The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 318 "Eternal Calendar" meritorious service

Zhu Linmi followed the sound and turned her head to look, and saw a handsome man in his 20s with a mustache jumping off his horse and walking towards him with his arms outstretched. It was King Gui Zhu Youlang.

According to seniority, Zhu Youlang is from the "You" generation of King Gui, who is inferior to the generation of Zhu Linming, who is from the "Lin" generation of King Tang, so he should be called an uncle.

However, this Zhu Youlang was wearing a cumbersome red four-ball dragon gauze gown with nine slits on his head and a jade belt hanging around his waist. , but the speed is hard to get up.

Zhu Linmi immediately frowned, "Why did King Gui come here?"

"Nephew..." Zhu Youlang looked at Xu Feihu and the others who were escorting him behind him, and said with a smile, "I felt a little uncomfortable on the way, so I walked slowly."

In fact, he was in the temporary camp of the Dragon Guards seven miles away.Zhu Linmi received a report from the hussars who were monitoring the enemy army, saying that they had discovered Ding Kui's Chu army, and immediately sent a company of personal soldiers to pick up King Gui.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Youlang was very timid. Hearing that Ding Kuichu's main force was coming, and he was going to the front line, he immediately delayed in various ways, and it took less than half an hour to get out of the three miles.

Xu Feihu really couldn't stand it anymore, so he had to scare him, saying that if this continues to delay the military affairs of the assistant king, since the Dragon Guards have strict military discipline, they may be dealt with according to military law.

Zhu Youlang was taken aback, so he reluctantly speeded up.

Zhu Linmi raised her finger and pointed at the enemy, and said with a smile: "It's just in time. Now is the time when King Gui is needed, and the peace of Guangxi depends on you."

Zhu Youlang glanced at Ding Kuichu's dark army formation, and wanted to say something more, when Xu Feihu whispered next to his ear: "Your Highness, don't disobey the military order."

He had no choice but to swallow hard, gritted his teeth and waved: "Then, then come..."

Immediately, someone rushed to the special carriage that had been prepared long ago. The carriage was more than one foot high and was pulled by six horses.When Zhu Youlang set off, he wore a full body of cotton armor inside. At this time, seeing the heavy cavalry of the Dragon Guards who were in charge of protecting him, he hurriedly asked for a cavalry breastplate to hang on, and then put the python robe on the outside. I feel a little more at ease.

Then he climbed onto the roof of the car, which was more than ten feet high, and clung to the guardrail with all his strength, with soldiers from his own company guarding him in the center.Immediately, under the cover of forty heavy cavalry, the carriage headed straight towards Ding Kuichu's formation.

Ding Kuichu's men and horses were still immersed in the dream of supporting the new king, when they saw something like a building car slowly approaching.When they got closer, they saw a man in a red robe standing on the roof of the car, and the dragon patterns on his chest and shoulders were clearly visible.

A senior military officer took out his binoculars to look at the man's face, and immediately exclaimed, "King Gui...ah, no, His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

The words of the officers quickly spread throughout the army, and the soldiers all looked at each other in blank dismay. If it weren't for the banner officers to control them, they might have knelt down and shouted "Long live".

Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to the enemy, Zhu Youlang hurriedly shouted, "Stop!", but the car drove straight to about a hundred steps in front of the formation before stopping.

He glanced down and saw that the enemy soldiers were standing there in a daze, not intending to make a move, so he strengthened his courage and shouted loudly: "I am King Gui!"

As soon as these words came out, Ding Kuichu's people stared at him even more - if it was said that the Son of Heaven wanted to march in person, he came from the enemy camp.But at this time, how can he call himself "King Gui"?
Zhu Youlang saw tens of thousands of horses being honest and honest in front of him, but he also found some domineering feeling, and he spoke more and more sharply, "At the beginning, Ding Kuichu used weapons to force me to do big treason and injustice, and trapped me in infidelity. But it's not my heart.

"I am a family member of the Ming Dynasty, and I have never dared to make a plan. It is the ambition of the Ding family, who wants to use my name to compete with the court, but it is actually hitting a stone with an egg. I hope that the generals of the Guangxi army will not follow the rebels and commit heinous crimes." mortal sin.

"A few days ago, [-] Cantonese troops were wiped out in Fujing in an instant, and you and others have been surrounded, how can there be no reason for invincibility?

"Yesterday, there was an edict from the Holy Spirit that anyone who turns against him before the battle is still loyal to the Ming Dynasty. Those who resist in the corner will be punished as treason!"

After he finished speaking, Ding Kui's Chu army suddenly became chaotic.

"King Gui has not ascended the throne yet?"

"Ding Dutang coerced King Gui to plot rebellion?"

"Without King Gui, what if we win this battle?"

"That's right! If it weren't for everyone saying that King Gui is a vassal, who would want to fight against the court..."

At this time, Ding Kuichu knew that King Gui had arrived in front of the two armies, and he felt a buzzing in his head—either Wuzhou had been captured by the court, or King Gui had been in the army of King Chen, and he was deceived!

But no matter what the situation is, it means that the lie that he said "King Gui ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor" has been exposed.He hastily ordered Chen Ke, "Hurry up and take King Gui! Oh, by the way, this is not King Gui, but a fake!"

Chen Ke immediately took the order to go, stepped on the horse and called the officers of the army to take down the "Fake King Gui".But those people all looked at him with strange expressions, and even shrank back faintly—there were many people who had seen King Gui, and it was King Gui himself who was speaking in front of the battle.

Chen Ke had no choice but to borrow Ding Kuichu's soldiers, plus his own bodyguards, a total of [-] people, pushed aside all the soldiers and rushed to the front of the formation.

Besides, Ding Kuichu's soldiers, one moment ago, dreamed of ascending to the sky in one step, with power and wealth rolling in, but the next moment they were slapped in the face by the real King Gui and turned into rebels.The loss in this is like thousands of leeches churning in their hearts.

On the east side of the battlefield, Zhong Mingyuan also heard his subordinates report the situation before the formation, and immediately closed his eyes and looked up to the sky and sighed, "It's over, it's over..."
