Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 751 Climb high and call for the king to appear (Part )

Chongqing Prefecture, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan, is built next to the Wenjing River. It has many lakes and beautiful scenery. When Zhang Xianzhong massacred the Shu clan after conquering Chengdu, Qingfu King Zhu Xuan escaped by chance and lived here temporarily. When he was detained by the Qing army, Cheng Xiangfeng, the supervisor who was responsible for guarding Zhu Xuan, once supported the Shu king Zhu Pingju to resist Zhang Xianzhong. He respected the Shu clan clan very much and did not dare to force him too much. This time he made an excuse to visit the Long Tomb, but Cheng Daotai couldn't stop him, so he took the opportunity to escape from the cage.

"Your Highness, the pursuers are coming soon. If you don't dare to stay in Chongqing Prefecture for a long time, please rush to Qiong Prefecture. Jin Jiangbo is in Qiongzhou, and his son Cao Changzuo is now the commander-in-chief of Chengdu. If Jin Jiangbo can be persuaded to persuade his son to raise an army to restore his Ming Dynasty, Great things can happen," his confidant Qin Yougong persuaded.

"Well, I have thought about this. However, in order to deceive others, I lied that the princess was dead, asked a craftsman to make a coffin, carried the coffin out of the city, and walked to Qiongzhou overnight," Zhu Xuan thought for a while and said. Although this vassal king has been pampered since he was a child, he is still quite capable because he has experienced many hardships.

"Yes", Qin Yougong responded with admiration.

When Zhu Xuan's team carried the princess's coffin out of Chongqing Prefecture City, they immediately put on their fast horses and ran towards Qiong Prefecture. Just after changing boats to cross the Yajiang River and preparing to enter Qiongzhou City, they were blocked by a group of soldiers.

"Stop, what are you doing?" The general at the head was born with a pair of bright little eyes, and was full of murderous intent.

Zhu Xuan took a closer look and secretly complained that this person was none other than Hao Chengyi, the general of Qiongzhou and the Marquis of Weining. At that time, Hao Chengyi's father, Hao Mengxuan, supported the Shu king Zhu Pingju to resist Zhang Xianzhong. He had a close relationship with himself, who was born in the lineage of Shu kings, so Hao Chengyi naturally recognized him. This man was ruthless. A few years ago, because he was dissatisfied with his sworn brother Gao Chengen's sole control of the military power left by Hao Mengxuan, he killed his sworn brother and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. If you meet him, you may be in bad luck!
While he was deep in thought, Hao Chengyi narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Who is it? It turns out to be His Highness King Qingfu. His Highness is not staying in Chengdu, so why did he come to Qiongzhou?"

"Wei Shouhou is fine," Zhu Xuan cried in his heart, but his face was calm and composed. He raised his hands immediately and said, "I want to go to Long Tomb to have a look, but suddenly I remembered that Jin Jiangbo was in Qiongzhou and planned to meet his old friend, so Come here".

"Oh, you want to see Uncle Jin Jiang, but have you obtained permission from the supervisor?" Hao Chengyi asked coldly. This is a slap in Zhu Xuan's face. Although you are King Qingfu of the Ming Dynasty, you are now a prisoner of the Qing Dynasty. You are not allowed to leave Chengdu without permission.

"Haha, without Cheng Jianjun's permission, do you think Gu could have left Chengdu?" Zhu Xuan was calm and composed.

"I see." Hao Chengyi rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "I also have something to discuss with Uncle Jin Jiang. In that case, you might as well come into my camp first and wait for me to invite Uncle Jin Jiang to discuss it together. Okay. ?”

Zhu Xuan knew in his heart that this person had already suspected that he had sneaked out of Chengdu. If he refused, he would probably fall out immediately, so he had to force a smile and said, "I can only get the protection of Marquis Weining."

Hao Chengyi accompanied Zhu Xuan into Qiongzhou City with a smile. As soon as he entered the city, he ordered heavy troops to "protect" King Qingfu, and then invited Guangping Bo Chen Jian to discuss. At that time, he had a falling out with his adopted brother Gao Chengen and had murderous intentions. At the critical moment, but there was still some hesitation, it was Chen Jian who said to him: "If you don't kill Gao Chengen, Gao Chengen will kill you." Then he made up his mind to kill Gao Chengen and stand on his own feet.

