Chapter 693: Dilemma
Thank you @八八線, the reward of thousands of gold like the wind, bow and greet.
***
At the beginning, in order to claim the emperor in front of Zhu Youlang, Zhu Yulu didn't even have time to prepare the dragon robe, and the dragon robe and the official uniforms of hundreds of officials used when ascending to the pole had to be borrowed from the costumes of Cantonese opera singers.
This is like a farce, the news reached Zhaoqing, Zhu Youlang and Qu Shiyun, who had been known as the prisoner of the country, were greatly annoyed, and made urgent preparations, and finally ascended the throne half a month later;
Immediately afterwards, Peng Yao and Chen Jiamo, the head of the military department, were sent to Guangzhou to meet Emperor Shaowu with the etiquette of a vassal king, and persuaded him to cancel the emperor's title.
Su Guansheng, a scholar of the first auxiliary university of the Shaowu Dynasty, was furious, beheaded Peng and Chen, and then ordered Chen Jitai to attack Zhaoqing.
Emperor Yongli sent Lin Jiading, the right attendant of the military department, and Xia Sifu to lead the troops to the west of Sanshui County, and launched a fierce battle with the Shaowu army, and repelled the opponent.
Su Guansheng then ordered Lin Cha, the general soldier of Guangdong, to fight back with tens of thousands of newly surrendered pirates, and defeated the Yongli army, forcing Zhu Youlang to retreat to Wuzhou.
The feud between the two sides has been settled since then, and it has never been resolved.
This time, the Qin army attacked Guangxi from both sides, and Zhu Youlang saw that the Qin army was like a broken bamboo, and the cities in Guangxi had fallen one after another, and the shape was critical, so he had to send Wu Hui, the director of the Ministry of Rites, to Guangzhou for help.
Su Guansheng finally agreed to send troops for reinforcements, but a precondition was made, that is, let Zhu Youlang go to the emperor first, and Feng Shaowu was the Ming Zhengshuo.
If this condition is not met, the matter of sending troops to reinforce Guangxi will not be discussed.
Of course, Wu Hui couldn't agree to such conditions, and the rescuers couldn't ask for help, so Wu Hui hurried back to Wuzhou with a sense of grief and indignation.
At this time, from the Xunzhou side, there was also a fast horse galloping back to Wu.
"Report, Your Majesty, it's not good. The Qin army broke through Guixian, and Guixian was lost! ”
The messenger's panicked shout made Yongli Junchen feel numb when he heard it, Guixian is located in the upper reaches of the Xijiang River, and down the river, you can go directly to Wuzhou, and the distance is only a few hundred miles, which can be said to be imminent.
"Ministers, what can I do about this? What can I do? "The rescuers did not wait, but waited for the enemy to come. Zhu Youlang was originally a person who had no idea, and this news made him very confused, and his questions were full of crying.
Wu Yu went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Wuzhou, in addition, the troops of the surrounding states and counties have been evacuated, and in terms of the road, it is too late to transfer troops from Guilin Mansion to King Qin, Your Majesty." Can't hesitate any longer, the ministers asked the emperor to set off immediately, go to Guilin, and join the military department. In this way, the superior forces can be concentrated and the enemy from the north can be defeated in one fell swoop, and the current predicament can be lifted. ”
"Ridiculous!" Ding Kuichu, the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately came out and retorted loudly: "Now the shape is critical. The emperor must not leave lightly, the emperor, now all the soldiers and people are looking at the emperor. Once you leave Wuzhou, it is inevitable that the army and the people will have doubts, thinking that the emperor is afraid of the enemy army and abandoning the land and fleeing, which will surely shake the morale of the army, the people's feelings will be turbulent, and the consequences will be unimaginable. ”
Ding Kuichu had already transported all his belongings to Cen Xi, and once Zhu Youlang went to Guilin, it would be equivalent to giving up a large area of Wuzhou, including Cen Xi County, and of course he would not agree to let Zhu Youlang flee to Guilin Mansion.
The situation of Cao Ye, the governor of Guangxi, was roughly similar, and he immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, only ministers have been kings, and how can there be kings and ministers. The emperor has ordered Qu Shiyun to return to King Shiqin, but he not only does not return, but wants the emperor to give up his stay and go to Guilin, which is obviously ill-intentioned and has the intention to hold the emperor hostage.
Your Majesty, now there is Qin Zuoming's newly victorious division in the north to refer to Quanzhou, and there are nearly 10,000 troops in the south to break through Pennzhou, and the soldiers refer to Liuzhou, and Guilin Mansion is attacked on both sides. Therefore, he was anxious to let the emperor go to the dangerous place, and the emperor went, and if the army was defeated in the future, he could put the responsibility on the emperor.
