The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Zhu Youlang was shocked after reading it.

The hundred-man army that came was so well-equipped and had such a strong temperament that it was indeed enough to defeat ten of them.

Coupled with the unexpectedness, it shouldn't be difficult to lead him out of Prince Mu's Mansion.

However, it may be impossible to escape from Kunming.

therefore.

After regaining consciousness, Zhu Youlang asked hesitantly: "Mr. Fang, do you really want these people to take me out of Kunming?"

Fang Zhenru smiled and said, "Of course not - there are tens of thousands of troops in Kunming now. Although they belong to different parties, only a hundred people can kill them."

"Besides, if Your Majesty only escaped from Kunming on his own, even if he surrendered, how could he have achieved great success?"

Zhu Youlang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that there was no need to risk his way out of Kunming City.

Then he asked: "What are you going to do, sir?"

Fang Zhenru said: "Your Majesty, I would like to invite everyone in the imperial court to surrender together."

With that said, Fang Zhenru approached Zhu Youlang and whispered in his ear.

Zhu Youlang was shocked at first after hearing this.

Then he hesitated and asked, "Would it be too risky to do this?"

Fang Zhenru sighed secretly.

I thought to myself, this Zhu Youlang is really not someone who can achieve great things.

The Ming Dynasty should have died, and when it was passed to Zhu Youlang, even the last hope was lost.

But Fang Zhenru knew that in order for Zhu Youlang to make up his mind, he must give him a reassurance.

Then he said: "Your Majesty, to be honest, in addition to the hundreds of people who sneaked into the palace this time, there is still a battalion in the city."

"Not far outside Kunming City, there is a regiment of Shengjie Guards lurking."

"In addition, there are countless officials and soldiers in Kunming who are willing to surrender."

"As long as we can take down Fang Guo An and others in one fell swoop, the overall situation will be decided!"

"In the end, even if you fail, Your Majesty can blame the whole thing on me, saying that I was hijacked by me."

"Fang Guo'an and others were going to Burma to seek wealth and honor using Your Majesty as their puppet. As long as there is a way to get off, His Majesty's life will not be harmed."

Zhu Youlang heard that Shengjiewei had a battalion lurking in the city and a regiment lurking outside the city, but he still didn't feel safe at all.

It wasn't until he heard Fang Zhenru's last words that his eyes lit up.

I thought, since there is a way out, I can still gamble on this matter.

So he pretended: "Everything will be subject to Mr. Fang's arrangements!"

Fang Zhenru said no more and just raised his hands.

This time, he really put his life on the line.

···
The next day.

morning.

Yuezhou Palace.

A palace guard arrived with Zhu Youlang's handwriting.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has written that you please come to the palace to discuss yesterday's matters again."

Fang Guoan now has many soldiers and horses under his command. He is the largest warlord in the Hongguang court. He is also a king with a different surname. Even Zhu Youlang's bodyguards are polite to him.

Therefore, Fang Guoan did not suspect anything at this time.

Instead, he laughed and said, "What, your Majesty has figured it out? Are you ready to go to Myanmar with us?"

The guard who delivered the order smiled and said, "How do we know about His Majesty's affairs?"

Fang Guoan did not ask further questions, but waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go back to the palace. I will be here in a while."

"Yes."

After the guard left, Fang Guoan changed his clothes and had his horse ready, preparing to go to Prince Mu's Mansion.

A quarter of an hour later.

When Fang Guoan and a large group of soldiers were about to arrive at Prince Mu's Mansion, a horse came galloping from behind.

"Your Majesty, I have something urgent to report!"

The visitor is Fang Guoan, Fang Guoan's deputy general, who is also Fang Guoan's younger brother and is responsible for intelligence affairs.

Fang Guoan reined in his horse after hearing this.

Fang Guoyu came closer and whispered: "There is news from the secrets in the palace that there is an ambush today."

Is there an ambush?
Fang Guoan's eyes widened after hearing this.

"How dare that boy Zhu Youlang deal with me?"

"Assisting" Zhu Youlang for two or three years, he had long seen that Zhu Youlang was a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and had no sense of responsibility.

Therefore, Fang Guoan was really surprised to learn the news.

"Zhu Youlang has no such courage. Someone else must have given him the idea. Do you know who this person is?"

