to avoid trouble at sea. ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will obey the order!"
After Mao Youlun clasped his fists with both hands and bowed down to answer, Song Zhipu, a scholar of Dongge University, stood up and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to leave Shaoxing City in the last wave and sit in the city in order to stabilize the situation in the city, so as to create a false impression that the emperor is still in the city, used to confuse the enemy army and attract their attention." ”
"Your Majesty, Weichen is also willing to leave last, and then do his best to attract the attention of the rebellious army, so as to win more time for the emperor to transfer."
"Your Majesty, Weichen is also willing."
......
For a while, many civil and military officials saluted one after another, showing their loyalty, and Zhu Yihai was very moved, but he did not refuse, with tears in his eyes, and his voice responded with some hoarseness: "See the truth in times of crisis, you are really loyal ministers and good generals of the imperial court, and you are willing to put yourself in a dangerous situation in order for me to get out of danger." ”
The most Zhu Yihai's cabinet chief, the scheming Xiong Rulin is not as simple as Zhu Yihai thinks, and he will not naively think that these people are showing loyalty, but have other plans.
Looking at Jiangnan, there are not no loyal ministers, but there will never be so many!
