Chapter 155 Zhu Qizhen: Why did I start running away again?
Quanzhou is located in a plain, and the vast terrain of Fengzhou Town provides a perfect battlefield for field battles.
Arrange troops.
Send generals.
Array.
The war drums beat, the sound is heart-shaking, the flags are fluttering like the ocean, the spears are like forests reflecting the blue sky, the dust is flying and horses are chirping, the majesty of the battlefield is fully displayed at this moment, making people excited.
Zhu Jianji was wearing armor and hanging a sword, and beside him were three hundred young troops from the East Palace guarding him.
Behind him were more than 20,000 troops standing in formation.
Zhang Peng and Wang Yue were wearing armor at their sides.
The two of them were extremely nervous.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince insists on going his own way and has to go to the front line. The risk is too great.
Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei was also covered in armor and asked from the side: "Your Highness, how do you know that Zhu Zunxi and the puppet emperor will return to Quanzhou in a roundabout way, and how can you be sure that their scouts will not come to Fengzhou Town?"
It felt like the scouts of Zhu Zunxi and Zhu Qizhen's army were blinded. Fengzhou Town was only more than thirty miles away from Quanzhou, and they didn't realize that the three thousand forwards just rushed into the encirclement and were killed.
After a pause, "With such a good opportunity, why don't we take advantage of it and kill them by surprise?"
Zhu Jianji smiled and said, "Someone will kill them and catch them off guard."
Zhu Mianpei became more and more confused.
Zhu Jianji chuckled and said: "Don't worry, Prince Ning, all your doubts will soon be revealed. Now let the bullets fly for a while. They have been flying for so long, so don't worry at this moment."
Zhu Mianpei was secretly alarmed and had a hunch that the rebellion in Fujian might be caused by Zhu Qiyu and his son playing chess again.
Fortunately...
Fortunately, I didn't get involved.
Otherwise, like Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Zunxi, they would not know how they died.
Zhu Jianji said to Li Jiu, a hundred households in the young army: "Send a signal to the two groups of troops and launch an offensive at the same time."
Stand up with the sword.
He said to Zhang Peng and Wang Yue who were standing aside: "You two, together with His Highness Prince Ning, will go to Quanzhou Mansion later."
Zhang Peng and Wang Yue led the edict.
Zhu Jianji then said to Dai Yi, Zhao Mu and others: "You...forget it, you don't have much chance to fight. Let's go with Youjun and follow me later."
Dai Yi, Zhao Mu, Bai Qingzhi and other seven young eunuchs took the order.
Zhu Jianji waved his hand, "Bring the horses, Zhao Er, Chen Qi, and Li Jiu will lead the young army to go out with Gu!"
Zhu Jianji led 300 young troops, raised dust with iron hooves, bypassed the battlefield, and ran towards the east from another direction, as if going to the seaside. This scene shocked Zhu Mianpei to the point of death.
what happened?
The war is about to begin, and His Royal Highness actually leaves first?
What was he doing at the beach?
Moreover, Zhang Peng and Wang Yue did not object.
Not worried?
There is only one possibility: Zhang Peng and Wang Yue knew that the war was over and that there was no danger for the Crown Prince to go to the beach, so they kept silent.
But it hasn’t even started yet, so why is it over?
Zhu Mianpei looked confused.
While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard the explosion of fireworks above my head. I looked up and saw a firework exploding in the pale sunshine. The sound echoed into the distance. I became more and more surprised. The army was attacking. Since when had fireworks been used as a signal?
However, just a moment later, two fireworks rose at the same time on the left and right front of the army!
Zhang Peng smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, stay still for a moment and let the three soldiers from the three camps go ahead. We and many officials will then go to Quanzhou Mansion."
His and Wang Yue's mission was to keep an eye on Ning Wang Zhu Dianpei.
Zhu Mianpei sighed, "I'm confused."
Zhang Peng laughed loudly.
Before His Highness told the truth, he and Wang Yue were also confused.
…
…
Zhu Qizhen was sitting in the chariot, watching the three fireworks dissipate in the sky. Before he could react, he saw a bloody general galloping towards him. Zhu Qizhen recognized this person.
