Chapter 253 King of Diligence?

The news that the emperor moved to Kunming made Zhou Shixiang and Chen Qice look at each other speechless. The former had known Sun, Li Neijing and the later Sun Kewang's defeat and surrender to the Qing Dynasty. He had been preparing for this day as early as Luo Dingshi, but the latter had no idea. How could he not be shocked when he heard such a big thing?

The navy general Zheng Chengkui had just returned from Jiangmen. Since Liang Biaoxiang fled, the Guangdong Navy of the Qing army was dead in name only. Not only could there be no ships from the Qing army on Tanjiang, but there were only a handful of Qing army ships that could be seen on the Pearl River. Therefore, Zheng Chengkui led his troops to Jiangmen and was not intercepted by the Qing army in Jiangmen. The Qing army green camp stationed in Yandun Mountain in Jiangnan and Penglai Mountain in Jiangbei had already known the news of the defeat of Xinhui, so the Ming navy did not have the courage to fire fire, and allowed Zheng Chengkui's troops to collect grain everywhere under their noses.

After confiscating the food and grass, Zheng Chengkui was worried about the Xinhui War, burned down a camp built by the Qing Navy in Jiangmen and led his troops back. As soon as he entered the city, before he could drink a sip of water, the news that the emperor moved to Kunming came. He was so scared that he accidentally knocked the big bowl to the ground, making a "bang" sound of broken porcelain.

Zheng Chengkui said in a lost voice: "Why did the emperor go to Kunming? What is Li Dingguo going to do? What is he going to do with the thief in the West?" Because he just came back, he didn't know the cause and effect of the matter, so he thought that Li Dingguo was a thief and could not change his nature. He tied the emperor to Kunming. He was so angry that he wanted to tie Li Dingguo and chopped him up.

The navy general present hurriedly whispered the story of the emperor moving to Kunming and Zheng Chengkui briefly. He was so shocked that he opened his mouth and couldn't close it. After a while, he smacked his lips and turned to worry: "So, is Li Dingguo going to start a war with Sun Kewang?"

"Sun Kewang's thief was ambitious to harm the emperor himself, and he didn't think about what he was. He was worthy of being the emperor with his mud legs. I'm apologizing! The King of Xining is a loyal minister. Even if Sun Kewang starts a war with the King of Xining, he can't beat the King of Xining, unless God is blind, let the thief beat the King of Xining!"

The one who scolded Sun Kewang was the navy general Wang Pengzhi. This man had a beard on his face, and when he saw a rough look, he looked a bit similar to Ge Zheng, a hundred households of the Taiping Army who died in battle. (The previous article was wrong, and the one who executed the killing of prisoners was Ge Zheng's brother Ge Yi, also known as Ge Liu)

Wang Pengzhi became more and more angry as he cursed. He raised his legs and walked out of the hall and pointed to Guizhou to curse the ancestors of Sun Kewang family for 18 generations. If someone hadn't been pulled over, he wouldn't know what bad things would have been cursed.

Thinking that he was not satisfied with the scolding, Wang Pengzhi simply walked up to Chen Qice to ask for an order. He shouted: "Master, the emperor asked Sun Kewang to force him to Kunming. Sun Kewang has many soldiers and generals. We cannot let the King of Xining deal with Sun Kewang alone. The general will take us to Kunming to help the king and protect him!"

"Nothing!"

Chen Qice was so angry that he slapped the table and said angrily: "If you say you are the king, you will be the king. Do you have the emperor's edict to pay attention to the king!"

Wang Pengzhi didn't expect the old general to be angry, so he didn't dare to contradict him and muttered guiltily: "Has the emperor been forced to Kunming by Sun Kewang? This edict of responsible for the king will definitely come down, maybe it will be on the road now...?w·a?n?"

"Since we have not received the imperial edict for the king yet, just stay honestly and dare to yell, I will let you go back to Shangkawa Island!"

After saying that, Chen Qice snorted. He said this to Wang Pengzhi and to other generals present. The emperor moved to Kunming and was a small matter. No one knew what would happen later. With Sun Kewang's domineering arrogance, he would not be willing to leave his control. Therefore, it can be foreseeable that the battle between Sun and Li was right in front of him. This is a major event for whether the Yongli court can survive or not. It is also a major event that concerns whether the Ming Dynasty can revive. In the face of such a major event, Chen Qice must not allow his subordinates to make a decision, nor tolerate his subordinates having different thoughts. He said ugly words in front of him. If someone tried the law with his body, even though he was old, his sword was not old yet!

From the bottom of my heart, Chen Qice may not have wanted to lead his troops to serve the king, but his subordinates are all navy troops, and Kunming is thousands of miles away from Xinhui. When he overcomes the difficulties, the daylily will be cold! What's more, he has not received the imperial edict from the court to serve the king. There is no edict. Chen Qice is General Linghai stationed in Guangdong. He has served the king without receiving the imperial edict. In the big way, he said that he wanted to do something wrong, and in the small way, he was also the crime of losing the land and abandoning the emperor.

Chen Qice has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for the rest of his life. He will never make this mistake. What should he do? He still has to wait for news from Leizhou. Anyway, if the court really wants him to be in charge of the king, he will leave without saying a word. Even if he dies halfway, he will go. But if the court does not want him to be in charge of the king, he will stay in Xinhui, even if he dies, he will die in his flood land!

Shangkawa Island is not as good as Xinhui. The place is so barren that it is dying and is lonely overseas. Now the main force is in Xinhui. Wang Pengzhi is not willing to go back to that ghost place, so he is so scared that he quickly retreats and never dares to say a word again.

The general was furious and said something clearly. No matter how thoughtful the generals of the Navy were, they would wisely shut up. The Taiping Army took Zhou Shi as the other party, and Zhou Shi did not speak, so naturally the officers would not speak nonsense.

Hu Deyu coughed lightly and stepped forward to Chen Qice and said, "General, Li Dingguo is moving the emperor to Kunming. Sun Kewang will not give up, I am afraid that he will have already rushed to Kunming. The students heard that the elite of the Great Western Army is in the hands of Sun Kewang, and the generals who can fight are also under Sun Kewang's command. Compared with the two, although Li Dingguo is also a general, he may not be able to beat Sun Kewang. If things really hit the worst, please make plans early."

"What are the plans?" Chen Qice sighed and waved his hand and said, "I was born in the Ming Dynasty, and died in the Ming Dynasty. If the court is gone, what's the point of my life? The late emperor could sacrifice his country in Coal Mountain, so why should I, Chen Qice, cherish this old body?"

Seeing that Chen Qice misunderstood his meaning, Hu Deyu hurriedly wanted to persuade him, but saw Zhou Shixiang saying, "Don't be pessimistic, the matter is not here. In the eyes of the younger generation, Sun Kewang really wants to fight with the King of Xining, and he will definitely fail in the end, not the court and the King of Xining!"

"Why is Zhou Qianhu so sure that Sun Kewang will lose?"

Hu Deyu was a little surprised at why Zhou Shixiang was so sure that Sun Kewang would be defeated. After all, Sun Kewang's troops were the largest main force of the Ming army, with more than 20,000 people, while Li Dingguo had only 450,000 troops. The strength of the two was several times different. Judging from the territory and military strength alone, Li Dingguo basically had no chance of winning. However, Zhou Shixiang stood up and said that Sun Kewang would be defeated and Li Dingguo would be defeated, which was a bit unacceptable for a while.

"Great righteousness!"

Zhou Shixiang looked at everyone confidently and said loudly: "Because the righteousness is in the court, Sun Kewang will definitely be defeated!" (To be continued.)
