Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 53
Zhu Yihai never thought that he would fight with his own people before he formally fought against the Tartars.

Many people in the camp disapproved of Chen Wu's handling. This was the first serious disagreement since the monarchs and ministers gathered for righteousness, but Zhu Yihai did not back down and compromise.

He also knew that this kind of internal fighting should not be done at this time, and he should first unify his guns and defend against the Tartars.After all, the saying that you must first settle down in the outside world has been scolded by countless people.

But walking all the way from Cixi, he couldn't pretend not to see the tragic scenes in Minghe, Songpu and other towns.

In the end, Zhu Yihai still insisted on his own ideas, it is right to fight against foreign enemies together, but people like Chen Wu still have to see and deal with each other.

The troubled times are more perilous, and if you don't pay attention, you may be doomed.

For King Yiyang, he has already decided to send two scholars, Dong Zhining and Huaxia, to Chongming to meet him, and formally proposed to join forces to fight against the Qing.Whoever has the ability to recover Nanjing in advance will be the emperor.

Zhu Yihai is serious. With the current situation, it is very difficult to regain Nanjing. It is very difficult to reach the blue sky. There is no chance of fluke. Therefore, whoever can regain Nanjing will indeed have the ability to revitalize Ming Dynasty, and it is a matter of course to be an emperor.

Zhu Yihai also believes that to regain Nanjing, who else can I.

At this time, they are not in a hurry to compete, but to make such an agreement is also to actively release goodwill and prevent the two families from fighting first.

Chen Wu is just a general in a troubled place, Zhu Yihai positioned him as a mutiny, I hope King Yiyang can understand.

Zhu Yihai is in Zhejiang, and Yiyang Wang is in Nanzhi, and the two sides divide the territory temporarily based on this.

He didn't know whether King Yiyang could accept this proposal, but this was already his last bottom line.

It is impossible for Zhu Yihai to abdicate and return to the vassal. He needs the title of supervisor to fight against the banner of Qing Dynasty.If worshiping the King of Yiyang is the main thing at this time, since the King of Yiyang and his ministers have not set off a wave of development in history, there is no way out for them.

You must stick to your own path!
noon.

Wang Zhiren arrived.

He brought two battalions of troops to sweep up the rebellious soldiers, and the results were good. Of those rebellious soldiers under Chen Wu who scattered the countryside to plunder, none of them could fight, or in other words, he didn't expect the soldiers of Lu Jianguo to attack so decisively. or die.

"The minister captured about [-] rebel soldiers, and basically all the rebel soldiers were captured, and they were not allowed to disperse and cause disaster to the village."

Wang Zhiren worked hard all night, and his body smelled of sweat.

Zhu Yihai personally served him a large bowl of stewed horse meat.

"Do you know Zhang Guozhu?" Zhu Yihai asked.

"Liu Zeqing used to have a general named Zhang Guozhu who was good at riding and shooting. He had two battalions of archers under him. They were very brave and elite. He heard that after Liu Zeqing surrendered, he didn't want to follow and took his men to the east." Wang Zhiren replied.

"This Zhang Guozhu joined Chen Wu's command, and now he has three thousand men, one of which is a battalion of [-] archers. He brought the bravery from Jianghuai. Chen Wu asked Zhang Guozhu to lead the troops to Dinghai earlier, intending to plunder our rear. "

Wang Zhiren ate the horse meat, speeded up, and finished a large bowl of meat in twos and threes.

He wiped his mouth indiscriminately, "Your Excellency, please bring your troops back to Dinghai."

Zhu Yihai nodded, "Although there is General Xiao Wang in Dinghai, Qian Sule in Yincheng, Wu Kai and Prime Minister Wang in Shipu and Haimen, I'm afraid they will be caught off guard."

"In this way, Gu will hand over the Fifth Army Battalion and the Three Thousand Battalion to you to take back to quell the rebellion. In addition, you can choose some people from the rebellious soldiers here to supplement. Or if Gu Gu wants Zhang Mingzhen to go with you to quell the rebellion."

Wang Zhiren thanked him, "It is enough for me to have five battalions and three thousand battalions, and the speed of soldiers is precious."

"Put Chen Wu's head on. If Zhang Guojun understands the current affairs and is willing to surrender, he will not have to use his sword. If he is willing to withdraw to Nanzhi, he can leave him alone. If he is willing to surrender, Gu can give him the post of lieutenant general, but if he dares If you want to attack Ningbo, then you don’t have to be polite, I promise you to kill first and play later.”

"As for Huang Binqing and Wang Chaoxian, if they also send troops to attack, just fight them directly."

After this incident, Zhu Yihai now has no hope for Huang Binqing at all, and he occupies an important place in Zhoushan, so he must be taken down.

It's just that he still has to go to Shaoxing now, so Wang Zhiren was left to return to help first. After he settles down in Shaoxing, he will definitely have to send troops to fight Huang Binqing again.

Wang Zhiren nodded silently, the former commander of the Japanese town was so angry that he couldn't wait to go back and kill them.

"Huang Binqing's sailors, Chaoxian's white spearmen, and the archers of this national pillar are all brave and elite. Wang Qing must be careful."

"I understand."

Wang Chaoxian was originally a Sichuan chieftain, and he was ordered to fight in Liaodong. In the last years of Chongzhen, he had been leading the army abroad, and he had no chance to return to Sichuan with his [-] white-rod Sichuan soldiers.

Although the white spearmen under his command are not as good as those of the Qin Liangyu family in Shizhu, Chongqing, they are also known for their bravery and skill in fighting.If there is a chance, Zhu Yihai is actually willing to recruit Zhang Guozhu, Wang Chaoxian, and even Huang Binqing and others, but seeing the current situation, he can only fight first.

