Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 137 Another prison country

Zheng Jiwu, Marquis of Haining, seized the first merits faster than Li Yuchun sent troops.

Although Li Yuchun sent his cousin and general Li Yuanshan to lead 3000 men as a forward, but the soldiers had not yet left Jiashan. Zheng Jiwu, Marquis of Haining, and Zhu Dagang, Bo of Haiyan, had already mobilized, leading 1000 troops from Haiyan, plus a few others who had surrendered. Take a boat directly from the sea to Songjiang.

Before Li Yuanshan stopped and went out of Jiaxing, Zheng Jiwu had successfully raided the Jinshan Acropolis in Songjiang Mansion, passed the victory announcement, beheaded [-], captured [-], and recruited more than [-] puppet Ming rebels.

Yan Wogong, who was in Jiaxing, received the report, and reported to Zhang Cunren, governor of Hangzhou, and Xiao Qiyuan, governor of Hangzhou, and reported to Boluo, who was already on the way. At the same time, he himself rushed to Jinshanwei by boat.

When Boluo arrived in Tongxiang County, Mr. Yan delivered another memorial.

"Songjiang Mansion has already been recovered, Zheng Jiwu seized Jinshanwei and Huating, Zhu Dagang recovered Qingcun and Shanghai, Yan Wogong recruited Huating guards Shen Pan, Xie Mingyu, Ru Shiba and other people."

"Shen Youlong City broke down and hanged himself, Chen Zilong threw himself into the water, Xia Yunyi jumped the city wall, and He Fuyuan fled."

Yan Wogong recruited Shen Pan and others. After regaining Songjiang Mansion, Shen Pan was awarded the title of Chief Soldier, and he still guarded the city with the rank of deputy general. He also took Ru Shiba as a general to assist in the town of Shanghai, and Xie Mingyu as a general to assist in guarding Jinshan. Wei, and Li Yuanshan was stationed in Qingpu with Li Yuchun's subordinates...

"After the humble government recaptured the cities of Songjiang Prefecture, it immediately purged the landlords and other officials and gentry attached to the rebels. A total of more than [-] traitors were executed, and more than [-] homes were ransacked. Hair shaving orders were issued in various places in Songjiang, forcing all Hair shaving has already seen initial results."

Looking at the report, Boluo was very pleasantly surprised.

"This Mr. Yan is really amazing. If you don't make a move, it will be nothing. If you make a move, it will be amazing. He actually put down the rebellion in Songjiang Mansion so quickly."

"It is indeed a talent." Bai Yintu also said.

But Tong Yangjia believed that the rebellion of Shen Youlong and others was just like the rebellion of Tu Xiangmei and others in Jiaxing Prefecture.

Yan Wogong just took the credit and got a bargain.

Bo Luo didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, Mr. Yan is also working for the imperial court, and he is a loyal servant. In my opinion, if we bring him to Beijing this time, we have to ask the imperial court to enroll him in the flag."

"Tu Guobao is incompetent. Su Song is in such a mess. He is responsible. I think after entering Beijing, Yan Wogong can replace Tu Guobao as the governor of Jiangning."

"Indeed, there are not many such loyal and capable Han servants. Fan Wencheng is one, and so is Hong Chengchou. This Yan Wogong can be counted as the last one."

"Since Songjiang is flat, I can let Mr. Yan go north to Suzhou first, so we are not in a hurry."

"Well, the weather is terrible, the sun is too poisonous, the order will go down, and the whole army will rest for three days."

Guilin.

The place where King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty conferred feudal vassal status. The first king of Jingjiang was Zhu Shouqian, the great-nephew of Taizu. It is the only suzerain and vassal in Ming Dynasty who was not conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants, and his status has always been relatively special, lower than the prince, but higher than the county king.

The king of Lushi County is half of the prince, with [-] shi per year, ten thousand coins, and the rest is half of the prince.

When Zhu Shouqian was the first king of Jingjiang, he also conferred gold books and gold treasures of the prince's standard, and there was no farmland for the county king.

It has been passed down from generation to generation for more than two hundred years.

At this time, Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Qu Shixu, the governor of Guangxi, had already held the ceremony of reading the edict and went to congratulations. congratulations.

It's just that Ding Kuichu decided to return to Guangdong after learning that Jian Guo had initiated the Northern Expedition in Quzhou. Only Qu Shixu, the governor of Guangxi, continued to go north to congratulate him.

Under such circumstances, the original position of King Lu as supervisor of the country in Guangdong and Guangxi was already unshakable.

But Zhu Hengjia, King of Jingjiang in Guilin, recently heard some rumors that King Lu led his army to the Northern Expedition, suffered a series of defeats in western Zhejiang, and was beaten by a lieutenant named Li Yuchun.

After hearing the news, he was overjoyed, and summoned his confidants Sun Jinding and others to plot together, "There is no one in the world today. When my ancestors divided the enfeoffment, they said that the smoky land in Guangxi was unwilling to seal it off. At that time Empress Ma comforted her on her mission, and also bestowed on her the guards of the Eastern Palace."

