Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

Shang Zhixin gritted his teeth and said, "My Shang family ended up like this because of Wu Sangui and Wu Yingxiong. You should all know the person who gave me the 'Chongzhen Legacy Edict' and Zhu Cijiong Jade Letter, the one who followed Liu Xuanchu behind his ass. Turned Yang Qilong!

He originally pretended to be a monk in Beijing, but in fact he was a member of King Pingxi, and he had been doing things for Wu Yingxiong.He was the one who came to me that day with Wu Yingxiong's autographed letter, Chongzhen's last edict, and Zhu Cijiong's jade certificate... By the way, I still have Wu Yingxiong's autographed letter from that bastard! "

And a handwritten letter!

It seems to be true!

At this time, Jin Guangjin's old military master also had an expression of enlightenment: "No wonder the soldiers of the false third prince Zhu are so good at fighting, and they are so powerful when it rains heavily and can't use Zhuge Tianlei. It turns out that Wu Sangui's people are helping them!"

Wu Sangui's army is recognized as the strongest below the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners!

If Wu Sangui sent fierce men in the army to be the backbone of the third prince Zhu, then it would not be surprising that the third prince Zhu's army was particularly capable of fighting.

Moreover, Wu Sangui also has a channel to send people to Guangdong. Zu Zeqing, the chief soldier of Gao Lei, is Wu Sangui's cousin, one of his own!

Zhao Desheng, the commander-in-chief of Zhangzhou in Fujian, is also Wu Sangui's old department, next to Chaozhou!

Seeing that Jin Guang, Li Tianzhi, and Wang Guodong were all stunned, Shang Zhixin stomped his feet and said, "If you don't believe me, come back home with me...I'll show it to you!"

While talking, he didn't wait for a few people to agree, he stood up and went down the Dongguan City Tower, and then went straight to Shizi Mansion.

Jin Guang, Li Tianzhi, and Wang Guodong looked at each other, and they had no choice but to follow them to the Prince's Mansion.

A group of people arrived outside the Shizi Mansion, only to find that there are "official mountains and official seas", full of officials from Guangdong Province or Guangzhou Mansion who came to inquire about news.

Guangzhou is the capital of Guangdong. In addition to the Pingnan Wangfu system, there are also Futai yamen, and there are a lot of yamen in Fantai, Guitai, Xuetai, Daotai, etc.There are a bunch of officials in every yamen, and now these officials and lords have heard that King Pingnan was defeated, so they all came to the Shizi Mansion to inquire about the news.

In addition, Shang Kexi has more than 30 adult sons who are also in Guangzhou City, and now they have come to find their father... Shang Kexi is their real father, if there is no one, then the eldest brother is the father, Shang Zhi believes The heir to Pingnan King, continue to be the father of the big guy!

Chapter 172 I want to kill Wu Yingxiong and force against Wu Sangui!

"Brother, what happened to our Ama?"

"Brother, you have given me a letter of approval. Are we going to wear sackcloth and filial piety?"

"My lord, my lord, has he already..."

"My lord, is Guangzhou City going to..."

"My lord, is the prince's army defeated? Is this Guangzhou city going to fall?"

"Master, don't go, you should give me a letter!"

Shang Zhixin's horse just ran to the street outside the main gate of the Shizi Mansion, and he couldn't walk anymore. A lot of people stopped there to ask questions, and they would not let him pass if he didn't answer. Some of them called him "big brother..." ...But Shang Zhixin doesn't know them very well.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, the son is returning home, don't block the road!"

Of course, Shang Zhixin couldn't say on the street that his Ama had been arrested, and his current thoughts were all about how to ruthlessly trick Wu Sangui and his son!

He... is the kind of ruthless person who knows he can't get better and won't let others get better!

Seeing that the prince didn't intend to "answer the questions and pass the level", the soldiers who followed him rushed forward to clear the way.

