Chapter 287 Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes
When Zhao Tai ran away, he was defeated like a mountain.
The defensive force in Kaohsiung City collapsed in an instant, and the small army formed into groups of three and gradually advanced towards the Woxin Hall. Wherever they passed, all the Huilongying soldiers who had no time to escape were wiped out.
His Highness's decree is to fight to the front of the Woxin Palace and not accept surrender.
There is no need to accept surrender.
Most of the newly formed guards were pirates who had been recently reorganized by Han Dynasty. They were full of crimes, and they could be killed without any psychological pressure.
Huben, Langqi and Jinyao Sanwei are of higher quality.
But Huben did not participate in the battle.
The Wolf Cavalry and Jin Yao guards were partially damaged in the battle, leaving about 10,000 people for the Baozong.
Of course, ordinary soldiers don't know the twists and turns involved.
They only know that His Highness the Crown Prince is not wrong.
Sleeping Hall.
As the battle report of the frontline's defeat came, Zhu Qizhen panicked. Regardless of the fact that only about a quarter of the huge wealth had been shipped, he hurriedly issued an order to withdraw from Kaohsiung and retreat to the sea.
Han Shui led the Tiger Guards to defend Zhu Qizhen. Zhang Chenglu and Kong Hongxu made an emergency retreat. As for Chen Lan and Zhao Tai, who were still on the front line, they could no longer take care of them.
Before leaving the Woxin Hall, Zhu Qizhen gave an order to Han Shui.
Hidden gold and silver in the treasury.
If you can't hide it, just set it on fire and burn some of it.
Anyway, it would not satisfy Zhu Jianji.
Han Shuihui immediately led the people to go to the errands in person. After completing the errands, he rushed to the seaside and Zhu Qizhen happened to board the ship.
Zhu Qizhen looked at the thick smoke in the direction of the treasury and was very satisfied with Han Shuiping's work efficiency. He motioned to Han Shuiping to board the ship. At that moment, Zhao Tai ran over with the remaining soldiers.
Zhu Qizhen thought that I was about to flee again, and it would be better to have more followers around me. Unexpectedly, before he ordered Zhao Tai and the remaining soldiers to wait for the ship, Han Shuihui issued an order, saying that the defeated general would dare to come to meet His Majesty.
Let the Huben Guards capture Han Shuiping and several of his trusted generals, and then behead them.
Although Zhu Qizhen felt unhappy when he saw this, he understood Han Shuiping's thoughts.
Kaohsiung was defeated. As the commander-in-chief, Han Ping-ping had to find someone to take the blame.
Nowadays, we have to rely on Han Shuiping everywhere, and Zhu Qizhen doesn't care. There are mediocre people like Zhao Tai everywhere, but talents like Han Shuiping are rare.
The battleship slowly left the port.
Zhu Qizhen stood on the bow of the ship and saw from a distance the young soldiers in Kaohsiung City swarming towards the Woxin Hall.
Woxin Hall is at the highest point in Kaohsiung City.
Even at sea, one can clearly see the densely packed young soldiers in front of the Woxin Hall, with the Ming Dynasty flag flying.
Zhu Qizhen was stunned.
How did things develop like this?
It's unreasonable.
How could a young army of 10,000 people be in Taiwan as if it were uninhabited? Huilongying was obviously the strongest navy in the Ming Dynasty at present, so how could it not fight back when facing a young army of 10,000 people?
power?
The great ambition of establishing a small imperial court at the beginning seemed so ironic when he was fleeing in embarrassment at this moment.
Han Shuihui stood behind Zhu Qizhen, looked in the direction of the Benxin Palace, and said comfortingly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, although the young army is invincible in land warfare, they will never dare to pursue it."
This... Han Shuiping himself didn't believe it.
The kind of artillery used by Youjun that explodes and explodes as soon as it hits the ground is simply a nightmare for battleships.
But Han Shuihui knew that the young army would not pursue him.
Otherwise, His Majesty Baozong would have no chance to escape.
Zhu Qizhen did not know the specific situation of the war at all, and believed that Han Shui's words were reasonable. After all, Huilongying's naval combat strength was here, and the young army was seeking death if it came to pursue it.
He let out a long sigh, "Where else can we go?"
