King of Tang and Zhu Youjian were imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen in Fengyang because he raised an army to support the king without authorization. He was imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen until King Fu Zhu Yousong ascended the throne in Nanjing and was amnesty for the world, and he was able to gain freedom. He was asked to move to Guangxi, but he did not expect to hear about Nanjing falling on the way, so he went straight to Hangzhou.

He knew that the country would not be without a master for a day, and Nanjing fell. King Lu was the most suitable vassal king to inherit the throne. He came to persuade King Lu to take on this important task because he knew that King Lu was weak in culture and had a weak mind, and was easily bewitched by treacherous ministers, so he rushed along the way and finally arrived in Hangzhou.

In the main hall, Zhu Changqing met the dusty King of Tang, wearing a brocade dress and a vicissitudes of life.

"Meet the Superintendent!"

The King of Tang was about to kneel down. Zhu Changqing hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him up, saying, "Your and my relatives, don't be too polite! Please sit down quickly."

Seeing that Zhu Changqing was elegant and had a steady conversation, the Tang King was a little lost. Are the rumors all false? He sat down with suspicion, and Li Bao brought tea and snacks.

"This time I went south and passed by Hangzhou. I wanted to persuade King Lu to supervise the country, but after entering the city, I realized that I was too worried. King Lu is worthy of being a descendant of our Zhu family and has backbone!" King Tang smiled with relief.

"Brother Wang praised it. The country is in danger. The descendants of our Zhu family should work together to overcome difficulties. Therefore, we still need the help of Brother Wang!" Zhu Changqing was clear about the glorious deeds of the King of Tang that year. At that time, Beijing was in crisis. He dared to violate national rules and recruit troops to help the king privately. He was not unfair. When he was ordered to return later, he even fought several times with the bandits, winning and losing each other.

A burst of rapid footsteps rang out of the hall, and the servant came to report: "Report to the supervisor, please see the King of Chu!"

Zhu Changqing looked at the King of Tang with interesting interest and said, "Brother Wang, guess what the King of Chu is doing?"

King Zhu Youjian of Tang slowly shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"Let's watch later, brother Wang and see how the King of Chu." Zhu Changqing didn't know about the King of Chu. Nowadays, the vassal kings have lost their fiefdom and can only live everywhere. The King of Chu didn't know where they came from Hangzhou.

After a while, the servant led a handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes into the hall, wearing a red five-clawed dragon robe, a black gauze and a horn-shaped scarf, a neckline and a jade belt, a waist.

"Brother of Chu, this is Brother of Tang." Zhu Changqing saw that the King of Chu looked at King of Tang from time to time, and introduced first.

Upon hearing this, the King of Chu hurriedly bowed to the King of Tang. Then he turned to Zhu Changqing to see the ceremony and sat down at Zhu Changqing's sign.

"When did Brother Chu come to Hangzhou?" Zhu Changqing looked at the heroic young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, just like he was full of energy when he pacified the six kingdoms.

"Brother Wang, today is here." King Zhu Huabi of Chu said aloud. Seeing that the brother Wang who had met for the first time in front of him was so kind, the tension in his heart gradually disappeared.

"I don't know what happened, but I can let Brother Wang come to Hangzhou in person?"

"I'm not hiding it from Brother Wang. I heard that Nanjing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and was both shattered and afraid that the country would be unparalleled, so I came to persuade Brother Wang to ascend to the great treasure as soon as possible, inherit the throne, and fight to the death with the Tartars!"

Zhu Huabi's passionate look attracted the attention of King Zhu Youjian of Tang. Unexpectedly, the two of them came to Hangzhou and had the same purpose.

Zhu Changqing secretly praised in his heart that it was really rare to have such strong royal children at the vassal of the clan at this time. But he wanted to try the King of Chu to see if he was a naughty person. So he pretended to be helpless and said, "I am not his talent... Besides, the Qing army is powerful, and I am a little and few generals..."

When Zhu Huabi saw King Lu's appearance of cowardice, he couldn't help but change his expression. He immediately stood up and took two steps forward. He said with a little anger in his tone: "Why are the supervisors afraid of the Qing army? The descendants of the Zhu family should carry a three-foot sword to survive and die with the country. Xiao Wang is willing to be the front-runner, seeking a sized place for the death of the country!"

Excitedly, Zhu Huabi opened his arms and stared at Zhu Changqing, feeling sorry for his heart. He had always heard that King Lu was fond of antiques, calligraphy and painting, and was indifferent to national affairs. After entering the city, he heard that King Lu told the whole city to live and die with Hangzhou. He thought he had misunderstood King Lu, but now he saw him, he was really a coward.

Li Bao, who was serving Zhu Changqing, leaned forward with some vigilance, ready to stand in front of Zhu Changqing at any time.

