Chapter 27: Fight the Enemy

"Report, the Qing soldiers moved to Guilin City, and they are now eight miles away from Guilin City."

"Report, 20,000 Qing soldiers in Guangdong are marching towards Guilin."

In Guilin, as soon as the ministers came down to the court, the guards guarding the city entered the palace one after another to report.

"I order, all officers and soldiers guarding the city, stick to their posts, don't panic."

Zhu Youlang, who had just returned to the study from the court, received a report from the enemy, and he decided to stabilize the morale of the army first, and then make a decision after consulting with Prince Huaichou.

After the previous incidents, Zhu Youlang's minister gradually lost much hope, and he became more and more dependent on the prince's dream.

Sun Youde mobilized 20,000 Qing soldiers from Guangdong, coerced Guilin, and pressed the border with heavy troops, which had the potential to destroy the Southern Ming court in Guilin.

The enemy is about to attack the city, Zhu Youlang urgently needs the dream of the prince to give advice, he leaned back in the chair, just closed his eyes slightly, and then entered the dream.

The dream support function of this dragon protection system is also too powerful, Zhu Youlang can fall asleep anytime and anywhere, and as long as he dreams, he can see Zhu Ciyu.

In the dream, Zhu Cijiao was summoned to the palace to receive the order.

"Gonggong Li, proclaim the decree." Zhu Youlang sat on the dragon chair and raised his right hand gently.

"Huh."

"The prince Zhu Ci received the order." Gonggong Li unfolded the holy decree with both hands.

Zhu Cijiao immediately knelt on the ground with both feet, facing the emperor, and his hands on the ground.

"Emperor Yongli, summoned: The prince Zhu Cijiao, witty and thoughtful, intelligent, bright-minded, meritorious in escort, specially appointed as the prince of Huaichou. Chin. ”

"Son-in-law Xie Zu Longen!" Zhu Cijiao knocked his head to the ground.

"Prince Huai, please be even."

"Thanks, Your Majesty."

"At present, the Qing army has the potential to destroy my Nanming, what should the prince say?"

"Emperor Qiqi, although the Qing army is strong, don't think that Nanming is easy to destroy, as long as the father is alive, Nanming will never die."

"Now that the enemy is about to attack the city, what is the prince's good plan?"

"Back to my father, the city wall of Guilin is strong, it can be held for five days, although it can't be won, but it can be hit hard, and the sons have three strategies: hidden bullets, borrowed arrows, and bee stings, which can compete with the Qing army."

"What are cannons, borrowed arrows, and bee stings? Please say a word or two. ”

"The so-called hidden bomb is to make a bomb with gunpowder, set up a hidden drop point on the city wall, and wait for the Qing soldiers to get close to the city wall, drop the bomb, and blow it up."

"The so-called borrowed arrows, that is, the guards of the city each prepare a solid wooden plank, when the Qing soldiers attack with arrows, one is used to prevent arrows, and the other is to collect arrows, and when the Qing soldiers enter the city, the arrows rain on them."

"The so-called bee sting, that is, summoning all kinds of poisonous bees in the mountains and fields, when the Qing soldiers attack the city, make the bees sting to death the Qing soldiers, and at the same time fire ten thousand arrows."

After Zhu Youlang heard this, he repeatedly applauded: "The prince's strategy was taken by surprise, and I adopted it all, and I will deploy it." ”

"Father, there is nothing else to do, the ministers there will retire."

The figure of the prince flickered for a moment, and then disappeared.

"Li Guotai." Zhu Youlang shouted loudly.

"The slave is here, what does the emperor have to say?" Li Guotai hurriedly ran into the study.

"You quickly summon Zhang Yi, Zhang Tongchang, and Qu Shiyun to enter the hall quickly."

"Huh."

When Li Guotai withdrew, Zhu Youlang got up and came to the main hall and sat on the dragon chair to wait.

A bag of cigarettes, Zhang En, Zhang Tongchang, and Qu Shiyun entered the hall one after another.

"Kong Youde has transferred 20,000 Qing soldiers to reinforce me, and he is bent on destroying my Ming Dynasty." Zhu Youlang paused for a moment and continued.

"I have discussed with the prince, and the prince suggested that the three strategies of concealing bullets, borrowing arrows, and stinging bees should be used to defend against the enemy.

"The so-called dark bomb is ......"

