Xinhui County.

On an early morning when the sky was just a little brighter, a team of knights riding a ponies came from the direction of the Xijiang River and entered the heavily guarded Xinhui County. The team of knights were all dressed as heroes in the martial arts world, probably because they were too anxious to go on the road, and they were covered in sweat.

The leader of them was Mr. Li Tianzhi, the chief of the royal family under Shang Zhixin. The man Huang Zhisheng, who had only visited King Zhu Tian, ​​a few days ago, was also among them. He was also dressed as a hero who walked around the world, hurried into the city.

At this time, Xinhui County seemed to be back to the state when the army of Li Dingguo, King of Jin of the Ming Dynasty, was approaching the enemy more than ten years ago. The outside world seemed to be facing a great enemy, and they were strengthening and preparing for war day and night.

Like most of the cities in Guangzhou Prefecture, Xinhui County is standing by the water. It is not just one water, but is located at the confluence of the Tan River, Yashan Waterway and the Xijiang River. The confluence of the Tan River and Yashan Waterway is on the west side of Xinhui County. There is also a canal connecting the Tan River, Yashan Waterway and the Xijiang River, flowing through the south side of Xinhui County.

Xinhui County cleverly used the terrain of the convergence of the three waters, which was built on the Tan River in the west, the Yashan River channel in the south, and the canal in the south. This allowed wide river channels to be protected on both sides of the southwest of the castle, and only the northeastern sides could be violated by the enemy.

After Shangzhixin Sect Shang Kele arrived in Xinhui, the people of Xinhui started to mobilize under the leadership of Huang, Mo and Lisan families. While transporting a large amount of rice into the city by water, in case of emergency needs, they also provided work and materials to strengthen the city for the Shang family army. An outer moat was dug outside the moats on the east and north sides of Xinhui, and a sheep and horse wall and a wooden fence were built in the moats on the northeastern sides.

So when Shang Zhixin took Li Tianzhi, Wang Guodong and others to Xinhui with thousands of elite soldiers for two or three years, the city that appeared in front of him was even stronger than the Xinhui City that made King Li Jin defeated him back then!

But Shang Zhixin was not energetic at all. After entering Xinhui City, he became a hand-off manager and moved into the villa of Pingnan Prince's Mansion in Xinhui. He sang every night, had a banquet every day, and lay down to death equally. He threw all the things about defending the city and preparing for war to Shang Kele, Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong.

As for Shang Kele, who took over the important task of defending the city, Li Tianzhi and Wang Guodong did not persuade Shang Zhixin to cheer up because the three of them knew very well that the sky in Guangdong had changed, and no matter how hard they and the people of Xinhui worked, they would be in vain.

Because when Li Dingguo came last time, he only won the territory of Gao, Lei and Lian in Guangdong, which seemed quite good, but the gains were limited.

Zhu Heying has now taken over ten counties in Guangzhou, including Guangzhou City, Macau City and Foshan Town, all of which are already in his hands.

Not to mention anything else, the dozens of red cannons on the St. Paul's turret in Macau were pulled over and bombarded at Xinhui, and Xinhui could not defend it.

Not to mention Zhu Hezhi, Zhuge Tianlei, Tianhuo Ball, Smoke Bomb

However, the chief minister of Shang Zhixin, Li Tianzhi, still refused to give up hope. He plotted to escape with his friend, the patriarch of the Du Ruan Huang family in Xinhui, Huang Zhisheng, the alternate magistrate of the Qing Dynasty who was a filial son in Dingyou, a villager.

Not long ago, Li Tianzhi and Huang Zhisheng disguised themselves and went to Guangzhou City.

Unlike the situation imagined by Tuhai and others, Zhu Hetian did not send troops to siege Xinhui, and the Ming army did not even go deep into Xinhui County, but set up cards around Xinhui County. There was no way to prevent Xinhui merchants from entering and leaving Xinhui, which was a major agricultural county with many rice fields and sugarcane fields, producing a large amount of rice and sugar.

Rice can support Zhu Hetian's army and Guangzhou citizens, and sugar is now a "military product". Zhu Hetian has no reason not to let Xinhui people sell it to Guangzhou!