"Nowadays there is no one in the world, and there is no one in the East Palace, so I, King Jingjiang, have Prince Yiwei, so am I the East Palace now?"

"I am the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who oversees the country, since my ancestors established the constitution, why not?"

"What King Yiyang and King Lu, what qualifications do they have to oversee the country? Are they worthy?"

Anyway, King Jingjiang has the same meaning. Everyone’s surname is Zhu, and they are all descendants of Zhu Wusi. Why can’t I be the supervisor of the country and the emperor?
King Fu, King Lu, King Yiyang, King Lu successively called Jian Guo, but they have all proved that they are not good enough, so in this world, I, the King of Jingjiang, have to go out. After all, Empress Ma gave my ancestor Zhu Shouqian the East Palace Rites Guardian.

Sun Jinding is also the kind of sycophant who usually accompanies King Jingjiang, and he is a criminal who was exiled to Guangxi. Agreed, and suggested, "To rebuild the imperial court, you must first have soldiers. Yang Guowei, the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, has always had a good relationship with His Highness, so you can call him to assist in major events."

King Jingjiang immediately summoned Yang Guowei, and he couldn't hold back after being tempted by the heroes of the dragon. After thinking about it, the world is in chaos. If King Lu is really defeated in the west of Zhejiang, then there will be no master in this world. The king is indeed qualified to aspire to the top of the world.

Yang Guowei was already the commander-in-chief. Originally, Hongguang Dynasty arranged for Huang Binqing to take over this position. He was dismissed because of something he had committed earlier. As a result, the Qing army went south too quickly, and Emperor Hongguang was too busy to take care of himself. Continue to occupy the position of Guangxi commander-in-chief.

But I always worry that one day another general will come to the north.

Thinking about it now, why don't we just support King Jingjiang? If things come to fruition, then he will be a minister of the dragon. In addition, King Jingjiang generously promised that in the future, if things come to pass, he will be made a duke of the state, and he will retire with the country. Yang Guowei immediately decided dry.

Then they called Gu Yi, the promotion officer of Guilin Mansion, and others, all of whom wanted to take advantage of the chaos to be Conglong heroes, so Sanzhang persuaded them to come in and add fuel to the flames.

Zhu Hengjia couldn't wait for a long time. He persuaded him three times in a day and accepted the advice without waiting for the next day.

Then the next day, he put on the yellow robe that he had prepared earlier, sat facing the south, and called himself Jian Guo, and the year was Hongwu 280 and seven years.

"Change Guilin, the capital of Guangxi, to Xijing."

"Worship Yang Guowei as a general and make Xingye Bo."

"Gathering Sun Jinding as Dongge University Bachelor, Gu Yi as Li Ke to Shizhong..."

Guangxi chief envoy Guan Shouzhen and Ti Xuedao Yu Chao participated in their support and were all given important positions.

At the same time, envoys were sent to Fujian, Guizhou and other places to issue edicts and appoint officials, calling for coyote Biaoyong to come from 45 caves in Liuzhou, Qingyuan, Zuojiang and Youjiang.

He also ordered people to summon Ding Kuichu, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Qu Shixu, the governor of Guangxi, and Zheng Feng, the governor of Guangxi.

Ding Kuichu came back from Quzhou, and when Zheng Feng, the inspector, arrived in Wuzhou, they were shocked when they heard the news of Jingfan's usurpation. After Lu Jianguo made a big splash in the north, he immediately stopped thinking about it, and even went to the north to congratulate him in person to show his loyalty.

Now that there are thousands of calculations, there is a king of Jingjiang in the backyard who also wants to be called Jian Guo. This Ming clan will die, and it will not be his turn.

"Isn't this nonsense?" Zheng Feng's beard trembled in anger.

They are all officials from Guangxi, so they naturally know how much this King Jingjiang is. If it is said that a virtuous king like King Tang wanted to stand up and lead everyone in troubled times, it would be reasonable to say that, but no one knows what this King Jingjiang is. goods.

"I really lost my mind and went crazy." Ding Kuichu was also very annoyed, and immediately called his banner officer, took out a flag and an order and handed it to him, telling him to rush to Chen Bangfu, the general of Si En, to keep him on guard.

He also took Wang Ming's flag and handed it to another flag officer, "You quickly take the Wang Ming flag to Zuojiang and inform the chieftain of Cave 45 that all wolf soldiers must not obey the order of King Jingjiang."

After doing all this, he issued the king's command flag, ordering all the officers and soldiers near Wuzhou to gather in Wuzhou to help defend the city.

Ding Kuichu also sent a superintendent to intercept King Jingjiang's envoy, and at the same time quickly reported to Shaoxing, and asked Qu Shixu to return to Guangxi to assist in suppressing the rebellion.

For a while, the situation in Wuyue was turbulent, but Guangxi in the rear started fighting again.

King Jingjiang of Guilin did not expect Ding Kuichu to come back in time at this critical moment, and his attitude was so firm.