Fang Guoyu shook his head and said, "It wasn't mentioned in the news from Anzi."

Fang Guoan thought for a moment and then said: "Take this king's order and mobilize the elite of the army to surround Prince Mu's Mansion."

"I want to see today whether Zhu Youlang dares to lift the table - no matter whether he dares or not, I will let the person who gave him the advice die without a burial place!"

"As ordered!"

Fang Guoyu immediately took the warrant and rode towards the military camp.

Fang Guoan thought of another thing.

"This Zhu Youlang is ready to ambush me, but he is also not ready to let Ning Guogong and Wu Dinghou go." '

So he recruited two more clever soldiers.

"You two go to the mansions of Ning Guogong and Wu Dinghou respectively to see if they go to the palace."

"If they have already gone, you can catch up and let them meet with me outside the palace."

"As ordered!"

After the two soldiers rode away, Fang Guoan slowly walked towards Prince Mu's Mansion.

He has five hundred soldiers by his side, all of whom are elite servants who have followed him in battles for many years.

Therefore, as long as he did not enter Prince Mu's Mansion, he did not worry about safety issues.

A quarter of an hour later, Fang Guo An arrived outside Prince Mu's Mansion.

Then I saw Chen Bangfu waiting here with more than two hundred soldiers.

As for Mou Wenshou, he didn't see it.

"King of Yue."

Probably feeling that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the city, Chen Bangfu did not dare to come in front of Fang Guoan, but held his fists several dozen steps away.

Fang Guoan nodded and asked, "Where is Ning Guogong? But he has already gone in?"

"He arrived a quarter of an hour before me, and he did go in." Chen Bangfu said, "The King of Yue asked us to meet outside the palace, but what's wrong inside the palace?"

Fang Guoan didn't answer for a while and looked at Chen Bangfu.

He was wondering whether Mou Wenshou and Chen Bangfu might secretly stand against him.

After thinking about it, I think it is impossible.

The reason why the three people were unwilling to surrender was because they could not accept the "treatment" given by Dawei.

In terms of the degree of corruption in military discipline, these two men even surpassed him.

But these two men didn't have as many troops as him.

If it is said that after he surrenders, he may still survive or even be granted a military position.

Then Mou Wenshou and Chen Bangfu will most likely be convicted and executed by the Yi army.

As long as it wasn't Jiang Lei, there was no reason for these two people to stand opposite him.

After all, he has the most troops and horses in Kunming City. Even the other troops and horses combined are not as many as his.

After coming back to his senses, Fang Guoan asked: "Besides Mr. Ning Guo, who else went in?"

Chen Bangfu said: "Yang Weizhi, Yu Chaoxiang and other civil servants have gone in."

Fang Guoan narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this and asked, "Where is Governor Wu?"

"I don't know." Chen Bangfu shook his head and couldn't help but ask again, "King Yue, what happened in the palace?"

"Someone told me that there was an ambush in the palace."

When saying this, Fang Guoan stared into Chen Bangfu's eyes.

"Is there an ambush?" Chen Bangfu was shocked. "Your Majesty wants to deal with us? How dare he?"

Obviously, Chen Bangfu did not think that Zhu Youlang had the courage and strength to deal with several of their warlords.

Fang Guoan became more trusting when he saw that Chen Bangfu's expression was normal.

Just as he was about to say something, he saw a eunuch coming out of the palace gate. The eunuch stood by the palace door and said sharply with a forced smile: "His Majesty has spoken: Since the King of Yuezhou and the Marquis of Wuding are here, why don't they enter the palace? Everyone is waiting for you two."

Fang Guoan saw the eunuch's demeanor and became more certain that there was an ambush in the palace.

So he said: "Waiting for us? Are you afraid that you are waiting to kill us?"

The eunuch was obviously shocked, and the smile on his face became even more false and forced.

"What did the King of Yuezhou say? His Majesty and other ministers are indeed waiting for you two."

Fang Guoan snorted coldly, "I'm not afraid to tell you that I have received the news that a traitor has kidnapped His Majesty in the palace."

"My king has mobilized a large army and will be here shortly. If there is any misunderstanding, the governor had better go in and send a message so that your majesty and Ning Guogong can come out to clarify."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude once the army arrives!"