This group of soldiers had been guarding Shang Zhixin on the Dongguan City Tower before, so of course they knew the "truth", so they were a little frustrated at the moment. When they saw officials who were young or monks who were not related to father and son, they just beat him with their scabbards. After going up, he cut a road abruptly, and then entered the gate of the mansion with Shang Zhixin.

However, those of them who are personal soldiers all have "long eyes", and not everyone beats everyone. When they see "Shang Zhimou" or someone who is a high-ranking official, they let them enter the Prince's Mansion together.

So when Shang Zhixin got off his horse, he was immediately surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials and brothers. The big guys couldn't help but enter the main hall of Shizifu with Shang Zhixin in their arms.Jin Guang, Li Tianzhi, and Wang Guodong also followed in, while Shang Zhixin's personal soldiers watched from outside the door, preventing idlers from approaching.

"My lord, what happened to the lord? How was the result of the battle outside the city? Can the city of Guangzhou still be defended?"

It was none other than Zhu Hechi's old acquaintance in Chaozhou, Xue Zhang, who stood up to ask questions.

Tixue is hand-picked, and he is second only to the governor and governor in a province... Not to mention the real power of Tixue, but the respected status.In the absence of the governor and governor, local officials can learn and respect.

Now the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, Jin Guangzu, is in Zhaoqing, while the governor of Guangdong, Liu Bingquan, is left in Mianhuzhai by Shang Kexi to raise food and grass for the army to attack Jieyang County.

Therefore, the officials who are still in the Guangzhou prefecture are respected by the admiral Xue Zhang!

Shang Zhixin knew that Xue Zhang, the admiral Xuezheng, came with the emperor's order... I don't know what the emperor's order is. It should be spying on the Shang family, right?

That's enough, the credit for killing Wu Yingxiong will be given to him for nothing!

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin said to Xue Zhang: "Xue Xuetai, my Ama was defeated and captured, and more than half of my family's green camp of the flag army has been lost. Now there are only two to three thousand elite soldiers in the city of Guangzhou. Only ten thousand old and weak women and children were beaten...Guangzhou City can no longer be defended!"

"what?"

"how can that be?"

"Brother, Amata..."

"Ama, why are you gone?"

"Woooo..."

Xue Zhang, who was asking the question, was not doing well, and a group of "Shang Zhimou" began to cry.Shang Zhixin saw that they all hated them, and in a bad mood, he howled: "Don't cry! Why are you crying? You're fucking dying, why are you crying?"

That's right, I'm about to die, so what spare time do I have to cry for the old man?

"This, how is this possible?" Xue Zhang has already reacted, and his face, which looks particularly dignified, is full of panicked expressions.

He was the enemy of the third grandson of Zhu and Da Boling - grandson Zhu was almost killed by him!But Da Boling misunderstood Su Li as the cause of his death!

If he were to fall into the hands of the third grandson of Zhu, wouldn't Ling Chi be smashed?This is not acceptable!

"How is it impossible?" Shang Zhixin's face was ashen, "With the help of Wu Sangui's people, and Zhuge Yaodao's Samadhi True Fire, it is not surprising that my Ama was defeated and captured!"

As he spoke, he glanced sharply across the hall, "Where's Liu Xuanchu? Has he come?"

Xue Zhang was shocked by Shang Zhixin's words, but he still subconsciously said: "Manager Liu is not here, he has gone to Gaozhou."

Liu Xuanchu is not stupid, and he is not a local official in Guangdong, nor is he an official in the Pingnan Palace, he has no responsibility to guard the land, he can go anywhere he wants!

So after Zhu Heqi's army arrived at the city of Guangzhou, he ran away to Gaozhou, Zu Zeqing's hometown, under the protection of the small number of soldiers Zu Zeqing left in Guangzhou Fucheng.

But Wu Sangui's chief military adviser never thought that he would be wronged sometimes!

