Chapter 253: King Qin?
The news of the Son of Heaven moving to Kunming made Zhou Shixiang and Chen Qice speechless, the former had already known about Sun, Li Neizheng and his descendants were expected to be defeated and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and he had been preparing for this day as early as Luo Dingshi, but the latter was completely unaware, and how could he not be shaken when he heard such a major event.
Zheng Chengkui, the general of the naval division, had just returned from Jiangmen, and since Liang Biaoxiang fled without a trace, the Guangdong naval division of the Qing army existed in name only, not only could not see a single ship of the Qing army on the Tan River, but also only a handful of Qing ships could be seen on the Pearl River. Therefore, Zheng Chengkui led his troops back to Jiangmen and was not intercepted by the Qing army in Jiangmen, and the green battalion of the Qing army stationed on Yandun Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River and Penglai Mountain in the north of the Yangtze River probably already knew the news of the defeat of Xinhui, so they did not have the courage to open fire on the Ming army sailors who appeared, and let Zheng Chengkui's troops collect grain everywhere under their noses.
After collecting grain and grass, Zheng Chengkui was not worried about the Xinhui war, so he led his troops back after burning a camp built by the Qing army's sailors in Jiangmen. As soon as he entered the city, before he could drink a sip of water, the news that the Son of Heaven had moved to Kunming came, and he was so frightened that he knocked the big bowl to the ground with a "clang" sound of broken porcelain.
Zheng Chengkui lost his voice and said: "Why did the emperor go to Kunming?" What is Li Dingguo going to do, what is he going to do as a big western thief! Because he just came back, he didn't know the cause and effect of the incident, he only thought that Li Dingguo was a thief and his nature was difficult to change, so he tied up the Son of Heaven to Kunming, and was so angry that he wanted to tie up Li Dingguo and cut him down.
The sailor generals present hurriedly whispered the inside story of the Son of Heaven's move to Kunming and Zheng Chengkui, only to hear him so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After half a sound, he smacked his lips and turned worried: "So, Li Dingguo is going to war with Sun Kewang?" ”
"Sun Kewang is a thief who wants to harm the Son of Heaven himself, and he doesn't want to think about what he is, just because his mud legs are also worthy of the Son of Heaven, I'm bah! The king of Xining is a loyal minister, and Sun Kewang is a thief who is at war with the king of Xining. He can't beat him, unless God is blind to let this thief win the king of Xining! ”
The one who scolded Sun Kewang was Wang Pengzhi, the general of the Navy Division, who had a long beard, and at a glance, he looked a little similar to Ge Zheng of the Taiping Army who died in battle. (There is a mistake in the previous text, the execution of the prisoner was Ge Zhengdi's brother Ge Yi, also known as Ge Liu)
Wang Pengzhi became more and more angry the more he scolded, and when he walked outside the hall, he pointed to the direction of Guizhou and scolded the eighteenth generation of Sun Kewang's ancestors.
Thinking that the scolding was not enjoyable, Wang Pengzhi simply walked up to Chen Qice and asked for an order. He shouted: "Dashuai, the emperor has asked Sun Kewang to force him to Kunming, then Sun Kewang has many generals, we can't let the King of Xining deal with Sun Kewang alone, Dashuai will take us to Kunming King Qin to protect it!" ”
"Nonsense!"
Chen Qice was so angry that he slapped the table, and said angrily: "You said that King Qin is King Qin, you have the edict of King Qin of the Son of Heaven!" ”
Wang Pengzhi didn't expect the old general to be angry with him, he didn't dare to contradict it, and muttered with a little weakness: "Didn't the emperor be forced to Kunming by Sun Kewang." This edict of King Qin will definitely come down, maybe it will be on the way. ”
"Since we haven't received the edict from King Qin, you will stay honest with me, and then dare to shout. The old man told you to go back to Kamikawashima! ”
After speaking, Chen Qice snorted, and he said this not only to Wang Pengzhi, but also to the other generals present. The Son of Heaven moved to Kunming is still a trivial matter. Hell, no one knows what's going to happen behind this. With Sun Kewang's dominance, he will not be willing to let the Son of Heaven out of his control, so it is predictable. The battle between Sun and Li is just around the corner. This is a major event related to whether the Yongli Imperial Court can survive or not, and it is also a major matter related to whether the Ming Dynasty can prosper, in the face of such a major event, Chen Qice must not allow his subordinates to make assertions, let alone tolerate his subordinates having different thoughts. He said ugly things in front, and if someone really tried the law in the back, although he was old, the sword in his hand was not old!
In his heart, Chen Qice may not want to lead his troops to Qinwang, but his subordinates are all sailors, and Kunming is thousands of miles away from Xinhui. What's more, he didn't receive the edict of King Qin from the imperial court, there was no edict, he Chen Qice was the general of Linghai stationed in Guangdong, and he was the king of Qin without the edict.
Chen Qice has been loyal to Daming all his life, he will never make this mistake when he is old, what should he do, he still has to wait for the news from Leizhou. Anyway, in a word, if the imperial court really wants him Chen Qi Ce Qin Wang, he will leave without saying a word, even if he dies in the middle of the road, he will go, but the court does not want him Chen Qi Ce Qin Wang, he will stay in Xinhui, even if he dies, he will die in his flood land!
Shangchuan Island is not comparable to Xinhui, that place is barren to death, and lonely overseas, now the main force is in Xinhui, where is Wang Pengzhi willing to go back to that ghost place, so he was so frightened that he hurriedly retreated, and he didn't dare to squeak again.
The general was angry, and he said clearly, no matter how thoughtful the generals of the Navy Division were, they would all be wise to keep silent. The Taiping army was headed by Zhou Shixiang, and Zhou Shixiang did not squeak, and the officers naturally did not talk nonsense.
Hu Deyu coughed lightly, stepped forward and said to Chen Qice: "General, Li Dingguo moved the Son of Heaven to Kunming, Sun Kewang will not give up, I am afraid that he will have ordered his troops to go to Kunming." The students heard that the elite of the Great Western Army are in the hands of Sun Kewang, and the generals who can fight are also under Sun Kewang's command. ”
"What are you going to do?" Chen Qice sighed, waved his hand and said: "I was born as a person of the Ming Dynasty, and I am a ghost of the Ming Dynasty when I die, the court is gone, what is the point of my life." The first emperor was able to die in the coal mountain, so why don't I Chen Qice pity this old body. ”
Hu Deyu saw that Chen Qice misunderstood his meaning, and was busy trying to persuade him, but saw Zhou Shixiang open his mouth and said: "Old general, don't be pessimistic, the matter is not here yet." In the eyes of the younger generations, Sun Kewang really wants to meet the king of Xining, and it must be him who will fail in the end, not the court and the king of Xining! ”
"Why is Zhou Qianhu so sure that Sun Kewang will be defeated?"
Hu Deyu was a little surprised why Zhou Shixiang was so sure that Sun Kewang would be defeated, after all, Sun Kewang's department was the largest main force of the Ming army, with more than 200,000 people, while Li Dingguo's soldiers and horses were only 4 or 50,000 people, and the difference in strength between the two was several times. Zhou Shixiang stood up and said that Sun Kewang would be defeated and Li Dingguo would win, which was a little difficult to accept for a while.
"Righteousness!"
Zhou Shixiang looked at everyone very confidently, and said loudly: "Because the righteousness is in the imperial court, Sun Kewang will be defeated!" (To be continued.) )