"The minister takes orders."

In the afternoon, the monarchs and ministers chatted for a while, and when the sun was westward and the heat dissipated, Zhu Yihai and Wang Zhiren divided their troops in Songpu.

Zhu Yihai and Zhang Mingzhen continued northward to Shaoxing with Shenji, Yongwei Second Battalion, Banner Bearer Battalion, and Zhejiang Zhenbiao Battalion Four Battalions, together with more than a thousand rebels picked out, also 5000 troops.

The two armies set off at the same time.

At this time, the gentry brigade accompanying Ningbo knew that there had just been a pacification of chaos, and vaguely heard that there was a Yiyang king in Nanzhi who supervised the country, and there were many discussions.

······
Ningbo, Dinghai.

Wang Mingqian, a member of the Dinghai City Association Battalion, stayed behind with the rank of deputy general, and was busy training his team of the Association Battalion. His servant came to report that a fleet of ships had arrived from the northern sea, carrying a large number of soldiers and horses. up.

Someone on board asked to see him.

When Wang Mingqian saw the visitor, the other party claimed to be a member of the General Zhang Guozhu's personal army, and he explained everything.

I heard that Zhang Guozhu was originally a general under Liu Zeqing's command, but now he couldn't stand in Nanzhi, so he had to collect some ships and lead five hundred archers to the south to join Wang Zhiren, Wang Mingqian inquired carefully, and his heart moved.

Zhang Guozhu, one of the five hundred elite archers, came to shoot, which in his opinion was a good thing.

One is that the opponent is a veteran of Jianghuai, and the other is that the opponent has not many soldiers. If he accepts it, it will just strengthen his own strength.

After Wang Zhiren was promoted to the governor of the Beijing camp, the soldiers in the hands of Wang's father and son were reorganized and reorganized into three battalions.

Although Zhang Mingzhen, the new commander-in-chief, is from his own family, in this troubled world, it is more capital to have a strong soldier on hand.

After some examinations, Wang Mingqian decided to welcome Zhang Guozhu to Dinghai in person, first place him here, and then write a letter to his father later.

Shark off.

Zhang Guozhu stood on the deck of the ship, quietly looking ahead.

"Junmen, Wang Mingqian is coming with his own soldiers."

"How did he say?"

"Wang Mingqian agreed with Junmen to go to Dinghai, and put forward a condition. He can request to be stationed in Dinghai for Junmen and join the same city camp as a general, but Junmen has to divide half of the five hundred elite archers under his command."

Zhang Guozhu laughed loudly, "Wang Jiuru's brat has a big appetite. He wanted to swallow half of my archers when he came here. Damn it, I have been in the Central Plains so far, and I only have the capital of five hundred archers left in my hand. It's half as soon as it comes."

Chief Qian of the Chinese Army under his command laughed, "He wants to swallow half of our archers, but he doesn't know that we are also using this as bait to win him into the sea."

"Hahaha."

Everyone laughed together.

"The archers are ready. After a while, when the kid comes, I will give him an order to take him down. If this kid is sensible, let him be spared. If not, shoot him to death with random arrows."

Although Zhang Guozhu didn't follow Liu Zeqing to the Qing Dynasty, he was by no means a good person.

Anyway, in troubled times, there is no absolute good or bad.

He gave up Liu Zeqing, and then voted under Chen Wu's command. Now that he came to the south, he naturally wanted to find a piece of land.Chen Wu promised him to capture Ningbo, and when the time came he would be given the vice general of Ning Shao, and give him the territory of Ningbo and Shaoxing, so he was naturally happy to come.In troubled times, it is not enough to have soldiers, one must also have money and territories.

With a territory, more soldiers can be recruited, and more salaries can be collected, so that the strength can be maintained.

He used to have several thousand archers when he was under Liu Zeqing's command, but now there are only five hundred elite archers left, and the remaining 3000 troops are also short of pay and need a place.

"Does the army think that Governor Chen has taken King Lu?"

"It should be almost there."

No one paid much attention to that Lu Jianguo.

Even in the eyes of Zhang Guozhu and others, the Yiyang King Jianguo on Chongming Island is nothing more than that, not much better than Hongguang, Lu Jianguo, etc. They have no confidence in whether Huangming Zhu's family is still alive , But who cares, it doesn't affect them acting under the banner of the Zhu family.

Wang Mingqian came with only thirty soldiers on horseback.

It's not because of his entrustment, but because he thinks that Zhang Guozhu is poor, and he heard that there are only [-] archers, so there is no threat. , The dynasty first waited for the south to grab the territory.

I really thought that Zhang Guozhu couldn't stay in Nanzhi anymore, and he was still thinking about how to recruit this team and expand his strength along the way.

When Wang Mingqian came to Zhang Guozhu's temporary camp on the bank, he realized that something was wrong. There were more than five hundred archers.

At this moment, I felt uneasy, but it was too late.

He was invited to the big tent in the camp.

Zhang Guozhu put on his armor and greeted him with a smile on his face.

"General Wang Shen, please hand over your soldier seal letter!"

"From now on, Dinghai and the Dinghai Assisted Defense Battalion will officially be under the command of this general."

Wang Mingqian stretched out his hand and drew his sword, just as he touched the hilt, Zhang Guozhu's personal soldiers had already aimed more than a dozen bows at him.

"You want to rebel?" Wang Mingqian scolded.

Zhang Guozhu laughed, "Please allow me to introduce myself first. I am Zhang Guozhu, the general of Ning Shao who was entrusted by King Jianguo of Yiyang, Chongming. Well, I will be the deputy general of Zhejiang to guard Ning Shao soon. I also ask General Wang to cooperate." a bit!"

Wang Mingqian was stunned on the spot.