"Huh!" Shang Zhixin snorted, "That's him! He and Wu Yingxiong's confidant Yang Qilong are the inner support of the third prince Zhu... Wu Sangui has also been secretly supporting the third prince!"

what?

Are you, Prince Pingnan, crazy?

Xue Zhang was stunned, and he regretted not running away earlier... He is not a magistrate in Guangdong, nor is he responsible for guarding the land.

However, in order to act like a brave and loyal minister, he stayed in Guangzhou and did not run away. In the end, he knew something he shouldn't know... I don't know how to step down now?

At this time, Shang Zhixin said to himself again: "Don't believe me, I have evidence!"

Xue Zhangxin said: "If you have evidence, don't tell me. I'm a student of politics, and I'm in charge of the imperial examinations!"

Shang Zhixin took out the "letter of introduction" that Wu Yingxiong had given to Yang Qilong and handed it to Xue Zhang, and then said word by word: "Wu Yingxiong's confidant Yang Qilong took this letter, as well as the imperial edict of Chongzhen and the imperial edict of King Ding, to Guangdong to find him. mine!"

"What?" Xue Zhang looked at Shang Zhixin, almost at a loss for words, "Then, didn't they copy it from Danan Mountain?"

"No!" Shang Zhixin patted his chest, "I deceived the emperor! It was sent by Wu Yingxiong... At that time, I thought he wanted to support the bandit with me, and keep the fake third prince Zhu to resist the emperor. Unexpectedly, he was using my hand to create momentum for the false Third Prince Zhu, and by the way clear his father Wu Sangui's name!

And his father Wu Sangui must have sent many brave generals to help the false third prince Zhu fight..."

There are beads of sweat all over Xue Zhang's forehead. He just wants to be an official in peace and stability. It's best to be greedy, but he still has to be an official if he doesn't have to be greedy... But now why does he always talk about beheading and exile? How close?

"My son, my lord, you can't talk nonsense!" Xue Zhang had to stammer to remind Shang Zhixin.

Shang Zhixin snorted: "I'm not afraid, I'll do things alone... I'll write a letter of apology, plus Wu Yingxiong's letter as physical evidence, and ask Jin Junshi to take it to the north. I also ask Xue Ti to learn from the emperor. Here is a secret book, explaining the ins and outs of this matter clearly."

"Everything, I've made it clear, the imperial court is going to send someone to arrest you!"

Shang Zhixin snorted again, "I'm not afraid! I'm just here in Guangzhou City, waiting for the people from the imperial court to arrest me!"

As soon as he said this, Shang Zhijie's voice suddenly sounded outside the hall: "It's not good, big brother, it's not good... something serious happened!"

Shang Zhixin turned his head to look at the gate, and saw his good brother Shang Zhijie crawling in from outside.This guy suffered a serious crime at first glance. His mandarin jacket was all strips of cloth, and he was walking with a limp on a wooden stick. Long hair on the back of the head.

Shang Zhixin looked at him and asked, "What's the matter? Did Ama get arrested by Zhu? I already knew about it!"

Shang Zhijie cried and said, "There is more! Brother, when I entered the city just now, I saw rebel warships on the Pearl River... These warships are going west along the Pearl River, and it seems that they are going to detour around the Liuxi River to destroy us. Back off!"

Chapter 173 Let's Escape Together!

As soon as Shang Zhijie's words came out, everyone in the main hall of Pingnan Prince's Mansion panicked!

Liuxi River is a tributary of the Pearl River. As long as Zhu Heqi's army boarded a ship at the Nanhai Temple Wharf, they would go west along the Pearl River to the west of Guangzhou City, and then turn into the West Waterway of the Pearl River. Liuxihe.

And once the army of Zhu San Taisun enters the Pearl River West Waterway and Liuxi River, Guangzhou City will basically be surrounded!

At that time, the big guys can only wait in the city of Guangzhou to be loyal!