Han Huixing looked at Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu.
Kong Hongxu immediately said: "You can go to Japan. Ashikaga Yoshimasa of the Ashikaga Shogunate is stupid and incompetent. Japan is about to enter chaos. If we go to Japan, we have a chance to unify this island country."
Zhang Chenglu shook his head, "No, Japan is already lacking in supplies. After we go to Japan, we will be trapped and die on that island sooner or later. Wei Chen thinks that we can go to the border of Guangxi, where there is Annan's army. We can use Annan's
Strength, regain Taiwan."
Kong Hongxu immediately said: "But if the Annan regime is unified, after we pass there, we will inevitably have conflicts with the Li Dynasty, which is not conducive to development. In the long run, Japan is the most suitable."
The final destination is Annan.
But you can't say it directly, you have to let Baozong choose to go to Annan.
Zhu Qizhen shook his head, "Are you still going to Guangxi?"
This is not how you seek death.
Now that Taiwan is gone, the local capitals in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Guangxi, Jiangxi, and Huguang can all transfer their troops to Guangxi. Annan's tens of thousands of troops can escape unscathed, even if Li Sicheng is unlucky.
Just go to Japan.
Who knew that when the fleet had just made a big detour to go to Japan, it encountered the fleet of the Ming Dynasty Navy.
As a last resort, I turned around quickly.
It is not that they are afraid of the Ming Navy, but that they are afraid of being dragged into a tight siege.
Where to turn around?
Zhu Qizhen weighed it again and again and had no choice but to issue an order to go to Annan.
In any case, Ming Dynasty currently does not have the strength to invade Annan.
So……
Let's go to Annan.
There are also complete Tiger Guards, some Wolf Cavalry Guards and Jin Yao Guards under his command, more than 10,000 people, and they have brought nearly 10 million taels of gold and silver. When they arrived in Annan, Li Sicheng had to weigh it and did not dare to break up with him.
Shameful.
There is even a chance that the dove will occupy the magpie's nest.
…
…
Zhu Jianji stood in front of the Woxin Hall, watching Baozong's fleet go away with a dark smile.
His Majesty Baozong is so obedient.
If nothing unexpected happened, the Baozong would want to go to Japan first, and then encounter the interception of the Ming Navy. Finally, in desperation, he could only choose to go to Jiaozhi to join the Li Shengzong of the Li Dynasty.
Li Shengzong and Li Sicheng still have two brushes.
What a coincidence.
Baozong also has two brushes.
These two emperors are bound to have a battle on the land of Jiaozhi. When the time comes, whether Li Shengzong wins or Zhu Qizhen wins, it will be the opportunity for Ming Dynasty to pick up fallen peaches.
very good.
The plan came true perfectly.
Xie Wan, who was standing next to Zhu Jianji, sighed: "Maybe His Majesty Baozong never dreamed that he would always be in His Highness's urn."
Thank you Wan for not dying.
When the Baozong attacked him, he thought he was dead, but he never expected that the commander of the Tiger Guards, Han Shui Shui, was actually a member of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Even Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu were felled by His Highness in advance.
Horrible.
Xie Wan was really convinced.
His Royal Highness sent the Baozong to Taiwan, and the chess pieces that fell were him and Fan Biao. This time he sent the Baozong to Jiaozhi, and the chess pieces that fell turned out to be Han Pingping, Kong Hongxu, and Zhang Chenglu!
Even Meng Xi, the eunuch and eunuch who was responsible for the rituals, was a chess piece of His Highness.
It's too scary.
It's okay to say that Kong Hongxu and Zhang Chenglu were brought over from Shandong and Jiangxi after all, so it was understandable that they had been arranged by His Highness. However, Han Shuiping and Meng Xi had been in Taiwan, and they had become pawns of His Highness the Crown Prince.
How did His Highness the Crown Prince do this without Xie Wan and Fan Biao, and who did he handle it through?
Xie Wan doesn't know.
He only knows one thing: His Royal Highness is too scary.
If he had any different intentions from Fan Biao, I'm afraid he would have died long ago.
Zhu Jianji chuckled, "It's useless for Baozong to think about it. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. As long as Gu Gu thinks about it, everyone in the world can be used by Gu, not just a few Koreans."
