On the sixth day of the fifth lunar month of Yongli, early in the morning, Nanning was rainy and rainy.

Zhu Youlang, as usual, walked to the main hall.

At this time, before nine o'clock, the main hall was empty and deserted.

Zhu Youlang sat down on the dragon chair and flipped through the meaningless movements.

The fugitive Southern Ming Dynasty court is sad enough, relying on the 5,000 guards stationed by Sun Kewang, the court has lost its dignity and prestige.

Defense is the first priority of the imperial court, but defense matters are all decided by Sun Kewang's subordinates He Jiuyi and Zhang Shizhi, and Zhu Youlang and his civil and military officials of the imperial court are not as good as farting.

The court is loose and dragging, but it doesn't make much sense to go up or not, it's just a show.

After nine o'clock, the ministers of the previous dynasty slowly walked towards the main hall, there were only more than 30 ministers, but they slowly arrived at ten o'clock.

Before the court meeting began, a guard hurried into the main hall.

"Emperor, Emperor......" Because of panic, the guard threw himself to the ground, his mouth directly on the hard stone slab, knocking out a front tooth.

"Little fourth son, what are you anxious about, get up and report slowly." Zhu Youlang looked at the little fourth son and said.

Xiao Sizi got up, his mouth was full of blood, he didn't bother to wipe it, and hurriedly said, "The Qing soldiers have attacked the city." ”

Kong Youde, who successively occupied Guilin, Quanzhou, and Xunzhou, sent his subordinates to lead troops along the west of the Jiangxi to attack Nanning, and Nanning suddenly came to the city.

The minister who came to the court to discuss it looked at the little fourth son and laughed just now, but now when he heard that the enemy army was attacking the city, he suddenly panicked.

"Your Majesty, Sun Kewang's guards are unreliable, so let's flee quickly!" University scholar Wu Zhenyu persuaded.

"Your Majesty, what Lord Wu said is true, you should make a decision quickly" The officials all echoed Lord Xu.

"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that an order be issued quickly to order He Jiuyi and Zhang Shizhi to resist with all their might." University scholar Anwen reported on the front.

"Edit Lord Liu, go and pass on an edict to He Jiuyi and Zhang Shizhi, telling them to lead the guards to resist with all their might, and not allow the Qing soldiers to cross the city for half a step." Zhu Youlang stood up from the dragon chair and ordered.

Sun Kewang has been crowned King of Qin, and the Qing army has invaded, so he should send troops to defend it.

"Hey, minister, let's go." Liu Bianxiu walked out of the hall quickly, but collided with Li Kang, the guard who hurriedly ran into the hall.

Li Dare didn't bother to say sorry to Liu Bianxiu, so he rushed into the main hall: "Your Majesty, the guards fled without a fight, and the Qing soldiers have rushed into the city gate." ”

Sun Kewang was originally an unreliable person, although he sent 5,000 troops to defend Nanning, but as soon as the Qing troops attacked Nanning, He Jiuyi and Zhang Shizhi fled without a fight and gave up Nanning.

When Liu Bianxiu heard Li Kang's report, there was no need to pass on the decree, so he returned to the main hall: "Your Majesty, Nanning has fallen, flee quickly." ”

"Ministers, quickly pack up your belongings and evacuate by boat from Ningzhou Wharf."

"Li Guotai, quickly dispatch all the guards of the imperial court to escort you, and I will evacuate immediately."

Nanning, the last territory of the Southern Ming Dynasty, fell, and Zhu Youlang, who had no soldiers and no soldiers, was unable to resist at all, so he had to make this decision.

Fortunately, last night, Zhu Youlang found danger from the divine map given to him by Zhu Cijiao, and according to the divine picture, he left Nanning by boat overnight.

The boat traveled to Setuan, because the river was too shallow to sail, Li Guotai placed the Yongli Emperor's family on a small hill, and escorted the boat back to Ningzhou Wharf, waiting to pick up Zhu Youlang.

When Li Guotai arrived at the main hall, it was the time of the last dynasty, and the ministers were entering the hall in a sparse manner.

He hadn't closed his eyes all night, and he was a loyal and conscientious eunuch, and he received an order from the emperor to immediately mobilize the guards of the imperial court in place.

He counted the number of people, and the total number of his own guards in the Yongli Imperial Court was only one hundred and twenty-eight, but thirty-one resigned immediately, and only ninety-seven actually stayed to escort them.

"Report to the emperor, the guards have been mobilized in place, a total of ninety-seven people, please move the emperor!" A few minutes later, Li Guotai ran to the main hall to report.