As soon as Fang Guoan finished speaking, many cavalrymen rushed towards Prince Mu's Mansion from the streets.

Judging by the momentum, there might be hundreds of riders!
The small court of Hongguang now has few soldiers and generals, and is extremely short of cavalry.

Now in Kunming City, only Fang Guoan can provide hundreds of cavalry.

The eunuch saw this.

He immediately ran into the palace in panic.

···
Fengtian Temple.

That is, a hall in Prince Mu's Mansion.

Mou Wenshou had been tied up with five flowers. His nose was bruised, his face was swollen, and his beard and hair were disheveled.

But as soon as he entered this hall, the Shengjie Guards who were ambushing him took action.

As a military general, Mou Wenshou was not one to be captured without mercy, so he suffered some hardships during the fight.

Also captured by Shengjie Guard were civil servants such as Yang Weizhi and Yu Chaoxiang.

Yang Weizhi also looked quite embarrassed.

Speaking of which, Yang Weizhi, a civil servant, was actually a better fighter than Mou Wenshou, and he had to force several Shengjie guards to use their hands and feet to win.

After being taken down, Yang Weizhi stared at Fang Zhenru and remained silent for a while.

Mou Wenshou was yelling.

"How dare you take me?!"

"How many battles have I fought for the Ming Dynasty and how much blood have I shed? Why do you want to take me?!"

"Zhu Youlang! I escorted you from Hunan to Guangxi, and supported you on the throne as emperor!"

"Great work! Now you actually listen to the traitor's slander about me?!"

"Zhu Youlang! Speak!"

Zhu Youlang sat on the dragon chair, looking at Mou Wenshou struggling and shouting, feeling scared and ashamed.

I didn't know what to say for a moment, so I could only look at Fang Zhenru for help.

Fang Zhenru said with a straight face, "Mou Wenshou, your Majesty has decided to surrender to Wei, but you are planning to take Your Majesty to Burma by force. Is there anything wrong with capturing you?"

Mou Wenshou was stunned for a moment.

His face was full of disbelief.

He never expected that Zhu Youlang would surrender.

Yang Weizhi, who was very calm after being captured, finally spoke, turned to stare at Zhu Youlang, and asked: "Your Majesty, is what Fang Zhenru said true?"

Facing Yang Weizhi, Zhu Youlang felt even more guilty.

If Mou Wenshou resisted Wei for selfish reasons, Yang Weizhi was a truly loyal and capable minister of the Ming Dynasty.

If he hadn't entered the official position too late, he might have been another Lu Xiangsheng.

When Yang Weizhi asked, he couldn't help but sigh, "Yes."

Yang Weizhi was shocked when he heard this, and then asked emotionally: "Why did your Majesty surrender to Lei?!"

Zhu Youlang sighed again, "At this point, do I have any better choice besides surrendering?"

"You can't really flee to the mountains and forests with Yang Qing and become a savage; or you can live in exile in Myanmar and become a mermaid, right?"

"Your Majesty!" Yang Weizhi knelt down with a plop, his eyes red, "I and others are fighting to the death to maintain the Ming Dynasty, but Your Majesty wants to give up. Have you ever thought about how Queen Bin Tian faced the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty?!"

Zhu Youlang didn't know how to defend himself for a moment, so he could only lower his head in shame.

Fang Zhenru saw this and said, "Yang Weizhi, looking at ancient and modern times, there is no undefeated dynasty."

"The Ming Dynasty has been under the rule of Zuo for more than 270 years, but it is already full of ills and there is no cure."

"Emperor Qianyuan obeyed nature and responded to the people. He revolutionized the old and established Dawei. Your Majesty led us to surrender, which is also an act of obeying the heavens and responding to the people."

"Even if the late emperors of the Ming Dynasty really knew about this, they would definitely understand it. If you really understand, you should support His Majesty's decision and work with us to surrender!"

"Rebel and traitor!" Yang Weizhi stood up again and struggled to glare at Fang Zhenru, "As a Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, you have been promoted to governor and bachelor, but you deceived His Majesty into losing the country. Do you have the slightest idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor? It is really a waste of time to read the books of sages. !”

"I read the sage's book in vain?" Fang Zhenru was also angry, "Yang Weizhi, you claim to be loyal to the king, but have you ever thought about how miserable your majesty would end up if you resisted until you finally escaped into the mountains?"