Zhu Youlang repeated in detail what Prince Huai Huai had just said about hidden bullets, borrowed arrows, and bee stings.

The three adults listened and kept nodding.

"High!"

"Wonderful!"

"Wonderful!"

Yi Ning said that this was a dream, and it was difficult to say that it was a curtain to listen to the government.

"The three adults agree with this policy, so please ask Zhang Tongbing to be responsible for the hidden bullet, Master Qu to be responsible for borrowing arrows, and Master Zhang to be responsible for bee stings, how about it?"

In order to organize and implement these three strategies to resist the enemy, Zhu Youlang clarified the division of labor between the three adults.

"Obey the order, and then go down and prepare."

Zhang Yi and Qu Shiyun both walked out of the main hall in response, but only Zhang Tongchang did not respond but stood still.

"Master Zhang, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"Back to the emperor, the bee stings in charge of the ministers, the poisonous bees in the mountains, which ones can be summoned?" Zhang Tongchang looked at Zhu Youlang, and the six gods had no owner.

Zhu Youlang thought about it, not to mention that Zhang Tongchang couldn't summon the poisonous bee, and he couldn't summon it himself.

But why did the prince come up with this strategy? Could it be that the prince can summon poisonous bees?

Zhu Youlang motioned for Zhang Tongchang to withdraw, he leaned back on the dragon chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, thinking about this question.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youlang fell asleep unconsciously.

It's strange to say, during this time, Zhu Youlang always fell asleep, and he dreamed that Zhu Ciyu walked into the main hall-

……

"Ci Yao, you came just in time, the bee sting tactics you just talked about, summoning poisonous bees, how to summon them?" Zhu Youlang said eagerly.

"Father, you don't have to worry about this, just leave it to me. I forgot to tell you about it. Zhu Cijiao said.

"What's the matter, you can tell it."

Zhu Youlang didn't open his eyes, but still closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Guilin's current military strength and material support can only hold out for five days at most, and my father has to think about retreating in advance."

"What the son said is what he should do now?"

"Back to my father, I think that now let my mother and family retreat to Wuzhou first, so as not to retreat and take care of it at that time."

"Will the early retreat of the family affect the morale of the army?"

"There will be a certain impact, retreat quietly! This matter should be fast, and while the Qing army has not attacked the city, hurry up and retreat. ”

"Okay, I'll arrange it."

……

"Li Guotai."

Zhu Youlang called Li Guotai's name in his dream.

"The slave is here, what does the emperor have to say?"

Li Guotai, who was waiting next door, walked quickly to Zhu Youlang's side.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Seeing that Zhu Youlang was asleep, he shouted twice.

Only then did Zhu Youlang wake up.

"Gonggong Li, where is the prince? He's just here to report to me. ”

"Your Majesty, the servants have been waiting in the palace, and I haven't seen the prince come in."

Zhu Youlang realized that it was Zhu Ci's dream just now.

"Father-in-law Li, you go and arrange it, and send my family back to Wuzhou quietly."

"Hey, the slave obeys, so let's arrange it." Li Guotai came to the harem and reported to the queen.

"The servant reports, the emperor has a decree, please return to Wuzhou in secret from the harem family, and the queen will see when she can leave."

"Set off in half an hour, and I'll tell the little moth to go down." After fleeing from Zhaoqing to Wuzhou, Wuzhou to Pingle, and Pingle to Guilin, Queen Wang has experience in escaping.

A few days ago, Zhu Ci asked her to tell her the date when Guilin was broken by the Qing army, and she was ready to flee in advance.

"The servants have to stay to serve the emperor, and they can't escort the queen, and all the guards in the harem accompany the queen." Li Guotai made arrangements for escorting the family members of the harem.

"The emperor's escort is Gonggong Li." It seems to be like life and death, Queen Wang really can't rest assured that Zhu Youlang, when she said this, her eyes were moist.

"Queen, you can withdraw with peace of mind, the emperor is the mandate of heaven, and the Qing army can't do anything about it." Li Guotai tried his best to comfort Queen Wang.

Half an hour has arrived, and Li Guotai quietly sent more than 50 people from Guilin City through the secret passage, Queen Wang and her harem family.

Four guards and more than 20 family members formed an escort team, and on the same day, Queen Wang and her family quietly moved to the former Guiwang Mansion in Wuzhou for temporary refuge.
