Autumn of the 17th year of Chongzhen

Chapter 643 Yu Wang Zhu Yu'e

A large number of men in black had gathered outside the mountain gate, and the sound of killing was ups and downs. Ten sword and shield fighters of the Ming army were in front, ten spearmen put their guns on the shield wall, and thirty bird gunners stood on the steps in front of the mountain gate. , fifty soldiers quickly protected the mountain gate.

More than 60 archers and gunners squatted on the courtyard wall and roof, and the rest were in the front yard, holding their swords and guns tightly and waiting.

The man in black who rushed up did not rush. After being knocked down by the musketeer, he immediately stopped a hundred steps away from the mountain gate and exchanged shots with the guards.

All of a sudden, bullets flew randomly, hitting the shield, and sparks flew everywhere. Among this group of men in black, there were actually nearly a hundred gunners, who also used the same three-column round strike method, obviously not some bandits.

However, although the men in black had many gunners, they were obviously not as good as the guards in terms of training. They shot a round and killed a few people, and the rest did not dare to line up to shoot. The guard suppressed it.

On the stone steps in the distance, the young man in the forest was dressed in black, looking at the Yunfeng Temple on the top of the mountain and the black-clothed soldiers constantly rushing up.

The young man was none other than Longwu's younger brother Yu Wang Zhu Yu'e, his eyes were gloomy like water, no one knew what he was thinking, and no one dared to disturb his thoughts.

King Gui Zhu Youlang, not only Emperor Longwu wanted to get rid of him quickly, but also King Tang, King Yu and the ministers who supported the Tang Dynasty did not want him to continue to live in the world.

The reason why the two kings want to kill King Gui is basically the same as that of Emperor Longwu, because once Longwu dies, King Gui, as the heir of the legal line, is very likely to be proclaimed emperor by others, but Longwu killed King Gui because he wanted to pass the throne to the young prince. However, Yu Wang, Su Guansheng and others wanted to quote "brother end brother and brother" to support Tang Wang Zhu Yunai to the throne and keep the imperial line in the hands of Tang Fan.

For Su Guansheng, a university scholar, when the Qing soldiers invaded Guangnan, he had already completely turned against King Gui, and the behavior of King Gui fleeing in a hurry during the Guangnan Incident also made him think that King Gui was not a British lord. Too young, obviously not suitable for succession, so only Tang Wang Zhu Yukai, who had resisted the Qing soldiers in Guangjing Jianguo, could be the best candidate for the support of the Tang faction.

In fact, at this time, the position of Su Guansheng's faction was very embarrassing. First of all, they supported Longwu, but their ideas were different from Longwu's, so that they were very careful in their activities, because once Longwu knew their thoughts, they might Become an enemy of the Emperor.

The assassination of King Gui this time was planned by the great scholar Su Guansheng and the two kings. They were also very worried about Wang Yan's position. Aiming at King Gui, but King Yu obviously had a different idea at this time.

Standing behind King Yu was the big man with Zhaxu, seven feet tall, strong in build, dark skin like a black bear, holding a big iron gun.

This brawny man is also a celebrity, he was a great pirate who traveled across the Guangdong Sea, and he is Xu Guixiang, one of the four surnamed pirates.

At the beginning, Zheng Zhibao joined forces with the four pirates to block Guangdong Sea, trying to lock Wang Yan to death, but was defeated by the navy. The four pirates died twice, and only he escaped by chance.

In the past few years, Guangnan Sea Trade has developed rapidly, and there are countless ships going to and from the sea every day. It should be said that his life should be messy, and it is indeed the case. At first he robbed many ships and made a fortune, but in recent days But it's getting worse.

In addition to the fact that the Guangdong Navy has launched a new ship, the ship is narrow and long, and is equipped with large oars. It is faster than the lucky boat of the pirates. The Jinghai Commercial Bank in the background has very strong guards, not to mention robbery, pirates will go around when they see it.

It's not easy to mix at sea. The pirates Shibi and Ma Xuansheng of the four surnames who surrendered in the past, now have their identities washed out and become admirals of the navy. This makes Xu Guixiang very regretful. Now it seems that it would be better not to escape, but to surrender directly.

The navy vigorously encircled and suppressed the pirates in the South China Sea to ensure smooth trade, so Xu Guixiang wanted to go ashore. It happened that Tang Wang was not powerful enough, and the two sides hit it off, and Xu Guixiang took refuge in Tang Wang's command.

Although the king of Tang mastered the Japanese army compiled and trained by the lower-level clan, the clan's children were basically useless. The main force of this operation was Xu Guixiang's more than 300 elite pirates.

At this time, he was very anxious. He knew that the soldiers of Zhaoqing Prefecture were gathering recently for winter training. Many soldiers had gathered near Xinxing County. Just now, a firework on the mountain shot straight into the night sky. It was obviously a call for help. , They are afraid that the whole army will be wiped out.

"Your Highness!" Xu Guixiang stepped forward to interrupt Zhu Yu'e's thoughts, and said in a low voice, "We must step up our attack and rush in quickly."

"No hurry, wait for the signal!" Zhu Yu'e was interrupted, looked back at him, and said calmly.

"I'm afraid that the government soldiers from Xinxing County will come to support me." Xu Guixiang bowed with his fists clasped.

Zhu Yu'e obviously thought about this issue, "Xingxing County is nearly twenty miles away from here, and it's dark now, and they won't be able to come in less than half an hour."

Xu Guixiang listened, and it’s not easy to say anything, Zhu Yu’e’s eyes turned to the top of the mountain, he was waiting for the signal, the Taoist temple guarded by more than 100 Ming soldiers is not easy to fight, these guards are all elite, and they occupy favorable terrain, the best way is to attack from east to west , a frontal feint, let the master sneak into the backyard to start.

The person who sneaked into the backyard was a master of pirates, but after the agreed time passed, the signal was delayed.Did some accident happen?
Zhu Yu'e looked up at the sky, the cock was about to crow, if it was a little later, he might be made dumplings as Xu Guixiang said.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu'e finally turned his head and nodded to Xu Guixiang: "Chief Xu, I will give you a quarter of an hour to break through the mountain gate! After this is done, I will guarantee you to be the chief soldier."

Xu Guixiang was overjoyed, he clasped his fists solemnly, and immediately shouted: "Brother, come with me and attack the mountain gate fiercely. Whoever enters first will be rewarded."

More than 200 vicious sea bandits shouted, followed Xu Guixiang and rushed up the mountain quickly along the steps. The Japanese soldiers on the top of the mountain feared their hands and feet, and immediately made way for these people.

Zhu Yu'e looked at them rushing up, but his face was a little uneasy. He didn't know if he did the right thing this time, but he thought there shouldn't be any problem.

Now that the Ming and Qing are facing each other, and the envoys of the Manchu and Qing peace have come to Guangjing, the Qing army can no longer destroy the Ming Dynasty, and the country is no longer in danger of subjugation as before.

External forces cannot subvert the Zhu family for the time being, but internally, as soon as King Gui dies, the throne will be firmly held in the hands of their Tang clan. Being able to obey the imperial court's orders, and the imperial court can control the Five Loyalty Army, and can suppress Jin Shenghuan and Zheng Chenggong, then the Zhu family's country will be completely stable.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yu'e couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, but at this moment, a subordinate pointed to the foot of the mountain and exclaimed: "Your Highness, it's not good, soldiers are coming soon."
