Chapter 303: The Aspirations of the People
The officer immediately brought people over, first scolded the flag officer who collected the money to open the city, and then brought several Jinyi guards and Zhu Youlang and his party back to the barracks for interrogation.
Fortunately, Jin Yiwei forged all kinds of road guides and documents, and then made a pitiful statement that he was a businessman, and there was a business that urgently needed to be finalized back to Liuzhou, which made the money want to go out of the city.
The patrol officer couldn't see any flaws left and right, so he ordered his corporal to beat several men with twenty sticks each and then let them go.
Zhu Youlang's guts, which was not as big as a quail, heard that he was going to be spanked, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and he couldn't help but glance at the Jinyi guard beside him.
Seeing that the matter had not been revealed, the leading Jinyi guard breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw King Gui's description, he had to beg the officer, saying that the woman was weak and could not withstand the beating, so please spare the sticks of the two servants, or let the two servants accept it on their behalf.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, before the officer could say anything, the eyes of the soldiers who were guarding them suddenly lit up - not to mention that they had forgotten that there were two women among the prisoners who fled the city!
Ding Kuichu's men and horses had extremely poor military discipline, and these soldiers had not been close to women for a long time, so they grabbed the chests of the two servants with a lewd smile.
Zhu Youlang pretended to be a woman, and there were two large steamed buns on his chest. When he saw someone grabbing him, he was afraid that he would be found flawed, so he subconsciously twisted his waist to dodge.
Who knew that the obscene soldier moved faster, Zhu Youlang's body did not move, and he had already grasped the "crisp * chest" with one hand. And Zhu Youlang also turned around at this time.
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and when he saw the tall servant woman in front of him, his left chest was pulled crooked, and he shouted in his heart, could it be that he was too strong and pulled this woman badly...... Don't make a fuss.
But the next moment, with a click, the servant's breasts disappeared! The surrounding people looked down and looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a black-faced steamed bun dripping and spinning on the ground......
The officer patrolling the city immediately drew his saber, ordered his subordinates to surround a few people in the middle, and shouted and asked Zhu Youlang who they were.
As soon as the Jinyi guards were about to start fighting, a group of patrol soldiers passed by outside the tent, and when they heard the sound, they hurried to come, and in an instant, twenty or thirty birds and spears pointed at them.
When Zhu Youlang passed through such a dangerous situation, he trembled when he looked at the mouth of the black hole, and he was afraid that if any soldier trembled, one of his good princes would die in a daze.
The "eldest aunt" beside him is responsible for preventing King Gui from falling into the hands of the enemy at a critical juncture. Seeing that the situation was not good, she gathered her right palm, and was about to help King Gui "commit suicide to show loyalty" at any time, when she heard a trembling shout beside her, "I am King Gui, Hugh hurts me......"
The officer patrolling the city was stunned when he heard this, and motioned to his subordinates to put away the fire gun first, and walked to Zhu Youlang in a few steps to take a closer look.
Zhu Youlang saw that a person came over with a single knife, and he was also extremely afraid and angry, so he ripped off his wig, pointed at him and shouted: "The army of the court and the court is coming, and you don't know that you are dying until you die!" ”
When the officer heard the words "the army of the imperial court is coming", he was also very puzzled, in his heart, King Gui was a lord who wanted to ascend the throne and rebel, how could he say such a thing.
He immediately put the knife into the sheath, and ordered his corporal to retreat to a distance, and after seeing the objects of Zhu Youlang's identification, and under careful questioning, Fang Zhigui had no idea of being the emperor at all, and was coerced by Ding Kuichu. Now with the help of Jinyiwei, he is about to flee Guangxi.
When the officer heard the news, he knelt down and said that his name was Lu Da, and he joined the army to kill Jianyu to avenge his family. How could Ding Kuichu blindly support the army and ignore the rampant thieves, he has long been dissatisfied.