Your Majesty, looking at the whole Guangxi, the safest thing now is Wuzhou, as long as the emperor orders Qu Shiyun to lead the army back to King Qin, there is still something to do. Guilin is dangerous, and the emperor can't go! ”
Zhu Youlang, who originally sensed that danger was approaching, planned to accept Qu Shiyun's construction and flee to Guilin Mansion. But as soon as he heard the words of Ding Kuichu and Cao Ye, he immediately hesitated;
Indeed, now the two enemy armies of Qin Zuoming and Ma Liuliang have faintly formed a situation of encirclement of Guilin Mansion, and Guilin Mansion may not be safer than Wuzhou.
The half-hearted Zhu Youlang is like fifteen buckets in his heart, seven up and eight down, this is not, that is not.
Wu Bing, the right attendant of the military department, saw that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there are only 10,000 soldiers and horses in Wuzhou, and it is located downstream, so there is no danger to defend.
The rebel general Ainengqi's army of 20,000 or 30,000 is menacing, and it swoops down from Guixian, our army is absolutely difficult to resist, Wuzhou has become a desperate place, and the emperor is the body of ten thousand gold, how can he be in danger?
Your Majesty, Guilin seems to have been attacked from both sides, but Qin Zuoming and Ma Liuliang combined have less than 20,000 troops. As long as the emperor personally marches and our army is combined, the total strength of our army will be 30,000 or 40,000, which is twice that of the enemy.
What's more, the emperor drove the expedition in person, and the morale of our army will definitely be greatly boosted, and when the time comes, Qin Zuoming and Ma Liuliang are really not enough to be afraid.
Your Majesty, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if you can't do anything in Guilin at that time, the emperor can still patrol the Yizhou area, and the mountains in western Guizhou are reckless, which is extremely beneficial to our army, and it is enough to deal with the enemy army for a long time.
Wu Bing is worthy of being the squire of the military department, his words are mostly analyzed from a military point of view, and when he said this, Zhu Youlang felt that it was better to go to Guilin again.
Qingguo Gong Chen Bangfu is a person with a little military common sense in Ding Kuichu's faction, and he immediately came out and retorted: "Your Majesty, Guilin Mansion can't go, once the emperor leaves Wuzhou, the morale of the army and the people will immediately collapse, from Wuzhou to Guilin, the road is rugged and difficult to travel, I am afraid that before the emperor arrives in Guilin, the soldiers and horses around him have already fled."
What's more, once the emperor abandons Guilin Mansion, Ai Nengqi of Guizhou will inevitably send troops to intercept from Wuxuan, and then the foundation of Wuzhou has been lost, and the road to Guilin is blocked by the enemy, and the emperor will fall into a dilemma.
Moreover, even if the emperor arrived in Guilin safely, Yizhou was not enough to be ashamed, before the Qin army attacked, there were enemy troops assembled in the direction of Tongxian County, once the emperor went to Guilin, the enemy army must go south from Tongdao County, capture Rongxian and other places, and cut off the road of our army to the west.
Your Majesty, Guilin can't go, now there is only the fate of Qu Shiqi to return to the King of Shiqin, the emperor guards Wuzhou, if Wuzhou can't hold it, you can also retreat to Zhaoqing, relying on Guangdong, to fight against the enemy;
Whether it is Wuzhou or Zhaoqing, the population is not comparable to the small county of the mountain city in western Guangxi, here can still be a steady stream of replenishment of soldiers, once to the mountains and forests of western Guangxi, sparsely populated, infested with wild beasts, the soldiers will lose one less one, there is no way to recruit troops, and talk about how to make a comeback, recover the Central Plains? ”
Whether to go or stay, the main battle faction and the main peace faction argued endlessly, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, Zhu Youlang listened to it, and felt that what everyone said was reasonable, but as soon as he wanted to choose, he became unreasonable.
In the original history, when the Qing army attacked Guangxi, it was actually Qu Shiyun and others who were responsible for resisting, and he was responsible for - fleeing!
This is no exaggeration, since the day he became the emperor, he has been on the run, and the anti-Japanese war of Li Dingguo and others is autonomous, and it basically has nothing to do with him as an emperor.
With such a person, it is easier for you to let him make up his mind than to expect the sun to come out in the west.
So when the two factions are at loggerheads, it's doomed to be a matter without a conclusion. The two sides continued to argue, and the more they fought, the more Zhu Youlang was at a loss.
Until it was almost dark, there was still no conclusion on whether to leave or stay, no matter what happened tomorrow, today could not starve to death, so this matter - tomorrow will be discussed.
When the court meeting dispersed, Ding Kuichu, the chief assistant of the interior, hurriedly returned to his house, found his henchman Meng Dawei, and said to him: "You immediately carry a batch of gold treasures, go out of the city overnight, and rush to Guizhou." ”
"Pavilion Old"
"Don't ask first, listen to the official's words, after you arrive in Guizhou, you go to see Ai Nengqi, send Jinbao, and say the official"
Ding Kuichu's voice became inaudible, and the lights in the room turned on and off, making his face look extremely gloomy.