"You say you are patriotic, but have you ever thought that if you continue to resist like this, how many soldiers and civilians will die because of you?"

"Your hometown, Fengxiang, was taken over by Damei a long time ago, and the people are now living a stable life. But you want to start a war in Yunnan and hinder the arrival of peace."

"Did the sages teach you to do this?!"

They are all scholars.

Fang Zhenru was born in the capital and was older. He had even been a censor of the Ming Dynasty. He was not afraid of Yang Weizhi when it came to his words.

These words were so heartbreaking that Yang Weizhi was speechless for a moment.

He looked at Yu Chaoxiang, Guan Shouzhen and others who were also captured.

Only then did I realize that these real civil servants with Jinshi backgrounds had expressionless faces and no intention of resisting at all.

He wanted to say something else, but he saw another person being escorted into the hall.

But it was Mu Tianbo, Duke of Guizhou.

But compared to him and Mou Wenshou, Mu Tianbo's treatment was much better. He was only held hostage by several Weijun knives and was not tied up.

After probably knowing something, Mu Tianbo glanced at the situation in the hall, then looked at Zhu Youlang and asked, "Has your Majesty really decided to surrender?"

Zhu Youlang nodded.

Mu Tianbo's face was full of resentment, "Why didn't your Majesty Xianglei discuss this with me?"

Zhu Youlang said in a dull voice, "The Duke of Guizhou is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will definitely not surrender. How can I dare to discuss it with you?"

"Who said that!" Mu Tianbo, who seemed calm, suddenly became anxious, "Your Majesty can surrender? Why can't my Mu family?!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youlang and other Ming ministers in the hall were stunned.

Only then did Mu Tianbo realize that he had lost his composure. Just as he was about to explain something, he saw a eunuch trotting in, shouting repeatedly.

"No, no, no, the King of Yuezhou has led troops to surround the palace!"

what?
Zhu Youlang, Fang Zhenru and others were shocked when they heard this.

Even Yang Weizhi is no exception.

Only Mou Wenshou laughed maniacally.

"Hahaha! The King of Yue must have known that you were ambush in the palace and knew that you were going to surrender, so he brought his troops here!"

"With just a few hundred guards in the palace and three thousand troops from the capital, what can you do to stop the troops of the King of Yue?"

"You're done, you're all done, hahaha!"

Zhu Youlang was panicked when he heard that Fang Guoan had not fallen into the trap and entered the palace, but he became even more panicked when he heard Mou Wenshou's words.

"Mr. Fang, what should we do?"

"Then Chen Bangfu didn't enter the palace either, because he might have seen through our plan. He and Fang Guoan joined forces, and there might be 40,000 to 50,000 troops in Kunming."

"If they really attack the palace, how can we stop them?"

Fang Zhenru was also very panicked.

But he knew that he was now the backbone of the Toutei Sect, and if he looked panicked, others would be even more panicked.

He said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Governor Wu has secretly contacted Fang, Chen, and Mou's reliable generals. He may even have sent someone to take charge of Mou Wenshou's troops."

"In addition, Prince Mu's Mansion has three to four thousand soldiers and horses. A battalion of Shengjie Guards lurking in the city will also come to the rescue, and the Shengjie Guards outside the city will take the opportunity to attack the city."

"As long as we persist for a while, Fang Guoan, Chen Bangfu and others will inevitably collapse and flee!"

Zhu Youlang grabbed Fang Zhenru's hand, "Will they really run away? Mr. Fang, please don't lie to me."

Just after he finished speaking, Zhu Youlang heard several crisp cannon shots in a row, which scared him so much that he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Fang Zhenru caught him in time and he didn't make a fool of himself.

When he came back to his senses, he said in panic: "Where is the shooting? Could it be that Fang Guoan came in?"

At this time, Wang Jiajing, the Shengjie guard postmaster who had always had no presence in the hall, stood up.

"Your Excellency, these are our mortars." Wang Jiajin said calmly, "As expected, it was Fang Guoan and others who attacked Prince Mu's Mansion and fought with us."

Zhu Youlang panicked again when he heard this, and asked urgently: "You only have sixty or seventy people outside, can you hold on?"

"You have to hold on even if you can't hold on!" Wang Jiajin said firmly. (End of chapter)