"Uncle Guangping, today I met King Qingfu while patrolling the south bank of Yajiang River. He is not staying in Chengdu, but he came to Qiongzhou. It is really suspicious," Hao Chengyi said to Chen Jian.

"What Marquis Weining said is that King Qingfu has been under residential surveillance in Chengdu and suddenly came to our Qiongzhou. He must have escaped secretly. But what did he come to Qiongzhou for? Did he say who he wanted to see? ?" Chen Jian asked after thinking for a while.

"Said he wanted to see that old man Cao Xun," Hao Chengyi sneered. "Jin Jiangbo's son Cao Changzuo is currently the commander-in-chief of Chengdu. King Qingfu must want Jin Jiangbo to persuade his son to support him and raise an army to restore the Ming Dynasty." Chen Jian pondered for a moment and said: "You might as well escort King Qingfu back to Chengdu. This is a great achievement. One piece".

"Well, I thought so too."

The two of them were discussing when they suddenly reported to Governor Gao that a military order had arrived. After receiving the military order and looking at it, it read: "Generals Hao Chengyi and Chen Jian immediately led their troops to Luzhou and returned to Jianchang Town under the control of General Wang Mingde."

After sending Gao Minzhan's messenger away, Hao Chengyi jumped to his feet in anger and cursed, "It makes no sense to Gao Fuyuan. Luzhou needs soldiers and horses to garrison. Doesn't Qiongzhou need to keep troops to garrison? If my army is transferred to Luzhou, then What should I do about Qiongzhou? I am a dignified marquis, why should I obey the control of a commander-in-chief!" He was angry for a reason. As a local snake, Qiongzhou and Meizhou have long been regarded as his own territory. How could he leave his own territory to replace others? The reason for fighting?

"You are absolutely right. A dragon cannot leave the sea and a tiger cannot escape the mountain. This is the truth." Chen Jian also did not want to leave Qiongzhou. After he fled to Sichuan, he finally found a place to settle down. How could he be willing to do so? give up easily.

"It's just that the military laws of the Qing Dynasty are strict. If I openly disobey orders, what should I do if the Gaofu Yuan sends troops to attack?" Hao Chengyi was a little worried about the consequences of disobeying orders.

"Now that the Wei army is attacking Sichuan, Gao Fuyuan has too much time to take care of himself, so how can he have the strength to attack you? You might as well have both sides of the Qing and Wei countries, and stand on your own based on Qiongzhou, Meizhou, and Chengdu. Wouldn't it be nice to separate one side from another?" Chen Come up with a very tempting idea.

"Secretary rule? That's good, but I only have 5,000 soldiers and horses, occupying only one state in Qiongzhou. I don't control Chengdu and Meizhou, so how can I stand on my own based on Qiongzhou, Meizhou, and Chengdu?" Hao Chengyi said depressedly. ask.

"Have you forgotten? King Qingfu is in your camp. He is the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. If he uses his name to hold the emperor and command the princes, and calls out from high, there will be a crowd of responders. What's the difficulty in separatist rule? "Chen Jian smiled.

Hao Chengyi's eyes lit up, "Yes, King Qingfu! I forgot about this strange item!"

"Didn't King Qingfu say he wants to find Uncle Jin Jiang? You might as well talk to Uncle Jin Jiang first."

"Uncle Jin Jiang?" Hao Chengyi nodded solemnly upon hearing this. Without him, Jinjiang Bo Cao Xun was a famous figure in Xichuan. He was very powerful and good at shooting. He was a hereditary commander and was awarded the rank of general in the camp in northern Sichuan. After Zhang Xianzhong defeated Chengdu, he fled to Dadu River and was elected as a commander. He guarded Yingjing County. He elected Zhu Pingyu, the son of King Fushun and the general of Zhenguo, as the king of Shu. He once led the army to conquer Yazhou and enter Chengdu. When the Qing army arrived, they retreated to Yazhou and were granted the title of Jin Jiangbo. After Liu Wenxiu entered Yunnan, he was ordered to station in Chengdu. Last year, he surrendered his military power because of his old age, handed over the army to his son Cao Changzuo, and lived in seclusion in the countryside. It turned out that he wanted to live in seclusion at Dadu River in Lizhou, but Lizhou was currently in the hands of the guards, so he had to come to Qiongzhou.