The commander of Fuzhou Zuowei.
The Fuzhou Left Guard is the force of the left wing's sudden attack.
The commander shouted before he even got close: "Your Majesty, there are a large number of soldiers and horses on the left wing. They seem to be the two large armies of Jiangxi Dusi and Tuanying led by Funing Marquis Zhu Yong. They have tens of thousands of troops. The Fuzhou left guard has already defected.
, rebelled!”
Zhu Qizhen took a breath of cold air.
Is Zhu Yongyong in Yanping Mansion? How did he come to Quanzhou?
However……
It’s not over!
Just when Zhu Qizhen, Xie Wan, and Long Ping'an were discussing how to withdraw their troops due to the sudden rebellion, several more bloody generals hurried back.
Either the commander, the commander, or the Qianhu of Qianhusuo.
They are all people who are determined to rebel.
The news he brought made Zhu Qizhen feel cold all over.
A large number of soldiers and horses also appeared on the right wing. The general leading the army was Yang Chang, the commander of the Fujian Dusi Command. As Yang Chang led his army to raid, the Zhangzhou Guards and Zhenhai Guards on the right wing also defected!
Isn't Yang Chang in Xianyou in Xinghua Prefecture? Why did he come to Quanzhou too?
And he also launched an attack on his own side?
what happened?
Zhu Qizhen had no time to think because...
Inverted!
At this critical moment, at this critical moment, at least half of the garrison stations under the jurisdiction of Fujian Dusi and Fujian Xingdusi chose to defect before the battle, perhaps because the 3,000 pioneers were wiped out.
Fortunately, the Zhendong Guard led by Fan Bin who was guarding Zhu Qizhen did not move.
Zhu Qizhen was extremely frightened.
Messy.
collapsed.
Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that a large army would be demoralized by the annihilation of a 3,000-man vanguard army. As soon as the enemy army appeared, they would immediately switch sides.
This battle is unwinnable.
Xie Wan reacted very quickly and said to Zhu Qizhen: "Your Majesty, we have fallen into a trap. This is all a conspiracy. It has been a conspiracy from the beginning. We have no time to explain now. We must evacuate immediately!"
Zhu Qizhen said hurriedly: "Go back to Quanzhou Mansion!"
Xie Wan said to Fan Biao next to him: "Lead the Zhendong Guard and defend His Majesty at all costs and retreat back to Quanzhou Mansion!"
Run, now the only thing left is to run.
Zhu Qizhen was like a lost dog, not caring about the civil and military officials following him. Under the guard of Fan Biao's east guard, he and Xie Wan took a car and quickly retreated towards Quanzhou Fucheng.
Looking at the embarrassed Zhendong guards outside the car, he suddenly remembered those days.
This is also true.
It was also a devastating defeat.
What's ridiculous is that just a moment ago, I was dreaming of capturing Zhu Jianji alive!
It's ironic.
Zhu Qizhen was sitting in the carriage, looking at Xie Wan sitting next to him, and muttered, "Xie Shaobao, why did things become like this?"
Xie Wan sighed, "Your Majesty, we have all ignored Wu An!"
The commander of Fujian Capital and the commander of Sidu Wu An!
An Pingbo, the eldest brother of Empress Dowager Wu!
Now that I think about it, how could such a person rebel? Even if he embezzled tens of millions of taels in overseas smuggling, it would be impossible for him to rebel, because even if he was severely investigated by Yu Qian, the Empress Dowager Wu would protect him and at most he would be dismissed from office.
You can still enjoy the glory and wealth.
However, now that something like this has happened, not only will Wu An not be dismissed from office, but he will even be able to make meritorious deeds.
Maybe he will become the Marquis of Anping!
It didn't matter that Zhu Qizhen ran away. The entire army was in complete chaos. Except for those who defected before the battle, all the others surrendered. Not a single soldier of the army led by Yang Chang and Zhu Yong, as well as the three regiments and battalions of Zhu Jianji's department, was injured.
Take control of the battle situation.
Just like another earthen fortress.
How high-spirited we were when we sent out troops from Quanzhou Fucheng, but how miserable we are now!
