Chapter 14: Establishing Himself as King
Zhu Di was planning how to clean up Zhu Sang, and he heard the news he didn't want to hear!
"Damn it! He fled again! ”
"He still knows that he is afraid, why dare to come to Yangzhou!" Zhu Di scolded angrily.
The big monk on the side laughed happily. "It seems that the poor monks also underestimate the children of the Zhu family."
"If he can escape this catastrophe, His Royal Highness King Yan will have a difficult opponent!"
Zhu Di nodded angrily! "I have to say, this kid still has some ability!"
"But see how long he can escape! In a few days, Lone will be able to destroy him! Thinking that the land and water armies were about to converge, Zhu Di was full of confidence.
The great monk nodded lightly, he also felt that Zhu Sang could not escape! At this time, the hearts of the people and the army were all on the old emperor, and even the generals who commanded hundreds of thousands of troops did not dare to rebel rashly.
……
Before the fleet reached the mouth of the river, Zhu Sang received a battle report: the Jiangbei water camp had been broken by cavalry overnight.
With the combined efforts of the sailors, 3,000 sailors and 2,000 shipwrights were also captured.
When Zhu Sang's fleet entered the water camp, Lao Zhu, who was in charge of the Beijing Division, also received the battle situation at the mouth of the river.
The commander of the two tigers was too busy, so Lao Zhu released Jiang Zhen first.
As soon as he received the news, Jiang Zhen hurried to report! But that's not good news!
Before he could speak, Lao Zhu had an expectation, but he didn't know whether to be happy or angry!
"Your Majesty, the water camp was raided by the rebel cavalry overnight, and most of the Gujiangkou Water Division was captured, and the rebels are estimated to have arrived at the mouth of the river at this moment!"
After speaking, Jiang Zhen hurriedly lowered his head, for fear that Lao Zhu would be angry.
"Humph! This rebel! Ling Yan Wang ordered the cavalry of the Beijing battalion to speed up the pursuit of the Jingzhou Naval Division! ”
"Then order the coastal sailors to strictly guard the station! Inform the coastal cities to be on alert! After speaking, Lao Zhu waved his hand to let everyone retreat.
These orders are not too important, and he doesn't bother to review them!
As soon as the hall was cleared, Lao Zhu muttered to himself again. "Good boy really has two points of ability!"
"But will this rebel attack the coastal cities in the future?"
"If that's the case, our Zhu family will be embarrassed!"
On the other side, knowing that after Zhu Sang broke through the Jiangkou water camp, Zhu Di did not stop, but accelerated the march and ordered the Jiangkou Left Guards to assemble.
[The king of Yan has a sense of killing the host, and nearly 20,000 guards on the left are about to assemble, and the front of the Jingzhou Naval Division that is going down the river will arrive at noon tomorrow in the cavalry of the Yan Wang's department. ]
[Host can choose: a decisive battle at the mouth of the river, reward 5,000 sailors, reward 3,000 cavalry, reward 10,000 guards.] ]
Before the system was finished, Zhu Sang was already frowning and shaking his head. It would be useless for him to give more people now, and now he urgently needed a base that could accommodate his 40,000 people.
As for the trip to Fujian, we can only postpone it for now.
[2: Set up a rebel flag and establish himself as the king, and officially rebelled against the Ming Dynasty. Reward 10,000 sailors along the coast, reward 20,000 guards along the coast, and reward 3,000 light cavalry in the Beijing camp. ]
[Three: Escape from the Ming Dynasty and form an alliance with pirates, and the reward depends on the situation.] ]
"Pick second!" Zhu Sang didn't have to think about it, tens of thousands of people needed to be settled, and he didn't have the leisure to find pirates to form an alliance now.
Zhu Di had a throne when he was ten years old, and Zhu Sang had already had this idea, but the old Zhu didn't have time to pay attention to him as a sick man.
"Qin Zhouqi! Lao Zhu has enough sons, almost any king! ”
"You can't get a pirate king, a sea king! The name of King Han has long been harmed by Chen Youliang! ”
"King of the Earth! It's not good, just like the king of the earth, it's just the king of heaven! Hey, hey, I'm the king! Let's see if Lao Zhu will vomit blood angrily! "Even the Wako got an emperor, and Zhu Sang also felt that only the name of the king was worthy of his identity!
Originally, King Qin and King Tang were not bad, but unfortunately they were already occupied!
Thinking of the king, Zhu Sang summoned his subordinates to assemble in the open space on the shore.