"Master, what should we do?" Xue Zhang was also in a hurry, he didn't want to fall into Zhu Heqi's hands, "Can Guangzhou City still be defended? Where should we go to send reinforcements?"

In the main hall, everyone's eyes turned to Shang Zhixin, waiting for him to make up his mind.

Although this guy has already committed a capital crime, the only ones who can be beaten in Guangzhou are his direct subordinates and Qigu-coated assistants, a total of 500 people... These people are all tied together by the monk's letter.

Shang Zhixin's expression was calm, and he said coldly: "What's the big deal? Wouldn't it be better to go 36 times? From the South China Sea Temple to the Liuxi River is the upstream, and the boat of the rebels will not go fast... Let's go immediately." There is still time to go!"

"Brother, where are you going?" One of Shang Zhixin's brothers immediately asked.

Shang Zhidao: "Now there are three places to go, one is to go north to Shaozhou; the other is to go west to Zhaoqing Prefecture; the third is to go west to Sanshui County, and then turn back and go south to Xinhui County."

"Brother, where are you going?" "Shang Zhimou" asked again.

Shang Zhixin sighed: "Where else can I go? I will be the person who will be punished when I go to the pleading book, and I will go to Beijing to ask for death as soon as the emperor's edict arrives. I should go to Caishikou, I should go to Ningxia. Guta will go to Ning Guta... I, Shang Zhixin, deserve it! So I will go to Xinhui County to wait for death!"

To Xinhui County?

The officials present and "Shang Zhimou" didn't know what to say after hearing the words?Xinhui is a county under Canton Prefecture, surrounded by Xiangshan, Shunde, and Xinning in Canton Prefecture, and Heshan in Zhaoqing Prefecture.Among them, Shunde and Xiangshan have been completely controlled by the third grandson of Zhu.Xinning is the county where Wencun resisted the Qing Dynasty. When Wencun was captured by the Qing Heavenly Soldiers, it is still gratifying to kill people.Later, they relocated the border and banned the sea, and the move was fifty miles... The Xinning people must hate the Shang family, so the Ming army will join them as soon as they arrive.

As for Heshan County, it was also an area where anti-Qing and Ming-ming elements were very active. When the Qing Dynasty entered Guangdong, Wu Xian, a powerful man in Heshan County, donated his family wealth and recruited soldiers from the village to fight against the Qing Dynasty.Later, when Wu Xian failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Qing Dynasty would naturally not let the Heshan people go... and Heshan Mountain is full of mountains and forests, and there are plenty of places where Wu Xian's remnants can hide.When Zhu San's army arrives, why don't they respond together?

So Xinhui will be a lonely city when the time comes, how will Emperor Kangxi arrest Shang Zhixin, kill him at Caishikou, and exile him in Ninggu Pagoda?

It seems that Kangxi can only send people to Xinhui to catch Shang Zhixin only if he sends out the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to defeat the third grandson and third prince Zhu first, and recover Guangzhou Mansion!

Is this difficulty a bit high?

Facing everyone's skeptical gazes, Shang Zhixin said to Xue Zhang plausibly: "Please tell the emperor Xue Tixue that Xinhui is the only county in Guangdong that is loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and the servant will keep this loyal land for the Qing Dynasty no matter what." Land. After the Heavenly Soldiers of the Eight Banners arrive in Guangdong and completely eradicate Zhu San and Wu Sangui and Wu Sangui, the slaves will naturally go to Beijing to lead them to death."

I don't know if Emperor Kangxi would vomit blood for three liters when he heard this?Xue Zhang thought to himself: "This Shang Zhixin is the one who pokes a hornet's nest! He poked a huge hornet's nest himself and hid in Xinhui, so that the emperor would be stung by Wu Sangui, the third prince Zhu, and Zhu Sansun..."

Ke Shangzhixin doesn't care so much at this time.He has already pleaded guilty, and he is still waiting to be arrested on the land of the Qing Dynasty. If Kangxi can't catch him, then he can't be blamed, right?He is a criminal, should he help the court arrest him?