In fact, Zhu Heying did not want to stop Shang Zhixin from leaving. He already knew how his third grandson Zhu was actually doing. Yang Qilong told him that it was all created by Wu Yingxiong's monk Zhixin to raise the bandits. Among them, Shang Zhixin, a fool, made great contributions!

So he is different from his traitor, and he has contributed to Zhu Hetong's career. If Zhu Hetong kills him, it is equivalent to setting a precedent for killing heroes.

Zhu Heying, who could not bear to kill the hero, hoped that Shang Zhixin could escape to Beijing alive and let Emperor Kangxi punish him with the ruling of the canon, so that Zhu Heying's own hands would not have to be stained with the blood of the hero.

Moreover, Shang Zhixin’s sin is related to Wu Yingxiong!

Before Kangxi killed him, he would definitely find out all the sins of Wu Yingxiong.

According to Yang Qilong, Shang Zhixin, Wu Yingxiong and Geng Jingzhong followed Liu Guanzhang and started the Apple Orchard Three Fighting, and kowtowed at the Apple Orchard Station on Beijing Metro Line 1!

That place was called Apple Orchard in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there were really many apple trees back then.

If Shang Zhixin was killed by Kangxi, would Wu Yingxiong and Geng Jingzhong have to send troops to avenge his brothers?

Li Tianzhi, Huang Zhisheng, even Shang Kele, Wang Guodong and others also hope that Shang Zhixin can go to Beijing

When Li Tianzhi and Huang Zhisheng arrived at the villa where Shang Zhixin lived, Shang Zhixin, who had just had sex with several concubines all night, was talking nonsense with the spirit of the monk Coke.

Shang Kele came to the monk Zhixin to tell the story of the Yamen Waterway. The old man got a big sea boat from somewhere, and hid it on the pier of Yashan Town that was abandoned due to the sea ban. And these days he also found some old sailors in Xinhui County who had not forgotten how to drive the boat.

Two days ago, Shang Kela followed them on the bird boat to go out to sea!

But Shang Zhixin was not interested in escaping by boat, as if he had made up his mind to die equally in Xinhui City.

Just when Shang Kele didn't know how to persuade him, he heard footsteps outside the house ringing. Before the person arrived, the voice had already arrived. It was Shang Zhixin's confidant Li Tianzhi, who had a little crying voice in his voice: "Criminal, Prince, the Prince, the fake Zhu San Taisun has sent troops, and the fake Zhu San Taisun has sent troops to fight for the Xinhui!"

With a thud, a tea bowl in Shang Zhixin's hand suddenly broke. He saw the prince of Pingnan leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, his head raised to the sky, murmured for no idea what he was saying.

To be honest, he still wants to survive, otherwise he could die equally in Guangzhou. Why did he run to Xinhui to wait for death? But he also knew that he was guilty, and neither the Ming Dynasty nor the Qing Dynasty would spare him no way out!

Oh, he didn't know that he had been included in the column of meritorious officials by Zhu Hetang. He also consciously added the sins of the old traitor Shang Kexi to himself. He is the prince!

He wants to inherit the throne, of course he also wants to inherit the sins, so he cannot escape death!

At this time, Li Tianzhi had already rushed into the house with Huang Zhisheng. Li Tianzhi shouted: "It's over,... After that, the pseudo-San Zhu San sent 30,000 troops to Xinhui, and he also brought many artillery. Xinhui could not defend it!"

"Where are reinforcements from the court?" Shang Kele could barely remain calm.

"The reinforcements from the court are still on the way!" Li Tianzhi said, "Now, there are only 20,000 people brought by Sun Yanling from Guangxi in Zhaoqing and Shaozhou. Zu Zeqing's 4,000 people in Huizhou and some fragmented troops, with a total of less than 30,000!"

"It's over, it's over, it's over." Shang Zhixin shouted three times in a row, and he knew that he had been alive for a few days, "Wine, wine, bring wine!"

Huang Zhisheng, who came with Li Tianzhi, heard his words and quickly went to the wine table next to him to pour a large bowl of "Chaozhou White", which was the "sauce-flavored sugarcane wine". He held it to Shang Zhixin, and he took it and was stuffed with it. But when he got the white wine, he felt something was wrong. The wine seemed to be very strong, and he got up at once, and he felt sleepy and couldn't hold it up in a blink of an eye.