Zhu Changqing looked at the King of Chu with a expressionless face, and then said, "Now the camp soldiers are weak, I am afraid they will not be appointed. I wonder what good strategies are there in the King of Chu?"

"Now tens of thousands of camps are in urgent need of training. The defeated soldiers of Zheng Hongkui, the general of Zhenjiang, can be collected and ordered to be stationed in Qiantang. The Zhejiang Provincial Administration Commissioner deposited gold and salt transportation department store silver, recruited good people from eastern Zhejiang, and recruited troops from the fifth camp, and arrived in one day! The wise men of the Wang brother are far away from his brother, and the people from far and near come back to his heart. As long as he is firm, he must fight with the Qing army. Why do he belittle himself and fear difficulties and fight?!"

After saying that, the King of Chu was already shattering his silver teeth, his eyes were bloodshot, his crown was thrusting away, and his sleeves were about to leave.

Seeing the young King of Chu in this way, the King of Tang hurriedly got up and grabbed the King of Chu's sleeve, and paused his feet and explained: "Oh, Brother King of Chu, don't be angry, you're a misunderstanding! You're a misunderstanding!"

"Brother Wang is really strong and has the style of Chengzu. Brother Wang is just joking, don't take it seriously. Since you are determined to live and die with Hangzhou, how can you be afraid to fight?" Zhu Changqing saw that the King of Chu was really angry, so he hurried forward and picked up the crown belt that fell to the ground and explained sincerely.

The King of Chu's anger was suddenly poured on a basin of cold water and extinguished in an instant. After calming down, he felt enlightened and thought that the country was just being tested by me?

"Come on, come on, sit down! The country wanted to see your intentions, Brother Wang. As expected, the descendants of our Zhu family who could come to Hangzhou at this time are all kindled!" The King of Tang smiled and patted the King of Chu's back, and said with relief. He was banned by the high wall for many years, and his spirit had long been smoothed out. But when he saw the young King of Chu today, it was like seeing himself. It was really a vicissitudes of life.

"What happened to Zheng Hongkui, the general officer of Zhenjiang, who was just mentioned by Brother Wang?" Zhu Changqing asked. He heard the King of Chu mention Qiantang River just now, which suddenly aroused the thoughts of the First Emperor. When he was on the east tour, he saw Qiantang. It was really a wave of waves, thunder and roaring, and the water waves were extremely evil. When he saw the scene in Qiantang, he was frightened. I don't know how it looks now.

The King of Chu took a deep breath, calmed down, and replied: "When I came here, I saw the Ming Zhoushi on the banks of Qiantang River in the south of the city. I asked for a while and found out that it was General Zhennan and the subordinates of Zheng Hongkui, the general of Zhenjiang general. They retreated from Zhenjiang and are now gathering the defeated troops."

After hearing this, Zhu Changqing's eyes sterned. Zheng Hongkui arrived in Hangzhou and did not come to pay his respects to him as soon as possible. I don't know what he was planning.

The King of Tang also noticed Zheng Hongkui's strangeness. King Lu was already in charge of the country. You, a general, did not worship him when you entered Hangzhou. Do you need the general to do it yourself if you gathered the defeated soldiers? Obviously not, then what are you, Zheng Hongkui, hesitating? Could it be that you want to see the situation again and wait for the price?

"Responsible for the country, Zheng Hongkui's boatman still needs to find a way to take over. If Hangzhou Bay cannot be controlled, the city will be difficult to defend." Seeing that Zhu Changqing's face was slightly chilling, the King of Chu guessed that Zheng Hongkui must be waiting for the price. The so-called adding icing on the cake is worse than giving timely help. The small abacus is jingling.

"What Brother Wang said is very true. I will order someone to summon Zheng Hongkui to see you!" Zhu Changqing nodded. For Hangzhou, the boat master is very important and must be in his own hands.

"Brother Wang, I see, it's better for Brother Wang to go to his camp in person and reward the army...so..." The King of Chu looked at Zhu Changqing with a bright and sage in his eyes.

Zhu Changqing suddenly realized when he heard this, and couldn't help but stroking his hands and praised: "Brother Wang's brilliant plan!"

The King of Tang naturally understood that it doesn’t matter if Zheng Hongkui had little thoughts, so that his soldiers knew that who could give them food was the most important thing. Nowadays, joining the army is just to have a full meal.

The three brothers looked at each other and laughed. For a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious. Zhu Changqing seemed to have experienced the feeling of the ancestors and sons of the Qin Dynasty working together and the brothers fought for the prosperity of the Qin Dynasty. Unfortunately, at that time, he could only carry the Qin country alone and ruthlessly. Only in the late night, when the people were quiet, he tried to feel the deep friendship between father and son and brother from the book, and the father and son of Duke Xian and Duke Xiao.