He first sent Gu Yi as an envoy to Wuzhou with an imperial edict, worshiped Ding Kuichu as a scholar of Wuyingdian and Minister of the Ministry of War, and then the governor of Fujian and Guangdong, and gave him the Earl of Nanning, and worshiped Qu Shixu as a scholar of Dongge and Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. He wanted to win over the two through high-ranking officials and rich salary.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Gu Yi entered Wuzhou, he was captured by Ding Kuichu, and then he was pushed out and beheaded without saying a word. His head was hung on the top of Wuzhou city.

When King Jingjiang heard the news, he was almost stunned. He couldn't understand, where did Ding Kuichu have the courage to oppose him like this?
"I want to personally conquer Ding Ni!"

"The proposed decree is to take Yan Tianfeng and Fan Youxian as generals and act as the left and right vanguards. They will go south along the Lijiang River, first take Wuzhou, and then go to Guangdong. Xingye Bo Yang Guowei will stay in Guilin with his son!"

Chen Bangfu, the general of Si En, was originally Sun Jinding's son and daughter in-laws. He usually fights fiercely, but at this time he has more information than King Jingjiang. When Ding Kuichu returned to Guangxi, when he was in Quzhou, he saw with his own eyes that Huguang, Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang all supported the establishment of Lu Jianguo with great momentum.

When Chen Bangfu saw Ding Kuichu's flag officer, he didn't stand still. Instead, he immediately ordered the elite of his headquarters and went north to Guilin by boat. The bow of the boat specially displayed the sign of "Welcome to Ruijia" to paralyze King Jingjiang. Said that he wanted to seek rebellion for the country, and at the same time wrote a letter to his in-law Sun Jinding, saying that he was willing to lead his troops to support him and welcome Jian Guo into Wuzhou.

In the end, they really believed it. Their warship sailed to the Jingjiang King's army easily, and then waited until midnight, when they suddenly launched an attack. Chen Bangfu took the lead and rushed into the Jingjiang King's army, setting fires everywhere. There seemed to be a lot of people in Wuhe, but when they were attacked, they immediately broke up and fled in all directions. King Jingjiang fled all the way back to Guilin in embarrassment.

Chen Bangfu captured Sun Jinding, the in-law of his son and daughter alive, and cut off his head with a single knife, and asked his men to pickle it with lime. He was going to send it to Tokyo to let the elders see clearly.

Chen Bangfu took advantage of the situation to pursue and killed him to the city of Guilin, and Ding Kuichu also led the supervisor to arrive.

After besieging Guilin, Jiao Lian, the Chinese army under Yang Guowei, took the initiative to send someone to surrender. It turned out that he and Yang Guowei had old grievances.

In the middle of the night, Jiao Lian personally led his cronies and pulled Chen Bangfu's elite servants up to the city with ropes, then opened the city gate, broke through Guilin City in one fell swoop, and captured Yang Guowei and King Jingjiang alive.

So King Jingjiang rebelled, and he was brought down within seven days.

Ding Kuichu ordered Chen Bangfu to personally lead the troops to escort King Jingjiang, Yang Guowei and his puppet officials to Tokyo.

The news that the King of Jingjiang in Guangxi claimed to be the supervisor of the country, and was pacified by the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi in seven days, also spread quickly.

In Changsha, He Tengjiao, the governor of Huguang, also soon received the news from the north of Lingqu, and was deeply shocked.

He didn't expect the old fox Ding Kuichu to support Lu Jianguo so resolutely this time, and to act so quickly. Changsha is not far from Guilin.

Thinking of the secret letter sent back from Zhejiang, He Tengjiao became a little irritable, and his mouth was full of fire bubbles all night, and it hurt to drink water.

Lu Jianguo wanted to call him into the cabinet and let Zhu Dadian replace him. He even added the title of governor of seven provinces, two provinces more than his original title of governor of five provinces.

He Tengjiao didn't want to leave Huguang, but what happened in Guangxi now made him very embarrassed. Zhu Dadian and Du Yinxi will be back soon.

"Butler, pack your things and prepare to go to Tokyo."

In the end, He Tengjiao could only sigh. From the incident in Guangxi, he saw the majesty of Lu Jianguo. I am afraid that the end will not be good.

Obviously, Du Yinxi still stood on the side of Lu Jianguo after all, and asked him to go to He Jianguo. Originally, he wanted Jianguo to grant more cheap power to them in Huguang, and to accept him before A series of civilian and military generals appointed, but who would have thought that in the end, they would get themselves out of the game.

This Lu Jianguo is really straightforward and decisive.

But when I think that I am just a civil servant, if it is a general like Zuo Liangyu who holds a heavy army, maybe he can still have the capital to resist the edict, but now even Du Yinxi, the governor of Huguang, is not on his side, how can he resist? ?

There is no need to send troops from the east of Zhejiang, just blocking Yinxi to appease the Zhongzhen Thirteenth Battalion of the general system is enough to take Changsha down, and even if he resists the edict, I am afraid that there are not many generals in Changsha Really stand with him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling disheartened. At the beginning, he jumped from Zuo Liangyu's boat and single-handedly carried the crisis in Huguang, but now, the situation has just improved, but he is the first one to be kicked out.