Shang Zhixin looked around and found that everyone had nothing to say, so he coughed and said, "It's getting late, let's go away... This Guangzhou can't be defended anymore, you all run for your lives! Anyone who wants to go to the Xinhui with the lord, stay and follow!"

Go to Xinhui?Isn't this courting death?Shang Zhixin committed a capital crime and went to Xinhui to avoid death. Others did not commit a capital crime, so why did they go to Xinhui?

So the officials in the hall and the "Shang Zhimou" retired one after another, went back to pack their things, brought their families with them, and prepared to run out of the city.

However, there were still a few people who did not run away. Shi Li Tianzhi, Chief of the Pingnan Palace, and Wang Guodong, the commander-in-chief, did not leave.

Shang Zhixin glanced at the two of them: "Li Changshi, Wang Zongrong, do you want to follow me, the person who treats the crime?"

Li Tianzhi sighed and said with a wry smile: "The slave is the head of the palace. Now that the old prince is gone, you are the new prince. Wherever you go, the minister will also go."

Wang Guodong directly referred to Shang Zhixin as the prince, "My lord, this slave has always been yours, wherever you go, the slave will follow!"

Shang Zhixin nodded and thought to himself: "These two people are quite smart, they both see that the road to Zhaoqing and Shaozhou is not easy... because most people will go to those two places, and the soldiers of the third grandson of Zhu will definitely go there. I will go after those two directions.

And there is no good fruit to escape, the emperor has already issued an order to let Kong Sizhen and Sun Yanling lead troops to Guangdong.

Most of the people who go to Zhaoqing and Shaozhou now will be forced by Kong Sizhen, a stinky bitch, to fight Zhu San and his son, and sooner or later they will die in battle. "

Thinking of this, Shang Zhixin laughed a few times: "Then prepare quickly... Remember, don't bring too much luggage and money, just run out, money is useless!"

He paused, and then said: "After you gather people together, go to the Sifang Fort to gather first, and we will start from there.

Also, Li Changshi, Wang Zongbing, you send someone to tell my brothers that there are still several million taels of silver that the old man scooped up in the treasury of the Wangfu, and I don’t need it anymore, they still need it , Tell them to come and get it quickly, as much as they can get! "

Both Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong were shocked when they heard the words, and said in their hearts, "This Shang Zhixin is really cruel, to actually let his own brothers run away with a lot of money at this time..."

However, the two of them complied, and then split up to make arrangements for their escape.

After Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong were gone, Shang Zhixin called his own Fujin, master and housekeeper, first arranged for the whole family to run away, and then asked his master to draw up a confession letter, and Wu Sangui , Wu Yingxiong "bitten" to the bone seven or eight points.Then he copied it himself again, and then sent someone to send this terrible copy to Admiral Xuezheng Xuezhang.

After arranging all this, he asked someone to open the door of the palace treasury, and without waiting for the brothers to come to get the money, he took his family and went to the Sifang Fort first, under the guard of his direct subordinate Zuoling and Qigu Baoyi. ——Shang Zhixin's family members directly under Zuoling and Qigu Baoyi have already packed up and moved into Sifang Fortress!

Not long after Shang Zhixin arrived, Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong also drove over with two or three thousand Green Battalion soldiers supporting the old and the young.

Seeing that all these people had arrived, Shang Zhixin led them out of the Sifang Fort without any delay, and disappeared into the vast fields in the northwest of Guangzhou City.

As soon as Shang Zhixin left, Guangzhou City fell into the greatest panic!

Most of the people in Guangzhou now have something to do with the characters "flag" and "official"!

That is to say, they are the accomplices and running dogs of Shang Kexi, a loyal slave of the Qing Dynasty who is "excessively loyal". If the Cantonese soldiers of the third prince Zhu can catch them, how can they survive?