He didn't make too many false courtesies, lit incense and candles, got a pig's head and pig's blood, and worshipped the sea.
"Today, my Zhusang officially broke away from the Ming Dynasty and established himself as the king of the world, and worshiped God in this face of the sea."
After Zhu Sang finished speaking, Niu Dang, He Shan and others hurriedly followed to worship.
After three bows, Zhu Sang turned around and shouted. "Today's solitary is the king of heaven."
"Meet the King!" At this time, the thousands of generals reacted.
"Meet the King of Heaven ~ Meet the King of Heaven ~"
More than 30,000 people then shouted one after another, and the earth-shaking sound made the nearby spies retreat for several miles in fright.
…
The distance was too far, and Lao Zhu didn't receive the news, otherwise he wouldn't be in the mood to hold a court meeting.
"The emperor's Yangzhou prefect has suffered too much damage outside the city of Yangzhou, and tens of thousands of people have been lost, so he begged the imperial court to remedy the ships and materials." After speaking, Qi Tai bowed respectfully, but he was secretly proud in his heart.
Zhong Wenwu immediately looked at Lao Zhu to see what the emperor said.
Lao Zhu frowned and said nothing! If it were someone else, he wouldn't be so embarrassed, but it was his rebel son who robbed Yangzhou, and the rebels were also from the armies of Yingtianfu!
After thinking about it, Lao Zhu spoke. "King Yan will gather tens of thousands of troops on land and water, and he will be able to recover the ships, goods and households in the near future, so that the prefect of Yangzhou will first pacify the place."
"It's the emperor!" Qi Tai didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.
Lan Yu secretly sneered! The civil officials may not know that the Jiangkou water camp has been broken!
Seeing that Lan Yu was still energetic, the unhappy old Zhu immediately glared at him.
"Lan Yu, you withdrew the army without permission, that is, you ordered the rebels to loot Yangzhou, are you guilty?"
"The emperor Lan Yu is not guilty! Our cavalry is only a few thousand, and how can we attack the water camp. Lan Yu immediately retorted, annoyed at the mention of this.
"Humph! If Lan Yu leads the Beijing battalion to contain the rebels, how dare Zhu Sang go to Yangzhou. Lao Zhu said angrily.
Hearing this, Lan Yu could only nod in shame. "The last general will be guilty and let the emperor dispose of it."
That being said, Lan Yu was unconvinced!
"Good! Let us make atonement for your sins, and tomorrow you will go to the coast to guard against thieves at sea. Lao Zhu said lightly.
"It's the emperor." Lan Yu raised his hand indifferently and bowed.
Lan Yu's attitude made Lao Zhu even more annoyed, but he knew that now was not the time to deal with him, not to mention that Zhu Sang's rebellion had not subsided.
At this time, the eunuch outside the main hall suddenly shouted. "The emperor's Jinyi guard commanded Jiang Zhen to ask to see."
"What's the matter with him! Hurry up! Lao Zhu frowned! I always feel a bad premonition!
After bowing and looking at the left and right Wenwu, Jiang Zhen didn't know whether to say it now!
"Why don't you say it soon?" Lao Zhu shouted angrily.
In a panic, Jiang Zheng had no choice but to shout loudly. "Emperor Qi, yesterday the rebellious Zhu Sang gathered more than 30,000 traitors and nearly 10,000 captives outside the Jiangkou water camp: burn incense and sacrifice Haiyan said: Break away from the Ming Dynasty and establish yourself as the king, and set up a number~"
"Humph! He also set himself up as king! Lao Zhu said disdainfully.
"What is his name?" Lao Zhu was also very curious.
If it weren't for Zhu Sang's previous appearance of a sick man, it would have been time for him to be crowned king!
"Your Majesty, the rebellious self-proclaimed King of the Human World!" Jiang Zhen said in shock.
"What?"
"Heavenly King?"
All the civil and military officials exclaimed one after another, and even Lan Yu was very shocked!
"Bastard! How dare he! How dare he! ”
"Decree King Yan to rebel against more than 30,000 people, all of them will be beheaded and no one will be left." Lao Zhu roared angrily.
Self-reliant king! That is, to stand on the head of his old Zhu, not only to rebel, but also to snatch his throne.
"Your Majesty, please immediately abolish the status of Prince Zhusang as his heir." Fang Xiaoru immediately asked to play.
Glancing at his grandson, Lao Zhu immediately nodded in agreement. "In the future, Zhu Sang will not be our royal heir! This thief, up and down the Ming Dynasty, everyone can get rid of it! ”