Before, he only regarded Ding Kuichu as Ding Kuichu, and he only did the thing of supporting the king according to the order of King Gui. At this time, he knew that the Ding clan was just for his own selfish desires, and he disregarded the current situation of the great enemy and raised troops against the imperial court, which was no different from Jianyu.
Zhu Youlang heard Lu Da say this, and hurriedly begged him to let him go.
Lu Da thought about it, but there were still many soldiers and horses of Ding Kuichu at the junction of Daogui and Guangdong, and it was not easy to escape to Guangdong.
He knew that there were many people in the army who were dissatisfied with Ding Kuichu's rebellion, and they might be able to connect with like-minded people to capture Sun Pengyun. Then King Gui ascended to the heights in the name of the imperial court and shouted, and Wuzhou would raise the city and surrender. At that time, you only need to wait for the imperial army to arrive, and the big thing will be decided.
The leading Jinyi Wei also felt that this plan was feasible, so he took Zhu Youlang out of the city first to prevent accidents, and Lu Da contacted his close friend Wan Yuebin and several other officers to discuss it anyway.
These officers were already quite dissatisfied with Ding Kuichu's rebellion, and they were shocked when they heard that King Gui not only did not want to be the emperor, but also that he was still in Wuzhou.
Ding Kuichu has led the main force to the south, and the matter of supporting King Gui will undoubtedly fail. That being the case, instead of following the Ding family to death, it is better to do it as soon as possible, and the court may still be able to remember its own great achievements.
Several people have discussed and decided, Lu Da and Wan Yuebin led their respective departments to attack Sun Pengyun's big tent at night, and the rest of the people only restrained their subordinates and did not allow Sun Pengyun to ask for help.
At dawn the next day, Lu Da and Wan Yuebin had escorted Sun Pengyun, Zhixian Li Gu and others, who refused to surrender, outside the city and handed them over to King Gui.
Zhu Youlang returned to Wuzhou City under the protection of Jinyi Guard. Most of the officials in the city had secretly expressed their loyalty to the court, and the scholars and ordinary people had long been looking forward to the court after the propaganda offensive of the Propaganda Department.
So as Lu Da expected, no one in the city was elated, and they all looked forward to King Gui's horse.
Zhu Linmiao listened to Xu Feihu's words, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, who said that the people's will is useless? He also planned to need the Dragon Guard Army to take Wuzhou after a hard battle, but he returned to the court without blood.
"My lord, since this is the case, my subordinates think that our army should immediately enter Wuzhou north." On the side, Zhao Shichao arched his hand and said, "Based on this, we will gather troops for grain and fight steadily." Ding Kuichu has neither King Gui nor the foundation of Wuzhou, so he will not last long. ”
Xia Fu also continued: "What Xuan Qing said is extremely true. After our army enters Wuzhou City, we can also ask the Holy Lord to order all parts of Guangxi to change banners, and those who hear it will abandon the Ding family and follow the imperial court. Under the rebellion of the thieves and their relatives, they can be punished! ”
Zhu Linmiao frowned secretly, it was not difficult to take Guangxi, but if the Long Wei Army was stationed in Wuzhou, it would be the next choice to fight a protracted battle with Ding Kuichu. In Jiangbei, Le Ke Dehun is leading his Eight Banners main force into Nanjing, Hong Chengchou is also constantly recruiting troops, and if it is delayed, it will be more and more difficult to say that the Northern Expedition will become more and more difficult, and even King Lu, who is adjacent to the Qing army, is likely to be attacked and lose Zhejiang again.
All the officers in the tent agreed with Zhao Shichao's suggestion, only Zhang Jiayu shook his head slightly, and said to Zhu Linmiao: "My lord, my subordinates think about it, there are only more than ten Jinyi guards in Wuzhou City, so Lu Da may be cheating?" ”
Xu Feihu immediately said: "Zhang Shilang, Wuzhou guard Sun Pengyun and Zhixian are all under the care of my people, and King Gui can also go out of the city at will, there should be no difference." ”
Zhang Jiayu frowned again and said, "What if it's Sun Pengyun and Li Gu's bitter plan?" ”