"Okay, let's go." Zhu Youlang carried the briefcase he was carrying, strode out of the hall, and went straight to the Ningzhou wharf.

The ninety-seven guards who stayed behind were all loyal men who were willing to escort Zhu Youlang to escape, and they held weapons in their hands, surrounded Zhu Youlang in front and back, and hurriedly evacuated to the Ningzhou wharf.

Zhu Youlang, who was inspired by Zhu Ci's divine plan, had the foresight to arrange for Li Guotai's spare ten ships to wait at the dock.

Who knows, when Zhu Youlang Junchen arrived at the dock and was about to get on the boat, hundreds of cavalry of the Qing army chased after the dock.

"Li Kang, you take a team of guards to escort the emperor to the ship, and the other guards come forward to block the Qing soldiers." Li Guotai saw that the pursuers were menacing, and immediately gave an order.

More than forty guards quickly drew their swords and lined up, stopping the Qing soldiers who were chasing. Suddenly, the Yongli guards and the chasing Qing soldiers started a fierce battle.

A few guards with good kung fu, wielding sharp swords, cut down a few Qing cavalry, buying time for the emperor to board the ship. Seeing this, the other ministers rushed to the ship as if they were fleeing for their lives.

Seeing that the emperor and the ministers had boarded the boat and sailed away from the dock, Li Guotai shouted loudly: "Withdraw!" Retreat to the ship! ”

After the guards heard Li Guotai's order, more than 30 guards fought and retreated, and successfully got on the boat, while more than a dozen guards died by the river.

It's dangerous! As soon as Li Guotai and more than 30 guards boarded the ship and sailed away from the dock, a large force of the Qing army had already chased them to the dock and shot arrows at the boat.

The guards happened to have their swords in their hands, and they waved their swords one after another, stopping the arrows in the river.

The Qing soldiers fired a burst of arrows, and when they saw that the ship had sailed out of the range of the arrows, they immediately mobilized the ships at the pier and boarded the ship in pursuit.

"Accelerate, accelerate, hurry up and keep up with the fleet ahead." Li Guotai stood on the bow of the last broken boat and said loudly.

The boatman drove his horsepower to the maximum and sailed up the river "suddenly", and soon caught up with the nine boats in front.

The fleet bypassed a mountain bend and finally left the Qing army's chasing ships behind, and Zhu Youlang and the ministers were hanging on the road before they let go.

Only then did Zhu Youlang understand why Zhu Ciyi's divine map implied that he went up the river, and it turned out that the further he went, the narrower the river became, which was not convenient for the army to fight and was conducive to escape.

The fleet traveled for two hours, and everyone thought that the Qing soldiers would not catch up, and some ministers fell asleep leaning on the boat.

"Look, there are a lot of ships, and the Qing soldiers have caught up." I don't know who shouted.

Those who fell asleep with this shout also woke up.

Everyone looked back, and the river behind them was black and oppressive, full of brisk ships, estimated to be no less than fifty, and the boats were all armed Qing soldiers.

At this time, a shout came from the boat: "Zhu Youlang, stop the ship and surrender, otherwise, the front is your hiding place." ”

Seeing this formation of the Qing army, there is a great tendency to annihilate Zhu Youlang here.

"Quick, the boat will go faster!" Li Guotai stood at the bow of the boat and ordered the boatman loudly.

However, the boatman drove at full speed, and the boat was so loud that it couldn't go fast, and even stopped after traveling a few hundred meters.

"Oh no, the water level is too low for the boat to move forward." The boatman shook his head helplessly.

"Your Majesty, the Qing soldiers are about to catch up, what should I do?"

"Your Majesty, surrender, or everyone will die here."

Seeing the pursuers behind them getting closer and closer, the ministers suddenly rioted.

……

"The prince has arrived!" A voice that seemed to pierce the sky came from ahead.

"The prince has arrived!" The same voice rang out again.

The people on the boat followed the sound and saw a small boat rowing head-on from upstream.

At the bow of the boat stood a handsome young man, with long hair tied behind him, a yellow trench coat blown by the river wind, a sword on his body, and a sharp gaze looking straight ahead.

Next to the handsome young man stood a young girl, slightly shorter than the young man, wearing a blue curved shirt, long hair and a shawl, a delicate face, bright eyes, and looked very capable.

The rower was a white-haired old man, not only with white hair but also with white eyebrows, but with exceptionally strong hands, rowing with great effort......

"It's the prince, it's the prince, the prince is here! There is no endless road! Zhu Youlang stood up and said loudly......
