King Gui Zhu Youlang was wearing military uniform, riding on a maroon-red tall horse, holding the reins with one hand and looking into the distance.

He carefully planned for nearly a year, but when he really started a military campaign, the excitement in his heart was still hard to describe in words.

Countless armored soldiers were behind him, and they were proud, full of fighting spirit.

Beside him is a beautiful country and a thousand people.

Zhu Youlang just felt that his chest was about to expand.

I think Chengzu probably felt the same when he raised an army to rectify the crisis?

However, when Chengzu raised his army, there were very few people around him who could use it, and Zhu Youlang was supported by the General of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governor of Guangxi and even the General of Fujian.

As long as he calls out a junction, he can work hard for him.

This feeling of giving orders is really refreshing.

No wonder everyone wants to be an emperor. The feeling of dominating the world and dominating the fate of the world is really unparalleled.

Guangxi Governor Qu Shizi rode a green horse behind Zhu Youlang halfway.

He opened his lips gently and said in a whisper: "Your Highness, go further and you will be the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi. Ding Kuichu will welcome Your Highness there."

Zhu Youlang nodded and said, "Very good. After we enter Guangzhou, we can ask Zheng Zhilong to send troops to attack. He can't just talk but not do anything."

Among Zhu Youlang's three supporters, Qu Shisi must be the most loyal and reliable.

This person was the first to support Zhu Youlang. Whether it was Ding Kuichu or Zheng Zhilong, they were all Qu Shisi, so Zhu Youlang was able to get in touch.

Without Qu Shizi, Zhu Youlang would never have been able to raise an army.

In comparison, Ding Kuichu is still quite reliable.

After all, Ding Kuichu has agreed to Zhu Youlang to go to Guangzhou.

The vassal king left the fief without authorization as a serious crime of rebellion, let alone making friends with the governor.

Ding Kuichu's attitude shows that he has completely stood on Zhu Youlang's side.

Only Zheng Zhilong is a bit unpredictable. He was obviously willing to send his subordinates to pretend to be Japanese pirates to harass the Southeast to cause trouble for the court, but he was unwilling to send troops directly.

No matter how you shoot the bow without turning back, Zhu Youlang is very clear about what it means to take this step.

He spread rumors that today's son was not the blood of Emperor Lie, and wanted to use this to shake and devil people's hearts.

If it fails, it will not only be the removal of the king's title, but will definitely be confiscated and exterminated.

So he can't fail.

This battle can only be won, not lost.

"Mr. Qu thinks it is better for me to stay in Guangzhou or to follow the soldiers to the front line?"

Qu Shixi was silent for a moment and said lightly: "How can the prince's daughter, the prince's daughter, easily go into danger? It's better to stay in Guangzhou City to dispatch it."

Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this.

What he was waiting for was Qu Shixi's words. Some words were not good for him to say in person, but the meaning of saying them from the ministers was completely different.

He naturally wanted to stay in Guangzhou City. Guangzhou is one of the southeast centers and its prosperity is far beyond that of Wuzhou.

Zhu Youlang has been living a luxurious life since he was a child, and he cannot endure any hardships. Therefore, of course he does not want to live in the military camp for a long time, especially in dangerous places like the frontline.

He was very happy that the soldiers were working for him, but it was absolutely necessary to let him live in the military camp in order to boost morale.

There is no eyeless sword and gun on the battlefield. What if any arrows hurt him?

He went to Guangdong mainly at two points.

One is to completely pull Ding Kuichu around.

After all, Ding Kuichu just verbally promised to support Zhu Youlang and did not take any substantial actions.

And verbal promises are undoubtedly the most unreliable.

In order to force Ding Kuichu to express his opinion, Zhu Youlang resolutely decided to go to Guangdong.

Secondly, he wanted to make Ding Kuichu feel at ease.

After all, if Zhu Youlang stayed in Guangxi, it would be like he was in Qu Shisi's territory.

The merit of support is a huge risk. If you don’t get enough benefits, wouldn’t you lose it?

Of course, Zhu Youlang could not disappoint Ding Kuichu, so he had to make a gesture to express his willingness to cooperate with him in Ding Kuichu's territory.

Since he came to Guangdong with these two goals, Zhu Youlang naturally had no need to go to the front line, just staying comfortably in Guangzhou.

He is here to enjoy his happiness, not to suffer.

Which prince and the big head soldier have you seen in the world eat and live together?

Qu Shisi was happy when he saw Zhu Youlang's face, but his heart sank.

The prince is more responsible.

It is said that the emperor in the Forbidden City once led the army to fight drums on the top of the city.

Compared with this, King Gui is much less courageous.

But we cannot ask everyone to be like today. After all, these are all nobles and very particular.

King Gui is a little weaker, but it is also because of this that it is easy to control.

Isn’t this the reason why Qu Shizuo chose King Gui?

Qu Shixi was unwilling to be the governor of Guangxi. If he wanted to go further, he had to make great contributions.

The greatest contribution is support.

As the governor of Guangxi, Qu Shixi had to support the vassal kings, and naturally he had to choose from Guangxi.

When it comes to the vassal kings in Guangxi, besides King Gui, there is King Jingjiang.

But King Jingjiang's identity was obviously not as noble as King Gui, and Qu Shixi finally chose King Gui.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhu Youlang is close to the water and gets the moon first.

Since you have already placed a bet, you can't regret it.

Qu Shixi had no other choice than to push King Gui to the throne.

If it fails, not only will he, but his family, have to be doomed.

If you have no regrets in making a move, let’s see who is the winner in this game.

...

...

Zheng Zhilong tapped his fingers and looked a little indifferent.

He had just finished reading the handwritten letter sent by King Gui.

This guy really treats himself as the emperor? The whole article is full of command tones, which makes Zheng Zhilong very uncomfortable.

If Dorgon had not given the order, Zheng Zhilong would really not plan to continue to cooperate with this vassal king.

Before, he sent private soldiers to pretend to be Japanese pirates to harass Zhejiang in order to create space for King Gui.

But seeing that King Gui seemed to be dissatisfied with this, he wanted to ask Zheng Zhilong to send troops directly.

There is an essential difference between the two.

If the former pretends to be a Japanese pirate, then the responsibility can be put on the Japanese pirates.

But if you are an army, there will be no room for improvement in the navy.

Although Zheng Zhilong had already invested in the clearance, the news within the Zheng family was not announced.

In other words, Zheng Zhilong has always concealed the matter of the Qing Dynasty, but he is afraid that there are too many oppositions in the family.

If the army was openly used against the court this time, the family members would definitely question Zheng Zhilong why he did this.

Could it be that Zheng Zhilong wants to tell the truth, saying that he had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and wanted to compete for the Qing emperor?

It would be too far-fetched to use the reason of King Gui. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that it was a lies by King Gui slandering the emperor in order to fight for the throne. Will the Zheng family members not be able to see it?

As for clearing the king's side, it is even more unreliable.

Today's emperors are both civil and military, and are rare wise rulers. Which emperor in the Qing Dynasty is the king of the Qing Dynasty?

After thinking about it, Zheng Zhilong still felt that this reason was difficult to find.

So he kept dragging it down and didn't really raise his troops.

But now King Gui has raised his troops and sent someone to send a handwritten letter to ask Zheng Zhilong to raise his troops immediately.

If Zheng Zhilong refused, wouldn’t he have broken up with King Gui?

This is something Dorgon, the regent of the Qing court, didn't want to see.

Now King Gui has advanced to Guangdong and will be able to meet with Ding Kuichu soon. If Zheng Zhilong doesn't say anything, it will be a bit unreasonable.

"Oh, it's really difficult."

Zheng Zhilong sighed and decided to convene a discussion within the family to discuss the matter together.

It's a big deal to delay this matter, so just do it.
